So today I learned that my dad is terminally ill. Of course my first instinct, since it was 7PM and a visit was out of the question, was to let the folks I know online know about it, you know keep people filled in on what's going on with me and why I may be a bit off for awhile. So I get maybe 1 message of sympathy, somebody with no awareness of anything posts a shitty joke that probably wouldn't have been funny even if I wasn't presently predisposed against laughing, and another person complains about a skyrim mod they installed, and just like that I'm forgotten. So I go somewhere else, I like having multiple hangouts so I have a place to complain about each one in vague terms and have people justify my feelings, 1 message of sympathy and another asking why I'm also angry on top of it all, so I tell the story and a third person comes in to complain about a school assignment, and just like that I'm forgotten.

I mean maybe I just need to work on my temper, maybe I'm selfish, but I feel like every once in a blue moon I should be entitled to say "I'm sorry, I'd like this moment to be about me, I may not deserve the attention and you clearly loathe giving it to me but I think it would benefit my currently poor self esteem and emotional state." I'm just sick of how many years life has played this game with me where I'm chopped liver because nobody knows me, and nobody wants to know me because I'm chopped liver. I'm not allowed to have problems because somebody else present has it worse and I'm selfish for thinking mine are more important. I'm not allowed to have feelings because the only time people take an interest in me is to push my buttons to laugh at the hilarity that is any sort of emotional response from me.

I'm sure this too will come around to bite me but better to shout here where I'm moderately confident I won't get some matter-of-factly response about how it's all actually my fault and yadda yadda until I find myself reduced to little more than frothing rage and very loudly hurl obscenities around because this problem has been stewing for a long time now...

Tl;dr GRRRRRASGGSACBTSAGLPHV foaming at the mouth

edit: thank you all for the sympathy, really, though it wasn't my intention here to garner any sympathy as much as it was to just get some frustrations off my chest. I suppose I got a bit carried away in providing the freshest example I had. All the same though, thank you.

No art for him yet, but I have a design doc. For those TL:DR types, he's an albino Coeurl who wears clothes that make him look like an imperious prick. And he's a vampire wizard.

He exists in the same universe as my main 'Sona

Anywho, ask him anything.

Gerant: oh joy. Just throw me to the wolves, why don't you? You realize most of them will be if I can still have sex?

Sighs. Yes.

Gerant: Right, well. I can. So, keep all of those questions in your pants, will you? And no twilight jokes. I'd much rather have a silver spike through the groin.

Dear Papabear,

So I have been a furry for a while but I haven't told my parents! The reason is because when I was first learning about the furry community I clicked on a website without knowing what it was and it was a 18+ website with all kinds of unholy horrors. And unluckily for me my mom was standing right behind me! Now because of my mistake that's what they think of the furry community! So how do I tell them that I'm into furry stuff but I'm not into all of that adult stuff?

Dear Young Furiend,
 
Papabear realizes there are many furries like you who are under 18 and wish to do fun furry stuff without the X-rated and other adult things in the fandom. I would like to say that the furry fandom is a sweet, childlike, and innocent hobby for the entire family.

The truth is, it isn’t.

You see, young one, the furry fandom began when some artists and writers (back around 1980 or so), who enjoyed the cartoons and comics made for children, decided that they wanted to create some art and stories with animal-like characters but that these would have more adult themes (Omaha the Cat Dancer is the best early example of this). Some themes dealt with violence, some with sex and sexuality, and they often had very adult language, gay themes, and drug references and criminal behavior. The best stories have also dealt with serious themes, including war, racism, slavery, and more.

Over time, this idea grew and grew and became more and more diverse. Some very good writing that is nonsexual has come out of it (check out the story collection Furry! edited by Fred Patten, for example); some graphic tales that have violence and adult themes, but don’t emphasize sex, have also come out that are great (I was introduced recently to the Blacksad tales by Juan Díaz Canales and Juanjo Guarnido about a detective in a furry world that has a lot of violence, but the stories are very well written and illustrated), and even some first attempts at movies (Bitter Lake in 2013) have been made. But, really, much of the stuff in the furry world is for adults and there is a lot of graphically sexual material. You simply can’t avoid it. Even people who are not interested in it, like you, will still stumble upon it (you can hit the SFW button on FurAffinity, but not all sites have this feature).

On the other side, there are Christian furs and cartoony furs and fursuiters who do charity work and raise money for animals and all kinds of nice things. Going to furcons can be a blast! But, again, it’s all about the company you keep.

A couple things you can do, hon.

For one thing, you can still enjoy a lot of the movies and cartoons that furries enjoy featuring talking animals and produced by such companies as Disney and Pixar etc. I’m sure your parents won’t object to G-rated cartoons made for the general public.

As for the other, you can tell your parents you like some of the creative furry things that some people are doing out there, but you realize that there is adult stuff to avoid and you understand they don’t want you to look at it and neither do you! Therefore, encourage them to monitor your Internet use. Welcome them to check out furry communities that are safe and to help you to avoid those that are not.

