Despite the fact I'd rather not say, I can assure you that neither fetish are anything so awful or autistic that they'd make you want to gorge your eyes out.

but i don't consider anyone i can't communicate with a friend. not in a like we don't talk period so we aren't friends anymore way, but a, i have to control my communication with this person or else they will hate me way. i hate that. i have friends for comfort, not to be emotionally abused. as long as communication is on the table i consider them my friend, even if they're away right now.

I can communicate with them, I just fear that if I bring this up that I'd just make them feel like I'm trying to manipulate them for free art.

I've told them I've been feeling like shit lately, and they've been supportive, but I haven't told them WHY I've been feeling like shit.

>>5410060
>I can communicate with them, I just fear that if I bring this up that I'd just make them feel like I'm trying to manipulate them for free art.

lmao. in other words, you can't communicate with them. "I can express my feels to my friend, but I can't express my feels to my friend, for they wil misinterpret it".

Think of a box. If you can't move the box from point A to point B without the box's integrity being compromised, it means you cannot deliver that box without something being lost on the way; that means you can't say you can fundamentally deliver that box, because you can't unless you rationalize "it may be changed but semanticsblah". It the same here.

You can't say you can communicate if communication literally cannot be achieved. The purpose of communication is mutual sympathy; even if you're just delivering a message from someone else, your goal is to deliver that message wothout its integroty being compromised. So, I'm sorry, but regardless of the circumstances that render you unable to have your friend sympathize with your thoughts on this matter, the fact that you two can't achieve mutual sympathy on this means communication is either not on the table (read: is an option), or cannot be achieved, fundamentally, at least on that topic.

This is why I have a massive list of things I want on hand at any given time. Then I just give the list to the artist and let them choose. It's worked out well so far.

the words in this post:

Do you not understand them? "Someone" "replied to him already" "and said yes". The only way you can misunderstand this to me is if you ignore the contents of the post you replied to asking if he was serious.

I wasn't asking who the artist was. I was asking around if it was common for his slots to always fill up quick, not just some one-time occurrence. Is that clear enough or should I deconstruct it further?

Are there ANY artists who actually enforce this fucking rule when they say they have one? Whenever I see one of those artist's chats turns into a pity party, the artist never does anything of value. They either just sit there and let it happen or pull some half-assed "Hey guys, tone down that kind of discussion, okay?" shit

Other than strictly furry artists, these have been my experience. I thought artists getting together would be more stale and competitive, and non-artists would be more calm appreciative. So, as a non-artist myself, I was surprised.

Why is it easier for artists to get along with their competition than it is with their fans?

I'm an artist and it used to be extremely helpful to see the previous streams of better artists and seeing how they work. Livestream did a nice job of saving all previous streams.
Now it's all Picarto, which doesn't record a thing and you have to be there to catch their stream.
Wish artists would go back to livestream.
