In terms of Aptophilia, this is probably the most basic vanilla take, but I love when large, round (usually pear shaped) characters let smaller characters use their bellies as furniture. As a picnic table, a chair, a bed... a raft The comfy utility as a green flag that they're a gentle giant 🥰

OH FOR SURE AHAHA so long as its SFW and non-romantic have a it! Also I get questions about 'Which Caudle' if you want to use me for something. Whichever's your favorite! And if you're unsure most people go with the bat as the 'Base' one.

Q: Where can I hear more of your audio, it's great? A: You would be surprised how many people are unaware I have an online store with LITERALLY 50 audios (Exactly that many wow...) that you can't hear all the way on YT? I mean...if you want... www.sibyllinesounds.com/new-products

Also...weak spot for this lion mopping from an old Screen Song cartoon... HA it's just so cute as a visual gag...and handy...

Also if you want formative ones as far as 'Favorite'... AHAHA What if someone who loved you a lot could keep you completely still with their body while still having access to their hands and faculties? T-that's neat. Definitely didn't launch any polymorphic brains into mayday.

Deep cut, but this rat from Toad Patrol is neat...HA not my favorite, I could never pick a favorite it's just... You expect someone to grab the rope with the *Front* of their body... But then, if the back's stronger I suppose that's a sensible choice...

#aptoapril is coming up on the first! What are some of your favorite Aptophilia moments? Apto can be a bit 'You know it when you see it' and the various sorts of aptofocus (What part of the unusual body activate neurons) can be varied! What bits of animation light up your apto-brain?

I pull on the hem of my "I HEART APTOPHILIA" shirt that fails to cover my round scaly belly, while looking at Dan the donkey, who is struggling to put his hooves through the sleeves... (note to self: don't buy same size matching T-shirts for dragons and donkeys... what was I thinking?)

The stretched and split remains of my “I HEART APTOPHILIA” shirt over my draconic snout (it was never gonna make it past my horns, neck, claws, or wings, honestly I’m not sure what I was thinking).

With the approaching #AptoApril, I wonder about frog aptophilia. I suppose frog individuals would want to live in fairly humid houses. Maybe have a body of water in their house, for mental benefits?

Witch hat Atelier>Most magical school nonsense in general. I'd give that a crack!

Curiosity in Trees by Hope Doe

You know, that's a great idea...

I will say the scent constructs are one of the most useful powers I occasionally have... I can read at any angle in perfect comfort, though the scent gets a little stronger when I do...still, I find it pleasant, and you might too if you read in the same room... 🎨 @mousenoises.art

Weh... Yesterday was a bit of a wash, my sleep schedule's been super weird since the last shift. HA skunks tend to be crepuscular, bordering on nocturnal, but I am fighting to remain sensible in sleep times. Feeling better today! Back on track...

This seems like a cute word for a head-in-the-clouds skunk in particular...

To all my black furries! I’m trynna graduate from Morehouse College this semester but I need your help! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

Does anyone know anything about getting custom bags/clothes/things of that ilk? HA my birthday's in July, and I've always struggled with finding a small bag, that's not as big as a laptop case, but not as small as a purse, for all my gear... A custom bookshop messenger bag...

*The skunk finishes a chapter of a cozy book and looks to his side, seeing his tail draped there like a heavy, opulent blanket. He hefts his hands under it and pulls it into his arms like hoisting up a large dog and nuzzles his fluff with a happy chuff-squeak* I love my tail....

Happy Birthday @dragoneer.bsky.social We wish you could see how we've grown. We love and miss you every day. Art by: @dragonpatches.bsky.social www.furaffinity.net/view/57769742/

Despite mopey moods, I do enjoy being a skunk... AHAHA I find such a kinship amid the people who pick the pattern of a stripe as their banner. Many species have comradery, but I find the connection between mephitis particularly lovely and am honored when I am among their number.

*Glances at the internet in regards to a recent trailer* ... YeahDon'tWatchThat *A skunk reaches into his tail and pulls out a much better book* Have you tried Discworld? I promise it's literally impossible for the author to disappoint you.

Should I see Project Hail Marry? HA I've been futzing with scifi lately and it seems really good. I've heard it described as 'Hopecore' and if there is any core I am here for...

The raccoon waddles up to the stand for the "I love aptophilia" shirts jumping up and down trying to grab the xtra small to fit his body, landing flat on their duff with a huff, he lifts a bit up from his tail as he reaches and snatches a shirt, leaving a heafty tip.

Aptophilia. That is all.

