New reff sheet for my fursona, Teal.

like being attracted to fat or finding a fat character appealing is fine + normal. you can just say that. a large part of my non-story and non-reference-sheet art is me presenting fatness as desireable and cute and fun and most importantly Normal. going "Ohhhhh they are so cutee i gotta squish and hug them ^_^" is weird and infantilizing and objectifying. do you talk like this about skinny characters too?
like its not cute + silly. you're pissing me off. that is a grown woman. shes not a dog* dont talk to her like one
*figuratively. i draw dog furries. i mean this in the way where you're talking about her like she's an animal to ogle at rather than a person with agency

A recent commission, a storm on the horizon of a blooming desert. Cut this pendant from a river pebble.
Update, there is now an official (non-racist) translation of the manga by Viz Media! I’d encourage you all to buy it and give it a read! It features multiple stories of different mixed japanese characters and some non-japanese characters.
notes of the last reblog are fulllllll of people going "uuuuh but fucking in the park is wrong it's literally a crime" like okay first of all of your definition of morality is based on what is legally permitted you are not a serious person
still mad about this so I also want to come back and say that many people approach this from an angle of queer issues, and it is certainly true that in many places queer people have been forced to seek sexual partners in public spaces due to homophobia AND targeted with homophobic policing aimed at public sex.
but it's also important to remember that at least in the US, where I write from and where many of you clutch your pearls, virtually every aspect of existence, no matter how fundamental to human indignity and comfort, is criminalized for people who are experiencing homelessness. sex is illegal, asking passerby for money is illegal, sleeping outside is illegal, standing around any one location for too long is illegal, urinating or defecating outside is illegal despite a critical lack of public bathrooms to use instead.
many, many laws exist to squeeze undesirable groups of out public sight rather than help them. once again: what's legal has very little in common with what's right.
