I sometimes forget that I have fursona
Check out this incredible comm of my sona I got recently
THIS IS HEATTT
Hi hhello this is my suit of my character Syrus!!
Hey im just gonna ask this with no hope of ever seeing this guys art again but
There was this artist i used to look at on instagram that had this character (i think its name was melvin) he was like a white fox or something, a lot of this guys art was super gory. There was a lot of gore involved, where the character would go and kill a shit tone of people and fight something and come back with nothing but his skeleton still intact because it was like metalic, and there was a lot of glare and shine and highlights on anything metalic or bloody and all of the dialogue was never really that serious, always lighthearted. Ima be honest every post looked super fckn cool and badass
I cannot find this guy for the life of me so im just teaching out to anyone who might know because i really wanna see his art again T T
Omg thats so sick!
Have you checked Furaffinity?
thank u!!
I luvvvv bunnies
Art I got recently looks absolutely adorbs
Out of all my Sona's Aurora will always be my favorite for sure given he's my first one n I made him like 6 years ago :3
Oh no honestly i totally forgot that existed cause i never use it lmao
Ill do that ig
I thought fur affinity was down after it's owner passed
It went down for a little bit cause some horrible hacked it but it's back up now
passed?
passed away??
A furry being a pos!?!? Shock and awe
?
Got an absolute banger $8 icon commission
Yooooooo!!!!!
I should draw my fursona when I get home. Made that reference sheet for a reason
im too lazy to finish my ref sheet
Low-key me too but I also lost my stylus at home
Who did this art?
dunno if i need to spoiler her cuz shes just got undergarments on (not naked tho😭)but i made her while listening to ignore the vore
i want 2 draw more of her
I wish I could tell you, haven't found the artist in years.
Fursuit wip 💔💔
the silly
Finally done!
Dropping my designs here before I Drop Off the Face of this Server again👀
THESE ARE SO SICK
thank yiou👀
do owlins count as furries i hope they do this is a dope dnd character i made for my friend
yes👀
Peak
Redraw of a redraw
Someone make your fursona with that insert cheesy bread shirt
theres are so cute i should do this

I love this image
Sketch I did of my fursona
Actually insane btw. The colors and textures are so pretty <3333
thank u!!
these r all so cute
Real shit also nice work!
i liek doodling for my palz :3
Hey it's me your pal
fack
Some bullshit I made on ibis when I got bored. Do note that it was like 11pm
Someone delete this app from my electronics
hey! i need to work on my chibi drawings, so if anyone wants a doodle of their character in this style (for free!!) ping me with a ref >:3
👁️ ❓ @tough river
my ref is unfinished but my sona is pretty plain so hopefully this works
fyi the markings are just normal stripes i just have the fur all spiky bc of stylization and its feet are just black
🫡 im making dinner rn but i will start asap
sea urchin perhaps if you're up to it..
@tranquil mauve okay question are the purple bits on the hands blood or markings?
sorry for very late reply i was at work today but its just hair dye its optional
@tranquil mauve not my best work i feel but yk
i am so sorry i cannot draw clothes or do anything other than like... mammalian furries 😭 I WOULD IF I COULD
NO ITS OKAY I GET IT sometimes i feel like they r a little too like humanoid to really be considered a fur sona anyway
aquatic animals r in that like weird middle ground
Just made this sketch I really like not sure if I dare make it a full but oh welllll
Someone should draw an anthro version of Mark Otherman called Mark Otherkin
Or Mark Otterman
oh i forgot to post this here
AAAAAH I love how u did the eyelashes huge shoutout
got home from work a few days ago n there was cold beer in the fridge.. he,l yess dude
This is what I live for
Sketches of my fursona 🔥 🔥 (hes a leopard seal)
DUDE THATS FREAKIN AWSOME
This is incredible
leopard seals r terrifying i think u did a good job capturing it
puts my fursona in a box. prison!
