ART BY:
lucca
September 3rd, 2008 was definitely a day that changed my life for the better. It is when I took my very first steps into not giving into all the negative things going on in my life and began my personal journey of coping with my limitations through the arts.
***
In 2006, I became aware of people who, like me, had an interest in diapers and diapered cartoon animals. This was one year after the terrible outcome of telling my, now, ex-wife of my unique interest / fetish of cutesy toons playing about in poofy-padded undergarments.
Learning that I was not alone in having such socially taboo interests gave me hope that I could finally understand why I was the way that I was. Viewing artwork by tacki while reading journals by mjbear really helped me to put the pieces together to see that there really are common events / triggers that make someone a 'Baby Fur'. ([/i]In 2006, I had yet to learn about the Adult Baby / Diaper Lover "ABDL" community. 'Baby Fur' was the first defining term / label I was ever able to find that made me realize that I was not alone in who and what I was as a person.[/i].) It was through discovering other 'Baby Fur' artists, such as friskywoods and :hooligans87:, that I came upon the Deviant Art (DA) page for tavimunk in which lead me to discover 'Fur Affinity' (FA) in 2007.
***
I was too afraid to join FA as a result of how much I still lacked the self-esteem and determination to be my own person. Society, my ex-wife, and other things held me back from allowing myself to associate with the 'Baby Fur' community. This changed when I was fired from my job in August 2008. The hurtful words used to describe me as a person by my former boss and colleagues coupled with the struggles I had as I continued to lose my eyesight, cope with my father passing away two months earlier, and being the best father I could be to a one year old son all came together to drain me of any desire to do anything.
One month after being terminated by my toxic employer who shamed me for my physical disability, I remembered how I had been just visiting FA and how the people I had found on DA were also on 'Fur Affinity'. Feeling I had nothing to lose and everything to gain, I joined the furry site on September 3rd, 2008 as Yosh-E-O. (Fun fact is that I chose this name based on a virtual book you could purchase while playing Neopets. There was a baby book you could get to read to your Neopet that was entitled "Scorch E O". As Yoshi has always been a favorite character of mine, I took the clever book title, merged it with Yoshi, and got Yosh-E-O.)
***
It is impossible to share all of what being a member of FA has done for me over the past 15 years. However, most notably, is how I rekindled my love for writing, learned there was at least one website that I still could use as I went from low vision to being 100% blind, helped me make friends, like nishi and azuredragon, who were there to hold my hand as I became self-accepting of myself and even more respectful of others, and met my Cutie-Patootie boyfriend, lucca.
***
The image above comes from the Drink & Wet Pony, Baby Rainfeather. Baby Rainfeather is a G1 My Little Pony toy whose symbol, which is a blue duck carrying a yellow umbrella that is deflecting three raindrops, came to be how I came to embrace the positive impact of doing all that I could to improve and maintain my mental health so that I could not just be my best, but also pay the kindness of everyone who has helped me to get this far in my life forward by advocating and supporting those who, like I was back in 2008, need only a little 'acceptance', 'understanding', and 'empowerment' to feel they are welcome and belong in those 'communities' they can best express and share how they are more than a label, stereotype, and/or stigma that today's society unfairly judge them for being.
***
Thank you all for 15 amazing years of art, fun, and discovery. I look forward to what we can all do for as long as I am able to find ways to creatively interact with friends both old and new.
Your pal,
---Yosh E. O'ducky ;)

Thanks, Zoom-Zoom! So hard to believe it has been 15 years. Thankfully, when it comes to creativity and the arts, age is irrelevant since our characters and their experiences are timeless.
***
I forget exactly when you and I met in the Fall of 2008. I just know that I found you and, through a few conversations, I learned you were the mastermind behind the "Kazootles Count" page. That totally made my quacky day. :)
***
Since Lucca and I are getting more-and-more settled in and used to working around each other's respective disabilities that make for some interesting communication oopsies, I have been trying to get the rest of my Pocket Dragon collection finalized. (When we FINALLY released them after over 18 years being trapped within their boxes contained within boxes from when my mom sold her house, I found some went missing. Notably, *Sobs* my Zoom-zoom. I hope to get him back ASAP.).

