I really had a blast on this 2000s inspired nostalgia chick, I'm naming her Chloe (cuz I feel like I legally have to name her after a bratz doll)
Can you spot all the Easter eggs? π

Sometimes jobs fall apart halfway and never get off the ground, this one was particularly fun so hopefully the art will get used in some form in the future. In the meantime tumblr, itβs all yours!

~~I think you meant to post this on WAMfurs, oopsie~~
EDIT: changed my mind, it is indeed a Furry version of said photoshoot, under my own rules I stand corrected <3
EDIT2: Commissioner's upload confirms it's based on the irl photoshoot: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/38641791/
Whoever said they were non-functional? Perhaps his tail is prehensile. Perhaps he can grasp objects with those little pincers, shuffling objects from his tail up to his neck, like a conveyor belt made of Xenomorph flesh.
Would make a neat party trick, surely.
Honestly, I disagree -- a dissolving sand Apple evokes less "exciting showcase of future Apple products" and more "slight existential dread". Unless they were intending for an artsy Warhol "it just looks cool, no meaning behind it" thingy.
Either way, I'm glad Cider improved it π
SF has had a lot of stuff added since 2019, but fulfilling Tier quotas, Space Elevator parts & M.A.M. research should be enough to baby-step you through it. And of course, there's no real time limit (especially once you've got coal power running).
If you're feeling genuinely stuck, try:
Time to find some HDDs for alt. recipes :P
Leaves without giving Mal0 a hug? That's just rude >:C
Very good analysis of Furry from the outside, nicely done π Some thoughts I had as I watched it:
Most of the pearl-clutching about Furries seems to come from Puritan countries, esp. USA & UK. Other countries? Quite the opposite. Examples off the top of my head:
Notions of "children"'s mascots almost never occur to any of us Furs, except for the obvious Rule 34 moments. It more feels like, without consciously thinking about it, my childhood interests grew up with me. Does nostalgia play a role? Perhaps some unstated rebellion against squeaky-clean Puritan and Corpo media?
Xenophilia & neophilia are probably the strongest drivers, conscious or not. Every day in this fandom, someone comes up with something both strange and wonderful.
Accordingly, Furry art is a wondrous baptism-by-fire of Queer acceptance (also conscious or not), especially regarding body-positivity. As one gets used to seeing an 8-foot fox with 3 pairs of watermelon-size breasts & multiple tentacle dicks, the discomfort of trans and intersex bodies falls away. (I admit to my shame that transmen once made me uncomfortable; Furry art slowly slapped me out of it.)
It's both flattering and amusing to have "deeper meaning" / "deep sense of self" ascribed to our silly cartoon animals. Most days it feels like Furry simply is, no hidden depths needed. Is all art like this? Β "Just shat out this portrait of some lady over the weekend, it's whatever" ~Leonardo da Vinci, probably
''Nanomachines, son.''
(double in-joke; iirc this is how RenTheDragon explains his "all 20th-century aircraft are Aeromorphs" universe, 2200s nanotech gets teleported back to 1899 or something. It's better than I'm making it sound, I swear, you gotta watch past the 1st season)
I said "Python developers", not "python developers" :)
Also it's the artist's fault XP
Agreed. Interpersonal relationships are stronger bonds then us tech dudes (myself included) tend to appreciate.
People are still on Facebook despite all their unacceptable actions over the years, because the alternative is to completely uproot your whole social circle (everyone all at once, good luck with that) or seriously risk cutting off people you care about.
Almost the same applies to Furs still on Telegram, though afaik TG hasn't ever done anything remotely as bad as Zuck, Elon or Spez
EDIT: sidestepping the uprooting part is what's fantastic about the Fediverse btw; compat and futureproofing between diff websites being a must-have from the start, and that's awesome <3
afaik Imgur stuff stays up forever, unless the post is copyright-claimed, NSFW, or otherwise violates the content policy
