[hypertextdog]

whats with the 196 population of this website and branding their blog in that forcefully anticharismatic kind of way. you know what i mean. username including the word "dumbass." real "i'm such a himbo you guys! someone affirm i'm a himbo or i'm gonna do something big!" type shit. and then the works. profile picture: stolen art of seductively posed boy kisser. blog title: just a dumbass :3. bio: Hi, I'm a stupid fucking freak nobody likes | I like weird niche shit no one cares about like The Legend of Zelda and rock and roll music. | A cis boi ('really? on [tumblr]?!' Yup - and if yall got a problem with it you can eff right off.) | DNI's do nothing, fite me. pinned post: uncaptioned stolen depression meme -- this one specifically -- with tags #196, #rule, etc. and it's all that kind of thing for as far down as you wanna scroll. furry genocide meme in 2024, screenshotted repost of car hammer explosion meme with op's url cropped out, need-post for catboys, among us twerk gif. come on. remember when the reddit guys first came over and the whole meme was acting all "well these redditors aren't my forte, but at least they're not the TWITTER refugees! who SUCK UNEQUIVOCALLY!" about it? ... what the hell were you people talking about. i'd take a hundred twitter users before one of these guys even with all their dream smp type proclivities. they're less pervasive. "but the politics of the twitter user are so distinct from our own!" do you really truly think the twitter brand of puritanism is that distinct from our own. is there something different about it when we villainize fetishy business on our terrain. come on. is there something tasteful and unique about "piss on the poor" type shit when it happens within the domain of "hellsite (affectionate)." i dont think so. i think half of you never made it out of queer-infographic-instagram alive -- torn-off chunks of you in the domain of the toothpaste gay flag accounts with the four or five emoji-coded mods who still to this day keep their 2018 friend group breaking discourse on the public highlights. Omg. just the worst. and you think if you keep posting here you'll get those pieces back? PLEASE. but the reddit guys are worse i do think that.

Social Media Headcanons!

Internet in the Devildom

i refuse to believe that somehow the devildom had technology advanced enough to enable social media right after the great celestial war, much more social media culture so i just kind of. disregard the parts in nightbringer where they mention social media tbh

in line with this i headcanon that the internet culture in the devildom is kind of a bit less updated than the human world's because i wanna think that the humans invented the internet first (because the internet was made for non-evil™ purposes) and a lot of social media in the devildom is patterned after human social media.

the practice of enshittification, while associated with greed, is a human-made practice. the three legged crow group has considered and tried adapting this practice but decided against it because it seems more profitable in the long run for them to give their best services forward because they control practically everything produced in the devildom anyway.

that doesn't mean they didn't try though! they tried to enshittify devilblr because that was steadily becoming the source of good memes and Engagement but it was so hard to monetize so they just let it be.

i also wanna think diavolo, being a good demon prince has introduced some kind of antitrust or regulatory rule to prevent the three legged crow from enshittifying if it ever comes to it (please forgive me for this i havent read deep into if antitrust still works with something the size of the three legged crow but for the sake of headcanoning lets just assume that the socmed situation in the devildom is better than what we have rn)

the blockchain is way less popular in the devildom due to it not being a three legged crow group invention. it was actually mammon's doing, having heard it from some contacts in the human world and recreated it from scratch. it's impressive really that he managed to do that, but it just didn't stick.

Characters' Social Media

the individual devilgrams and fab snap videos we see in-app are actually mostly posted by asmo, who keeps curated accounts for his brothers.

lucifer is a demonbook mom. most of his pictures on the site are of him, lord diavolo, and barbatos hanging out. he also has a linked-in-hell account that he keeps tidy and well-updated.

mammon has a curated devilgram for his pictures and magazine shoot promotions. he also had a twithell that he used to try selling nft collections based on his brothers.

levi is a stan dewitter user for sucre frenzy. he's also a devilblr user since 2012. has a devilcarrd with a really short dni that just says, "dni normies". has a dwitch for his streams and a deviltube for cross-posting. has a devilcord of course, for talking to gaming buddies he's also a devilcord moderator but we dont talk about that, and no hes not that kind of devilcord moderator.

levi is also a manager of sorts for a nonprofit, ao3 equivalent of the devildom called the akumarchive. diavolo is well aware of the existence of the akumarchive and sometimes looks up all sorts of fanfic on there because "the kids are so creative making their own endings and alternative stories!"

satan is most active on book review and media sites (think: thestorygraph and tvtropes) but also has a secret dewitter and mastodemon account for book blogging; he runs a formal blog website for his book reviews and then posts the updates on dewitter and mastodemon. he also has a secreter devilblr account for his fursona, and even more secreter fanfiction.hell and akumarchive accounts for fanfic. (satan wrote my immortal)

satan's also pretty active on devilpedia, contributing research mostly about spells and curses.

satan personally knows the human furries who communicate with the three legged crow to help run the devildom internet.

asmo has every socmed possible and can social media manage like a real socmed manager. fab snap, devilgram, deviltube, and dewitter are his top socmed!

beel has a devilgram for his posting about his workouts, and uses mostly the story feature. he also has a devilbook for posting family pictures and moments <33

belphie was on the emo side of devilblr when it first launched, and he's a devilblr veteran, having been there even before levi! now just uses his devilblr as a status symbol of being one of the first accounts on there. has a sideblog dedicated to heritage posts on the site, and another sideblog for pissing off and arguing with 14 human-year old demons.

