Colorful Wolfcoon! Traditional Comic Artist/Illustrator. No AI!

My comic stories intended for mature audiences, not recommended for minors. Due to mature visual art storytelling, horror with blood gore, Furry TF, etc. https://linktr.ee/antiquityvarmint
Heh yes, I hope my friend found it funny as we did xD. I think he feels really complicated about it years later. But hey, we were only children back before xD.

The fictional crime TV shows (It's haunting visuals) I saw as a child wasn't x-files, but X-files comic books did scared me as a child xD.

Understandable, I think watching fictional Crime TV shows saved my life as a child before 9/11. Crime TV shows I saw had this weird supernatural horror vibes in a way I was traumatized for a while.

My friend was mad that 9/11 canceled his soccer practice, funnier in retrospect looking back on.

It was high school many years later when realized how haunting and bad the whole 9/11 was.

I decided on both high school shooting of 1999 story, and 9/11 completely changed society forever. Making it very difficult to make adventure comic stories with guns, etc.

Middle school was empty years. 2/2

I was fortunate in a way I wasn't traumatized by 9/11. Especially I was in elementary when happened, so my family, friends, teachers, etc allowing me be a child being happy not understanding.

I viewed 9/11 more on same levels as fiction TV crime shows that's "normal scary", myself staying happy 1/2

The social media is unfortunately designed to take unfair advantage of our minds. Keeping ourselves far away from the whole real life privacy care more.

Most people don't have good memory on what they do and what they did. Increasing worrying digital use instead of primary life care.
November 16, 2025 at 6:22 PM
To add context, right now social media use is very poorly designed. The use of social media is very deeply undereducated. Whole social media used incorrectly, been making social media as a whole becoming ill-fated.

Many people like myself will massively reduced the use of social media as a whole.
November 16, 2025 at 6:18 PM
However, while furry fandom does come off ill-fated from time to time. I strongly believe it will evolve over time. Human problems will always exist.

Its more on how social media taking unfair advantages of many people's mental health unfairly. Not only furries. Lack of privacy & self care for many

It was bizarre to see groups that used to be more free form, but now more strictly business. Due to furs deciding on living in hundreds of groups.

In retrospect, should have saw it coming. But, we were all learning new things about telegram/discord. It was great before, now it's meh. 2/2

Ah no worries, unfortunately I'm still living in rural areas since art college I finished in 2015 due to housing/rent crisis we're been having for about a decade. So the deeper conversations are still by real time messaging. Groups unfortunately declined in quality. 1/2
November 14, 2025 at 7:40 PM
Yes, still I believe face to face is still the best more realistic way to get know them more. With real time personal messaging comes second for more understanding.

Right now groups I think will make any person feel more alone. Not only myself. Most don't pay attention to groups which make sense.
November 14, 2025 at 7:20 PM
Admittedly, it's cumbersome to write within limits here xD.

I like horror/weirdness more, since they don't try to make any feel good or bad.

I think the world is more towards negative due to isolation, not only social media. When we get home from work, easier to turn off para-socialism, etc. 2/2
November 14, 2025 at 6:56 PM
When myself said real time conversations, I meant more like Telegram/discord. Since they're easier to invest time and effort into one on one.

I used to live on groups for between six to eight years, especially first six years. Left all groups in the July 2024 which turns out to be lucky timing. 1/2
November 14, 2025 at 6:52 PM
Very interesting, I don't have much of social connections with people on screens. I'm always more interested in atmospheric feel/mood of storytelling, etc. Do have cochlear implant, I'm deaf but can only hear in computer sound. So, I had to figure out on my own. Enjoy real time conversations better.
November 14, 2025 at 6:32 PM
I think there's both positives and negatives to the whole parasocial thing since between 1930's and 1990's. Because media can keep people in check. But private social life is the most important to have with real life people.

But, not social media. Even reality TV is bad. Divides people/groups. 2/2
November 14, 2025 at 6:12 PM
While understandable, easier to not underestimate or overestimate levels of intelligences/genetics. Because by end of the day, everybody wants the world to be kind.

But yes, face to face in life is far more important. Social media is basically power fantasy. Which is what makes ai dangerous. 1/2
November 14, 2025 at 6:08 PM
Hmm yes, I know even myself can make all too common mistakes sometimes. Despite what levels on Intelligences/genetics are.

Most of the time the social media can be self isolating. Which is how furry/non-furry fandoms. Becomes popular the way they are. Being safe spaces not having to think properly.
November 14, 2025 at 3:13 PM
What I learned the most. Is how both furries & non-furries being painfully average.

Is how they react and how they feel. When something they couldn't understand/feel. They don't talk things out to rework things out more. They're more reactionary, only look out for their own self interests more. 2/2
November 14, 2025 at 2:48 PM
I used to believe many furries would be open to understanding & complex conversations when I was from 23 to 30 joined furry fandom. Slowly becoming clear not really.

Spent lot of time reading levels of Intelligences/genetics from books/online during early 30's. Realized most people are average 1/2

@alteredzangy.bsky.social I'm sure Zangy here will definitely love this idea xD.
