Evageeks is a story about repetition

Yeah. You read right. This is for everything that doesn't have anything to do with Eva.

Yo, Gatotsu. Nice to see you've returned. I think we hotly debated subs over dubs a few times. My approach to narrative art and its industry since then has been very fast and loose, to the point where it's more of a flowing river than an unwavering foundation. Trying to stay artistically active will do that to an individual, I guess. Glad you found us worthy of a revisit.

I've never been a part of these Skype groups because of reasons mostly built upon laziness, busyness, and/or just plain forgetfulness. Actually, if anyone wants to drop me a PM about one, I'm totally game.

Not being dogmatically tied to a single aesthetic system or approach seems like just good intellectual practice to me in general, yeah

You also have to be invited into them. Which means that being disliked by enough of the members = no admission.

^ True. I've never done any of the forum chats or anything like that either. And I'm too old for high-school click groups. Maybe I was right all along and simply can't find the appeal anymore.

Dragon dildos are a subcategory of zoomorphic (animal-shape) sex toy, created specifically to cater to the furry crowd. Of course, no one actually knows what a dragon's genitalia look like, but apparently there exists enough demand that a wide variety of dragon-themed options have emerged regardless. Because they are intended for human use, these dildos tend not to come in orifice-rupturing proportions. (...Though, at one point there was a life-size equine dildo you could own for the very affordable price of $120... But who in their right mind would actually use a gel dildo, regardless of size? Silicone is where it's at.)

You're welcome.


Oh, but the bolded part is easy to answer. Dragons are generally considered to be reptilian monsters, so it would stand to reason that their genitialia would be similar to that of reptiles, and fortunately Wikipedia has quite a good explanation of that. In the case of water dragons, depending on their physique, they may be either closely related to snakes, or to amphibians (reproduction here). Of course, the furry fandom has never really bothered with scientific accuracy, usually depicting avarian furries (gah, the biological contradiction!) with human penis and vagina instead of the proper stuff, mostly showing that like many hentai artists, the furry artists probably didn't pay enough attention in school when these things were explained to their virgin selves, and it's likely that this same problem will extend to actual reptilian dragon penises (i.e. one, or two?).

As for excessively large members, nothing can likely top Godzilla's atomic man-weapon. Some entrepreneur fan artist likely has depicted this already, and perhaps may also have explored the sexuality of giant kaiju in detail, but if it's anything less than Shinkansen-sized, I'll be disappointed.

Freaky: IRC has been pretty good to me. The main EGF chan is basically dead, but there's a splinter group which is quite lively and contains a number of people who no longer (or VERY infrequently) post. It's also where I really got to know the guy I'd end up living with. :nyao: Not going to publicly post this chan's name here, but it's easy enough to find if you show up in #egf and ask the right questions.

Shamsiel-kun: As you say, the furry fandom tends not to care about biological accuracy. (Until you get to the hardcore zoophiles, and the less said about them the better...) So at least some of the "dragon-themed" dildos out there are just "take dick of mammalian carnivore and add a bunch of ridges to it". Thankfully, I'm not an authority on the matter and can't say offhand whether any exist that are properly reptilian. :tongue:

That's amusing, given that the average age of the chats I'm in is older than you by a fair margin. ;)

And Reichu, nothing's stopping you from making your own Skype group. The point of the app is to talk to people you wanna talk to, not about forming clubs or whatever. It's just a medium.

The original still exists, no, no one does that any of that shit these days either as things have changed a lot since that incarnation, but don't think to lay blame solely on that chat when you had your own contributions, that said, what's talked about on Skype stays on Skype as Tines would say. I don't really have any beef with you and I enjoyed the discussions that were had with you.

Came to EvaGeeks for the fanwank, stayed for the dragon dildos.

Forums have slowed down a lot largely due to real life reasons. We also had a couple of nasty flame wars that polarized the user-base along political grounds that lead to a good deal of discontent which lead to people deliberately antagonizing each other which led to a large number of bans. Most of the old guard doesn't come around too much anymore leaving newer members to keep the place going.

I'm not going to touch all the Skype group speculation. People will believe what they want to believe.

Hence the laziness/business/forgetfulness mentioned in my last post. I guess if I were to form a Skype group, it would be to debate or discuss something specific about the show. That could be fun.

Bumping a month old thread to set the record straight. It wasn't an apology it had nothing to do with insulting Xard's waifu, it was simply because I foolishly joked that if someone gave me a link to the site to buy one, I'd buy one. Xard provided the link and I am nothing if not a man of my word, so I purchased one.
