#and like. im trying to adjust things for specific kids and specific needs but that isnt FEASIBLE when youre teaching 30+ kids a week

[krumbaphant]

i am having multiple students not improving or struggling at school and i am doing my best but my best isnt enough

[doubleca5t]

this might sound terfy but its not im a trans dude, how do amab queer people go about unlearning the misogyny youre taught as a kid? as someone who is afab, i had that whole girl power thing before i Understood and i think a lot of us naturally unlearn some sexism because were on the receiving end of it. rn im dating an amab enby and they seem to treat me like a straight wife sometimes. i pick up after them and they wont make adjustments to our home so i can be more comfortable. i tried to talk to them about all of this and they told me they need help understanding whats a normal way to treat a partner and whats outwardly just plain mean. it makes me feel like im a mother of a small child who doesnt understand empathy. in your experience is there some kind of break through with a socially masculine childhood or is it something you find that you learn through the process of transitioning? or something else entirely? again, im not trying to be bioessentialst like gentials are morally neutral but theres a reality that being told youre a boy your whole childhood in a patriarchal society affects how you treat others (you in the general sense not like you specifically, lots of love and respect)

anon imma keep it real with you I think your partner is just kind of an asshole like having to unlearn behavior like that is NOT a universal amab experience they're just taking advantage of you

Could I please request hc or a drabble about Cove as a new parent with a female MC? Thank you! ❤️

its your lucky day (aka you've asked smth ive been thinking abt for days LOL) bc ive written hc's and drabbles <333 although mostly messy hc's that are in no coherent order also I think I will come back n write more coherent n specific scenarios bc I have sm thoughts on cove through parenthood.... pls tysm for this ask I hope it's satisfactory bc i wrote in order of my thoughts LOL

tags : fluff, AFAB reader, after step 3/wedding dlc, "options" for 1 or 2 babes (if you hc triplets im praying for u🙏), no gender mention of the babe/s, birth surrogacy n adoption are up for imagination but pregnancy/surrogacy is most implied altho i think you could imagine adopting a baby before they're born bc ik some ppl do that

synopsis : how cove acts when you have your first kid & a bit on how he is raising them with you <3

many many candid shots of cove holding the baby

PLEASE tell me someone recorded near the end of the birth/when they brought you the babe

he's crying. no matter what he's crying his fuckin eyes out

if you're giving birth please either have him wait outside n come in to cut the cord at the end bc he might faint

if you do have him in the room he'll be on his best behavior. will try his best not to worry too much bc he knows it could stress you out

(I'm thinking abt this video I saw where the wife said her husband fainted n fell back into this rolly office chair n just rolled to the back of the room into the dark side (it was apparently a long room lollll))

if you're in for a long labor or it's pretty short he's more calm bc either it's over before he can freak out or it's so fuckin long he's over it LOL

he's more of a solid, physical support than anything else because he's not too good with words but also he dosn't want you to feel pressured, annoyed, or smth with constant "you got this!" "its okay!" as you're pushing out a whole human, its not a simple task

[video 1]

COVE: so little... COVE: (looks at his mom/dad) are they supposed to be this small? (watery laugh)

is very scared to hold the babe, he's a big guy, with or without the muscles so he's always gentle with them even once they get bigger

definitely texts his dad during the pregnancy/surrogacy/adoption process "I hope i can be a good dad like you"

cliff getting a text from cove at 3am: "ty for raising me idk how you did it omg"

cliff is crying n flying over there immediately

!!!! if you need someone to help you adjust cliff is on the fuckin way!!! you can't even finish asking bc he's alrdy here, whatever you need guys!!!!

but if you want to be alone to bond w the babe or you hire a professional to help with the transition then he or your moms will come over and clean up, prepare food, and allows you to come home and not worry about getting things done.

dies if the kid has his hair color or eyes, like at first he just finds it crazy that he's a dad n that he has a lil spawn of his own

also lots of pictures of cliff playing w the babe/s

we all know cove can be lazy with his hair, but he doesn't want his kid going to school w crazy hair so he learns

at first it looks like a mess

n if you keep your hair short or can only do smth simple, its time to call your ma or lee for help LOL

imagine cove standing by your ma as she's showing him how to braid... so sweet

cove is tip-toeing through the house, trying to shake off his outside clothes quietly and when he walks back into the room after brushing his teeth he's greeted with the sweet sound of his baby's giggle

you are sound asleep.

you and the other babe are sound asleep.

he shushes the baby, easing himself into the bed. suddenly he thinks that spending all that money on this big bed was worth it, especially with the way his achy body sinks into it.

"cove?..."

he reaches over the babe/s. "sorry.. did I wake you?"

you hum, it's not a yes or a no, just a sleepy sound and he laughs at how out of it you are even though you're trying to fight it, stroking your face and carding his fingers through your hair.

"I love you.. thank you." he whispers. this moment is so delicate. he worries a bit that if he speaks too loud it'll be gone and he'll wake up in his teenage bedroom, staring at the bottom of his scratched up bunk bed.

"f'what?" you blink slowly.

"for everything..." he grins softly, thinking about that night

of your wedding, when you told him you wanted kids with him.

after the ORCA fundraiser dinner, when you asked him if he imagined having kids with you.

"we made it. that future we talked about..."

you smile softly, more awake now. "thanks for making it with me."

he laughs, muffins his face in the pillow and resting a hand on the baby, willing them not to wake. "how can you thank me for that?"

you grin, more sleepy than anything but still full of mischief.

"how can you thank me for getting me pregnant?" you giggle at your husband's flustered face.

"how can you thank me for being here like I promised years later?" you tease, bringing up night of the fundraiser.

cove flushes, burying his face in the babies hair instead of answering you.

he puts an arm around you, careful of the little one/s between you. "just go to bed..."

gb lady said cove is sahd material.....

omg he makes them lunch always, or he at least helps you make lunch because his cooking skills are a bit limited and they'd prbly have star shaped sandwiches and applesauce everyday

HE HAS A THING TO PUT THE BABE IN WHILE HE DOES HOUSE SHIT

your kids are definitely cuddles bc of him, he always picks em up, and if he doesn't have a carrier than he'll make a makeshift one out of a blanket.

omg imagine him and the kid/s at the dining table crying tryna figure out the homework

"its getting worse y/n!!!" "what the fuck is common core math?!" "babe call the teacher, something is missing here..."

if you're bad at math or smth too than you're all fucked n your kid/s AND COVE are facetiming his dad for a long distance tutoring lesson

he's reading them books every night

HE gets upset when it doesn't happen

"babe we gotta turn around, I only read them 5 books we're gonna be gone 6 nights."

FaceTime them every night you're away just the two of u

falls asleep w the kids in the weirdest positions

why is there a princess crown on his head and where did the face paint come from????

spoils the kid/kids. you're gonna go bankrupt please stop!!!

when your kid/s finally graduate n move out on their own, he thanks his dad for raising him and teaching him how to be the best dad.

also thanks you for just being amazing n reassuring him whenever he worried abt doing something wrong

if you have more than 1, he's a master by baby 2/3

COVE: (holding fresh baby, whispering) ....why is it so red

raising you kid/s w cove is tough at first, cove worries about doing some wrong or failing as a parent.

and he did eventually admit he was worried about raising his kid/s in a "broken" home. his parents did their best! and he loves them, but the split was hard for him and he doesn't want them to go through the same feelings.

every day is a new experience in your house to say the least

I imagine it's filled w lots of worry, love, and tears

COVE N HIS KID/S HAVE A CRY COUNT

(cove is losing somehow?! he's been out crybaby-ed)

[d3ard3ughter]

Alex survives the fight with tim but due to the fact, the severity of the injures (medical special interest at play here) he can no longer speak, Alex internalizes deserving it

Like he can live with the disability it’s not what bothers him even if it takes adjusting its the guilt

Maybe alex gets back the traveling flannel to do communication

Before he starts learning to sign

Tim feels real guilty for it and alex is also drowning in his own guilt and tim is trying ro help

Alex is pushing him away too

They’ll cuddle but alex doesn’t wanna talk

Tim will bring him paper

He’ll sign to him because hes learning too but alex is unresponsive to it for a while

And alexs just kinda in a stupor

Because whats the point of being spared after all hes done even if its for the right thing

Hes not going out of his way ro do anything to himself he doesn’t have tbe energy but he sure as fuck isn’t going out his way ro do what he needs ro as well

