Male Furry Confused about His Attraction for Another Man
Boyfriend and His Father Want Him in a Three-Way
Is anyone doing requests?
I don't have much money (I've been spending it on items for my furry cosplay) and I wanted to know if anyone might want to draw my Fursona in a different style for me please :D? It would be much appreciated and I could recommend you to my friends and maybe you could make some commissions from them ^ If anyone can, that would mean a lot. If not, then I understand (pics of my fursona will be coming up in a separate link post. (the pic on the right has the right details (such as hair color and and all, they are both different styles my friends drew for me)

Fuzzy Logic: Episode 89 – TIIIIIIIME
Action Figures Like You’ve Never Seen
Four Horsemen Studios is a group of radical toy designers who cut their teeth working for McFarlane Toys back in the 1990′s. Now on their own, they have created several series of original, very different action figures — several of which are very very furry in nature. The Seventh Kingdom series (shown below) outlines a world of battling tribes of various species all vying for control of a conquering magick. Meanwhile Power Lords is a series of unique bird-based warrior action figures, some of which have available wing add-ons available as well. Visit the Four Horsemen web site to see more of their designs and find out what they’re working on next.

Laika Believes Gets Funded
Earlier I had reported on "Laika Believes: The Sun at Night" an episodic 2D action game featuring Russia's first doggy astronaut in an alternate history. Earlier the folks at Minicore Studios behind the game were seeking to raise an additional $100,000 from Kickstarter to fund the project. Well some good news has come in as Minicore has received private funding according to an official statement from the fundraiser's official page. Minicore CEO John Warran gave the following statement.
"Not too long after our Kickstarter launched we reached a deal to privately fund major aspects of remaining development for Laika Believes. We didn't get those details finalized until last week, so we wanted to keep the Kickstarter up in case something different happened. This might leave you asking: "well why did you start a Kickstarter if you were trying to privately fund the game?"
A few quick notes. Aside from lots of design duties, my job is to make sure we can continue development of what we're working on. This means, essentially, always being open to different funding sources. At the time our Kickstarter campaign launched, Kickstarter was our best option. We're happy to be funded no matter what, but it was rather unexpected that we'd be able to privately fund what we were asking for. However, we're not at all regretful that we started out with this campaign, because because meeting and getting to talk to folks excited about Laika Believes is awesome."
Not long after this statement Minicore explains further plans for Laika Believes and has started another Kickstarter in the hopes of raising $20,000 more for the purposes of further enhancing the game's sound design and looking into localization for numerous territories given that the game has shown a good amount of appeal from players all over the world. If Minicore can raise enough cash they plan to include language options for Russian and Spanish with others to follow. There are also rumors that Minicore may attempt to bring Laika Believes to consoles given the recent developments with Xbox One and Microsoft's descision to self publish.
Currently Minicore plans to bring Laika Believes to the PC with no release date currently set. As always I'll keep my ears perked for more news and developments of this exciting looking game.

It’s ‘fur’ a good cause
Here is an article from July 31, in the London Community News. (London, Ontario, Canada, not London, England.)
http://www.londoncommunitynews.com/news-story/3904019-it-s-fur-a-good-cause/
Concerning this weekend's Condition convention, the article is an interview with Condition organiser Ryan "Frostscar" Bruce.
It’s fuzzy, it’s fun and it’s for a good cause.
In the past four years, London’s Condition: Furry convention has raised more than $22,000 for charity and organizer Ryan Bruce is hoping to add to that total when the event returns next month.
The three-day convention, one of three major annual events for furries in southern Ontario, takes place Aug. 2-4 at the Four Points by Sheraton on -Wellington Road.
Bruce said about 300 people tend to come out for the charity auction, games and other events (including a costumed hockey tournament on the Friday), but mostly they’re there just to network with people who have similar interests.
There will also be a sponsor lounge where participants can pay a little extra for Iron Spike beer, food and the themed punch, which this year is called Wasteland Water.
“It should be grey this year,” Bruce said. “The colour is never pleasing, but it tastes good.”
A wildlife expert will be bringing in “ambassador” animals, ones that can’t return to the wild, but are well enough to serve an educational purpose, from the Salthaven Wildlife Rehabilitation and Eduction Centre to the convention to visit.
The convention is open to anyone, but registration is required, and minors need written permission from a parent or guardian.
Furries are fans of fictional anthropomorphic animal characters with human personalities and characteristics. Many construct or buy costumes based on characters of their own imagining for events such as the upcoming convention and adopt created names. Bruce’s is Frostscar, for example.
“It’s fun for the same reason people like to ski,” Bruce said. “Because they like doing it. (The convention) isn’t huge yet so that lets us do more personal, local stuff.”
Bruce has been costuming for about eight years. He started in anime-style dress, but switched to the furry dominion because it’s easier to meet people at the smaller events.
“It’s easy to lose yourself at Anime North or FanEx, where there are 90,000 people there,” he said. “Plus you’re not wearing someone else’s character (as is the case with Star Wars costuming). I liked the art and started building suits about six years ago.”
He now builds suits to sell to other furries, having completed about 20 to date.
The convention is open to anime fans as well, and members of the London Rogues Star Wars costuming club tend to show up.
The funds raised by the event go to Salthaven to be used toward the construction of a new centre on donated land north of London.
According to Bruce, Condition: Furry event averages the highest charitable donation per person for a furry event in Canada at about $42 each.
“As good as $10,000 is, it’s a drop in the bucket when it comes to building new facilities.”
Bruce said London furries tend to hold bi-weekly meetings during the year, take part in other charity events, many for children, like the Walk for Autism with the London Rogues.
“There’s nothing really set, it’s just kind of what comes up.”
For the past three years they have held a ski day for deaf/blind children at Boler Mountain.
“Being in a full suit is so hot, the skiing is probably the best thing we’ve done!”

