Okay thanks to @typhlosion I'm now referring to the Cyndaquil line as "camp stove badger".
::cups ear::
@typhlosion @indi ...okay "camp stove badger" is a beautiful description :D
@Nire I've tried to follow the new acct twice now but I keep getting "oops something didn't work" :/
@typhlosion unrelated to anything I picked the cyndaquil as my starter in heart gold which was the first pokemon game I ever played. I named him Rainier and loved him.
@shoofle @starryblush@witches.town @typhlosion Seeing how people live those things is also important for seeing the diversity in what being That can mean in practice. The dominant narratives make it seem like it's 100% That Thing in all ways all the time, but nobody ever is.
@typhlosion @starryblush@witches.town @shoofle As far as identity stuff goes the best advice I have is to surround yourself with people who share the things that you feel might be resonant but you're not Enough of. Having possibility models --seeing that these things are actually things people can be -- is crucial.
@starryblush@witches.town @typhlosion @shoofle ...you just said what I was trying to compose, but better <3
@typhlosion In the dream there was this dog or fox girl imprisoned in an iron cage and i had to ~save her~??

(re: furry crushes, I can't be assed to go find the OP)
I hadn't replied because I couldn't think of anything before actually becoming furry-adjacent, but then today I remembered a /really/ early dream involving ~strange feelings~ based on some animated movie with a fox I'd just seen. (The Fox and the Hound? Maybe??)
@literorrery @shoofle @typhlosion The big think I'd suggest is fewer allusions.
@shoofle @typhlosion Reasonable. I think framing it as a Defined Community in the first place was a mistake but somehow that's what happened :/
(The trends that lead to that were long before my time, to be clear.)
@andyAstruc Congratulations, your fursona is "cuttlefish" :)
(for real though I actually kind of hate this dichotomy. Let's please not undervalue conversation that isn't Going Hard For Maximum Serious?)
@typhlosion @shoofle It really is :/
This essay is a lot easier http://www.adjectivespecies.com/2015/06/17/on-postfurry/
@starryblush@witches.town @fae@witches.town @shoofle IME its single favorite response is "ahah fuck you, your premises or framing of the question are wrong. Go chew on some this enigmatic shit which will later be worryingly vindicated".
