Now I’m thinking about how my pagan beliefs affect my interest in the Primes as toys, and how I’m much more interested in having toys of Primes associated with domains I care about. The Goddess of Building Things? I’m in. The God of Just Being Very Good or Something? Eh. I’m *tempted* by the […]

You ever stare at the page while in the middle of drawing a character, and get the sudden urge to scoop them out of the drawing and cuddle them like a plushie?

I'm happy to take this opportunity to share this awesome pamphlet made by @xerxes.gay

If my memory serves these have been distributed since at least well over a decade ago.

"Fandom" has always rubbed me the wrong way in relation to furries. The distinction does matter.
FURRY IS NOT A FANDOM How we became radicals, punk rockers, rebels, and a revolutionary subculture without even trying. FANS OF WHAT? We haven't been about Bugs Bunny since the 80's. Comic fandom, Star Trek fandom, video game fandom, they all revolve around the output of an industry. Furry grew out of the absence of corporate products catering to our needs. We weren't happy just watching Disney and Looney Tunes over and over again. So we made our own culture. Furry is not a fandom. It's a scene. We're old-school punk rock, not the Bieber Fan Club. We create our own characters, our own identities, our own images, our own stories. Fandoms have creativity, but it's all riffing off of a product dictated from above. Furry is bottom-up. Everything comes from our ideas, our roleplaying, our experiences, and our culture that we create. Any furry who rises up and attains some kind of celebrity status does just that: they rise up. From us. Those big-name authors and comic artists who sell books at cons are all writing fan fiction of our brains. In a fandom, the fans are there because of the big names. In furry, it's the other way around, and the big names know it. You can go up to almost any "celebrity" furry and make friends the same way you would with any other fur. We're a scene. A culture. A community. A big, global family. There's nothing wrong with fandom, but don't call furry one. Because it's so much more. ANTI-CONSUMERISM In the furry economy, mass-produced products aren't the star of the show. Most of our money isn't spent buying stuff, it's spent creating stuff. We commission artwork, but not to hide it in a bookcase. We put it online to share with the world. Every commission is one furry buying a gift for the whole community. The art gets produced, and now it's there for everyone to enjoy. Even conbadges and avatars - the most utilitarian, "fashion accessory" form of furry art - tend to end up contributed to the commons. Most economies are powered by the idea of replicating a product and selling it over and over again to different consumers. Furry art operates in a radically different way, through making individual contributions to the common wealth of our culture. Think about how subversive that is. Think about how threatening that idea could be to the elite 1% if we could make the whole world run that way. As furries, we're already living it. PACK MENTALITY As furries, we're not afraid to love each other. We'll cuddle no problem, sometimes without even needing to know each other. In public, no less. We can spend a good portion of our convention time just turning off our brains and enjoying the raw, primal feeling of companionship with relative strangers. We never shake hands when we meet new people. It's always a hug. This pervasive feeling of love is what helps us build such a strong community. Local furry groups often become close-knit extended families. We form bonds stronger than blood relation. We put the camraderie of church and religious groups to shame. By putting ourselves into an animal state of mind, we manage to shake off heaping layers of civilization and social conditioning weighing down on us, and connect with each other on a level that's almost unheard of in modern society. SEXUAL LIBERATION Furries aren't afraid to celebrate our sexuality. We're not ashamed of it, like so much of mainstream society. We don't think it's weird to be gay, bi, or straight; to be monogamous, open, or polyamourous; to be reserved about sex, or to be as open as a porn star. We're picking up where the free love hippies of the 60's left off. We challenge the traditional social order about sexuality, rejecting the idea that there's anything "unacceptable" about it. What society might normally condemn as debauchery or pornography, we celebrate as beauty. For some of us, our animal identities are a major part of exploring our own sexuality. For others, only the openness of our community is a factor. But as furries, we all tend to have a much more positive, healthy view of sexuality than the rest of the world. We know that sex is human, it's animal, it's human-animal. FURRY IS RADICAL. FURRY IS SUBVERSIVE. FURRY IS REVOLUTION. We have no audience, because we're all the creators. We have no idols, because we're all on the same level. We have no inhibitions, because love is beautiful. We have no consumerism, because we're all producers. LET'S EMBRACE OUR NATURE AS MISFITS AND REBELS. FURRY PRIDE. SMASH THE MUNDANE. SHARE THIS PAMPHLET WITH ANOTHER FURRY AT THIS CON WHO YOU HAVE NEVER MET. SPREAD THESE IDEAS TO YOUR FRIENDS AND DISCUSS THEM ONLINE. FEEL FREE TO MAKE COPIES OF THIS PAMPHLET AND DISTRIBUTE THEM AT YOUR NEXT CON.

Sonic and Zelda sharing a pocky kiss :ablobcatheart: Though she's unfamiliar with what he's asking for, she catches on pretty quickly!

Four panel comic where Sonic the Hedgehog and Princess Zelda share a pocky kiss. Panel 1: Sonic sits next to Zelda with a stick of Pocky in his mouth. He taps her hand to get her attention, looking up at her expectantly. Zelda looks confused, indicated by a question mark pointing to her. Panel 2: Sonic points from the end of the Pocky stick to the other end in his puckered lips. A cartoon heart comes from him. A chibi Zelda blushes in the corner of the panel. Panel 3: Zelda leans forward, taking her end of the Pocky in her mouth and looking at Sonic with half-shut eyes. Sonic blushes even deeper as he realizes a kiss is imminent. Panel 4: They have finished the Pocky and are now meeting in the middle by kissing. Their eyes are shut, Sonic's spines are flared out as Zelda rests her finger under his chin, pulling him deeper into the kiss.

Anyone ever notice how when you see someone carrying a random ship tag all by themself it's inspiring and heartwarming, but gets kind of sad and lonely when it's you doing it for yours?

My thoughts on quote posting are that I just don’t want it to skew the Fediverse to the “Look what this asshole just said!” behavior that’s rampant elsewhere, because look, I do not want to know what that asshole just said, that asshole is not worth my attention or time. But people have already […]

Optimus Prime always approves of romantic human-Transformer relationships

#maccadam #transformersg1 #shitpost #transformerxhuman #powerglidexastoria
Screenshot from the Transformers G1 cartoon. Optimus Prime looks on as Powerglide, a Transformer, crouches and receives a kiss on the faceplate from Astoria, a human woman. This references a post on another site in which Batman watches a furry couple holding hands, with a similar caption.

Sonic and Zelda's wedding (WIP)

Never thought I'd be drawing Sonic and Zelda's wedding, but I saw a silly Sonelise wedding picture on my RSS feed and could not rest until I had replicated it for my other Sonic ship. My sister's already making a Shadamy […]

Sketch of Sonic and Zelda standing side by side. Sonic is pointing his thumb at Zelda and making a cutesy smirk. Zelda is saying "Yeah!" while pointing at the ring on her hand. She's wearing a wedding dress, half-drawn with long, flowy sleeves.

I bought sooooo many #transformers today at #tfconchicago, but they were all worth it. At least half of them were new lady bots for that shelf, and would have gotten more if money were REALLY no object.

Anyone got any Sonic x Rouge fanfiction recs? I saw some art for the ship on Deviantart, now I'm curious as to how a relationship might work between them.

The main thing that comes to mind is how they're both pretty free-spirited, living by their own rules (except Sonic does that by foiling […]

It cracks me up how obvious it is in some Smash Bros fics that Master Hand is just the author’s self-insert, ordering characters to do things for no reason other than to create an optimal environment for their ship to happen.
