Posted my animation over there earlier this morning aaaaaaand I'm sure the discourse which followed was a completely normal one indicative of well adjusted, not at all super weird human beings....

Just gonna share this blurb I saw floating around here:

"How's that? You like having a scaly cock reaming your ass, don't you bitch?" A well-built yellow reptilian hissed into the rabbit thief's ear, his studded penis sliding hard and fast inside of her as he squeezed her breasts painfully. "I'll pump enough cum in your ass to fill a bathtub, you worthless cunt."
"Kuoooh...! I'm coming again!" A dark-tinted snake groaned as he climaxed once more into the rabbit's pussy, his seed overflowing out of her as he continued to thrust like a mindless drone. "Her pussy is too damn good, I can't get enough of it!"
"Of course you can't get enough, rabbit bitches have 1st-rate holes." Laughed the yellow thug. "Her ass is fuckin' great. I'll try to leave it intact when I'm done, so you can give it a go. Heh heh..."
"Here, a big load for ya!" A green-scaled snake grunted as he ejaculated a thick volume of semen down the rabbit girl's throat. The seed that she failed to swallow spurted out with a gurgling sound, drenching her breasts in the sticky fluid. The thug shook his head in mock disapproval, forcing her to deepthroat him once more as he resumed thrusting.
"Didn't I tell ya to drink it all ya worthless bunny bitch?" he taunted her while spitting on her face, rubbing the vile saliva into her fur with his free hand. "It's your meal after all. You're gonna spend the rest of your life here as our meat toilet, with a steady diet of nothin' but cock and spunk! Hahaha!"


It's incredible. Like...it commits every single infraction. It left nothing to chance.*

They don't even have names.


_{*Actually all but 1; The word slut never appears here. Instead, they just used 'bitch' 3 times in like 2 paragraphs.}

Just once, that's all I'm asking. Just try it, see if it's for you. ANY of you, even just one furry, anywhere, just try it once, and if you still don't like it, you can go back to your 'cumsluts' and your 'daddies' and your 'bitches.'

We've seen this joke a million times. And it's true. Basically a punchline in the art world. Not much to say about this, itself.

Unless of course you're a popular artist who has decided your way of life is being threatened by reality. Let's read on...

https://twitter.com/Astral_lewds/st.....54786176278532

This is a blatantly false statement. I've been doing NSFW and SWF art for years and years. I do them interchangeably to this day. Did y'all flock to fave and love Everett brushing his ears? Fuck no. And for the record, I'm not here to bitch about that. I'm just saying - no, as a matter of fact, that was NOT more popular than my crappy animation loops of Harse fucking Nelli in a full Nelson, no, that was NOT more popular than "Three Idiots Fuck a Possum." I know that. Reasonable people know, and this isn't even anecdotal evidence, sheer numbers refute any statement to the contrary if you just spend some time browsing this or any other site of its type.

Is the artist correct to suggest that constant posting and social media presence is key? Absolutely. But claiming it therefore levels the playing field displays the same naivety as posing the question "what's bigger - the sun or the moon?"

But nothing takes the cake like this fucking jackass...

https://twitter.com/theobromic_/sta.....27165153476608

If you've heard me say it once, you've heard me say it a million times. But I'll let my quote tweet start us off:

Ah yes, that old chestnut. Real artists don't care if their art is unappreciated and largely ignored. Creative expression is best enjoyed with a windowless basement in total darkness, because you're fully self actualized!

These sentiments are shared by exactly 2 kinds of people: Non-artists who don't understand what motivates an artist to express themselves, and popular artists who lucked their way into succeeding and/or don't remember what it was like to struggle. This person is the latter. Over 100K followers and is telling the struggling artists how they should feel. There are a multitude of reasons this take is the exact wrong one.

