Oh wow, that's horrendous. I honestly got a knot in my stomach reading this. Please name and shame the group. We absolutely cannot tolerate this shit. What the actual fuck?!

I don't know if that counts, but as a child I bought the novelization of Leisure Suit Larry 7 from a thrift store. A couple of years later I also played the game after I found it in a gaming magazine. Might be the first (kind of) adult game I played. Or at least I cannot think of an earlier example.

I wanna subscribe to more Blues Brothers facts, please.

Yes, and they have the arrogance to match their stupidity while hiding behind a pseudo-rational facade to make them feel superior. I should know. I have lived in Germany my whole life.

Ha, I feel the same way. I'm not that good, but at least it's fun and I can bring joy to my friends when I draw then. That's worth so much to me and motivates me to keep going.

Why does that sound just like me?

Oh, I love your linework and your shading. 😍 Honestly makes me wish to learn how to do traditional artwork myself.

Oh, very cute. Absolutely in love with it.

But I'm still hesitant to share my thought process since I still cannot see myself as a peer, only an enthusiastic fan. Maybe that insecurity is something that will get better the more I learn and the more I develop my skills, but right now I'm just not sure. Who would want to hear my thoughts?

What I often do with an artwork that I really like is I analyze it, in part to appreciate every little detail, but also to learn from it and improve my own artwork (I try at least. Not sure, if it helps). I do it quietly since I'm still a beginner in search of their own style.

Metallica and Rammstein.

And besides Mastodon there is also wafrn, which integrates both the protocols for Bluesky and the Fediverse into one Tumblr-like interface. And since wafrn support ATProto, it is apparently pretty easy to migrate your followers and posts from Bluesky. Could be worth checking out. wafrn.net

I personally am on bark.lgbt and I really like it there.

Wait, that's real? I thought that was a shitpost.

"Trans furries are furries before they are trans."

The fuck I am! Who does she think she is, the identity police? Both identities are equally as important to me and I will not let anyone take that away from me. Honestly kinda pissed right now.

I never had a chip butty, but poutine is honestly just disgusting to me, so I guess chip butty wins by default.

YES. Exactly what I wanted to answer. Such a shame that it still is stuck in limbo and that the chances for anything NOLF are basically zero.

I try my best. Some things just don't work for me. Last week I tried to do makeup and it was kinda shit. ^^ Maybe because I didn't do it right or maybe because it's not for me. I guess that's also part of the process to see what works for you and what doesn't.

For me it's just I don't know how to do femininity. It doesn't help that every trans woman I meet makes it just seem so natural (because of course it is for them). It just makes me feel like a phony.
