guys i have to get this out or im gonna explode. in my life drawing class we are making our own series and mine is about lobster people, and the whole point of my project is to turn my class into furries--and its working. people relate to my lobsters...someone said they feel like their emotional reality was portrayed truthfully through these lobsters, these kind of ridiculous and funny but so painfully out of place and grotesque figures that you cant help but see yourself in if youve ever experienced being the "weird one". they dont know my secret plan but i am winning.

^this was my piece from last critique and it was received really well. people were like, "hey, thats how i feel."

here's the first piece, inspired by that cathartic scene in I Saw the TV Glow (if you're trans or a furry, or unsure about either of those, you must watch it).

if you saw what was inside of you, in your perception a ridiculous and unexplainable and forbidden version of yourself--would you allow it to breathe? would you take it seriously?

lobsters live for a ridiculously long time in the wild (average 45-50 years). they molt their exoskeletons several times throughout their lives and the process is extremely physically demanding, in fact, it is the most common way for a lobster to die. imagine physically trying to turn yourself inside out and exposing your fleshy, soft and vulnerable insides at the bottom of the ocean. a lot of times they lose their claws during this process, abandoning the part of their body meant to protect them, obeying the natural mechanisms to allow a rebirth and transformation.

people don't take furry art seriously. it's cringe, it's bad, it's unserious. it exists to be mocked & laughed at. with my pieces i am forcing them to take it seriously. i don't leave room for these lobsters to be perceived as a joke. lobsters are a fundamentally un-furry animal, they are insect-like and aren't cute or cool, and that is precisely why i chose them--i wanted to approach them as an outsider, and understand how it is that i've come to grow so attached to an animal that, before this project, i at best thought of as, well, a joke.

being misunderstood is such a deep fear i have. my identity as a furry artist is so commonly treated as an unfortunate choice i made, something that hides my artistic knowledge. a misplaced joke spoken out of turn in a conversation, i'm the kid at the adult table of "real artists." but if i can grab those people, and make them see it as valuable, see that they're allowed to enjoy this and view themselves as something "uncool", something not normal, something closer to what is really inside of them- that's all i want. furry artists are doing something so big and impossibly beautiful that i can't let it go unseen.

starting to suspect that tech bros actually just don’t know what reading is

I know I just reblogged this but I think the really important takeaway here is that this techbro is not genuinely asking “how can we improve fanfiction?” What he’s asking is “how can we tap into this massive market?”

I keep thinking about how many of these chat bots are free—for now. And of course they are! It’s a classic marketing technique when you’re trying to get your foot in the door with a novel product: let folks use it, let them get used to it, then start charging for it. You don’t have to look any further than streaming to see a very recent example of how this happens.

And it’s going to happen with AI.

There’s nothing these assholes love more than making money off of other people’s hard work. But you can’t legally charge for fanfic! So how do you get around that? You charge for a chat bot (which you trained on other people’s fanfic). You can’t charge for the content, but you can charge for the thing that produces the content.

AI is theft, and there are a whooooole lot of people gleefully looking to make a buck off of our hard work.

Don’t use AI, don’t feed AI your favorite fic writers’ and artists’ work, don’t read AI fic, don’t engage with it. And if you do, well, I can’t force you to give a shit about other people, but AI is a paywall being built, brick by brick, between you and the things you love. Stop slathering on the mortar.

Pour one out for a real one.

Reading up on him, he was a pretty cool guy. He was one of the first people to stand up to John Money about his theories of gender development and position that intersex infants should receive surgery and never be told about it using his abuse of David Reimer as ‘proof’, asserting that Money didn’t have the evidence and standing his ground even when Money straight up started screaming at him. And then later he was proven right when he got into contact with David Reimer, not only discovering proof that Money was wrong but also how abusive and horrific Money had been. He then went on to write advocating for intersex and trans rights and to avoid unnecessary procedures on intersex people without full informed consent and that intersex people are part of natural human variation and that we deserve acceptance and not to be treated like a disorder.

A quote I really like from him: ‘Nature loves diversity, society hates it’

poland currently wins the political absurdity level so let me give you a run down of our recent presidential debate(s) from 11th april 2025

I think it's important to add:

The "lesser candidate" who said he's gonna build 6 powerplants in 6 months is a YouTuber who only takes part in it to showcase what a joke it is and often points out that the presidential candidates are promising to do things they can already do since most of them are in the government. He doesn't want to win and often says exaggerated shit just to mess around.

Trzaskowski only invited one of his contrcandidates to a debate and while the counter debate was taking place next by, he was all alone in a studio before he finally said that other candidates can join too. It was roughly two hours prior, hence only a few that were already there could attend.

When Senyszyn asked Nawrocki about his visit to Vatican, she was refering his previous answer where he stated that his first official visit as a president of Poland will be to Vatican (as opposed to other who said things like US or Finland).

aromanticism is everywhere if you're brave enough to see it

i made Vanessa Stockard's cat Kevin in spore [2008]. please look at her paintings of this thing

badly!

here's a gif of Spore Kevin doing the only dance that looks decent for him, and a gif of him shaking vigorously, just for fun. It was made from his walk cycle.

Human Pet Guy is actually just a natural extreme in the evolution of a fetish porn author b/c it's a very well know fact that if you write a lot of fetish porn, you will inevitably end up writing a story that is basically "Fetish World: the World where everyone does my Fetish" and that's all fun and games but if you're a huge nerd (likely) you'll probably end up asking yourself how Fetish World could even be possible when obviously it would be impossible in the current sociopolitical order so now you're walking through all the political and economic changes that would be possible to enable Fetish World and before you know it you've spent way more time on worldbuilding than you have on writing the actual porn. Cybersmith simply takes this one step further. He thought through all the steps needed to make Fetish World possible and then decided those steps made enough sense that he would go out of his way to advocate for the creation of Fetish World in real life which is, and I really cannot emphasize this enough, completely fucking insane. It's such a funny concept honestly like imagine if someone read a bunch of Omegaverse fanfic and then went on Shark Tank to pitch them on bioengineering men who can get ass pregnant

I'm taking this to mean I got him dead to rights
