Being a Flattening/TF artist can be so absurdly unrewarding, plenty of useless drama together with it being a super specific niche thing that gets tiny engagement, sometimes not even self-indulgency or commission money can feel like enough motivation to continue doing so. I suppose this is an overall common issue for any kind of artist really, but it does feel even stronger in our themes here.

So as sappy and corny as this sounds, do appreciate your favorite squishy artists out there; it's not from nothing that such comically high amount of them quit all of sudden!


I'm doing ok here by the way, this is just a random thought that comes to mind now and then, no worries! 🤍

Agreed. I hate it when you just wanna share these cute squishing scenes and people accuse you of being a fetishist when you aren’t.


Yet don’t act the same when it’s done in non-fanart cartoons.