First of all, because there's nothing wrong with wanting your creative vision to be seen and appreciated - that's hugely why people do it. If you're suggesting that somebody is wrong to be upset that their art isn't succeeding with an audience, then you should be just as prepared to suggest that somebody is wrong to be happy when it does succeed because according to your logic, both are the wrong way to feel. It basically dictates that anybody with the ambition to succeed with their art professionally or otherwise is inherently wrong to do so. Taylor Swift won another Grammy? Yeah well, clearly she's an emotionally immature child to have even wanted to win one in the first place. Right?

Second: This dumbass edit suggests that the person in the original version isn't personally fulfilled, even though that's not what the first comic is about. It's simply stating that you can put all kinds of hard work and dedication into your craft but that's not ultimately what's going to sell you to the world. That's all it's about. That if you choose to do so, there are a few shortcuts you can take to popularity. It's not endorsing those shortcuts, nor is it vilifying them. It's saying: They exist. And if you experiment with one, you'll definitely notice. You can be fulfilled with what you do and still wish that others shared your same appreciation for the subject matter.

Third: This has already been pointed out, but the person who made this edit is a very popular artist with a huge following, and they're essentially doing that thing that billionaires do when they tell you to pull yourself up by your bootstraps. "It worked out for me so, stop complaining." Parading around like they've got this great wisdom on the subject just because they have a protective circle of sycophants to click the little heart on their shitty take. Trust me when I say this: If a popular artist is telling you that you're wrong to feel bad that your art doesn't get much appreciation, consider the source.

That's not to say the otherwise moronic "just do it for you" take is wrong every time. The problem is how rarely it's correctly deployed. It implies that an artist who wants to succeed isn't already doing it for themselves. Just because you're doing something you love doesn't mean you therefore shouldn't want to go further with it. Now, if somebody is literally just drawing what they think people want to see and radically changing what they do and draw to capitalize on changing trends and are solely in it for the popularity and, presumably, the financial gain they assume comes with it then yes, that's kind of doing it for the wrong reasons, and unless they succeed in capturing than money then they'll never enjoy what they do because they never did to begin with.

Holy god damn I can't articulate enough how dumb this take is every time it rears its ugly head.



...The overall point being...yeah, no. porn is more popular than not-porn. lmao don't be stupid.

McCarthy finally appeased enough Nazis to get over the line and become Speaker of the House. Apparently, one of the concessions he made in order to get the votes was to essentially force the nation to default on its debts the next time a government funding bill comes up, as a pretext to cut social security and medicare.

It's all very funny in a "we as a country absolutely deserve this" sort of way but it's baffling to me that there are people my age and younger whose plan is "do absolutely nothing and stay in America." Like sure, it's a financial and logistical nightmare to leave but when your government is telling you "you have no future, we will personally see to it that you don't, it's nothing but poverty, housing crises, and white supremacists marching through the streets from here until the Collapse" it does seem sorta weird to just keep sitting there watching Youtube. But, that's just me.

Anyway, here's a fun fact: You know all that female rage we were due after the Roe v. Wade thing?

53% of white women voted Republican in the 2022 midterms.

This place ain't changing y'all. Not for the better, at least.

Eventually, you're gonna stop being horny, look at the body of work which was caused by the horny, and think "Jesus Christ, I produce trash."

I suggest naming this the Refegi Law.

I mean.

I live in America, so...

We're just gonna lose more human rights at the SCOTUS.

The natural resources will be further depleted.

More rightwing terrorist attacks for sure.

Maybe a second pandemic because why the fuck not.

But, Tears of the Kingdom is supposed to come out in 2023. And according to the emotionally healthy and self actualized optimists constantly telling me that I'm wrong to feel the way that I do, that is 100% equal to all of the items that preceded it, and I've shown a lot of growth, today.

Let's all try and have shot at least one Nazi in the god damn face by this time next year.

That time of year again for my thinly-veiled attempt to get more eyes on the stuff that I and perhaps only I liked* that I did this year under the guise of a yearly retrospective. Looking at my gallery, it was definitely a slow year for me. Starting college** over the summer coupled with the most toxic depression and general bad feelings I've ever had in my life left me less inclined to produce much in the way of art or porn, a lack of interest which, despite my more psychologically even keel, still largely persists. All the same, I made a few things this year that were less crap than some. And so here they are, in their ultimate form: Itemized.

