For those who are in need of rehabilitation support...

Furry Reddit - Wed 18 Mar 2015 - 15:08

I found a station today that has a thing called Wolf Therapy. It allows visitors and patients to bond one on one with one of the wolves. They act as a way to ease stress and addiction. I mean, who wouldn't want a animal companion in their time of need?

Here is a photo of the ad I found in a issue of Psychology Today at the clinic where I meet with my therapist.

The number is 800-985-4711.

That photo is crap, website here

Clever words from an unknown author

Furry Reddit - Wed 18 Mar 2015 - 10:46

A lot of people can say that furries are like cosplayers but in actual fact, they are different. I have been a furry for about five years and I contribute to the fandom with furry writing. However, I do not have the 'yearning' to have sex with animals. Every fandom has their weird kind of people but generally, furries are not that way. We incorporate ourselves with animals or others would like to call them as 'spirit animals' and we portray ourselves that way. Thus, that leads to the point where we want to BE that animal that we have created. We create art, stories, music, literature, etc.. Basically creativity and from there, we create our fursona. Which leads to this thing called fursuit. Fursuit basically means fur-suiting. We suit into our created fursonas in real life and go about having fun. Children loves us because we are cute and adorable. That is... if the fursuit is adorable in the first place. We are not cosplaying but fursuiting. The term cosplay usually means costume playing which is where we build our costume based solely on the characters that was created in anima, manga, shows, movie, etc.. It's already there and we make them as cosplays. However, fursuit is something that we create ourselves and want to wear the fursuit that portrays our inner animal.

A fursuit is far more expensive than a normal cosplay, that much I could say. No doubt both cosplaying and fursuiting takes the same amount of time to complete but fursuit is making something that is adorable, cute and somewhat acceptable in public. Yes, there are fursuits that shows nudity and whatnot but that is just a small part of the fandom. I have both friends that cosplay and fursuit and from the looks of both side, a fursuit would cost far higher than a normal cosplay. When you cosplay, you look for cheap materials or on a budget to create that character. Example, you buy polystyrene to make a shape of a weapon and later on colour it with colour paint and whatnot. However, to make a fursuit, you need to purchase furs but that depends on the material. If the client request for their fursuit to feel much more softer and fluffier, a high graded material is used. Sometimes, they want to cut cost and request for fur that isn't that soft but generally acceptable.

Some fursuiters wants their fursuit to have muscles. They want to portray themselves more than just adorable but buff and beefy. Imagine someone dressing up as Leomon from Digimon. He's muscled and how do you make those muscles? We have paddings. Lots and lots of paddings which is then hand sown into the inner layer of the fursuit. The fur are made into the cloth and later on from the inside, paddings. And when it's done, you will have a suit that looks muscled from the outside. It's not easy.

Dressing as a furry is fun in a way because children loves it. I have gone through my first fursuit parade in Singapore and the looks on the children were priceless. They were like 'Mum! Look! Lion!' and all of them came rushing to hug these cute animals and parents are more than happy to take photos with them. As a spotter for these fursuiters, it is, to be honest, really heart warming, because the smile of the children was priceless. Oh, and another thing for fursuiters, we have spotters. Most of them require spotters or helpers by their side because the suit is big and heavy and the people inside could easily dehydrate. I have seen several cases where the fursuiters fainted in the middle of a fursuit parade because they overheated. You need a lot spotters to cool them off, guide them due to limited vision, make sure the tails do not drag all the way on the ground and prepare for any emergencies that require fursuiters to stop and unhead the suit.

So, there is a big difference between cosplay and fursuiting.
