Who else associates specific foods, smells, music, movies, shows, or games with specific periods of their life?

Or even just associate some of those things with each other because you got into them around the same time so they are now forever linked in your brain?

anyone else feeling especially mentally unwell the past 24 hours?

If you want some pro-tips for waking yourself up:

Close your eyes as hard as you can and then open them as hard as you can repeatedly.

I've definitely had some painful nightmares before.

I'm assuming you are mainly talking about working on art you want to draw intrinsically, but I do think commissioning an artist with just: character(s), setting, premise, and then letting the artist figure out the rest could be fun.

If I die a boring way that preserves my body, I want my corpse to be put through a Happy Wheels style death course that mutilates it appropriately for the entertainment of the masses.

using just your laptop while sitting at a public desktop computer should be a misdemeanor

taking the kickstands off the public keyboards should be a felony

(this is half-joking hyperbole)

I don't hold it against these people for having a different way of vibe-checking.

Checking if someone is willing and able to accomodate others' social expectations is a good way to vibe-check.

I just think a lot of people mistake these largely superficial vibe-checks as indicators of good or evil.

I just think a lot of people put social weight on a lot of things which are purely performative, purely to communicate you're "normal", part of the "in-group", able to play along with the each others' social/cultural norms.

I do consider some things to be red/yellow flags.

The more cishet, neurotypical, reactionary, pointlessly edgy, pointlessly antagonistic/disagreeable, the more caution I exercise.

They aren't necessarily judgements in-and-of themselves, but characteristics I consider correlated with being shitty.

I wish people could interact with each other without having to match the communication style and social expectations of the other person.

I don't think I really have expectations of others beyond the basic: be good, do no harm, apologize when you harm.

I LOVE ACCOUNTABILITY!

I LOVE BEING HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR MY ACTIONS AND THEIR FORESEEABLE CONSEQUENCES!

I LOVE IMPROVING MY BELIEFS AND BEHAVIORS TO BE MORE INTERNALLY CONSISTENT AND LESS HARMFUL TO MYSELF AND OTHERS!

There are so many different hobbies, skills, and interests that you do not know about either because you haven't been exposed to them, or because you never took the time to learn more about them.

Curiosity is what helps you discover more good things and actually benefit from their existence.

Everyone's brains and circumstances are different, everyone has different things they're good or bad at, things they like or dislike, things that make them happy or unhappy.

The only one who can know what's good for you is: you.

The more stuff you try, the more good stuff you'll find.

It's ok to enjoy something "for the wrong reasons" if you still find value in it.

It's ok to do something "the wrong way" or make "beginner mistakes" if you find it much faster/easier that way.

It's ok to try something, realize it's not for you, and drop it without a second thought.

Adding onto this:

You don't have to approach new hobbies, skills, interests, art, etc. in the way others say you should.

Reiterating: regardless of any of my preferences, I want the art you make to be art you want to make and feel good about making.

All of your art is very well-designed and well-executed, and the variety of styles and mediums you work in is wonderful to witness.

Hope I gave you some ideas though!

For your more colorful expressionist/surrealist art I'd like to see you try using more darker color palettes. I personally find the color palettes of the art can feel a bit samey. I think this is due to the use of very bright colors without having a good balance of dark colors in the same art.

Additionally, I would like to see more variety in characters and species. For me, the RayJ-sona does get a bit old visually, especially when most art depicts them without clothing to add variety to their appearance.

I think I'd also like to see more art depicting multiple characters interacting.

focus on maws/teeth

focus on full-body anatomy with digitigrade legs as well as profile view of maw

I realize most of your art is introspective/self-reflective but if I am to give my suggestions: I would like to see more art that "feels" "furry". Attached is 3 examples of art which I think does this. Partial focus on anatomical differences in creatures™ vs. humans. Fur, maws, furgonomics, etc.

I really like the sound design in this. Iconic.

oh so that's what flirting is

If someone was upside-down transformed into themselves would they be "ship of theseus'd"?

Or what about frontside-back or leftside-right transformation?

Damn I just saw the video an hour later than you. We're algorithm neighbors!

Sense of taste is affected by more than just what is being tasted in the present, but what was tasted in the recent past, your mental/emotional state, how hungry you are, and more.

It's harder for my brain to store new information, but when it does it becomes more easily accessed and interconnected with other information than for most brains.