art challenge: draw your fursona in incresingly smaller boxes
hes so large hes gonna get squished </3
how about increasingly larger boxes…
bros minuscule
thats why its called a challenge u gotta make him fit
I got to watch my fursona get beat up last night and it was fucking awesome
got the best photos of me at a show tonight
omg i just realized i can share my sona that is inspired by a majority of MG songs 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Is he the demon of the pit
not a furry but just wanted to stop by and say these arts and fursonas are sick
This goes so fucking hard
If I remember later I'll try to find the pics I have of me suiting at shows
Made this last night. Her sketch from a few days ago was HORRID
Aaand how i can see the head is a little off.
Also added some nearly invisible text, will keep doing it.
doodlin
I love your art so so much
TYY
Dopeeeee
scribbling out the other half of my ref for now lol
Teach me your ways, master.
Now
Show the the ibis code master
-# ping me if you do, otherwise I mightn't see it
i don't use ibis
rendering saves lives
Yummm so gorg love the purple its my fave color
Do u do ref sheet comms perchance....

it's taken me too long to even finish my own it would be a disservice to make people wait for theirs lol
I already hate how this looks

Literally obsessed with your sona
omg i saw it on the blue bird app
freeeee plushfur base. you can edit/redistribute. credit to synf3ll is appreciated but not required
So cuteee
been thinking of smosh's robert ripley and making a deer sona so why not make a deer sona based off smosh's robert ripley
Okie will be using this :3 it looks very cool
Is there a certain spot where u want the credit to be
it can be anywhere! in the body of the post (if you decide to post it anywhere), written in the image itself, however works for you.
Here is my Sona :3
Turns out a 1900 paycheck is in fact not enough for a fursuit head and paws with some left over for necessities, it is in fact only enough for a head and bullshit (ᇂ_ᇂ |||)
I guess ill just... commision some art then...
What about rent?
Aint that the fancy word the guy who comes screamin and bangin on my front door says every couple of days holding out papers filled with gobbeldygook i cant be bothered to read?
Must be cause I know you ain't complaining about not being able to afford a full fursuit while not having to pay rent 
LMAO
Yeah nah i dont pay rent i still live with my mom and i just got payed 2000 bucks for selling one of my paintings
And thank the lord we own our house because god knows we would not be able to afford rent even if the 2 of us were working full time
Also i dont even have a ref sheet yet, i just wanted to know if i could commision a partial because even though i am usually very patient, this 5 year long in the closet furry adventure has sort of left me completely without patience and now that ive finally come out i kind of just wanna do it all in one go, commision a ref sheet, and get the head and paws ordered
Bro... i can order food now
And not just ordering food... i can do doordash
Holy shit
But im SOOOO FUCKING HUNGRY BRO
Yeeeaaaahhh your right i should be evil (ᇂ_ᇂ |||)
I jus got so greedy
I just want a suit so bad bro T T
Ion even got a single one of my sonas a ref sheet yet and i still want one SO BAD DBDHDJSBSJ
A suit and doordash
Suit prices got me like
i finaly ended up getting a commission and it was nice but it took a few months
i might open my commissions soon maybe
I have fantasized about getting a partial suit for my fursona once I get enough money to but
- Still relatively expensive for me
- I’m bad at keeping the same fursona, let alone persona for myself so by the time I get it I might have a completely new one
- Where would I even store it?
Feel u ive never been able to settle on a sona so ive never dropped the $$ in a suit, theres cool premade partials out there tho
Im gonna finally get a ref made and a design down soon tho and hopefully get a partial this yr
a big thing for me besides money is finding a fursuit maker that isn't a shitty person but also does a style i enjoy
i don't love the very classic toony canine look, my sona is closer to kemono
but some kemono suits are a little too undefined in the nose/mouth area and a little too cutesy
i respect that you can't expect many suiters to deviate from their preferred style
Bro i get that — ^ —
I just look at ppl whos shuits i like and stalk their suit makers profile lmao
Theres a smaller maker on the other coast from me that makes hq suits and prices r avg, def going to bug them
Hes not a bad person to my knowledge lmao but u rly never know
you know the economy's screwed when having fun = sleep for dinner
the day I sacrificed my lunch money for a video game was the day I realized my side hustle needs to become a front and center hustle
finally made a ref for their head
(Biologically accurate Peril??)