This seems like a cute word for a head-in-the-clouds skunk in particular...

I feel like I should do a VR event that's just listening to music and talking sometime HA I always do it to watch something and by the time whatever we're watching is over my social battery's at a -6 so I scurry off...

Bunny in a well-fitting "I HEART APTOPHILIA" shirt and looking really snazzy and cool Her massive taur half just has a bedsheet tossed over it though...

*The skunk gets up at 5am though the store opens at 8. He washes his face and brushes his teeth....then brushes his back....then brushes his hips...then looks back at at tail taller and broader than he is. It is 5:15am and he knows how the rest of the time will be spent...*

ai has jeopardized the livelihoods of myself, my husband and my peers, enriched the worst people, and enshittified every aspect of our lives from the cost of goods, the health of our communities, and our ability to think. ai can get fucked.

I am reshares my GoFundMe again. With recent dental issues that came up, that jeopardizes my ability to do PT and treat the spine injury as well at the same time. Once again, if you have coin and want to help me, feel free to, but don't feel obligated to. www.gofundme.com/f/help-gaby-...

I wonder if I DM'd some of those plunderphonics artists I like if they'd let me put their music in Onyx's radio show?...HA Calm and Clawed Beats is a series only I and like...five people like, but I'd be so honored... AHAH I feel like such a weirdo barging into normal spaces though. 🎨Chukazoo

*The clerk, at closing, settles into the book nook. He curls his massive banner of a striped tail into his arms and hugs it close, a teddy bear of a trail behind him. ... Knowing no one's looking...he buries his big nose between his white stripes and takes a deep sniff. He likes his smell...*

Skunks listen to a lot more Good Kid than you'd expect... The whiney boyband vibes speak to my stripe...

HA to have something in time for #kaaday have this old random thing I made off of a lovely sketch by @verdanraccoon.bsky.social circa 2021 HA. It was such a cute sketch I couldn't help myself, though the sound design is VERY minimal. @huskydocherty.bsky.social provides additional kaa lines.

OKAY SO As per usual I have realized, when swinging at a 48 hour deadline that... I made this way too big HA...and everyone would probably have a better time if I gave it an extra day or two. Though happy to announce for #kaaday and thanks to @bouncybrownbear.bsky.social for making it possible!

#KaaDay whoops

*The clerk is very mindful of his fluffy tail, it almost seems like a massive pet he has to apologize for, always glancing behind to make sure no one is buffeted by his banner. When he's alone he seems almost apologetic to the appendage, petting it and whispering its lovely, despite the fear*

HA speaking of 'Big Me' from the other day I always think of this piece @bouncybrownbear.bsky.social did off of a running joke of Oreo getting bonked on the noggin with a copy of Paul Bunyan...

*The clerk's mind wanders, alone, He flicks his tail and the opacity on his scent rises, pink clouds forming shapes on the counter, a small cat goes on a great adventure through space, all in poofy scent clouds, a small play just for him. It pops as the door opens, he wafts away his daydream*

*The skunk sits at his desk at the back of the shop, a chair which seems less put upon than usual now having to deal with a massive plume of a posterior appendage bursting out the hole in the back like a towel through a mousehole. Serpentine shapes of scent slither from his tail as he writes*

Wouldn't you be so happy If only you were here To know I'm all I can be Despite all my fears I miss you oh so dearly As winter turns to spring My heart blooms ever always For special treasured things

*The skunk sits in the book nook, his tail curled to the side in a massive C, the shape of the banner is taller than you are sitting down and the cashmere crook of the limb looks incredibly inviting. He smiles sheepishly, scent shifting in intensity, noticeable, but soft.* Read with me?

HELP NEEDED Hiya! HA #AptoApril is coming up , and I'm worried its going to catch me flat footed? STILL I'd LOVE to make a new little essay to explain the term? I'd love to source new clips for it since time is short! Email [email protected] with Apto-mazing moments please!

Me trying to buy said “I love aptophilia” shirt (using my prehensile tail to hand over the cash) and the shirt is too big for my silly little body. But, I love it and walk around with it anyways attempting not to trip on the giant cloth.

GRAMMARLY GOT SO BAD YOU GUYS I have never missed an app/extension less in my life, uninstall that nonsense TODAY if you have it.

OKAY So the last Biscotti thing I made didn't take long... And something in the shop might be good for tax season coffers...HA... But can I get a snake-caudle visual asset from someone in 24 hours?... Eh...is this a bad idea?...

... I shouldn't make something with Biscotti... I totally shouldn't...
