Hello /r/furry!

I'm here for almost two years, and I never made an introduction post. So I'm going to do that now. Lets do this!

I'm Zooty, a 24 years old college student from Hungary, and I'm really happy to be here, in the most awesome fandom ever created.
I don't even know how and when I did first saw any furry content, but I always liked the idea of it. The more content I met, the more I digged myself into the fandom. I remember I found this sub through /r/foxes. There, on the sidebar they mentioned /r/furry, and I checked it. From that point, there was no return. Now I got stuck here..
I don't have much friend, so I'm looking forward to meet any of you! :)

Zooty is a red fox. He is a young, shy folk, but after he accepts you, and you gain his trust, he is the most friendly and helpful person ever! he likes nature, likes archery, and likes exploring new stuff..

If you want to know anything else about me, feel free to ask in the comments.

It was at a convention, talking about comics that a friend of mine suddenly declared to some dismay, “Wow, there’s probably furries now who didn’t start out by reading Associated Student Bodies”. It was funny at the time but since then I’ve heard a few people echoing the sentiment. It made me wonder if with the constant influx of new and younger furs if the things we held dear are even still relevant? It’s the way it should be and new ideas, books and shows are the lifeblood of any community to keep it thriving. Everyone has their own story of how they discovered and engaged with the fandom. For myself after finally stumbling upon the fandom and discovering that this strange collection of interests had a name, Associated Student Bodies was one of my first experiences of anthropomorphic fiction that wasn’t connected to a TV show or a movie. The college based coming of age story told from the point of view of Daniel, a young lion away from home for the first time and discovering himself and reconciling his faith with his sexuality. In the early days and the rush of finding this new community it felt thrilling, exciting and deliciously naughty to read. I’d be the first to admit that it seems innocently and oddly quaint by today’s standards as well as indulging in a lot of tropes. It’s a little dated and my fondness for it stems from mostly nostalgic reasons and it doesn’t help that is once again out of print.

 

Leo Magna’s Furpilled and recently the more launched Perception feel like the natural, modern successors to Associated Student Bodies and definitely present a more updated take on the slice of life style it was famous for. Furpilled itself was completed and is a few years old by now but despite winning a few awards, I feel like it didn’t get the attention it deserved at the time and that Magna isn’t as well know as he should be. His comics almost always centre around LGB relationships with Furpilled following the escapades of a group of such friends, revolving around Arthur Husky and his burgeoning relationship with the mysterious Saetto. Through five volumes Magna charts the ups and downs of LGB life in California and while other works featuring a lot of the cliches that come with the genre would have put me off, it’s his strong grasp of characters and their motivations that takes them beyond this, slowly revealing the casts deep and rich inner lives.

His latest comic Perception is once again concerned with LGB relationships, but whereas Furpilled starred a group of out and proud character’s, Perception is the opposite. Joe is a frat boy, in deep turmoil over his sexuality and constantly on edge over being discovered by his homophobic, hyper masculine fraternity brothers. Both comics have LGB lives at their core, while approaching them from two completely different perspectives. While it’s not as instantly likable as Furpiled ,perhaps because of it’s uncomfortable subject matter and so far dislikable frat boy cast, it is showing itself to be a little more broad and complex. Dealing more overtly with the homophobia still experienced by many even now, it already feels like it’s the perfect companion piece and thematic sequel to his Furpilled run.

Since writing this Leo has restarted Furpilled and did a wonderful interview with me . It’s still free to read in it’s entirety online or available in five volumes from SofaWolf Press. The print versions to lose points for not reprinting a colour element on one page of the comic, taking away lot of it’s impact. Trust me you’ll know it when you see it. Perception is being funded exclusively through Magna’s Patreon site from as a little as $1 per month.

Today's slightly annoying question:

What is your sonas biggest peeve?

Edit: I just realized I haven't thanked the mods for pinning in a while, thanks mods!

Hi everyone! Ok, so my situation is simple: I'm in the middle of a giant furry winter party. I'm asocial as hell but I want to talk to furries and would feel way better about talking if I had a strategy for making conversation. Anyone got any tips or advice or conversation starters(furry or non-furry is alright)? Really sorry. Thanks!

You can only use it once but the effect is reversible. It can do anything you want it to do without consequences. What does it do?

Edit: You cannot say yiff or be your fursona. That's a given for a lot of us. What would you/your fursona do?

Update: RIP inbox. Also stickied. Thanks!

I find this to be really amusing. It'll be an interesting con for those going. Unfortunately, I am not one of those going, as I live up in Portland, OR. No where near the con.

Here's a thread talking about it on the smash bros subreddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/3nt3vd/til_that_genesis_3_and_furcon_2016_are_taking/

Extra fun facts. Smash bros melee (and project m) are incredibly competitive and deep. Here's a gif showing a regular approach with fox. https://gfycat.com/OptimisticJealousIndianrhinoceros
