If you need to justify yourself
To the world, to your broken sense of self
If you've got nothing to show
No art, no pictures, no presence, no music
And nowhere left to go
Just tell them

I Had A Bad Year, Okay
New album out now

Okay I'm kinda nervous but do you guys wanna see a cosplay I've been working on?

I specifically waited until I was working Saturday so I could be alone in the lab to take pictures lol

I should do a "Worst Idea Of All Time" type twitch stream where I play nothing but Myst once a week for a year

MaeveDX @maevedx.bsky.social · 1d

What if I started streaming 90s PC adventure games

Nothing beats starting the morning with a delicious flask of brown

Figuring out what kinda person you want to be seems to be the mid-20s experience, it can be rough. Hoping things start to look up for you a bit <3

These are very "first reading" reactions, I'm gonna have to let it simmer and give it another read. But fantastic writing all around with lots of astute observations about the furry community

Conclusion: GOD i wish bluesky didnt have a character limit. I got a lot of shit to say!!

MaeveDX @maevedx.bsky.social · 5d

I'm slowly figuring it out. In the last couple years I've started to dip my toes into the furry music community. The sense of commodification still persists (worrying I'm not releasing music fast enough, worrying that I don't have an interesting enough virtual stage presence)

Baby steps

Maybe there's something philosophical I'm missing. Maybe I can synthesize a fursona with a multifaceted sense of self. I haven't quite figured that out yet. I think spending my teenage years on social media really fucked with viewing my very being as a commodity, something to be marketed to others.

MaeveDX @maevedx.bsky.social · 5d

I'm not an artist, I have no desire to be one, I rarely get the urge to get commissions except when I get pangs of envy from seeing others enjoy that mode of self-expression. I get deeply distressed over the idea of flattening myself into a 2 dimensional character that people can consume.

MaeveDX @maevedx.bsky.social · 5d

This articulated a lot of complex feelings I have about being a furry. I've been a furry for about 10 years now, and have always struggled to engage with the community.

Part of that is lingering anxiety from bullying, but I think part of that is how commodified the modes of social interaction feel.

Really really really good read. I live for philosophical analysis of the furry fandom

Really pretty! Your pen lines especially on the face are looking very confident. Love the shading too.

Rena-Abby on an Autumn day.

Everyone with a Poke-sona has been drawing their digi-sonas ever since the new thing came out. Might as well join the crew.

This was done with 1 single pen. I like doing this drawing with just 1 type of brush, and I love these sketching brushes.

Literally I've got 2.5 year old demos with just a first verse and a chorus and I'm trying desperately to pull together the creative energy to finish them

MaeveDX @maevedx.bsky.social · 7d

Second verse, same as the first, a little bit first and a little bit verse

MaeveDX @maevedx.bsky.social · 7d

Second verses are my nemesis

I got my own drum kit a couple weeks ago (hooray not having to drive to my sister's house to play anymore lol) so have my first ever drum cover of Devereaux by Car Seat Headrest :D
