Like i said, i totally understand your frustration and fear! its real, its valid, and a lot of people just dont understand what's happening. Thank you for the additional information about Project 2025 in regards to the oompa loompa, and Palastine/Israel and Kamala.

To be clear, my main point of response was just to add nuance to those who chose not to vote out of ignorance or because they didnt feel like their vote mattered, or because they werent able to, etc. NOT for those who self righteously chose not to vote or voted 3rd party. I still think it important not to lump all non-voters in the same bad apple box, even if the lack of votes may or may not have contributed to Trump winning the election.

To also clarify - I've never liked him and from what i have seen, i like Kamala. Ive been most frustrated that cheeto dust was allowed to run for president, and regardless of if he is taken out of office or allowed to step in, I hope that the checks and balances in place keep him from accomplishing what he has stated he wants to do.

That being said, I still have hope that he wont be able to do a lot of what he wants to. I know that doesnt stop his followers from being emboldened to do harm though, so I want to also be clear that I pray for your safety. I know you'll have a harder time feeling and staying safe than I, but I am concerned for all of us that are not white, for what some extremist Trump followers might do. Know that if and when those problems arise, you have a support system waiting to have your back, both within and outside of your family. You are not alone.

And, in a few years time, moving to another country will be an option if things happen to get so bad that we cannot stay. I've heard Germany is a nice place to move to, and I've heard a few smaller countries/ islands supposedly pay people to move there...Might be nice to look into that too, might help ease your nerves? :]

Mocha, your frustration is valid - often times taking a whole-y neutral stance causes harm and does he opposite of what the person intended. This may even feel like a direct attack onto you as a person of color and a female, feminine presenting human being. Your feelings are real, even if not the intended result of 3rd party or non-voters.

I do caution against being so quick to judge and for treating this with the harshness expressed here, though. As this others good intentioned people, and paints their actions in the worst possible light. Shaming and insults almost never gets someone onto the side you're advocating for.

It is no one's personal responsibility what the government has done with the lack of their vote. Please note that what's happening in Gaza, as far as im aware, neither candidate had planned on stopping the supply of funds and weapons to Israel (however, Kamala did want to negotiate ceasefire where Trump did not), and regardless of that - Again, no one is personally responsible for the decisions the government is making in that regard unless they voted FOR that to happen. It's important not to loose nuance in this conversation, lest we misplace blame and/or shame people for trying to do the right thing.

Many people I know chose not to vote because they felt hopeless that their vote would count for anything. Some didnt vote because they couldn't put their trust in either candidate to lead the country how they saw fit, and it's their right to do so. Many dont know about project 2025, and personally while I DO know about it and know that much of it is against everything this country was founded on - I *Dont know* how much of it Trump was personally involved with or backs, because I havent seen an actually reliable source for that information. I dont know how much of that is rumor, or propaganda or fear mongering. Many people who voted 3rd party or chose not to did so out of "the election is rigged anyway so it doesnt matter", or out of "God has this under control, I don't know who to trust or vote for, let His will be done".

I almost didnt vote for these reasons. I dont trust political candidates as far as i can throw them. I don't have much control over what happens in government, even with my vote, simply because I'm just one person and political candidates in recent years have been known to kind of just...do their own thing.

But I chose to vote because, putting individual policies aside, I disagreed on principal of one of the candidates being allowed to rerun after everything that's happened, and I believe that one has shown much better character and self control. I dont agree with everything they stand for; They're not my friend, and they're not the savior this country needs. I've seen the harm that can be done when an orange man's audacity gains him leadership, and in turn empowers similar minded people to act on their biases after him.

I know that things are hard right now, and there is a lot of fear around what's going to happen once office is handed over to "cheeto man" (a fun nickname i've heard floating around lol). No one truly knows what's going to happen, but rest assured that God is in control. Also know that IF project 2025 was authored (entirely or in part) by Trump, that there will be time for the people to respond, and for the checks and balances in our government to potentially step in and take the control back into the hands of the people.

the country will not crash and burn overnight. You *will* have time to fight back if and when the time arises. For now, we wait, we watch, most importantly we pray and continue to do what we've been called to do through it it all. We have to be there for one another, teach and guide in love where applicable.

