Hi everyone! Like the title mentions - is there a way to break up an AO collection you've bought? I have one which has a lot of animations I really like, but some of them just...don't work? And the AO resets every time I log in, so I can't consistently set what I want in a way that's not annoying. What I'd like to do is get the animations out of the AO, and put them into the Firestorm AO function, so that it's only drawing from the pool I want. Is that even allowed?

/me blushes from the tops of his ears to the tip of his tail. This. THIS is my problem. Eventually maybe I'll be able to take pictures as amazing as yours. Eventually. Maybe. Also - *laughs* so weird bumping into you there! Also - Everyone it's SUCH a gorgeous spot. I don't want to really give away secret spots, but it's a spot by a lake. So beautiful for pictures. @Aiyumei's pictures of course. Probably all y'alls too.

Count me in. Unfortunately 12 SLT is outside my time frame normally. But I'd love to be looped into this project Feorie.

Omg. Love it. Love it. Love it. The tagline sells this so well Vanessa. I had a pretty good chuckle at it. This look is absolutely fabulous!

Awww. Yay you guys!! This is so nice to hear. I'm sure he doesn't think of it as "patience" at all either. So sweet both of you!

The cards are really neat (and they even look a little worn somehow...maybe in the texturing? The yellowing?) But also - AHHH! That light! Those shadows! That steam coming from the mug! It's fantastic!

I love the setting, the old school nintendo screen, all of it. But I have to ask: Is that the Mellon Choly and Infinite Sadness art on the hanging tapestries? Because I am...99.9% positive it is? And that is just AMAZING to create the image of a bedroom c. 1997-1999. Beautiful.

This is so so SO great asteriddle! I can't get over just how absolutely cool the whole image is. 500 filters you say? Like totally totally worth it. So neat!

This is really wonderful - the light catching in the eyes, the slightly muted background where the hair almost blends in completely. The light striking against the shoulder. It's really really well done

I'll be honest, Krystina, he could read me the phonebook and I'd follow him home.

Iggy!!! AHH!! What on earth IS this?!? It's incredible, that's what this is. Seriously, if this was an album cover for Iggy UwU's new album? I wouldn't be in the least surprised. I even thought of photoshopping it up as one, just to see what it would look like. I LOVE this! SO much! There is so much working in here, so much that just...fits, perfectly. This belongs in an SL gallery somewhere (or, y'know, an album cover! Iggy UwU - Little Candles Everywhere. OR Iggy UwU - Out of Bounds.) It is so so so so nice.

I WAS going to comment on another post you'd made, where you showed off your new eyes, but then I saw this. Oh, my heart. Context, of course being everything (you'd mentioned elsewhere about being a dancer for a long time) This is so moving, and soul-filled, and meaningful and singular. The multiple shadows are a wonderful touch, and the lighting and set are as sparse as they need to be. But those are just kind of...errata? It's the meaning of this piece that just lodges in the heart and stays there. Thank you for sharing this one so much.

When I remember to breathe, I think I'll able to talk about how I love the shadow falling across the blanket from the window - how once again you're letting the skewed angle give us some space, some atmosphere, a small world to work with in this. The slight smirk, the evening light is all of one piece in telling the story here. Well done! Of course, that would require me remembering how to breathe.

This. All of this. Like all of it. BraVO, sir. This is such a well thought out explication of not only "what is the appeal of SL over Meta" but also "Why adult content exists in SL" Thank you for it. Facebook/Twitter/OnlyFans/Instagram have shown time and again that they will court adult content creators for their user base, only to abandon them to "go legit." That speaks volumes about where they view those content creators in a social hierarchy, and the fact those tiers of hierarchy exist within their structure is troublesome to say the least. I prefer SL over Meta because, even with its pixel-perfect avatars, SL shows all of the warts and gems and dross that are the wide fabric of human experience, while also allowing some of us to explore the very limits of what it means to exist. I don't think Meta, with its cauterized sense of humanity and potential for rank monetization can even HOPE to come close to that.

Are...are those...GLOWING cat ears??? I am NOT just praising this because I have a weakness (affinity?) for all things Neko adjacent. (no sir. Not at all.) The cats eye is absolutely inCREDIBLE and the cellphone in the hand lends SUCH a solid sense of the everyday that really enhances the magical nature of the ears and eyes. This is wonderful! Thank you!

Ahh! I can NOT believe that I keep thinking to myself I responded to this one and didn't. Rrr. I LOVE it!!! That amazingly horrifyingly intimidating (sword? gun? what is that awesome thing you're holding?) coupled with the inline skates is a furry that's ready for like...almost everything. The fact that the (gun? sword?) matches your pink fur is just the icing on the cake. Soooo cool!!

"Blush, and better eyebrows"? Stahp. Stahp. You already look DEVASTATING. You will blot out the sun! (semi-serious, but still. Ahhh!) I don't know how many tweaks you've done to the Nova head, but you really have given the shape of it a lot of care and thought. (or...you know...maybe you didn't. Maybe this is just "off-the-rack" I have no idea. But it LOOKS like you've given it a lot of thought, so there :P) It's a great shot. Thanks so much for it!

I love this...dress? Hybrid swimsuit? It's so incredibly extra - the sheer (bodysuit? leggings? something?) outer fabric really lends something to the black and white suit underneath, combined with the concrete-and-marble background it really highlights the monochrome dress (dress?). But also - You do such an amazing job with varying the photos you put up here - there's some great shots with fabulous complimentary backgrounds (that steep hill town shot is Great!) and then you have these primary color (or single color) backgrounds where our focus is all on the subject, and the lighting in each is just lovely. Thanks so much for this one, but also for all the other ones I haven't quoted on!

awww yay!!!! I look forward to more chats with you too, Seren! I'll have to scour my house for catnip, but I'm sure I'll be able to find at least one or two sachets Thanks so much! *big hugs back!*

So many of your photos have this incredible sense of glamor and chic. This one is a fantastic example of it. From the pose with the handbag, the matching scarf? I love this consistent running theme you have in all of them. Really really well done!

Aww...thanks so much Krystina (I keep thinking I replied to this, and just now realized I did not, in fact actually do it) I actually couldn't agree more. I know some people have the discipline to organize their own day (and I am a little envious of it. How. How can you maintain a schedule that only you are accountable to? Sounds like sorcery to me) But I have always been more productive with my free time when there was non-free time I needed to work around. I hope for all the best for you too, especially towards your veterinary goals. Medical ANYthing is a lofty lofty aim. Various species of animal medicine is bewildering. Others have said it before (and in this thread, too!) but that is so very impressive, both for the skill required, and the heart to chose it.

Gah I know. "Sorry, but" = no. No you're not sorry. That but means you are not sorry in the slightest. It's up there with "I hate to be a jerk but..." or its so much worse cousin: "I'm not racist but." The answer is no. No you are. Deal with it. Wow. That got more angry than I intended. But I know what you mean.

This is fantastic. Where is your gallery? I love the idea of it being an exclusive. Do other artists do the same here?

This is fabulous. Fabulous. Fabulous. (and also Browning. Ahhh what a guy) But this! The earlier monochrome was really excellent, but this has so much texture and care - even down to the fireplace. I don't know how long it may have taken you to smooth it out (and I know PS can sometimes be fiddly with its effects) but really really well done.
