i’m still so bummed they broke up. insane potential. also really disappointed their album didn’t get more traction, it might be an all-time favourite for me
AVIAN (@avianvevo.bsky.social) reply parent
ceres and calypso! it has a running narrative where the seal and girl on the cover travel in time through different geologic periods. all their stuff is great tho, two airships/exploder falls is one of my favourites
AVIAN (@avianvevo.bsky.social) reply parent
candy claws, lift to experience, tapir!, the list is longer than i’d like it to be

we need more bands who make fantastic concept albums and then immediately break up

The more things I've made, the less I've been interested in publicly criticizing the things that other people make, because once you make a few things you start to understand what a miracle it is that anything gets made at all

oh i would have snapped. i would be on the news. i’m so sorry
AVIAN (@avianvevo.bsky.social)
i would like to be making art, but they’re making me work a 7 day work week because they hate me and want me to die

the tractor is kinda charming tbh
AVIAN (@avianvevo.bsky.social)
checking my hometown in wplace, all that’s there is the word “help”, a “no” arrow pointed to it, a tractor out in a field, and, of course, spamton.

apologies to anyone I don’t end up getting back to this artfight, it’s not that I don’t appreciate the work, it’s that my job is trying to kill me

it seems ok now, the set-up reminds me a lot of discord, but i've only used it a couple times

all the undertale posts today have been very sweet. i never got into it, but i always love hearing how art has affected people. that’s what it’s all about
AVIAN (@avianvevo.bsky.social) reply parent
i actually really liked season 2, but the radio silence on season 3 has me scared to check it out
AVIAN (@avianvevo.bsky.social) reply parent
its disgust all the way down. all reactionary movements are
AVIAN (@avianvevo.bsky.social) reply parent
i’m not casting the blame of this on you, I wouldn’t be responding if I didn’t think you were cool, but these sorts of posts /are/ a kind of crowdsourced abuse. it’s easy to feel less responsible when you’re one person in a crowd, but that crowd becomes an ocean, and it’s an easy one to drown in
AVIAN (@avianvevo.bsky.social) reply parent
i saw (and still see) people saying truly heinous shit. blocking alone can really only do so much, especially when people circumvent those blocks to continue their harassment (as did the op)
AVIAN (@avianvevo.bsky.social) reply parent
i mean, even if that was all, that *is* still harassment. the whole point of harassment is to create an environment of hostility. having hundreds of people shouting at you or creating memes about you or speculating on the nature of your character, it’s dehumanizing. that’s the point

Things are really not easy for artists now, so please support your favortite artists, either by buying their stuff, sharing their posts, commenting, liking, anything helps 💗

it sucks that existing as a “public figure” in any capacity effectively nullifies your humanity to a lot of people
AVIAN (@avianvevo.bsky.social) reply parent
i get people have their issues, but what is this meant to accomplish?
AVIAN (@avianvevo.bsky.social) reply parent
no beef, but serious question - if screenshotting a vent post, with a few dozen likes, in order to mock it, publicly, to the tune of hundreds of likes/replies/quote tweets, after over a year of dozens of others doing exactly that, is not harassment - what is?

Mega experimental format unusual for me I've been wanting to learn how to draw backgrounds and fit characters into the environment for a long time, but I'm afraid to start.. I think it's time to get out of my comfort zone

oooh thank you very much!! the lighting is gorgeous! great work on it!

sorry if this is insane to say, but i dont think a group of reactionary cultists should set the cultural agenda for all of society

If you want to actually solve the problem, instead of punishing itch, start calling payment cos Collective Shout, which is run by people who get published by Spinifex, a very terf-seeming organization, apparently needed 1,000 people to yell at visa to get this done. We got more than 1000 people.

every ounce of energy enjoying art is as valuable as participating in creating art because to be an audience to art is to "participate" in its creation. there is no static line between audience and creator just points of intent, context, and contribution

13.people get far too competitive with the art they love. i hope we all make it

12. I prefer summer to winter. sorry
AVIAN (@avianvevo.bsky.social) reply parent
11. i see posts mourning their loss all the time, but i don’t think forums are ever coming back. at least not in any mainstream capacity, given the way the internet is currently structured
AVIAN (@avianvevo.bsky.social) reply parent
10. a lot of modern home architecture feels like it’s a space designed to be passed through rather than a space that’s actually lived in. liminal, but in a cold and corporate way

8. i’m always going to prefer a long album with 20 different ideas than than a short album with 1, even if that 1 idea is done very well
AVIAN (@avianvevo.bsky.social) reply parent
7. art is about communication, so art always has a message, even if it doesn’t “intend” to
AVIAN (@avianvevo.bsky.social) reply parent
6. when creating art, passion will always trump technical skill. if you don’t believe in what you’re doing, no one else will either. you can’t fake that
AVIAN (@avianvevo.bsky.social) reply parent
5. discomfort is an important emotion to sit with. it’s good to understand *why* things make you uncomfortable rather than allowing discomfort itself to inform your decisions and actions
AVIAN (@avianvevo.bsky.social) reply parent
4. “authenticity” and “relatability” are marketing strategies, and that’s kind of scary
AVIAN (@avianvevo.bsky.social) reply parent
3. i don’t think “media literacy is dead”, but i do think social media forcing people to condense their opinions into short, quippy paragraphs results in less nuance. these aren’t really platforms built for discussions.
AVIAN (@avianvevo.bsky.social) reply parent
2. “post-furry” is kind of a funny concept. a lot of “post-furry” artists are still exploring the same sorts of ideas and concepts, just in more “abstract” terms. it usually feels like a difference in stylization rather than subject matter, which is probably why the term never really caught on
AVIAN (@avianvevo.bsky.social) reply parent
1. most furry art, even incidentally, is about identity. i’d go as far as to argue it’s maybe the core universal trait
