I honestly don't know where else to turn.. I thought about r/confessions but I did not want to be ridiculed in the first place.

I have been with my current girlfriend for almost a year. We have had some really rough times and some hiccups. Through all of this I have grown really close to her.

I love her, I really do, but some of the things she has said before have hurt me. One time we were in an argument and she told me "the whole furry thing is weird".

It hit me, and it really hit me hard that she will never be a furry or anything close to it, and she will never understand it..she really hasn't made an effort to either. Just today she told me "It makes me uncomfortable, yeah" ''I find it strange". "Fur suits are terrifying.."

I'm not really sure if I should honestly stay in the relationship or not. One side of me loves her and It's honestly been so long with her that I don't know what would happen if i truly lost her. She makes me happy and I really do enjoy my time with her.

The other side of me reminds me that I will never know what It feels like to to a 'con with her. I'll never know what its like to discuss a new furry artist, or show her how happy my first badge makes me. I'll never have any pictures with her with us suited up, or even partials. It's become a big part of my life, and honestly I've barely touched the surface of the fandom..what's gonna happen when it becomes a good portion of my life? [Right now I have no furry friends, have never been to a 'con, have no tail or even a partial. Not even a badge :( ] I've been struggling with who I am lately and I can't escape the fact that this is part of who I am and what I want to do/be. and I want someone with me that understands it fully, and someone who I can share those moments with.

I'm worried that if i do proceed and stay with her and that if we do get married, it will create a divide between us. That over time, she will start to care for me less and less because I'm becoming something that she doesn't want any part of. She already think's its weird and lacks understanding of it (I've tried to explain it several times). What's going to happen when she sees me dropping $1,000+ on my first suit, or going on a work vacation just to go to my first con? The first time she caught me looking at yiff she got really upset with me and told me that its bestiality and its extremely weird...stuff like that.

These are some of the things that I'm having trouble dealing with. Am I being unreasonable? I know in a relationship its all about compromise..am I not compromising here by wanting something different?

Any advice guys/gal's?

I highly appreciate anything in advance.

I hate to do this, but this (NSFW inside) is how our current conversation goes. Name blocked for obvious reasons.

This shark loves you, just wanted to remind you all. <3

Edit: Does anyone else see the bullshit going on at the bottom of the thread?

Edit2: You know. I prefer to be nice and affectionate, but some people just have to start shit, and then they're surprised when I cuss them out and send them home with their tail between their legs.

I know that my first con was absolutely bonkers. I'm curious about what crazy shit went on at other people's con experiences.

When I went to FC 2013, I was there for four days and I maybe slept a combined total of 15-20 hours, and that's being pretty generous. It was so much fun. The feeling of being surrounded by people who are into the same weird shit as you and to have it all be normal for a while is indescribable. I actually cried on the tram ride to the airport the day I had to leave.

In that long weekend I got to watch the chaos unfold in the streets as hundreds of furries intermingled with the notorious amount of crazy homeless people of San Jose, all the green card carrying stoners from the Hempcon that was going on next door, and the women's volleyball team staying in the same hotel as the FC attendees.

I won't go into every little nutty thing that happened unless you guys ask me to, but one particular experience that stuck with me was when I went dancing with fursuiters on shrooms and vodka, and wound up kissing a man for the first time. (I'm functionally straight by the way) It actually wasn't so bad! So tell me, what's the wildest thing that happened to you at con?

Hey furfriends!

I go by Lotix on Furaffinity! http://furaffinity.net/user/lotix You guys can call me Dani or Loti I have also posted proof of myself on Twitter~ https://twitter.com/XitollotiX

Since all my references are on lock down, I can't exactly work on commissions. I still feel like doing SOMETHING and wanted to offer free SFW busts for you guys.

Here are examples of what I'll be offering: http://puu.sh/cg15J/0c4f29f41a.jpg http://puu.sh/cg1o6/4aedfe2f62.jpg http://puu.sh/cg1tl/a514c2037d.jpg

You will have permission to edit these/color them/use them as icons but if you ever post them, crediting would be required, preferably by link! But for now since FA is down, even just spreading my name to your friends would be fine in the mean time! :)

If anyone wants to help me in this blank time and make any donations, please note me privately and we can discuss it <33

Another option at this time if you'd like to help me out but yet want something more complete, I'd be willing to take a few chibi commissions @ 20.00 USD a pop. This is a tad more than my normal prices but I want to try making up for the last three days of no work, so please be understanding, you would be supporting an artist in need! ;W;<33

examples: http://i.imgur.com/BpLLp8w.png http://i.imgur.com/rKlVFdY.png http://i.imgur.com/ZdwPyjLl.png

Please note me if interested!

Now for the free sketchy busts, just post your references below! You are welcome to post more than one character but then I'll pick and choose whom I'd love to draw more :3 Options are nice and help me be creative!! If you have any questions, im always open and up to answering them, thank you!! <3

So I participated in DKSprinkles' Iron Artist event on FurAffinity, and the day before FurAffinity went down for the DDOS, he had told me my commission (a picture of me and my mate together) was almost has done. But FurAffinity has been down all week, and I was wondering...

Does anyone else know how to contact the furry artist DJSprinkles? Maybe he has a Reddit account here? If someone could help me contact him, I would greatly appreciate it.

Secondary: My first post on r/furry! _^ Not my first comment though.

Here is a nice piece about discrimination.

<bender> Fine! I’m going to make my OWN club! </bender>

I thought this came out pretty well, but I haven't gotten any feedback on it, so I was hoping I could get some here :D

We're going into Day 3 of our DDOS. As of tonight, FA will be approaching the 72 hour mark of the DDOS. A lot of questions has come up, so I'd like to try to answer them as best I can.

The current status on FA is that we're waiting on our host to give the all clear. Once we get that, FA will go back up with minimal services while we make some changes and tweaks (changing IPs and moving some of our services around).

If you have questions/comments regarding the DDOS I'll be answering them over the course of the day. I'll also be sending this out to other sites affected to see if they want to join and comment on their own situation.

Q) What is a DDOS?

A) A DDOS is a Distributed Denial of Service attack. Essentially, a massive network of computers all targeting an endpoint and dumping a massive amount of traffic down all at once. You could equate this to driving on a near empty road and instantly, BAM! 100,000 cars appear can cause gridlock. Or, as I like to put your data has to get from Point A to Point B and Godzilla's ass is blocking the path.

Q) What can you do about it?

A) Not much. You either have to "ride it out" or start blocking traffic on the router level. You can blackhole an IP, dumping any traffic that reaches an endpoint to help curb the tide. This is what we did on FA. The site never went down, but the network access to the site did.

Q) Why don't you have XXX DDOS protection?

A) Because we already had some DDOS protection available from our host (we can theoretically absorb a DDOS up to 10Gbit even though we only have a 500Mbit line). However, the level of traffic far exceeded what we had available and started to impact the host. So much so, it was impacting other servers and hosts in four different facilities.

Q) I heard FA is dying.

A) Nope. Not dying.

Q) I heard FA lost all it's data!

A) The data's fine. The DDOS has just made accessing the site problematic. We are able to SSH (remote) into the site since our host opened that up for us, so we can get to it from our side and do what we need. It's just not publicly available.

Q) You're fat!

A) Cupcakes are frakkin' delicious, what can I say.
