Typhus Moth

And that stress led me to eat. It was the ONLY thing I had control of. I worry it's too late now to undo the damage I've done to myself.

All I can do now is take each day by itself, and do the best I can. Learn, Grow, and try to be the best version of my elegant, dark, verbose and weird self. (3/3)

I'm trying more and more to get as much done on the list of relearning EVERYTHING for my CCNA, which hopefully I can afford to take since I'll have ONE SHOT at hopping the gap.

The gap that you'd think family would help you leap, but mine said "we don't want to help you too much." (2/3)

Honestly, I'm so stressed it's unreal.

Every week, something worse gets passed, pushing me more into the 'list of undesirables' from the new section of facists.

I'm still finding it impossible to find ANY kind of work, which drives me CRAZY.

My friends are targets and struggling already... (1/3)

Reason No. 5 for my weight loss journey:

Being skinnier and having skills that are widely needed make it easier to move to a different country.

Honestly, I'm getting tired of the furry fandom

Some Furs STILL trying to make the entire fandom 'an adult thing'
Nazi furs trying to be included
A bad set of LGBT furs trying to exclude straight Furs
Young 20-somethings trying to say anyone over 30 isn't allowed

Is the fandom even fun anymore?

Reason No. 4 for my weight loss journey:

Pure, Undiluted, Spite.

Yep, who knew that the Goth Moth who sings Voltaire to themselves and parades like a supervillain runs on spite?

Getting back at the people who marginalize me for being overweight is part of my driving factor. Mwahahaha...

Inner, Middle, Outer.

Inside, one storm can brew. Personal issues, the things that go wrong day to day.

In the middle, how we interact can split and fray, if we grow distant.

And outside, the world itself has a pulse, as it twists sickeningly and we beg to get off this horrific roller coaster.

‪Reason No. 3 for my weight loss journey:

Almost the entire reason I'm overweight is stress eating. I've been dealing with lack of control of my life choices for 20 YEARS. The entire saga was a struggle.

Since addressing issues? Off days sometimes, but weight's dropping fast.

Reason No. 2 for my weight loss journey:

Expanding the options for decorating the meat suit my mind currently occupies.

A lot of people have NO IDEA how limiting it is, being obsessed with aesthetic and trying to make myself appear in a manner I find satisfactory to my brain.

I'll say it out loud, because it's not said loud enough.

If you're harassing the straight furries, and say they don't belong in the fandom?

YOU don't belong in the fandom.

The furry fandom is LITERALLY for anyone of any orientation.

The only completely positive one I know of it Tom Hanks securing his brother Jim Hanks with VA roles for everything Woody in every bit of voice work outside of the feature films.

Reason No. 1 for my weight loss journey:

I want to move better. This flesh suit just isn't cutting it, and I REALLY need to do this anyway. My fluidity, movement speed, and range of motion are only going to be what I want with a slimmer body.

A meme from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. In the top panel, one man labeled "literally every company" hands a plate labeled "AI" to a man labeled "me." In the bottom panel, the man labeled "me" nonchalantly tosses the plate down the hallway, discarding it with casual disdain while the first man watches.

Time to post it again.

If you've ever gone or considered scalping products, unfollow me.

I used to collect and play the Pokemon TCG up until a few years before moving, but the cost and effort to try to find one box just to see what I pull isn't worth it anymore.

I just liked my favorites. Thanks for ruining it.

I'll say it again. if you're soliciting people because you think 'they might need stuff from me' who haven't asked, and haven't even posting about looking for those services?

You're automatically an asshole.

As an creator, make your examples, post them everywhere, and let customers come to you.

But despite the bad, the huge bit of good has to be cheered. When furs didn't act stupid, the Virtual Queue worked. The Vendor Hall needed to be bigger, but friends of mine reported more sales than any year. Add in the new escalator next year, and I can't wait for FWA '26. (5/5)

During the Moonlight Festival, me and friends wanted to go to one of our rooms in the Hilton, badly hurting to sit down. Not only will I remember the face of the JACKASS Con-goer in line, The lack of support for Hilton guests not be stuck for hours was jarring. (4/5)

The big issues came from CSC not seeming to communicate. Yes, the did LOTS, but being uninformed became a problem. They caused issues for Fursuiters needing to get out of suit badly, They often didn't know anything going on, and even tried control methods that hurt the con. (3/5)

Everything that made the con unbearable last year was gone. By moving the Vendor Hall, then freed the Hilton to be MUCH more possible to navigate. The registration got more streamlined, but crowded like always. The elevators were managed, and ended up being easier, but... (2/5)

FWA 2025 is come and gone now, and I have to say...

Yeah, I'm re-invested.

The leaps and bounds of improvements are evident. While I will trash CSC (The security company that half did it's job, half had an abusive powertrip) it was pretty good regardless. (1/5)

At this point, between people purposefully starting drama, these kind of stupid 'pranks', and people going too far, the furry fandom needs do something active. We need to decide when enough is enough, and push out those in the fandom that can't respect others' experience. (3/3)

No one's laughing with you anymore. Even if you think it's funny or a great prank, this idiocy needs to end now. So I say...

Unilateral Furry Convention Bans.

A backing section of the fandom for the cons, listing every person caught trying to do these things so Cons can revoke as they need. (2/3)

As people post 'pool is closed' meme for FWA, and have started a chat about certain 'things', I have to put this forward:

Unilateral Furry Convention Bans.

While it might seem too much, at this point it feels like it has to happen. People take bad jokes too far and then try to laugh it off. (1/3)

If you see this, post a sword ⚔️
Art by NeonFurries, Magnus Delphin is mine.
He's probably overdue for a redesign too... XD

I stopped enjoying Harry Potter because JK is trash, but..

Anyone else thinking of how BAD the casting is, for the WB series?

Think about it. I'm sure they're gonna make Harry white. With white parents.

Which means Harry's white mom married her former black friend's constant high school abuser.

Second correction: It's very clear I was tired when I wrote this, please pardon missing words and some wrong words used.

Just realized I made a mistype. I meant to type PS5 games, my bad.

Watching people blame Nintendo for $80 games, when PS4 and Xbox X when to $70 with thoughts of going higher already...

It's almost they're perpetually unsatisfied and critical of anything that have a bias against while ignoring the same from what they favor.

Oh wait.

When adjusted for inflation, the Switch 2 will be nearly dead center at Nintendo's console cost.

1. NES with inflation: 600
2. SNES with inflation: 498
3. Wii U with inflation: 491
4. Switch 2: 450
5. Nintendo 64 with inflation: 411
6. Wii, with inflation: 400
7. Gamecube with inflation: 361

Not to be blunt, but Welcome Tour is going to be one of the biggest failures in Nintendo History.

You can call it now.

A game, designed to introduce you to the console, is paid content.

You HONESTLY think this is a good idea? 1, 2, Switch did terribly. And this is just that, on steroids.
