Also I've been trying to remember this one comic it usually has 3-5 panels and the two main characters are a tiger and a Fox...maybe a wolf...but the author said she bases it off her life. Thanks a ton guys :D

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to advertise conventions here in this subreddit. There's a new convention coming up in boston called Maltese Furcon. It's a themed convention that will change it's theme every year it's held. The theme this year is based off The Maltese Falcon a classic black and white movie from the 1940s. During the con we will have events happen at scheduled times allowing our guest/congoers to get involved and have fun. My name is Azriel (excuse the username) I am one of the staff members of the con. I hope to use this thread to answer any possible question you guys have about the convention It will be coming up August 1st to the 3rd. The hotel it is being hosted the Hilton hotel located near Logan Airport.

Anyways, thank you for reading this thread it is greatly appreciated. We will be the first furry convention located in Boston and hope establish something with some amazing support from the community :). Website: http://maltesefurcon.com/

This week we're back in action~ A-Kon adventures, the future of the show, long distance relationships, and really long tangents about sociopolitical topics! Oh my! Episode 255 - I'm Cosplaying A Nerd

Christopher and Christine Kezelos made this amazing Stop Motion short as they describe: “A strange creature races against time to make the most important and beautiful creation of his life.”

So, I've been a furry for a few months now, and I've only personally known one other furry. I'm looking for a non-obvious way to show that i am a furry, so that another furry my recognize me as one. I was searching for braclets and such, and found something that I didn't understand. Furry Pride. I'd heard about it previously, but never learned what it was and I can't seem to find a good description of it. The only reason that I'm reluctant to wear something with a furry pride logo on it is because I'm not sure if it's related to gay pride. (I'm fine with all that business, I'm just not part of it) Could someone please clear things up for me?

Dear Papa Bear:

I was wondering if you had any advice for a furry such as myself who made some major mistakes that ended up in the loss of my mate.

I dearly love him, and we still remain friends after what had happened.

But about a year or two ago, I let my insecurities get the best of me and started a lot of fights over him constantly on his computer. I really went into a downward spiral that led to us breaking up.

I felt that him being online all the time, due to my insecurities and the growing lack of attention we were giving each other, was becoming a real threat to our relationship. I began a plethora of fights over this, even threatening to leave him over it all, when I just wanted to be with him.

I know what I did was stupid, insulting, disrespectful, and wrong. Yet, I still love him dearly and wish we could work things out and maybe end up back together eventually.

Papa Bear, I know I should have handled things differently. Now I just need to know what I should do to try to make things right between us because I really do love him and want to be with him.

Hi, Drako,

First question: have you done anything to work on improving your self-esteem?

Papabear

I have begun taking steps to work on my own self-esteem. Thankfully that was eased by me having roommates that were doing things I could not accept.  So part of that was taking steps to remove those things from my house.

* * *

Hmm, interesting comment, but I’ll let it lay, although I’m wondering if “those things” involved something illicit. At any rate, good, work on that self-esteem, most definitely, because that was the trigger that led to everything spiraling out of control between you and your mate. Things are damaged right now, so in order for you to repair them—assuming he is still interested—you’ll need to show him that you have changed.

Other than lack of personal hygiene, there are few things less attractive in a partner than someone with low self-esteem because when that person doesn’t even like him- or herself, it makes one wonder why you should like them. Work on making yourself someone he’d want to be with.

I’m not sure how damaged this relationship is, but, no matter the degree, you’ll need to ease back into it slowly. Don’t just say, “Hey, let’s get back together and everything will be like it was when we were doing great again.” Approach it, instead, as if it were a brand new relationship. Go on some dates (no sex for a while; that will just complicate things) and get to know each other again. Then go from there.

If things go well, then remember that, even when couples get along, arguments are inevitable, so learn how to “fight fairly.” I wrote an article about this last October that you might want to check out (http://www.askpapabear.com/letters/learning-to-fight-fairly-is-important-in-any-relationship).

All of this should not be just one-way (although it sounds like you were the bigger offender of the two); he needs to also pay a bit more attention to you and not be mesmerized by the computer screen all the time. Remember, the reason for being together is to ... be together. Spend time doing fun things together—ideally, leaving cell phones and games at home (can the young people of today bear it?) and actually talk to each other while you are eating out, or going to an amusement park, or the beach, or whatever. You and he both need to do this. Make an agreement with him that you will be less of a needy nagger if he will spend less time on the computer and more time with you.

Good luck! Here’s hoping it works out!

Hi Papabear,

So I had this one friend who is an artist. We don't exactly talk too much but I will always leave a like and a comment on her pictures on Facebook or Instagram. Sometimes we would chat and she would give me advice on how I can become a better artist.

A few months ago, I made a critique on one her friend's animation and she capped (yelled/scolded) at me. I then deleted the comment. 

Months later, I saw a picture she drew where she was practicing legs so I commented "Nice legs, what time do they open?" and she wrote back "totally lost respect for you now."
I immediately apologized and said what I wrote was stupid and degrading. Then I removed the comment. 

This may be a silly question, but is it best I just delete her as a friend and forget about ever talking again? We never did talk much anyway and I feel so awful for making someone upset like that. I thought what I said was funny, but I did not think about what others thought of it.

Dear PearBearskunk,

Granted this is a first impression on my part, but in your brief letter you mention two incidents in which this artist came back at you with highly upset responses. I don’t know how you phrased your critique of the animation, but let’s assume it wasn’t full of four-letter-words and was just a negative assessment. It’s perhaps nice that she stood up for her friend, but it sounds like she overreacted a bit and is rather oversensitive for some reason.

On the second incident, well, it can be a little dicey. If, for instance, this artist had a bad experience in her life involving a chauvinist, sexual comments, or some sort of harassment, you might have pushed a button that triggered her hurtful response. Or, she might just be a bit of a prude. If you had made such a comment between you and a close friend whose sense of humor you understood, this could, indeed, have been a funny remark. It’s all about the audience, really. Some people are very sensitive, very religious, or just don’t get off-color remarks, while other people are not in the least offended by them. For the latter crowd, your comment was actually pretty mild.

You say that the two of you never talked much, so, really, you are just acquaintances. I would suggest, therefore, that you don’t just jump the gun and cut her off. You have apologized for your comment, but I don’t know whether or not she accepted that apology. If not, write again and apologize one more time and ask her if she accepts your apology. In either case, contact her and say that you would like to become closer friends and get to know her a bit better. If she is open to that, getting to know her personality better should educate you on how to correspond with her in a way that won’t accidentally offend her. Emails and IMs can be tricky because texting does not convey well the body language and other nuances that clue people to the fact that you might be stating something ironically, sardonically, sarcastically, sympathetically, and so on.

If you like this person, don’t give up on a friendship yet. Make a little effort to repair the damage and see if you can become good friends.

Cheers,

Papabear

I'm trying to make an opossum tail for my friend. I want to make it out of a rubbery material so it's like a real opossum tail (no plush stuff). The molding isn't a problem but what would be a good rubbery elastic material I could pour into a mold for a durable final product?

This Fandom, as a social order, has been around for arguably 30 years. In that time we have broken down social walls, made an economy based off of art, and spread from one side of the globe to the other. As someone who just joined a committee to establish central organization to his local Furry community in much the same way one organizes street politics, I pose this question to the Fandom. Where do you think Furry will be in another 30 years?
