Hanging Bat

I’m a tad late for Halloween but that’s okay ‘cus I only got this idea on the 28th of October

I’d have liked to get this out sooner but as it was a personal project I was prioritising commissions/having to scream at new sites ‘cus Twitter might suddenly fuck itself completely at any moment

So here’s Ferris, hanging off an unusually sturdy tree-branch in the night, and you’ve managed to spot them with a torch, lucky you!

Maybe >:3c

Agender Pride Flag

Gender, or a lack of it

So the 11th of October was apparently “Coming out day” and a few friends went “hey, they” basically and I remembered to update my profile on Twitter so it’s a good day to. But I did technically come out about my gender at the start of pride month.

Agender Pride Flag
it’s this (agender)

But the thing about that is well. Thoughts change but also a lot of self doubt, especially as I started feeling that I was faking it etc.

I’m pretty masculine, I won’t lie. Quite “man” like and I never really thought to, do anything about it, but I never felt attached to itΒ  as “my identity”. I never “felt” transgender and neither did “woman” or “non-binary” ring out to me. Eventually I got talking to someone who basically phrased it as “male by default” and I was like “holy shit yes?”

So with some reinforcement behind me I kind of stumbled randomly on to agender, it felt right, it makes my brain happy.

“But… what if I was faking it for brain chemicals???” I kept thinking, especially as when I came out in June I effectively went “βˆ… he/they” is good :)”, the easiest “out” for all of this, even though I really never felt like that was correct but it’s easy for a masculine person and go like that. Constantly doubting that the genuine euphoria I felt back in February when I stumbled my way in to understanding.

So in safe places I did add in “it” to “βˆ… he/they”, eventually “βˆ… he/they/it” I swapped it round “βˆ… it/they/he”, and privately or in new places I put what made me happy…

Seeing my friends explore their identity over the past few months, and especially today made me realise “no wait I can do this”. I’ve been pushing off “he” for a while, so much so that I dropped it entirely in places I was “safe”. So I finally did it, I told everyone “it/they” on twitter and holy hell that felt good. I’d change it entirely but on Twitter I figure for the best I might have to leave “they” but almost everywhere else? No.

I’m DarkOverord, I’m an agender furry and my pronouns are it/its. They is acceptable, he is okay, but I’m an it, and that makes me happy.

Also know that I’m still getting used to that and if you call me “it” I will just melt in to a puddle for you.

I rambled here but I needed to make it in to words lol

A character reference sheet for Rigel, a blue eastern dragon pooltoy

Rigel v2.0 Reference

πŸ”ž NSFW ref under the cut πŸ”ž

This has been a project on the back-burner since 2021 and I figured between Nik’s commission and the next I’d take the short palette cleanser to make the new reference

Deliberate use of “v2.0” here, he’s artificial so I wanted to give the implication that he’s just made himself a new body πŸ˜›

To be fair with Rigel he’s probably somehow still operating his old body too.

Main changes since the original adoptable ref:

  • Rigel had decided he needed to be almost three feet taller, though being an inflatable that size isn’t exactly fixed in the first place
  • Whiskers: Longer
  • Mane: Bigger
  • Tail: More
  • Handles: Now on legs too
  • Webbies: Feet have them as well as his hands now

So while a heatwave was going on (haha first 40C day in the UK while we have no way to deal with that…) I was working on a Bowser Day pic

Combine: Koopa + Hedgehog. Specifically I more went off Giga Bowser’s form (long tail, chonky legs)

And then I made it silly

Pride (2022 ver)

Pride (2022 ver)

I’d not done anything for pride in a few years, partly ‘cus I generally felt I was too behind on stuff and then June snuck up on me but this year I decided “Oh hey I best do it this year”.

Technically this was hinted in Subtle, it was indeed deliberately subtle. But before I get on to that, I still really love the idea of sticking stickers that wash off over time without damaging the magically animate and unpoppable inflatable toy etc. etc.

Hence the pride stickers. ANYWAY what was Subtle about?

Late Jan/early Feb I’d been ruminated on the hit topic we all know and love. Gender. Or, ironically, a lack of one. It’s something I’ve been thinking on for a while ‘cus boy howdy it sure is a strange coincidence that I keep making self-characters that are masc but also not really attached to being specifically male. Even the Obstagoon is SUPER masc but I don’t really consider them male.

Technically the correct term here probably would be “demiboy/guy/man” (as in, someone who feels male sometimes and other times not). But you know what gave me gender euphoria and what didn’t? Agender and demiboy respectively. So I followed the good chemicals and wow internal validation????????

“What does this mean for peeps though? New pronouns?” NOPE πŸ˜€

A lot of this is internal validation, they/he still works for me and I have no specific preference on which one. Boy howdy that’s convenient!

But you know, it’s good to finally bite and be open about it in a less subtle way :B
