Not beating the "I'm an actual cat" alligations, but one of the worst things about being sick is have a huge damper on my sense of smell. I generally tell if food is ready based on how it smells. Now I gotta set timers and stuff wehhhh

Been seeing that "fill in states you've been" map going around again. I hit my final state (Alaska) in 2011. I've never been to territories (well, the Guam airport but airports don't count). So my next travel goals are Guam, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, American Samoa and Northern Mariana Islands
Happy Fursuit Friday! #fursuitfriday There was a really cool graffiti mural across the street from our hotel at Furlandia 📸: @jakkielope.creechur.me

Back in 2022 when DALL-e Mini was a trend, someone typed in the prompt "Golden Girls in the Backrooms," and one of the images was a Blanche in a purple robe facing away from the camera in the Backrooms, so I drew and animated this. I don't think anyone understood it but it still makes me laugh x'3
I host monthly craft nights, and yesterday I had a make-up night where people who missed a craft night could come and do ones they missed. The perler bead ones are by @petstains.bsky.social and @rinzlertm.bsky.social; I don't think the others that were there are on Bluesky
*kesha voice* Wake up in the mornin' feeling *sustained sobbing*
Dang my vestibular migraines causing me to fall over would have been see as *so hot* if I was in 18th century Europe. I mean, the rest of me wouldn't have been seen that way, but yeah

I've had the same hairstyle (bangs with sides and back shaved and the hair on top of my head pulled into a high up paintbrush ponytail) for the last 3 and a half years and I figured it was time to start from scratch
So I generally put the three main colors of pride flags in characters' eyes when I draw them and I just wanted to point out that in the drawing I did back in 2023 I put pink, white, and light blue (trans flag colors) in Jax's eyes just sayin' 💅🏳️⚧️ #tadc #digitalcircus
愛竜 (Ai-Ryu) or LD@airyu.cat · 3y agoI couldn't pick between jagatha and buttonblossom (ragapom), so you know what? Ragatha is poly, and Jax and Pomni and begrudging metamours, and I'm not fixated on The Amazing Digital Circus, you are. #tadc
Well, that's a wrap for pride month! I took a chance with marching with the furry contingent in the SF Pride Parade instead of being on the float and it went well! I was on the news cam side for once and also didnt get Mike Wazowski'd this year yay First 2 📸: @relaxingdragon.bsky.social
Thank you @relaxingdragon.bsky.social for this amazing animation by @cosmicleaf.bsky.social! Happy Pride! 🩷💛💙
Happy Fursuit Friday holy heck have I been on some adventures this week 📸 @lykaioshusky.bsky.social and @raido.moe #fursuitfriday
The helmet wig was 20+ pounds and slid around. I cut the braids off. My idea is to wear a regular wig, no helmet, strap the giant braid as a seperate piece to my back (so no weight is on my head), clip it to the top of my wig so it looks connected. I will use a headband for the thinner side braids
愛竜 (Ai-Ryu) or LD@airyu.cat · 2mo agoNowww do you get what I'm making? This has been the most challenging wig I've ever styled before. It's fallen apart and needed to be reinforced a few times. I'm almost done, but I need to make some kind of back brace for it, it is so heavy ;-; #poppyplaytime
New hair dye for pride month! I tried something new. The bangs are the pansexual flag. When my hair's down, the sides are the trans flag. When it's up, pan colors go up to my ponytail on top of my head, and the undercut, now visible, is also the pan flag. And I dyed my eyebrows! Pink and blue 🏳️🌈🩷💛💙🏳️⚧️
Happy Fursuit Friday! Sometimes I'm a cryptid, and can be hard to spot in the wild...... 📸 @petstains.bsky.social #fursuitfriday
A weekish ago, @petstains.bsky.social and I had a fantastic roadtrip! We went to Forks for a Hoa Hoa day xD Twilight Museum was amazing! La Push beaches were gorgeous! We saw the only North American rainforest! I hiked while fursuiting! Went to Port Angeles! Thank you for adventuring with me Baby :P
I've had so many TADC fanart ideas since seeing the finale Thursday, but I am gonna hold off until it releases on YouTube on the 19th. The next two weeks are gonna be hard to hold back @_@
Happy Fursuit Friday! Last weekend I went to La Push and it was gorgeous. Plus, I'm getting over my fear of suiting in front of normies! #fursuitfriday 📸 @petstains.bsky.social

愛竜 (Ai-Ryu) or LD@airyu.cat · 4mo agoTfw a cosplay is literally made out of blood, sweat, and tears lollll flying in blind once again Anyways, any guesses as to what I'm making?
A month ago, on a whim, @rinzlertm.bsky.social and I visited Mt. Rainier, and omg it was sooo beautiful. You can see it looming everywhere from the Seattle area and suburbs, so to see it up close was stunning. I was surprised it was still snowing!