super dope design
holy awesome
sketch doodle thingy
hey furdome i havent touched roblox in ages but i miss my avatars idk if i should turn one into a oc/sona or what
ougjhhg goopy cyclops cat thing you drive me to drink
...
i recongize that pose
sounds weird but i feel like ive drawn a drawing with the same reference you might of used
i think ive seen a lot of similar poses
i looked at a picture of pyro tf2 to see where the boots would face
win
i've wanted a fursuit for a decade, and it's taken me just as long to settle on a fursona design
i recommend waiting until you've had the same fursona for at least two years. you don't want to end up with a suit for a character you no longer connect with! unless you're okay with selling it, some people do that.
as far as the expensive part goes ...... yeah 😭 fursuits are very expensive because of the materials and amount of labor that goes into one. even if you make it yourself, it will cost hundreds of dollars.
as for storage, a lot of people hang a bodysuit in their closet and put their head and paws on a shelf. if they have multiple, they get those big plastic storage bins.
i don't have the space to store a fullsuit at the moment, but i'm working on a head. and even that requires a lot of space! for storing the materials, for putting things together.
I think this is one of my favorite designs
:3
Recent ref for my cutesona🔥
Full Fits

Learning
Guys would anyone be interested in me drawing their fursonas? I wanna learn how to draw and also practice this style on different characters and species :3
Would love a sketch of mine if you're interested!
Feel free to experiment!
Okay so I did it! Very fun to draw something else than a canine/canine-ish creature! Still have a lot to learn but it's fine cuz it takes practice >:3
I fucked up few things but that's the price I pay for doing it traditional + using a pen not a pencil lol
I love it! thank you!!
Been looking at pictures of crows and trying to recreate it to get an understanding on how to draw bird fursonas 🔥🔥💥🔥
Also I'm kinda scared that I might kinda "spam" a bit in this channel but I wanna show off my learning process and I have no other space to share it to 😭
So I'm hoping it's not an issue
so obsessed w this stupid sergal and her girlfriend
lowkey obsessed w sergals in general rn

Yus
A scaly is under the blanket definition of furry
Machine furl
machine fih
FISH!!
Also Im still looking for more character to draw ive not drawn in a few years and im trying to build myself back up
This is fantastic
@blissful shoal I'd love an illustration of my goat. I posted some refs in the message I've replied to here
Ooo
Feel free to experiment a bit! I don't have any proper refs because I love seeing artists play around a bit with their interpretation
Oki doki thank you
FISH!!!!!!!!
Dudeeee gorg
this is making me want to redesign my horseshoe crab oc when i have time to
I fear I may have turned Beltz into a f-ck boy belly dancer by accident
EATSSSSSS
UUUUGH. THE DETAILINH ON THIS IS AMAZSBALLS
SKETCHPOST I’ve been hammering out the idea of sparkleanimals as a rave subculture , they’re also sometimes called party animals or glitterfolk hashtag joy and love . Sparkle animals are sort of the in-universe equivalent to someone with 3 trillion piercings and the coolest hair you’ve ever seen and there’s like 500 of them at the machine girl show . machine girl will be canon in the plurrbandit cinematic universe
idk ik what ur talking ab tho
ur welcome here tho i dont think anyone here gaf. ive called meatwad my fursona a few times so i think its anything goes
If you’re referring to part human part animal I think that’s called a kemonomimi? You’re also welcome here too though!
If you're not like a furry furry but kind of a furry you might like the term "furry adjacent"
Maybe
Omggggg this is incredible thank you so much!
