how it feels to show someone your oc

i really want next year to be like. a return to form for the community aspect of sites like this. less fear, more acceptance, more general enjoyment of things. there are no furry influencers, just talk to people and share what you like. comment on things! let folks know you enjoy what they make.

*strained, winded party blower sound*

Man... it feels so basic to say, but Peak really did rock my world. I'd come home to it after work, crank the difficulty, put on my headphones to nothing but game audio and immerse myself in a solo climb. Just me, the mountain, and my wits. The relief of a successful climb hit sooo good every time.

If it sucks today, and it sucks tomorrow, and it sucks the next day, and sucks next week, and sucks next month, I keep going, and maybe eventually, it won't suck, but that shit doesn't happen if I give up. It's easier said than done. It is. But man, I've got to keep going. And I hope you do, too🍀

Current mood: Connor O'Malley having a mental breakdown in a busy NY street because the internet sucks now

Looks like the world might finally be catching up to Connor O'Malley, but just wait until they find out about Burlington Coat Factory

"This year, you: -Hyperfixated on a single new album (again) -Hyperfixated on the same exact shit as the last 3 years Have a good 2026-- George Clanton looks forward to seeing you on the next tour. Again." I uh, recommend Ninajirachi?

I believe I speak for everyone when I say fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck

Nobody comments on this dang site and it makes me feel like a total dweeb every time I do NORMALIZE NICE COMMENTS

it don't matter

Feel like this needs to be spread around. Artwork by @/simple_nicks on twitter.

Oh, update! I've confidently finalized my sculpt (...maybe except the nose) and lining has begun! Eyes are done and kinda look like sweet sunglasses... *takes notes* I have the rest of the liner patterned and cut, now it's just a matter of sewing it up. And then... we're furring.

I miss Trevor Moore every day.

"This is it... if I make this duct tape dummy, it'll be the closest to having a fursuit I've ever been"

If only it were easier to find incredibly specific clips of The Daily Show from nearly two decades ago, I could pull up Jon Stewart saying "more airtight than an otter's anus", a phrase that has stuck with me ever since and associated him in my head with the furry world more than I'd have wished

I love video games.

Correction: I hold exactly one opinion on the matter

I actually have no opinion on the NYC mayoral election-- it would be almost completely uninformed-- I just know I'd have voted Mamdani because it's the weirder option and it's about time things got weirder

If we can run but we can't hide, then I just hope we can reach a point where the AI spotlight is reserved for its use as a creative force multiplier Like if you're just one person and you wanna dance and turn the world into Inception land I say go for it dude

henlo

Mildly paralyzed finalizing my sculpt on the head with the finish line in sight, but I have a trip to the fabric store lined up for the afternoon so I can buy the lycra needed to force my own hand in time for sewing the lining. Speaking of forcing my hand, ain't no going back from this one...

Fall is here

I'd always heard how there's no arbitrary threshold for considering yourself a "doer" in any creative act (if you write, you're a writer, etc) It felt hard to relate to, but dozens and dozens of hours later I'm undeniably a fursuiter/maker and it genuinely boggles my mind, imposter syndrome is real

'Sup. Antlers aren't break-away sadly (break-away motion I wanted also breaks when I shake my head no, whoops) but ARE secure and the magnets keep them oriented properly every time. Gonna truncate them a bit to get them closer to the head, them bitches OUT THERE. Proper ears and final sculpt next!

I think I'm actually doing this?? (Apologies to Teysa, I swear the antlers are super light ;w;)

Antler mounts are looking promising! Gonna finish the job balls deep in the best Essential Mix (yeah I said it), two cinematic hours encapsulating my favorite era of EDM

mmnhh

Ambitious antler proof of concept! I'm 6'5" and have no intention of compromising on my antlers... nor of damaging doorways. I need a sturdy mount for antlers that can safely break away if they're stopped and I am not. Mounted correctly, these stand to only break from the front. On to prototyping!

Stalled on the sculpt making anxious micro-cuts, so I made some rudimentary ears to give context to the face and I think that's what I needed to finish? The next cuts are scary but it has to be done... And then some very, very ambitious antlers :X

From scratch. One night. Deliberately oversized; easier to subtract than to add. Muzzle's getting pared down a ton, jaw shaped to match, cheeks sucked in to look less like those little green dudes who pop out of the ground and shoot at you in Ape Escape. I'm thinking we're back.

Times have been turbulent for me, but Anthro New England is in 4 months, life is short, and I have only this year come to know what I want. Looking back on my first attempt impressed me; gonna hop back on my fursuit grind this weekend. Applications for accountabili-buddies are open. I can do this.

With the world so out of my hands and feeling so spiritually detached from it all, I find comfort in artists with optimistic existentialist takes, chief among them Tetsuya Mizuguchi "Someday the next great emigration will occur, as we leave this existence looking for another."

I didn't know it at the time, but this was the REAL reason my credit card's saved on bandcamp because that purchase wasn't even REMOTELY a decision
