@frameacloud I know there's at least one custom face mask maker around that does snoots, you could look into that? (I don't remember/know the names.)
@VoxSomniator I'm not too sure what these are, though they seem like chemical hazard labels. I dig Possibility.
@socks Raaar.
@Oneironott That otter not be anyone's problem.
@kistaro *sqrrk twitches snoot~*
re: VR stuff
@Oneironott I could try to be around, perhaps...
idle thoughts on discourse, queer culture, social media, etc
Idly thinking about how discourse around Literally Anything is because we're all on the mixing pots of social media.
Take for example queer purity: there could be a community of raunchy queer people, a community of soft uwu queer people, and both should be able to exist. Additionally, neither have the responsibility to be safe spaces for young people to teach them whatever they need, either. There could be a third space specifically for teenagers and kids for that.
Imagine if we were still in small individualised spaces where there was an understanding of the accepted aesthetic of each of those spaces?
Anyway I guess I'm pondering a little about my transhumanist story with robot bodies that have a pooltoy design, that explores body autonomy, disability, and identity, and that story could be weird and raunchy in its own squeaky way and it deserves to be respected by the audience I write it for, and anyone that doesn't vibe with it doesn't have the right to demand it be something else~.
re: VR musings
@Oneironott I'm a huge dragon!
@Oneironott Who wouldn't be a nothlit though~.
... well, I guess if it's hard to choose a morph...
@DarkOverord It extremely fits the Kirby Space aesthetic though~.
@elfi Briefly thought that title said "Millie" and combined the bee theme with Honeybloom and thought "ah, yes, of course".
re: fiction, trauma
@moonbolt I think part of it is stories often are built to serve a purpose, to have a narrative curve and build. Thus stories generally end after all the fighting is over.
Some cases you do have explorations of trauma! But they're generally their own stories and thus begin after the fighting is all over.
Even with my own ideas, the traumas of the characters are things they already have and are triggered by in-story events.
@DarkOverord On the one end, toys with suspiciously magical saliva and throats and all, on the other end, immaculately constructed vinyl maws... but still just vinyl~.
@DarkOverord Being physically incapable of eating sounds like an experience...
Even as I still doubt the label of "dragon" itself, the feel of dragon does seem possibly more me the more that I think about it.
... except I think I've felt the same thing about kitsune and Amaterasu, so, ehhh??
re: extistential nonsense, world disasters/climate change/covid mention
I think the main reason I'm getting these sorts of thoughts lately is that I look at the state of things regarding the apocalyptic fears and anxieties that come with climate change, a pandemic, and political nonsense... and I find myself thinking...
These sure are Interesting Times.
Why are These Times the ones "I" am in?
extistential nonsense, reincarnation
Why am I here?
...
Why am "I" "here"?
Where will "I" be in the next life?
Will I be in a life in the future? Or maybe in the past?
Will I be within the proximity of this life? Or could I be reborn on an entirely different world?
Why am "I" not "someone else"? Or have I "been" someone else? How do I know I'm not someone else "right now", and "I" simply haven't got there yet? Or maybe "I" already have been "someone else"?
If I won't have another life in this reality, where will "I" be? From some outer reality, why did I then choose to be "here", in this life?
An awful lot of "why" questions for things that simply "are".
I'm an artist and something of a game dev living in New Zealand.
I talk about personal things that can get tangentially NSFW. While I wouldn't call this an after-dark account, it's kind of a mishmash personal account and prefer to mingle with people I know or trust.
