Nell Thompson

...heh, I dunno wether it's reassuring that that post earlier had no responses or not. >.> Going to assume it is and not worry, haha.

...you know...if I were to say "screw it" and brought back my kidfur characters or kidfur versions of the characters I have who aren't but felt self-validatory exploring their backstories of through that...would folks mind?

Is the horrible pushback over now everyone's on edge about policymakers?

Unfollowing and blocking anyone who posts or spreads callouts about artists drawing "problematic" art. In the fucking year of 2026 as we're ALL getting shafted is NOT the year I want to see people targeted and harassed for things they draw. Fucking mental.

I know calling reps is very nerve racking. You're not sure what's the right thing to say, and tbh having a script thrown at me makes things just as nerve racking.

I called today, and I figured I'd write up a transcript of how my call went down. Hopefully it helps demystify the process

Did you not know they did a VR remake already? o.o I need to play more of it but I found the tech behind redoing the FMV stuff kinda amazing.

Is this a non-VR remake you're talking about then or...?

Man, I only just learn't the context on why you're bringing it up...that's...dang, haha. xD

Talk to VRChat and tell them to stop using Persona as their age-verification partner of choice.

You are going to be putting your attendees in danger.

I guess so long as we're not getting weird over people who are acknowledging it differently without hurting others, it's all good?

We kinda can't really fussy over stuff we do harmlessly in order to facilitate others' standards of normalcy, especially lately.

World Obesity Day - Wed, March 4th 2026

Day of celebration. :3

Oh no, not just one cute but TWO, whatever to do? :3

It could be! I bet it would, just gotta figure out which of my critters'd work best for this. x3

Reference sheet for Nell Thompson, an immobile-fat anthropomorphic fennec fox woman.

Reference sheet for Alek Brettington, a very fat (yet mobile, albeit belly-heavy) raccoon person in their 30's.

Reference sheet for Tyzo Keykai, a nearly-immobile fat red panda woman with a playfully defiant demeanour.

Nell: Main namesake fursona! May use a slight voice filter but work on PNGtuber's already started.

Alek: Closest 'sona to RL me! Less work to differentiate my voice from their's.

Tyzo: Maybe the most gamer-compatible out of them, potentially. Possible voice filter for her too.

Who'd work best?

I'm undecided on which of my 3 'sonas to present these things through, though I did already begin work a while ago on a PNGtuber for Nell and that that's the name other furry streamers know me as.

But there's potential for it working with Alek or Tyzo for their own reasons too.

Also, hey...who'd be interested in me trying out Twitchstreams soon? Not for the immediate future yet but I'm thinking about it now.

Realising it'd be easier doing it through my identities here 'cause 1) I know more people here than elsewhere and 2) PNGtubers will be easier to come up with.

You may be realising I'm posting a little more often lately, even if a while ago I said I was gonna "soft-retire" from it...well, one positive of stuff going down like it has is that I feel less need to prioritise energy away from here for now so...oops, haha.

OK, hi. Other than a bunch of aches from unrelated RL stuff, I'm okay.

Sorry if I worried anybody. o.o I may still have Tyzo be an alt- sona anyway but that seems like a good idea no matter my mental state anyhoo. x3

But yeah, gonna take stuff a day at a time.

You really do make these like nobody else does~

...yeah, Tyzo speaks to me right now...

Dunno if this is good or not-as-good-as-usual but current moods've really made me wanna have Tyzo be another 'sona to manage this stuff...thoughts? -////- (Second pic by@pastelgeneticist.bsky.social )

Sounds like they navigated the return of certain elements in a way that didn't retread wholly back just for the sake of it. Glad this seems to be going down well for people, certainly looked solid in that same way modern RE games do. :3

Bless your sister for that, honestly. <:3

There's something to deciding to just...ease into being a """failure""" and no longer caring about self-control with how my physical self is, even embracing and being excited on every concequence right now. No idea, haha.

I don't mind if folks respond to this either concerned or teasingly encouraging, I don't even know 100% which way of "is this right" this can land on myself. -////////-

I would not do anything more immediately drastic or immediately self-harmful, though, so there's that.

In the "no actually, I think I just want to be a gigantically irreversably huge mutation of myself and comfort eat to oblivion" state of coping with recent stuff and it's tickling my brain something fierce, even if it comes from a less wholesome place than usual gains...

*hugs back* Awwww, bless you, heh~

So...my main creative aspirational dreams outside of this corner of the net have died and I'm going to have to figure out what else to do on that stuff.

How're you guys? Hope you're as good as you can be or maybe even better than me, pfft. *slumps*

In a small way the former, but way more predominantly the latter. x3

OH...my *god*... x3

I feel like if they had more varied personalities, it'd feel more immersive and interesting. And feel more earn't when you manage to befriend others or have them be more understanding.

I get its a """cozy""" game but maybe the industry is learning the wrong lessons if the engagement is so skin-deep
