Well I have a sort of wish fulfillment picture I'd like made.

its about a male (me) being held from behind by his werewolf furry mate. Both of us under a tree, smiling happily as we kiss each other. That's really most of what I'd like but I can provide more info if needed.

If post doesn't belong here I'll delete it.

I really like his work as an artist and an animator but I'm looking for more clean and straight stuff so if anyone can point me to good animators that do clean and straight stuff that would be great.

I just made a throwaway account to say this (or maybe a new permanent account I don't know) because I'm too embarrassed and ashamed to talk about it on my main account.

I like gay furry porn, I have for many years. It's been more of a guilty pleasure than anything, I've never associated my self with being a furry, but that's not the point of this story.

Recently, I read a gay furry Visual Novel where you could choose your "character route" to go down, and I got really attached to a character. Like, really attached. My heart hurts, I dream about him, I feel numb when I realize I'll never have him and no one will ever compare to him, I even cry myself to sleep, It's disgusting. (If anyone is curious, this is my "husbando" (sfw).

I'm so embarrassed with myself, I've become one of those people the internet always makes fun of. I'm really fucking confused and sad. Not to mention I've been battling depression for many years now, and this isn't helping at all. I've fallen into the deepest depression state since last year. I hate that I'll never be able to be with him, yet I convince myself that I can.

I can't picture myself with a normal guy, I feel like no person can actually make me happy unless they're Juuichi. I think about what he would think about me when I make decisions.

I'm really scared guys, I'm in love this character.

Has anyone been in a similar situation or can at least relate? I feel super lonely and like an outcast.

If there is a better subreddit to post this in, let me know.

Thank you for reading.

Edit: Thank you everyone for your kind words, talking with someone has really put this whole situation into perspective for me, I can not thank you all enough.

Historical humor set on the Russia/Poland border, 1929…

Rudek and the Bear

Kickstarter ending 11/13/2014

I just finished looking over author/illustrator Peter Donahue’s pitch video for “Rudek and the Bear” and it got me thinking of how rich historical allegory as a genre is for fans of anthropomorphics. One of my more recent finds is the amazing allegorical tour de force, “The Beast is Dead.” I wish I could find a better link to share, but this period graphic novel represents many of the countries involved in World War II with totemic species–Russian bears, Italian hyenas, German wolves, US buffalo. It’s…it’s quite a thing.  Donahue (pdonz on FA) has created a world that’s in some ways richer, dipping only lightly into the way-too-deep allegorical well (clever fox, Russian bear), and telling stories with real character and humor. Telling the sweeping epic of WW2 is a lot easier than opening up a more real, less mythological time and place, humanizing (so to speak) a place and time in the past that’s barely a paragraph in a high school world history textbook.

Donahue’s webcomic, Rudek and the Bear, is a sort of gentle military farce, set in a military border post between Russia and Poland, 1929. Much of its humor is in bureaucratic incompetence and tedium in a pointless border conflict–well, not so much a conflict as an inconvenience. Rudek the fox is a border guard protecting Poland from smugglers and refugees–it may not be glorious, or important, or necessary, or even reasonable, but it’s his job. You can see the weary lines on his face as he deals with military nonsense and bureaucratic garbage, reluctantly dealing with one day after the next.

As a character, Malek is great. Jaded, tired, and totally believable. Somehow the humor echoes “Calvin and Hobbes” more than, say, M*A*S*H, the characters approach their situations with more than a bit of philosophy and whimsy.

There’s a faint note of sorrow that’s hard to escape, knowing the context for the story. What most people know about this historical period is that it ends, abruptly, a casualty of World War II. Donahue talks a lot about his love of that period in his video–the Second Polish Republic had a strong economy and a booming art, film, and music industry. But it is bounded, and it will end. There’s moments that tie into the historical events of the time (1929 is the year the Great Depression imploded, and that hits at least one of the characters even across the ocean).

One of the faintly confusing elements in this project is that Donahue is juggling two narratives–the webcomic and its web-to-print version on Kickstarter, and the later story, Zuzel and the Fox, set in Poland in 1939–about as “Eve of War” as you can get. The two narratives are connected, and Donahue sometimes jumps back and forth on which one he’s discussing.

The web version’s pretty cool, with lots of details on artistic process, technique, and a little historical context, but the Kickstarter’s got a lot going for it, too. The artwork for the limited edition graphic novel is higher-quality, and the usual unique commission materials are available at a surprisingly low level, as a part of the $35 tier and upward (you can be a part of the all-anthro group portrait at $35, a sweet digital portrait at $100, and some fun swag besides all that.

