A pilot article of furry art appreciation. Still a beginner but it has to start somewhere.

考慮換個方式與社群平台互動：更專注在輸出內容（部落格），而非讀別人的內容。有點像推播發文通知。這一年半我喜歡在自己的部落格上記錄（/log），因為我不會看到他人的反應，而這些反應（或不反應）會讓我焦慮。但有些比較長的文章我還是希望更多人看到——想與人交流想法。近期會重新在這裡發文（正在研究自動發文）。若想聊我的生活，歡迎從 Gmail / Telegram 找我。 English: will autopost blog post link (Chinese), adjusting my way of interaction with social apps.

Annual check. I still feel the same. I mean I’m very easily distracted, especially from furry friends and stuff. I would indulge myself in social network apps if I don’t need to think about my irl stuff, but that’s not the case. I still update my website very frequently, on the contrary. *yip*

I reckon that it’s better for my headspace to only post my stuff on my blog and my furaffinity page. I feel like it takes me forever to pull my mind back to reality (and work) after I swipe on any social media platform. I still see friends update on weekly basis so am not deleting account. *yip*

Non-capitalized “shu” is on purpose. It feels more balanced visually and I prefer low-key. Intentionally using some monospace font and :: for description to imply that I’m in the IT industry. That’s all I can think of to add on about the new ref sheet! Hope you enjoy it as well c:

The new logo design consists of several elements: simple geometric shape, lightning, digitigrade, S from shu. I’m pretty satisfied with the design even though I’m definitely not a logo design expert myself. At this point my crop top shirt logo is finally determined instead of some random drawings.

The jogging outfit was a whim made by @/kyubbiarts.bsky.social back in 2022, which I fell in love with instantly. Then in last year I asked @/marrowsoup.bsky.social to draw it again for me but with different posture, and the result is stunning! I love the mixture of sport and femboy look.

Say hello to my v2 ref sheet by the awesome @edesk.bsky.social <3 Am really loving the entire piece, and it feels more positive and confident to me. More thoughts below:

This can not be stressed enough. I actually can feel that my overall well-being is improving when I make myself the top priority. There are still rooms for improvement, but I think I handle myself pretty well. Friends are still essential to me, so I’ll see what I can do with it next.

Feeling offended from a bot account insta-like + follow. Glad I’ll be migrating to my blog later.

000

Still welcoming new friends, but only if they find me interesting enough and willing to cope with my way of using the internet. 🦊

I will slowly fade away from using these social media platforms. Maybe will still check friends’ updates but that’s it. Might share links to blog post during the transition, but will be posting stuff there only. I’m still in the middle of blog migration though, hope I can get this done soon.

100

I want to make a change. I want to craft a different kind of interaction and set a different mindset. I will retreat to my blog and share things there, and I will not expect feedbacks from ppl. I will treat my Telegram more like an email thing instead of a pager (will leave few exceptions)

100

Well, the asynchronous nature of interaction through internet is what bothers me the most. You don’t know when your post will receive a like or text from whom; you don’t know when your message will be read or responded. You have no control. You are playing with a jackpot machine. You win little.

100

When I were still active on Twitter, I used to enjoy sharing my daily life and feel happy about receiving the likes. Now I just don’t find a good reason to share on Twitter (and here). Maybe cuz my experience on Twitter and here is not as good, and the algorithm would just wash down my post anyway.

100

Not having much energy to socialize in furry fandom tbh. I still enjoy hanging out / chatting with furs that I know well, I just feel a bit aimless and felt meh meeting new fur friends. I feel that it’s enough to just stay connected with known / close fur friends, and spend most time with myself.

130

A bit too digressing so I just want to thank the past me created a grey fox for me. This grey fox has been bringing me an alternative, but way more interesting and meaningful life encounters, whether happy ones or sad ones. There will be more stories of him for sure, as life goes on.

000

I can’t see myself interacting with them without confusion. I know their way of treating their character is totally valid. It’s just not my thing. I don’t cherish Fidget as much as Shu. The fursuit is beautiful yes, but it’s merely a gateway for me to be a silly fox and teasing horrified strangers.

I always have to think twice when I perceive such artwork from who I’m familiar with personally. Are their character them? Or it’s just a dummy character for their own pleasure? Like uchinoko (うちの子) means “my child” in Japanese, and they have a very strict line between their child and themselves.

100

I always wonder what’s in their mind when they receive their artwork. Their characters being intimate means they are intimate in real life, right? Are they happy with the result if they’re not intimate in person? Maybe it’s for the sexual pleasure when viewing? They’re not their characters perhaps.

100

It always confuse me to see my furry friends seem to be happy with their character being drawn and not fitting their personality at all. Maybe their happiness is just a courtesy of receiving an artist’s work? It confuses me a lot more when I see their characters been drawn in a more intimate scene.

100

The fact that Shu is me in my mind makes this grey fox character very personal. Shu is introvert means I am introvert. Shu having emotions mean me having them. My fursona is not a manifest of escapism, but a realization of me. I’d rather be a grey fox anthro than a human in reality if possible.