Tim sees bit of his younger self in alex tbere i think

It’s passive sucidial ideation and alex won’t stop any situations if they happen

Tims scared with that for a bit too

Because he’s experienced both sides of actively and not actively and he knows alex won’t actively do something but maybe even a simple task will lead to something

Hes just trying to get him to eat too

Do things

He washes his hair for him and stuff

Plus the semi-dating relationship too they have iys so hard ro explain and then alex will cry id they explain

Trying to celebrate alexs birthday

Jess comes by too

And alex has been dreading being face to face with jess and she doesn’t seem mad

Hes just scared how shes gonna look at him and why she’d wanna come by

Tim ans jess make the cake and all

They try talking

Talk about things and jay comes up and jess tries to circle bacj

And alex stops responding + amy finding tbe camera on Alex’s birthday so…No judgment with it either

Basic reminders too

“Sit up in the tub”

“Drink some water”

Tims trying his hardest

It’s never quite defined but they basically are dating despite everything

I’ve thought about that too

Its such a somber time probably

And + jess reminds him of amy and jay

Specifically disregarding all memories in general

They bring presents and all and alex just wants to curl up

Hes not made to do anything but jess’ presence just has him not having it

+her behaving so gently ro him because thats not how jess behaves and he knows its not because od the disability is just because of that fragile mental state Tim knows alex is smart too so he knows alex is liable to just let something happen

So sit up

Hes gotta sit up

Alex calls her on it and jess is also like “im still piecing stuff together and i don’t know if you’re okay with how i normally behave” But also tim knows the thought process

Tims just making sure

He sees the scarring on alexs neck when they’re cuddling too maybe he traces it and such

Alex lets him

Going out the way he make his favorite food and stuff to try and give motivation when he’s trying to get him to eat

Alex makes it a little easier because he feels bad about making tim so much when he doesn’t have to and he shouldn’t and so he doesn’t stay on his leg too long

Maybe jess tries behaving a bit (this is hc they wrre all friends as kids propaganda

normal to see how it goes but she’s treading carefully and alex just asks her why she would even wanna see him Jess also sticking with “we’re all we have left, we stick together. You aren’t just leaving me like that.”

And alex says shw shoukdnt Tim has Alex’s gun for obvious reasons

Alex still has the picture of amy under his pillow

He has a little wall of old pictures

But he refuses to touch any photo books ars film of back then

Also tim probably was the one who went out of his way to get alex ro thw hospital and alex says he should’ve left him because he wouldn’t feel like this

And why him and not jay but he doesn’t say that because he knows itd be hurtful and he doesn’t have to worry abt something slipping because he has to do it to say stuff he thinks its a blessing his mouth cant fuck shit uo anymore

And he knows it’d probably be selfish for jay to live and suffer too and to let tim know he thought that

Alex thinks he should’ve just choked on his blood and laid there

Cold like sarah

Maybe he could’ve not stabbed her stopped it or gotten her help but he let her bleed and he didn’t have to shoot jay he could’ve not

His hands were on amys neck he had control he could’ve not he couldve let go

He couldve kept seth alive

And brian wouldn’t of fallen in succession ro everything And alex wants to cry but it’s all he’s done about this and about everything in his life

But it’s his stress response and he hates it but another fic I have planned

[hexisssssssss]

What’s a twdg fanfic(s) that you really want to exist but don’t particularly want to write?

At the moment i have a few specific ideas. With two of them of course being Lilly centric (i heart my smoking hot wife 🫶). Also bare with me if theres like horrible grammar or anything is confusing, i got like 3 hours of sleep lol.

Starting with the Lilly ones, I really want to see a fic about what happened to her after she took the RV that lead her to the delta. Which im sure has been done before, but there was a few specific ideas i’d love to see. Starting at a pov of her alone in the RV while the others deal with the train, just to show the thought process that led to her stealing the RV. And i feel that she would end up tangled with a group or community a lot like Carver’s, or the 400 days group that Becca and Shel are in. And at some point that group has a confrontation with the Delta, maybe similar to Ericsons where they are looking for people to take as soldiers. And Lilly see’s some opportunity for some level of greater purpose or control/command and betrays her new found group to join the Delta. Some smaller details i’d also like to see is a moment where she makes some sort of small memorial or grave for Larry. And when she is alone in the RV just driving i like the idea of her reflecting on the spiral she had after Larry died and the action she ended up taking and feeling some guilt, but in the end doubling down. And moments like that to see where her head was at to lead to her personality change in s4.

The idea has been floating in my head for a while but at the moment i just don’t feel like starting it.

The other Lilly idea is basically a s4 rewrite but from her POV. I am not sure if this exists because i have not gone looking specifically. Starting probably a bit before s4 just to give some insight to what the delta may look like (which is the part i would find most interesting to see but also what makes me not really want to write it at the moment because it seems a bit of a daunting task to execute well.). Then having her and her group set off on the boat for Ericsons. For a specific cannon timeline i think it would work best if Lilly gets away alive in the end. I see it working as a better emotionally satisfying ending than if it just ended abruptly cause she gets shot like 50 times by a toddler lol.

I also think it would be neat to see an AU where Minerva actually ends up helping the Ericsons kids. And later ends up back at the school with them. With Louis being the one captured, because i have this idea in my mind of his “talking too much” maybe being him urging Minnie to help them and reminding her of Tenn. And when she shows a bit of a reaction/seems to falter and consider helping them, whoever is with her (probably Lilly) decides he needs to be punished/stopped and also in turn try and “scare Minnie straight”. But what Louis has said mixed with seeing Violet again, will still lead her to aid them. So the whole bridge scene will be avoided and both Vi and Tenn will be alive. AJ and Clem still get separated from everyone else and she still ends up without a chunk of her leg later. The bulk of the fic would be her adjusting to being back at Ericsons again. I have some ideas for plot lines/events:

- Trying to rebuild a friendship with Vi

- A longer Tenn reunion arc and her trying to be a sister to him again, with difficulty due to her literally fucking killing their sister before

- Feeling guilt over Louis’s injury and trying to make it up to him, leading to a friendship there

- Generally having to unpack/confront all that happened to her and that she did and get over the brainwashing

- Recovering from an injury she sustained while helping Vi with the bomb

- And these are just small things i feel would be interesting: a few interactions with a “overprotective/not jealous but angry at what she did to vi” clem and this fic would follow the violentine cannon. And AJ interactions because i feel like theres an interesting opportunity for a dynamic there or lesson for aj??? Idk lol

Would absolutely love to write that but i just think the idea is too all over the place atm and not fleshed out enough that i could really do much with it lol

And this last one is incredibly vauge lol. But i’ve seen a couple fics for mostly stuff other than twdg where it’s like based off/taking inspo from a song. And i think it would be cool asf to see that with Violentine/Clouis with like an Adrianne Lenker or Big Theif song.

[buff-muffin]

(I'm @beanghostprincess btw this is just my main acc) Please please, I need more ideas of yours for the headcanon of Sabo being deaf in one ear. Because the reblog you wrote was awesome and I desperately need more of it. Besides, I would love to make it a bit angstier and write about him struggling but I don't have any experience with this and I think your opinions would be great <3333

AAAAA IM SO GLAD YOU LIKE IT NJSDNIJSXN OK OK BUT IF YOU WANT ANGST YOU GOTTA KNOW HOW HALF DEAFNESS WORKS. I don’t mind explaining this shit so dw I’m giggling as I write this.

I will say as a like, heads up I was born deaf in one ear Sabo lost it later on so I’m not 100 right but shut up self projection whoop whoop. I can to what I want. You can at least be half right with this information.

So unlike regular deafness it’s important to note Sabo still has one perfectly working ear. An ear that works overtime.

You need two ears to be able to figure out where noises come from cause it will be slightly louder and softer in each ear ect (idk man). Sabo doesn’t have that hence why my thought of needing Koala to be a quick guide for him. Without her help, he’s just gotta look around till he figures out what made the noise. Obviously he doesn’t have to worry too much about sneak attacks n shit cause of Haki but like. A enemy transponder snail calling and Koala is gone? He’s spinning in a circle and moving his head around till the noise gets louder and he can figure out WHERE THE FUCK IT IS.

This plus a pinch of paranoia and left on his own? Delectable. Hearing noises like distant gunshots, explosions, footsteps but can’t sense anyone and can’t figure out where they are or even where to go to help? Horrifying. ESPECIALLY A YOUNGER SABO NEW TO THIS DISABILITY.