Boyfriend and His Father Want Him in a Three-Way
It's me! Foxy!
It's been like what? More that a year since I last wrote?
Here's the deal. Xavier and I decided that I will sleep in his place until the break and I need a new scenery from the mansion. Xavier, my hunky lion boyfriend, just told me that his single father is coming home from work abroad. He also added he was formerly a soldier, and he is big and buff like him. Honestly I freaked out. How would his father react when he find out that his son is gay and I'm his partner? He also said that he's bi-curious ... bi-curious....
The day came and I met his father for the first time and Xavier just blurt it. I froze like ice and I just got a pat on the shoulder by his father. Wait, what? No screaming or long talks? Days passed and I noticed that his father is giving the looks... Not the aggressive look, but the sexy look. He shows up shirtless and sometimes only in undies and when chance permits it he pats my buns. Xavier said that he's just teasing me.... I can't help to think, “Is he hitting on me?”
"Dad's got his urges under control that is until the first time he sees you! My advice, He likes it vanilla and dislikes entering and being entered, like me but you already know that. Don't start without me around, he can get rough sometimes... and I might join in! Hehehe..." Xaviers says.
Wow Xavier likes those and I can't believe his father too. Like father, like son.
Should I or should I not... I dunno... Help!
Signed,
Foxy the Blessed... and the Mortified.
PS. Xavier and I already... uhm... did “those”... me giving him bj's and romantic frotts. Now I'm embarrassed...
* * *
Hi, Foxy,
You know Papabear. I’m quite Wiccan when it comes to personal choices, feeling that if you aren’t hurting anyone then whatever you might want to do should be okay. But the “anyone” includes you. You did not ask for Xavier’s dad to make sexual advances on you and you are clearly uncomfortable with this, based on your letter. From what you have written, I would say, yes, he’s hitting on you. Your boyfriend seems cool with it, as long as you and his father don’t play without him.
*Deep breath.* Papabear would advise against this. I’m not thumping a Bible and saying it’s immoral, but it’s not a good idea. You would be opening up a huge can of worms. One of the biggest psychological rivalries in human families is the one between a father and son, even those that get along. There is always the comparison factor, such as the son feeling he doesn’t make his dad proud, or even the father being jealous that, say, the son did better at sports than he did when he was his son’s age. Now, take that natural competition into the bedroom, and you are potentially striking a match over a barrel full of gun powder. Even if it goes well at first, jealousies could ignite. Your boyfriend could easily get jealous if you seem to like his dad in some way. In order to avoid this, you would have to be sure not to enjoy his father’s attentions very much, which would no doubt upset the father, and on and on.
If the father, as your bf says, can control himself, then he should do so. Just because you are gay and the father is “bi curious” doesn’t give him a license to make the moves on you. Discourage such things as his patting your buns or touching you in other inappropriate ways. I’m not a prude—good Lord, no—but to my sensibilities there is something really wrong with a man who hits on his own son’s boyfriend.
There is something else oddly suspicious, too. Xavier’s dad’s reaction when his son “blurted” out that he was gay and you’re his boyfriend. No reaction, just a shrug. This tells me that his dad already knew, which makes me think that Xavier and Daddy had a convo about this on the phone and made plans about playing with you. Possible? Yes. True? I don’t really know, but if I had Spidey Sense it would be crackling through every nerve in my body right now.
So ask yourself, “Am I attracted to his father? Do I want to have a three-way with them both?” My guess is you do not, and you just want to be with your boyfriend. Is Papabear right? If so, you should not allow yourself to be pressured into this. And you should tell your boyfriend that his father is making you uncomfortable and you would like to move out now. You only want to be with him, Xavier, not with his dad. If Xavier for some reason does not respect that, then write to me again because you have a major problem.
On the other paw, if you LIKE this idea, then Papabear will not judge you. However, be very careful where you tread as the path ahead of you is loaded with mine fields.
Good luck,
Papabear
My sincere apology to /r/FeralApparel. Get in that subreddit, it deserves a second chance! [NSFW self shaming, grab your popcorn]
About a month ago, a new furry subreddit was born. /r/FeralApparel
As the admin of the then also recent /r/furry_catwalk, I felt cheated, betrayed since our two subreddits seemed to be redundant one to another as it had a very broad and vague goal.
I whined and bitched about it in their very own subreddit like any proper retard would do.
So here I am, the absolute idiot who was even offered a moderator spot on their team, but instead turned down their offer like the ass-reeking shitmouth paranoiac doofus I amwas, begging you to forgive me for my evil misdirected dark deeds against this subreddit and, more importantly, forgive the subreddit /r/FeralApparel for how vague it was (Come to think of it, I was probably the only asshole thinking it was too vague and unclear).
Catwalk was initially not meant to be exclusively for artists, but it grew to be. Therefore, /r/FeralApparel HAS a purpose.
Catwalk did grow though, even though it started as a very lame seed, it now is a slowly growing, good looking subreddit. Something we cannot say of the horrible person that started it.
Give /r/FeralApparel the same chance catwalk had.
Throw me rotten tomatoes, fart in my general direction, but PLEASE, help /r/FeralApparel grow into a nice place with constructive feedback and insight for furry companies and businesses alike.
They deserve it.
