Everyone in the group chat loves and supports Bella x Max. How can you draw something so human and tender and sweet by Accident.
SO TRUEEE
That’s our ocs now
Reminiscing on this and I remembered someone drew a good faith version of this and it is SO SWEET
The sign in the background that indicates that Kiki just moved in with Bella genuinely makes me want to cry. This is what being a furry is all about

fun fact, in the uk we didn't use the word plushie when I was growing up (generally it was 'cuddly toy' or 'soft toy', or teddies.) and so neopets made me think it was a word unique to the site.
I remember when I was in high school, for my sophomore year mandatory grade level project, I chose puppetry as my topic of interest. I remember the absolute joy and thrill I felt when I first attended one of the local puppetry guild meetings, and got to meet and speak with dozens of people who worked under the Jim Henson company, sometimes with Henson directly. I remember the uncontrollable excitement and giddiness of getting to talk to the people who worked on Fraggle Rock, the people whose hands were behind the puppets and whose labor of love created that work that influenced me so deeply since my early childhood. I remember the honor of having Lee Armstrong as my mentor figure for that period of time. And I remember the look of shock on her face when I told her that I was 15 years old. She admitted to me that she had thought I was much younger (she likely thought I was an 11-12 prepubescent cisgender boy, because even though I was pre-T at the time, I was still passing as a "boy" consistently, albeit always one younger than my actual age.)
anyway. I remember the excitement of getting to enroll in a course taught by Lee Armstrong herself which taught the building, controlling, storytelling, and filming of puppets and puppetry. And I loved being in that class. But I also remember how much pain I was in during and after that class each day. And how frequently I had to take breaks or lie flat on the floor sometimes in the middle of class (which is something I still do now post-college as a language school student. When the pain is so bad sometimes all I can do is lie flat on the floor.) I had just recently been diagnosed with scoliosis at age 15, and had already known since a young age about my POTS and hEDS, and puppeteering is an incredibly physically intensive activity for those unaware. (You have to contort your body into unnatural positions to keep your head out of the camera shot, hold your arms above your head for extended periods of time, and if you have joint pain or hypermobility like me, then you'll have joint subluxations and fingers locking up, etc.) and I remember one day in puppetry class I was trying to explain my conditions to my classmates, about how I needed extra breaks and how I was often in pain, and I remember that particular day I was in a lot more pain than usual, and feeling particularly hopeless and frustrated about the fact that my pain held me back from doing the things I loved (art, puppetry) but what I remember the most clearly from that day was the response from one of my classmates. I presume she was a woman in her mid forties or early fifties, and her words hurt me more than the pain itself I was already enduring. She hit me with the classic line "You're too young for all that. Just wait until you're my age." And of course now things like that barely phase me at all because I've heard them so much, but I wonder if that was the first time someone had said that to me.
And I remember a completely different instance while I was still actively participating in the puppetry guild events, when we were set to make an appearance at a parade in which we'd be marching as a group down a road with various puppets, but the main, first and largest puppet of our section of the parade was this huge, near life-sized puppet of a horse's head and neck. I remember it was mounted on something like a chair or maybe some kind of wooden platform with wheels, and it required multiple people to push it from behind. And I remember one of the male puppetry guild members looking at me and saying "Max! This is perfect. You're a strong young man, why don't you help us push it from the back?" And I remember I felt my heart sink. At the time I couldn't fully explain and didn't fully understand why it hurt so much. But now I do. It was because I was consistently being perceived as an able-bodied cisgender male by those around me, and this man on that day had then also enforced the equation of masculinity with physical ability. And I was neither able-bodied nor a cisgender male, but I was terrified of letting anybody else know that, for fear of their reaction. For fear of what judgemental or dismissive words they might say to me. And that day at the parade, I wasn't even sure if I could walk the whole length of the street without passing out from POTS, and I knew for sure if they had me in charge of pushing that heavy platform, there was no way I'd be able to make it more than halfway through the street, and it would result in subluxations and burning aching pain for the next few days. But they didn't know that. Because this was the time when my physical disabilities and pain were largely invisible to others, due to my lack of mobility aids. I remember always feeling as though others would never believe me and my pain or my limitations because I was "too young" or "looked healthy" but I think somehow, I was able to explain myself to some degree that day, and somehow, that man was able to understand me to some degree. Because he immediately switched the plan and granted me the privilege of being the one to sit on the chair and puppeteer the horse's head, while the other puppeteers pushed me from the back.
I was ecstatic! Not only the relief that I knew I'd be able to make it to the end of the parade because I'd be sitting, but also that they'd trusted me to puppeteer the horse! The front centerpiece of our group in the parade! And so I remember sitting there and pulling the wires to manipulate the puppet, doing my best to emulate a variety of different movements a horse might make, and of course trying to interact actively with the audience and kids along the sides of the road, who all seemed to love the horse, as nobody was looking at me and they were all looking at it as it moved. And that felt so so good to me. I remember I was smiling and even more happy to know that the kids weren't even looking at my face because they were too busy being enraptured by the horse. To have achieved one of the aims of puppetry, of creating the illusion of life and entertaining and holding the attention of the audience and children, I felt so happy. And of course by the end of the parade I was in severe pain from puppeteering the horse, all throughout my fingers and arms and honestly probably my whole body, but I didn't care. Because it was so much fun and I was so happy. And I also feel that somehow, retrospectively, me being pushed by the others from behind as I puppeteered the horse's head, was somehow a symbolic prophecy of my future adoption of the image of the Zebra and my usage of a wheelchair. ♿🦓
I went digging and found photos of all of the puppets that I made + baby Maxwell with The Horse puppet (I did not make that one), and then a fursona draw-over of my first time using a real wheelchair in 2023 (featuring zebras in the background) + a picture of me from January 2026 at the pokemon center with the giant maxlion plush that my friend made for me (you can't see all of the details from this picture but the plush even has his hind legs hand sewn with zebra stripes and hooves) ❤️🦁🦓🌈🐾 peace and love ☮️🫂
Thank you for sharing your story (and the awesome photos). As a puppet lover and aspiring puppet maker/puppeteer I've been afraid that my scoliosis (or imminent arthritis) would bar me from puppeteering. Seeing someone else do it, and do it well, is inspiring and just great to see. Honestly I was raised with the "you have scoliosis (among other things), so you need to do baby exercises, nothing more, or you'll shatter into pieces!!" So seeing what people can really do, even with some exertion, is genuinely amazing and inspiring. <3
Thank you so much for reading & for sharing your own comments in solidarity ❤️ and I promise you that you can still have a future of engaging with your passions!!! Puppetry is still possible even when you're disabled!! You just may need more frequent breaks, a specialized seating/posture arrangement, or other kinds of accommodations to suit your needs best. I hope you get to continue pursuing puppetry!!!! Puppets are awesome ^w^