Also in social settings this can be super tiring as in loud spaces all that noise is going into one ear and can make hearing one person trying to talk to you directly nearly impossible and rather overwhelming, that’s why I find the Luffy being loud enough to hear in a crowd delightful. There’s no strain cause Luffy is just that loud. But like. Ya know, War zones are pretty loud. And when you’re reaching your stress and social battery limit and you suddenly can’t seem to hear your best friend over the sound of canonballs? I’d be pretty damn close to tears too Sabo.

Also for a short while kid Sabo was probably easily snuck up on at least till he adjusted cause he can’t tell what side people are coming from. And when you get jumpscared cause you didn’t hear someone multiple times in an hour? It makes you feel like ASS

OH!!! Another juicy thing you could use is stripping him of his sight (as in a blindfold or a dark room) and forcing him to rely on his poor hearing to navigate. He can’t hear what’s going on and when you’re stripped of your senses it’s very easy to panic since your body can’t readjust itself.

Dude there is SO MUCH ANGST TO PLAY WITH.

Anyways as a little fluff palette cleanser: The revs obviously learned to adjust to their chief of staff’s disability and Sabo’s personal transponder snail wiggles when it’s ringing so he can know it’s his snail ringing not someone else’s. Any snail given to Sabo must be trained for this.

Ok fr though I hopes this helps! Feel free to ask more about this or ask me more specific things when it comes to your writings if you’re unsure I am always happy to help!!

MOCHA'S BEST STREAM

Mocha starts her weekly stream like usual, but a wardrobe malfunction arouses her viewers' curiosity!

[breast expansion, lactation, milking, furry]

“Meowdy gamers! I’m Mocha, and this is The Mo-Show! I’m gonna jump in and play some Shaftcraft, today I thought I’d just chill and answer some Q&A while I work on my zombie farm.”

Mocha eyed her setup, making sure everything was perfect. The half-cat, half-cowgirl had soft, cream-colored fur, with a chocolate-brown spot right on her snout. Not a hair of her bangs was out of place, and her gold-blonde streak caught the glow of her ring light just right. Her white work blouse was in place, showing just the right amount of cleavage. She adjusted her posture, making sure her whole chest was in the shot.

While she was looking, a pop-up played across the top of her screen.

@moofan7 donated $1

“Thanks for the donation, friend! Remember, every dollar you donate to the stream goes to the charity of the week. Plus, every dollar gets matched by our anonymous partner. This week, it's all going to help trans kids buy new clothes!”

Mocha was fairly proud of the amount of money she raised for charity every week. She didn’t feel the need to share that the ‘anonymous partner’ was, in fact, herself.

"If you have a question, share it in the chat! If it gets 10 upvotes, I’ll answer it! Please, nothing too personal and no sexual stuff. If you do that, you’re gonna get banned. Seriously, that shit’s not cool.” A frustrating number of people online thought it was okay to ask invasive questions about her body, or try to get her to indulge their kinks on stream. Luckily, she had a great team of mods that nipped those viewers in the bud. Mocha was happy to use her attractiveness in her streams—on her terms, doing the things she wanted to do when she felt like it.

She didn’t owe her viewers anything else. Most of them respected that. Those were the ones she was streaming for, and the ones who made streaming something she looked forward to.

“Alright, first question! ‘Can we ask about demihuman stuff?’ Absolutely, just be respectful.”

These were some of the more common questions she got in her Q&A sessions. Sometimes it got on her nerves, but she tried to keep in mind that her human fans were just curious.

@moofan7: whats it like having fur?

“It’s pretty great if you ask me. I put a lot of work in to keep my coat this lustrous, though. As long as you keep it clean, it’s like wearing a cozy blanket at all times.”

@9tailtrouble: demi here. what products do you recommend for fur care?

“Great question, 9tailtrouble. It really depends a lot on your species, but FurLux is a good brand that covers a wide range. My personal favorite is Taúr-faire, but that’s specifically for cows. I assume you’re a fox? I’ve heard from other foxes that Red Coature is pretty good if you’re willing to spend a bit extra.”

Chat started excitedly popping off. Little emotes of a gray cat with a confused look on her face dotted the messages.

@tinkretor: :joule: :pog: @momijams: JOULE SIGHTING @moofan7: girlfriend jumpscare @moofan7: jk joule im ur biggest fan @theinfirminator: :joule: :joule: :joule: :joule: :joule: :joule: :joule: :joule: :joule: :joule:

Mocha looked at her stream feed. Sure enough, Joule was visible making dinner in the kitchen. Mocha couldn’t help but smile; her newest girlfriend had already wandered into frame so many times it had become a running joke.

After the chat calmed again, 9tailtrouble responded.

@9tailtrouble: yeah im a fox :D i really love yuor streams!! I admire you so much 0///0 @9tailtrouble donated $5

“Thanks, 9tail, I’m so honored to hear that! Let me know if you try those products.”

@theinfirminator: you have two gfs, rite? wats that like @subbywoofers: mo is so cool

“It’s the best. I love them so much! It takes a lot of love and trust to make it work, but it’s so worth it.”

@theinfirminator: how did you meet?

“Pap and I met in college. We were both skipping the same lecture and decided to hang out! That was… something like eighteen months ago. Then we met Joule when she became our roommate, and she started dating us around a year ago.”

@momijams: yall are adorable together! @theinfirminator: will we get a paprika sighting tonite?

“Not tonight, she’s out with a friend. I’ll let her know you asked, though!”

@momijams: its ok if this is too personal but. im dating a cowgirl and i want to learn more to about what its like so i can take care of her when were married @momijams: ive heard that its.. a lot @momijams: do you have any tips??

“Wow, congrats momijams! It's a bit too personal for the stream, but message me after and I’ll give you some advice. I think it’s really sweet that you’re trying to learn to take care of her!”

@momijams: thank you :) i want to treat her right @momijams donated $10

Mocha continued answering her viewers' questions. Before she knew it, an hour had already passed. It was probably the best stream she’d had in a while.

Until one message caught her eye.

@9tailtrouble: maam. your shirt

Mocha checked her feed. A pair of wet spots had soaked through her blouse, revealing the pink bra beneath. Twin white streams trickled off her chest and into her lap. Blood rushed through her cheeks. Fucking hell, when did this happen?

In a panic, she made to shut down the stream. And I was having such a good time, too, she thought. Her mouse hovered over the red "END STREAM" button. She hesitated.

“You know what?" She turned to the camera. "You all have been so lovely today. Here’s a little treat.”

She began unbuttoning her top, only now noticing how tight it had gotten; it was near to popping open, anyway. Her breasts had swollen several sizes up throughout the stream. No wonder I'm leaking...

Once her shirt was fully unbuttoned, she let it fall to either side, revealing her straining bra, dark and damp from the lactic bounty leaking from inside. Milk streamed down her belly, dampening her fur.

Chat was going wild.

“That feels better. Now back to the Q&A.”

@momijams: can we ask about… this

“I’m in a good mood, so go ahead! Don’t go overboard, though.”

@momijams: okay so. wow. i heard cowgirls produce a lot, but i wasnt expecting this muich @momijams: is this a normal amount??

Mocha blushed, hoping it wasn’t too obvious. She always enjoyed it when people commented on how much milk she made.

“Yeah, this is a pretty normal amount for a cow my age. Usually I take suppressants to keep it down to a manageable amount, but I think I’m a little late this month!” She gestured to her leaking tits.

@theinfirminator: how does it feel?

“Pleasant, most of the time. Most of the day I can hardly feel it. But this,” she hefted her boobs. “If they get much bigger than this, they start to ache.”

That got them curious.

@9tailtrouble: they grow? @tinkretor: mocha is so PRETTYYYY @moofan7: BIGGER THAN THIS? They’re already so big! @momijams: how big do they get?

Mocha was getting just as excited as them. This is fun! I should talk about this stuff more often! She would be lying if she said this wasn’t turning her on a bit, as well.

“Judging by the G-cup bra they’re about to destroy, right now they’re probably about a K-cup. The biggest I’ve ever gotten is a Q-cup.” She held her hands out several inches from her bust.

@momijams: how doyou deal with them? @9tailtrouble: thats so huge, omg @9tailtrouble: i wish my tits did that!! @tinkretor: do you have to. Express? srory if thats too much

Mocha was really getting going, now. “Mm hmm, every day I have to-” Mocha had an idea. A grin spread across her face. This is gonna get me suspended for sure.

She put a finger up to her lips, pretending to think about it. “Well,” she drawled, “maybe it would be better to demonstrate. Joule, love! Can you come over here?”

