You’ll want to show Monster Force Zero at any furry party night if you love midnight movies. This new release went through a few years of production with crowdfunding and shooting in Colorado at Galaxyfest. Furries are included briefly, but with love. Catch it on Amazon or other services above.

The setup: a nerd convention opens with all sorts of Star Wars, comic and cosplay fandom. A team of cosplaying artists is representing their own comic at their booth with dismal results. Suddenly, they’re accosted by arrogant rivals. It turns a dealer’s den into locker room bully turf. The bullies challenge the heroes to a cosplay competition that might reward their comic with new fans. They’ll find out more if they can get into a 13th floor party suite, to which they are guided by the hotel’s wise old janitor, played by Pat Tanaka. He returns to guide them at key points but has a dilemma of his own. Behind the door, the rules are laid out by a jury with a furry and two others who may not be what they seem. Then the furry turns them loose into a deliriously raving party.

That’s where you get the most of the all-too-brief furrybait. Anyone watching for it will have a big goofy grin when the heroes are swarmed by a choreographed fursuit dance. The teams have to figure out how to find their special powers and the main stage for battle action, presided over by a loud robot MC. The good guys advance, and that’s when things get weird.

Monster Force Zero delivers exactly the fun advertised on the label. It has pew-pew action to the max with a laser-eyed dinosaur. It makes the most of a modest budget by splashing everything with glowing CG lasers and graphics, sleek costuming, and a soundtrack by 20SIX Hundred that burbles and zaps with excitement. (Synthwave acts Occam’s Laser and Bourgeoisie were already on my playlists too — good choices!)

My pick for best-looking character: the mysteriously silent Yeti. The acting varies but does the job with dialogue that won’t tax your brain. It could benefit from a few more specific character moments, like when an introvert makes a move with a love interest, or a bad-ass cosplayer confronts a touchy jerk. It’s fine for kids and the crew can be proud of making a good light-hearted party watch. Order some pizza and queue this up.

• Share with everyone, and ask friends/family to leave a review.

It’s uncommon to see indie movies including furries on their own terms, rather than outside takes with cheap costumes. Of course the more campy it is the less it matters, but the fandom did support this production.

Okay so, we found this in Previews: Sasquatch In Love. “Meet Holden: he’s well-read, caring, and single. He’s also the world’s last Sasquatch. When Holden falls for Grace, the filmmaker who’s come to rural Oregon to make a Bigfoot documentary, he enlists the aid of his best friend – local veterinarian Felix – to find out more about her.” Written by Jason Nutt and illustrated by Alexis Vivallo, this new full-color comic is due in early November from Action Lab.

A recent article at Animation World Network let us know about Hit Pig, a new animated feature based on the book Pete and Pickles by Bloom County creator Berkeley Breathed. The film version stars the voices of Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones) and Lilly Singh (A Little Late With Lilly Singh). “Set in a futuristic cyberpunk world, the film stars Hitpig (Dinklage) as a grizzled porcine bounty hunter who accepts his next hit: Pickles (Singh), a naive, ebullient elephant who has escaped the clutches of an evil trillionaire. Though Hitpig initially sets out to capture the perky pachyderm, the unlikely pair find themselves on an unexpected adventure criss-crossing the globe that brings out the best in both of them.” And hey, if all goes well it looks like we’ll be seeing a lot more interesting anthro features coming out of the production company, Aniventure. “The London-based animation production studio is in production on Riverdance: The Animated Adventure based on the stage show phenomenon of the same name, and Blazing Samurai, based on Mel Brooks’ classic Blazing Saddles and directed by Mark Koetsier (The Grinch) and overseen and produced by Rob Minkoff (The Lion King). Riverdance: The Animated Adventure, Blazing Samurai and Hitpig will be delivered in 2020, 2021 and 2022, respectively.” Here’s hoping.

On October 19th I sat down with the magical dancing Korean red panda Tsuko to get to taste of what the world of furry dancers has to offer! He shared insight on me on what it's like to feel at home on the dance floor and what it was like growing up adopted into a white world. It's not always easy overcoming adversities and yet, this guy really knows how to reel it in.

Teeming with personality, vim and vigor this interview sure was a blast. This one isn't one of the heavier ones, but we aren't shy discusses how prejudice is bred from ignorance and only made worse from backlash. (Oh and I learn how to say "Hello" in Korean!)

Thanks for listening everyone! And if you wanna support us consider telling your friends about the show. Big thanks to Sal for drawing this episode's cover art consider commissioning him!

