If you win a giveaway and we are not connected on Discord or Telegram, I will try to connect via Twitch. If no response is heard within 72 hours, another winner will be drawn and contacted. Joining the server will help make communication much easier if you win. Thank you! 4/4

"Fantasy theme" could either be set in a fantasy setting, or slice of life with fantasy elements. Final picture would be my sona, Tide, with your sona or OC of choice within the SFW parameters. You will get a full res copy of the artwork upon completion. 3/4

If you win the Game Bundle Giveaway, you have the option to choose between the Steam or the Switch bundle. If there is already a game you have in a bundle, I will be happy to work with you to get a new game chosen. 2/4

Good morning, folks! Breaking my silence here for a pretty significant announcement!

Later this month I’ll be hosting my first marathon on Twitch to celebrate a new season of life, the friends who stood with me through it, and the start of a new year. Please keep reading…

Also, if you can’t find the link or Discord is being stupid and says the invite link for the server is expired, DM me here and I’ll get you squared away. Promise! 💗

So, if you like bara furs, marathons, and celebrations, you’re invited! There’ll be some giveaways and surprises on Stream. However, if you the server linked, you can get the opportunity to influence what’s on the schedule for my birthday stream, not to mention hangout with other solid folks…

Last notification for this before going dark in full here. The link is in my bio to join the discord server for friends. I would love to stay in touch.

Hey, folks! It’s been a bit. Gonna do a thread on where I’m at, what‘s going on, and what the future has in store. For friends and moots, I’d be doubly grateful for your time and consideration. (1)

P.P.S. If I have not gotten back to you on Discord or Telegram, either give me some time or ping me again. Part of the mental overload was how many notifications I was dealing with. That, too, has been fixed to be healthier for me long term.

P.S. Lastly, here is the link itself, so X can obliterate a post of mine into the ground one last time.

You are responsible for your life. Both for what you decide to do, and what you decide not to do. If you want to be stronger, to be better, there are folks out there, just as weak, willing to help be your strength. Don’t think you have to go at it alone. Because you do not. (16)

So, before droning on too much longer, I’ll wrap it up. If this is the extent of our meeting and interacting, I wish you all the best. Truly. If this is just the next step in us becoming friends, then that’s awesome, and I can’t wait to see you soon. But keep this in mind… (15)

t’s like a certain hobbit talks about that, and how good things are worth fighting for… Hmm! So what better way to use all my newfound free time but to make things to help others realise they’re not alone… And this is not all there is. (14)

And that is something else I’ve realised since cutting out social media for the past two weeks, how much free time I have. It’s beautiful. I want to make things that encourage, engage, and excite folks… Because this world is increasingly dark and oppressive. (13)

To stay in contact or connect beyond all of this madness. I will be continuing streaming, because it’s a good time to spend with friends and sharing in the things we love, but everything related to that and my creative efforts will live there, too. (12)

As long as you’re not an odious troll, or seeking the harm of others, you are welcome. Yes, even if it’s just to lurk. It is meant to be a place of finding friends and folks whom want to make stuff. There is a bit of a vetting process, but feel free to join if you want… (11)

How will I do that now, you ask? Haha, add psychic to my list of skills. Right? No, I‘m not quitting being a furry or a creator. And if you noticed the initial post, you may have a hint of what’s coming. A Discord server. Yes, a traditional discord server. (10)

But I will effectively be dead. No likes. No follows. No posts. No tiki torches. I didn’t join this site to become popular or to gain a following. I just wanted to find other funny furry people whom want to be good people and make the world around them better. (9)

Going on in my own life, on the home front, to fill up my bottle of worries and heartaches, to last a life time. If I want to worry about anyone else, I want it to be my people. What does that mean for here? Well, my account will stay up so my name isn’t taken. (8)

24/7 Is just not sustainable or healthy, my guys. I don’t want to see the wanton violence of tragedies overseas, let alone those whom gloat over them. Conversely, I don’t like seeing folks rejoice in the death of someone I know of, or target my friends. I’ve got enough… (7)

So much so that I kinda came to a crazy decision. I’m leaving this site, and a few other, to cut out the pharmacies of black pills, and the other patients ill with vitriol, malice, and gloom. Not saying everything has to be perfect, but bombarding ourselves with bad things… (6)

However, because I do my best to contain my struggles and not blow up on the internet, I just went dark on a lot of fronts. Yes, I can put on a mask of “everything is awesome” when it clearly is not. And that’s a flaw I need to work on. However, the time away has been good. (5)

It feels like every day, even though its mostly once a week, some new tragedy or drama causes anger, pain, and heartache of some variety. And it got to the point where I had a bit of mental breakdown because everything hit at once. (4)

If those burdens weren’t enough, I am still grappling with what is next for me employment wise. While still jobless, I am chasing down a few promising leads. However, even those dwindle by the week. And then X… What can I say about that wonderful site… and even this one at times… Sheesh… (3)

I am in California at the moment. No seriously, I had to make a trek out to the West Coast for a temporary opportunity. Going back home tomorrow. The last few weeks have been incredibly stressful and difficult. Both friends and family are dealing with some very tragic issues. (2)