@moofan7: is this really happening? @9tailtrouble: no way. our mo? @momijams: what an exciting new direction for the channel @momijams donated $25 @subbywoofers donated $50 @subbywoofers: mo this is so cool tysm

Joule poked her head out from the kitchen. “What’s up, Mo?”

“Come over here. Say hi to the fans!”

“Hi, fans! Thanks for supporting my girlfriend!” She reached the desk, only now seeing Mocha’s state of undress. “Oh. Since when is this that kind of stream? Not that I mind.”

“I’m trying something new.” The swollen cowgirl unstrapped her bra, letting it fall. “Now, if you would please milk me?”

Mocha’s tits heaved as her breathing suddenly got easier. I didn't realize just how tight that bra was getting… Her nipples, thick as little brown thumbs, were spraying arcs of milk now.

Joule visibly gulped. “Yes, please!”

The lanky catgirl stood behind Mocha’s chair, wrapping her arms around. “I almost can’t reach! You’ve let them get way too big today.”

Her paws found the leaking teats. Mocha gasped as Joule’s fingers expertly worked the swollen breasts. The spray turned into a hose, shooting milk warm milk across the desk, the keyboard, the monitor.

“As you. Can. See,” the breathy cowgirl had trouble forcing herself to speak through the stimulation. “The best. Way. To express. Is through. Hand. Milking.” She let out a low “Moooo~” as Joule rolled a thick teat between her knuckles.

@momijams donated $40 @subbywoofers: good work, joule :joule: @moofan7 donated $25 @9tailtrouble donated $75

After a minute, her breasts had visibly gone down in size. Mocha held up her hand, signaling Joule to stop for now. The catgirl obediently let go, releasing the heavy, wet breasts with a PLAP.

“That’s the most effective way to do it. On suppressants, I need to do that for about an hour every night. Without suppressants, like right now, it’d probably take two or three hours to get me back down to normal size.”

@moofan7: doesn’t seem so bad @9tailtrouble: that was. wow. @9tailtrouble: im kinda jealous NGL @tinkretor donated $100

“It does have its perks,” agreed Mocha, reading the chat. “It’s not always easy, but I wouldn’t trade it for the world.” She looked back at Joule, thoughtful.

“I’ve had a lot of fun tonight. And you all have been so generous with the donations! I can’t thank you enough.” She sighed.

“But I’m gonna try. Here’s one last treat before I log off. Joule?”

“Yeah babe?” the catgirl licked her lips.

“Show them what happens when you suck a cowgirl’s tits.”

Joule didn’t hesitate. She pounced on Mocha’s left tit, wrapping her lips around the stiff nipple. She began slurping down milk, rolling the teat with her tongue. Her hand reached up to stroke the right teat, tugging and playing with the spraying bud.

Mocha began growing. Each boob was quickly regaining the mass it had just lost, swelling outwards as they kicked into overdrive to feed the hungry mouth. Mocha moo’d frantically, grabbing her girlfriend by the scruff and pulling her tight against her growing flesh. The exposed right nipple was growing alongside its breast, nearly two inches long and spraying cream from a dozen thick arcs. Droplets of milk flecked the camera lens. Soon, each breast was the size of a prize-winning pumpkin and still growing.

“Well, that’s a new record.”

Joule held the measuring tape around her girlfriend’s bust. “109.4 inches.”

Mocha sat on a groaning stool in the master bathroom, watching the stream recording on her phone. She wanted a measurement before they got to work at milking her down to size again. It’s gonna be a long night. I don’t think Joule minds, though. Paprika won’t mind when she gets home, either.

She set down the phone, looking out over the expanse of her bust. “I’m fucking huge.” She grinned, then moo’d with an aftershock of the last climax.

“Well, only one thing left to do about it.”

User: Mocha @theMoShow 9:47 pm (PST) What a great stream tonight! Thank you so much to all my amazing fans. For those who missed it, future streams will be going in a slightly new direction. Next week’s show will be on our new channel at onlyfurs.com I’ll see you all then!

This one was a lot of fun to write! It ended up being like 4x longer than I initially planned, and I think it's all for the better. I really enjoyed making the stream chats in particular. Oh btw, sex workers are workers and deserve rights. Thank them for all the amazing things they do!

[dayurno]

thank u for sharing the hcs….. so silly….. i need to watch fast and furious and think about renee for the vibes now bc ive also never seen it. some of mine that come to mind right now are:

i also think Kevin hates the gym! especially cardio. it’s important and it helps his Exy performance so he’ll never complain but GOD does he hate it :) and in terms of speed he’s just Average and it kind of haunts him. and then also for kevin i think he’s really kind of scared of dogs. all of them. he’s never been around them so he won’t say it but he’s very apprehensive around them

in general i think jeremy is emotional, but specifically, he gets really annoying about it. like if he’s overtired? he’s so cranky. god forbid if he gets too hungry, he’s HANGRY and is just kind of awful to deal with until he eats something. has to eat every few hours, otherwise he might literally cry about it

i think jean really just likes Touching things with his hands. making and feeling and knowing his hands can create things instead of break them or only play exy. i know it’s a popular hc that he likes art but it really makes me :) +++ i think he has an awful habit of slouching, trying to make himself smaller, so renee and kevin and jeremy and eventually all the Trojans are on his ass about it. telling him to stand up straight and thumping him on the chest to be upright. yeahg

THIS IS VERY CUTE i love kevin being scared of dogs i really can see it! i have a similar hc but i do have a reason for it i think kevin is afraid of dogs because one bit him when he was a kid and it wasn’t even like a Perforating Wound but it became a core memory for him… i think he gets better about this eventually but to me he has an ingrown sense to hide behind the nearest person at the sound of a dog barking. also re: speed nora said it herself that kevin doesnt actually like running either HAHA i think he’s the bravest girl in the whole world for taking a career that has him running every single day

AH JEAN SLOUCHING canonest of canons i think kevin would be such a bitch about jean’s posture both sitting and standing up!!! i can see him poking jean on the back to adjust his shrimp-like complexion Now and honestly its lowkey psychosexual that jean fixes it immediately. pavlov’ed. clicker trained. artist jean is cute! im always a little torn trying to imagine his art style because i think he would probably be making those traumacore bpd hello kitty drawings 🥹😭 but who knows i love thinking about jean drawing at all. do you think he ever does portraits? how many of renee does he have. like five thousand

i love jeremy hcs when they’re funny 🖐️ to me lately ive been thinking about jeremy being a horror movie bro because in 2006 there were only so many things you could be into and i think its funny to imagine in a kerejean sense. jeremy (deranged) watching the nastiest most ridiculous low production found footage movie at the breakfast table and kevjean sitting there like can we move this to a later hour. would not like to hear about a man grilling someone else’s testes while eating breakfast

[sushisocks]

i need help for something im making so just a quick question what do you think darraghs age range was when sean was a toddler? your just the peak expert on them both tbh😭

ohhh boy let me think, here. FYI im gonna be referencing/working off of the ask you sent a while ago where i went into some of the confirmed history regarding darragh & sean lolol

My working theory is that Darragh was in his mid-to-late 30s when Sean was born. This is MOSTLY based in the timeline we know about Darragh -- he was very 'politically active' if you wanna call it that lol, in the 1860's, setting Galway on fire and traveling to and fro America of all places. I've long believed Sean's birth to be in the mid-late 1870's, so-- Like, follow me on this thought-path, okay?

What makes sense to me is that Darragh was rather young when he started doing the things he did, think late teens; both because that IS the age a lot of kids not only start thinking about the world they live in but also feel moved and empowered to try to DO something about it. Angry at the political sphere + stupid teenage bravery + a couple drinks DOES sound like a fair recipe for setting some houses on fire, doesn't it?

So let's say he was about 17 in 1860. That would put him at about 35 when Sean was born, which I've put at 1878 here to be consistent with the linked post. Meaning he'd be in the 37-40 range when Sean was in his toddler years!

