Dear Papa Bear,

I'm not sure where to start with this letter. My birthday is coming up in less than a week, and it will be my 21st birthday. My parents are taking me to Vegas for the occasion, and I was hoping to bring along a friend, someone around my age. I had planned on bringing my girlfriend of a year and ten months. I had let her know about the trip back in February, and it was understood that she wasn't sure if she'd be able to make it or not. Back in October, I asked her if she could come to Vegas and Midwest Fur Fest this year. She said she couldn't make it to MFF, so I said "Well you have to at least come to Vegas, We haven't seen each other in a year." (Last time we were together was at last year's MFF.) She responded saying that she didn't "have" to do anything, I wasn't the boss of her. This ended with a large fight where we took a two-week "break."

We started talking again, but things were very strained. I could feel her drifting away. So I kept trying to ask her to set aside some time so we could talk and hang out since, with finals and trying to find a job, she was very stressed and busy. I just couldn’t seem to get her to set aside some time. Finally, with only two weeks until the Vegas trip, I got her to respond to a text so I flat-out asked her. She responded that she had no desire what-so-ever to go to Vegas.

In an effort to keep this short-ish, I'll just say that she's showing no interest in anything couple-related. I'm slowly coming to terms with the realization that things are going to be ending soon.. But I'm in that stage where you're looking for any last threads of hope. Is there anything I can do to keep the relationship afloat? What can I do to keep our friendship if the relationship can't be salvaged? Should I hold some hope for possibly getting together again in the future? I know these are multiple questions, so if only one can be answered. What can I do to avoid losing her as my friend?
I'll answer any questions you have for details I may have missed and such.

Thank you,

~Brandon

Dear Brandon,

Oh, dear, when any relationship gets to this point, it’s pretty clear where it is going. You and I both know it, and I think you just wrote to me to see whether or not I would confirm your suspicions.

Since your time at MFF, she has backed out of seeing you again, she has become irritable when you tried to insist she go to Vegas, and you ended up fighting when you pressured her. Two things going on here: 1) the problems with that ol’ pain in the butt, the long-distance relationship, and 2) she is super stressed with school and her job search, which are her priorities right now.

The best thing you can do is back off. Contacting her repeatedly will just drive her away. Asking her to go on a trip with her will do that, too. Another option would be for you to go see her, but that would also cause her undue stress at this time.

This is the time when you put the relationship on pause. Let her focus on school and work. After those things ease up a bit, she will either contact you again, or not. You cannot force a relationship to happen, nor can you make someone love you. Contact her just one more time and tell her that you are not going to bug her for a while, but that you are always there for her if she needs to talk to someone. Then, let her make the next move.

Find someone else to party with in Vegas. While there, celebrate YOUR birthday and having fun. Don’t worry about her because that will just ruin your parents’ very cool gift to you. She’ll be fine, and so will you.

Hugs,

Papabear

my other question is how do you know what you really are? are there quizzes out there to find out what animal you are? What you relate to the best? I'll be honest I always thought of myself as a grumpy triceratops dinosaur!

I just figured that I would take this moment to introduce myself, and familiarize myself with how reddit works from a user's stand point (instead of as a lurker) all in one go. I am ThatOneTrees, and though I am technically not new to reddit, this will be my first post. As for being a furry, I suppose the same could be said to an extent. I didn't really know much about the fandom for the longest time, but had an interest in it for quite awhile. Unfortunately for me, my skills when it comes to drawing are somewhat limited, so I haven't really been able to explore this side of myself in that respect. In finding a "fursona" I believe the term is (well as far as appearance is concerned, anyway). I could always write it out though, as I am a writer. Still, I have yet to make one.

But I digress. My reason for being here (and even making an account) was so I could learn about the fandom. A number of months ago I went to a furry convention with the same goal. But having gone alone as well as only getting a single day pass, I ended up not learning much and left with more questions than answers. Thus, joining here seemed like the next logical step.

Also, please forgive any misused terms and mistakes I may make, as they are unintentional.

That's right everyone, it's that time of year again. Time to bust out the tissues and park yourself in front of your gaming machine of choice because the Telltale Walking Dead series is coming back. You'll cry for the returning characters, for those who can not return, and because it has to end eventually, leaving you to wait fo the next installment.

Go ahead, try to tell me I'm wrong. 

Anyway, while on the topic of returns, according to the Telltale Games Twitter, "A familiar face returns in The Walking Dead Season 2 premire episode "All That Remains," releasing this month."

The tweet is accompanied by a photo of Cementine and Omid (From episode 3 onward) walking to a gas station.

There's not much to take from this other than Omid is coming back to the series, so if you're a fan of him, then there's that.

The first episode of season 2 will drop a month from now, so we'll just have to wait and see for what other secrets and reveals Telltale has up their collective sleeves.

Check out the plot summary for Ryan North’s new comic book series The Midas Flesh: “Fatima and her space crew have decided to return to Earth—a planet completely sectioned off, abandoned, and covered in gold—to find out exactly what happened to this once thriving planet and see if they can use that knowledge against the evil empire that’s tracking them down. As luck would have it, they just landed the most powerful weapon in the universe: Some ancient dead guy’s body.” Why should we care? Well, one of Fatima’s “space crew” appears to be a talking dinosaur with horn-rim glasses. That, and the fact that Ryan North is one of the creative minds behind the Adventure Time comic book series. He talks about this new full-color series at Comic Book Resources. The Midas Flesh is illustrated by Shelli Paroline and Braden Lamb, and the first issue is coming later this month from Boom! Studios.

Author: Sonious Furries are pretty creative. Where conventional companies will pay advertising companies we find new way to promote our products and selves to others, the independent artists in the fandom have to use less conventional means of promotion. Two such staples that have become popular in the fandom over the past year which have […]