Millennials who think they’re entirely detached from JKRs bigotry because they’e marauders fanfic writers or whatever the fuck are the most annoying people on the planet not only that but you guys talk about fanfiction of a bad children’s series like you’re the joker.
"bad childrens series" and it's one of the most popular and beloved pieces of media on the planet.
yeah ok and there are millions of people on the planet who thought the office was good
The series was only popular because Scholastics could smell money and marketing seeping from her shitty ‘The Slaves Like Being Slaves’ books that happened to fill a niche
That and AOLTimeWarner owned everything so they could shove HP advertisements down our collective throats as much as they want

seriously considering raffling off hodgepoge. would anybody be interested?
she'd be sold as is
#p sure this is a lovecraftian horror
^ these replies used to really bother me but i've decide it's perfect because lovecraft was a crusty old racist who was frightened of fish, mixed race marriage, and having to actually question his biases
so when you're like "ahh the unknowable thing!!! " and it's like. a fabric sculpture. like that says more about your limited framework than mine bud i feel sorry for the day you learn about crawfish. or like where milk comes from. etc
anyway she's sold! to a friend so i still get to have pictures :) yay me
^ this coward replied then blocked me for pointing out they were being a jackass btw

Jester Possum Furby
This was my most recent commission and absolutely my fav commission that I've done so far. My joy at opening my furby Instagram dm and to see someone asking for a jester possum furby. They have wire in their tail so they can hang upside down! I was very sad to have to sell this furby and I will definitely be making possum furby for myself in the future. ALSO Strange Aeon's said they were really cool and well done so I can die happy now that Strange Aeon's has seen one of my customs. As she is how i found out about the furby community.
meet enamel a result of being awake for way too long and a very sudden interest in long furbies
A moderate but healthy amount of evilness
Tips for figure collectors:
Don't be a completionist. It will drain the fun out of your hobby. You will be forced to look at expensive figures that you don't even like, just because they happen to be part of a set
Buy figures because you actually like them. Buy them because you like looking at them, because they're fun to display, and because they bring you joy
When you get the urge to buy, don't immediately give in. Try spending some time maintaining the figures you already have. Fix their hair, if the have any, dust them off, and rearrange them
Don't buy the figure you want first chance you get. They always get relisted eventually. Take note of the prices and wait until there's a decent offer up. If you just buy it first chance you get, you may scam yourself out of a lot of money
Supply and demand affect prices, but "rarity" is a useless term used to price gouge
Never use figures as an investment. Figure markets are volatile as hell, and you're likely to just lose money on it
Rinse your figures if you get them used. Just give them a quick scrub in soapy water. You have no idea where they've been
Please please please dust off your figures every once in a while, even if you keep them in a cabinet. It's better to dust them off regularly than allow the dust to cement itself onto their surface
A NIB figure is not a maintenance-free figure. Please inspect the box regularly, check that the figure isn't suffering from plasticizer leakage, water damage, bugs, dried-up rubber bands, or any other pests. If possible, remove the figure from its packaging and inspect it every once in a while.
Make the hobby your own. If you want to customize a rare figure or remove a it from its box, do it. Even if other collectors tell you not to do it. Especially if other collectors tell you not to do it. This is YOUR hobby and YOUR collection!
