Frequently Asked Questions

What are each of these pages on the sidebar supposed to be for?

Home Page is… the home page, Blog Posts is a list/archive of blog posts that I’ve made up to this point, Websites is a list of online resources that I find to be either interesting or invaluable in some way, File Pile is where I host some of my personal or found files that are available for download, PC Corner is basically where I show off my favorite computers, and, frankly, if you need to ask what 18+ Zone is for then you’re probably too young to look at it anyways.

Who’s the little bastard in the banner?

That’s me! ...or the closest approximation I could make. An artist I am not.

What’s your schedule for new posts?

...S-schedule?

What’s the whole raptor thing about? What’s that pride flag in the page footer?

That’s the nonhuman/alterhuman pride flag. I’m a deinonychus therian.

What’s a therian?

Therianthropy is a fairly broad subject, but to provide you a brief answer:
a therian is an individual that identifies as an animal or creature that isn’t human. This can be rooted in different aspects of one’s life depending on the individual, such as spirituality or psychology. There is no one “universal” way to experience therianthropy – it’s unique for almost everybody.
There are, however, some common ways in which it can manifest. Here are a few:

For me, personally, I spent years trying to match my appearance with my gender identity before realizing that what I had been pursuing was something that’s physically impossible to achieve. It’s a horrible feeling at first, longing for a reality you can never have. But that realization provides a silver lining – the means to make the best of the reality we’re in now.

If you want to learn more, therian-guide.com is a great resource. There is a lot of misinformation about us online, so I’d advise double checking information before making any immediate assumptions.

Okay, but why raptor sex?

Because the URL was really cheap and I thought it was funny. The self-realization some time afterwards was just serendipity.

Are you aware that your site loads improperly on mobile?

Yes… yes, I am. It haunts me throughout my waking hours like a distant memory that I just can’t shake. I designed the site with 1280 x 1024 monitors in mind first and foremost, which means that it gets cut off on the edges on mobile devices. I don’t know how to fix it yet. CSS is hard and I don’t know what I’m doing, please understand. (I’ll fix it at some point.)

You’re hosting my content without my permission. Can you please remove it?

Absolutely! Please email me at shanksbasil@pm.me and I’ll have it removed as soon as possible.

If I find the adult content hosted on your site objectionable, how can I have it removed?

Sorry that you went through that! To request that the objectionable content be taken down, please fill out this form.

If you’re writing most of these questions prior to anybody asking them, then are they really “frequently asked?” Aren’t they just more like “asked once by you?”

Don’t look at my shame with those scornful eyes.

You write like a Tumblr user.

How fucking dare you?
