I really want to make something like this for Dianna in Second Life.

Yeah, I got a loooong way to go before I am that good, if ever. :)

Lovely work!

Crazy Cat Lady At The Club

To be fair, Kerensky didn't become a Furry, he tried to build a Better Society out of a bunch of demobilized soldiers, and it didn't go well for a variety of reasons.

His *son* became a Furry, and as for wild, wacky, and horrible new problems, well, there were about 20 of them, though the number has fluctuated since.

There's a case to be made that the Fifth Succession War has started in the IlClan Era, given that Alaric has declared himself First Lord of the Star League and war breaking out all over, but the name has not yet taken hold.

who Started the succession wars

not who won them

not who joined in them to keep it going

who STARTED each one

what was the kick-off event, the goal of the original spark of war, etc

On this day in 2023, 'LACKADAISY' premiered on YouTube.

Happy 2nd anniversary!

My fucking cat has figured out how to gently dig his claws into my eyelid and pull my eyes open while I'm sleeping. He does this. It does not hurt. He is remarkably precise and gentle. I however am asleep when it happens and do not appreciate being clockwork oranged by a needy clingy goddamn animal who thinks he needs attention.

Just told a racist to fuck off in Discord. Little shits are popping up everywhere.

Look, dumbass. A lot of Asian people are saying, "This shit is racist." If you disagree, if you want to "well actually" the whole thing, guess what that makes you?

A racist.

Dealing with Flat Earthers is a pain. However, I have found a foolproof way to deal with them.

Call their bluff. Tell them, "OK, fine. Let's go. You are going to take me to the Edge of the Earth, and you can prove that you are right."

Most of them are just going to back down and mutter angrily at that point. Very occasionally, you get someone so committed to the bit that they load you and lots of gear up and take you off to see the Edge of the Earth.

And, you do you, but: when I encounter one of those hardcore Flat-Earthers? I go with them the whole way, and when we reach the Edge of the Flat Earth?

I push them off.

Ngl I totally forgot fandom discourse was a thing. I don’t care man, I have car payments

I spent a good chunk of my weekend scrambling to finish this comic. I hope you like it. I was really trying to push myself with the colours.

The voiceover is hilarious.

Fuck - and I can’t stress this enough - yeah.

The Astronomy Outfits

When I first started making outfits for Dianna in Second Life, it wasn't very long before she asked for something to do with Astronomy.

It may seem counterintuitive that someone who is totally Blind in Real Life would want to dress her 3D avatar up in pictures of nebula and comets and stuff. She's always been fascinated by space, reads books by astronauts, listens to astronomy podcasts, takes in as much as she can. She cannot see the stars, but she definitely yearns for them.

So, out of the many outfits I have created for her in SL, several use images from NASA and similar sources.

Just gonna go in alphabetical order here:

The California Nebula! I do recall this was one of the earlier ones where I was trying to get the image to actually wrap around on the skirt. Which is tricky. There's over 20 panels in each skirt, and you have to adjust the offset on each one juuuuust so.

The Cashew Nebula. This is one of my early attempts--I may try redoing it. It looks pretty, and does fun things when she twirls, but I want to see what else I could do in terms of spacing it around the skirt.

Cassiopeia-A. This is one of the earliest designs, though it has aged well: she wore it dancing at The Cellar on Tuesday, to several compliments. The skirt is not one I constructed it: it's a full-permission ballgown that I bought from Priim Magic and retextured.

Comet Hyakutake! This uses this image right here and while it is an early attempt, it has aged very well indeed! When she twirls one way, it flares white, and when she twirls the opposite, it turns darker. It's a lot of fun to watch on the dance floor.

Again, the skirt is not one I constructed, but Priim Magic's work. That's important to note: making those things takes a lot of math, and I relied on Priim's stuff until I found the old Loop-Rezzer script and adapted it. Flexi-skirts are challenging to make.

Jupiter! Specifically some false-color images of Jupiter's bands. My most recent creation here, wasn't going for too fancy.

Orion's Nebula. Another one from last summer when I was figuring out how to map the textures onto these skirts.

The Veil Nebula. I remember this was a lot of work to get lined up properly! Effect was worth it, though. Another Priim Magic gown that I retextured.

So that's the Astronomy Outfits--so far! I have some other pictures that I may experiment with soon.

Remember, folks: some men take their ladies clothes shopping, but Real Men try them on for her while she is at work. ;)