Love you Mocha, im here for you if you need me. My DMs are always open.

Friends can actually cuddle? I never knew that.

Absolutely! tho many friends dont, for personal preference reasons and it may be more of a woman thing than men. And by cuddle, i dont mean like...Laying on top of each other cuddle, moreso just being physically close while snuggled up. Either could be platonic, but i dont think bearstack cuddling is super common with friends.

Granted, I have never been the type to be super aware of social norms. And, me personally, i dont usually cuddle friends for a variety of reasons. :]

[may-bee-its-just-me]

anon is incorrect, many friends do cuddle - especially close friends, and women. I've cuddled with friends before, and while its not usually my preference, its def also a platonic thing. For goodness sake, the whole friend group i went "camping" with had to share a tent because the second one didnt stand up to the weather, so we were all cuddled up with each other, two people/two and a half people per air mattress, just to fit all....6ish of us with our bags lining the sides.

I cuddled with Mocha on the plane to/from New Orleans for a bit while she napped.

Actually, Venin. While friends can live together, friends don't actually cuddle together. The only friends who do that are ones who are dating.

Venin: LALALA I'M NOT LISTENING TO YOU-! IT'S TOTALLY NORMAL FOR FRIENDS TO CUDDLE, I KNOW IT'S TRUE! ⚠️

Meet the artist :]

And a bonus Mod human drawing:

[may-bee-its-just-me]

uh oh, mod art dump.

TW; some of these are emotionally heavy and 1.5 of them depict gore.

I've been working on some stuffs and havent shared em here yet lol

First four here are drawings accompanying sort of poetry style writing, in most/all of these I experimented with my drawing process and with coloring, as well as the subject matter I wrote about or how I wrote it on the page.

Now below we have a series of drawings, the first of which was drawn about a year ago when I fell in love. The second two have been made since the break up. The first of the recent drawings was made a month ago and the second drawing was made about two weeks ago. Same as the previous drawings, all of these included style experimentations.

Misc; The first drawing aimed to vent about my unreliable memory and brain fog. The second draws my now not so much boyfriend, as a pony/changeling based off of the code name my friends have given him - Wasp.

Thanks for viewing my mini art gallery, come back next time for more totally #deep art bruh...

SO I need to learn to read, I forgot i have a mod-blog where yall also send me ask...My bad :')

thank you anon for the positivity.

(Wise Anon asks) Always stay positive, never let the bad stuff bring you down

Lemon: Egh, that kind of messaging was hammered into me a lot and I have opinions. TL;DR - Balance dude, balance.

Sure staying positive in minor inconveniences is a good idea, but theres a time and place for being happy and sometimes, it just isnt the time or place. Sometimes shit just sucks. you know you'll get through this stuff too, but it still sucks and it's still bothering you in the now, and that's fine too.

Sometimes when fall down and break your leg, laying on the floor for a bit to cry and cuss at whatever tripped you before eventually getting back up, is the most appropriate response. For your sanity.

thats just my two cents tho

Life update, part ???

Hey yall so due to some personal life things I might be opening long term commissions to add to my current income. If anyone knows good resources for how the taxes and paperwork side of things works in the USA, feel free to send those my way. I don't really know where to start with that.

I may need to move out sooner than I'd been planning on. I've been waiting to move out until i have a car and my license, but i may need to move out sooner if I can find a roommate or two in my area (Likely a friend, my dad, or a coworker.) Things at home have been rough on and off for the last year or so, and more recently I've been finding myself feeling like i'm constantly holding my breath waiting for the next thing to go wrong in between blow ups and conflict. It's causing me a lot of anxiety and stress that make it harder to keep up with personal care and taking care of life things (like getting a car sorted out)

Close friends know somewhat of what's been going on, I won't be posting about the details nor do I think anyone here really needs/wants to know. I just thought I'd share this bit.

If anyone has any suggestions for commission types, YCH poses, or drop whatever they'd like to comm. from me in the notes, feel free. Pricing suggestions are also welcome.