Jin Yuta - https://www.furaffinity.net/view/45478558/

A drawing that was significant for me for a few reasons. One, it was the start of my more serious and thought-out backstory for my wrestling-character canon upon the creation of Yuta, the de facto 'final boss' among those characters. But it was also the beginning of a new artistic practice I use to try and get past my natural, weak drawing skills, after I, thankfully, noticed how poorly drawn the first version of him was. Which isn't to say this version has aged entirely gracefully but, I could hate it worse.

World 6 - https://www.furaffinity.net/view/45699886/

A song I made for that annual music contest. Not sure if I'm gonna bother entering again this year as I doubt I'd ever even place anyway. Though it's worth notice that I've been in the mood to do some music again, finally, though I'm not sure what kind of time I'd have as my next semester starts soon. That said, I was pretty happy with this, even if it sounds a bit muddled with heavy-bass setups. It was a tune in my head for literal decades so it was cool to finally use it for something. Music isn't something most people here are gonna bother checking out so, fortunately, it's one of the only mediums where I feel like I can evaluate the success or failure of the results without outside perspective.

First Shop - https://www.furaffinity.net/view/46402589/

Clean commissions are a nice change of pace when I feel up to the task, and I felt like the story with this one was a very good example of my style of handling romantically involved couples and trying to make them feel real without getting overly cutesy and unrealistically sappy. I think about doing all kinds of additional scenarios with these two but again, my lack of motivation and the general lack of interest in this fandom for clean art keeps me from going any further than just the thoughts themselves.

Special Day - https://www.furaffinity.net/view/46606834/

Finally, some porn. Don't have a ton to say about this, it's a scene I did for Field, he seemed unsure of it in the sketch phase and then later said he liked it possibly to humor me. Either way, a rare case of me doing a porn drawing with no questionable consent, just two lovers fucking like crazy in their bed. Sometimes, I forget the appeal of the simplicity of that when done right. Helps when I know why I should give a damn about them, and Field spends a lot of time writing for his characters so I have something to play off of, even if I often stubbornly try and push them in a direction more suited to my preferred characterizations.

True Happiness - https://www.furaffinity.net/view/47016658/

I feel like this is one of my better executed musical compositions in terms of accomplishing what I set out to do with it, and also sounds perhaps the 'fullest' of all of them, sound-wise. Designed as Jin-Yuta's entrance theme, it was a daunting task to try and make something that felt adequate for the stature of the character as conceived. I'm sure it could be improved upon with a fuller arsenal of instrumentation but, for my limited equipment and experience, I was fairly pleased with how this turned out, although I knew it would ultimately just be for me.

Kanako Susanoo - https://www.furaffinity.net/view/48258204/

I felt it was time to finally introduce a female wrestler character, and wanted it to be a good one. Kanako is inspired by WWE's Asuka, formerly known as Kana in Japan, as well as Japanese wrestling legend Jushin Thunder Liger. This was one of my most ambitious coloring tasks and I think the color scheme is the strongest part of the drawing as a result, as I avoided making it look too muddled or messy. It's also one of my favorite character bios among the wrestling characters.

Reza the etc. etc. - https://www.furaffinity.net/view/48391673/

Not much to say here. It was a commission. There's not much to this character that isn't plainly stated, but I tend to draw him well and flex my muscle as the sheriff of Squirrelville.

High Risk - https://www.furaffinity.net/view/48347174/

I'm not actually all that thrilled with how this drawing came out and feel like I could have done better but, multiple people, including friends who otherwise ignore nearly everything I do, went out of their way to mention the description I wrote for it so it seemed worth including. StunBun.

