Heyo! 29 year old kinky, chubby trans woman who's diving head-first into the furry world and using this to gather all my commissions together, find artists and connect with people! Notes open and enjoy your stay!

Scraps Usage, numbers thoughts
2 years ago
'sup.
I'm going to be making use of the scraps feature in the future. There's some things I want to share without them being in my gallery. The first type of these are roughs / wips / preliminary things if I'm brainstorming with someone. These will be few and far between, but for example I'm working on a new OC who can be summarised as a Grimdark Edgelady and the artist friend I'm commissioning her from did some really nice brainstorm sketches. They'll be going up promptly, with the gallery being reserved for the actual ref sheet when it's done.
The second type of content that's headed for scraps is, bluntly, the old catgirl sona. On a whim I was doing some e6 searching and found some art of her I'd forgotten existed. It was hot, I liked it. I considered uploading it here but shied away from it. After some further consideration I will, but only as scraps. Further, all the prior uploads in the 'Lisa (Old catgirl)' folder will be transferred into scraps. I don't want them gone but I don't really feel great about how they've become a recurring big traffic driver that garner a lot of faves without watches, or people who are seemingly following just in the hopes of more of her because it's, outside of one planned piece, just not gonna happen.
The reasoning for this isn't that I have Analytics Brain and want to maximise my reach (okay though, yes, I like attention. Sue me.), because if anything this puts a dampener on that. Lilyaena's staying in gallery, as are other thinner OCs. It's just that the old catgirl isn't a character, she's a version of me that existed in the past and largely doesn't exist any more. She's from a time when I was more willing to carve off important pieces of myself to be more palatable to others, and it's Just Not Me any more. I'm not a thin, conventionally attractive catgirl who you can safely assume is cis. I'm a big ol' gal and I'm trying to love myself more.
In other words, when I saw people come in and like her while the tummy trans tigress doesn't get same love would kinda just play hell with my insecurities around being unlovable and disposable. Yes, that's a me thing. Those are my insecurities at play. Nobody else's responsibility, but I maintain this is one of my little corners of the internet and that I'm well within my right to structure it in a way that doesn't make me feel awful about myself. If someone comes for the bodies and then balks at the diapers, sure, fine, whatever. That's a part of me I'm not losing one way or the other, I understand that it's super niche, and if someone's not down with my freakishness I wouldn't want them around anyway. But seeing a body like one that I can kind of achieve and one that has features like mine in art is important to me, it's more closely linked to my reality, and I'm just kind of tired of leaving up avenues to let other people make me feel bad about myself. So by staying in the scraps, they're chiefly available to people who are already staying around rather than driving so many new eyes that might get the wrong impression.
It should go without saying that those of you who stick around despite the wide gamut of stuff I post (soon to get wider) are greatly appreciated. Now snuggle into some tiger-tum <3
