"Haha yeah I'm a writer! I write about... anthropomorphism! And identity exploration! Like, yknow, primal urges and stuff! You can't find it anywhere because... I'm unpublished! I would show you but, you know, I don't really have anything on me and hey what did you say you did again?"
I am just now starting to get into NSFW art and not a moment goes by where I go "What are you gonna say when your folks or in-laws somehow find this?"
I... I don't have an answer for that yet...
I don't show my folks much and they don't ask but... I do occasionally talk about my art at work and I'm 99% sure they'd be cool with it but YALL it's NSFW for a reason I can't show you nothing juicy if I wanted!
Me, trying to convince my family members that my random middle grade reader from 2017 is still getting sales so I don't have to explain I write transformation porn
My family doesn't ask and doesn't care but my mom wants to see everything, and I always tell her: here's my tablet, but if you click on nsfw, it will be nsfw.
She 5min later: Uh. Oh. But those are cute boys. Oh and I always knew you like the ladies too!
This is the most painfully accurate post I have ever seen. "Oh! Show me where you post things!" "Uh...I don't have internet right now." *jumps out a window*
my aunt a few days ago asked me how clients find me and i replied “yknow… the internet” in the vaguest possible way and i could see that she was VERY puzzled
and you know what’s crazy? when you come into my studio/room you have a clear view of whatever i’m doing and there’s usually someone naked on my screens, so my family either terrible eyesight or is pretty aware and graces me by not mentioning it
The struggle is SO real 💀💀 my mother candidly asked me once “are you ever going to do art I can show your grandparents” and I shook my head like girl ,,, bffr
Your family knows, they’re just polite enough to not bring it up. If other family’s can talk about the uncle who’s past you don’t bring up, they’re gonna be fine with the nephew who draws lewd things for money.

Plus, my family are particularly judgemental, nosy, and prone to jamming opinions where they’re not wanted.
