Hello Papabear,

I am a new furry with no fursona, and my brother hates furries, so i dont know if I should keep going furry. My sister thinks furries are weird, and I don't know how my mom would react. Please help!

Hi, Dirk,

This all depends on how important being furry is to you and why you should care what your brother, sister, or mother think about furries. If being a furry is just a passing interest to you, and you don't care about it that much, then you might want to pursue some other interests just to avoid the subject all together.

If, however, you LOVE being a furry and have a great time doing furry things, then why do you need your family's approval? Well, probably you fear being teased by your sister and brother, for one thing. But, actually, that is what brothers and sisters often do: tease each other. It's called sibling rivalry, so if it wasn't furries it would probably be something else they would tease you about.

As for your mom, you say yourself you don't know how she'll react. So, she might be fine with it. Many adults don't understand what furry is, so you need to explain it in terms they won't find strange. One way to do that is to tell them simply that you like cartoon animals, such as what you often see in Disney and Warner Bros. cartoons--Bugs Bunny, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck are all anthropomorphic animals and are all culturally acceptable. Then explain to her that there are a lot of people out there who like creating their own talking animal characters, and they are called furries. That's really all she needs to hear about, if she cares at all. 

The other thing to do is not make a big deal about it. Parents pick up on their children's attitudes, so if you act nervous or ashamed about being a furry, the first thing your mom with think is, "Why is my son so ashamed of this? Is there something shameful I should know about?" Then, like many others, she'll go on the Internet, and you probably know what she will find there.

There are many positive role models in the fandom, including friends of mine such as Tycho Aussie and Dogbomb. Furries do a lot for charities, especially for causes that help animal and children's charities. But mostly furries just have fun. Oh, and they don't all wear costumes. Only about 1 in 5 furries owns a fursuit, and not all furries have fursonas, either. It all depends on how immersed you wish to be in the furry world.

Basically, my advice to you is don't make a big deal about it; if you don't see it as a big deal, others won't either. 

Stay Furry, Dirk!

So I've been expressing myself a lot around my friends my house and at school I've never been for happy in my life because for the first time I'm just myself. However I am a furry and my friends know but recently I talked to my dad about what I can do to express my self and be different when it go skiing and paint balling an do other sport activities, my dad mentioned something I could wear and my first thought was FOX TAIL because it's something I can wear and it really is me, he thought it was silly but he was a nice guy and just went along with it. My mom found out about me wanting and trying to get a custom tail for myself and first thing she said to me was not happening in my household. So a couple days later she comes up and asks me what I'm thinking about and I said nothing you won't like what I'm thinking about then she managed to get It out of me and I finally said I'm thinking about where I can get my tail, we'll she just absolutely blew up at me saying all kinds of nasty things she called me a gay boy that all the boys will want because of that pink fuzzy tail the Started to talk about how big of a dick loving fag I am (15/M/bi) they don't know that I'm bi but after o long fight about me just being me and having fun turned into animal obsessions and beastiality all over me getting a tail. My mom then packed a bag with my brother and have it ready just incase I wanna ruin my family's reputation. Then my brother who's 17 said if you get a tail I'm beating the shit out of you and moving out.... Please help I can't stand not being myself any longer but the crazy thing is I want a tail to do random sport activities and express myself when I wear it, they don't know I'm a furry yet and I'm affraid what will happen if they find out, but I got a dad that's nice about it but my moms word over his so I'm ready to go into goverment care in a second HELP HELP HELP I NEED HELP

Would any of you like to join me on a server called civcraft? The idea behind this server is that there are no rules (other than no hacking). However, instead if rules, players enforce their own laws via prison pearl (if you kill someone while holding a pearl, they become trapped in that pearl). The map is going on year 3 now, cities are everywhere with legitimate confilct as well as governments, currency, etc. I have been playing on this server for 3 years now and I still find it entertaining. If you are going to play, please let me know so that I can help you find your way to the city I live in. There is a mumble that the entire server uses for communication, so if you plan on playing civcraft download mumble. We could have a furry city/ community!

The server subreddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/Civcraft

Edit:

I live in the nation of fellowship. I have a good reputation and lots of money (1750+ diamonds), so I can set up anyone who wishes to play.

Author: Hello Papabear, It’s been several months since we last associated with each other from here. The question here is about how hopeless I’ve felt about the fandom, most of my family, and my social life altogether since birth. Unfortunately, this is partly in innate due to a certain condition that I’m incredibly ashamed to […]

Bringing it all around home again, Marvel Comics have announced a new tie-in comic book series based on the animated TV series based on the hit movie based on the comic book: Guardians of the Galaxy. Star Lord and his companions (and we know which two companions you’re watching the closest!) are back in a new 4-issue full-color miniseries. Interestingly, they actually tell us ahead of time that the artwork is primarily screen-captures from the upcoming animated series on Disney XD. Now if only they’d tell us more precisely when the new TV series will premier! Anyway, the comic book miniseries begins in February, adapted by Joe Caramagna. Read an interview with him over at the Marvel site.  “Oh… yeah…”

So my friend is about to start doing commissions and he seems pretty despaired about the worth of what he does. I am attempting to encourage him about his work and that its worth more than some of the people are telling him. Whats an average amount you guys have ever paid for a commissions?

Commissioners out there how much you usually charge?