belphie also used to have a diespace and devilcities but because theyre now defunct he moved to spacehell and demoncities and still remains mostly active on there. i also saw an hc once about if belphie had his d.d.d. with him in the attic he'd make traumacore edits and now im taking that hc with me to this and he now posts his traumacore edits and pages on his demoncities and spacehell.

also headcanon that satan and belphie wrote a dialuci fanfic on the akumarchive under an alias as a prank but it got so popular it crashed the akumarchive for a moment

diavolo is a demonbook dad! always tagging lucifer in everything and also he's an avid shareposter of Youthful Minion Memes™. has totally read and enjoyed the dialuci fanfic that satan and belphie wrote. no he doesnt know it was them. yes he showed it to lucifer and barbatos. barbatos thought it was cute, lucifer thought it was a huge disgrace. no lucifer doesnt know who wrote it either.

barbatos is a demonbook dad as well, and also runs the official rad demonbook page. occassionally makes cooking tutorials for deviltube as well as "cleaning hacks" and "rat extermination hacks" videos.

solomon has a devilcord server for keeping in touch with the demons he has pacts with. i also just know he's a frequent user of deaddit, and he has a deviltube that he uses to make "study with me!", "learn magic with me!" and "lets cook together (gone wrong!!)" videos. joined devilblr for the shitposts, stayed for the chaotic devilblr culture.

simeon is yet another demonbook dad, and is the source of the Youthful Minion Memes™ that diavolo shares.

luke shares his social media accounts with simeon because he's still a child, but has secret accounts for lurking and following beel and barbatos. uses deviltube for kids mostly.

For my artists who are new to tumblr!

i wanna help you by giving you the basics for posting your art!

TAGGING

tag your art posts!! I mean it! If you want visibility on your art! TAG IT. Some tags hold more weight than others in the fact that people search specific tags for the same thing! Example: a furry tag I feel have worked best for me is sfw furry, but I also tag other ones like furry art, clean furry, anthro, anthro art, furry, etc! sfw furry is one of the first five tags usually on my art post! experimentation with tags will help you figure out which ones work best for you! I know I have my own set of tags I like to look through!

Queuing / Art Dump / Formatting

So some of you will have ALOT of art to post! you CAN choose to dump it all at once, but what I may recommend is to queue it up! It avoids spamming and makes your more visible in the tags! you'll keep popping up at the top of the recently posted in tags so folks who just start browsing dont have to scroll as far down! As for your followers, it seems like you more active! posting everything at once and disappearing will look like you abandon the site every so often. queuing it up or doing little burst rounds every once in awhile makes you look more active on the site! Also if you have a bunch of the same kind of art, say YCH or Icons! Format them nicely! I'm talking about have four of the pieces in one post and queue that up as a post! even if it's similar pieces this can work really well! folks here on tumblr LOVE it when you format thoughtfully! you can make it look very nice or you can make it comically atrocious! making it look nice is the SAFER bet!

Engagement

tumblr has very few algorithms, this ones important bc it's what skyrocketed my own blog: engage. with. other. folks. SERIOUSLY. reblog other's art, leave replies, browse tags, like posts. While tumblr's algorithm is nonexistant on the feed. it does track who you engage with. doing stuff like this will have tumblr recognize your blog and recommend your blog on other blogs it finds similiar. even on tags. ik if you browse the sfw furry tag, mine does show up! and by going to friend's blogs, ill occasionally pop up as on of the "blogs like this one". you dont need to be specific on how you do this other than stay within your interests. actually using the website helps you get off the ground, its algorithms are not fighting against you here.

tumblr is a very different beast from twitter, but fairly straight forward and much friendlier to artists. this is what's worked for me personally. TLDR: To find success in tumblr: tag your posts, spread out your posts, make your posts look nice, and actually engage with other folks here.

hey there!! So. i’ve been a very suppressed person for a long time and now that i’m in my mid 20s im letting myself actually be free and find my niches, ya know. and i know i’m a furry, that’s been obvious for a long time, but now i’m revisiting the otherkin community again…. something that i shoved Very Deep Down when i first found it back in like 2013. and i’m tired of not allowing myself to just Be. i’ve gone through so many layers of the stupid onion that i am. and i just wanna get to the center. but i digress… how do i find information? people say google, but that’s veeeery overwhelming for me. are there any blogs on tumblr or other websites that you recommend? or any followers recommend. im lost and wanna find my people.

this is a very good question, i'm glad you stopped by to ask!

it's been kind of hard to get good information on the otherkin community in the past few years- a lot of the old forums shut down, and those were the big hubs for the community for the longest time. there are some discord servers nowadays but they're pretty spread out and i wouldn't be able to recommend a big server that i can vouch for

i don't really know of any good places online where you can read about nonhuman experiences currently, unfortunately, i wish i had more info for you. there is a therian wiki, but i don't know how accurate or reputable the information is. i'm always down to try to answer nonhumanity related questions in whatever ways i can!

if you have any specific questions, feel free to ask, i wish i could refer you to a specific site or place, i just don' thave anything like that right now. again if anyone has any sites feel free to chip in

[conflitdecanard]

do you have any advice for starting to sell adoptables? i have a lot of character designs im not using, and im not even sure where to start with selling them online

Oouh I will do my best to answer ! :O Beware I will focus on how I sell on Tumblr here as you asked me on Tumblr - some stuff may not apply to other websites but most of the points should apply elsewhere too I would say !

