If you mean a drawing tablet, I also vouch for Krita. It’s free and open source, so you can use it right away however you’d like. It has all the general tools you’d expect for drawing with a tablet and plenty of resources and documentation too!

If you mean something like an android tablet, I do see a build of Krita on F-Droid (a FOSS only app store), but I haven’t ever tried it. Barring that or iPad maybe ibisPaint? It’s proprietary but free to access basic tools, and could get you started exploring and creating.

Looks good on pawb.social desktop! Maybe just a bug for your end?

I’m honestly not sure what answers you’re expecting, given that feral is a pretty general, fuzzy descriptor for a myriad of characters of all sorts. The most general answer I could amass would be the depiction of adult, sapient characters which have body types you don’t approve of (I’ve read your side bar), in media which people grow fond of like literally any other anthropomorphized being in history. Human beings can be attracted to anything, and this shouldn’t be surprising considering you are literally in a community which is based around interest in fantasy creatures that are varying degrees of animal.

What is the appeal of being attracted to animal parts, assuming you are attracted to anthropomorphic animals of any type? If that sounds loaded, it’s because I’ve mirrored your own question, but more broadly.

• No it’s a turn of phrase
• “So I have to tilt my head when I say it?”
• No, no, it’s just an idiom.
• “Don’t call me that, I’m trying my best!”

The phrase “truth is stranger than fiction” is really going into overdrive for the roaring '20s. If only we got the boring '20s instead…

Sometimes life can be most disappointing…

What does that phrase even mean? Asking something else to make something for you is not artistic, so it can’t be that. People who commission other humans to make things aren’t suddenly artists. If they literally just mean consumption of images, it’s not as if web searching for images has been difficult for the last couple decades at this point. If you don’t care about art at all and just want content, there are lifetimes of things you could look for readily available to indulge. Just start typing and away you go! Literally the only thing that has changed is that now you are accelerating dead internet theory and removing human interaction from what you consume. Of course, if you don’t care about art that is a moot point, since human self-expression and communication never meant anything to you in the first place.

At best, the phrase should be specialized, on demand consumption of niche content is more accessible, not art.

I understand what you mean, so many people love to harp on about skill, quality, and commercial viability when they talk about ‘art’ for some reason. Fuck that noise, art is just a genuine desire to express yourself. All I want in this world is for others to feel willing to express themselves, and share it with others—genuine human to human dialogue. No matter what you create, as long as you wanted to make it and express yourself, you are an artist. More than that, a human with experiences who wants to communicate with others, and that is wonderful no matter what.

Please keep creating! From one artist to another, making what you want to is always worth it. Putting yourself out there takes courage, self expression is vulnerable, and people will be hurtful sometimes. Try to remember you are valid, and deserve the ability to express yourself like anyone else. You are an artist! I’m not saying platitudes either, I still remember your comfy sweater post from a couple weeks ago I commented on. Anyway, thank you for creating, and please keep expressing yourself.

Those are just relatable things to a lot of people, and hardly exclusive to the ‘furry’ demographic. Memes are generally not the place to find profound or original ideas. The very fact that the memes are even drawn at all—instead of stacking jpgs on top of one another—is already putting your hypothetical furry memes as well above average amounts of effort.

As for you being the only one? No, I have seen lots of people be upset about memes being very sex focused in the past on Reddit. There have been meta memes about “the joke is sex,” but sex interest isn’t ever going to go away. If you want a certain meme to exist, you should be the change you want to see. I don’t make a crap ton of posts, but I do make every single one of them myself. Maybe you won’t like them if you scroll through, but ultimately I expressed myself and shared it. That’s what art is all about anyway, self expression.

Oops sorry, that was my bad! Thanks for the heads up, and too bad about the run. What a buzzkill that must’ve been.

