I made a fursona a few years back, as a joke. Since then, I have occasionally introduced myself as a furry, just to see how people react. But am I
really a furry? Does there still remain some thin veneer of irony separating me from
true furries, as a Victorian-era explorer living among natives is separated from the
noble savages by his self-righteous sense of superiority? Clearly, it is time to dive deeper into this anthropomorphic rabbit hole, but I cannot do it alone. In the interest of
SCIENCE and
FUN, I invite EVERYONE to become a furry. Create yourself a fursona. Pour your soul into a half-animal avatar of yourself, like a weblich crafting an anthropomorphic phylactery. Invent a neon-coloured wolf-man with a tragic backstory and
tell us all about it.To start with, this is my
fur chitinsona:
He is a weaver ant and this is him being
completely overwhelmed with the joy of being a furry. Chitiny. Whatever. He lives in a giant tower of silk and wood with thousands of other weaver ant people, and his ultimate goal in life is to serve the Hive in whatever manner best benefits it.
I also have a pending promise to draw three people's fursonas if they give me an animal to start with. The submissions I got were "snails", "star nosed mole" and "neanderthals". While trying to figure out what a half-human half-neanderthal would look like might be an interesting paleobiological exercise, I don't think they
count, so we've still got one open. Furthermore, to celebrate this BRAVE NEW THREAD I'm going to do two more in addition to the one for a grand total of THREE STILL TO GO! Tell me your favourite animal, and don't be afraid to invent new animals or combine existing animals into horrifying chimeras. Also feel free to provide some more detailed physical description. I'll do my best to follow your capricious instructions.
For the COMPLETE EXPERIENCE, you should also provide a name, a personality, a backstory and so on. List some "likes" and "dislikes". Hell, make it a whole SETTING, with with detailed notes on various cultures and locations. Whatever detail you feel like going into.
Once I'm no longer
contractually obligated to draw people furries, I'll probably keep doing it at least sometimes. Especially if you describe yours really well. Everyone else is also invited to draw pictures of fursonas posted here, their own or other people's, as long as they keep in mind that the
Forum Guidelines aren't really
guidelines as much as they are absolute, inviolate
rules. If you do something
foolish, the next DF release is postponed by the amount of time it takes Toady One to deal with it.
With that in mind, let's discover our inner furries!