I hope that made sense! It's at least what makes sense to me 🤓 You can definitely adjust some of these numbers a little up or down, since we're working from very few specifics and a LOT of theorizing, but the ages I ended at made sense to me!!

extreme jamietrevor navalgazing. call me a gazy pie the way i be. baked into a pie crust staring straight up at the sky thinking about them. [please do not read i am being extremely insane]

as evidenced by my 239048 posts on the topic i am EXTREMELY into themes of self reflection, change, and identity in romance and the particular notion that love changes you in some way and trying to figure out in what ways how and when is a crucial, cathartic part necessary to being and maybe even accepting yourself in a relationship which. when i type it out. obviously yeah but. listen. LOVE IS A CHOICE WITH CONSEQUENCES. that's MY thesis statement dissertation graduate publication etc etc. nothing bowls me over more than blorbo realizing the enormity of their desire for other blorbo and the depths to which that informs and changes their own perception of self! i think. all of the fics i have written touch on that theme. anyways.

i am also thinking about general hockey meta which, here is where we will take a brief moment to reflect upon 1) literally every ethical/philosophical/sociological paper i have ever read on the theory of celebrities and fame and consuming content as stories and 2) bleak boyband bingo which is a kpop fic fest that literally CHANGED MY LIFE and changed the way that i interact with media and real person fiction and the general stories that i come up with and see in real life which leads me to 3) nothing in my life is ever original what do you mean i was destined to be a hockey fan all along because bleak boyband bingo creators were hockey fans... what... you're telling me that the fundamental piece of real life truth in fictional content scholarship was informed in large part by Hockey. and now im. in the hockey soup. ok this is quickly becoming an essay for another but anyways. hockey meta.

look. competitive youth hockey and the usntdp in particular is probably not the Greatest environment to grow up in. somehow i think you do not learn and experience the varied life skills & experiences needed to develop the crucial social parts of your brain. including how you handle relationships! how you see yourself! sport in general is probably not the best and we've plenty of accounts both historical & contemporary & personal and whatnot of the reality that being in a regimented system before your brain even fully develops is not the best for your sense of self especially after you leave the sport but THAT is also another essay. the other thing that is extremely trevor zegras specific is that the dude was in a boarding school which. ok. general fandom characterzation paints this dude with FOMO and I GET IT!!! boarding schools are also extremely not the greatest environment to grow up in. genuinely going to a boarding school before you learn how to set your own routines outside of what's necessary kind of fucks you up! im not speaking from experience im. not. like trevor at the tender age of 15 probably only had hockey and whatever the fuck he needed to do academics wise on his mind for routines! what about mental health and attention regulation and varied life experiences on your own initiative! anyways. ANYWAYS.

jamie to me is trevor's greatest foil and probably why i will always bat as hard for them as i do and not even in the enemies to lovers way it's just. you see a guy who's way more well-adjusted than you are and it Gets Personal. like ok dude lived presumably with his parents up until 16 and even then went to live in a billet family which i think provides a lot more sense of normalcy than whatever the fuck ntdp got going on because the families weren't as hockey adjacent afaik than the ntdp's structure. especially because if im remembering this correctly, the ntdp class of 2019 was supported in large part by the parents of the kids themselves rather than regular billets re hughes moving to michigan etc etc. so here's jamie. sociable and presumed level-headed enough to be named captain of the erie otters. canadian. normal billet family. he's got a lot of non-hockey life experience that informs his identity!

what i'm really trying to articulate that took me uhhhh 4 paragraphs to write is that there is a fic in me that is begging 2 be written wherein trevor is not the best dude! he's a little bit toxic and he's not that self aware but he's under the presumption that he is and that's what's limiting his growth! he's only ever had to think about what he wants and he's only ever been in, formative years-wise, an extremely isolated bubble since he was 15. he's nice though. charming and confident in himself and it's that same feeling that you think you're going to be really good friends with somebody but two months into the friendship you're getting icks and thinking that they're too annoying and whatnot. he's got severe fomo! toxic fomo even! he's not that confident in the world around him in the sense that he's just a KID. a really annoying ipad kid who hasn't learned about the general complexity of life outside of hockey! in contrast, jamie is so mature for his age and has experienced a lot more in life and seems to be confident in the world around him and in himself even without hockey, has his own friends in anaheim already and formed a great local support group, is on good terms and constant contact with friends and family, leaves the competition on the ice and brings none of the personal stuff off it. he's SO well adjusted with no hang ups and i want so badly for him to be the catalyst to trevor's ~conscious awakening~.

like in this fic trevor has SUCH a grade school crush on jamie immediately, begging to be his best friend and hanging out with him all the time because he thinks they get a long so well but in reality it's just jamie handling the situation with grace far above what's expected of his age and compsure that belies How Normal He Is. and it irritates trevor a little bit when jamie brushes him off to go be normal and do normal things like not falling into a codependent situationship 2 months into his pro hockey career but like! that's not gonna stop his mad stupid crush. and then he confesses to jamie and jamie's like :] "z you're great but i think we're too different" which sends trevor on a spiral of self reflection and growing up and realizing he doesn't HAVE to be as ~boring~ as jamie (he's grown as a person i didn't say HOW much tho) but like in the long run trying to be well adjusted and shaking off the internal rollercoaster of impulsitivity and jealousy would probably do him good. and maybe he goes on adhd meds or something because what is a michiganmerchant essay if not projecting neurodivergentness on all of my hockeys. ok thanks goodnight.

[porloquevivoyo]

I’ve talked the hell out of this today but sometimes I feel like sharing it on tumblr seals the deal 😂😂 I guess it just helps to fully articulate it and put a pin on thoughts.

So, I realized that in several (probably most 🥴) of my friendships- I am reacting (internally sometimes externally) out of my own bitterness/exhaustion/overwhelm. The thing is that Jeff and I moved out here to Arizona for very specific and important reasons but being the only ones readily available to care & raise our family has taken its toll & is really hard and in all honesty I’m taking it out on my friendships.

And you know what- that’s not fair to them (just living their best lives not flaunting) or to me. I want to live in love. I want to act out of love not out of my own bitterness/exhaustion/overwhelm. I want to have fulfilling friendships not this internal competition for a trophy of who had it the hardest because what the heck is that even a win for??!!!!!!

So I’ve realized this. And I’ve realized that I need to turn a new leaf and even the seasons agree with me 😂😂 it’s time to let go of these old patterns and behaviors because they don’t serve me anymore.

I suppose these patterns served me enough to get to this point to. To a point where I realize I am overwhelmed and need more support and I need to move past my fear of burdening others and ask for help (it’s not a pride issue I truly just feel like I’m-or my kids are- too much for people 🥴 so there’s that).

But they don’t serve me anymore and I cannot carry these patterns in my life anymore.

I want to enjoy being with my friends. I want to sit in a car with my friend and not roll my eyes at how clean it is and think “must be nice to not have a million kids in your car 24/7” or truly support a friend in their own current motherhood season without thinking “I’ve been (hard task) glad you get (something I’m deprived of/want- usually sleep or kid free time)” or not feel green with envy when they mention “oh after I got out of the shower…” or “(child) stayed with grandma” 😂😂 like guys stupid little things which aren’t stupid at all but it’s nothing wrong with my friends and it’s not a signal to find new ones it’s a signal to me that HEY CLAIRE you need more support!! And instead of wallowing in self-pity- try asking for it so you can actually show up for yourself and your friends because fact is- you will be tired and you may feel jealous of the friends with family (aka every single friend you have) but you also have soooo much to be thankful for and although sometimes it feels so lonely- living where you live is the best thing you could have done for yourself and your family and future generations. And im not saying I don’t deserve to complain or feel a little upset sometimes- but I haven’t just vented once and done- I’ve been bathing in these waters for a longggg time and it’s time to get out.

Before this moment I always thought I just needed a friend who “gets it” living in a military town you would think I would have met someone in my shoes by now but honestly I think it needed to happen this way. I don’t need someone to reinforce my attitude, I need an attitude adjustment.

Im ready for it. I’m ready to live in love and to recognize when I’m not behaving from my authentic self but instead from overwhelm. Im ready to use these feelings and thoughts to signal when I need some support and speak up for myself and ask for it and pay for it 😅. It may not look the same as my friends, but that’s okay because my personal trade off and reward is much much greater and will have a ripple effect on my bloodline.

Ahh man i feel like i sound even more scatter brained but what matters is I know what I need to do and my intention is set.

I will recognize the signs for when I need support and boldly ask for it so that I can show up for myself and others authentically and fully out of love ❤️❤️

Hello fall 🍂🍂🍂 seriously ready to turn a new leaf.