I have been wondering about one thing for so long: Many furries seem to be okay with creating (or commissioning) a fursona that doesn’t resemble them, whether body type, height, outfit, personality, expression, etc.. While I have Fidget fox and yes I enjoy suiting them, Fidget is not me. Shu is. 🧵

10. Just cuddles in a cozy place. I’m a tactile fox; while also I am pretty picky about who to touch. It’s more about being physically and mentally comfortable with cuddling with a specific person (most likely a furry). Once the threshold is through, I will think about the cuddling all the time.

9. Introspective. This quality I have since high school was what I dislike for a long while. It’s only when I read a book talking about introverts and their advantages that I gradually learn to understand and harness its power. That book is a game changer to me.

8. Lack of motivation at times. I know it’s okay to take it easy, but really there’s nothing much I’m deeply interested in atm. Most of the time things feel meh to me, which I don’t like, because it makes me less interesting to others.

Just trying to figure out exactly how many are actually reading my posts so feel free to press the like to trade for a bit more of me 👀 (Might skip questions that are irrelevant / unimportant to me or don’t wanna answer)

12) I have a rather cozy place to live in. Friends can hangout at my place, and I’m surrounded by furry stuff. I can revisit the furry stuff whenever I want to, and I can redesign the interior if I feel like to. 13) Am glad I have many things to thank to in this thread.

9) My parents are doing okay. I probably should learn more recipes from them later. 10) I know starting with failure is the essence to achieve anything. As long as failure is controllable, failure should be the first item of the checklist. 11) I think learning new stuff can be fun. Take it easy.

120

7) I don’t have to worry about my current job, they pay is okay, the atmosphere is nice within the team I belong to, the managers are knowledgeable and easy to communicate, the job itself is what I like to do. 8) I have some side projects to work on, like the blog migration and the thermal printer.

4) I have several very close friends and I’m glad they see me as their close friend as well. 5) They are independent enough to take care of themselves, which is what I’m looking up to and learning from. 6) I will have hangouts with them later. If not, I know I always can schedule a talk with them.

1) I have a fursona that I really like and he’s really meaningful to me. I’m glad I can be him. 2) I learned that exercising, cooking and enough sleeping time will eventually do me good and I can count on them. 3) I pay attention to my usage of attention, and I am capable of controlling them.

It’s so easy for me to focus on the pessimistic side of my life: what I once had but lost now, what I am having but will lose later, what I don’t have but others seem to have. Instead, perhaps I should practice more on reminding myself what I have and will have, to remind myself how lucky I am.

Post a pic YOU took (no description) to bring some zen to the timeline.

I very much love the idea of connecting with people worldwide(ish, mostly western let’s be honest, and given the fact I’m using English) through the internet, and even some of the connection became very meaningful to me. But really, being physically present makes lots of diffs, especially the hugs.

:: shu @shuthegreyfox.com · 06/11/2024

You’re doing great shu. You handle yourself well.

4. My closest partner/friends with whom I can share everything and cuddle 5. Skills that earn enough money 6. Hobbies that entertain me 7. Enough free time to do things above I think every decision I make should align to the list above.

The ultimate question would be: what are the {things, people, mindset} that you would like to keep around for a little longer until you’re unable to? My answer for now would be like (in order): 1. shuthegreyfox 2. Physically and mentally healthy 3. My cozy den …

:: shu @shuthegreyfox.com · 04/11/2024

I don’t like the idea of letting the emotion come and go like they’re passengers of my life. I own my emotion and they are part of me. I know it’s better to just let go the feelings (learned in a hard way tho), but I guess I just want to grasp on something that I cherish but do not own.

:: shu @shuthegreyfox.com · 29/10/2024

Adding new friends on social media and pending for approval kinda eat up my attention. Should just leave it be and clear up my mind.

Picking a hiking route on-the-fly is a new concept to me. It requires me to be open to unexpected and be adaptive. Hiking with a friend like that further requires empathy. I’m a meticulous planner. I *need* things act as planned. But yeah trying my best to be flexible. Need more practices for sure.

:: shu @shuthegreyfox.com · 17/10/2024

Hey folks, old and new, just so you know for now I use this place for jotting my thoughts, so nothing exciting here. If you’re looking for fursuits or artworks, or photos of me, then you’re following the wrong fox. Unfollow me at your will. Nothing else to say here so I’m going to do my own thing.

:: shu @shuthegreyfox.com · 08/10/2024

“Whenever feeling down, work on the abs and core.” This technique surprisingly works for me and improves my mental health aaand my physical body, though only tried a few times. Breathing works too but workout is easier for me to focus on one thing.

Speaking of, haven’t been playing drum set for a long while, and I finally had enough energy to grab my drumsticks and play along the drum cover of some funky anime music 👀✨ Man it feel so good playing a song which gives me good learning curve. Always accomplish something every time I practice.