The answer for this setup is basically luck, but also some unlocks and strategy of course. The pillars holding this up are:

• Pekero, a Legendary Joker which can only be acquired at random after finding a 0.3% chance The Soul card while opening a Spectral or Tarot pack in the shop. There are several, but this one is required for the effect to make a negative copy of a consumable item you hold after exiting the shop.
• Ghost deck, required to obtain spectral cards in the shop. It is otherwise incredibly difficult to obtain spectrals as a consumable, and you need to have Pekero make negative copies of Cryptid specifically.
• Cryptid, a spectral card which creates two duplicates of a selected card in your hand. When in a blind, this means you are temporarily increasing the cards held in hand by two as well.
• Brainstorm, a rare joker only unlocked after discarding a Royal Flush. Brainstorm copies the ability of the leftmost joker slot, meaning if you have Pekero there before exiting the shop, you can create multiple negative copies of a consumable such as Cryptid. Blueprint is similar, but for the joker to the right of it instead.
• Baron, a rare joker which makes Kings give 1.5x xMult while held in hand. In this case, the ideal setup is a red seal steel king, so the xMult effect triggers several times, alongside Baron being duplicated by Brainstorm.
• Joker duplication, as you normally only get access to one at any given time. This can be achieved through the destructive spectral cards at an opportunistic time (like Ankh when you only have one joker), or getting lucky with Invisible joker, a rare joker unlocked by winning a run with only ever having four jokers at one time. After two completed blinds you can sell it for a random duplicate. You can also hold onto Showman, an uncommon joker which allows duplicates to show up in the shop. Ideally you’d duplicate both blueprint and Brainstorm, but I assume this run didn’t get the chance. You’d also normally have Mime, to further retrigger held in hand effects.

After all that, you’d just keep beating blinds, accumulating Cryptids, and whenever you’re ready, duplicate an unholy amount of red seal steel kings and have like 100 kings in a ridiculous hand. Play high card, and let the fun start!

If the squirrel takes cookies from a plate I just so happened to bring along, I’d say the squirrel fed themselves. I am obeying the rules!

Favorite deck is definitely Anaglyph, no question. The feeling of hitting several negative tags is just far too fun for me, but obviously it gives you much more flexibility for skipping to really turn around something you’re behind on (like economy as you mentioned). I also like Ghost deck a lot given the free polychrome, and the unique ability to get spectral cards in the shop.

I think people hating on Black deck is pretty much the norm, so I’ll say another one that bothers me is Nebula deck. It’s not even that it’s particularly super hard as much as it is that I can’t stand only having one consumable until maybe Crystal Ball shows up as a voucher. I want to collect tarots to utilize in the shop before opening a tarot pack, so I have to hold one fewer card. I want to gamble on High Priestess and Emperor sometimes (or maybe just pump numbers up for Constellation or Fortune Teller), but they are way less useful. Sometimes I’ll just take one absent-mindedly and then realize, that’s right, I’m on dumb Nebula deck and only get one card roll. Sometimes I want to hold onto a copy of the fool and utilize a blue seal, or maybe two blue seals, and I can’t do that either. Ante 1 telescope voucher is not worth this price.

As for Erratic deck, I was expecting a lot more than what it actually is because I guess I didn’t consider probability properly. Most of the time when I check the deck for any given seed I get a somewhat even suit spread with all cards somewhere between like 2-6 in quantity. I already reset for an actually useful small blind skip tag, no way I’m also tacking on significantly more for a much more rare interesting Erratic deck.

If you don’t laugh, you cry.

What do they say about the furry femboy, Jimbo?

Don’t forget Mastodon! We’re already here on Lemmy after all, may as well mention the properly federated alternative too.

Also want to piggy back because if this is a sona, do you (OP) have a clear idea of what you are or look like? The more time you spend figuring these things out, writing detailed stuff down, making crude sketches or perhaps editing bases, the more likely whoever it is that you speak with will be able to bring your idea and identity to life. Whatever mediums work best to help you visualize your sona, will also help the person drawing it. In this way, both of you have less headache making changes, or being dissatisfied with results.

If the Tony the Tiger fiasco says anything about how this goes, just tell the brand you’re horny for their mascot. They’ll block you of their own accord.

I am a simple man. If I see negative tag, I skip the blind.

With great puter comes great responsibility.