How do you come up with super pretty design and fur patterns??

ooo this is such an open ended question theres a lot i could say ill ramble more abt more technical n specific tips under the cut, but honestly my biggest tip would just be to like, look at so much fucking furry art. looking thru other ppls art n character design is both rly fun and literally studying for ur own work. i mean id recommend looking at char design both furry and not furry in general cuz its all useful stuff and rly good to get like a diverse variety of shit to live in ur brain u can take out as insp or little things here n there for ideas for ur own design when its useful. looking at actual animals of all types and species is also useful, lots of cool patterns u can find that way and for some design in particular i will primarily be using markings similar to actual animals ive seen (at least like for example the concept of a darker mask of fur that goes under the eyes a certain way, etc). canines and felines in particular have a very very wide variety of markings u can use as inspiration. other animals too but those tend to be popular w furry art n design n r some favorites for me personally lol

for me its like, a lot of practice to get good at furry art and furry character design specifically, like pretty conscious effort since i was a kid cuz thats what i was interested in and those were the artists i admired and found as big inspiration and wanted to draw like. and ofc i am still trying to improve n learn more myself! so id say to start like.. a lot of practice, ofc looking at actual animal markings cuz u can get a LOT of good ideas that way, and big time: studying other ppls art and character design. u r never looking at other ppls art Too Much u r learning when u r having fun doing that

looking at a wide variety of dif furry styles w furry design in particular is pretty useful, especially when theyre all made for dif purposes; fursuit design vs designs for comics vs furry adoptable designs vs designs created to be animated (’animator friendly’ designs), to name a few, all r serving dif purposes n have dif goals n dif reasons for why they look the way they do.

on a more technical level of How i come up w them/make them, i sat w this one for a bit n here r some ideas i wrote down. i was trying not 2 ramble but u asked the autistic guy who is very interested in and passionate abt furry art n character design so <3 many thoiughtz under the cut so its not massively long

first is that i fuck around a LOT before i settle on smth. slap colors on shit and take colors off. if ur drawing digitally and u have a program w a filter -> color adjustments option like sai 2 u can mess w hues n saturation to get combos u never wouldve thought of without that bonus help. i tend to start working on colors/markings w digital (while i may do preleminary traditional sketches of what the character could look like before colors) cuz its way easier to test smth out and then undo it if u dont like it on digital lol. and even w how i tend to try many dif things i test around before i decide on smth i like, i always keep open the possibility that this design (if im using it as an oc) is open to being changed in the future if i find smth i like more w them

getting attached to pieces of a design and wanting to build around that is great cuz its how u figure out what u like and what is important to u w this design/character, but whats also important is being able to recognize when smth just isnt working (at least the Way ur approaching it, or maybe the character ur trying it with, etc) and u need to try a different track. u can always keep that trait u rly like and want to put on a character and just rework it into a dif design later, i do that all the time! just be content with some designs maybe just taking more time to come together and thats cool too, u need time to stew on ur thoughts n try things in ur brain b4 u test them in actual art sometimes (i mean, for me at least). sometimes u just need to sit on a character design for a while and try a lot of things before smth Clicks. at least for me! sometimes its very easy to design a character and figure out markings n stuff but other times it takes me a lot of attempts and building up a design w new ideas i am getting along the way. maybe i realize this particular design trait is cool but just isnt working on this character/design so i file it away on the backburner to test on a new character later till i find a design (or oc if i RLY like it and want to draw it a lot) who it DOES fit. 

i have a pretty big stock of inspiration n ideas i have in my brain bcuz i have been autistically obsessed w furry art and improving at my own since i was a kid so i just have a lot of Interest in this stuff and have a very big like.. amnt of shit to draw from i think? again, padding out what u have to draw from in ur brain in the first place. u could also save character design insp somewhere and look thru it before u start working on a design urself, i do that sometimes! it gets the creative juices flowing for me to look at art i admire and feel inspired by before i work on my own. do stuff to get urself inspired or ur brain working in that direction, whatever way that works for u, u know urself best w it

i often keep notes of little ideas i have or things i want to try so i can try making a character design around it later, i have always loved making characters and character design so i dont rly have problems w lack of ideas or anything, its smth u just work on and if its fun u keep working on it! as a kid id do stuff like, just look thru lists of animals and then just make a bunch of furry designs for those animals, or do stuff like assign colors or plants or elements or whatever animals and then make Furry Versions of those. that was entertaining to me and how i had fun. this kinda stuff is still good practice (emoji randomizers r fun to make character design from, for example). 

when im stumped w my own design or looking for new ideas to try that may click better, or when i just need a break cuz i definitely am not drawing all the time, i take a break from drawing and go back to looking at lots of art, aka, STUDYING <3 read comics, watch movies, etc too, whatever ur interested in and inspired by. i think a lot abt my own designs n ocs n stuff i want to draw and ideas i might use or like (or things i dont care for or am that interested in that i think ‘how can i implement that in a way that i DO like in my own design, how can i make this become interesting to me’) while im like, just living my life and seeing outfits and seeing palettes and seeing other ppls work n stuff, not JUST when im drawing. im playing around w ideas in my head before i actually draw, this is smth u probably improve on with just like, time and practice and gaining the ability to gauge if smth is worth trying before u actually draw it. again i cannot stress enough how important looking at a lot of other character design is; both what u like and what u dont like is going to be internalized and is going to be rly useful for making ur own designs. look at a lot of different art styles, look at how other ppl design characters. know that character design is something u can absolutely improve on, its not like, a talent some ppl have and some ppl dont, some ppl just r going to be more passionate abt it and WANT to spend more time on it and improve Because of that. 

back to colors! the good thing is palettes (and well everything else abt designs) r super dependant on what u personally enjoy so theres not rly right or wrong ways to do them. liek if someone asked me for tips on how i personally often create palettes for characters Right Now i could think abt it and try to pick up patterns w my own art and then explain my like thought process abt it to ppl, but thats just what i personally like doing right at this moment, and that changes! u have a lot of room to just have fun. rly look at character designs n palettes that r RLY speaking to u and figure out whats working abt it for u or how u can incorporate how much u love how that artist uses colors n palettes n what theyre Doing there to make it work into ur own work. fun studying!

now a more personal one: typically (not as a general rule but often) my oc design is built to be drawn repeatedly and not be overwhelmingly complex to me.  the goal is to get smth that looks good and interesting without actually being difficult for me cuz i know myself and know i wont draw a character thats too complicated for me lol whether id get bored or intimidated by the idea of just having to draw a whole complicated fuckin thing when i just want to doodle. for me, this means i tend to pull a lot of character design tips i learned from animation. ‘animator friendly’ kinda stuff, BUT i can typically afford to be a little more complex bcuz im not animating them. im not sure if this is still common but when i was growing up ‘good furry designs’ at least w the artists and other kids i was hanging around were often considered what was the most complex and cool looking over what was actually like, replicatable and feasible to draw consistently without spending a lot of time coloring. stuff that would make having to draw that oc for someone in a commission a complete fucking pain, but sure looks cool as a finished product so u Get why ppl go for those. but personally while i like seeing those designs i know myself and probably wouldnt buy one of those adoptables for that, cuz i know i woldnt draw it enough lol. i enjoy em and can draw some for art fight but as my own oc’s they probably wouldn’t like.. fit my own needs? i may have a much easier time drawing them now bcuz i have drawn furry art and furry character design for a long time so i can figure out what im looking at easier, but it probably wouldve overwhelmed me quite a bit when i got started (been too long for me to remember lol). and thats good to know, its good to be aware of what u want to be drawing and figuring out what kinda stuff YOU like. 

adding on from above but that paragraph got long: of course having designs that r rly complex is a lot of fun n stuff im not saying dont do that im saying for ME personally a lot of my oc design tends to be centered around ‘what do i know /i/ will be capable of drawing multiple times without getting either overwhelmed or bored’. so thats a thought for me w my own designs. i also often make designs that i plan on using for like comics or smth later so i do want the design to not be terribly hard to reproduce if im planning on ‘this character is gonna be showing up quite a bit and i dont want to put a ton of work into every panel’

i will also say that like personally while markings r definitely important i DO try to mix design traits thru a more Character Design lense with a Furry Character Design lense. what i mean by that is its good to expand ur Character Design ability in general by paying attention to drawing differing body types and proportions, face shapes and like cheek/chin/etc shapes/fluff, nose and eye shapes, hair style and hair texture, etc. furry adoptables focus on creative and interesting markings on a base to make the character stand out from other wolf guys. which is also very useful to be studying and getting inspiration from for sure! i enjoy those often complex designs for sure. but for me personally i do try to take the approach of diversifying w designs (particularly w my own ocs), cuz its fun and cuz its pretty necessary when ur talking abt like, Character Design.  even as someone who often puts a lot of design traits i Know i like onto many of my ocs (mohawks <3 muscles <3 etc) like w character design its important that ur characters would not all look completely the same if they switched clothes or palettes or hairstyles yk? even when putting ‘buff’ onto multiple chars of urs cuz u just like that and drawing muscles theres many ways to make a character muscular on a lot of dif body types and proportions, for example. and while there r parts of the making these characters all look different that may b harder w furry character design (like u got all these wolves and now u gotta figure out how they all look different beyond just colors!!) its definitely still like, Necessary to me personally! i assume u were asking more abt like fur patterns rather than this kinda stuff but i would recommend u think abt that when designing characters as well, its fun and it will definitely improve ur own work in general! and it is rly necessary to practice things like a wide range of body types and hair textures n styles. it will make u a better artist overall.