Here are a couple sites Papabear can recommend:

• Furry Teens at http://www.furryteens.org/forum/
• Furry.today (regularly posts videos of interest to furries without the sex)
• DeviantArt (http://www.deviantart.com/browse/all/anthro/): despite the name, which kind of implies it could have mature stuff, this site doesn’t allow naughty art (some “tasteful” nudes might be there, though)
• Fan Art Central (http://www.fanart-central.net/) also has banned porn.

 
That’s enough to get you started. You can also subscribe to clean furry art pages on Tumblr and join discussion groups on Facebook or other social sites.
​
The key is to allow—even encourage—your parents to be involved so they don’t think you’re doing anything they would not approve of. The modern furry fandom really is for adults, and you should therefore tread lightly, but it can be made fun for young furs if you surf carefully.
 
Good luck and hope you have fun!
Papabear

All of you guys who said happy birthday to me and just the furry fandom in general, you all make me feel so loved and I am so glad that I found the fandom! You all are great <3

huggles all who accept

So with Dust: An Elysian Tale's recent release on iOS it led me to wonder exactly what furry-themed games exist on mobile (specifically Android). I've tried looking it up myself but I've turned up nothing, can the fluffs of /r/furry lend a hand/paw/tail/claw? Would be much appreciated!

So a year ago I bought this Red Panda stuffed animal from Build-a-Bear. It looked like this when I first got her

After about a few months of cuddling and such her fur has gotten messy and I've peeled the 'WWF' tag she had on her and replaced it with a bread clip here

So she's almost 2 years old now and about a few months ago these weird grey spots started appearing here on her head.

A little background, for some reason I absolutely LOVE the way she smells in this area. I can not go a day without sniffing the top of her noggin because she just smells delish 99% of the time. So everyday I sniff her at least 50 times ever since I got her. So.. has my sniffing been like, ruining her fur? What's causing these black spots? It's like imbedded in the fur. I wash her every 3-6 months

Hi~!

I'm relatively new to the fandom (was only collecting furry art before), so I thought that it'll be great to make a bunch of new friends here :)

You can find me on Telegram (@icefairy64) and deviantArt (icefairy64) (sadly, haven't done any fur art yet)

Just a simple question I thought about asking. For me, it has to be Jurassic Park. I have watched this movie countless amount of times and it's just so good! How about you?

If I was in the process of making you a ref sheet and you deleted the account you were talking to me on, this is for you! Please shoot me a PM either here or on my FurAffinity!

I'll post this to my FA too in case you're watching me there.

I have it almost done, please get in touch so I can give it to you!

(I understand the last post based on this film was four months ago, but please, let me preach how good it was! Also, this has EARLY SPOILERS)

Okay, what's up. So, I know there has been quite a few posts on this film, and I remember this film back when I had a throwaway and there was quite a lot of hype on the subreddit at the time, but I only just found the time to watch it tonight. And oh boy, was it such an amazing film.

If you don't know the background behind it is pretty much about a young woman, Hana, who unexpectedly in University falls in love with a man who is pretty much a werewolf. However, after moving in together, they have children - but after an accident, Hana is left who her two half-wolf-half-human children, Yuki and Ame. However, she escapes the hustle and struggle of city life and decides to escape to the country to give herself and her children a better life and to decide whether they should be wolves, or human. As a family, they show the struggles of their two sides and Hana's struggle raising her two children in rural Japan.

Now, look, this film must have been seen by quite a few furries now, but if you haven't watched it - GO AND WATCH IT. NOW. Mamoru Hosoda, the director, and the team at Studio Chizu really do know how to put together a great movie which both tells a story in a visual and audible treat for the eyes and ears. The animation is on point, and the films editing and composition within scenes is perfectly executed. The films story is really well done, and really shows the contrast between Yuki and Ame's characters of one longing to be a human and fit in and another longing to be a wolf and both be part of an animal kingdom and human society. With that, the film intertwines the two in such a way which captivates the audience and long for more as to what happens to the two characters as they grow up, and the personal struggle of Hana as she raises two children in an extraordinary environment with the help of her neighbors and her two children. I cannot stress how highly the film's visuals are excellent though - they feel true to the eye, and the crossover between 2D animation and a sort of 3D(?) animation for the two children's POV shots are succinct and really make the audience feel like the characters.

So please, whether you're just a lonesome guy with two and a half hours to spare, or have a whole family to sit with and watch a few films on a Friday night, please... please... please watch this film. I honestly think it is a masterpiece and while it does have it's flaws (the introduction can be tedious as some previous reviewers have mentioned), it's a great family film which really goes to show what a mother really does for her children. Oh, did I mention this film might make you go and call your mum after watching it? Because you better after watching it. :)

Anyway, I'm also looking for recommendations of really underrated and not-so-known Anthropomorphic films - I've seen a lot of the Disney stuff, but I'm trying to broaden my horizon of animated (or even non-animated for that matter, Bitter Lake?) of film and cinema and I'd love to get some recommendation of films you guys enjoy.

Anyway, cheers!
