Digital artist who infrequently can scrape enough energy to create stuff. I like to escape with art and draw cute anthros.

  • Or the opposite, edgy extreme trauma without end! Look, my very deep character is named Bloodvein, and everyone they knew and loved was brutally murdered as a child! They were abducted by government agents and forced to become the ultimate killing machine, by making them relive those memories—as the murderer. After years of brutality enacted massacre inside the experimental silo, Bloodvein became the coldest and coolest secret operative ever. One time, their arm was chopped off in a fight, and Bloodvein beat the assailant to death with it. Now they have a cyborg arm, badass.

    First off, furry_irl is a place for posting memes and other relatable images, not a general community to ask questions. I’m removing this, but I recommend reposting it in furry.

    I don’t really know of more furry peertube instances, I mostly know of furry mastodon instances, though those are already well federated with our own instance of pawb.fun. Following the #furry and #furryart tags will help a lot if you aren’t already.












  • Yes exactly, art is simply a desire to express yourself and choosing to do so. A generative model isn’t sapient and cannot express itself, and a person asking something else to create for them in whole cloth isn’t partaking in self expression either. It’d be no different than calling yourself an artist because you commissioned someone to draw for you. In that case though, someone exists who could express something (the human who’s drawing).

    Art is not skill, techniques, or popular reception. It’s the little rhythm you tap on your leg, the silly stickman with a gun you drew as a joke for a friend, the little dance you do when you’re home alone. I worry this generative stuff will further push people from partaking in something so human because it simply “isn’t good enough” and “I can ask something else to make a masterpiece in seconds anyway.” The pretty little picture isn’t what I’m here for, I’m here to share in your self expression—to see you be you! Anything less than that would feel grossly shallow to me.

    People seem to disagree with the way this was said, but I do agree with the premise that I’ve always wanted to do everything I’ve ever done while drunk. I have never once woke up after a night of drinking and felt like my actions weren’t my own desires. If I had, I would never have put another drop of alcohol anywhere near my lips ever again, as that would be severely irresponsible. It’ll lower my inhibitions, decouple me from social anxieties a bit, but that just gives me more spoons to be outwardly social or energetic. I can obviously only speak of my own personal experiences, so I will not make claims about how others handle alcohol, but if I personally felt I wasn’t able to make my own choices while under it’s influence, it’s not a substance I’d ever come back to.


  • All depends on the situation you’re in, though people generally end up needing to work all those hours to survive basically. If you have the privilege to work fewer hours and enjoy your life more, it makes perfect sense you’d want to do so. It is inherently an exploitative system, though it’s more than just the raw number of hours worked too. Personally, part time wasn’t much better than full time for me, because I’d just be scheduled all over the place to patch gaps for full-timers, so I never had any routine consistency. Regardless, I hope things work out for you if you get that position.
