not enough interest so I'm just not going to waste any more time with it.

I've been receiving a lot of unsolicited discord friend requests lately and I feel as though some people need some clarification on why I ignored their request.

I'm of the opinion that it is basic internet etiquette to include context whenever you try to initiate private conversation with someone online.

If you DM me on twitter, IB or here on FA you can include a message that I can read, and I can look at your account for additional details.
If you add me on discord, I see a name and a profile picture.
I don't know who you are.
I don't know what you want.
For all I know you're gonna try to send me malware or other illegal stuff, or are a literal child who evaded parental supervision long enough to make it my problem.

If we're like, mutuals or something and I recognize the name/profile picture I may accept, but I generally ignore such requests out of principle.

Just because you know who I am and can safely assume I do not have any nefarious intentions doesn't mean it goes the other way. Put yourself in my shoes. If some random person you do not recognize tried adding you, completely unsolicited, would you just accept? Because I wouldn't, even before I started doing art publicly. Because that's common sense.

TL;DR--
If you want to be ignored by Fiftyfifthfleet, send a friend request over discord and do literally nothing else.
If you actually want to talk to Fiftyfifthfleet, do literally anything other than the former.

Some of you may already be aware that I do frequently draw "loli" characters (though I stick to my personal rule of not drawing NSFW of characters canonically under the age of 18), and I keep such artworks on sites that allow it (inkbunny, pixiv, twitter, etc) so I'm probably not going to be affected by this rule change at all. Except for 1, maybe 2 characters. Ezmalaht and maybe Aubrey.

Ezmalaht (https://www.furaffinity.net/view/49048340/) is very clearly a "shortstack". Which generally people agree is completely separate from loli.
But. Ezmalaht has a "secret" flat-chested version that could very easily be described as "loli".

I somewhat intentionally did this because I find the thought of passing off a loli character as a shortstack and posting NSFW of her on a site that explicitly prohibits loli very amusing.

I don't think a literal-who artist like myself is going to necessarily catch the eye of big brother FA, but regardless I'd be very interested to see how this rule change would interpret some shortstack characters, and if having big boobs actually a viable way to shake the status of "cub/loli character" in the eyes of FA moderation.

I've often said that "Kobolds are legal lolis for furries" since they often share a lot of qualities with loli style characters; being short, cute, usually flat chested, with a ditzy or childish personality. But I really, really doubt that kobolds will be targeted by this rule, if for no other reason than so few other people have made this same connection between loli and kobold characters.

Anyways, I don't think this rule is actually going to affect what I already do post here, so I'll just keep on doing what I already do, but who knows.
Follow my other accounts to be safe, etc etc. idrc

I have a bunch of OCs that I don't really use, some of which haven't even been officially released, so I figured I should just have a sale and pawn them off to people who might care for them better than I have. So I can then create more OCs without feeling guilty about all the ones I already have but don't ever use.

I'm super lazy so I'm just gonna set them all at a standard asking price of $40 USD each, first come, first serve.
Depending on how this goes I might make a more direct advertisement for this, but I'm busy with comms still so I'd rather just sell them with minimal effort. :0

Anyway, the OCs I am selling are as follows;

If you have questions or are interested in purchasing one the these characters, feel free to DM me or comment below.

I've been fairly vocal about my intentions to try doing more vore for a while now, but for various reasons I haven't.

Recently though I've been considering doing a round of exclusively vore commissions or YCH at a discount, as a way to maybe get more people interested and get some practice in while I'm at it.

So I've also been thinking-- what kind of vore would you guys prefer? I'm mostly talking about perspective-- would you (hypothetically) want to commission me drawing your character(s) being vored or doing the voring?

I have two characters that are explicitly open to vore artwork, Uilla and Kaaxhe, but they're both preds, so if I want to try doing a YCH or something with either of them that limits the pool of interested people by however many people like/dislike having their characters vored.

so, here's a poll
https://strawpoll.com/polls/eJnv7l4Wagv

I'm not explicitly saying that I'm doing anything yet, but depending on how it goes that will definitely effect my thoughts on the matter.

The impression I've gotten from the people who follow me is that they generally like my Characters more than my art itself. Not to say that I'm bad at drawing on anything, but I'm certainly not the best and have a lot to learn. But I digress.

Given that some people specifically like me for my OCs, the only way for someone to get art of say, Delilah, is to wait for me to feel like drawing her... or wait for a commission slot. Which I haven't done in close to a year. So if you like Delilah specifically, you're stuck waiting for Fleet's neurons to be activated correctly on a blue moon.

So recently I've been thinking, and decided to clarify something--

If you're a commissioner or artist who wants to commission/draw artworks with my OCs, I am totally okay with that.
As long as you're being respectful to the source material (by that I mean please don't draw anything I wouldn't) you have my blessing. If you want my official FiftyFifthFleet Seal of Approval™ you can also just ask me directly in DMs if what you want is okay with me. I am okay with A LOT things, but I do have my limits eventually.

Additionally, if you're an artist and we're mutual follows, I'm open to doing trades.
I'd love to opportunity to draw some of your OCs, but I'm too shy to reach out :0

Is this just a ploy to get more lewds of my OCs without having to draw them myself? Yes. Yes it is.
But if you personally wanted to commission me for my OCs, I'm telling you that you don't need to do it through me specifically.

I've wanted to try drawing vore for a while now. Maybe one or two of you noticed the single line in Kaaxhe's character sheet mentioning how "Kaaxhe has no digestive system, meaning any creature that finds their way inside her are in no real danger." and won't really be all that surprised. I designed Kaaxhe specifically with the intent to do vore pieces with her someday. I've even been considering a new kobold OC who will be sort of an accessory to Kaaxhe, and be my way of easing into doing vorestuff.

I know most people either love vore or hate it. What I'm guessing most people don't like about it is lethal component, stuff like digestion, cum transformation or whatever. Personally, I don't like drawing death or implied death in pornography, so I can say with certainty that I will NOT do any lethal vore.

Now, here are my issues. Some people just don't like vore, period. So the obvious answer would be to just create another account for vore.
Problem is, I don't see myself doing it that often, just an occasional pic of Kaaxhe (or maaaaybe feral Virena, idk), unless a whole bunch of people nab commissions from me to do it.

Of course, I could just ignore any possible repercussions and just do what I want. I've already drawn some pretty weird shit that is about as weird as vore (if not slightly weirder) so if it makes you recoil and unwatch at the mere sight of it then I don't know what to say. Bye, I guess? :^)

Feedback welcome, especially if you don't like vore.
Or if you like vore you could encourage me by telling me how much you'd like to see it. :^)

As many of you likely know, I have a separate account specifically for my feral art. Though I (surprisingly) have yet to do so, I've been pondering where to put art depicting non-feral-focused feral art; stuff like an anthro character being topped by a feral.

I'm leaning towards having the distribution be specifically for whatever the character focus is; as in if an anthro character is the focus, it'll go on the main, regardless if there are ferals in the image. Given the overwhelming popularity of my feral art I don't think I'll have many people take issue.

Thoughts? Am I overthinking this?
Either way I think I'll go with my initial idea of separating my art by anthro/feral focus instead of a hard line, but feedback is still welcome.

are you a
connoisseur of the quadrupedal?