-

But in general, you need some stuff in your description like:

Tell how you wanna be contacted ( pm, comments, email etc depends what you prefer ) - Also add " contact if interested " - People may contact you to ask you questions about the design too or some details; it happens so you may need to be ready !

Tell what kind of way you prefer to get payment and in what currency ( For me, it's paypal and in euros )

You can also say " rb/boost are welcome - You don't have to be interested if you wanna rb to boost or if you enjoy the art " It will help spread your offers and also some people can be unsure about reblogging and not being interested

I would say to add some rules too, just to be sure you are comfortable with how the designs are used like: " name,gender etc is up to the buyer " " you can/cannot resell/trade/gift " " I can hold the design for ( amount of time you prefer ) " " Don't change the design/You can change the design a bit/You can change the design how you want "

I would also recommend putting the price not only in the description but also on the pic of the adopt: To make sure people see it well but be ready to have people ask you how much they are still (￣▽￣ ) It is still a bit like retail on that point haha

Also watermark your adopts and put the social(s) you post them on the pic too ! If it is get shared around, it could help !

-

Another thing I would tell you is to TAG YOUR STUFF

You can look up artists you enjoy/respect to see what they use in their adopts tags

Don't hesitate to tag even colours or what kind of colours they are like pastel Stuff in the design like... there is sunflowers in the design ? Tag sunflowers Tag like... aesthetic too like cottagecore or dark acedemia I would say to tag potential triggers, i do that in case and also sometimes even add " ask to tag " cuz i am not sure i got everything covered

But yes tags really help to have your stuff seen - Tumblr good for that

-

Depends also what kind of design you are making - is it furry ? dnd ? humanoids ? fandom or not ? Tag as best as you can too - if you know artists who do designs like that/you, then look up what they tag these with !

-

I would recommend VERY MUCH to have a TOS too... !! It may sounds unnecessary or tiring to do but I do recommend as people can ask for a refund after getting the design and scam you :(

It never happened to me but I saw too many horrible stories like that happening to other artists to not tell you you should, even if just in case !

-

I think It is enough infos to start with ! I hope I helped even a bit but yeah ! I'm open to answer if you have more questions/need more details ! :'D

[qwizzers]

so i just found your youtube channel like a few minutes ago and I really enjoyed your video talking about different types of social media and your own personal experience/opinions on them because ive been bouncing back and forth between social medias. I personally miss the old twitter and instagram format but ever since instagram has been turned into a reel-obsessed platform it is very difficult to get reach there so i think twitter has been my most safest/casual posting experience for me. i felt like on instagram i had so much pressure to post reels and i never gave in but it was just super frustrating, sometimes really wanting to just completely leave it entirely, but for now i guess im trying to just post more. im not a tumblr user really but i had this tumblr acc ages ago so i decided to log back in just to message here, but i wanted to ask, if theres any way we can talk further abt this privately i would love to go more in depth ! i dont check tumblr often so im not even sure if you will ever answer this haha, or how i would know if you did or not, but i guess a question that also comes to mind is, how do you post without overthinking? i have so much art i make so many doodles and unfinished wips, and people post wips all the time ! and its like, i cannot bring myself to do that either... im scared of someone either tracing over my art/stealing my art /ocs and just im not sure i guess posting wips makes me not want to finish the art, but when i dont post often i often feel pressure to post fully rendered stuff and sometimes ! i just wanna post a cute furry oc with thigh socks is that so much to ask !!!!!!! XD,,, i kind of scare myself out of posting, but how do i make myself more comfortable with posting without worrying? i scare myself from doing anything haha, i WANT to be more active ! and i want to post more oc stuff and even fanart, but i always make excuses like "nah ill do that when i get better, or ill do it when the drawing is finished" and sometimes i dont even post finished sketches or art !!!!!! i will take any suggestions or anything, but im desperate to break this bad habit,,,, and also ! another question is, how do people code their toyhouse? i saw you explain it in the video a bit, and i recently just got my toyhouse to post oc stuff, but im not sure how people code their card.co, and toyhouse so if theres any sort of website or program or anything i can use to do this please let me know ! i really want to decorate my stuff more :3,,, anyways im not sure if you publically post these.... but if i can somehow post my discord somewhere so we can talk further please let me know !

okay, this ask was super sweet and i want to just say thank u bc it was a fun read :3 hopefully if you do see this response - i have a discord if you want to add me and talk, its qwizzers! i have a website (https://qwizz.carrd.co) and you can see all the sites that i use there so if you use any as well you can contact me there!

