I work nights and was heading to work when I saw a small animal on the shoulder. I was going 55 and what turned out to be a fox made a dash for the other side. I think my headlights disoriented the poor thing because it froze then ran in circles a few times. Luckily I was able to hit my breaks in time. When I stopped the fox took off and made it the rest of the way.

Definitely not setting up a playlist or anything for future commission/request streams.

We always talk about what music, movies, games we like but never any active fun. I think it'd be good to talk about that gets us outside or at lest off our butt.

I enjoy adrenalin pumping and near death type stuff. Mostly winter ones like snowmobing and snowboarding, but that's because it's winter most of the year where I live. In the summer I do lots of motor cross and competitive marksmanship. Also got into rock walls a little while ago.

Let's give this a test run at the very least. If it doesn't work, oh well, we can at least say we tried.

Rather than make dozens of individual "draw my sona" threads each week, let's try collecting them into one post.

Requesters! Comment with what you're looking to have drawn. I'll leave that up to you. If you would like to make it an art trade, specify that you're willing to draw in return!

Artists! Come browse through the comments just like you would in your own free offer threads, pick and choose. Help make someone's day a bit brighter!

I know I'll be checking through here this weekend (end of the weekend, to give everyone a fair chance) to draw some of your requests, I hope other artists would be willing to do the same.

In fact I PLEAD to those artists to participate.

Let's give this through Sunday to comment, so plenty of people have a chance to make a request. This is a first time thing so let's give it room for error.

Something I noticed at the extremities over the cholrine debate and now the Atlanta trailer theft is this weird persecution complex some folks seem to have with the fandom. This might come across as a bit of a ramble or a rant but I think is a message that could be taken to heart.

The world is not "us versus them." We are people and members of society first, furries second. The fandom is grew out of the internet, it attracts those of us who yearn for a different identity, and a form of escapism. We need not look far for our fandom cousins. Trekkies, Star Wars Fans, Potter-heads, Whovians.... we all share a similar desire to escape the mundane world into the realms of fantasy.

The problem I see, is that while these other fandoms have folks who take things so seriously, I've never seen them have such an adversarial outlook apon the internet and world as we see in the Furry fandom. Some may call it furry drama, but when a truck gets stolen and the first thought that comes to several people's minds is that it was stolen by a "fur hater" (I'll come back to that term in a moment) we have to stop and ask ourselves if we're taking things a bit too far. There is no conspiracy of fur haters. The world is not judging your fandom (in fact, the world really just doesn't care). Trolls are just that.... trolls.

There is no need to get defensive over the fandom, if someone expresses a criticism or an ignorant joke you don't need to jump to the defend the sanctity of your preferred hobby like its your own child. Every time you do you make the entire group look just a little bit more rabid, or a little bit more crazy. Think of it this way, say you don't know sports, so you make a ill-informed football joke. Some football fan starts furiously explaining how the sport works, why your joke is wrong, tells you to leave, gets upset, and just generally makes an ass of them self. You'd probably think that's pretty weird, seeing as you don't interact with sports fans that often you'd probably start to think that sports fans are just like this. Well, there honestly isn't much difference between our hypothetical sports fan and some members of the furry fandom. You got two good options, politely attempt to correct them, or just laugh it off and distance yourself from the person. There is no need to start a shit-fest over it.

As for the term "fur-hater." I won't say there isn't someone out their who simply hate furries as a concept, the world is too big for that. But people are generally similar to each other, and you probably aren't that far off the median of behavior. Do you get irrationally angry at some group for no reason? I'm willing to guess probably not. If someone is hating, they're probably a troll. They thrive of pushing the buttons of others, and when stuff like the chlorine brings out the worst in us then they fucking eat it up. Your fandom belongs to you, your love of furry is yours alone. It should not matter what someone else thinks, ESPECIALLY if they're a stranger. Ignore them, laugh it off, don't engage, and for the love of god leave the furry drama at home.

Sorry for the rambling rant, just wanted to say that.
