Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES (updated 01/22/25)

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
  4. Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
  5. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
  6. Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

I'm finally getting back into drawing! Ended up getting really burnt out last month due to commission work (my clients are lovely for the record! I just find commissions very stressful lol) but finally felt like picking up my tablet again (•̀ᴗ•́)و ̑̑

I've also been playing a lot of Golden Sun lately! Finished the first game and started The Lost Age and man they're just incredible games, can't believe it took me this long to finally play them!!

What do you draw? I commission all my art nowadays it's not expensive and I get exactly what I want. Do you have an insta?

[–] Lycaon@lemm.ee 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Mostly my own original characters which are either humans or anthros lol, with the odd quadruped animal as well! All the commissions I've done have been for people's characters/fursonas too. And alas no insta haha I never posted to any mainstream social media (except I guess DeviantArt but I left back in 2013 lmao)