so my input on avoiding overthinking b4 you post is to start sharing your work in smaller places to build up your confidence! if you're worried about tracing/stealing, i don't want to say that's not a legitimate concern, bc it IS, however i will say it really doesn't happen too often! ive been around for years and i dont think ive...ever had anyone trace me, the most i've seen is heavy referencing and usually if you bring it to their attention, they instantly stop - when this happens i say it's 70% of the time just young kids that don't realize what theyre doing is wrong or didnt realize youd find out. you can also watermark your work! theres nothing wrong with watermarks, even if its just on a sketch! while it cant necessarily guard against tracers, it can guard against blatant theft. you dont necessarily have to post your work in progresses if doing so demotivates you; but you dont have to exclusively post fully rendered art, either. try to get into a habit of making doodles n more simple art in between your big pieces, and get into the swing of posting those! if you feel like you havent posted in a while, just make a quick doodle or something along those lines and share that! you can build up your confidence with posting online in general by starting small - you could start by sharing your art in discord servers or with your friends so you get more confident about sharing your work regularly. "ill do this when i'm good enough" is a SUPER detrimental train of thought...bc there will never be a point where you'll admit to yourself that you feel like you're ready. that's just a part of the artistic progression :') if you have that mindset, you'll ALWAYS have that mindset, and you'll never actually do the projects that you want to! if you think its outside your ability, it probably isnt really, and you should give it a go anyways! even if it doesnt look perfect or turn out exactly how you wanted it to, you'll probably still be happy in the end bc u gave it your best effort :]

heres my bit on toyhouse:

if you know how to code w html, all you have to do is press "edit profile" on a character and you can code directly into the big box field! if you're not seeing that, it has to do with your settings (which i can explain more in depth if need be) if you ARENT familiar w html, thats fine too! you can find a TON of free to use toyhouse code templates, and a lot of them even explain exactly how to use them! basically you can copy and paste their code for free into your character profile, and just change the text so it fits your character :3 i have a favorite folder for all the neat free to use codes i see, here's a link: https://toyhou.se/Qwizz/favorites/79962 *my toyhouse is kind of eyestrainy btw!) carrd is a seperate website: https://carrd.co you can make a carrd for free and its much more straightforward, you basically just drag text boxes/images in and customize the site how youd like :3

[molluskzone-moving]

furry tattoos are always so fascinating to me because i love seeing all that you can do with them. most people just draw the tattoos like fur patterns that have been stickered onto the body without taking into account how that wouldnt really work on fur (which makes sense bc tattoos on skin look cool so it also looks cool to just stick that onto a furry) but i personally really love seeing variety in tattoo applications and thinking about how it would work in real life... what i do personally is that if im designing a world in which all the characters are anthros (there are many ways to do this but ill imagine its something pretty generic for simplicitys sake), i will have a few different kind of "tattoos" that are popular.

the first is literally just bleaching + dying the fur in fun patterns (or just dying it if the character is white or tan to begin with). this would probably be seen as similar to having brightly colored dyed hair in our world, but id imagine its slightly more "extreme" depending on the styles. this is obviously not permanent and it will either fade or shed out. this is one of the more realistic options, as its something we do with our pets in real life! maybe kids and teens too young to have proper tattoos would do this to their fur, along with adults whose jobs prevent them from permanent body modification.

the second is having tattoo parlors specialized for tattooing on naked animals such as sphinxes or xoloitzcuintli (which may or may not actually exist depending on how you build your world and justify domestic dog and cat breed existing but thats a different discussion)... i think they could also probably tattoo other animals if they first shave their fur completely off and only leave skin: maybe punks or people really into body mods keeps parts of or all of their fur shaved off specifically to show off the tattoos. the third option (which is my personal favorite, and also the most unrealistic) is a sort of fantasy tattooing where the tattoo gun is somehow able to inject dye into the fur root and permanently change the color of the fur as it grows in. while this really couldnt happen in real life i love justifying it as something that has somehow been invented in furry societies... id imagine the tattooing procedure would be pretty painful and expensive, but would look very cool. and since this procedure would change the fur colour completely, if the character has long fur they would need to keep the patch of fur where the tattoo is shaved down to keep the design clear (kind of like people who "paint" onto their buzzcuts with hair dye: the dye looks weird if their hair grows longer, even if the dye itself is still in the same design). id imagine there are some people who would keep their entire arms or legs shaved down to show off tattoos, and leave certain parts of their body fur long for aesthetics. im actually unsure as to how realistic this option is, as my "research" (aka googling "is it possible to tattoo a dog) did not yield any results (all the photos and website articles were about either people shaving and dying their dogs fur or saying "YOU SHOULDNT TATTOO A DOG ITS CRUELTY" which is true but also i just wanna know if its *possible*)

the fourth option is also a realistic option, as its something we do in real life: freeze branding on animals with dark fur! people do this to horses and cattle in order to identify them, and the freeze brand makes the hair that grows there permanently white. like the previous option, this one would also require the fur to be shaved or trimmed down to make the design more legible, especially if it was more detailed. id imagine this would be a cheaper and simpler option that the fantasy idea of permanently dying the hair at the root, but its very similar in that it would keep the hair that grows there permanently altered. i think this would be pretty popular due to it being cheaper and quicker than other options. also, if you regret the design you could just dye your fur regularly to make the brand not visible any more. one downside of this method that i could see is that maybe its seen as less special because artists might have a few different brand they use on multiple people: maybe some groups see it as a poser thing. custom designs may be possible, but it would either require the artists to have a few different pieces they would arrange in different positions, or for them to create a custom brand for a specific customer which i imagine would get pretty expensive. also, while i was researching freeze brands for this post i discovered that people have actually attempted freeze brands on all sorts of animals, including sea lions and scaled animals which is very interesting (though the brands last significantly longer on animals with fur compared to fish or animals that shed their skin)

[raindrop-on-a-spiderweb]

I wanna ask 18,19, 24,25, 28,37 and 39!! I'm so excited to hear your answers ❤️

18. Okay, I'm going to go with one from Wayfaring Daughter, most specifically Rosannah's exorcism of Clement Beaufort in the attic. When I first started writing the scene, the exorcism was more pagan and magical–halfway through writing I realized that the ritual wasn't what banished his ghost, but Rosannah's force of will. So I went with something simple she would have been familiar with as a Pentecostal in the early 1900s--The Lord's Prayer--and kept the focus on her.

