why is it always midnight on workdays i feel like going into 200%-focused creative-mode?

maybe i need to host my own munch?

that way at least the local people who are kinky know about us... that would probably be an Extremely Good first step

basically, i'm pretty well known here, and i don't know of anyone who dislikes me. maybe i can use that to shift perceptions...at least locally..!

i talked to some others and i think there is probably a lot i can do to help our case

this is a world where watersports are normal
this is a world where age play is cool

but diapers without either of those things are strange?

there's nothing harmful about them, they are technically sfw, they are passive, and a large portion of the population wears them

it's also a thing most people seem to be fine with after they know about it, but the initial reactions are Just Bad

we aren't bad, we're just weird, we're just human

i wonder how i can help our case here..?

i'm pretty good with people irl, but it's really something when a certain kink is jarring for people at a kink event

i mean, i managed to turn it around pretty quickly, but those first few moments were unmistakable

this is the second time in two days where i seem to have stuck out among all other kinks in a Not Good Way--i wonder if there is a way i can be honest about my weird without that?

part of me hopes diapers become common enough so we at least have some visibility

i went to another munch on fetlife and had some pretty good conversations with people

this was cool

partway into one conversation, we started mentioning our our kinks. everyone was cool with everything said--but when it got to me and i said "diapers", the rest of the group just...stopped talking

this wasn't so cool

it seems to have worked out in the end though because most of them wanted to friend me on The Internet™ afterwards

but...that initial reaction was jarring

@Nystre hee...

i knew you wouldn't regret it..! ^^

@Nystre awoo!

@Nystre oh no! maybe it needs a reload..?

@Nystre it's not suuuper-uncommon, but the fact it was trending on the popular bird website definitely gave it a boost

@Nystre oh! i just remembered! in settings, change your language to "Awoo!!"

you won't regret it..!

@Nystre i guess a good way to get a sense for what the instance operates like is to watch the local timeline a bit

though i've interacted with a lot of the admins here and didn't have any problems, so it might just all be in my head

but even so, i'll still keep anything else behind a cw, because consent rules and stuff...

i guess my personal differentiation is that my avatar is how i am irl, but i also probably wouldn't show everyone the things I draw irl

@Nystre tbh, i'm not sure

while my avatar is this, i've been keeping everything else diaper-related behind a "fetish" cw

and actually, even though i do that, and even though i talk about diapers a bunch, a lot of people seem to click through and fav things, even with my meager audience

since cws are used here so often, it doesn't seem to make the stuff behind it second-class

@Nystre oh yeah, and awoo.space has been super-cool so far

i kinda started fresh here a little while ago with no links to past-me, and just kinda stalked the local timeline

turns out, you can talk about pretty much anything here as long as you use content warnings if you think it might bug someone

i mean, i'm still weird, but it seems to have affected me...uhh, pretty much not at all--and that's mega-cool!

@Nystre oh totes..!

i only recently started doing that (like, within the last month) and it's been incredibly cathartic

@Nystre hee, thanks! (and ditto!)

i followed you only recently, but that was because i stopped being so intimidated with the possibility of people knowing i had some secrets

@Nystre​ huh! nice to see you in the local timeline here!

welcome..!

@AdalwinAmillion i would die

...

but not of alcohol poisoning

@BinaryVixen899 wait

did something bad happen on the popular bird website again?

@synthifawkes@cybre.space you have successfully caused me to hear that sound effect in my mind

@AdalwinAmillion it's true!

digimon didn't really have much to do with pokemon--it was more like a "boy version of tamagotchi"