Oh, that Zoom-Zoom, he's always flying away on new adventures! Still my greatest hero after all these years!
And I'll always remember meeting you for the first time, Yosh! I'd seen you around here on FA before but for some reason never had a conversation. And then Tacki drew you a picture and you said "Kazootles!" I knew you were someone I needed to talk to! ^.^

Wowwie, 15 years is a long time. :O Haha I'm glad we're both still on, especially with all of FA's crazy rule things lately. A lot of us wanna stay here, but they do make it tricky. Here's to hoping the 16th and 17th all keep goin' just fine! And one day widdle baby Yosh's FA will be drinking age, huhuh.
<LoL!> I'll have to keep in mind the 'Drinking Age' for when I hit 21 years online. *Ponders while tugging up his droopy diaper* Kazootles! That'll make my real age, *Gulps*, 49! I'll be nearly ranked 'Silver' in chronological age!
***
Another interesting milestone, which would come at 18, is when Yosh could puff-puff on a cigar / cigarette. Perhaps I'll have to take a nod from the classic cartoons and have Yosh mark the milestone by having one of those tobacco pipes that is actually used for blowing bubbles. What do you think?

Haha it can be fun to relate each new big year with lil themes and ideas, at least when they're present!
Next year is 16, Yosh could be riding around in a little plastic play car thing. :3
18 could be the smokey year, sex year, who knows! Haha, funny enough I think I have a thing for the mix of baby furs with bongs since they're so opposite, and yet quite a few babyfurs are into that! Blowing bubbles is nice and safer.
21 we sure know, and who knows after that! :3 Guess we'll find out what fun adventures are up ahead!

*Reaches out to wrap you up in a close and warm hug* Thanks, kaffre. I think I met you at the same time I got to know both 'Berto' and 'Zee-Zee'. It's only fitting as it is getting to know you that helped me to really feel like I had found my place to be myself. It started with Tacki, went to you, Zee-Zee, and Berto, to Winged Ham-Ham, then to Nishi / Oxnard. After that, well, life was good and friendships came super-easy through you helping to onboard me in those early days.
Thank you so very much. I really and truly miss being able to do chats and write stories over on FiM Fiction. It has just become too hard to use my 'Text-To-Speech' software on most web sites. So, to avoid paralyzing myself from doing no interactions with anyone, I have been keeping to those sites that are easiest for me to use and share creativity with.

I still try to use my iPhone to read stories over on FiM Fiction. I think I had come across one that you may have done that, if I recall right, was about Sweetie Belle and rarity. If this sounds right, let me know and I can give you my review through a comment here on FA. :)

Oh yes! That's me alright lol also no worries! I figured as much, I'm just thankful you're still somewhere! Besides everyone's seemed to kind of move on from that place, all the writers i follow are gone now too... you wouldn't be missing much anymore. I had to look back again cause I could've sworn you commented on that one before lol i feel like its been out forever XD i actually started writing it around about 2015
here's the link https://www.fimfiction.net/story/46.....scured-awaking thanks so much for taking the time out to read! I still have this other idea for a story that's been buzzing around in my head the last couple years with no idea for an ending. Heh I'll try to think it up soon

