I fear no conservative, for they are thin-skinned, weak of will, and slaves to their own fear mongering.

But I fear Rukis' stories. They destroy me, they captivate me, they draw me ever inward on the bittersweet spiral of madness and longing that is Furry People being oppressed for being sexy.

I personally liked the part before that where cuthbert nearly burned is tongue on spicy food. The most disciplined character and he was nearly done in by flavor. 😆

I've seen other authors do this and it's brilliant, don't know why I never thought of it until now. Writing WIPs! I think I may post them here and there. Here's one from 'Red Lantern - Windrose' featuring a conversation between Johannes Cuthbert and Grayson Reed

One of the scariest images I think I've ever drawn.

Like, in a fight? Ouuu, tough one. Would probably depend on whether or not the bobcat caught him by surprise.

Thank you!

I had some tasks and little adventures waiting for me at the seaside.

The 'Passat', a German four-masted steel barque and one of the Flying P-Liners, the famous sailing ships of the German shipping company F. Laeisz. Photo of her in front of a sunset.

Learning to draw by sketching favorite pieces in appreciation #2. Amon and Luther from early Menagerie works, by @rukis.bsky.social of course. Learning to do fur and shading isn't easy. Especially tails are my bane. 😑 Enjoyed doing this one a lot. ❤️

Books are expensive and don't deal with moisture well, but I'm not gonna say we haven't smuggled a well-insulated box or two over the years... the better bet was the printing presses themselves. Did that one gratis.

As for petting... on the first date?!
But of course.

The cold air and intent in this image always rang a bit spooky to me, so why not an image for spooky month?

Lyefield's Treatise on Ego and Property, and Barx's Essays on Utopian Anarchism. Lu and I get into barking mad arguments over the latter on the regular.

A mane's a very personal thing. I try to do as much of my own hair as I can, but when I need help, I go to those who know how to dread a mane in the style of my roots.

Her beautiful mind, of course!

I don't feel that's a fair scale. My love for that fool transcends obtuse numerical quantities.

Maribella Silva, my First-Year Undergraduate Economics Professor. The only thing more radical than the theories she espoused at our underground bar was how seriously I considered giving up everything I was to follow her to the Southern Isles....

It's the persona, I guess. Can't be me.

Better view! Yeah, prefer the bottom in all cases.

Felines in general, they're just... dangerous, tough, feisty ladies!