19. Ever since I was a child I always made up stories in my head, especially at bedtime to help myself go to sleep. I decided around the age of ten or so to start putting them down on paper, in those metal-ringed notebooks you use for homework. At the time I was a very big fan of Redwall, Warriors, etcetera, so I mostly wrote about wolf packs, rats, anthropomorphic animals and such (it's amazing I never turned into a furry). Eventually I started typing them on my family's dinosaur computer, and never looked back.

There are always bumps on the way–I tried publishing my stories on various websites (also doing that still lol), but none of the stories really took off until archiveofourown. Someone who I loathe actually found one of my stories/diary and tried to publish it, and that was a huge violation of my privacy for someone who I very much did not want to be privy to it, and I quit writing for a while after that. Now I'm paranoid as hell when it comes to people I know knowing what I write.

I'm still happily writing and I don't plan to quit for the foreseeable future. Once I get Ragnatela fixed up I'm planning to publish on Amazon, as well as perhaps releasing some of my short stories in an anthology (or separately, I'm not sure yet). I can't deny I feel terrible about taking them offline, as so many people have enjoyed them for free. 😔

24. I put in a decent amount of prep work but try not to go overboard. Prep work mostly consists of notes, sources and one "big idea" I build the story around. I have a lot of unfinished ideas, and if I decide I want to pursue it, I go hard and start researching/really fleshing it out, but if I decide I don't want to write it, then they just stay notes. I find the prep work is often even more fun than actually writing the story, because you can freely play around and experiment with the plot and pick and choose what aspects you want to put in the story, as opposed to when you start writing it and the plot is set in iron.

25. I usually try and make all details relevant to the story, lol!! But not all of them make it in. I'm trying to think… I was about to say "Patience liking Frank Sinatra" but that's actually relevant as Salvatore's resemblance to him is one of reasons why she's attracted to him. Flora being a flapper? If it doesn't pop up in the next few chapters, Blondie had a Cane Corso as a young boy.

28. Linney Belle, I love her character development from being somber and withdrawn to a child hero. She's so vulnerable yet her journey from being mistrustful and abused to finally becoming attached to and loving a mother figure, I find so sweet. She's a rare character whose development goes "up", instead of down like most of the female main characters.

37. Probably along the same lines as people like Samuel Richardson. Not an artist, not The Great Author Of Our Time, but someone with serviceable prose who fills a gap of content that people want. I don't know whether erotica will ever become mainstream, but if it does, they might look upon me in a better light. But I still think they'd think I was a little crazy though, and preoccupied with misandry and rape 😅

39. My readers would probably track down and murder me if I quit writing 🤣 I tend to hate skipping deadlines, and don't like disappointing people.

[papirouge]

I really dont get males that cry gold digger at women looking for rich men while they cry at women for being "immature" for liking other things besides wanting a family like needing financial security. I was young when I thought how nice it would be to have one of my own since I actually love being at home and cooking and cleaning up lmao but I had no money to maintain that life. So I needed an education to get a good job, and God forbid hobbies along the way? Because those are now immature to have? Our only hobby should be securing a man but that's gold digging so thats bad also. 😂 Do guys think all women have millions stashes away to stay at home lol? Or very rich parents with trust funds?

hmm I disagree with the idea that men disdain immature women because from my observation, a certain demography of men LOVE the idea of immature women clinging onto them and emotional dependence. Do you think old fart marrying barely legal girl think they're "mature" ? they'll say "oh but she's mature FOR HER AGE" but they do know such girl don't have the emotion or intellectual maturity of grown women and that's why they pick them up.

That also explain why a certain amount of tradfem love making these corny posts bragging about being unable to make the most basic tasks thinking it makes them cute. They're catering to this specific brand of men wanting child-bride in the body of a woman. That's creepy and sad all around.

Female immaturity is often coupled with sexualization. Men LOVE female immaturity when it comes to sex, and such immaturity is sought after. #teen is the most search item on p0rn websites. Hence the whole fetishization of female virginity (that is shunned and mocked when it comes to men) These men will clown women being into the Sims, but they will love some kawaii Belle Delphine LARPing as a horny childlike anime girl wearing Hello Kitty swimsuit playing with stuffed animals with a dildo shoved into her genitalia.....

But tbh anon, people will always have an opinion over ANYTHING so you might as well live your truth and not expect anyone respecting or understanding it. I myself stated I wouldn't put my health between that hands of a fandomer or a furry and people got outraged, acting like I was stopping them from having their fun, when it's not true.. I was just stating my opinion and wishing I had a restraining order against furries lol

I already said how ridiculous it was to look down of hypergamist/women wanting to marry rich, only to turn around and mock women in struggle relationships because "they should've chosen better". We can never win with these people, anon. So you might as well do what you wanna do and not seeking for anyone's approval or understanding of whatever you do :)

4: “….Did you just sniff me?”

