Please let me know here what you want please.

Edit: it seems that fox is a good one but do you thing feral or anthro be better?

I've been pondering today that thought maybe having 3 or 4 characters standing or something together, a canine, feline, reptile and something else. Idk I'd like to get an opinion on the matter that isn't buried in hate.

One character would look less cluttered, I just need to know what.

Thanks x3

This Picture

I found it on iFunny and tried to move around my devices so I could reverse Google search it, but it was to no avail. If anyone could help it would be appreciated!

The more I think about it, there's one thing I really love about the furry fandom, that I think a lot of other fandoms have lost sight of, to some extent.

And that is- the acceptance of originality, and original characters. You see, in mainstream sci-fi and fantasy fandom, conventions used to be dominated by original creations. (I'm talking about the 70's and 80's) We weren't as spoiled for choice in terms of visual media then- video games and home video either weren't a thing or were in their infancy. So people let their imaginations run wild, coming up with costumes that were either their original takes on literary characters, or completely original creations. Some of these had backstory, others not so much. But originality was celebrated.

Sadly mainstream geekery is losing that. I have been told that cosplaying an original character is a waste of time, that nobody will look at me or take my picture, because all they care about is THEIR specific video game or anime, and won't look at anything else. I've been told that original characters should be barred from costume contests, because they can't be judged for accuracy. So I guess the hours spent working on something, finishing seams most people won't look at, learning new skills to make something come alive, learning to modify sewing patterns or make new ones, none of that counts. Judges can't really evaluate that, instead all they can do is look at you, look at a screen capture of your character, and if you match, you win.

I understand that when telling your story on a con floor, you have to keep it short and concise. But apparently "nobody wants to hear that", even if they're the one who came up and asked "Who are you? Do I lose geek points for not recognizing you?"

And sadly, mainstream mindsets about body shaming have entered the fandom, with people bitching endlessly if somebody isn't the same body type or race as their character, saying that you pretty much have to look JUST LIKE them in order to cosplay, or the character is ruined.

But from what I'm seeing, the furry fandom seems to have so far avoided falling into that snake pit- despite more and more anthro characters showing up in movies, games, etc, I don't see original characters and concepts being pushed aside or marginalized in favor of recreation-based costuming or roleplay. Perhaps this love and acceptance of originality is something that the mainstream geek community needs to re-learn.

(About the costume contests- I can understand why really theme-specific events, such as Anime, Star Wars, or Steampunk cons would ask costume entries to stick to their theme, but a general sci-fi or geek con banning originals from competing would be completely ridiculous IMHO)

I feel like if we just get a better banner it won't look so out of place. Maybe we can even get a tiger somewhere near the fox.
