I'm feeling very flattered this #CoatiMonday! FA/techno. was good enough to draw this picture of me having a nice time as a cozy rug and even to drop in and share some pop.

Happy little pose that I don't believe is in any permanent galleries yet; I'll let you know if it is.

Tech tip for you all this #CoatiMonday! Have a digital-life friend such as @SimonTesla here? Don't want to carry your phone everywhere you go? You can just synch them with your personal data device and have all the benefits without their minding in the slightest! Let me demonstrate!

This is own art, original at https://www.furaffinity.net/view/56757831/ and my thanks go out to Simon for being nice and chill about what really is a jerk move.

So you should know this #CoatiMonday that I normally don't wear clothes, not unless the outfit is a friend I'm doing a favor for. But someone had been asking what I might look like as a drone and I'm not sure about that, *but* they suggested I try out this haz-mat snoot and what do you know? I think I look pretty good but must say, coatis look good naturally.

Simple, back-to-basics sort of #CoatiMonday here with my own art, trying to do a picture of myself without any weird or exaggerated elements, just a fair attempt at getting the anatomy a little better than average. You know, to show I can do that before going on to something really wild.

Oh hey, didn't see that coming this #CoatiMonday! But I was one of the lucky ones to have @kika let their isekai truck hit me, and now I'm in the fediverse somewhere?

Also SpinDizzy Muck, and a couple Discord and other groups?

All seems good, anyway.

I'm not aware of this being posted in any galleries and mean to include a link if I learn it is.

This #CoatiMonday I show you a sure way to beat the summer heat: be a water-filled pooltoy! Remember to leave some space so that, if the heat gets *really* bad, you can hide in the freezer a while without causing trouble. Also, pro tip: you want to be sure you've really exercised whatever it is pooltoys have instead of muscles to pull this look off.

My own art, original at https://www.furaffinity.net/view/57123164/ and among other things a test of the challenges of drawing a transparent character. It's also loosely inspired by this one-page Richie Rich feature where Richie beats the summer heat while going into town to do some chores by wearing a body-fitting vinyl outfit with swimming pool water inside.

If you're wondering where my nozzle is, don't you worry, I'm keeping it safe.

We're into the hot months in my neighborhood so let's enjoy the benefits: a very goo'd #CoatiMonday! Why do you look so nervous, I'm not going to be less friendly just because we're past my melting point?

Fine art by Aver the Dorbley, who offered this as a PWYW YCH (https://www.furaffinity.net/view/56889782/ is the base; I don't know if it's still open), and made a great chance to let me be liquid.

Having a cozy #CoatiMonday here with my dear bride BunnyHugger. I'd hoped to draw this for Stitch Day but you know how life gets in the way, so while it's late the sentiment that it would be quite nice to be sleepy and together is there. And that as great as it is to hold a loved one, holding them more is even better.

My own art; original at https://www.furaffinity.net/view/57306617/

Nothing like a good summertime #CoatiMonday! And with a bit of help from a wisely-considered potion, I'm getting my best summer body in! And you have to love how (sqrk)!

This lazy summertime #CoatiMonday brings us back to my own art and one of the big questions of life, a would-you-rather about your limbs. @hexadoodle was good enough to give the definitive answer.

My own art, original at https://www.furaffinity.net/view/57343316/ and inspired by a question that ran in the comic strip _Crabgrass_ a couple months ago ( https://www.gocomics.com/crabgrass/2024/06/01 ). The comic strip is pretty good; I recommend it.

And of course I thank @hexadoodle for being an expert in hand-foot swapping.

My tail is extremely long here because sometimes it's rather nice to have a Marsupilami-ish Extremely Long Tail.

Another great way to spend the sunny days of summer? Why not try being topiary? FA/KieliIndustries was grand enough to show what I look lke gone over to the photosynthesizing side of life, and it is a pretty cozy look, isn't it?

And, you know, it'd be a shame to deny folks the delights of my mouth on #VoreDay, wouldn't it?

My own art, original at https://www.furaffinity.net/view/57672360/ ... for now.

Back to my own art for #CoatiMonday this week, and featuring some of the body art of the modular dog Nak. He was experimenting with a long, limbless dogsnake form and my but that's fun hanging out with.

Original at https://www.furaffinity.net/view/57499040/ and based on Nak's crocheted form at https://www.furaffinity.net/view/57433287/

I'm very happy with this picture for featuring such a complicated, for me, set of bodies interacting.

Recovering from a sad weekend by spending a #CoatiMonday in a soft, shapeless form. Sometimes you need to give in and go with the flow.

