Hi Mr. Bear,

I'm looking to get a better knowledge of the Otherkin / Therian groups. 

The main issues is all info I've found are basically just pieces of other "religions / way of thought" that are twisted to fit in the context.

I know your Paganist therefore I'm pretty sure you'll understand my "request."

I would like to know if you are aware of any site / forum / FB group that have information's about Therian and/or Otherkins that is just not Twisted info from other believes systems.

Or are they just that, an amalgam of other believes "twisted" into something "new"?

Thank you to have too the time to my question.

Best regards,

Anonymous

Greetings,

I signed you as “Anonymous” to protect your identity more than just your fursona name because I want to respond to your letter on the website. 

Papabear hears you saying that you are searching for what is the “ultimate” truth or definition of a Therian and for Otherkin because the sites you are finding on the Web are “twisted” to fit the perspective, I suppose, of each particular site’s creator.

This might be news to you, hon, but all belief systems are “twisted” to fit the views of those who create them. Whether you are talking about a religion, a philosophy, or a belief in elves or werewolves or, as I believe, a spiritual connection to them, these are all worldviews that come from us and, therefore, are all “twisted” based upon our experiences and our character.

Papabear’s understanding, when it comes to Otherkin, is that they believe they harbor the spirits of elves or fairies, or sometimes creatures like dragons or demons, that have originated from another world or parallel universe (well, that is one interpretation; there are others, probably); and Therians believe they can, in some manner, transform into another creature, sometimes physically, sometimes spiritually/mentally, depending on what they are, or simply that they, too, harbor the spirit of an animal within them, but these animals are based on creatures we see in this world, such as wolves or bears, instead of “mythological” beings. Some Therians believe in the idea that one can become a Therian and others believe you are born Therian. A better explanation can be found in the excellent Wikifur website at http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Otherkin. Even within the Otherkin and the Therian communities, there is debate about what it means to be an Otherkin or Therian; some people even say there is no big difference between the two (Granny Smith vs. Fuji Apples, instead of apples vs. oranges). 

In short, you will never find an ultimate truth about either one because there is none. This is not an atypical phenomenon in our world, either. People seem intent upon dividing themselves into every more individuated groups based upon their interpretations. That’s why, for example, the Christian Church divided into Catholics and Protestants, and then the Protestants further divided themselves into various denominations ad infinauseum.

This is not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, it is a good thing that people keep wondering about their world and coming up with new ways to try to understand it. This indicates a dynamic search for the Truth rather than a stagnant one. If you are a seeker of Truth, it would benefit you to learn about all of these schools of thought and then, once you have gathered the information, consider it carefully and draw your own conclusions. 

Remember, a well-considered and hard-earned belief system is better than a belief system that is simply parroted based upon what others have told you to believe. The information you get from books or the Web or from listening to others speak is the brick and mortar you can use to construct your own faith and philosophy. Some bricks you will find good and solid (e.g., The Golden Rule), while others you may wish to discard (e.g., priests can earn money, nuns cannot). The structure you may build might even have to be torn down once or twice and rebuilt again and again until you are happy with the results. (Then, as they say in my corner of the world, “It’s time to decorate!” JK)

So, no, Papabear does not know of any website that will satisfy your question about Otherkin and Therians. What is beautiful is you have the power inside you to discover your own truth.

Hugs,

Papabear

I need to draw a lot more than I have been but I've gotten sick of just drawing my own characters over and over and over. That's where you guys come in! Post any image of any character of yours and I'll whip something up for you. While full body refs are preferred, I can work from just a head image if you're fine with giving me the artistic freedom to fill in the blanks.

Some will be just sketches, some will be coloured and some will be from strange angles. It just depends on what I'm practicing at that time.

First come first serve!

Oh, and here's my DeviantART and Fur Affinity if anyone wants to see.

Edit: Forgot to mention I'm not doing humans! I don't like drawing them but will practice them at a later date. Furries only for now please c:

Edit 2: Drawing now, so I may reply slower :3

Edit 3: Gonna put a queue here for myself, people to see where there are and for anyone to see the finished results.

1. ACatNamedSilver - Done!
2. dominick- - Done! And it's hilarious.
3. darkenedzone - Done!
4. MetalDragon6666 - Done!
5. the_bi_lizard - Done!
6. wrincewind - Done!
7. Qupva
8. Yaaoh
9. uzzeee
10. RandomPotato
11. DrewDead
12. IronFox1288
13. No_not_the_monkey

To those that receive a freebie: you may do whatever you like with the image! Post it anywhere you like, just be sure to credit me c:

Edit 4: Finished for the night but I will continue these tomorrow, still open for freebies! Closed now, sorry!

Edit 5: Morning everyone! Wow, I don't think I've ever seen so many orangereds that aren't hatemail. Time to start drawing again!

To those wanting something without a ref: Sorry, but I'm not doing those at the moment. For now I just want to look at a ref and whip something up. When it comes to drawing a ref for someone, I want it to be nice and polished for them. These freebies here are nowhere near polished! So once I've gotten through all these I'll start up another freebies post specifically for those who are refless. Okidoki? c:

Edit 6: Gonna have to close off spots now, I have a bad habit of accepting lots of requests because it makes me so happy to do art for others. So much so I often go in over my head! I will continue to do the ones listed above over the next few days to keep me busy. Once those are done, I'll open a new freebies post!

MIPCOM, if you need to be reminded, is an annual event held in Cannes, France, where would-be television producers from all over the world attempt to sell their entertainment products to distributors — all over the world. Held every year in October, it’s a great place to find interesting and unusual TV shows — many of them furry, especially in children’s TV of course.  Among the new crop is a show called Boy and the Dinosaur, produced in the UK by 1461 Productions. Based on an original idea by Jason Harding, the show is overseen by Davey Moore, David Bunting, Paul Couvela, and Russell Dever. The idea is quite simple: A 4-year old boy (called simply “Boy”) loves dinosaurs, and one wishes very hard that he could have one for a friend. Lo and behold, one shows up — a big orange saurid simply named “Dinosaur”. The two get along swimmingly, and have many adventures. The show was picked up for international distribution by Foothill Entertainment, and season one is currently in production with a hopeful release date of 2014. According to the official web site, the show has also been profiled in Variety magazine.

Hi :3, Anyone can recommend me someone who can do an icon commision for me ? I dont know if there is anyone who does cheap icons, because I dont really have a lot of money (blame it on steam sales and that I can never save money because I waste it on random gadgets)... so, umm... I think I am asking for something imposible... I dont need icons which have shadding, I love the simple ones more than the ones with complex shading, and also, background is not important for me, complex backrounds dont look good for avatars/icons, if you use it on steam, then you cant really see anything anymore, except if you open your profile to see the avatar in full res (or what is the steam's max res limit).

Hello my fuzzy friends, I have come to ask clarification of what exactly is "Furry Lifestyling"? If you are a Furry Lifestyler what do you find makes you regard yourself as such?

Thanks comrades!

Edit/update: Wow. Thank you for all the responses. It seems the general, average thought is that lifestylers are essentially furries who see the fandom and everything furry as much more than just a hobby. Most furries seem to choose the hobby side.

Did I sum this up well?
