IT’S SILVER!!! • bodily 22 • he/they/it 🩸
meow. i am emo cat silver and this is where i doodle silly colorful animals with shitty ms paint brushes. i am a fictive alter in @darkfelidae's system & felt brave enough to post my work. welcome :3
READ THE SIGN!!!! ↓↓↓↓
turned off reblogs on my most popular post because tumblr continues to take shit way too seriously. it has been 3 months please find a new hobby
Also here to express joy over seeing your work! You’re one of my fav artists & im super happy to see someone in the sparkle scene. Sparkledogs, Ravefurs, and old furry weirdos are sincerely what raised me/introduced me to the furry fandom as a kid & it sucks so much to see how badly radqueers have inserted themselves into the scene
Because of overexposure to bad ppl like that from a young age, i ended up developing some nasty disorders that will have to follow me the rest of my days. Its wildly uncomfortable to see folks say that none of that stuff matters or affects ppl when i (and many others) are literal proof that that sort of stuff exposed to ppl does affect them
All this said- seeing folks like you around helps ppl like me feel better & heal :,3!! N i super appreciate you
oh, this is so sweet :,,,-| thank you so much. 🩶 like i said in a previous ask i wasn’t aware that the community had been run over by these kinds of users until after i made this blog. im not going to go into that again so i will just say. it sucks. it sucks a lot. i wish it wasn’t the case so i wouldn’t have to go through all this trouble with banners and warnings. but. Well. the world-wide web
on the second part, as someone who gained a part of their trauma from the internet, i can definitely believe it. to be honest, i don’t think virtual trauma (whatever you wish to call it) + internet safety (especially for minors) doesn’t get talked about enough. i hope these subjects can get looked at from a serious perspective a lot more often. they’re a lot more important than people think
Forgot to post these here whoops
I really, really appreciate your stance against rq groups and the like, especially since they permeate the sparkle dog and furry scene like cockroaches. It's to the point where "weirdfur" is a red flag to me by default, which is unfortunate because I like the term.
Too often I'll see like, "I'm weird and I'm happier than you" sentiments that resonate with me deeply as someone who grew up around that sort of early furry artwork and was massively affected by the cringe culture boom of 2016-17. I was also just bullied relentlessly for being autistic, i can't be "normal." Being unapologetically myself and unapologetically cringe is liberating for me
And then I check the OPs blog and it turns out their version of "weird" means "liking children/animals/siblings/dead bodies" and they want that "destigmatized." (For what purpose. Tell me. For What Exact Reason.) And it's like Oh. Okay.
The sigh of relief I let out upon seeing your pinned, lmao.
truth is i was not aware at all that the community surrounding my interest (sparklefur & general y2k furry art) had been run over by these people so badly until i got the reactions i did on my “your repulsion amuses me greatly” post. getting constantly targeted by rads after i told them not to use my art to justify their actions was a real wake up call and the whole mess still has me mentally in pieces…….. your support however keeps me going. so im really thankful to hear voices like yours during this time. it really helps me feel more confident here and more willing to stay. thank you :,,,)
doing this kind of silly art is not only fun and liberating but it also really helps me in healing my inner child. embracing yourself to the fullest by recapturing some of the magic you never got to have is so epic to me & i hope more people get to experience the freedom of being ‘childish’ in adulthood without judgement more often
life is as rough as it is. why torture yourself even further. indulge in your cringe interests. be free