Yep, yep, yep! That story was fun to come across while using Google to find stories to read when I needed an extra dose of padded cuteness to pass the time. (I have been using my iPhone to read stories when I am away from my laptop. Commenting and logging in to sites is a pain in the patootie, but FiM Fiction's feature of showing similar stories proved useful and is how I came across this story of yours about a month ago.).
What I liked about the story was your clever use of Rarity breaking the fourth wall to provide any readers a final warning about what the story contained as she went about diapering Sweetie Belle. It made for a fun visual that added to animating the story in my mind.
Other highlights, to me, were how we got to 'wake up' with Sweetie Belle after she had been put to bed in her special crib by Rarity. Your word choices allowed for the genuine feel of being in Sweetie's mind as she gradually became aware of where she was, what she was doing, what had gotten her to where she was now, and justifying her further adventures as a carefree foal as she admired the mobile that had been crafted for her.
What is most interesting is how Sweetie goes from feeling nervous, to happy, and then feels worried while she wets her diaper. The words that discuss how she can really tell she's caused her pamp to bulge from absorbing her morning piddle on top of how she became more aware of how unlikely it was that she would get away with Rarity changing what, from the start, was just a messy diaper.
The last highlight of the story is how Sweetie becomes awake enough to recall how she came to fill the seat of her diapers. It, to me, was a bittersweet moment as she went on about how she could barely make herself expel waste while on the potty, but seemed to have no issue in making a BM in her diaper while being all comfy-cozy in her foalified fortress of pillows and plushies. For me, her realization at the end shows how, as is for many who like to wear and use their diapers, there is always that lingering shame of finding such an infantile act so easy and/or fun to do. If you're not a baby / foal and have the physical and psychological ability to eliminate waste from your body you, logically, should not find it so easy and/or tempting to intentionally potty your pamps. However, as I know for myself, there is just something about wearing the diaper, feeling how your bodily output changes the internal and external feel of the diaper, and being able to add a onesie, pacifier, shortalls, etc. to the mix to briefly escape from all the pain and sorrow that life's traumas always seem to threaten to keep you eternally trapped in an inescapable pit of anxiety and depression.

Gaaasp OhMiGosh an in depth review!!❤ Thank you Yosh-E~O I will so be using this for inspiration to continue future writings from now! I'm proud you remembered it, I cry ;_;
I could imagine with your reason but omg tell me about it! Lol in my perspective, I've gotten too accustomed to incognito mode only and ever time something goes wrong on my devices, I find myself logging into some 5 sites and more every time something goes wrong and closes all my tabs, this is like, every other day! I do hate it yes.
But anyway, thanks again! I didn't know it was just a month ago you found it, or that you could use Google search to find good stories :o Fanfiction.com is another interesting place i finally started digging into recently. They have a ton of writings on there it's honestly astounding sometimes that so many real people do spend time writing.
But anyways I'm going to clip out this review and try take my time to read the rest when I can :) it's responses like these that warm me up inside when im feeling down.💙 I look forward to it!
BTW if you're interested, one writer who's story that hadn't been updated in a whole year, just got back to me the other day about an update! I haven't stopped to reread it and catch up with it yet either but I did love this one, even helped with 1 chapter!
Here's the story link https://www.fimfiction.net/story/32.....ittle-accident now this is one that's been in the works as long as I can remember loool

It is always my pleasure to let those whose stories I find myself revisiting know why their tales are more than worth my time. I've probably read this one three times and, likely, will read it again when I just need some warm fuzzies that go in the way that allow my imagination to feel how there is far more going on than just the written out story that was shared. (A goal in writing, for me, is to make stories that feel like they are more than just 'Point A' to 'Point B'.)
Your story with Rarity and Sweetie Belle brings the reader in fairly cold, but the whole of the work makes it easy to imagine what had happened before the story started. More importantly is how the story ends with a very believable moment that could go in either a positive, or negative, way. Sweetie Belle seems to be expecting the worst for what she did after all of the effort Rarity put into making that special room for her, but it is possible that rarity will not be as grumpy once the pair get to where Rarity can help her little sister clean up after her overnight oopsie. ([i]Someone reading the story can visualize a whole bunch of possible outcomes that would all be valid and, for me, change based on how I am feeling at the time about myself, my interests, and my level of self-esteem.

Thanks for sharing the story link. I'll send the link to my iPhone e-mail so I can read it when I am not tethered to my computer. :)
