If yall could PLEASE stop posting false info on tumblr, that would be greeeeat.
Hey there! It all started 3 years ago when we started renting our current home. The place is 2br, 1bath with a sunroom for our elderly cat. All for 690 bucks a month. Water included. Sounds great right? Wrong.
Fast forward to today. Our roof has been leaking consistently for 3 years. They sent out contractors 4 times and the water coming in has not lessened. Our furniture is ruined. Our carpets are ruined. The leasing agency says ‘we are sorry’ and we never see another maintenance crew again.
Our refrigerator died while we were at work. We came home to a loud grinding sound and all of our food had gone bad. We asked for a new fridge but they said we would have to purchase one ourselves. And when we leave, we have to leave the new fridge to “replace the one we broke”.
Our water heater burst into flames. We came home from work and our home was full of smoke. Our waterheater had started an electrical fire and was spewing smoke. We contacted the leasing office about the fire. They tell us we have to buy our own water heater, but same thing, we have to leave it behind when we leave.
In frustration, we start looking at 'in-line’ water heaters only to discover that our current water heater was wired against code. And we would have to have the house rewired to put in a new waterheater!
We contacted the office and they said the same thing. “Sorry”.
And then they raised our rent without telling us. We accumulated so many late fees while we didnt know we were behind, that we had to pay 1200 a month for 6 months to keep from being evicted.
In this time, remember, we have no water because the power to the water tank was shut off, and we cant buy groceries because refrigerator is dead.
Weve been informed that we can sue the leasing company for refusing to replace the broken appliances and because the roof leaks and now we have to keep buckets to keep our carpets from rotting . But now the floor in the hallway is falling in.
We just want to move. We are so tired. We have started saving to buy a house so we never have to deal with these people again. We just need help with this last bit of money. Its so hard to save money when living in slum conditions like this. We have to drive half an hour to my mothers house to bathe and between gas for the week and our new 750$ rent its going to be cheeper to pay a mortgage.
Please help.

Beware Aubrey-Face
A short while back I traded two characters I had for two other characters by PoofyLion.
Notes
Then I saw one of the ones I traded to her pop-up in my feed from another artist, reselling for cash. This is against Yuuri’s TOS regarding adopts and is also really sleazy since it was not bought in resell. I didn’t say anything, as I like to avoid drama involved in buying/selling characters and stuff, but then I saw her make a post trying to sell the other character I had traded to her for $150. I don’t have screenshots of that, but I do have one from the buyer confirming how much she paid. It came to my attention today that this was a regular thing she does when I saw this in my inbox. I blocked out the artist involved in selling the characters since I don’t know how much she’s aware of the situation or her involvement. Poofylion posted a journal regarding people reselling characters for more than they paid and in auction, which led to me speaking up about my experience with the same person. Several people then noted me about her, saying they had similar experiences and that they’ve told her before about trying to resell characters for more than she paid or ones she acquired in trade. She starts DMing me over Discord about it, as seen below, claiming she didn’t know any better and accusing me of smearing her name and calling me a bully before blocking me.Please avoid selling/trading characters to her. She’s using them as fodder to make money and this is consistent behavior from her.

The “I probably shouldn’t have clowns” Starter Pack
Clowns are creatures that need to clown. They were not meant to be domesticated and profited from as pets. They are highly active creatures that will self harm from stress in such confined spaces. Circus Clowns are delightful to keep in groups, though they are fine on their own, but every 1 clown adds 30 square feet to the space needed. They need multiple props and performance areas in order to replicate their natural environment. These are examples of proper Circus Clown or other basic clown enclosures.
Candee Fluff is a horrible brand of cotton candy, I used to feed it to my clowns and they would just throw it back up. The sugar is all unprocessed, when clowns need highly refined white sugar, just because it’s cheaper. Which is something they don’t list on the packaging to fool clown owners. Ideally you should only feed your clown freshly whipped cotton candy. Large mixers may be expensive but a simple childrens make-your-own candy floss machine will suffice if your budget is tight.
Clowns shouldn’t be confined to a car. (Especially a childrens car..?) Clowns are curious creatures that need to jump, tumble, honk and play to be healthy. Keeping them locked in a car 24/7 as a toy for your kids will stress them out in much the same way as a hamster in a ball. Clowns do enjoy having access to a clown car, especially in groups, but their car should provide 1 square foot per clown and their enjoyment comes primarily from exiting the vehicle in large numbers. Keeping them locked inside can reduce their lifespan by up to 10 years. A small human-sized compact car may be suitable for larger groups of clowns.