(yes this was originally an ask on here. no i cannot find it so here we are!! crossposting BACK on tumblr!! you will see this behavior again. plus im crossposting anything that was originally an ask for the sake of ease)

You're walking in the woods. There's no one around and your phone is dead. Out of the corner of your eye you spot him...

Spamton G. Spamton.

He's following you, about thirty feet back. He gets down on all fours and breaks into a sprint. He's gaining on you!

You don't change your pace. You continue walking, calmly, as he catches up to you. He can smell fear.

He tugs at your cape, and you stop and turn towards him.

"Hey kid, you look like you could use a bit of [[hyperlink blocked]]!! You sure do wanna be a [[BIG SHOT]], don't you? Just a bit of [[KROMER]] is all it would cost..."

You shake your head. [[Hyperlink blocked]] doesn't seem like a particularly safe investment at the moment, not with all those bitcoins and dogecoins and NFT furries and everything else on the Internet these days. Not that you don't trust Spamton, of course, but the digital economy's in shambles nowadays!

"Wow, you sure do drive a hard bargain! Tell you what, I've got a specil deal for [[soapy lads]] like yourself! I've got the [[hyperlink blocked]], and I'll even throw in some [[moss]] for absolutely [[3.99]]!"

Did he say moss? Moss? Delicious moss. There's only one thing to do now that delicious moss is on the table.

You dig for your pouch of Kromer. You'd like the [[hyperlink blocked]], too, but you're really paying for the moss. It's fulfilling. You can almost taste it now...

Wait. What if he doesn't have it? Not that you don't trust Spamton, of course! You just know that he can be... forgetful, sometimes. You can't just waste your precious Kromer if he forgot that he doesn't have moss!

There's only one thing for you to do. You lean towards him, and take a deep inhale.

"... Did you just sniff me?"

You nod at him, and think on the scents that you caught. Garbage, of course; the smell of old plastic, which you suspect to be Spamton himself; the smell of metal, which must be all the Kromer he has in his pockets from his job as a very successful salesman; and then, very very faintly, beneath it all, is the unmistakable smell of fresh moss.

You hand over the Kromer at the agreed upon price. He gives you your moss, and then, "Take out your [[cellular device]] so that I may transfer the [[hyperlink blocked]]!!"

You take your phone out, and he sends you the [[hyperlink blocked]]. When you click on it, you're taken to some kind of banking app.

Apparently Spamton just sold you some kind of cryptocurrency. God damn it, you'd thought he was good at this stuff.

You look up from your phone to look Spamton in the eye, as you give him your best glare. He looks sufficiently cowed.

"Yes, I know your opinions on [[online currency unregulated by any sort of governmental body, popularized initially by Bitcoin]], and how you think it's a [[foolish trick]]. However! [[Hyperlink blocked]] is the most [[orange]] of all cryptos on [[bird website]] right now! I have it on good faith that [[elongated muskrat]] is going to say something good about it! Then you'll be a real [[BIG SHOT]]!!!!!!"

You sigh. Another good man, lost to the cryptobros on twitter dot com. You walk away from Spamton in shame.

[leadendeath]

uh. so i've been thinking about this for a while, right? and it's Now that i've decided to talk about it, as this is tumblr, the "weird* kinds of attraction" website

it's not a term i apply to myself/label myself with, but i love the term "wtfromantic/sexual". because hell yea dude, wtf IS how i experience attraction.

there's this one artist who i have like... a ~creative crush~ on. the fandom we're in knows them, and their works are beloved.

now, this isn't art style envy (though it is a great art style), nor some kind of? artistic success envy?? (everybody's different yknow success isnt real bro it doesnt matter lol)

it is absolutely something else.

they inspire me so much. they make me wanna become a better artist so that i can show them (they know i exist and like what i do too! i'm not being some kind of STARING FROM A DISTANCE ಠ_ಠ creeper lmao... i have actually had that happen to me before, and it would be inappropriate and wrong feeling.) and as i just said it's more than "wow you are other artist das good i like u now" and due to my inability to distinguish between different types of feelings, all my brain can say about it is: "well yeah there's that^, but also if you liked me back? well that'd just be swell :}"

i care a lot about them (im low empathy </3 so when i feel this way, it's significant yknow?). we like the same kind of things. theyre from the same country as me

(i hope so much that this part doesnt sound weird- it's significant due to: my country's really kinda small if you think about it and it's kinda rare to see someone from outside the US. to give it some perspective: i've never got a dnation/cmmission from anyone who uses my same currency from my same country lmao) (hoooly shit i just type in "how many englands fit in america" and i knew it was a lot but. look. and this is the UK! i coloured Actually England in green to further hilight how small where i'm at is!)

also. the last person i was ~involved with~ -over the internet, not irl- was in one of the states. so the thought of someone i like actually being not thousands of miles and expensive flights (wouldve been worth it 100% but im poor and disabled yknow) away? that's nice.

woah big tangent. u kno me

on the subject of the previous person... i really don't wanna say it and i've never wanted to say it but he was too neurotypical. (**he was not normal at all because we're both furries- need i say more!? you know what i mean.) but it kinda brought it home for me, the same thought i think about myself so often: "oh. oh no i can't subject you or anyone else to my mental illness." even though i was deliriously happy with him which. hurts like nothing else. i NEED the fellow major depressive communication. i NEED the this:

^just found that pic look how good it is

also omg look at these colours of the wtfromantic also known as quoiromantic flag it RULES

its freakin. neon grean

* =by weird i did not mean "ew weird abnormal you must have something wrong with you ://" kind of weird! i mean like unusual. wanted to clarify so to not cause offense i hope; fellow aroace spectrum people who experience attractions in a way that is considered outside the norm are great <3

[crossfoxbuns]

I’m in the midst of reinventing how I deal with social media.