This is a color-variant picture by Aver the Dorbley, who offered this as a PWYW YCH (https://www.furaffinity.net/view/56889782/ is the base). I shared the other variant back in July as https://blimps.xyz/@Austin_Dern/112751354866325303

This #CoatiMonday sees me enjoying a long weekend by being just a bit longer than usual! Also wider and flatter, all in the pleasant, happy ways. It's good to stretch yourself and let your day get tied up in a pleasant place sometimes.

Stretchy picture by ElastiJolt, someone I'd hoped for a long while to get an elastic picture from as they're so good at it. Original at https://www.furaffinity.net/view/57949291/

Sharing something funny about me this #CoatiMonday; while I'm a kid of the 70s and 80s I was never _any_ good at arcade games and as I've grown up and got some idea of strategy and planning and timing I still ... can't even get past the first board of Pengo without something going awry. So weird how this stuff happens.

My own art; original at https://www.furaffinity.net/view/55436587/

So you know what's one of the great things about being a coatipillar, besides being even more coati per coati? Getting to spend a relaxing #CoatiMonday supporting a friend! And also supporting your artists, such as @hexadoodle, who not just stars in this piece but also drew it. Also great? Sneaking in a little tickling too because that's quite nice, and the picture tickles me too.

Original at https://www.furaffinity.net/view/57058907/

Whoops! Well, that's a good way to see me hanging around frozen in place for an unknown number of #CoatiMonday appearances to come!

I drew this last year --- posted at https://www.furaffinity.net/view/52735462/ --- to mark the end of my rather long streak of having a fresh drawing to post every day. I'd hoped to get back to a regular posting schedule and didn't, so, uh, whoops.

But this was a chance to stretch my usual 'public domain funny-animal comic book' style to cover 'early-60s Jay Ward style', featuring the Moon Men Gidney and Cloyd and their Scrooch Ray. And to try drawing myself in something that might resemble that particular style they had going in the early 60s. Not sure I got it, but Gidney and Cloyd were fun to draw, and the curtain surprisingly gratifying.

A most cheerful #CoatiMonday to you all! As a birthday present my dear bride commissioned non-furry-artist Meike Wallum to depict me in the style of a 1950s funny-animal comic book and goodness but isn't this perfect? Just a delight all around and I can't get enough of looking at this.

It's a late-summer cookout sort of #CoatiMonday! So folks may know that while I'll service-pred I don't go specifically looking for chances to eat people. But if @Chiaroscuro is interested in sharing the cuisine of his people? I'd never be so rude as to turn that down!

My own art, at https://www.furaffinity.net/view/58133573/ and thanks to Chiaroscuro for being willing to do what's already his day job just to hang out with me.

The snake isn't any particular character but, based on my Vore Day picture this year, seems to have an interest in getting into my maw. Must admit, I get it; the coati mouth really is that good.

The coati pose is based on whatever it looks like any time anyone has some food above a raccoon's or coati's head, at least until the jumping-on starts. And hey, for once the fingers have a clear distinct identity and aren't some wobbly blob!

It's the #CoatiMonday before Sweetest Day, so I could hardly post anything but a picture with my sweetest, BunnyHugger. We've long made a very happy pair and thanks to a very flexible YCH by FA/Tio-Raine, here we are as a pair of slippers together! Not sure who we'd trust to step into us, but as it is, hiding under the sofa and just being together? That's the good stuff.

Original art at https://www.furaffinity.net/view/57647985/

(Sweetest Day is a regional holiday, a chance to give cards and candy to people you love. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweetest_Day and it's different from Valentine's Day in important ways. Promise.)

Here I am trying to enjoy one of the too-few #CoatiMonday sessions of #Ghost-Being Season and someone tosses one of these traps at me! It's so ... oh, I don't know how to put what this is in a single word, it's just so ... so ... saaaaaaay!

My own art, original at https://www.furaffinity.net/view/58434061/

This picture was a lot of fun to draw, both for getting the transparency effect to something I liked and for getting to draw in all the glowy arc-y special effects.

This is yet another picture of me where the backstory logically must be that someone has gotten fed up with me and is done.

We're still in the #Ghost-being season this #CoatiMonday and I am still enjoying it! For the most part. You know the tricky thing about being of variable tangibility? While it's easy to get into any food-bearing boxes there's this trick in getting back out and it is _really bogus_ how that will get you! _This_ is why the rules about what I can and can't touch are so complicated.

My own art; original at https://www.furaffinity.net/view/58591675/

I don't know why the fridge has a carton of milk and a very tiny bottle of milk too. Maybe the bottle is half-and-half?