I’m cringing at that rainbow collection of “my mommy got me a cute clown” balloon sticks. These are creatures that need to run around with helium balloons. They need to bounce and float away when released. Air-filled balloons on sticks are not a suitable replacement. This is the proper set up for a clown or more modern jesters.
Clowns get stressed from any foot confinement under size 16. Clown shoes are the worst item for being sold to kids as “accessories” in human foot sizes. When kept like that the clown will die a horribly stressed life within a year when they can live for 60 or more. They need colourful shoes or boots with plenty of toe-space and loud squeakers. Clowns are so intelligent that they actually play with you, and they need podiatric stimulation to live healthy. These are proper clown shoes.
Never change the natural markings of a clown. This should go without saying, but I see people buying halloween store ‘clown makeup’ and attempting to alter their clown’s faces. Clowns use their facial markings to identify one another, and altering it may cause stress, and even endager the clown if you keep several in the same tent.
Who the fuck would even feed an omnivorous clown pellet food…? Do they want a sick clown? If clown stores even bothered to care about the keeping of clowns, they would know that shit is bad for them. If you can’t feed fresh peanuts and hot dogs then you shouldn’t own a clown in the first place. Pellet food isn’t even real food, it’s chemically made with preservatives.
hey quick question what the fuck
A niche part of the larger "furry" subculture, bird costumers create carefully crafted, life-size versions of avians and other bird-like creatures.
Hey my dudes! Back in February I was interviewed by Audubon about my bird masks. I later found out that they were also interviewing @rah-bop as well and man I am super excited to be in an article with one of my besties. I’d sort of forgotten about it and had incorrectly guessed that maybe they didn’t want to use the interview/story after all. Imagine my surprise when it popped into my timeline on social media just a few days ago! The article being tied so much to furries and Anthrocon was a bit of a surprise as well, though not a bad one. Though I do not consider myself a furry, I have had a mostly positive experience with the furry fandom. I find furries to be like most any other fandom: Mostly a celebration of the things they love, art-loving, and with some individuals that make people miserable. I generally don’t go to many cons; normally just one a year (none this year, sadly). I can say that the furry fandom is just a group of people, a group of people that I’ve had an overwhelmingly positive interaction with, but any group of people is going to have problematic individuals. It is a symptom of human society, not of any specific fandom. Still, after the article posted on social media I did catch flack both in public and in private for it. Some was, I suspect, due to the fact that people don’t read the articles and just have a kneejerk reaction to something they don’t understand. That said, some of the comments I received seemed to come from informed individuals and were most unkind. I know that this is also just “part of being online”… trolling and people being asshats has become a standard. Still, a few of the really nasty comments hurt my heart deeply. I won’t pretend that 100% of my masks I’ve made over the years were created for some noble cause. Some were– I DO genuinely do a fair bit of educational and conservation outreach with these– but honestly some were just made for fun! Regardless, I do hope to do some measure of good in the world. It’s so hard to feel hopeless with the assault on the environment and species at risk, and doing even these little things helps me cope. To be called perverted, a sicko, etc, is hard. I had someone suggest I stop making them entirely because it’s a perverted way to educate people. I make these with great love and admiration for the animals that inspire them. This has nothing to do with sex. This is not how I wanted to say this, but if it helps: I am asexual. My art is about respect for my subject matter. It is terrifying for me to even post this, because it makes me feel so vulnerable. I hate posting stuff like this on Tumblr, where it’s out there for all eternity and I can’t even make edits if I find that this was too hard on me to post. Still, it’s been weighing on me for days and I just wanted to share my perspective. Also I just wanted to let you all know that I was also surprised by the word “Elite”. I do not consider myself as such and I’m guessing they just needed an attention grabbing headline. Anyone that makes costumes that they like, at any skill level, is awesome. Also this bit: “In the world of elite costuming, it is considered extremely tacky to dress in a store-bought outfit.” I don’t know where this came from but both myself and Rah-Bop disagree! Gosh darn it, please just have fun however you want to, buy that costume from a store or an artist and ROCK IT. Gatekeeping a fun activity about love of a character/theme and self-expression is stupid, don’t do it. (edit: 1. We did request an edit to this part of the article. Edit 2. Sorry for typos, I was very nervous typing this up)

if you have money to spare and can help her out, you can: cashme, paypal, amazon wishlist. here’s her twitter for updates.
