oh wow, she says such a kind thing (re; not my art)

Within 4 hours I; was feeling relatively good about some progress, fell asleep for an hour, woke up in a huge depressive/anxious spiral about where I haven't made progress, and with a friend around for perspective, stepped myself back from that depressive/anxious spike.
I think it's time to table future concerns in favor of some more sleep.
movie quotes, drug reference
two thumpers are planted, the worm may not rise for the first, he will rise for the second. Do not get too close, the sand will engulf you. SSSSUUUCK BLBBL BBBL BBBL Remember when the worm approaches you must be utterly still, and close enough to plant the hook firmly under a ring segment. SSSUUUUCK koff koff koff. Wait till the head of the worm passes, then go. Anyone wanna get tacos?

Thing about Darrin is, he was very much the stereotypical huge fencing instructor. Stereotypical Asatruar, Klingon cosplayer, poly dude. Hell he could have WRITTEN the stereotypes. But see, I didn’t know him in those roles; I knew him as an incredibly competent drummer and techie who smoked like industrial parts of Pittsburgh. If you only knew one facet of him he was still larger than life. He did so much in his life, and I was lucky to know him briefly.
furry story thoughts
So I want to go someplace other than violence, more slice-of-life maybe; and here, too, my storytelling skills don't quite make it, or at least not yet.
furry story thoughts
If all you ever do with your microwave is zap popcorn, microwave popcorn is awesome and you're still not really getting the most of your microwave.
I'd love to use furry art to make even brief stories about other things; raves, bookstores, hikes, etc.
I'm great with rakshasas and gnolls and weresharks beating the everliving bejeebers out of each other as fantasy, but the moment they're tiger, hyena and shark anthros, it feels off somehow, like fist fights at a rave.

The comic thing connects to more "I don't know where I'm going in furry."
Even during the tiny stint of time in the nineties that I was loosely a Burned Fur (it took nothing for me to give up on it) I still felt There's Not Enough Non-Sexual Stuff in Fandom, rather than There's Too Much Sex. Furry can be a lot more sex-positive than a lot of mainstream porn; furry porn is largely a good thing (though I worry some attitudes are damaging and will lead to people getting hurt).
Europol +, furry fandom
Good news from our French comrades; the NNDL in Nantes has been cancelled. It has taken a decade of protest and hardship. Naturally as an American I heard about it today and thanks to someone posting art on FurAffinity.
Do I join an antifafurs group on FA, when I worry any open declaration of being antifa is basically a sting operation?
*sigh* just again, admiring people who do pornographic comics in furry, and come up with both good art and fun stories. I have my own weird issues about sex, and sex in furry art, and it's difficult for me to write a sense of fun, a sense of humor - I know I couldn't make a porny comic and make it one of the *good* ones.
my brand is that theoretically I post art, but in actuality you get a batch of random stressed out talk and song lyrics in all caps, occasionally I obsess about dinosaurs, and if someone posts a cute animal picture I respond to it with OMG OMG OMG and li'l hearts.
So I gotta admit it's definitely *easy* to be on-brand.
dino damage
Y'know.
If T. rex WERE an obligate scavenger like Horner thinks, then there should be megafauna remains with obvious bite marks or found in association with titanosaurs and dromaeosaurs which couldn't tackle something that big (like the big hyaenids tied to megafauna later, or the way ravens basically call wolves over to open up prey for them).
There are hadrosaurid and ceratopsian remains with bite marks but I can't find anything suggesting these guys ever ate titanosaurs.
also the photo of Brixton in the rain with "CLAPHAM'S THAT WAY YOU 2D FLAT WHITE COLONIALIST YUPPY WANKER" painted on a bridge has inspired playing the English national anthem this morning.
Lots of random gunk, but some drawings and cooking talk too. Obsesses about DnD and related topics. Left-leaning/profoundly frustrated politics. Black lives matter; trans rights are human rights.