Some Dragons - https://www.furaffinity.net/view/50323751/

It's recent but, it's one of the few times I've ever used my animation skills for good, instead of evil. I made this for a recently ordained buddy I only started seriously talking to this past summer and as it stands, she's my only friend that I currently trust enough to talk to on any serious, emotional level. But, no pressure. I thought of the idea for this scene (and by that I mean, thought of stealing the idea for this scene) long before I ever actually made the animation but after the buddy it was made for accosted me with any other financial gift, I decided I'd better retaliate. Of course, as she's a fundamentally broken person as with everyone else I know, she insisted on paying for it anyway despite instruction not to. Anyway, I frequently think about doing stupid things like this more than you'd think but almost never have the energy to do, so I guess that's my little way of saying, some people I piss me off less than most.

Honorable Mention - Anti-Nazi Rhetoric

If you're constantly being harassed by angry rightwingers offended at your anti-Nazi signage, you know you're exactly the kind of person you should be. Even if internet mods in bafflement, thinking to themselves "Hm, Nazis...people who hate Nazis...well I just plum can't tell the difference."



So that's all of it. A whole lotta nothin', but it's all I know how to do.

https://youtu.be/OUpjeA-HMnY

We've been meaning to do this for a while. This is the kind of cool shit Nintendo does that they utterly fail to properly advertise.

Players: My sister Stephanie, her wife Jennifer, their house-man Zac.

Award-Winning Cinematographer: Me.

That ridiculous horse racing toy was probably my favorite thing because I love shit like that, any little table-top toy/game like that. Any horse in Lane 4 seems to have an advantage under normal circumstances, due to a speed up which occurs at about the middle of the track. But then that same horse slows down just before the finish line. It is my canon that the horse is given fast-acting stimulants halfway through the race by his cheating jockey but then experiences the crash just before the finish, making for a dramatic and poetic finale. However, we did test this in alternate 'conditions' including placing the device on an incline to make them run uphill, which lane 4's horse can NOT handle at all, due to the aforementioned slowdown, as well as making them race into a crosswind via a blowing fan.

I gave mom a picture and keychain of her recently deceased dog. My younger sister Rebecca got a mini-drone because I had no idea what to get her and thought that might be random and fun. My older sister and her wife, the former being the person I tend to spend the most on, got a Steam Deck with some financial help from their roommate and adoptive family member, Zac. As it's the season of giving and not getting, I definitely won Christmas with that one, blew everyone else out of the water.

Then later that day we discovered that the shop has this game called Super Blackjack Battle II Turbo and seriously, look that shit up right now because it's amazing.

Perhaps best of all, dad didn't come with us to the hotel because after I pushed him out of a chair on Thanksgiving after...30ish uninterrupted years of him acting like an asshole, he decided not to try his luck with me on Christmas, so the holiday went off pretty successfully what with is primary obstacle sidelined.

Now that the event is over, I can get back to what I really love - dreading my upcoming college semester and questioning why I internet with any other human beings, anywhere, ever. And maybe play The Long Dark some more.

The former comrades of former US Navy Seal Eddie Gallagher testified that they witnessed him murder a 17-year-old enemy combatant being treated by a medic within his unit. Gallagher was also accused by his fellow snipers of shooting an unarmed old man and school girl, for fun. He was acquitted.

On May 24, 2022, Nineteen children and two adults were killed in a shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde County. In the time since this occurred, the US Supreme Court made it all but impossible to enforce gun laws in any individual state, and the county of Uvalde voted overwhelmingly for politicians who champion unrestricted access to deadly firearms.

Teenager Kyle Rittenhouse transported an assault rifle, illegal, across state lines in order to confront racial justice protesters, ultimately murdering two of them. He was acquitted and is now a modern folk hero of America's major right-wing party.

Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, Arizona, California, and Nevada all rely on the Colorado river, which is drying up at the same time that a sharing agreement is set to expire in the next few years, all but ensuring a water war between the states likely to end in an entire region of the US being virtually uninhabitable, a story that is being reported on primarily by committed environmental journalists but ignored everywhere else prior to the disaster striking in full.

On November 19, 2022, a mass shooter killed 5 people and injured 19 others in the LGBTQ club known as Club Q, following a blitz of violent rhetoric aimed at LGBTQ people all over the country. When interviewed, the suspect's father expressed only relief that his son was not gay.