Not only do they do this but they also pick and choose who they “help” if someone is lgbt they refuse you
A character I’ve been noodling at: Mokoh! He looks like a dragon and uses that to his advantage, but has devil in his blood (or is one, wolf in sheep’s clothing concept).
His power is “luck”, meaning he can manipulate averages in reality (A Bad Luck dragon). He wanders selling trinkets. The statues absorb malevolence in an area, proportional to the size of item. This transfers as his own magic to fuel his personal powers.
He’s a bit of a friendly jerk, has one hell of a poker face, and isn’t scared to fight (of course he cheats).
I’m still nailing him down, but he’s fun to draw. I can’t wait to move on to character interaction.
Wonderful!

THERE’S A PSYCHOLOGICAL EXPLANATION FOR THE WESTERN WORLD’S PROLIFERATION OF FURRIES??
Okay no, you can’t just drop a knowledge bomb like that and not EXPLAIN! Or at least link! Gimme a search term?! Anything!
ok i’ll write up the lightning-bolt of bizarre mental synthesis later but here:
the pacific standard article and the pdf of the study in question
find the term “folkbiological reasoning” and peruse this paragraph in the psmag article:
“Studies show that Western urban children grow up so closed off in man-made environments that their brains never form a deep or complex connection to the natural world. While studying children from the U.S., researchers have suggested a developmental timeline for what is called “folkbiological reasoning.” These studies posit that it is not until children are around 7 years old that they stop projecting human qualities onto animals and begin to understand that humans are one animal among many. Compared to Yucatec Maya communities in Mexico, however, Western urban children appear to be developmentally delayed in this regard. Children who grow up constantly interacting with the natural world are much less likely to anthropomorphize other living things into late childhood.”
now consider, and i say this in the least pejorative way possible, that furry culture seems to arise at least partially from a desire/instinct to anthropomorphize and identify with non-human animals, often in broad, non-species-specific categories (cat, dog, etc.).
i need to lie down
As an outsider to furry culture the whole thing is really interesting.
I approach animals from a certain point of view (veterinary medicine) and I think I understand them, what they are and what they do pretty well. I assumed somebody who goes around introducing themselves as a cat, for example, actually knows something about cats.
Not in this case.
So one evening my brother brought a few of his friends around to my home with fursonas consisting of a dog, cat and kangaroo.
I was bottle raising a litter of seven adorable kittens at the time (a handful and a half, let me tell you) and I thought this was brilliant. Three animal lovers, in my home, which don’t have any pets of their own. Perfect future kitten owners, right?
I mean, at a certain stage in kitten season you start trying to pimp out those cute little fuzzballs to anybody.
Mr Cat Fursona had no idea what to do with a real live cat or kitten. He’d never interacted with one, he’d only seen pictures and videos. He was so thoroughly awkward, and possibly a little bit afraid, completely unsure about how to hold them, what to do if they wiggled and even if they were happy. He marveled at the way their ears twitch when they swallow but freaked out about their toileting habits. And to my surprise he wasn’t actually interested in these real cats for more than three minutes.
They had minimal interest in this litter of kittens, they were not interested in real animals. They were not familiar with real animals.
I don’t think they’re ascribing human characteristics to an animal. This group seemed to be taking perceived animal qualities (eg dog=loyalty, cat=aloof) and applying it to themselves. Even if the real animals don’t actually have those qualities at all, they were interested in the qualities that society had assigned those animals and then applying that to themselves. Is was society’s concept of a cat that was of interest to him, not the real thing.
So you can be a cat, it seems, without knowing a single thing about cats. And perhaps if he had grown up with cats then he wouldn’t have chosen one for his fursona.
Fascinating!
I grew up in the woods, in farm country, very close to nature and animals. I wonder if that’s why I’m not a furry? *shrug*
id like to thank god, jesus, and those bullshit lake camps my parents sent me to when I was ten
here’s the post I was referring to.
This post is a bit irritating to me. Whether on purpose or not, this is a bit insulting and pretty blatantly untrue. I’m literally a year away from my BA in Biology and Animal Science, and I know several other furries that are studying veterinary and wildlife medicine, or are into taxidermy, or at the very least, love to go camping. Not to mention, it would probably be more of an anomaly if I knew a furry that didn’t have a pet than one that did.
