fullybody refs for alejandro and rowan... i wish i'd used a smaller brush for alejandro's clothes but i'm not redrawing them i don't usually make my furries plantigrade but i feel it works fine for these two #originalcharacter #furry

I saw a comment about a fic with substantive evidence of AI use which read approximately this, paraphrased: "I feel vindicated because I never liked it. I thought the concept was dehumanizing and now I understand it was dehumanizing because it wasn't human." I think it's important to point out […]

been invited into my best friend's oc world to help him revamp it. one of the two main characters is pierce wixson, who i have adopted as my son. i love this crazy fat man. there is so much wrong with him but he's also a big puppy dog. a perfect character for me! #originalcharacter

first image in my oc pride series for this month. no we aren't counting the fursona one i drew for my icon matt is _technically_ demirose and masculine nonbinary/an enboy. he would never personally identify with these labels, as he refuses all identity labels […] [Original post on aethy.com]

hi, i'm tox. i'm one of aethy's admins and several of you here will know me as the staff member who touches base when people have concerns or need assistance with the site. i care a lot about my position here, and the community we've built. i'm also in a very bad position. i was homeless for […]

okay can someone tell me why people are mad about the star fox remake? the designs look great, star fox was always a semi-realistic series in style so idk why people wouldn't like them. the gameplay looks faithful to the original and also fun. i love the idea of More Story. and if the reason is […]

timelines still don't seem to automatically update but will after a refresh, and notifications seem to be back to normal. thanks for being patient with us, everyone!

today on "making art for dates that matter to me and no one else", and also on "obnoxious reminder that these guys are modern zelda ocs" luke's return to the band is pretty big news #originalcharacter

for anyone who manages to see this post: the local/explore timeline still updates, even though home timelines are struggling. you may have to manually refresh to see new posts. things will likely even out over the next few days, just manually check your posts for notes/comments and go directly […]

REMINDER: issues with notifications, timeline updates, and 500 errors are pretty much always because of issues outside of our control. or, to put it more bluntly, there is only one option we as staff do have: get more money for better servers. i was recently homeless, pervert isn't exactly […]

Looking for housing in East Pennsylvania. I'm disabled, get SSI & food stamps, can pay up to $700 in rent and own a male cat ESA. I cant drive. If you know anyone looking for a roommate and think we'd mesh well, please pass it on. #blackmutualaid #disabledmutualaid #housingaid #pennsylvania

[on callouts, and how ineffective they are] the thing about callouts is that, once in a blue moon, they're actually legitimate. the harms listed are true, evidenced, and actually dangerous. the person in question is fully responsible for what they did, and it would be ideal to make sure people […]

several days ago i got a doordash order. the guy said "enjoy" when i was expecting "have a nice night" so i, on reflex, answered "you too" a million posts about humiliating interactions of that nature flashed in my mind. i snorted, as if exasperated with myself, and threw over my shoulder […]

third break the skin cast portrait: sebastian, who is a main character now. much to his detriment i've also finished chapter 14 but it needs to be cleaned up before i post it. the lore carrd has had a bunch of updates also #originalcharacter

so, we do actually know the cause of the notification/timeline lag now, and unfortunately it remains our of our hands to fix. with luck it will die down after the holidays. i am at loathe to speak too much on our hosting, but as that is the issue here, this is your new year's reminder that you […]
