i love closed species but i feel like trying to participate in their communities has just made me more self-conscious about my autism. i feel like i come off like some sort of creepy orbiter in the few spaces i try to interact in when that isnt the case at all. my autism primarily impacts my abilities to communicate and make friends, so it just really hurts and really sucks when i get ignored or treated differently when i try to be nice and speak to people.

people who say "just leave" when someone complains about a cs don't understand the concepts of process addiction or the sunk cost fallacy. cs as a whole profits off of the mental vulnerability of people, it's the process addiction piece. when you tell someone to "just leave" a cs, you're essentially saying "just stop being swayed by the manipulative facets of this and leave". it's not always that simple. please let's be kinder as a whole to people who have found themselves in a hard situation.

(general) Creators of closed species act like gatekeepers, keeping their prized ""inventions"" and making others feel inferior. It's all about exclusivity, as if you're a member of some snobbish club. Not to mention the money-grabbing element, with prices being counted in three fucking digits. They monetize creativity by selling design rights, breeding slots, and characters, transforming it into a cold, profit-driven machine, with bunch of whiteknights witch hunting people who just happened to come up with a design idea that fits the unoriginal tropes of those species. And yes, maybe I am salty, but I am too tired of this shit

Specie Owners be like “I love my Community” and then turn around behind the scenes making lists of who’s their latest most prized cash cow.

🪦 Been there, dealt with that. I don’t know what you’re expecting out of the specie community anymore, Anon. Never met a genuine specie owner in my life.

can’t decide if he’d be a comp sci student or a business kid so i drew both

cs!major tim drake hcs

- would not touch grass

- no one would know that he’s tim drake bc all he does is stay in his room and rot

- that’s tim drake? you’re lying there’s no way

- is he doing his work? no he wouldn’t he’d half ass everything but still somehow get 100% on every assignment because he is just That Guy

- bro forgets he has assignments because he’d never been to and probably will never goes to a single class ever

- he would do so well in all extracurriculars if he tried but he just try-harded high school so he could get into university but now he’s doing side projects and not trying at all because Cs get degrees (still doesn’t gets Cs because he’s just so good)

buisness!major tim drake

- would look so put together (he always pulls up in the most subtly expensive fits )

- bro would wear makeup to hide the eye bags

- literally only goes to school to network and scout out possible future hires for his company

- LITERALLY A NEPO BABY

- still does not try in class (again barely goes to class)

- everyone has a campus crush on him

- is obsessed with linkedin

-literally already has a business is literally going just for shits and giggles

anon who dislikes gender variables in cs, I’m also non binary and I disagree. You can still identify as non binary regardless of your presentation or AGAB. Think outside the box, also. Maybe in the species males have horns, and females don’t. So, what if your trans or non binary character modifies their horns in some way, or if they don’t have them, they use prosthetics? It’s only a problem if the species restricts that freedom imo

Sometimes I wish cs servers never have a suggestions channel because people need to shut the fuck up. I’m not gonna ask a stranger I never or barely fucking pay to cater so much to me tf man

Sometimes I forget I'm perceived and known by people and sometimes I get to my favourite bar for their pub quiz and they've reserved us a table without us asking cause they know we're quiz regulars and they like chatting with us and my tiny calloused heart grows four sizes

I think my secret new method for finishing wips is to choose a few wips you really like to make playlists about. When you want to write, choose one of your wip playlists (which ever one you're vibing with that day) and tell yourself you have to work on that wip while listening to its playlist. That way you've made a decision about what to do and don't have all that jumping back and forth that happens sometimes when writing.

I created a species years ago, one that no one had looked into on DA back when it still fun to post there. A friend of mine gave me a TH code so that I could move everything over before the Eclipse takeover, and after I moved, I found out that someone had literally copied my species trait from trait, and even the name was near identical.

It was quite the shock, because the person who ripped off my species was actually a pretty good artist and I was a literal nobody, I didn't think that anyone would actually rip off my ideas as shamelessly as they did. I wanted to say something to them, but in the end I just let it go and dropped working on anything species related for the last five years because of it.

Today, I was randomly going through some files I had on my old PC and found my old species trait sheets and mascots, and it sparked something into me to start working on and recreating species again. I'm going to work on building back up what I once had, especially now that we have CharacterHub to work with.
