Harp the Wigglytuff @wigglytuffitout@computerfairi.es

i'm glad i got to end the #splatfest in #splatoon2 on a high note!! (especially because i spent a lot of the time getting my face smashed in LOL...)

realtalk tho i'm going to miss the glittery ink, like, a lot.

@maple words are extremely hard, i understand completely

pain brain usually eats my make-words-go entirely. still kind of recovering from burnout as well. words are hard

@NovaSquirrel honestly i'm sure i would frustrate everyone here to absolute tears because i'm very used to mmorpg style, where i tend to be extremely rapid-fire, and separate up dialog and action (and honestly am usually playing one-and-a-half characters - my ffxiv arcanist and her carbuncle, my hunter and their pet, etc.)

@maple it's easy as pie!*

*if you're a longwinded fool whose prose verges on indigo if not outright purple**

**helps also if you're doing any heavy lifting of worldbuilding or description at the time

i can barely live with 500 characters for normal-ass ramblings y'all. i am the sort of writer that launches into a sentence, then returns, five months later, having grown a full beard, been on an accidental vision quest from ingesting dubious mushrooms, made my own clothing from birch bark, and after having befriended a squirrel after nursing it back to health. it's just how it be sometimes. mommas, don't let your babies be english majors.

people roleplaying on this platform terrify me slightly because of how they work around the word limit

"harp don't you rp in mmorpgs?" yeah but in mmorpgs i don't gotta describe all of the shit that's happening, only SOME of the shit that's happening. left to my own devices i am a longwinded asshole that needs many details shoved in there, half of them purely adverbs. my fav color is purple and so is my prose. i can't live with only 500 characters

I MIGHT NOT BE KILLING THE ROSEMARY CRIMMAS TREE THIS YEAR

accidentally forgot to take it out of the dining room until like. january 2nd. at which point it had sent out a bunch of runners are HEWWO???? ANYSUN THEWE????

but hey that's better than going all brown and sad and dead!!

now it seems happier after sitting in the window a couple of days. i still need to figure out how much/how often to water it but i'll get there. maybe one of those automatic water bulb things???

dogs........... softe. good to pet.

@Nukacola nah, there's a way to do it that they allow that's sort of like sub-accounts on your google account. you can then have them all filter into the same inbox if you want but that i personally haven't done yet

like honestly, if you're trying to draw furry art lewds and are all 'oh god no i can't draw body hair', don't draw furry lewds.

step it back a bit. just draw a big titty nekomimi or whatever. i'll still side-eye you but i won't do it *quite* as harshly.

furries are... furry. they furry y'all. if you got paws and a tail and a non-human face shape, you're gonna have to address the rest. if ya don't wanna, don't get into the game!!!

IS your wolf girlfriend with a nice fuzzy ruff on her neck going to have a completely smooth bikini zone, hm? IS SHE? WHY do people keep DRAWING THAT. for one thing it's rather alarmingly jarring to have that just drawn smooth as a brazilian waxer's dream yet still colored in the same color as the fur and whatnot.

i mean come on. if you want a furry gf you want a FURRY GF. if there is nothing to floss with in those genitals you're a coward, fool and a knave, and this is a stone cold fact

the most cowardly thing i see in art with some regularity:

girly furries being drawn with mysteriously no body hair

sawbones: now, many people don't like cats because they are allergic to them -

me, thinking of the last time i saw a cat and was compelled to go make kissy noises, and dreaming of just putting my face in its fur even though i know that means a gunky nose and crusty eyes: ............hmm sounds fake

"what are han and chewie though" han is a jack russel terrier because of his amazing propensity to cause absolute chaos wherever he goes

chewie is just a dude

"but this is a furry au" yes exactly, so that means the furry-izing ray hits the wookiee and un-furries him instead of making double furry happen. chewie is just a dude. just a regular ass human in among all this shit. don't question me, this is obviously how it all makes sense.

at least in all of this nonsense, luke and leia are clear

leia is a siamese cat, and luke is a golden retriever.

i mean just look at them. it's obvious. luke skywalker IS a golden retriever. he doesn't quite understand what he is doing but he is a VERY good boye trying his BEST and that's the entire original trilogy summed up for you, you're welcome! meanwhile in the back somewhere leia has locked eyes with you and slowly pushed your drink off your desk

@boisdevache@guineapig.party y'know, i had thought about that, but he's a dour killjoy instead of anywhere near jovial. sort of why i ruled out coyotes, even though i'd have loved to make that desert predator connection (insert here a 15 page long ramble that nobody wanted or asked for, about how his upbringing as a slave in the desert is crucial to understanding the character of darth vader etc etc)....

dingoes were also momentarily considered but he hasn't eaten any babies (yet)

of course the real dick answer to this would be to just blight some poor commissioner's inbox

"hey, i want one shitty au darth vader from my fanfic but as a furry please! oh, he's a krayt dragon."

"a *what*"

"yeah we see a skeleton of one in a new hope but otherwise the appearance is a bit all over the map in the comics and whatever haha, here's your money and good luck lol!"

...but just to complicate things, i also have called the motherfucker "prince of cats" ("What, drawn and talk of peace? I hate the word..."), and keep describing him as leonine in appearance, or pantherlike in movement in upcoming chapters (since he's enjoying the fact that, uh, he can be sneaky)

...i think i may just like animal related metaphors too much for my own good