@blissful shoal me and my boyfriend have a couple more sonas we'd love to see in your style. Would also love to Venmo you some money for it!
You can actually see the shine from the ink in this one and well my drawing tablet has issues so I cant be bothered fixing it digitally
beautiful
You're REALLY good with fish
Ladies and genlemen... i have finally
MADE A FURSONAAAA SNDBDHDJSJDJJD
Im gonna commision an actual proffessionally made ref sheet soon but i need to pick the right artist for my baby boy
Because god knows i wont be getting enough money to do that shit again after this
He also has these little guys living inside him
Oooo I like them
Might b getting a partial guys oooo
Looking up into the stars with a single tear rolling down my cheek as I whisper one day...
Someone on another server I'm on found a used goat head on fucking Vinted for $260 and I'm so jealous
my sona is too humanoid so if i was ever going to 'suit up' id just attach spikes to myself
Bruhh thats sick
Im looking at this cute premade I dont rly need to spend the money but im kinda tempted...
@dim iron weed lynx...
Omg I follow that maker
They're Russian or something
Tbh I usually think their designs are too loud but that one is pretty good
Yeahhh shes from the Ukraine
They have a shep with similar colors thats for sale too im like ugh me and my partner could match
So much money tho
Some more expressions for my sweet summer child
The fact that i might be getting a fursuit before i get a car kind of makes me question a lot of my decisions
Some mechanical pencil sketches
adorbs
fluffy
More pencil sketches
I love ur style sm so cute
i need outfit ideas for a horseshoe crab…
idk like a loose shirt of some sort maybe? Like something with a lot of room for the arms I’m not v good with outfits
Huge shout out to the artstyle too, it’s rlly cute !!!!
freak ass gay werewolf zombie cryptid thing. God bless you Cicada Barker you’re a hot fucking mess
she has a big lamp she carries with her and she beats the shit out of people with it . uhh her mask is because her face is a little melted from the zombie werewolf stuff
ty! i have been very rusty because i haven’t drawn for so long
Hear me out sounds silly but welly boots and overalls
Just like fishmen wear but in pastel colours
Because horseshoe crabs wade through the shallow beach sand
If not that you could have a jumper on them with a ruffled shirt underneath
Since they have legs underneath their shell it will give the same impression
Person 1: 'NO! Don't go towards the light!' Person 2: 'I'm NOT, it's coming at ME!'
Drops this and runs away
picks it up You dropped this pretty impressive art, its going on the fridge
genuinely chuckled at this, thank you for the laugh.
I fuckin love this style dog huge shout out to the baggy jeans
Like and repost to pet the funny dog (it’s gonna grab you with its weird ass hands). Not quite a furry but it’s in a worldbuilding project of mine with furries in it
this fat fucking chud has been diggibg ib my garbage all night
This is absolutely incredible

Item the sixth for @maschpit.bsky.social
-# Tsavo (@tsavohighway.bsky.social)
Fifth sketch for @lawncrow.bsky.social
Gorggg
Tyy 🥰
I missed so much cool stuff since Ive been gone
Wowwwww
Woah
OOO WOAH!!!!
waiting patiently for rest of design i will obv post once i receive literally so mf excited
ive been meaning to settle on a sona forever and have had an idea in mind but that pre made is so close to what ive been wanting anyways
just downloaded barq last night
not sure if i’ll use it
Whoa this is sick.
I am tbh curious, how many users are there even in Sweden?