In the summer of 2022, the Supreme Court of the United States, whose conservative majority represents an overwhelming minority of the country's population, voted to overturn a woman's guaranteed right to bodily autonomy. In that same opinion, the conservative justices expressed interest in using this as a pretext to also overturn the right to same-sex marriage, and same-sex relationships in general. There is also a greater push by conservative politicians and activists to ban the right to contraception in the wake of the ruling.

In the time since the COVID-19 pandemic hit, the biggest companies in the US have gotten extraordinarily richer, at the same time that it's all but assumed that Social Security will end in the lifetime of people currently exiting college, who will, by and large, not be expected to be able to buy a home, a looming housing crisis on top of the ongoing one both of which being, largely, ignored.

On January 6th, 2021, supporters of Republican President Donald Trump stormed the United States Capitol in an effort to violently overthrow the government and prevent the certification of his election loss. In the time which followed, the event has been used as a pretext for conservative politicians to further roll back voting rights and normalize the rhetoric of fraudulent elections in an attempt to justify the subversion of the democratic process. As of today, nobody involved in the actual orchestration of this attempted coup has been held accountable.



The American republic is not only fundamentally broken but actively falling. For many people in the world, they try desperately to ignore everything I've just listed here, opting instead for what some describe as 'positive vibes' and optimism. For some of us, due to how our brains are wired, we are literally incapable of ignoring these things, and think about them a lot, and have thought about them for a long time. It makes us pessimistic. It makes us cynical. It makes us 'negative.' We say things and make points, often with incredibly pointed and callous words, in an attempt to match the cynicism displayed to us by a failing society, itself. This is often frowned upon by those seeking instead to look on the 'positive side,' those choosing instead to focus on the regions of the country that are not yet threatened with being uninhabitable, focusing on those whose rights might be stripped eventually but, for now, are intact.

We're 'edgy' or haughty or divisive or abrasive. We're angry.

It's true. I'm very angry.

And that makes me part of the problem. Because without me, and without people similar to me, it'd be a lot easier not to think about how much raw ugliness we tolerate every single day as a society.

It makes us bad. It makes me bad. As far as some are concerned, it makes me the same as all the bad people I just described. And I refuse to accept that narrative. I refuse to accept that those who endorse everything I just described above, tacitly or directly, are exactly as valid in their opinions and their beliefs as those who hate it. If I do nothing else, I will never let that be okay, even in a society which overwhelmingly wants it to be true. But I do accept, that it'll make me the villain more often than not. I accept that the perception of me, as somebody who delivers a barrage of ugly truths, not particularly hidden but admittedly unpleasant, will be associated with those same ugly truths.

And I'll do it. I'll just have to accept it. Because, in light of the evidence, I don't know how else to be.

Then have a look at this...

https://youtu.be/z2UZTSx_Eco

HAHAHA! Take that shitlibs! I said Merry Christmas! You're so fucking mad! You're so fucking mad that I rejected your NPC echo chamber! I said MERRY CHRISTMAS! You didn't want me too, but I said it! You thought you could force me to say Happy Holidays and now you're mad! I fucking owned you! It's okay to say MERRY CHRISTMAS! None of you would dare disobey your communist overlords by saying Merry Christmas, only I have the BALLS to do it! Merry Christmas is actually banned but I said it anyway! I don't care if this site is a fucking cesspool of over-politicized SJW cuck shit, I said Merry Christmas and you're SO FUCKING MAD!!!!!

LMFAO FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU

Now you might expect this to be about how Kobold Kare is currently listed under 'popular' even though the opinions of furries should be disregarded in every single context of society because seriously, look at this fucking thing. And it is, a little. But it's more about how the platform does a real shit job of separating legitimate, quality products from, well, memes.

