that feeling when you find out one of your favorite bands is playing in town tomorrow, but you can't go (I found out too late and have plans with family)

maybe next time Blind Guardian ;u;

Just finished reading the first issue of the M.U.T.T.S. by @peripendrake.art and Cedar Warwyck! (I'm sorry, idk their bsky ;-;)

It was so beautifully written and illustrated! I definitely had a major "WHAT???" moment when I ran out of pages though!
I'm excited to see what happens next!
a copy if the comic book the M.U.T.T.S. with the neat goodies that came along with it! this was a really fun read and a beautifully published comic! I hope the story keeps going!

I just turned out the lights and got jumpscared by a sticker!

in other news, my super cool aunt took a few of those same stickers out on her adventures to spread the (slightly macabre) motto!
it's so heckin' neat to see it out in the wild! like, "wait, I drew that!"
Glow in the dark sticker of a coyote skull with the words "RISE OR ROT" above its head and ivy vines coming out of its mouth. the phrase comes from a personal motto that I use when I'm struggling mentally: "Rise to the day, or rot where you lay- you decide" it works as sort of a call to action (powered by fomo)- your time if finite, what will you do with it? do you choose to rise and take action? or accept the world as it is and rot in indifference? rotting is the easy part, so why not rise instead? rise or rot coyote skull sticker on a crosswalk pole surrounded by other stickers. there are trees and a skyscraper in the background. not saying where, but IYKYK

*ugly crying*
my son!
I love your stupid-ass markings ;u;
og Gloom suit had to be retired (for a number of reasons) so I'm breaking out the DTD! this is such a long time coming, and it feels so surreal to finally start working on his V2 body! I fully expect to cry as he starts to come together! this stupid asshole means so much to me! he represents me finding myself, coming to terms with my depression, a cardiac diagnosis, finding the fandom, and generally running out of spoons for bullshit. it may seem dramatic when I call him my son, but I've been doting on this dumb bastard in one form or another for 2 decades, and this update means more than you can imagine ;u; DTD hanging from the rafters. it has vaguely skeletal patents on it

I will be *very limited* in what projects I'm talking on this time around, but I'm hoping this'll give me a better idea of what everyone's looking for.

don't be a stinky critter!
soap for you + spray for your suit all in one place! PLUS free sniffs!!! (yes I do wander by just to smell the soap!)

they also have fursuit shampoo to get the mud out of your paws from walking through the grass 👀

Psst

Did you just march in the fursuit parade at Furpoc?

Feeling a lil....stimky?

Come see us at W9 in the Artist Alley and get something to freshen up with!

parade was fun,
but feeling a little short at the moment.

need to shower and regroup, then maybe take another wander?
we'll see.

I wonder if I'll see the day-star?☀️

Ember the cross-fox will be joining the other pre-mades at furpoc, just don't offer them any thread. they'll eat it.

WTF part of the fursuit is this?!?
a duct tape pattern piece held in front of a carved fursuit head with very yellow eyes that piece is actually almost lined up in the orientation the fur piece will be in on the finished suit
October 25, 2025 at 3:04 AM
yop-dog.bsky.social
you! yes you!
Going to furpoc?
do you like goofy, mildly inappropriate humor and crafting related horror stories?
have you've been dreaming of owning a fullsuit, but don't know how to make a DTD for one?

this might be a panel for you!

yes, it's during closing ceremonies, but, hey, I'll be there!
a flyer for a panel called "duct tape dummies for dummies" it's a clear rip-off of one if the "for dummies" books with some furries plastered over the cover! I'm Roh (the dog one) and my co-host, Plush, and I will be doing a live tutorial with a "lucky" volunteer to make a custom duct tape dummy! this panel will cover the basics on how to make a duct tape dummy (DTD) so, whether you're working with a maker or crafting for yourself, you'll have a reliable body-double to pattern off of!
