Hey Papa Bear.

I'm in a mateship with a wonderful pup and it's a bit of a long distance relationship. We both agreed we weren't going to post on FA that we're mates until we've had time face-to-face together and have pictures of us together to prove that we're mates.

The thing is; my mate has been in previous relationships and I’ve become friends with one of his ex's who isn't really over my mate. My mate and I are getting antsy about when we want to announce our mateship together, but we want to wait like we planned. I'm scared though to announce it because I don't want to lose all the friends that I've made because they're upset with my choice. What do I do? Do I announce it as planned? Do I announce it earlier? or do I not even announce it at all?

Hi, Anonymous,

Let me ask you this: are you ashamed of your choice for a mate? Because if you are, you should hide him, maybe store him under a rock somewhere near the North Pole, bringing him out occasionally to play with in secret and only when no one else is out and about to see the two of you together.

If, on the other paw, you love your mate and are proud to be in a relationship with him, then why are you concerned what your friends say or whether or not they approve? If you were playing a game of cards in which the cards were made up of friends and mates, a hand in which you only held a pair consisting of you and your mate would beat a flush consisting of only friends.

True friends will support your choice of mates and will be happy for you (unless there is something about this mate that is dangerous, but then I doubt you would describe him as a “wonderful pup”). False friends, concerned about past dramas such as who's been friends or mates with whom, will criticize you and will not support you in your pursuit of love and happiness. If you lose them because they don’t like your mate, then good riddance. You have your mate, and that is better than a thousand shallow friends. (BTW, not sure why you bring up being friends with one of his exes, unless that is what is causing the issue with other friends).

If you love your mate now and he loves you now, then the time to tell people you two are together is ... now. You don’t have to treat it like the announcement of a wedding engagement, but there is certainly no reason you should hide the love you have for each other. Love is a beautiful thing and should be celebrated.

Hugs,

Papabear

It is with great fluff and an amount of slobbery, we are exploring all things DAWG and CANINE! We're also traversing the Lego Forrest Zoo, braving a Zombie Theme Park and miniature Spider Silk Farm to shake our heads at Shells spoof ad-campange 'Lets Go' armed with BPM-controlled wagging tails! (...or something to that effect.) It's so choc-full of Segment Treats for your ears too, you'll be Dog Tired by the end of it!

Just to satisfy my curiosity here, does it really bother you when an artist on FA doesn't call themselves a furry?

Its a bit of an oddball question, but I consider myself mostly a wannabe cartoonist. I found FA via a friend after I showed her a picture of rabbits in tuxedos I had done, and she linked me there. I was 14 at the time, and what I found was cool, but I found out that there was a lifestyle kind of stigma with it. I'm not one for labels, so it never occurred to me to call myself a furry in any way... and I want to stress that I don't consider it a bad thing. Its just another label I can choose to use or not. Hell, half of my FA has a good mix of human/fuzzy people stuff.

My question may have come from a couple incidents with certain users accusing me of being a poser, liar, etc, while I was really just confused as to why I was being called out as such. Any insight would be nice.

Actually, Sanctuary is a black & white on-line comic book by Stephen Coughlin, published as part of Slave Labor Graphics on-line comics initiative. It’s a funny animal adventure, but also a murder mystery. “ A research station on a secluded island houses a game reserve/sanctuary where the animals seem to be just a tad smarter than the human researchers observing them. The arrival of a Panda bear threatens to upset the delicate balance of life for everyone involved.” Word is out that Sanctuary will also be released soon on dead trees.  For now, check it out at SLG’s page.

Author: Fred The Cartoon Brew has a picture of new “Hello Kitty/KISS” toilet paper, blending the Japanese cartoon character with Gene Simmons’ demonic-image rock-music label. Unexpected licensed merchandise of cartoon anthro stars are nothing new. There is the Spongebob Squarepants child’s rectal thermometer, for example. Most of it is for children’s products, though. Not Hello [...]

Just an idea! So many of us go to Otakon, in Baltimore, MD for the anime, etc, but hide our fuzzier sides. We could be standing right next to each other and not know it. Anyone up to creating a hang out/meet up area at the Con or close by?

So I bring you your first NewYorker rant and cool looking logo thingy I put up top.  So this post is about furries attitudes.  There are many secluded furries in the fandom. There is even more who will not just interact with others in public situations, but will bring up what we like to call, “Drama”.  Let’s take the post I just saw for Example of an artist well know for his animations. Someone actually went out of their way to contact him and ask for free art, then when he refused the person went off because they didn’t get their way. I mean COME ON how much of a mind frame can you have in a situation like that? Does everything come free in this world? Last I checked I work hard to get good stuff.

When we think of issues we think of our own way not the best way? Let’s take another example when someone does not bring up great conversation pieces, but still in their mind think they are having a GREAT conversation. At the end of everything they think they are your best friend. When in reality the conversation was, “How are you doing?” to which you reply ,”Fine and You?” and they say, “Great” . This is not a conversation if you can not pick up a topic and generally get the other person going on it, yet I see SOOO many furries do it online mostly.Of course this in no normal social experts eyes is an instant friendship conversation piece.

We speak of ages 20 and up that pull these kind of things, which really goes to show MANY furries just can not handle intense situations or calm conversations. Like I said from the start and I am very willing to bet my doggy bowl, almost all the issues that seem, “WOW” are from those who live very secluded lives . Being online around others and chatting on microphone helps, but when the monitor turns off where does that leave the person?

 

So I stumbled on some furporn(?) a few years back and it was... appealing but, I was having some other issues with sexuality at the time and just kind of disregarded it. I wanted to avoid drowning myself with things that I don't need to be worrying about. Well I have given it more time and feel more comfortable to the point where I want to know more. I browsed this subreddit a bit and I want to make a fursona and be a bit more involved. Is there a subreddit for gay furries or is it all one big family? Feel free to PM me for anything, I would like to make some friends or learn what I can. Thanks reddit!

I really want to commission an artist but the character i want is only in my head and not on paper. I'm not going to make an artist who doesn't specialize in creating characters draw what i want just from my imagination. So the question is if you can't draw (I am about as good at art as Rosie O'Donnell is at not eating) what do you do/Are there artists who specialize in this sort of thing?