Right now I got 3 social media accounts. (I don’t count chat apps since they aren’t “one-to-public” kind of things) I’ve got this tumblr account, a mastodon/fediverse, and a bluesky. And none of them have been all that satisfying to use, both as a reader and as a poster. (Mostly as a reader. I don’t wanna brag, but my posts have been read by at LEAST seven people worldwide.)

So I’ve been rethinking. And it comes down to posting certain things on certain accounts, and being deliberate about what is on my feed in each place. Here’s what I’ve got so far.

Bluesky

This is the place where the people I actually, personally know are. So I’m going to keep it that way. I’ll pare back who I’m following to just be friends. I’ll interact with them and post stuff that is a bit more personal, but okay for the public to see. Bluesky ain’t private after all.

Mastodon

The server I’m on and contribute to is focused toward furry technical engineers. As such I’ll probably keep it to that - that is to say, mostly work stuff or stuff a technical crowd would find interesting. I’ll trim down my feed to include that sort of thing to match. By trimming that list and by taking more advantage of mastodon’s awesome feed control I can get a feed full of techno-juiciness without the political, doomscroll-y stuff that’s also pretty common there.

In paring down the bluesky and mastodon feeds it means unfollowing a lot of artists and creators that I do actually want to keep up with. There’s an idea for that though - later

Tumblr

Tumblr’s in a weird place. It’s the old kid on the block but also somehow the freshest? The big thing that Tumblr has going for it out of these three is that there’s no real limit on the posts. I can ramble.

I like rambling.

So that’s why you’re seeing this post here. I got the room to express a whole idea, something I can’t do with bluesky’s 200-something characters or mastodon’s 1000-ish characters. (And that’s after using a forked version of mastodon that lets you up the limit from the usual 500)

Long form posts will go here, on Ye Olde Blog Platform. I think there will be more ways of defining what gets posted here, but I don’t know what that is yet, since I just started. I’ll figure this out as I go. As for the feed here I’m kinda ignoring it honestly. The idea eventually is to automate a thing to grab the posts from this blog (and my other socials if I can figure it out) and drop them into a big repository of “things I posted online”. Then I can use that repo when I eventually redo my personal website. Why build myself a CMS when every other platform already has, and with a way I can share my stuff built-in?

Let the corpos do the coding and heavy lifting, I’ll just nab my content as I go and keep it in my little box. :3

RSS - Really Still Something

Yeah, RSS ain’t dead yet. Oddly enough, it’s more alive than ever! Every tumblr blog has a feed. Same with every WordPress blog, every mastodon account, and oh, how about EVERY PODCAST IN EXISTENCE.

RSS is going nowhere. Which is why my main reading feed of choice isn’t any of these socials, it’s my dang RSS reader. Almost a hundred webcomics, and almost a thousand more blogs, artists, news sources, YouTube channels (yup they got RSS too), and more, all sorted into different feed flavors, ready for me to read through, chronologically, without ads or scripts that slow the site down, whenever.

That is where the creators I’m no longer following on socials went. Somewhere where it’s impossible for them to get lost in the feed, because the little badge will nag at me that there’s something to read until I’ve seen everything. No algorithm to satiate, no firehose to get drowned in.

The downside of course is that if you’re an artist who doesn’t post on anywhere with an RSS (looking at you, FA), then I can’t see you. Sorry. There’s feeds for like almost everything out there, and if you’re only on FurAffinity and Twitter and that’s it, then I can’t help you, sorry.

Maybe that’s another post for the future. Some of these service’s RSS feeds are pretty well hidden, but they’re there. A post for a later date, though. This one has dragged on enough.

That’s what my social media use kinda looks like at the moment. I post and interact lightly but deliberately, though most of my reading/following is done over RSS.

Enjoyed the TED talk? There’s plenty more where that came from. Leave a note or a blaze or whatever it is tumblr does nowadays. I don’t mind shouting into the void, it’s pretty therapeutic, but it is nice to be heard now and then, especially with word counts like this. Anyway, until the next one!~

For my artists who are new to tumblr!

i wanna help you by giving you the basics for posting your art!

TAGGING

tag your art posts!! I mean it! If you want visibility on your art! TAG IT. Some tags hold more weight than others in the fact that people search specific tags for the same thing! Example: a furry tag I feel have worked best for me is sfw furry, but I also tag other ones like furry art, clean furry, anthro, anthro art, furry, etc! sfw furry is one of the first five tags usually on my art post! experimentation with tags will help you figure out which ones work best for you! I know I have my own set of tags I like to look through!

