This is just my opinion ... why care if your family see's? you are you do what you want who cares what people say or think. It's not like its wrong or illegal. follow my favorite saying .... JUST DO IT. lol seriously who cares your art is good stop letting people get in the way of that. and quite frankly it could add a new style to your art. think about it you could go to new highs and add little "bits" of detail if you wanted to. fuck em do your art whether they see it or not

Usually I think I would be the first to agree with you. xD in actuality I'm an abnormally honest person in regards to how I present myself. Just because I don't care. But with this... I can't trust to their ignorance to laugh it off. I already have a good idea just how tragic their potential ignorance can be when a family member came out as bi. It wasn't so awful or drastic that harm came to anyone or people became separated but a type of void was created between certain people but luckily for them they had a lot of support from others in the family and we've slowly been working through said ignorance. Moreover I've become something of a poster boy- even that sounds like an exaggeratation. But given my history, I've always been the one holding up the good example, almost as if I'm a character they've created and I've played into. I'm just not sure if they are ready to 'loose' that or have that image 'tarnished' by what they don't understand. Family politics is always such a finicky busniss.

Sorry if that was supper vague but I hope I explained it as well as I could. But I would like to say thank you for taking the time to respond to me and for the compliments you've paid to my art.

Fully understandable ^^ i know how you feel about that though i had to go through the ignorance thing with my mate (they think its creepy and disgusting idk y) and my father .... granted some things i do and what not are already unorthodox as it is will not stop pestering me about it and telling me to change. My father is really old fashioned and him finding out about meh bein a furry he said it was worse than me telling him i'm bi. But all in all I do understand the wanted to keep it separate. My FA life is very sacred to me and when life and fa mix at times it does feel like a nuclear holocaust (Between everything said and done i end up with major depression and nono thoughts) I give you props on being able to keep the two separate as its damn near impossible for me with all the nosy people in my life

I'm sorry to hear things have not been easy for you. To a point I can understand people's 'disgust' especially with older generations. social expectation dictates what people are willing to be accepting of, that as well as their own personal understanding of such orthodoxies within their culture. So if all people see if the face value of what fa and all that stuff. I can image that they'd something quite strange even if they are open minded. But any way you may give me props but I salute you for your bravery having been able to tell people and work through what that means. And I kindly wish you all the best.

I understand lol I try to keep RL and FA stuff separate. It's very personal, yeah?

Yeah, my time on fa has quite the personal journey of self exploration. And is something I myself have only really been coming to terms with like it has taken me a long time to understand that there is nothing wrong in what I do. Drawing out fantasies of kinks, which the world over whether they like to talk about it or not has. And it's not like I want to shout it to the world. I understand and value the necessity of privacy. But I'm in a Position where I'm unable to control the 'private' side of my privacy without seeming extremely suspicious, which leads others to become curious and questioning. It just makes for an exhausting balancing act of pseudo espionage and clandestine interactions with the all encompassing reality of real life.

Thank you for taking the time to read thought my post and replying.