Ive thought abt downloading barq but apparently its dead in the states:(
i heard barq is incredibly inactive and most ppl are on discord or telegram. anyway im in a local furry discord group and theres actually a whole ass website with discord integration and you need to have an account on that website to participate in discord. god damn these guys are so smart
i’m still new to all this… i been a lurker but recently i decided to take the plunge and formally call myself a full fledged furry
yell at me to make a ref sheet for crabriel because my motivation to draw has been flushed so far down the shitter that it may as well have reached the water treatment plant
Yeah im literally in a tg group w the barq devs lol but ppl in that group said ppl use it in Europe so idk
i think there might be more activity on there in areas where a con is happening? idk my local one is happening in september
Idk how to find discord or tg groups for local furs tho tbh. Ig i could use disboard but finding channels on tg is nearly impossible
True this makes sense
Also tbf u can b a furry however u want. Ive been a furry for like 17yrs but just had online friend groups, various ocs. Never fully settled on a sona or have a bunch of art or anything. Never been to a con. Ive always wanted a suit but just havent felt like dropping money on one.
yeah that’s fair
i’ve been drawing digitally for like 8 years so i feel like i should be able to contribute to the fandom
fursuits are expensive as shit so i’ve always seen it as a privilege to own one tbh. i’m a horseshoe crab so im not gonna make anything with actual fur but cardboard might do it
my pfp is kinda my sona already (just the colors are stylized)
his design’s based on sheldon from splatoon since i haven’t seen many horseshoe crab characters period
Idk some ppl make being a furry their entire personality and social life which like, more power to those ppl. Being a furry is a core part of who I am but its never been my entire life, although part of that was a shame thing lol. Ive started embracing it more again after the yr I dated my ex bc he was very much the type of person where being a furry was everything to him (for better or for worse lmao)
Unique species sonas r v cool tbh
how long had he been a furry for? i know it can be easy to act like that when you discover a new part of yourself
when i found out i liked goth music i started acting like being goth was a huge part of my personality. now i don’t really dress the part anymore (i look more generally alt than specifically goth) but i still have it in me
maybe when you’re older you’re not supposed to act like that but i’m weird and troubled in a similar vein to what happened to jojo siwa when she started adopting her “bad girl” personality. and we’re the same age to boot
A long time, like I said theres a lot of furries that just make being a furry their entire life but not being like that doesnt make u any less of a furry imo
And like there isnt wrong w anyone like that but being a furry isnt like some competition either yknowww
oh yeah for sure
i don’t really go into anything expecting to act like a seasoned professional at it (except my job bc i was really worried about making a good impression even though i was an intern there last year)
i need to stop being a perfectionist
it’s why i’m not on dating apps aside from the horrible social anxiety. my friends were like “MAKE A PROFILE RIGHT NOW” and im like “i can’t do it until i have good pictures and i look chopped”
Loool I feel that
people always think they’re less attractive than how others perceive them ig, especially if they have low self esteem
i’ve never been insulted on my appearance, only complimented
Also a life long neurotic perfectionist although ive gotten over it quite a bit thankfully
and yet i still feel this way
As anecdotal evidence, after having Barq for probably 4 or 5 years now, I've never made a friend or connection through there. All of the local furries I've met have been in-person through local events, on social media (X/Twitter) which led to hanging out IRL, or on Grindr
that’s how i prefer it
Yeah thats how it seems to go
I wanna go to megaplex finally this yr and wanted to see if theres a tg channel link on twitter somewhere, although twitter sucks ass ngl I did wanna try making a bluesky I just havent
lunch time!
uaaa
i wanna go to furry migration (local) in september and i think im going w a friend but even with friends i can feel too anxious to meet people
the plan’s just gonna be randomly hanging around different activities until someone invites me to a telegram channel
Barq kinda has an issue of being too well made. It's an incredible level of information and access compared to nearly every other dating app, meaning you can look through so many people and get so much info about them. However this still doesn't solve the dating app issue of it being impossible to judge what the vibe of hanging out with someone is like, which is the single most important thing in making connections. So it gives you this detailed portrait of someone with so much of their likes and interests and art, for however many people you want to look at cause of the lack of paywalls, and at least for me leaves me too overwhelmed while still feeling disconnected from an actual social connection
yeah, it suffers from the flaws of every other dating app just because of the nature of such apps
I feel like thats a dating app problem in general, ive never used a dating app but thats also bc ive been in a relationship since I was 16 lol.
