hand to god when i realized why sketches always look "better" then finished lineart my life changed irreparably

its bc of the ambiguity btw. when you have a sketch made of many different lines forming a single new line, your brain starts filling in the gaps with the information it wants to see there depending on what you personally think would look best. removing the ambiguity by deciding on a solid, single line disrupts that. every line is a decision and nobody likes every decision ever made. the artist is no exception. there's nothing wrong with your lineart, you just removed the uncertainty from it

The Legend of BigDong

We’ve all heard the story of “Bigfoot”; the ape-like creature cyptozoologists say exist in the North American woods. Many sightings seem to confirm the existence of such creatures. However, there’s also another lesser-known ape-man of the woods; his name is BigDong. Late at night, you can hear his loud ape-man yelling and whooping coming from the forest as he pleasures himself. Legend says that if you leave him treats such as a fresh bottle of poppers, or some weed on a tree stump in your backyard and happen to live close to his wooded habitat, he will come at night and GOON right outside of your window or back patio. Nobody knows who he is or where he comes from, or where he goes in colder months, but those who have seen him say he’s beautifully built with bronze skin and has a wild mane of hair - and of course a huge uncircumcised dong that is the source for his name. Many have tried to capture him on film, but the footage is always dark and grainy. Perhaps it’s best to lure him close with GOON treats and just enjoy the fleeting glimpses and animal-like noises without disturbing this peaceful, natural and beautiful GOON-creature of the forest. GOON on BigDong.

literally always saying this

furries with complex identities are the coolest people to be around. like i see you autistic, plural, queer, objectum, therian with a slime/pooltoy fursona. you are realer than all of us babygirl.

i have seen more posts abt this pop up sometimes but i think ppl really need to be taught more about OCD and its triggers because there is a lot of normalized behavior online that hurt OCD people and trigger them into episodes and dangerous behavior. things like PTSD triggers have become more widely discussed, and i think many find it easier to understand because they can grasp that its rooted in trauma, and the resulting trigger from the trauma 'makes more sense' most of the time.

OCD is complicated, and one of its biggest issues is that it is often rooted in things that 'dont make sense'. its what often results in people not taking OCD seriously, because some thing the person is freaking out about or focused on or spiraling about is strange, irrational, delusional, etc to them. this, plus the long time misinformation regarding OCD and seeing it has a neat freak/organization/pickiness disorder, makes people take it less seriously because their impression is that its some person simply getting upset about minor changes that others wouldnt normally be bothered by. so when its a bigger, more obvious, upsetting reaction suddenly its even more irrational to have been triggered because people cannot understand the weight and effect of what they think is so simple.

people absolutely need to unlearn this perspective on OCD, and take it seriously so that they can properly analyze their behavior to understand how it might be harmful. honestly the strict and controlling attitudes in online communities more often than not feed harmful thinking for OCD people, and only continue to do so when going unchecked
