25.11.2025 22:19 — 👍 7 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0At this stage I just want it all to end. I have been so stressed and sad and I think hearing "nothing can be done" will make me sadder but at least I will stop this anxiety I've been under since the drive broke.

Anthro lioness in a wolf pelt sitting on the floor, inspired by Princess Mononoke - face paint and a fur cloak with a mask.
I just wanted an excuse to draw my fursona as San from Princess Mononoke, since she heavily influenced the creation of Vilani.

Nude picture of two male crocodiles standing next to each other, the first being taller than the one on the right. Both are green and have a light belly/ tail. They are from ancient Egypt, thus the background displays Egyptian symbols/hieroglyphs.

ANYWAY I'm a zookeeper/Curator/Animal Manager and AMA? Lmao
24.11.2025 10:01 — 👍 10 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0The pay will always be shit regardless of the size of the zoo. You will always end up having to work with animals you aren't in love with. Be realistic.
But if you love zookeeping, keep going. You will get there. You will have a chance eventually. I did, and as stressed as I am 24/7, I love my job
So many have this idea they must work at a large zoo with only the animals they specifically want. My advise: throw that idea out of the window. Large zoos are complex, difficult to navigate and most likely you will be working with animals you don't love. That's the reality of the industry.
24.11.2025 09:56 — 👍 4 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0I became a zookeeper BC the zoo I applied for was very small and at the time the employees didn't have specific roles such as Curator or Conservation officer or anything like that. So if you do want to work in the industry, my advise is: try smaller zoos with a small team first.
24.11.2025 09:52 — 👍 5 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0A good CV means nothing in this industry. It doesn't matter what people say. You become a keeper out of luck, nepotism, or because a zoo doesn't have many applications at the time.
24.11.2025 09:48 — 👍 6 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Another bit of lore! A veterinarian wanting to become a zookeeper was seen by everyone interviewing me (Senior Zookeeper/biologists/other vets) as "this person wants my job" in this industry. Because I was overqualified, I was a threat. I was rejected from 10 zoos, despite having a great CV.
24.11.2025 09:47 — 👍 9 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 1I gave up vet med and wanted to became a zookeeper, but with my CV nobody took me seriously because I was overqualified. So I decided to study biology and take my bachelor's and pretend I didn't have a Veterinary degree.
Eventually became a zookeeper and then zoo curator/animal manager.
The end.
After having my parents nurture my arts, they told me "you will absolutely not be an artist because you will be poor and die" so the only thing I had left was taking care of animals and they told me the only possibility was to be a Veterinary doctor. After being a Vet for 4 years, I was depressed.

22.11.2025 21:44 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0It's sad but very understandable! I have always loved your work and I am so thankful for all the thousands of icons you did for me. Thank you so much for all the amazing art during these past years ❤️

Reminder to never comm details on payment websites, and to never directly link your payment pages to your NSFW work.
Feel free to contact me and Griff over bsky, or poke me on telegram (my @ is vilanivila).
20.11.2025 23:01 — 👍 8 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Rather than being a "cute animals" group, the aim is to focus on ecology and science related to animals.
If you are a nerd about animals, or wish to become one, would like to share stuff about animals, we will happily accept you!
No need to work in any animal field to join, any nerd is welcome <:
@griffinbandida.bsky.social and I have created a telegram group dedicated to all things animals and how we want to share knowledge and appreciation for animals of every kind!
This group is more focused on the animals and science about them rather than aesthetic, bc WE ARE NERDS.
This feature can be disabled by going to Invoicing -> Feedback and toggling 'Collect feedback' off there (on a business account, at least)