For example, when I see that a game has 'overwhelmingly positive' reviews, it gives me pause. Maybe the game is just that universally beloved. Or. maybe content creator Whitey McMelanope featured the game on his Youtube channel and his legions of 15 to 19 year olds flocked to steam to record their assigned opinions. Reviews like "I played this game too close to my fern, now it's a cactus" really don't need to be the most prominently featured just because they're so upvoted.

As Kent Brockman said, and America regularly confirms, democracy simply doesn't work.

And that's to say nothing about games themselves that keep showing up in my feed because they're popular.

"Hey, you like shooters, would you like to play this game where you're Kyle Rittenhouse gunning down liberals? You have to understand, you're a gamer in 2022, so we kinda just assumed you're also a Nazi."

Fair, but incorrect.

There needs to be a version of Steam you can access where it's all sorted by actual quality, rather than the opinions and tastes of 20 year olds who get all of their opinions, thoughts, feelings, identities and perhaps religious affiliation from streamers. Unless Steam would just like to start organizing things by some sort of legitimacy instead of just what the dumbest people on the internet think is funny, today.

I try not to talk much about that handsome-Squidward looking apartheid Nazi bitch but this one seems especially insane and is an all too on-the-nose example of why emotionally broken billionaires should be institutionalized indefinitely and ultra-wealth recognized for the mental illness it is, rather than put in charge of anything.

And you might be thinking "well sure he's bad but surely that has to be an oversimplification of what the policy actually is."

Nope: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FkR45znWAAs_LQZ?format=jpg&name=large

You will find him in my shouts and, possibly, my watcher list. Guess he found some of my noncon porn and thought "Rape? Those are my values!! This is my guy!" then was like "WAIT A MINUTE?!" when he found out my page is tailor-made to filter out people exactly like that for exactly that reason.

Anyway I checked out his twitter. The very first tweet there right this minute is super racist. Not even like a racist dogwhistle, just...straight up racist. And the rest of his feed his a mish-mash of other Nazis included Kyle Rittenhouse who is, weirdly, still alive.

And the ugly motherfucker is trying to catch me in a 'gotcha' about inclusion.

So please join me in wishing this guy a hearty 'fuck off' and a short life.

Edit: Dude deleted the racist tweet, which I anticipated, so here's a screenshot: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachme.....3370/image.png

Made sure to get his RT of that little murder-Nazi too, I want the there to be no question of the piece-of-shitism on display, here.

An interaction I've had numerous times:

Person: I like this. Sorry, I don't have any more specific feedback.

Me: What was your favorite part?

Person: -Describes favorite part-

Me: Cool. So what was with that blatant lie a moment ago?




And this


is why


I yell.

Not sure why this absolute charmer is getting the free treatment but the cutest mouse in gaming history is free right now on GOG. I played the shit out of this and bought it twice on Switch - one as a backup - and a special edition on PS4. Love this game, love it's look, love its themes. Sure it's a bit guilt of rats=bad but some rats are less bad and some mice are less good.

For those unaware, this is a light, stealth game which sees the player take on the role of Tilo, a mouse minstrel (mousetrel?) looking for his wife Merra after being imprisoned for insubordination or something like that. Much of the game is avoiding rat guards and finding the items you need to proceed, as well as completing outfits you can sue as a disguise and to gain certain benefits.

A consumer-level PC probably would struggle with it, however. The dev is a former Dreamworks animator so he made it very pretty at the expense of a PC's graphical hardware.

Anyway, get it.

It's the final week of the semester, and my final project for Web Fundamentals - a 4-page hand-coded website - is more or less finished. I'm still tinkering with it here and there but this is, basically, what we're gonna be presenting. It's basically a mini portfolio of some of my recent, creative works. I figured it'd set mine apart from the other students, who will largely be using the content we made for earlier assignments, assembled into a final product.

https://www.lardysquirrel.com/
https://www.lardysquirrel.com/
https://www.lardysquirrel.com/

Content wise, there's not much here you wouldn't have seen before, although there is a very cute re-color of a Zane drawing in there I've yet to post here on FA because I wanted to finish his new bio first. Like anyone cares.