you can try to package dating profiles as putting yourself out there, but i also see it as needing to market yourself to impress people (which may work in the short term but certainly not the long term)
The thing that I constantly have to remind myself of in pretty much any social setting is that everyone wants to talk and meet people, but everyone has issues with approaching strangers. You just have to practice that skill
And we never made the decision to suddenly open up and go on apps/into the real world looking for a 3rd, it just ended up happening randomly
i’m scared for the future because i’ve never been in a relationship at my ripe old age and i feel extreme jealousy towards my current friends who have all gotten into relationships
How old are you
50
Gen just going out to bars/social events and putting urself out there and meeting randos is the best way
nah i’m kidding
i’ve done this many times and i’ve never found anyone
R ppl approaching u or r u approaching anyone?
i have to approach everyone every single time
are some people just not meant to be in relationships? if i’m one of these people, why did god make me want a relationship so badly
Well at least ur putting in the effort it'll work out at some point
i want to get married and start a family
i fear it won’t happen in this life
If I was meeting someone new and asked how old they were and they would not answer I would probably not wanna keep talking either I'm just saying 🙄
i’m 23.
Nah the ppl that arent meant to b in relationships r the ones who cant compromise, r too selfish/self-centered
Bruh ur only 23 ur young asf
never having been in a relationship at this age is not normal tho
Not that I dont remember being 18-22 and feeling like I was behind on certain things but now that im a lil older im like oh yeah I was young then and im still young rn
I never had a relationship at that age
Thats not true I swear lol
My First relationship was at 25
what happens if i’m still loveless at 25? or 30? or 40?
i have 10 eyes i can see the future and that is my future
If the only love you have is through a romantic relationship, that's a much larger issue
Gen it wont happen if u stay consistently out there looking around u will find someone lol maybe even today who knows
Or yeah... dating apps ig and playing that game if ur feeling impatient for something naturally to occur irl
see that’s what i’ve been avoiding for a long time
if i’m lucky i can probably get 2 matches a month and they’ll both ghost me
I met my boyfriend at a trivia night I had been going to for 3 years just to socialize and meet new people. I met some friends that I started bringing and we all went in fursuit and yelled mean things at the trivia host, so he noticed me and wanted to start talking
must be nice to have someone approach you
Stop the self pity shit or I'm not gonna keep giving you advice. It's not helping anyone, especially yourself
i’m speaking what i believe and what i perceive to be reality
Being negative abt shit tho is inadvertently making it ur reality
Life sucks but u have to stay neutral or try to b optimistic or else u become a self fulfilling prophecy
And that applies to everyone. Ive been there, everyone ik has been there, the 2 ppl ive ever loved have been there.
My ex was stuck there and it was part of what sabotaged the relationship tbh
The last bitch I wanna talk to at the bar is the one who is negative about everything. And then she'll say some shit like "do you play Deadlock" and I'm like oh my god get me out of here
i can try to put myself out there but i’ll just be proven right
you think you can tell someone to stop being negative and all of a sudden they’ll be normal? no, you still dislike them because they were negative in the first place
Everyone has negative thoughts, its about being able to filter them. Trauma dumping on someone you just met is not gonna make any friends
LMAOO
i don’t do this? i try everything to impress people and then nothing follows
i spent 20+ hours making a star chain belt for femtanyl and it was beat to shit by the time it was over
i had to tell people about it for people to even pay attention to it
Nah im well aware undoing chronic negative thinking is a process, also ppl disliking negativity ≠ disliking u as a person. Its the negativity itself thats the problem.
