we thought you knew?!?

I should add that we've expanded our training operations to most Plush toys, and a ton of YA literature, oh, and about 60% of Disney movies!

we're corrupting the youth, one piece of fuzzy wimsy at a time! mwahahaha!!!

I just pattern my mannequin's neck and go extra wide on the seam allowance, so it's not too tight.

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

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

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

Mirage, the Saber cat has so much leg padding she can stand up. yes, those are her thighs! also, the rare shot of Gloom in the sunlight! he's usually nocturnal!

weird heckin' dog killed off the last of my black thread.
tomorrow I must leave the house to find more

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

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!

I got all the pokes yesterday (Flu, covid and tdap)

I'm glad I got em, but oof, rip my arms ;u;

Pepito wants my coffee, sorry bud, I ain't sharing, it's the only thing keeping me functional rn
a large travel mug full of hot coffee sitting on a side table. it's surrounded by several plants, an antler and a lidded candle. on top of the lid sits Pepito, a small artificial pumpkin with tiny black eyes and big sharp teeth. I wonder if it's offended that I'm drinking pumpkin spice coffee.

I meant to add!
he's turning 7!

Oscar's can live to 20 in some cases, although he has some funky genetics, so I'm hoping I have him for at least a few more years!

it's Gabe's adoption/birthday!

happy birthday grompy mans!!!
yes he got snacks and new pumpkins!
yes he hated them!

I add something new to his name so it gets longer every year!
its now
"Sir Gabriel T fishface, assbutt extraordinaire, slayer of pumpkins, breaker of filters, grumpiest of gentlemen"
THE GRUMPY! Gabe is the one Fish in "one Fish studio"! he has a 75 gallon tank pretty much to himself. he's a sassy goober who revels in fighting his own reflection and trying to bite me every time I try to clean the tank! the pumpkins aren't for me, he LOVES attacking red and orange things and mopes if I don't switch out/move his toys around regularly Baby Gabe-y! I bought him from Walmart because he looked like he was gonna die. he was so incredibly shy for the first month that I had him! once he started to get bigger, he boldened up a little, but his reaction to most things for a while was to pretend to be dead

Hello! Little birdy here to tell you that One Fish Studio will (most likely) be opening up for quotes on 11/5 and will be opening up for coms on 11/15!
the opening will run a little differently this year, so stay tuned for more info!
Booker the Bantam hen on her snack box! she has taken a break from playing percussion to let you know that fursuit commissions for 2026 delivery will be opening up in November! IDK how Booker knows these things, but she is wise...for a chicken

I keep forgetting to show off my haul from @2fuzzyfeelings.bsky.social!
thank you for the extra goodies!

I wish I had remembered to take the Pic BEFORE I cracked into the first bottle of bubble bath, but I couldn't resist a good soak lol

I never saved any of mine from girlscouts (my troop was a bunch of mean girls so I didn't stick with them for long) but whenever I go someplace interesting, I try to get a patch to add to my collection! I also have a few from furpoc that I need to display somewhere :3