Good grief, there’s been a lot of anthropomorphic content for young folks coming out of Penguin Random House lately! Now there’s Norma and Belly, Volume 1: Donut Feed The Squirrels (whew, another long title too) written and illustrated by animator Mika Song. From the publisher: “Norma and Belly plan to start the day with some pancakes, but when Norma accidentally burns them, these two best friends set out to find a new treat. Chestnuts might be nice . . . but what is that delicious smell in the distance? A new food truck has parked near their tree, and these two squirrels are going to figure out how to get their hands on these ‘donuts’ that it seems to be selling.” There are other graphic novels available in the Norma and Belly series as well.

這一次邀請到了來自北京，在台灣獸圈知名的獸太繪師
以未來為主軸的創意、引人喜愛的畫風和角色、精密的故事劇情
就讓艾蘭與我們分享一路走來的點點滴滴吧！

第一個問題~
想請問您是怎麼進入獸圈的呢？

我是在大一的時候加入獸圈的，在那之前我並不知道有這個圈子，不過初中開始就有繪製一些關於獸人的作品，之後是在P站認識了台灣繪師才被帶入獸圈。

非常湊巧的在鎖VPN前進入了Facebook社群裡，也算是個契機吧～

▲tenaga 的連載漫畫

您是什麼時候開始繪畫的呢？

我拿到的第一個繪圖板是在初三的時候，拿到繪圖板之後就開始為所欲為了w

艾蘭是一個很早以前就誕生的角色，紅色毛髮的靈感則是受到歐美繪師tenaga的影響。

他連載一系列的漫畫非常的具有野性，也是因為這個繪師我才開始畫圖的，是我的初戀！

最近似乎看到您有在連載一部關於未來世界的漫畫？

會畫這個漫畫是我小時候的夢想，我喜歡給我的每個角色加個故事，對角色的感情也十分的濃厚。

不過當時能力不足，無法完成將故事分享給大家的夢想。
這個故事其實是以少數群體融入到大眾中的成長歷程為主軸，不過是比較情色的方式畫表現出來ww

▲於2010年上市的質量效應2

未來世界的背景也是受到幾款遊戲的啟發，如「質量效應」，當中的第二集是最棒的！每一個角色的刻劃都十分鮮明。

而亞洲獸圈也比較少這類未來題材，所以想要自己試看看~

對於未來有什麼規劃嗎？

首先我要把漫畫完成，之後想要和其他繪師一起合作出書，教導更多的人如何繪製獸人，雖然市面上已經有不少的教程，不過和畫獸人還是有區別的，所以我想做個更系統性及專業化的教材給大家。

但近期目標還是把漫畫完成，怕後來越來越沒時間畫這些東西

最後希望眾繪師能夠在畫圖這塊活出自我，能夠在創作這條路上更開心~

各位還記得上星期天由烏咪在半路咖啡主講的認識獸圈講座嗎？

獸時報在講座結束之後，由我們的記者小金採訪了烏咪本人，請教了她一些關於這次講座背後的用意與準備，讓大家可以更了解這次活動背後的故事哦～

Q1

小金：｢這次舉辦這個活動的用意為何？｣

烏咪：｢這次主要瞄準的對象是一些想要瞭解獸圈，卻沒有管道可以瞭解的人，希望他們可以透過這次的講座來瞭解獸圈文化。｣

Q2

小金：｢其實在參加活動之前就有注意到感覺這是一個周期性的聚會，只是這一次好像特別踴躍的樣子？｣

烏咪：｢這次的主辦方是BDSM圈的皮繩愉虐邦，每固定一段時間就會辦一個專題講座，因為他們有些人想多了解獸圈，於是我的朋友北極星就跟他們推薦我來擔任講者介紹一下獸圈文化。以往都是很小型的聚會，這次的參加人數整個超出預期。｣

Q3

小金：｢那您認為這次活動向外人介紹獸圈的目的有達成嗎？｣

烏咪：｢從最後的QA問答看來的話我想是有的，確實有一些聽眾是圈外的人，相信他們在聽了這個講座之後能更加瞭解獸圈是什麼、獸圈的人都在做些什麼。｣

半路咖啡外觀。圖/明黎

Q4

小金：｢那想問一下你們這次活動大概需要做甚麼事前準備？｣

烏咪：｢準備的話…大概兩個禮拜左右，不過主要是因為我已經對獸圈有一定程度的瞭解了所以準備起來不會太難，至於主辦方因為已經辦過很多次講座了所以應該也不需要特別準備些什麼。｣

Q5

小金：｢就我個人感覺來說這次的活動是很成功的，我也有感受到這次的活動真的讓不是獸圈的人能對獸圈有初步的瞭解。而我覺得這次還有一個亮點，就是當這次活動的消息發佈時是非常多人有興趣的，覺得還蠻神奇的。」

