Bro you can’t give up. You were born in a world that has onions AND garlic. You gotta hang in there it's worth it

reflecting on this again

Happy Splaturday c:

After a lot of consideration, I think cows might be the funniest animal. They are also probably the most embarrassing animal to be/dress as. Therefore, it follows that cows are the hottest animal. Ah you can’t follow my logic? You’re asking me to leave? How did I get in here? All good questions

Friday Funday, time to stream! #DuinoIsLive Sometimes all it takes is a name comprised of two of your favorite words and ten seconds of gameplay to make you say "oh yeah I'm gonna broadcast this to strangers." It's MEGABONK!!!! Live now, starting soon! C'mon and toon in! www.twitch.tv/duinoduck

Unfortunate update: I got one reply, to which I gave more details and booked. Got there today & the staff had no idea what a fursuit was, no idea who I was, and basically said “this idea is stupid, we can’t do that.” “Rose on Yelp said it would be easy.” “Who is Rose?” …I think I got AI chatbot’d.

Skunk JD (Bonus art) "Welcome to Toon Town! It's swell to meetcha!" JD accidentally stumbled into Toon Town and transformed into a big toon skunk! JD belongs to @mexicansoda.bsky.social Smacky belongs to @mainmandarin.bsky.social Smunky belongs to @tooniestskunk.bsky.social #Skunktember

Solved a tricky Excel formula question faster than the “let’s ask AI for everything” person in my office today

Having two monitors is so useful. For example, on one I can have a feed of current events, and on the other, I can be reading a WikiHow article titled “How To Unhinge Your Jaw And Devour The Flesh & Soul of Those That Have Wronged You”

Taking notes through a particularly dry work meeting while repeatedly refreshing “count jester job openings” in my browser and sighing at the blank results page

International Fox Day, huh... 🎩🦊🧪

Got a special greeting from Skunky Skunk this #Skunktember, he's just like on TV!

My Dad has started responding to closing texts with this. I made a joke about autocorrect being overzealous, but he told me it was intentional. “I want to make sure [Aura] is included.” 🥺🥹

Coyotes are a good animal because they answer the age-old question “what if a dog was sharp”

I’m going to keep giving myself things to look forward to and planning small adventures and giving myself little treats. I WILL be happy and I will make those around me happy. I will strip mine every inch of dopamine I can get my wings on and then I will burst through the bedrock and keep going

I love the internet so much. I love living in a world where I can easily collaborate with the freaks like me

*kicking my legs and sighing dreamily* clowns 😌

I need an alteration done for Smacky's clothing, so I looked up a local tailor. "Contact via Yelp." Oh, easy! Didn't realize Yelp then blasts that message out to *every* result listed. So now I'm the guy who contacted eleven local businesses with "please help me accommodate my big skunk tail"

Skunk-a-day #15 - Sandalwood “Smacky” Skunk Incoming pie!!! Whoever's throwing a pie at Smacky seems to have a good aim! Smacky belongs to @mainmandarin.bsky.social #Skunktember

As quickly as I've drawn my blade, I'm behind you sheathing it. You feel nothing. You're... unharmed! This is cause for celebration! Why, you could go out and unironically consume the media your friends said was lame! You gasp in realized horror. I've perfectly severed the part of you that cringes

What if you were nice to ducks and called them cute and made them feel validated

Going through Twin Peaks for the first time. Me too, Agent Cooper.

oof 💣

I'm streaming!! On the internet!! And you can watch! #DuinoIsLive Tonight is a good night for shaking a sword in the general direction of some skeletons. Maybe hitting them with some lightning bolts. Either way I'm gonna hurt 'em Live now, starting soon! C'mon and toon in! www.twitch.tv/duinoduck

Society should have never progressed past Toontown Online. And by that I mean society should be structured exactly like Toontown Online

*pops out of your phone, plants a big toony Bugs Bunny-style smoooooOOOOCH on your face, honks your nose, and disappears back into your phone*

Having a stressful day at work but then I remembered my fursona is super hot and suddenly I’m impervious to all damage

I believe in silly women. I believe in goofy girls. I think it's cute when a female stooge giggles before hitting me with a frying pan. I think it's even cuter when they giggle after I hit them with a frying pan

came to a terrible realization today

Working with artists rules because you get to call upon their grim abilities to give the little freaks that torment your thoughts a tangible form in the corporeal realm and they get to buy groceries

You gotta understand: I’m silly to my core. I’m never not wanting to talk about throwing dozens of pies in your face. If you’re the slightest bit toony, I wanna get into a fight in a bakery. You might think “But Duino, you talk about that a lot!” I do. I’m still holding back. I’m so brave

I'm streaming!! On the internet!! And you can watch! #DuinoIsLive It's September 8th, which means one thing: it's Halloween!! So I'm getting in early with a game about vampires I know nothing about! it's SYMPHONY OF THE NIGHT Live now, starting soon! C'mon and toon in! www.twitch.tv/duinoduck

At dinner with my parents as my father turns to me. “So is [Aura] a skunk now?” “…what?” “I saw it on your brother’s Instagram. Some kinda skunk in your house?” “Oh. No, that’s me.” Mom interjects. “I thought you were a duck.” “I have multiple guys!” “Oh.” She then resumes talking about coupons

*experiencing a level of world weariness usually reserved for stories from the Bible* yeah I can have the reports done by end of day

“I’m going to clown camp next summer” sounds like a pretty normal Duino sentence. But, I need to emphasize: that this is a program I’ve wanted to attend since I was 15 and could never make work. Until now! And I’m SO excited!! So, again, with context: I’m going to clown camp next summer. 🎉

They should invent a new delivery service app except instead of fast food, it makes a possum show up at your house that you can gently pet for a little while. The target demographic is me literally right now. I expect to make thirty million dollars

Your soul is made up of two forces in constant but equal opposition. One is the desire for fursuits to be nice and flirty with you. The other is the desire for fursuits to be really mean to you. How this balance shifts defines who you are as a person

Thanks, Duck! He should be in your mailbox in about 3-5 business days. Chirrp!

After many explosions, custard pies, and wooden hammers to the face, I finally flattened ol’ Sandalwood “Smacky” Skunk. Now to mail ‘em back to @mainmandarin.bsky.social #skunktember #skunktember2025 #flattening

🧠: Huh! I think that weed gummy is kicking in a little harder than expected. Wanna say something profound before you experience your consciousness physically turning into scattered grains of sand? 🦆: every cartoon squirrel should team up and form a Legion of Doom dedicated to kicking my ass

I don’t need a 401K or an insurance-based FSA or whatever the hell a ROTH-IRA is. I need Slappy Squirrel to be real and I need her to be my neighbor and I need her to make fun of/foil me constantly with a subtle but present implication that we’re best friends

It's Friday!! Which means Stream Day!! #DuinoIsLive It's PREY!! For the final time! I'm on the home stretch! Cleaning up some sidequests and then escaping into the cold vacuum of space I think!! Live now, starting soon! C'mon and toon in! www.twitch.tv/duinoduck

OH MY GOD??? The download is dead?? THIS IS THE BEST NEWS EVER HEY GO READ MY STORIES!! YOU JUST CAN NOW!! www.furaffinity.net/user/plotsbu...

*leans in* would anyone going to FurPoc have some extra room space? Ideally for two? Some plans changed and I'd like to go, but I haven't been lucky on refreshing the room block!

happy #Skunktember

My boss expressed concern about my eyes being red and I had to explain that everything was fine, I’d just gotten so emotional about a video of baby ducks swimming in a pool that I cried a little bit
