Harp the Wigglytuff @wigglytuffitout@computerfairi.es

after watching the benchmark here's my true reaction to what it looks like smn's gonna get up to in #ffxiv

note: this is the best LAMB SAUCE LOCATED style carbuncle i can do in like 5 minutes ok

urianger gave alisaie the balance and not me.

betrayal. BETRAYAL. i take back EVERYTHING i EVER said even REMOTELY GOOD about your stupid sexy face, urianger. EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!

yes i know alisaie is the rdm and benchmark characters are all drk, and i know alisaie is my beloved daughter, but MOMMY NEEDS HER BALANCE

@InspectorCaracal solidarity

except i'm apparently greying pubes-first. i have no idea what that means.

p.s. scalies exempt from this, but i would also like to introduce the idea: what if pubic scales? thank you for coming to my TED talk.

@eightbitsamurai@elekk.xyz ok but..... is there a One Ear Up One Ear Down option

because that is the MOST powerful

anyway now that i posted that Hot Opinion here's the relevant art for it, feat. my #ffxiv main and Haurchefant

it's nsfw but not actually any fuckin' just nudity and absurdity and a catgirl who has shaved her pubes into a unicorn head.

really there comes a time in every artists' life when they just accept that on some level, they just wanna be oglaf, okay?

P.S. THIS ALSO GOES FOR MIQOTE IN FFXIV AND OTHER CATGIRLS

LOOK AT MY CATGIRL. SHE HAS THE LONG FLOOFY TAIL.

HER PUBES?

SIMILARLY MAGNIFICENT.

HAURCHEFANT GLADLY FLOSSED HIS TEETH MANY A TIME DOWN THERE.

IF YOU AIN'T GONNA AT LEAST GIVE A LANDING STRIP, YOU A COWARD

if you're a furry artist and you draw some furry lewds and yet somehow the genitals are MYSTERIOUSLY FUR-FREE in texture and presentation, especially if there's just a vagina hangin out there all like Whoops! No Hair! No Pubic Hair Would Ever Happen To A Furry!

you are a COWARD and a KNAVE and a FOOL

and i challenge you to a DUEL. PISTOLS. AT DAWN, SIRRAH. AT DAWN

"harp you can probably quit at some point when the person looks as if they've logged off"

nope sorry everyone the matronly sermon continues until it finishes as per schedule. fortunately now we break for coffee and snacks in the lobby. i baked mini scones today too! you're welcome.

@Dayglochainsaw express concerns compassionately, and in ways that are useful. you will probably find that you can help in ways you didn't know about, or that you might have more concrete knowledge about. or you might find reassurance that quiets your worries.

take compassion, reflect it out, turn it in towards yourself, too.

it's ok to just not understand. it's not ok to be an asshole about it.

right, that's my sermon for tonight lmfao

@Dayglochainsaw it is a very efficient way to hurt the other person by making them feel like you view an essential element they value highly in themselves as bullshit, and make them entrench deeper into what you may genuinely be worried is behavior reinforcing mental illness.

it is also not kind to yourself, to treat relating to other humans this way.

@Dayglochainsaw if you're worried about a particular person exhibiting some behavior, and if that behavior is detrimental to their mental health, think about if it is truly useful or kind to go "you really think you're a kitten or whatever?! that's so stupid!", and similar attitudes, such as "hate me all you want! it's good! i WANTED you to hate me! it's GOOD that people are hating me over some TRIVIAL BULLSHIT THAT DOESN'T MATTER!"

is that useful?

is that kind?

to them? to you?

@Dayglochainsaw no single entity on this earth - human, goldfish, what fucking ever - is going to be able to perfectly understand *everything*. i'm never going to know what it's like for a bat to process the world via echolocation - i literally ain't got the neurons for it.

it is terrifying to admit that we can be measured and found wanting. but *everything* is found wanting in one aspect or another.

extend the compassion around to yourself and just go, "i don't get it, and that's ok."

@Dayglochainsaw a quick thought, from someone who is non-kin and also had trouble with this:

i realized that i didn't need to understand perfectly in order to respect it.

it might confuse me, baffle me, and make my brain BSOD. but they understand it, and it is very important to them. it is an essential part of them.

i can be befuddled, but i remember the love i have for my kin friends, and the compassion i try to extend to others, and go "i don't understand and that's ok."

it's freeing.

ok google, how to tell dr you know pain is bad because it's suicidal ideation o'clock without getting slammed in an involuntary psych hold

i don't want anything unreasonable, ok?

i dont need to run marathons

i dont mind being in some pain

i just want to be able to take more than two showers a week

i just want to be able to reliably get to eat 3 meals a day and not 2 or 1 or 0 and just have to graze on snacks because i'm so nauseated from being in pain

why is that so impossible