烏咪：｢真的很謝謝大家來，或許是因為獸圈類似的活動不多再加上因為疫情的關係很多活動取消所以這次大家才參與的這麼踴躍。」

Q6

小金：｢想請問烏咪在這次活動有的心路歷程或是其他感想。｣

烏咪：｢在確認要辦這個講座的時候，我只要一想到可以講的內容就會把它們寫進我的記事本中，純粹想到什麼就記錄下來；直到活動的前一個禮拜，我才開始整理分類這些雜項，歸納出一些段落做編排，最後再花這幾天的時間將它們做成簡報。第一次用平板做簡報沒想到這麼好用。｣

半路咖啡。圖/明黎

Q7

小金：｢在簡報中有注意到一些數據資料的部分，想請問一下這些資料的來源大概為何，是臺獸研嗎？｣

烏咪：｢有一部分的數據是從舒那邊來的。雖然舒是臺獸研的創辦人之一，但應該並不等於就是來自臺獸研；因為知道舒之前在獸無限有講過獸迷心理學，於是我便在經過他的同意之後借用了他的一些圖片與資料。｣

Q8

小金：｢這次活動的迴響真的非常熱烈，想請問未來還會有類似這樣的這樣的講座出現嗎？｣

烏咪：｢這次算是試水溫，之後有機會出現類似的講座。｣

小金：｢那活動這邊的採訪就先告一個段落，今天非常謝謝烏咪接受我們的採訪！｣

Thanks to Twitter we found out about Wild Lands, a new fantasy role-playing game created by Steve Wood — an animation and game arts professor and fantasy illustrator, to quote him. “Wild Lands is a High Fantasy Critter TTRPG inspired by the stories I loved as a kid like Redwall, The Wind in the Willows, The Rats of Nymph, and Once Upon a Forest to name a few.” Over at the official web site it says “Scurry into adventure with Wild Lands, a cooperative storytelling RPG where players control squirrel knights, mouse mages,  badger barbarians, and more!” Free trial downloads are available now.

Sábado, 10 de Octubre, 2020 de Nuestro Salvador Jesucristo, Guayaquil, Ecuador-Iberoamérica (Cartas del cielo son escritas por Iván Valarezo) La TIERRA entera bautizada contigo en agua es el TEMPLO de su santo nombre para siempre: El día llego, cuando nuestro Padre celestial

Dear Papabear,

I'm transgender, MTF, and have started transitioning at least to the best of my ability given the Covid-19 situation. So here is the problem I'm facing due to the current situation in the world: I don't know how to handle it as I'm struggling to find the help or start hormone therapy, or even if I even need to actually go onto hormones to be transgender. Every site I've looked at only ever mentions going onto hormones to be considered trans, so I don't even know if I'll be accepted as female if I'm for whatever reason unable to do hormone therapy. Even though I'm trying my best to present as female. (But I've still been misgendered several times, which I can only assume is because I still "look and sound" male, which has been stressing me to no end on how to even handle that).

Anonymous

* * *

Dear Furiend,

Thank you for asking a very important question that may help others who read my column. Let's get down to it.

Just like people who think all furries wear fursuits, there is an assumption among the public that all transgender people get surgery and/or hormone therapy. This is false. There are a lot of people just like you who do not go for medical options. This can be for a number of reasons. Perhaps they are unable to afford hormones or surgeries. Perhaps they have other medical problems that prevent them from doing so safely. Or perhaps they simply don't want to put their body through a medical procedure. These are extremely personal decisions, and there is no right or wrong answer. You must do what is best for you.

Are you trans if you don't have surgery or hormone therapy? If you feel that your physical sex does not match the real you, then yes, you are trans. Your true self lies within you and how you feel. It is not subject to public opinion.

Assuming that, even if you do want hormone therapy, you are unable to pursue it at least for the time being, what else can you do to be trans? Your third option is called "social transitioning." That is, you change yourself outwardly in things that can be easily perceived by society. One obvious thing you can do is change your appearance--your hair, your clothes, your makeup, etc. Next, you can change your name (you can do this legally online for very little money at websites such as totallegal.com, which charges like $30 to do the paperwork), and you can insist on people referring to you with the appropriate name and pronoun that suits you. Finally, you need to look into all your legal rights in your state, which might require you to do some paperwork, depending on where you live. Check out this page https://transequality.org/know-your-rights for more on that.

Finally, related to the last part of your letter, try to build a network of support, including friends, family, and professionals (anyone from doctors, nurses, and therapists to ministers and other counselors). I recommend you check out the National Center for Transgender Equality at transequality.org to get further advice and support.

Hugs,
Papabear

Help vote for success for the only furry auction site!