Tumblr has this weird thing where they like to speculate on the furry subculture but never dare to actually contact a single one. Like, if you want to know why a furry is a furry so bad, just ask. It’s not an enigma.
Some reasons people are furries, just off the top of my head, include:
dyscalculia and difficulty recognizing faces, but fursonas are colorful and unique and a lot easier to recognize;
intense bullying and unstable homes and furry was a support network;
was just a bookish kid that loved redwall/other fantasies;
mental/physical disability and furry was, again, a support network;
or a VERY big and VERY OFTEN overlooked factor: LGBT looking for other LGBT. Literally almost 75 percent of furries are some flavor of LGBT.
The furry subculture, like any subculture, cannot be pinned down to one definitive reason why it exists, but it follows a pattern of attracting people that are in any way marginalized: LGBT, mental or physical disorders (i know of several Deaf, autistic/asperger’s, and crippled furries, and I personally have anxiety), or just generally meek, shy, nerdy, artsy, or ‘weird’ kids.
I loved dragons for as long as I can remember. I was also intensely bullied, and the idea of covetous, protective dragons keeping me safe from people pulling my hair or kicking my desk was just reinforced from that. Then I found that ‘furry’ thing and I found my partner and we both had the same mental escapes and bullying problems when we were in grade school. Now we’ve known each other for almost a decade. Whoops.
People with no experience to the subculture tend to be really, really repulsed by it and I still don’t know why. I guess it’s because it looks intensely childish and naive and cringey, and that can be true with some furries, especially. I’m not denying that. But the weird outright hostility and patronization is something I can’t tolerate, especially when such a large percentage of furries are marginalized in some way or another. Like, a lack of exposure to the outdoors? Come on, dude.
Reblogging for the last bit.
Art watchers, please pardon this reblog of non-art content here! I’d like to add my personal experiences to missrupa’s point.
I grew up in the mountains of Colorado, and I was a very outdoorsy wild kid. I learned to do things that not a lot of kids do, like track elk and deer, identify tracks, scat, dens, kills, and markings of dozens of species that existed in those woods. I could catch fish from a river by hand, and wild rabbits by hand with the aid of my accidentally rabbit-herding trained dog, Wolfy. I would go out in the winter with bird seed, spread it around me, sit down with some in my open palms and wait for as long as it would take to be overcome by wild birds. My sister and I trained ourselves to move in such a slow way that we could pet hummingbirds at our feeder. My family rescued and rehabilitated lots of injured wildlife we came across, and I’m one of the few people in my friends group who can say they’ve seen wild mountain lions multiple times. Hell, I literally physically bumped into a coyote once while hiking because we both came around a tight bend at the same time, and that’s one of the countless times I’ve had friendly close encounters with yotes. I seriously could go on and on!
I had a VERY close relationship with the outdoors and the wild as a kid, and I grew up to lead my adult life steeped in the furry world. I’ve lost a lot of those weird/cool skills as a grown up (I doubt I could catch a sleeping pigeon, let alone a rabbit or a trout by hand these days), but I spend my time making art of and for furries, connected with the wild through my imagination. When I’m not painting, I’m often outside.
I’m not a part of furry culture because I didn’t go outside as a kid, I’m part of furry culture BECAUSE I went outside as a kid. We all got our reason’s to be here!
Im so confused. So my mom bred German shepherd dogs and was a vet. We went camping and spent 85% of our freetime outdoors. I grew up with cats and dogs and bunnies and ducks..
I love bunnies. Im a furry because its great to create something..to make your own character. To be part of a universe full of anthromorphs. Its like for a moment you're living in a book and its super fun and exciting.
Why do i have to be mentally ill or sheltered to enjoy art or books or animals?
“I want to speak to a manager,” the middle-aged woman said in her stern I-used-to-be-a-soccer-mom-ten-years-ago voice, looking down at me over the top of her Gucci reading glasses.
A wicked grin split across my face and the gates of Hell opened up behind me, releasing a gust of hot wind that whipped my apron around my body and forced the woman to shield her face. Demons came forth, dancing around in flames with songs of, “She wants to speak to a manager. Did you hear that? She wants to speak to a manager!” before erupting into earsplitting shrieks of laughter, none louder than my own cackling.
I took in the woman’s look of utter horror before my eyes rolled back into my head and I growled,
“I am the manager.”
a thing for one of my favorite posts on this site
Never not reblog. Also, I totally imagined Death Note music.
It’s back!
