I'm stuck in quarantine and unable to hug my friends so I was inspired by a similar post to compile this list! Great coping mechanism this is. For real though lol it was really fun to work on and I feel like it's a great way to quickly and concisely give an overview of each of their personalities :>


Zayne

he probably managed to accidentally smack either you or himself in the process but you’re both having a lot of fun so it’s worth it. a faint sense of awkwardness hangs over you though, and you get the feeling he isn’t used to this sort of vulnerability


Draide

most people: no


if you somehow gain his trust: probably still no but mostly because he doesn’t know how to initiate affection


if he trusts you and you initiate: this boy isn’t letting go. burrows his face in your chest and shows no sign of emerging. you’re in this for the long haul


Kia

the very definition of a great hug. her fur is soft and warm and she radiates love and support. you wonder briefly if she lets others show the same level of support to her, but the last time you mentioned this she brushed it off and you’re not quite sure how to broach the topic again, so you just let her hug you


Taias

overly excitable ball of energy and affection. he’s half your size but he can and will bowl you over. when it’s over you’re left in the aftermath feeling like you’ve been assaulted by a pomeranian


Vennia

probably only truly comfortable hugging Taias, but doesn’t know how to say no to others


Arevi

if she’s not very familiar with you: very stiff and formal. hug lasts about a second


if she knows you well: somehow manages to make the experience of hugging intense. holds you like she wants to protect you from all the suffering in the world. you’re pretty sure she’s shooting glares at everyone else in the vicinity over your shoulder


Blire

big bear hugs, very warm emotionally but metal arms make them very cold physically (a fact that is often weaponized against Arevi)


Rhoden

VERY fun hugger, will absolutely pick you up and spin you around. maybe even toss you a bit if you’re up for it


Orienne

you’ve never felt safer in your life. every post-hug moment is spent trying to get her to hug you again


Enzi

light but enveloping. you can’t help but feel like you’re being lost in something vast and greater than yourself


Kocio

his hugs are good, amazing even, but you can tell they’re rehearsed. they’re perfect in a way that’s sterile and impersonal. in the back of your mind you’re reminded of corporate ads that refer to their customers as family.


once he’s familiar with you though, he no longer hugs you. you almost miss it, and occasionally you may ask him for one, but you always regret speaking up because the subtle sigh he gives makes it clear enough that you’re being a nuisance. he complies though, and it’s just as flawless and cold as it was the first time. you’re left feeling emptier than you had before, the deep ache inside you only growing more desperate for even a shred of actual affection. as much as you don’t want to, you know eventually you will cave and ask for another one.


The Merchant

extremely boney, not at all comfortable. he’s probably pickpocketing you as we speak

BABSCon is doing an online convention while we're all in quarantine!! I'm vending in their virtual vendor hall this weekend, and I've set up an Etsy store where you can buy my acrylic charms. My pride pony charms are back, and this year I have the addition of pansexual and non-binary designs!

You can find my channel on their discord server or go directly to my Etsy!

Eclipse

With Eclipse on the horizon, I've seen a lot of people making posts like this so I figured I would address it as well. I myself am NOT planning on leaving DeviantArt. Even with these drastic changes, DeviantArt is still my favorite platform both in format and environment, and I intend to stick around for as long as I possibly can. But for those who are leaving and still want to be able to keep up with my art, you can find me on the following platforms--


Twitter https://twitter.com/AphelionMars

Pillowfort https://www.pillowfort.social/AphelionMars


Twitter seems to be where most people are heading and as such has many amazing artists, but I do feel the need to warn you that the culture has gotten increasingly toxic and volatile over the past year. tessary wrote a great guide for newcomers that covers terminology, etiquette, and survival tips and can be found here.


Pillowfort is a much more friendly platform and is catered specifically to creative folks, but it's much smaller and you need an invite code to join. Each user has a number of invites they can give out per week and I'd be happy to share mine if any of you are interested! Send me a note if you'd like one!


For those who are leaving, I wish you luck in finding a new platform. For those who are staying, I hope you're adjusting well to the change and will help me keep this site alive!
