Need help with the tail on my hoodie?

Furry Reddit - Wed 12 Mar 2014 - 07:34

The other day I got an Otter hoodie: http://imgur.com/UvlecYV

If you look at the tail in that photo, you can see it kinda goes out horizontally and points up a bit... But mine seems to be really heavy and it goes down from where it starts (imagine you get the tail and push it down, it's like that). It kinda pulls on the back of my hoodie and it looks like I have a fat back :(. Anything I can do to fix the saggy tail? Thanks a bunch!

Edit: some photos of me wearing my hoodie: http://imgur.com/V8tdiZM and http://imgur.com/QP9WogP

Furries This Fall on Cartoon Network

In-Fur-Nation - Wed 12 Mar 2014 - 01:58

Our friends over at Cartoon Brew have a new article up about Cartoon Network’s new series (that’s plural!) they have announced for their upcoming 2014/2015 fall season. And, notably, there are several new series in the group with more than a passing Furry interest. Featured in the article is the new series Over the Garden Wall. “Cartoon Network’s first event mini-series, an animated comedy/fantasy story about two brothers, Wirt and Greg, who are trapped in a mysterious world. In this ten-part mini-series, Wirt and Greg must travel across this strange land until they find their way home, aided by a wise old Woodsman who gives them directions and a bluebird named Beatrice.” Next up is We Bare Bears, “…a comedy about three bear siblings, named Grizzly, Panda and Ice Bear. Each episode follows their awkward attempts at assimilating into human society, whether they’re looking for food, trying to make human friends, or scheming to become internet famous.” In Numb Chucks, “Woodchuck brothers Dilweed and Fungus didn’t always see themselves as mystical Kung Fu saviors until they stumbled upon an infomercial featuring mega legend Woodchuck Morris’ mullet-fueled motivational kung-fu video”.  More familiar characters returning to TV include The Tom & Jerry Show (a new series of cartoon shorts from Warner Brothers), Be Cool Scooby Doo, Bugs Bunny returning with “new friends” Bigfoot and Squeaks the squirrel in Wabbit, and Sonic the Hedgehog in Sonic Boom. Check out the article for more detailed information on each of these and others.

Commission Help

Furry Reddit - Wed 12 Mar 2014 - 00:02

So I've been coming up with a species of my own and I want to make a ref sheet of my character of that species. Now for the hard part, I need someone who can do basic animation (By basic animation I mean like twinkling stars and the occasional shooting star) as well as be ok with NSFW stuff. It would also help if you had skype. I will of course pay but price and method will have to be discussed (I don't have paypal so yeah).

Need Some Advice, just finished my first yarn tail

Furry Reddit - Tue 11 Mar 2014 - 22:38

I just finished my first yarn tail, and it feels great to wear, but I have no idea how to care for it. I have a couple questions.

  • Where do I put my tail when I sit down? Tuck it between my legs, put it off to the side, or what?
  • What happens if my tail gets wet?
  • How do I clean my tail of it were to pick up dirt from the ground?

And if you have any other pieces of advice for me with caring for my tail, it would be much appreciated. It's a red fox tail (w/ a white tip) that hangs halfway between my knees and the ground.

Here's a Picture

Looking for a figurine (nsfw)

Furry Reddit - Tue 11 Mar 2014 - 20:44

http://pawsru.org/f/res/114155.html#114155

This and http://bmwweb3.nobody.jp/manba.html are the only leads we have so far. We've been trying to find out how to obtain one, however it seems we can only get it from Japan.

We clearly don't live in Japan and it doesn't ship to the US. Has anyone found a place or a way to get this, or does anyone have one they want to trade and/or sell?

Thanks!

Learn to Lucid Dream Furries!

Furry Reddit - Tue 11 Mar 2014 - 18:07

If you have ever had a furry type fantasies I highly recommend learning how to lucid dream! I have been lurking around in /r/lucidDreaming for awhile now and can finally say I've met, felt, and bonded with my favorite anthropomorphic character.

I wish I could find the words to describe how amazing the experience was. I felt everything from her tail wrapped around my waist to her fur against my skin... it was exactly how I imagined it would be.

It might take some time to get the hang of it, but please at least give it a try.

For a relatively SFW subreddit, knot jokes are inappropriate and don't exactly help our reputation.

Furry Reddit - Tue 11 Mar 2014 - 16:01

Just what it says in the title.

Knots.

As in dog dicks.

Which is basically the general public's distorted view of furries - people who like animal genitalia. Which is not at all accurate.

Do we really want to confirm the stereotypes presented by mass media? Is there any way at all, that can possibly backfire or spark hostility towards us?

Open discussion about the topic wanted

EDIT

Pros: Outsiders not seeing animal genitalia jokes.

Cons: Self Cencorship is a bad thing that goes against core principles in the fandom.

Argument: Knot jokes are not actual content and could be considered spam.

They are also NSFW by their very nature and might not be fitting for this subreddit

Counterargument: Mainly furries come here.

Counterargument 2: Furries actually like knot jokes. Why not have our fun?

He Enjoys the Smell of Skunk

Ask Papabear - Tue 11 Mar 2014 - 11:27
Papabear,

For years now, I've wanted to get sprayed by a skunk. I've smelled the scent on the wind and the thought of getting skunked and taking a tomato juice bath arouses me. Still, I don't want others around me to suffer from the smell. Should I try to get sprayed or even be honest with those I’m living with about my desire?

Angus

Dear Angus,

Some reading this might think your love of skunk spray is odd, but it does have validity. Interestingly, there have been studies on this, and while most people find skunk spray repellant, a small minority of people find the scent very pleasurable. This has a lot to do with how people are wired. It’s kind of like how some people get physical pleasure out of pain (though your interest is not so extreme as that, of course).

There are other smells that some people love while others hate, including horse manure, gasoline, mildew, body odor, and pipe or cigar smoke (I actually like pipe and cigar smoke but not cigarette smoke). Scientists who get government grants to research such things (your tax money at work) have come up with two theories: 1) it is a genetic predisposition, and 2) it is a learned behavior. Of these two theories, the second one is supported more by experimental research.

So, first of all, wanted to emphasize that you are not a weirdo for liking skunk smell. In fact, you are attracted to the musk scent in the oils of the skunk’s glands, which, interestingly, perfume and cologne manufacturers often use in their products! It is used not only for the musk component but because the chemical in it (butyl mercaptan) is a scent adherent (that’s why it’s hard to get off) that makes perfume scent last longer. Secondly, I congratulate you for being considerate of other people’s needs and that getting yourself sprayed and not cleaning it off would lose you a lot of friends. 

What you can do is this: don’t try to find a wild skunk and get yourself sprayed (there is, after all, the possibility of being exposed to diseases a wild animal might be carrying, not to mention that harassing wild animals is not a good idea.) Instead, go to a local outdoorsman store (e.g. Cabela’s; hunters use it to mask their human odor from their prey) and you can purchase skunk scent in a bottle. I even found a website called SaveOnScents.com where you can purchase it (http://www.saveonscents.com/product_info.php/products_id/4831). You can then squirt some of the oil onto a handkerchief, for instance, and smell it at your leisure when you are not with others who might find it unpleasant.

As for telling others, I wouldn't make it a big deal. If the subject ever does come up, for some odd reason, in conversation you can nonchalantly mention that you like the smell of skunk, no biggie.

I think that would be the best solution for you, Angus!

Hugs,

Papabear