I genuinely thought these same things when I was your age. I thought that no one would find me interesting and that I was a poser who would scare everyone away with their weird kinks and interests. But then I started public fursuiting at trivia night and approached the table full of queers and invited them to my birthday party, not even knowing any of their names, and the hottest Brazilian boy ever was all over me. I started a transfem climbing meetup just cause I wanted to meet people near my house, and no one showed up for a few months, and suddenly it's a great group of people and me and the wolf girl who comes are crushing on each other
Aw that sucks tho i feel like shows r never safe for stuff p much everything gets beat up or lost
oh wow its actually active in here
These things take time and perseverance and effort but they do work out
Its literally the 3 of us going on a life advice spiral
so real tbh
i’m sorry this has been all i’ve talked about. not being in love is actually crippling my life
im actually going to a furry meet on friday in the seattle/tacoma area in washington
i also just graduated from uni and i’m in a transitional depressive phase where i have no direction of where i want to go next other than vaguely wanting to apply to grad school
Ur totally fine we havent even been talking abt it for that long, we r trying to help u feel better i swear
its a bit of a drive for me but im excited
oh yay
I'm about to hit you with the antiquated psychiatry shit, but have you ever heard of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs? @radiant glade
yes, i have
Seattle is like furry central
im bad at life advice/comforting people 😓
my need of belonging is never fulfilled no matter where i go or what i do
it’s actually so bad that i cut off nearly all of my friends and have been crying loudly in my room late at night because i just want to be held and comforted but know that no one will ever do this
yeeesss!! the meet is a small group of people local to the area :) it wasnt super large last time i went, but tbf it was the first meet just in general
though this weeks meet might be a bit smaller cause of furlandia
but i have to suck it up and focus on my job so i don’t get fired on the very first day
lets go get that bread, boy
im sorry, that does suck though
what good is having money if you can’t spend it on flowers and dates and presents
i’ll spoil my loved one so rotten
i hope you feel better later
get yourself a treat
i don’t think i’ll ever be happy
not until by some impossible miracle that someone confesses their love for me
i’ll wait
weeks will turn to months and months to years
years to a lifetime of solitude and i won’t be found until they come to evict me from my empty apartment
maybe you need to focus on yourself before you focus on another person
you cant wait for somebody else to make you happy or you will be miserable
and if you convince yourself that nobody is able to love you then you wont be able to love yourself
desires are never fulfilled and are the root of all suffering
but i cannot stop desiring what cannot be
i just wish someone could prove me wrong for once
then you should learn to desire something else that can easily be
ITS NOT SOMEONE ELSE'S RESPONSIBILITY
no one will magically come along to prove you wrong unless you prove yourself wrong first!!!
i kind of am one by definition but whatever
Oh my god....
then nobody is going to accept you??? you should definitely try to work on yourself more if you want to get into a relationship
young lonely men are a pretty vulnerable population and can easily be manipulated or radicalized by malicious actors. naturally they started to be influenced by redpillers because they claimed to offer a solution to their problems, and it’s created this toxic shithole ideology that we associate incels with that i am in no way shape or form a part of
Genuinely the last and most important piece of advice I can give you is get the fuck offline
motherfucker, i’ve said many times before that i have
i’ll report back in maybe six months and see how much has changed since then. i guarantee you nothing ever happens
what do you guys think of "manchineel" as a name for this guy? its a kind of toxic plant :3
Don't b snippy w Haley thats da goat (literally)
eh, i was on track to getting blocked either way
Slimey
bro is very slimey
manchineels also have a toxic sap !!! i feel like i ate with the name
Literally u wont b if ur not an asshole lol
This is the self fulfilling prophecy shit I was talking abt w pessimism and negativity
^^^^
Wassup slime
U did, wut does the toxin do
this dude i was dating kept talking about how i was going to "break up with him eventually" and one day he pulled that card while we were having a small arguement
broke up with him on the spot
its basically a really bad irritant? it can burn your skin and stuff, and the "apples" i think can kill you? i gotta do a bit more research on em
Oh no don't irritate my skin goo lizard 😳😳🥴
Fr, I briefly mentioned it earlier but the dude me and my partner dated for a year literally sabotaged the relationship w his unyielding negativity. Gen loved him and thought we were all gonna b partners for life but he made it nearly impossible
i genuinely think a partner would solve all of my problems but ok
YES thats exactly what he did
he also just kept making me feel bad about things that i should not have felt bad about because of his negativity
then, im sorry for saying it, but youre an idiot
LMAO stopp I was holding my tongue
or at least in that regard
ofc there are problems in other aspects of life and problems that are solved will be replaced with new ones but
knowing i’m actually capable of getting into a (healthy) relationship, even if it doesn’t last, would boost my self esteem so much
it actually used to be not having friends that i was so upset over
idk. new people are joining this convo and im scared
anyway
furries
i was working on a badge but I remember that i wasn't even done w my ref
oo?