For over 20 years, furries have had their own specialized auction sites serving the “Furry Economy”. In 1999 there was Furbid and Furbuy. In 2015 we had Furbuy and The Dealers Den. Now only the last one is standing — and thriving. It may be poised to leap ahead of big corporate sites with an ambitious plan.

The Dealers Den is a furry-owned marketplace that brings outsized benefit to sellers and users. They don’t have to use Etsy, Ebay or Amazon. They can efficiently reach each other within their own niche. It keeps things in the “fandom family” without corporate middlemen and control. Ask users what the site does for them. (“Very surprised and very grateful”: fursuit maker Beauty of the Bass talks about a $14,000 sale.) It makes big support for independent art.

But for any niche community, there are downsides. Keeping things personal and relying on trust can be risky. Anywhere in the fandom, scam sellers can come back under new names, or good sellers can be hurt by false bidding or cheating on pay. It’s hard to scale up for new features — like a verified purchase review system, payment processing, or escrow protection.

Enter the Dealers Den rebuild plan.

Sites like Ebay and Amazon can pivot as slowly as giant ships. But furry fandom is a good lab for experiments. Ask Dealer’s Den admin Vitai Slade. He’s devoted to Bitcoin and blockchain tech that allow decentralized, peer-to-peer markets. In his vision, it’s key to the site (and the fandom’s) future.

These will be features of the new plan (register an account to read the whole thing and vote for it!)

• SALES: “A peer-to-peer system for businesses and individuals to buy/sell merchandise to one another in a verifiable way.”
• CATALOGING: “Tracking ownership of one-of-a-kind costumes, artwork, and merchandise on a public blockchain.” (Like fursuit databases already in use.)
• COMMUNITY: “A social platform and phone app that rewards positive interaction with others and promotes sales.”
• ACCOUNTABILITY: “Built into the platform will be Positive/Negative incentivization… rewards for purchases, achievements for repeated good behavior/order completion, customer/business reviews, and strict penalties for non-payment that attach to each user account.”
• MEDIATION: “an honest and vibrant marketplace… at low-cost and with high security over their funds and identity, while allowing our administrative team to monitor interactions and settle disputes between parties.”

Furries who are native to the internet will probably already be familiar with virtual currency. The specific blockchain tech is on the Cardano platform (info). My browsing saw it ranked next to Bitcoin and Ethereum (I couldn’t name better names.) To my understanding, users would cash in and cash out by exchanging dollars for equivalent tokens that exist in the global blockchain. Tokens would have to use site features, so you have to play fair and can’t just run off with money. One rule is requiring 10% collateral with auction bids, so you can’t do frivolous bidding without paying.

Vote to help make the plan happen — the deadline is October 20!

VOTE HERE AND SHOW THAT FURRIES WANT A FANDOM ECONOMY WITH EXCITING NEW FEATURES. (Add a Kudos number above the title.)

The plan is on Project Catalyst — a Cardano initiative to develop their entire concept. It’s like a crowdfund except all you have to do is vote. The Dealers Den is one of many proposals and Cardano will share millions in funding for those who win approval. I think it’s a test for whether Cardano will get used. THIS IS A RACE FOR APPROVAL BY OCTOBER 20 — DON’T WAIT!

Why join a plan like this? Look at the track record of The Dealers Den. It’s the foremost furry auction site that stays as close to free as possible. And this plan comes with decades of strong fandom growth, that can meet a leading edge of tech.

I’m working with modest knowledge as a non-techie, but can share a critical opinion: I’m not very into cryptocurrency in general. It reminds me of this joke: “imagine if keeping your car idling 24/7 produced solved Sudokus you could trade for heroin.” Wide adoption of Bitcoin raised a problem with excessive energy use. But Cardano uses “proof of stake” math, not “proof of work” like Bitcoin. It takes a fraction of the energy, making faster and more efficient transactions without sacrificing security. This peer-to-peer tech may just keep things in the fandom family and allow market mediation that is otherwise hard to develop.

There’s even an X-Factor on my mind; the power of adult art to help a fandom grow against mainstream judgement. There simply is demand for art that corporations won’t make, and fans serve it to each other. But it’s under threat by corporate power that serves a “war on sex” from conservative lawmakers. Payment processing is withheld, accounts are frozen, communities purged, and laws are changed to suppress it. In 2018, SESTA/FOSTA carved out an exemption to the standard of websites not being liable for adult content posted by users. Now only the biggest can afford compliance. As a result, Tumblr was purged, Craigslist killed its personals section, and furries suffered the loss of their dating site Pounced. Decentralizing could protect these things.

If blockchain tech is applied well, it has potential to raise power and freedom for the fandom.
