If you zapped a bunnytaur with the bunny beam, would it turn into a bunny caterpillar?

I don't know how much bunnier they can safely get... how much bunny is too much. when will it be bunny enough. at what point do we start regulating bunny beam usage to ensure the continued health of these creatures

It has been a while.

I may or may not post my art on here, now that bluesky has been enshittified. Honestly though? Im debating just hosting a website at this point. Get my own domain when I make a living. It seems so much better than just putting all my work into the hands of corporations for them to ruin over and over again. I cant move to other platforms anymore. Im sick of moving from social media to social media, so I should just create a website where I dont have to worry about algorithms or numbers or any of that bullshit.

I might use neocities, but the restrictions they have with functionality might prevent me from hosting my website there. Plus, I have no idea how long neocities will last, or if it will be enshittified one day, like all the other platforms I have been on. I dont think I have the energy to find that out for myself.

I dont want to get too vulnerable here, but ive struggled with seeing any value in my art for a very long time. Im sure others have had this experience as well. And social media really amps it up because now you have statistics to compare your art to. Ever since I have had the privilege of experience cohost before it was shut down, how there was no algorithm or likes or repost number bullshit (just comments but thats it), I never wanted to go back. I wish cohost still existed honestly. I will forever be upset that its gone. But I will use that passion to make my own website for myself. Nothing special or fancy. Something that works. Maybe I will have to figure out how to make my gallery more dynamic with typescript? Not sure. Regardless, I dont know if I will ever post my art on any social media again. I will show my art to my friends, and one day I will put some of my art on my website, but nothing more.

For those that read this, thank you for taking the time out of your day to read this post. Even if its just one person. Or maybe it'll end up in the void where nobody reads it, but thats okay too. I may repost stuff on this social media. But idk if I will ever post my art again on here.

I hope you have a good day, and if not, then I hope your tomorrow is better.

Is there an elephant shrew Soleil?

somewhere in the infinite multiverse, yeah, that probably exists. i have not drawn her tho. i don't know if i have what it takes. i don't know if i'm strong enough to convey the majesty of this beast in gay pink-haired form. maybe someday.

(i do wanna try SOME kind of rodent next tho, if i keep doing more species swaps in the future. i'm thinking maybe a jerboa)

I've currently heard about Dreamwidth, and I'm keeping a pin on it in case I find more info and more recommendations for it. Same with neocities, but i guess people could argue that some people don't have the time to make their own websites and learn httml and CSS and stuff. No idea if neocities has templates.

Cohost come back to meeeeeee

all i know about Dreamwidth is that their staff (maybe specifically the owner?) kept trying to spread weird conspiracy shit about Cohost when it first started gaining traction, to scare people away with claims that cohost would steal their data or owned all the art they posted or whatever (y'know, the same kind of stuff people freak out about with EVERY social media site whenever they look at a TOS page for the first time and assume the section that permits the site to resize/transmit/share your media outside of its original post format means THEY OWN THE COPYRIGHTS TO ALL YOUR ART OH NO!!). which is obviously the sort of thing random people do innocently all the time and it goes viral before someone can correct/clarify it, but it's a little different and more blatantly bad-faith when you are running a direct competitor website and KNOW that's not actually how any of those clauses work. it's scummy and immature

besides that incident, and a period of time where the Dreamwidth twitter account kept popping up out of nowhere in ppl's replies to recommend their site whenever someone complained about another platform, i have literally NEVER heard of a single person actually using the site. i AM loosely curious if it's any good or has any decent features, but i gotta admit their behavior re: deliberately trying to smear Cohost's reputation a couple years back keeps me from wanting anything to do with them personally