Something funny happened while I was making this - the assignment from 2 weeks ago was to make a 'first draft' and a logo. But she didn't specify what constitutes a 'first draft' so to be safe, I...basically just made the whole thing then and there. So she gave me full points for the entire project, and told me I could ignore the feature-checklist. "I checked your code and it looks great so I'll just grade your final now!" Which is nice because my code wasn't actually perfect and she missed a few things but, whatever. I think she was just dazzled that I had been that proactive with it.

Since then, just for vanity reasons, I've made a few small improvements, including utilizing media queries to make it more responsive. This is most noticeable in that the hero image disappears when viewing it on smaller viewports, such as that of a tablet or smartphone. The "animations" page isn't as responsive as it could stand to be on mobile settings but it's like I always say - mobile browsing sucks. And if somebody tells you "your website isn't optimized for mobile" you just tell them "I know - that's why it looks good."

I could also stand to update the logo but I made that super hastily. As such it, and frankly the nav bar, look very 1998. But hey, whatever, she wanted a logo, I didn't wanna use some creative commons image, so I slapped one together so I could get moving on a final project I, frankly, barely had time for.

So...that's the website.

No I am NOT looking for weird nerds to give me unsolicited advice, thank you. I'm still in school. I'll get better.

After everything else that fucked it up, somebody on e621 flagged it because their phone in particular wouldn't play it. I of course took some issue with that and pointed out that flagging it when you're the ONE GUY reporting this problem seems kinda ridiculous.

Then I come back to see a new comment from one of the mods. I get this wall of text lecturing me for not being an expert on codecs and converting and all kinds of other nerd shit because I'm an artist and not a nerd, I merely provide content to your hellsite for free, I admit I don't know all the odds and ends of the files themselves. Come to find he's now doubled the animation's resolution which, I guess, was necessary to fix this ONE GUY's problem, even though it kinda fucks with the animation itself since it's not meant to be blown up that much...then he tells me, with a litany of spelling and grammatical errors, not to attack people for using the flagging system as it's super important that mods see these issues so they can worsen an animation for everybody in order to appease one single fucking pervert.

Super, super glad I was dependent on e621 for this, so glad I couldn't just post it here as normal like I wanted to, I generally like when my months-long projects are ignored and sabotaged over stupid shit.

Might have been because both websites seemed to conspire to utterly neuter the debut. Could also be that it was just kind of too long, figured people would appreciate a more drawn out chase to get them riled up but if "Try Again" has taught me anything...no, just give them the sex immediately, no setup, no thinking, no working for it.

Anyway, as promised I'll eventually post the sex loops and what not but I'll probably be more patient about waiting to see if this website and its hilariously bad handlers fix their shit before posting them since there's no particular enthusiasm about the animation anyway.

So after all that fucking bullshit with Furaffinity breaking everything, I finally put the motherfucker on e621 earlier, and then, lol, e621 decides they're doing server maintenance today. Link dead.

So, I deleted it. I'll repost it whenever one or both websites are no longer broken but I'm just...so over this. What a fucking waste of time and energy even making the god damn thing. Should just half-ass everything, nobody ever notices the difference, anyway.

Furaffinity staff is answering zero questions about the animation situation. If you go to the forums, Luffy just tells you to submit a trouble ticket in the hopes that you'll stop talking for a while.

So I have a question directly for those who contributed to the animation fund - how long before i should bite the bullet and just host it elsewhere? I was trying to wait so I could maximize engagement with it, as I feel linking to an external sight will decimate the number of people who actually view/interact with it as it always does. But it's looking more and more like I don't have much choice if I want to post it anytime soon. I was gonna post it on e621 anyway, even though those people, if you want to call them that, deserve nothing, so I guess I'd just link it from there.

So again - how long before I just do that and eat that engagement loss. And yeah, yeah, I know "You should just post it whenever you feel comfortable, it's your animation, I just wanted to support you" giggle-figgle-gumdrops but seriously, now give me the real answer.

We may not meet again.
