An anime-styled digital illustration in cel colors, featuring two anthro characters -- an older blonde pig girl, and a toddler brunette pig girl, wearing bikinis, and stepping into a beach.

Wear sunscreen.

An anime-style picture of a young bear girl with pink hair and huge pigtails, with purple eyes, wearing a short pink dress, and a pair of Birkenstock-like sandals, standing in a fighting stance in simple city setting tinted in a gradient from orange at the top, to pink at the bottom.

Give love its rightful time.

An anime style drawing of a wolf pup smiling, and extending his arms towards the viewer for a hug. HIs fur is taupe/sand, with off-white muzzle, belly, and paws. His pawpads are salmon colored. He has a blonde hairstyle with a ponytail, and blue eyes.

"Zephyr", the wolf pup character in Poni's comic!

By law, every magical girl has a cute mascot!

Poni got him, instead. >>;

The 2024-remake, of old picture of an old "fursona" of Poni's!

(not that Poni ever had a fursona, nei)

Merry Christmas!

A screenshot, a pop-up notice of a label, placed on a previous post, by the BlueSky moderation team.

Apparently, @lionlef.bsky.social is too sexy for BS.
So sexy it hurts.

A reference sheet for a furry character, Lef, including three different standing poses, and seven different facial expressions.

A long overdue ref sheet commission for a very patient @lionlef.bsky.social -- thank you for commissioning Poni! ♪

Wow, Poni almost forgot he has this BS account. ♪

Poni mostly spending time on X (formerly and always "Twitter").

Will kinda sorta maybe occasionally check in here, though!

A glass of Coke, a plate of maki rolls, and a bowl of BBQ wings at Yoyogi, in San Borja, Lima, Peru

Poni treating himself to sushi (maki rolls, really) because he has been through a lot, lately TT

Would post on Twitter, but Poni hasn't logged into Twitter on the phone, hah.

Poni didn't know Wuk Lamat's ENG voice actor is trans! #FF14 She did an awesome job! ♥

Wuk Lamat is awesome! For entire expansions, we've been bossed around by rich sharlayan brat, Alphinaud.

Wuk Lamat is an actual princess who actually cares.

Glad to follow her, and up yours, Alphy. <<;

A Final Fantasy XIV screenshot, showing the dialog box after completion of a dungeon.

So, Poni take a break from arts. Back to #FF14 tomestone farming! ♪

"Maybe we'll get a better party of randos, this time, nei..."

Hahahah. But this time, Poni took screenshot.

This group lasted a bit longer, tho! "Finishing Alexandria solo" is gonna be a thing for a while.

Exhausting, nei. TT

Poni wanted to farm a bit more, but that battle drained Poni a fair bit.

The mid-kids only bothered to say "yay" and "GG" after Poni victory. Srsly? Long epic battle, sole survivor vs final boss, Poni wins? And all you can say is "GG"?

Rude.

Poni did get the three commendations, though.

#FF14

To be fair, Alexandria is tricky! First boss, in particular. LOTS of moving around!

In fact, with this party, we wiped on the first boss! Healer died early, boss had too much HP left, let's try again.

Kinda sad that one of Poni's most epic moments was witnessed only by 3 (mid) randos.

#FF14

Farming tomes in #FF14 as a WAR.

Doing "Alexandria". Never did that dungeon with humans. How bad can it be?

>>;

Final boss (Eliminator?).
Healer dies, boss has more than 50% HP left.
Both DPS die soon after, one-third of HP left.

(sigh)

Poni pushes through. <<;

Poni wins. \o/

Also, hi.

Poni guesses.

There was a veneer of "goodness" around the system, enough to make us believe that "justice" would prevail.

But now that the illusion dispels, we are forced to deal with the horrible truth.

A great philosopher once said, "get rich or die tryin'". Very wise words, nei.

Srsly, though, the more Poni reads about current events, the more disgusted he gets, nei.

And yet, Poni surprised that he's surprised!

Haven't we known that the rich do what they want, and get away with it, because they own the "system"?

Hasn't it always been the case?

How was that news?

To those who still believe that the "good guys" can win while keeping the "moral high ground" by "playing by the rules".

Why?

This is no longer a "fair" game. It never was.

Your unwillingness to do what's needed will be your doom, and your opponent knows this.

They laugh at you as they win.

When we were young, we were told that we had to be good, and honest, and we had to work hard. If we did, then we would live worthy lives. Maybe even be "happy".

Then you realize that these were lies ingrained in you since birth, to keep you submissive.

Also, good morning. ♪

Eeep
Hope you're staying safe, little lion!

By the way, Poni is doing #FF14 roulettes as a WAR -- since it's Poni's main class now, and he needs to level up anyway.

Yes, Poni already unlocked Viper and (ugh) Pictomancer. But Poni being a tank.

Poni is the reason your queue is 50 and not 51.

You're welcome.

Poni admits that he took the "contrived innocence" quip as a personal attack.

Poni can't speak for "The Corporations", but for Poni, "innocence" is his refuge, and his dream destination.

Poni happy he read that comment, today. It reminded Poni of his roots as a cute artist. ♪

Second of all, sure: "The corporations" manufacture cutesy innocence, and pplz eat it up, hahaha, so lame.

Well, think about it: Why does it sell so well? ♪

Is it a bad thing to like pop music, cute art, feel-good stuffs?

Can we only enjoy something if it's gritty and dark?

In more general terms, this is about "happy", pre-fab music, with *quote* a contrived innocence *unquote*.

First of all, listen to what you want to listen! Never let anyone tell you that what you like is "wrong"!

(unless what you like is something like, kicking ponies, then it is actually wrong!)

When Poni was a young colt, Poni was only "allowed" (by his groups of friends) to listen to certain kinds of music.

Pop music? Grody!
Techno/dance? No way!
Hard rock? Cool!
Heavy metal? Tubular!

Just now, reading how """""music critics""""" dismiss "bubblegum pop", makes Poni reminisce.

Also, hi.

Poni had wanted to start #ff14 Dawntrail with a Manderville axe! sadly, Poni wasn't able to farm for tomes.

That being said, Poni open FF14 today, and it's downloading a big update already!

Poni read notes, and if Poni not mistaken, Poni could use poetic tomestones for a good axe? Poni hope so!

Poni considers these past few days as lost, nei.

Poni hasn't had the energy to do anything of consequence. Just re-watch anime, and do his dailies on FF14 -- and only barely!

That being said, Poni's devotion to his dailies paid off!

As of June 25th, Poni is a lvl 90 in all classes that count. ♪

Good day furries and normies.

Poni kinda sorta feeling better. Frankly, what annoys Poni the most is how slow recovery is!

Also, bathroom time, which is frequent! It sucks ass to leave Poni's warm room to sit for half an hour on a freezing hard porcelain throne. >>;

Also cold, humid, dark...

Ugh, Poni kinda sorta wants to sleep, but sleep is hard when you're feeling icky.

Also, Poni wants to stream, but Poni doesn't feel like drawing, tonite.

Poni will do a (text) chat stream, shortly, in his usual naughty channel. Be there or be square, furry. <<;

That being said, Poni is super tired of talking about shit sibling.

Most posts on this thing have been about them? It's infuriating.

Poni will quit that, not because it's stopped, not because Poni wants to hide it. It's simply not good for Poni health, nei.