look at tips from ppl who do professional character design, whether its furry artists or ppl who work with dif types of media (movies, tv, comics, video games, etc). a wider knowledge base never hurts! i have always rly personally valued tips from ppl working in the animation industry so i think thats like one of the primary ‘tutorials’ i paid more attention to and integrating from +as well as my history as a furry artist and what furry artists tend to like and consider ‘good’ character design. it just tkes a lot of fucking around n building up stuff u can draw from. and ur taste will probably change with time and as u improve. theres a place for everything and ur eyes will get better at figuring out what looks good paired together, to u, over time. u can also get great ideas n tips n inspiration from artists of all sorts of skill levels of course! 

anyway i hope this helps at all or answers ur question in some capacity, im sure theres stuff i missed but theres a lot of Words here but thats cuz i dont like.. think abt this stuff very consciously so it sounds more complicated when u write it out vs just doing it, which starts feeling more like second nature when u improve at it. i rly appreciate the compliment btw im always flattered to hear ppl like my designs! 

[tears-of-boredom]

...today was so fucking tiring. and tomorrow i have to do it all over again.

i. its like. I know that if i actually just go, and make it my routine, it'll get easier. ill get to know the people so i dont need to stress over strangers, ill get to know the social practices and traditions that are unspoken. ill get used to early mornings. i just. I have to Do it. you know. i have to actually dedicate myself to this. because its only going to make things worse if the only thing im thinking about is how i want to do something else.

and I know i can do it. i did it last year with the fucking,, primary school i think its called. i know that im able to adjust, and when I get into the routine, i wont even want to like, stay in bed or just play on my computer.

the just like,. like muscle memory, except mental as well? like unconcious memory? like, it feels like my body just remembers how my whole school life has been, and reacts like it always has. so like. i am actually a bit unsure about how to go about dismantling that. like i need to make my brain realise that this is a different situation. that i have a decent support network, that i can actually relax at home, that i have the opportunity to alter my schedule!

that is like. a big thing. i have to have the courage to actually talk to someone when im facing a problem. because there will be a solution. and trying to suppress all my issues will be way harder than just fucking using the resources that are literally given to me. the school system is not actually as horrible as i make it out to be. at least not this specific school. there is faculty whose entire job is to help students with whatever issues they may have.

i just. I have never been good at asking for help. not because i didnt think i needed it, but because i thought someone else needed it more. even conserning things or resources that are not limited, like fucking advice.

i was gonna say that i hate myself, but thats not true. i hate that i wasnt properly taught essential life skills growing up. i hate that those skills are so difficult to learn later, because you've got to unlearn the coping mechanisms you created in place of them.

any time i was in the vicinity of non-new students, i felt like they were making fun of me. they definetly weren't, but considering how my last class was in primary school, its honestly not that weird that my brain defaults to that.

you know. i never considered it bullying. because no one threatened me, or stole from me, or beat me up, or hurled insults at me.

but it definetly was. i didnt feel physically unsafe, yeah, but i was constantly so fucking anxious and stressed, just waiting for them to do something. the way I'd race to every class, just so i could have that small moment of peace that came with sitting in an empty classroom, knowing that the rest of the class wouldnt show up for a few moments.

yeah i didnt feel physically unsafe, as long as i hid my rainbow flag keychain charm.

i feel like this is something schools should focus on more. instead of pushing "tell a trusted adult if you or someone you know is being bullied", they should like, like just advise kids on how to recognise bullying.

like, i was not social, by any means. i didnt go out of my way to speak to people. you know, i had anxiety. and also im autistic. i felt isolated from the rest of the world.

but you know what also makes you feel isolated? bullying. it makes you feel like nobody genuinely likes you, like your value is determined by how fun it is to annoy you. and it makes insecure people, like me, feel like the bullying is worth it. because no one would talk to me under other circumstances. they're practically doing me a service by interacting with me.

i dont wanna call myself stupid, because it makes sense that it took me this long to recognise this. if a child admits to being bullied, and you dont intervene because they said "its fine, it doesnt bother me",, you're not good at stopping bullying.

like just, even if the kid turns out to be right, the bullying doesnt affect them at all, not in the short run, nor in the long run. the bullies are still a problem. like, you dont stop bullying by protecting the vulnerable people from the meanies, you stop it by disabling the ones doing it. make there not be anyone who would do the bullying in the first place.

like this is genuinely just basic problem solving. you see a problem, you find out whats causing it, and then you fix the causing factor.

you dont just keep buying goldfish when your cat kills each one, you teach your god damn cat to not kill the goldfish.

i. im just so angry. it seems like every year, i realise that some case of suffering ive experienced wasn't "inevitable" at all, and actually its just that the adults in my life greatly failed me. again.

but everytime i convince myself that its not their fault. that for some reason my psyche just makes suffering inevitable. its an endless cycle that just completely destroys my trust. towards strangers, towards adults, towards myself.

but this has been going on for so long, from such a young age, that like. what the fuck would be left if i unlearnt this shit. everything's formed into such a cornerstone of my very being, that itll be as hard as,, unlearning how to speak. learning to stop your heart from beating.

im so tired, like, physically. ill see if I can sleep, but if not, ill try and find the courage to go tall to an adult.

hello im goblin and i make bread :3

this blog is mostly so i can store all my recipes. i have a bad habit of engaging in Babushka Behavior (writing recipes that say "some" or "enough" in them) so this is partially to encourage me to actually track my recipes and mostly so that i can share the Bread That Tastes Like Cheezits When Toasted with the world because it deserves to be shared.

about me: my name is goblin and my pronouns are your/problem (which is my way of saying i use any pronouns), and I'm a Queer multiply-Disabled Jewish dyke. I live at high altitude (6k+ ft. above sea level) so my baking is definitely informed by this, along with the complicated auto-immune situation that makes it basically impossible for me to buy baked goods from the store.

i have a sourdough starter (lovingly referred to as the Organism) in a metal bowl on my counter. she's usually around 3:2 flour:water if you're curious. i'll post pictures of her eventually. most of my recipes are attempts to make non-sourdough breads into sourdough breads for auto-immune reasons.

welcome to the madness enjoy your stay etc. etc. feel free to DM me or send an ask if you are experiencing Bread Woes and i will do my best.

Tags I Use:

goblins-organism : for stuff related to my sourdough starter

goblin-sourdough : for recipes using sourdough starter

goblin-recipes : for all the recipes

goblin-life : for posts about me/my life

not-a-recipe : for non-recipe posts

not-my-recipe : for posts sharing recipes from elsewhere

Admin stuff below the cut

I'll do my best to tag for potentially-triggering content if asked, but i am a tired Disabled person using this blog to store my recipes so i make NO promises. i will NOT tag queer, dyke, etc.; if you find my identity triggering, this blog is not for you.

this blog is SFW. if you post NSFW on my posts, i will block you. bread is for everyone, including minors.

i will not be posting nutritional information on my recipes. this is not a "health-food" blog. because of my autoimmune disorder, i cherish every single calorie i actually get to absorb, and have NO interest in "dieting" or "healthy eating" or whatever. i will attempt to tag major allergens, animal products, and recipes that require specific kitchen equipment, but i cannot guarantee consistency.

speaking of kitchen equipment: i am allergic to Teflon and most other non-stick coatings. most of my recipes are baked in CAST IRON, which behaves differently from thinner cookware. specifically, my bread loaves tend to be CONSIDERABLY taller and to rise more in the oven than normal, and my recipes are adjusted to reflect the pans i use. if you are having trouble, this may be the issue.

i don't believe in DNIs but i WILL block you if i don't like you. that being said, to save myself some trouble:

Black lives matter

Trans women are women and Trans men are men

Free Palestine

Vaccines don't cause autism, and even if they did, it is better to be autistic than dead

Narcissistic abuse isn't real; people with NPD are more likely to be abuse victims than abusers

Sex work is work and all work is selling your body in some way

Use Firefox and an ad-blocker, stop posting your face and voice online, and don't post your kids' faces for the world to see

Doxxing, harassment, and death threats/suicide baiting are never okay

Banning problematic content doesn't make it go away, it just makes it more likely that someone will stumble on it by accident

one other thing to get out of the way: I WILL NOT REBLOG DONATION POSTS, PUBLISH DONATION ASKS, OR INTERACT IN ANY WAY WITH THOSE TYPES OF POSTS. nothing against people who need to make those posts, but this is my Bread Blog, for Bread. if you try to solicit donations from me, i will block you. if you are engaging in spammy behavior about it (censoring the words for donation/various payment platforms, spam-tagging, sending me asks requesting i reblog your post, etc.) I WILL REPORT YOU AS SPAM.

