5) I uh don’t have one fursona but several, and none of them are actually a coyote or an otter. Current roster is a heraldic unicorn of sorts of sorts who is sometimes also a fennec or a dolphin, and a very naive wolf.

4) my first fursona was a wolf (I’d been told foxes had a rep of putting out, remember i was a total prude) with one differently colored paw (reflecting my nearly missing hand).

3) the best things about the fandom are; it’s not tied to any one show or movie, it’s a space for a lot of small artists/artisans and really committed hobbyists, and it’s always changing! This is as true now as back in the 90s.

2) at the time I was really nuts about fox anything and searched for fox pictures which got a fair amount of furry stuff. But I was also real prudish at the time, and nearly all clean art of anthro foxes was by my buddy Robin - and that mentioned FurryMUCK so I explored that!

1) I’ve been in furry since 1995. (promptly ages centuries in seconds screaming “what have you done to me” like at the end of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. The kids love that movie right?)

OHHH YEAH let’s start the year with providing possibly TMI to Internet folks, here’s a meme about furry fandom swiped from online friends!

Callout for the dramatic “Burning Homestead” sequence from Ep IV; “we get it, you vape!”

Ooorgh okay the pills work pretty good but they are not quite “Jon ate wings, a couple mozzarella sticks, and six slices of pizza” good. This is not the pills’ fault.

Achievement unlocked, greeting the new year in (partial) fursuit!

French werewolves, they’re like werewolves here except more buttery. No, even more butter!

The transformation folds flour into their bodies hence the name roux-garou

#drawing today, thinking about a fennec fox ‘sona?

THAT SONG WHERE THEY YELL HEY! A LOT

getting psyched for this roadtrip by playing the Combat Drop music from Aliens.

Coming around for a 049. Where's the damn beacon? Oh. I see it.

it's my sincere hope that typing up a huge long post about where I'm not really happy about my fellow leftists, then going naw, saying it won't do anything other'n maybe anger people and deleting it, is actually cathartic and relieves the desire to say it.

gonna say it again; Twitter allows you to make short witty comments, share photos, and stay in touch with friends elsewhere, which is a hugely solid product and which they are constantly trying to up sell. It's like if Coke's marketing focused on how you can use Coke to make red velvet cake, degrease engines, and how they have a corporate booth at football games, etc, everything aside from how you can actually drink Coke.

So I suddenly realized what's up with the Battle of Helm's Deep in the Jackson films. It's a WWI analogy! PJ's interested enough in (especially the NZ experience) of that war that he actually treats the whole thing relatively seriously. If Gondor, seat of empire, is the Britain analogy then logically the allies Gondor denigrates yet desperately needs would be Australia and New Zealand. And "highly mobile cavalry plus people really to young to be in a war trapped in one defensive position" is definitely the ANZAC experience of WWI. Helm's Deep resonates more with PJ than the triumphant chaos of the Pelennor Fields.

Just one #drawing today, Scythian styled armored cavalryman literally collides with a brutish northern ogre or giant. I really wanted to try drawing a Thracian styled helmet but was more interested in scale armor.

following up the "Riders of Doom" part of "Conan the Barbarian" with quoting the Lakota chief part of "Blazing Saddles."