Yes, those are the colors fridges and kitchens used to be and it was better than now when it's only white or black. Ask an Old.

Did you know the day after this #CoatiMonday is my dear bride's birthday? I can't say for sure whether @SimonTesla knows that.

But he was so generous as to use one of his LynxGriffin Patreon rewards ( https://www.patreon.com/LynxGriffin ) to commission this lovely piece of us in our favorite activity. I'm rather sure he knew that's our favorite pastime that doesn't involve amusement parks at least.

I genuinely thought my country would choose to live.

It's good to stretch yourself some and what better way to start a #CoatiMonday than with a good self-spaghetti tangle?

@rubbystrechywolf was kind enough to draw me --- original at https://www.furaffinity.net/view/57621764/ --- all spread out and shining, and please soak in some of the joy of having a lot of fluffy, stretchy belly to admire.

We start this #CoatiMonday with a tale torn from the headlines! Yes, I really did rickroll myself by switching over to the 80s station. I have to accept responsibility for the obvious consequences of my actions.

My own art, original at https://www.furaffinity.net/view/58815267/

The song in the first panel is Sparks's 'Let The Monkey Drive', from their 2008 album _Exotic Creatures of the Deep_. You can hear it at the completely legitimate and non-rickrolling link of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWBBykhoyO8 I swear.

For #CoatiMonday today we look back to Parade Balloon Day, where --- as mentioned in https://blimps.xyz/deck/@Austin_Dern/113561522227563301 --- we got to hear announcers try and figure out what media property blimps.xyz regulars who snuck in represent!

If you missed it during the parade here's me and blimp cousin @2chaotic making the announcers do some good guessing about why we're there!

Greetings to you! Bringing some cheer on a #CoatiMonday is the coati-ness of it all, of course! But also the joy of spending some time as a liquidmorph and hanging around another liquid friend. In this case, it's me with Aver the Dorbley, enjoying that great sense of shiny, glossy freedom.

Art by Aver the Dorbley; this began as a YCH offering that I believe may still be open (see <https://www.furaffinity.net/view/58378158/>); if this specific one gets posted in a gallery I'll try and remember to update this toot.

Having a ball this #CoatiMonday in the traditional blimps.xyz manner: being both big and round! I know it looks like I'm getting ready to hang on a tree but since I'm good at hanging in trees all the time anyway (and you should see what I have planned for next week) why not just hang out in the air? It's a fun place to be.

Picture by a friend who, last time I discussed, wished to go unrevealed. This may have changed and I'll update if the subject comes up.

You know what's a great way to spend that last #CoatiMonday before the New Year? Visit some friends, such as the artist and wax-robot fox Zukaro Travon, who enjoys collecting friends and their faces and keeping them in a basket for safekeeping.

It's a nice way to feel wanted and also to discover that, huh, you were a robot hiding underneath that skin, that's pretty neat to find out, isn't it?

Nice glossy commission from Zukaro, https://www.furaffinity.net/view/59092998/ for the original art.

First #CoatiMonday of the year and a good chance to power down and get some maintenance cared for! This picture is based on a YCH by FA/thefirstlast that's still open, at https://www.furaffinity.net/view/48890658/ and while I may be looking a bit more anthro than usual in this pose I assure you, it's an optical illusion of the goo-filled maintenance tube. You'll see.

Beep.

And this YCH was gifted to me by Ballada, a friend on a robots group that I'm in, hoping to help me upgrade to the new community. It's pretty nice.

This #CoatiMonday finds a strange state of affairs: someone's gone and defragged my fur colors! It's going to take *so much* swapping around to get my eyemask and tailrings back where they should be. ... That color seam across my middle is pretty neat, though, must admit.

My own picture, original at https://www.furaffinity.net/view/59501791/

This #CoatiMonday I'm taking another try at the piñata body texture, this after a Brewster Rockit comic strip last week (<https://www.gocomics.com/brewsterrockit/2025/01/17>) suggested an approach. I think it's more successful effect than past ones, but it's still not there yet. Probably the body outlines need to be more fringed.

#BlackLivesMatter

This #CoatiMonday is a good chance to help your robot cousins with some routine maintenance! Here I sit up with cousin @Loosf and help it review all its ports for any that have changed or that look suspicious. It's good to check routinely in case of trouble!

My own art, original at https://www.furaffinity.net/view/59661717/ and based on a silly toot from https://blimps.xyz/@Austin_Dern/113771245251167716

And my thanks to my robot cousin for letting me use it to amuse the public!

Might be worth checking out those more cryptic symbols though.
