@LexYeen I want to say something reflexively snarky and self-deprecating, but honestly, Peg and I pretty much live our character kayfabe 24/7 and it's an absolutely vital relationship tool that really helps keep us both sane.
I feel like one of postfurry's enduring lessons that I brought into real life is that you can put ANYTHING AT ALL THAT YOU LIKE in your gender and species boxes, maintain it in your social relations with people who Get It, and it JUST DOESN'T HURT ANYTHING.
I'm not a tiger but I play one in real life-- because RL is really just another game that humans play, and it never really bore that much resemblance to physical reality to start with.