show show show
im working on a headshot of manchineel rn :3 well not RIGHT right now but
i'm not done w either
something i realized is that i used to be super good at calligraphy and i kept trying to draw a cool font under the badge and i got nothing
and i wanna be clear: this is not implying they would be solving problems actively; it’s the being able to do couple stuff and be seen as a couple part that does it
jealous, im horrid with calligraphy
i would absolutely never put my responsibilities on someone else because i don’t want to burden them
one of my old hs teachers could mimic literally any font and it was crazy
miss that dude, he retired (or switched schools?) same time i graduated
funny thing is that is own handwriting was almost impossible to read lol
Was updating my Toyhouse yesterday and found a couple pieces I don't think I've shared here
i have to get back into the practice of drawing as a whole
oh same mine is kinda ass
drawing letters is easier than writing them
i always love seeing this oc, so cool
i have been reading a chinese book on anatomy cause i’ve always sucked at it
rn i approach drawing as some sort of meticulous study so i can come out as a better artist than i was being strictly a hobbyist who just draws whatever without caring about the fundamentals
which of course makes starting a lot more difficult but if that spark of motivation ever comes, i’d probably draw nonstop for 13 hours and unlock godly drawing powers as naoki saito so claims
i have only ever wunged it
wang it
been winging it for 8 years and even through the first 2 years of it, i saw improvement
now i feel bad bc i upset a bunch of people in this chat of all places
at least it wasn’t in the main dome
i guess everyone is telling me that i am, in fact, wrong
No one is upset trust its not that serious lol
But yeah u need to do some self reflection my friend
We r all just giving advice from our own life experience(s) to try and help u
any advice is appreciated
Short but simple.
Would you tell someone else the things you tell yourself?
my therapist, perhaps
(i don’t have a therapist right now and i’m actively looking for one, but i haven’t gotten a response from the clinic ive reached out to)
it’s difficult to not talk about it with the wrong people when you don’t have someone readily available for you who will listen, and i don’t expect that for everyone, and i end up bottling these feelings up until they eventually get released at the wrong place and the wrong time just like uncontrollable bowels (an inappropriate analogy, i know)
The artist is opening these again

Ooo
Also I sat for 10 minutes catching up on everything said in here
Bombastic side eye
yeahhhhh
😓
If you want me to weigh in on this, you may not like it. You're describing self inflicted, isolated loneliness. I'm watching you talk about this non existent saviour, that will lift you out of your slump. You're not protecting yourself by avoiding connection, your further wounding yourself. Then to deal with it, you're creating a false reality that everyone dislikes you. Further cutting yourself off from any genuine connection before it even starts. Then this cure all person will fix how you feel. They wont, they don't exist. It sounds like you've created an unholy cycle of hell, that you can't escape. You're afraid of being alone, yet you've completely isolated yourself. That doesn't sound very fun at all, I have no doubt in my mind that you're suffering. I definitely don't think you're doing it on purpose. However you need to understand that you do need help and that you can help yourself. In little ways until you can get the help you need from a Therapist or Psychologist. I'm trying to think if there's anything I can give you that could help you. Do a little bit of research into Monophobia with isolation and perhaps Avoidant Personality Disorder. I'm not saying you have these things however they could give you coping techniques.
This isn't to be mean I swear
I like exercising my brain sometimes