Obviously, check out the remarkable Rudek and the Bear webcomic to get a sense for how Donahue’s artwork has grown over the years, the characters, and the delicate humor of the series. And, perhaps, some hints about what 1939 will bring.

Dear Papabear,

How have you been?

I came to ask you for help regarding the way I am feeling.

As you know, I have been a furry for many years now, but an unfortunate, personal event in my life, which was caused by the lack of understanding of other Portuguese furries when I was undergoing a phase of depression, drove me to leave the furry fandom for some time. However, I have always wanted return when I felt ready to do so, despite the fact that I decided never to socialize with other Portuguese furries again.

It’s been three years since I walked away. I desperately want to return. But the fear that I may somehow ruin it all again prevents me from taking bigger steps.

An example of that fear was my very first letter to you, when I asked you to help me choose my fursona because I was too afraid to do so. 

Now I am afraid of creating an account on FurAffinity. I usually state that I do not wish to create an account there because I feel that my artworks are less secure there than they are on other websites such as deviantART, and although this is partially true, I have come to call it self-deception for the real reason for me doing so is that I do not want to come across my ex-furry friends again.

Moreover, the idea that living in Portugal, a country where the furry fandom is shunned and dismissed as a perversion by the large majority of people I have encountered, plus the fact that there are not many furries here (about 40 in the whole country) causes me to lose hope to ever obtain a respectable position in the furry fandom.

Somehow, I feel that if I had been born in another country, such as in North America or England, I would feel less an outcast. I feel somewhat blue when I think what other furries in other countries think about Portuguese furries. Do they even notice us at all?

I have always wanted to go to a furry convention, to meet other international furries, to have a fursuit, and to maybe even become a respectable and known entity such as yourself. But I seem to be too much of a coward to try and do so. 

I do not know what to do. Will you please help me?

Best Wishes,

Armand DeCrow (age 21)

Dear Armand, 

If there truly are only 40 Portuguese furries in existence, you might understand that the international furry community might miss them. As far as this bear knows, no one in the U.S. has an opinion of Portuguese furries one way or the other, good or bad. If you wish to go to a furry convention, I would suggest you try the big one in Europe, http://www.eurofurence.org/, which you could get to by train a lot easier than coming to the U.S. 

Going to another country will not solve your problems. If you think the furries in Portugal are drama queens, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet LOL. Such miscommunication and conflict happens whether or not you’re talking about furries. It’s human nature. Papabear gets letters all the time from furries who have suffered a misunderstanding or have been shunned by other furries. And the furry community is not commonly accepted in American society, either, although that has slowly been changing. I have been seeing reports on news channels that have been less critical of the fandom, such as this one about a recent Anthrocon: http://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2014/07/02/furries-bring-fun-costumes-and-lots-of-revenue-to-pittsburgh/. 

I’m glad, though, that your past troubles haven’t destroyed your desire to be involved in the fandom. In moving ahead, there are two options you can consider when reopening accounts on FurAffinity or elsewhere.

• You can just take the plunge and resume what you were doing before, hoping that a little time and, with luck, maturity, and communication you will do fine. As for sites like FurAffinity not being secure for your art, you could always add watermarks to your work so that discourage people from copying it, but people copy art all the time. If you’re a good artist, having people download your stuff is actually good advertising; then what you do is offer original commissions based on your reputation for art from people who have already been sharing it.
• Your other option is to start fresh in the furry fandom. You do this by creating a new name and fursona for yourself and begin from scratch making new friends, opening new accounts, and promoting your art. This doesn’t guarantee no one in Portugal will figure out that this is just another of your alter egos, but it would make it less likely that they would do so. As long as you don’t make it obvious who you are by talking about Portugal and your past, you should do fine.

In the meantime, you need to get over your fears. After all, what is the worst that could happen by being identified again or coming into contact with some of your compatriots again? Perhaps some jerks will block you; perhaps some people might post some bad things about you. But you’re not going to die or be banned from the fandom for any of that. Assert your rights to be part of the fandom and be a good person and you will be fine. Everyone gets trashed sometimes, including me. It is more a reflection on the trolls and haters out there than it is on you. Follow the Golden Rule and don’t worry about detractors. If you let them create fear in your heart, you are letting them win. The best way to defeat a troll is to show that you don’t care what they say or even acknowledge they exist. When you do that, they wither away.

Welcome back to the furry fandom, Armand!

Stay Furry!

Papabear
