VR is still good. Gazing at my face last night was incredibly validating...

rrqk sqrrk~

@monsterblue @Oneironott I was trying to talk about tail scutes without saying "undertail", because they sounds even lewder... ...

... oh, I guess I could've said "tail scutes". hm.

It's interesting how I turn up my nose at the objectifying portrayal of women by otaku nerds and a lot of fanservice, but I'm perfectly fine with fawning over non-human creatures and ogling furries in regards to their non-human traits.

Now to be fair, one of these things is part of a broader culture of the obsession over women's bodies. Me being all over tails or pear-shaped dragons or whatever else, is not likely to contribute towards the over-presence of female characters who exist only to be boobs and butt.

On the other hand, for some of us, our furry "characters" are, well, more than just characters. They are ultra personal visual representations of ourselves. Naturally in such cases, some creatures don't want randos getting murry purry over them. Anime artists probably feel the same way if they draw a pretty girl and get a bunch of nerds making creepy comments.

I dunno. I feel like it's somewhat hypocritical to presume myself (or others) to be above the attitudes of otaku/etc just because I don't like the way women get portrayed in media a lot, when there's things that I'm drawn to just as they are. But the issue is sort of different...

@Oneironott Scutes are good. Dragon bellies and the underside of dragon tails are very good... ...

@Oneironott Thump thump sqrrk bwump goes the phantom toy tail~.

I had a dream about Persona 3, only it was a first-person action game with aliens and mind control.

...

It probably wasn't even about Persona 3 as much as some other video game with its blue-haired protagonist. You could leap into the body of an alien enemy and control them, but if you did this you had to be careful you left your body (standing upright) somewhere safe.

I don't remember anything else beyond basic gameplay mechanics.

...

I've been remembering my dreams more lately, but this one is just silly.

@kistaro I definitely feel like I experience more executive dysfunction than decision paralysis, at least when it comes to personal goals. But I feel I can *also* be subject to anxiety fears and obsessive thoughts.

And I'm not entirely sure how I feel about pills anyway. So that puts me in an awkward position.

I previously went to a therapist and she felt I had anxiety feelings and gave me suggestions on how to manage it, but she was also very unaware of the internet and that didn't help given the nature of social media and the anxiety that comes from that. Never mind some awkward conversations about body/identity things in my last session. So if I was to confront this issue again I'd need someone... better...

Consider... pooltoy dragons.
... plushie dragons, too.
... ... or even synth dragons...

@Oneironott Wide tail-base and sleek tails are extremely good.

*vinyl sqrrk creak~...*

@Soreth *further sqrrking!*

Sqrrrk...