Queuing / Art Dump / Formatting

So some of you will have ALOT of art to post! you CAN choose to dump it all at once, but what I may recommend is to queue it up! It avoids spamming and makes your more visible in the tags! you'll keep popping up at the top of the recently posted in tags so folks who just start browsing dont have to scroll as far down! As for your followers, it seems like you more active! posting everything at once and disappearing will look like you abandon the site every so often. queuing it up or doing little burst rounds every once in awhile makes you look more active on the site! Also if you have a bunch of the same kind of art, say YCH or Icons! Format them nicely! I'm talking about have four of the pieces in one post and queue that up as a post! even if it's similar pieces this can work really well! folks here on tumblr LOVE it when you format thoughtfully! you can make it look very nice or you can make it comically atrocious! making it look nice is the SAFER bet!

Engagement

tumblr has very few algorithms, this ones important bc it's what skyrocketed my own blog: engage. with. other. folks. SERIOUSLY. reblog other's art, leave replies, browse tags, like posts. While tumblr's algorithm is nonexistant on the feed. it does track who you engage with. doing stuff like this will have tumblr recognize your blog and recommend your blog on other blogs it finds similiar. even on tags. ik if you browse the sfw furry tag, mine does show up! and by going to friend's blogs, ill occasionally pop up as on of the "blogs like this one". you dont need to be specific on how you do this other than stay within your interests. actually using the website helps you get off the ground, its algorithms are not fighting against you here.

tumblr is a very different beast from twitter, but fairly straight forward and much friendlier to artists. this is what's worked for me personally. TLDR: To find success in tumblr: tag your posts, spread out your posts, make your posts look nice, and actually engage with other folks here.

The New Sot Times - Oct '23 - What's up?

Hi!

Hey since you're here, October 28th is Creature_Unknown's birthday. Make a note of this!

What's up? Art is going well. I'm trying new things, and I'm happy that my art is going in a new direction. There's more great stuff coming up next! The new art I want to make is going involve other things I enjoy beyond kink artwork and the fetishes I enjoy.

Is kink artwork going away? No. Quite the opposite, actually. My goal is making kink art that is even more whacky, and provided with even less context than before. I find this way of expressing myself much more interesting nowadays.

Why do I want to do that? The answer is a little complicated. I don't have as much to say online these days. I enjoyed twitter, but I don't really anymore. It's become very clunky. Being active on twitter for several years helped me learn that I enjoy sharing art above all else. The element of surprise in what I share next is lots of fun too! Nowadays I'm just exploring the web and taking in new art most of the time. So I'm learning to make art that speaks for itself too. I'm really excited to go in this direction. So-- going back-- the kink artwork I draw is already pretty niche. Now I wanna take it a step further, make even more goofy stuff, and not explain myself further.

Since I want to share even more artwork with everybody, I'm retracing my steps a little bit. There's a lot of gaps to fill on my other galleries and platforms. I will be posting my artwork from 2019 up to today across my platforms to fill in these missing gaps. Uploads will be a mix between old and new for as long as it takes to get through all of this stuff. Enjoy!

I'm also looking into building up my own website soon. I would like to work with anybody capable within the furry community to help me make it, and I'm willing to pay for your work. Send me a note through FA if you're interested.

If you want to see all of my artwork in chronological order, I have an artpack of all my work from the past ten years! I put a lot of work into it, and it's always a great help when someone picks up a copy. There is also a cheaper option for my sequences from that same timespan.

Just wanna see my new art? Go to my TELEGRAM channel: SOTBOX Art usually shows up on TUES / THURS / SAT

Want to see new artwork even earlier, along with many other sketches and larger works in progress? Pledge to my SCRAPBOOK Art will usually be posted on MON / WED / FRI

After that, please check here on FA or DA. For general social media feeds-- TUMBLR BLOG / BLUESKY / TWITTER

Want to see me post my artwork elsewhere? Lemme know.

Think that's about it. Have a nice day!

Yeah, we've been here before. Just like clowns and wizards before, Dave just can't get on board with all his family's weird interests. 

I think Dave has fair reason to actually hate the interest in question, though. It’d be like if your brother kept his fursuits around the house. 

No, not those ones. Those ones are fine. I mean the other kind.

I kinda wanna play thisOH MY GOD WHAT'S THAT

Ya I'm fully with Dave here. Let's just get this beta and go.

Oh what fresh hell. He really does look like... well, call me a stan if you want, but

I hate that either bro is hiding off panel to mess with Dave, or the puppet is moving itself. I particularly hate that this thing has prototyping target written all over it. In big bold letters. We’re doing this, aren’t we?

Of course his icon would have Kamina's shades.

This is Web 3.0!

The fact that he's got the puppet Wikipedia article bookmarked actually unnerves me more than the puppet porn forum.

And what's this I spy?

Another one of your BRO's many ironic websites. The difference here is he rakes in thousands of dollars a month through this enterprise. SMUPPETS are a multi-billion dollar a year enterprise, and it's awfully hard to resist taking a firm squeeze from the plump udder of that cash cow.

Which, judging by the state of his apartment, goes right back into the puppets. Considering how lucrative, say, furry art commissions are, I'm surprised he's not making more.

The glint on Little Cal’s eyes is literally the highest quality image in the comic so far. This author really knows their stuff. This thing is haunting.

You are sort of starting to flip the fuck out.

Yup. And what about Dave?
