thanks to user sygg, i've been informed that FurAffinity is legitimately working to repair relations and good faith with the abdl and babyfur community. link here to a journal entry by staff explaining this, and an artist i respect weighing in with some good they've done.

i'd like to express my deepest thanks to all who've contributed to this change, be it the staff who have heard us, of the members of the community who have made this known.

in particular, i'd like to thank Sciggles, who has not only shown a willingness to understand us, but has legitimately come to our defense.

i'll be pinning this entry, so for anyone new, i'd like to share the significance of this for me.





as a kid, i wet the bed. and had to wear diapers every night.

for some, the shame and embarrassment of that can leave them with a negetive connotation to diapers. but for me, wearing such soft cozy undies every night, hearing the pleasant crinkle as i rustled beneath my bedsheets, i felt a sense of comfort wearing them.

and when i woke up wet the next morning, the feeling of soaked padding was the first thing i'd notice.

where some might find shame, i found curiosity. my body was doing things without my say, just naturally letting go. with diapers, it was no issue. just change out and wipe up and i could move on with my school day.

but not only that, my body was doing this IN SPITE of my potty training. the thing that everyone is expected to learn from early childhood, and then keep with them for life. a fundamental rule, more important even than kindness. kindness important for socializing, yes, but people ignore that all the time. you NEVER hear of a friend just... ignoring potty training.

and yet here i was, unable to stop myself. in the blissful rest of sleep, my body just had no desire to resist the urge.

doesn't that sound kinda thrilling?

just... breaking this number one rule of life. even if it was through no control of your own, the fact that this rule CAN be broken, the possibility... it was tantilizing.

what would life be like if i COULD just wear diapers? what if i enjoyed doing so? what if i REALLY enjoyed it?

soon enough, i was sneaking diaper packs out of my closet, or stuffing bedsheets down my undies to simulate thickness, watching cartoons with characters getting diapered and feeling envy to the deepest cores of my soul.



FurAffinity was a safe haven for me since my youth, back when i ran a secret account logged into daily in incogneto tabs. seeking solidarity for my particular interests.

i always felt alone with my fixation, isolated in a taboo that seemed universally stood against.

but on FurAffinity, i found countless artists who loved diapers as much as i did. in their works, i felt truly seen, truly understood.

all my deepest fantasies were diaper related. i didnt fawn over guys, girls, aliens, or any of my favorite fictional characters. but i LOVED anyone wearing thick crinkly diapers.

i'd later prove to be on the Asexual/Aromantic spectrum. bodies grossed me out, they always have and always will. i dont like seeing people naked, and i dont understand traditional standards of beauty.

but when i and someone i know share a fixation with diapers? the potential for a full, a fulfilling relationship presents itself.



fast forward to today. :3 i'm in love, i'm escaping the deep south, i'm about to start the next chapter of my life, and i've found people who understand me like i understand them.

^u^ and now? i'm convinced 2025 is gonna be my year.

with my escape finally here, with the love and comfort i'm recieving, with security of being in a more welcoming state where i can be openly queer and face the world with pride, AND with my alltime favorite site once again proving to be a good home for us... i somehow have hope again.

idk what will happen, now that that orange has won office. but maybe, just maybe, i'll have fun this year.

:3 and hey! thats how i started my book!

Joys was inspired by the lasting friendships i made online during the Covid 19 Pandemic. the world felt like it was ending around me, but i was happier then than i had ever been. because i had found the friends i needed all my life.

>:3 so fuck it. life's too short for misery, i will MAKE this my year!!!!

^u^ so thank you, everyone.

:3 expect more posts in the future, this page is still alive!!!
