3) the best things about the fandom are; it’s not tied to any one show or movie, it’s a space for a lot of small artists/artisans and really committed hobbyists, and it’s always changing! This is as true now as back in the 90s.
2) at the time I was really nuts about fox anything and searched for fox pictures which got a fair amount of furry stuff. But I was also real prudish at the time, and nearly all clean art of anthro foxes was by my buddy Robin - and that mentioned FurryMUCK so I explored that!
1) I’ve been in furry since 1995. (promptly ages centuries in seconds screaming “what have you done to me” like at the end of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. The kids love that movie right?)

#drawing today, thinking about a fennec fox ‘sona?
gonna say it again; Twitter allows you to make short witty comments, share photos, and stay in touch with friends elsewhere, which is a hugely solid product and which they are constantly trying to up sell. It's like if Coke's marketing focused on how you can use Coke to make red velvet cake, degrease engines, and how they have a corporate booth at football games, etc, everything aside from how you can actually drink Coke.
WWI talk
So I suddenly realized what's up with the Battle of Helm's Deep in the Jackson films. It's a WWI analogy! PJ's interested enough in (especially the NZ experience) of that war that he actually treats the whole thing relatively seriously. If Gondor, seat of empire, is the Britain analogy then logically the allies Gondor denigrates yet desperately needs would be Australia and New Zealand. And "highly mobile cavalry plus people really to young to be in a war trapped in one defensive position" is definitely the ANZAC experience of WWI. Helm's Deep resonates more with PJ than the triumphant chaos of the Pelennor Fields.

Image, fantasy creatures, eye contact, violence
Just one #drawing today, Scythian styled armored cavalryman literally collides with a brutish northern ogre or giant. I really wanted to try drawing a Thracian styled helmet but was more interested in scale armor.
So, I guess this needs to be said, apparently: there is no shame in getting Covid.
A few of my friends and acquaintances who’ve been constantly vigilant and have taken thorough precautions throughout the pandemic have come down with Covid for the first time within the last month or so, and they seem somewhat embarrassed by this. As though they did something wrong and their sickness of proof of this. Please, if you get sick with Covid (or anything else) don’t feel guilt or shame, and don’t feel like you’ve somehow failed.
And please don’t feel you have to hide being sick. Sure there are judgy jerks out there, but fuck those people. A lot of us are more than happy to run an errand or provide any other support we can.
There is nothing shameful about being sick.
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.
