If you’re trying to get ahold of me on telegram, my account seems to have deleted itself, and all of my chats and contacts. Idk what happened, if it was hacked or what, but literally years of contacts, messages, etc. deleted. I’m completely devastated. So it might be awhile before I recover.

But anyways. Nothing i can do about that on vacation. Next month we’ll see what I can manage.

and so far failing in the other. And failing on most counts of goals i’d set otherwise. The me that was me in 2014 would be disappointed. Which i guess is why i’m disappointed too.

Raveyote @raveyote.bsky.social · 3h

I guess this why i dreaded the coming of my 30’s. For the sense of failure that I’ve been running from for the past five years. And i know its just my perfectionist streak, but it really is disappointing to have spent the better part of a decade chasing school and work, stumbling to success in one,

And while sure I have a few acquaintances from the internet, I really don’t have a lot of people that are constants in my life, and that frustrates me. Feels like i’m cursed to drift through other people’s friend groups the rest of my life.

Raveyote @raveyote.bsky.social · 3h

I guess in part I don’t. I have people who enter my life with aplomb, and drift away. I don’t really have childhood friends. My high school friends are now distant. My few college age friends i feel are constantly drifting in different directions as i desperately try to draw them back together.

but well meaning, bumbling my way out of that. Like a lot of things in my life, i didn’t cherish what I had, until I lost it. Through my own oafish social clumsiness, or through circumstance beyond my control. I guess thats partly why i feel that i really have no lasting or meaningful friends.

Raveyote @raveyote.bsky.social · 3h

It’s funny that for me, growing up was a strange affair because i wasn’t exactly unhappy, but i lacked the fulfilment people get from growing up with friends and other peers in your cohort. That didn’t really become obvious to me until I stumbled into it in high-school. And being socially inept

That said, 2018 was probably the last time I felt like things were going my way. In a lot of ways 2019 and 2020 really derailed my life in ways the prior 5-6 years hadn’t. I’ve grown meaningfully, but painfully. Yet despite the growth i’m less happier now than I’ve been since 2010.

I miss the me that was from a decade ago. I sure said and did stupid stuff, but i hadn’t yet felt the weight of the world and it’s challenges. I was more brazen in my pursuit of my ideas. I think i’ve spent a decade failing to live up to the ambitions I had set for myself then.

It’s a lot of fun, and it’s a slower way of working that you can come back to over a series of days. But it’s best if you have a space you can work in that you can ventilate the fumes, particularly turpentine. You may also need to use more thinner in the winter due to temps.

I need to finish that sculpt and move on to new sculpting projects.

…I don’t think anybody wants a work of fiction centered around the little stupid fights we have with clients as architects.

Which is to say, as a budding writer, I feel I have stories that are less furry centred that may appeal to a wider demographic, and also have limited appeal to furries. Though its hard to estimate with certainty. And in today’s media space, very hard to sell unless your concept has an effective hook

Raveyote @raveyote.bsky.social · 8h

And because its a subset of a subset of an audience, outside of trying to appeal to say a queer romance angle, it’s pretty challenging to find a (large) audience within our space, let alone a story or topic with broad appeal.

Raveyote @raveyote.bsky.social · 8h

But if I ever wrote something with specific appeal to a furry audience I feel like i’d be somewhat lost as to what themes or stories would actually be relevant. Both because furry fiction is such a small space, with a wide span of fiction types. From historical, to fantasy, and much in between.

Raveyote @raveyote.bsky.social · 8h

I guess it’s kinda funny that while I don’t exactly dislike furry literature, I don’t exactly identify with a lot of it. My own fiction writing is more driven by science fiction or fantasy works I grew up on as a young adult. Or television on the sci-fi channel. Some trashy, some good.

Murray’s has been around a hot minute. But their pomade is kinda hard to use with straight hair. I find the “royal crowne” stuff is better if you’re trying to do a pomp. But it will totally destroy pleather bc of the use of mineral oil/petrolatum.

Yall, just use invoices and label them as digital services, that is all you need for taxes and its HOW you are supposed to do business. Stop using friends and family and letting people send money to you. Half the time people are just breaking ToS straight up and that's why they get banned

Paypal is now playing harder ball on artists, going after anyone even mentioning commissions.

Artists, send invoices. That way, no one has to say what the money is for on Paypal's paper trail.

Customers, SAY NOTHING about commissions. Just say "thanks" on donos.

Everyone: INCREASE THE CALLS.
