Before I get into the meat of this I'll list where you can currently find me:
https://rebarabbit.dreamwidth.org/ - New DREAMWIDTH account. I've begun fixing things up here in preparation of posting my stories once they're edited. I've also posted my current model sheet there already. This, from what I can tell at present, WILL be where my stories find their home. My art is another issue, and I'll likely have to find a separate gallery site for my art, as Dreamwidth has a 50 mb limit on total image uploads.
https://bsky.app/profile/rebarabbit.bsky.social - BLUESKY that I just got!!! Will be using this after the end of the month for a "social media" purpose. Will also be able to keep up with wherever I and my writing/art end up here.
https://www.deviantart.com/rebarabbit - I likely won't be uploading anything to DA ever but if you want to keep up with where I am this may help.
https://picarto.tv/HappyRoadkill/profile - I've toyed with the idea of doing art streams in the future, and while those would be quite a ways off, this is the most likely location for those streams.
https://www.twitch.tv/rebarabbit - Less likely but still possible future gaming streams would happen here if anyone is interested.
https://www.furaffinity.net/user/rebaroadkillrabbit/ - I've decided to not upload my stories here in the short term as planned due to FA's new policy banning ABDL. I made a more direct post about this but the gist of it is; while my stories and art wouldn't be affected by this at all (not my bag), who's to say they wouldn't put other bans in place in the future that would affect my work? And more importantly, I don't really want to give cover for this kind of ridiculous behavior from the new folks running FA by uploading things there. This creates a bit of a bigger issue regarding where I'm going to upload my art, however, as bluesky compresses images worse than I'VE ever been! I'll think on that a bit more, but for now FA will remain a place where I can post messages about where my work WILL be able to be found.
!!There may well be more links added here, I'll update this if so!!
ALSO. If we're mutuals and you'd like to add me on Discord, send me an ask.
Now on to the meat of this.
Cohost is the reason I exist. More importantly, it's the reason I exist in the way that I do now.
The life I've lived resulted in severe social anxiety and also a big chunk of social ineptitude (which did a wonderful job of reinforcing the anxiety). Cohost provided a place to test my own waters with little fear or friction. In the span of the last (less than a) year, I learned more about myself than I did in the first 35 years of my life, and more than I did in the 4 and some change years if kept separate from those first 35.
I got a much better handle on what my sexuality even is because of this place, and prior to cohost I never even had the opportunity to talk to plural systems or therians (at least any who openly signaled it), and now I have several systems and critters and critter systems (phrase stolen from @akhra ) as good friends. Cohost has been an ENLIGHTENING experience for so many who call it home.
Did you know that the name Reba and the realization that I'm a bunny thing (not necessarily in a therian way, but at least in a "this represents me" way) came into existence within a 12 hour period of time just before I made this account? And it's not because I chose those two things willy nilly. It's because the existence of this place was so clearly encouraging me to push aside walls that had prevented me from seeing anything that wasn't directly in front of me.
Did you know that the physical attributes/appearance/body feel that I'm now so fond of and comforted by, the general rules of Reba's world, the first three and a half stories I posted here, and another full story I didn't post (and am planning to repurpose later), and a whole slew of the wacky kinky ruminations I posted early in this accounts life were all developed and written within the couple of weeks before my ability to post here unlocked? It was the most I'd ever written during such a short period of time.
I stated several months ago that if cohost ever went away, I would likely go away with it, just because there isn't really any other social media site that could contain the entirety of me anymore. I want to exist and grow more though. At present, the links above don't contain any straight social media sites, though I'm going to be looking into options. I think my writing and art will certainly have to find their home in one area separate from most everything else. But I'm going to be around. I've grown accustomed to my face (to turn a phrase to breaking).
Thank you to cohost, its creators, and those that made it feel like coming home. Love you all <3