No question, just wanna say you make the best Flowey content in this fandom, also I love his friendship with Papyrus especially in your work <3

wow no way!?! this is such a huge compliment and it means so much to me, gosh ty! They’re my favorites so I’m really really glad that I can do em justice hahahsd

Here r some unfinished floral sketches I never posted, just 4 u 💞

But yeah, I’ve always been really interested in papyrus’s and flowey’s friendship(?) dynamic, it just seems like they had something complicated but special, yk? I think a lot of ppl see papyrus as temperamental, but in reality I don’t think that’s actually true? He gets annoyed at extremely specific things, but you can make flowey SO MAD or so scared, and no matter what u say or do to papyrus he never gets offended, and never dislikes you. Your choices concerning papyrus almost never matter. I think the only true friend flowey could’ve had is someone like that really, because flowey has no empathy and no filter…he’s stuck in a childlike mindset, and is soulless to boot. I don’t think that makes him unable to feel…he helps toriel when she collapses in the ruins (see the alarm clock dialogue) and he seems sad and confused when you spare him.

I really just think he lacks empathy now, which would be something that I think monsters as a species would not be used to (they’re all so kind), especially bc he used to be one of the kindest. I think that abrupt, violent change in your empathetic capability would make anyone (especially a child) confused and hurt…I believe he thinks that he can’t feel anything about anyone, but that’s not actually true. I just think he’s traumatized. His life went so fucking wrong so fast, his best friend and sibling died, he died, and then was given godlike time powers. That’s not a good recipe for well-adjusted child.

In typical flowey fashion, he betrays papyrus in true pacifist, and aludes to messing around with him when he had the ability to reset, but names him as his favorite, and seems to know more about him than even his own brother (see the official undertale tumblr ask thingy) Papyrus is canonly really good with kids. He is the only character we battle that does not kill frisk. Every single one of his puzzles are harmless, and the ones that aren’t, he puts away or just uses on himself (still not sure that electric maze mishap was truly accidental…). he traps you in a cage that is totally 100% escapable, and praises you when you do…he goes on a funny little date with you…it just seems like he’s trying to get this kid to laugh and smile.

He even gives you his number so he can assist you in your journey through the underground…and answers in every single room where there is reception. I think flowey deserves/needs a friend like this. Someone patient (most of the time lol), understanding, and forgiving. Someone who’d see the sadness behind your emotional cactus exterior and start a fan club for you to cheer you up. Someone who believes you can do better, literally no matter what. Someone goofy and exuberant he can just be a kid with. Someone who can take any insult and turn it back around on the little shit who threw it at him.

Ok I could write about this forever lmao Im so sorry. I just think they’re neat.

HOW HE'D MEET YOU ! arataki itto x male reader

notes: reader is a dude bcuz im a gay man that likes itto and theres not enough male readers so fuck u ill do it myself ig 😈 also this isnt proof read, eng isnt my first language, and i did this in like 2 hours pls dont kill me lmao 💀 OH AND THIS ISNT A STORY, ITS A STORY IN HEADCANON FORM 😭 i legitimately suck at writing stories in story form so have this half assed thing instead 😓

warnings: cursing, blood, injuries & violence. (but its all very brief, not detailed, and not severe so dw)

arataki itto doesnt actually have a label for himself. hes never felt the need to do so, he just likes who he likes without much of a reason. if someone were to ask him which way he swings, he says: "i swing whichever way the wind will blow me to!"

you guys met through pure chance, and it was super cliche. as you were walking through the bustling streets of inazuma city after the disbanding of the vision hunt decree. he was also nearby, competing with the local children again.

after losing for the tenth time to the same child, he makes a loud groaning noise, which caught your attention (and the attention of everyone in a ten mile radius). while everyone else was looking at him with dislike, you were staring in pure interest, which he noticed.

his eyes widen as he looked at you. there was no way someone being so beautiful was legal, was there? he stared, and stared, and stared and st- "MISTER ITTO! HELLOOOO??"

one of the kids yelled, an annoyed look on his face as he just watched him stare at you for a good few seconds. itto finally snapped out of his trance, with a very clear blush on his face that he poorly tried to hide.

"oh uh- my bad, kid! was just a little tired- kind of spaced off for a little bit- but hey! im back on my A game, so lets go at it again!" he held out his closed fist, offering to play another round of rock, paper, scissors. the child bregudgingly accepted, knowing how this was going to end.

itto was hoping that he would win this time, specifically to impress the cute guy that was behind him. "rock, paper, scissors, shoot-!" the kid and itto chanted synanoumously, then revealed which of the three choices they picked at the shout of the last word.

itto held out a rock, and the young boy choose a paper. "DARN IT!" the oni yelled, once again catching the attention of everyone nearby. an adult all of a sudden snapped at him, condescendingly telling hin to stop bothering everyone, including the local kids.

"...did you really have to go and fight him?" you spoke as you patched up his wounds, caused by the tenryou commission trying to calm down the quirrel between the adult and itto. after they confronted the claymore user, he instantly started escalating the fight, straight up insulting them.

"well yeah! if they dare want to challenge arataki "the favorite of the kids" itto, then im gonna give 'em an ass whop- OW!" he winces as you dabble some alcohol solution to his face wound, caused by one of the tenryou guards punching him pretty hard.

"stop being a big baby, i've heard the stories of you and your adventures, you'll be fine." you spoke as you examined his wound, throwing away the cotton ball you used to clean his injuries, placing it on the top of the small bundle of blood red cotton balls next to you.

"yikes, thats probably gonna leave a bruise in the morning." you took a sharp breath in from sympathy for him, knowing its gonna hurt for awhile. "man, that sucks. i sleep on that side!" a small pout was put on his face as he complained. "don't worry, its not that bad, just some bruising and a bit of blood. it won't take that long to heal."

after a bit more checking, cleaning and bandaging, you finally stood up to stretch, while itto went to check out what he looked like with all the gauzes around most his wounds. "hm! i kinda like it." itto adjusted his hair a little while looking into his reflection, noticing a few hairs out of place. "kinda gives me the "badass, fighter boy" vibe."

after a long yawn, you looked at him to see what he was talking about. "woah- yeah you're kinda right." you nodded at the sight of your hard work. "right? anyways- sorry that you had to be the one to patch me up. my gang usually does it, but i gave the boys the day to rest since we didn't have anything to do today. my bad!" he gives a little nervous chuckle, shrugging his shoulders.

you smiled at him. "its fine, i don't really mind. i have some experience from needing to heal the other people in my adventure team, so its best i did it." a look of shock was suddenly on the other mans face. "woah- you have an adventure team?" "yup, we do alot of stuff all around teyvat. commissions, important bounties, peoples requests, all that stuff." "cool! if you ever need any help with missions, call my gang up! consider it compensation for the healing." he gave you a cheesy wink, which did make you laugh a bit.

"ill consider it, itto." was all you said, before you realize that your team was probably waiting for you, which made you quickly gather up your (somewhat) used first aid kit. you bid adieu to the oni very quickly, not even waiting for a response before heading back off to inazuma city to find your teammates.

"see you around, pretty boy!" he shouted while he watched you run away from his prephiral vision. it made him a little upset to know he couldn't banter with you anymore, but he knew that he would see you soon.

itto also starts to pack up his things, and head home to the camp his gang was staying at. he was excited to tell them about you, but after a bit of thinking, the oni decided to hold off on it for a little. when he sees you again, he'll definitely be sure to get you as a new recruit for the gang, and introduce you to them by then.
