For my cakeday here is my fursona by Lucieth
Tumblr furry looking for fresh artists/friends.
Coming out? How should I do it, and should I even do it?
My family has always been pretty accepting, as far as sexuality goes. I came out to them as trans & pansexual, and they seemed completely alright with it. I kind of want to let them know that I'm a furry as well, but I'm not sure how to go about it. I feel like the media's representation of furries would cause them to have a negative response. How can I prevent this? Or is it even worth it to tell them?
On a side note, I have talked to my younger brothers about furries before, and I know at least one of them is one himself (I can't remember which). So this post is more asking about coming out to my mother; I feel confident that I could come out to my brothers without consequence.

Dealing with an LDR breakup
So, I know a lot of furries are active in long distance relationships, as I was myself. I met this guy my age on the forum 'FurryTeens'. Yes, I am a teenager. And, for the last 5 months, we've been in a long distance relationship, skyping every night, texting 24/7, we were madly in love. Or so I thought. He was amazing, I absolutely loved him and every part of him. My parents liked him too, my father and I made plans to road trip up to see him (we had already met IRL). But, today, he called me. * He said he had been feeling like we were incompatible for awhile, which came as a huge shock to me. I... I just don't know how to deal with this. Of course I still have feelings for him, I still love him. I just don't know what the wisest course of action is.
Now, I know I'm probably going to get downvoted for posting relationship stuff in the furry forum, but, you guys are such a nice and wise bunch, I was just hoping to get some advice. Thanks in advance <3
- just a side note, things had been going on before. He would randomly get really depressed or angry, and would never tell me why. He would always say "If I told you, it would hurt you." Or the whole "You deserve someone better". I had always thought that was just him not in his right mind, but looking back, I think it was just him wanting to break up to too scared of hurting me to tell me. So, I was always very sweet and tried to cheer him up, and tell him 'We'll get through this. And I again, I was oblivious to what really was going to happen. So needless to say, I'm crushed. And he told me he liked me, just not as a partner. And I get that, except for the fact that we were in a relationship for shy of half a year. And, I'm probably just over-thinking everything at this point, but was this whole thing for waste?
I came out to my parents not because he asked me too, but to show how amazing he was, and because I knew he was going to make an impact on my life, and they deserved to know about it. I bought him birthday gifts, and never received one. I loved him, and poured my heart and soul into him. I still love him. But it's crushing me to know, it might've been for waste. ;~;

10-Year-Old Furry Is Afraid to Tell Parents
I recently found out about furries ad I have became one because it makes me feel good and no longer shy. I have tails I use but I don't know how to explain to parents... I'm very nervous.

Hi, Sweetie,
I think you’re about the youngest furry to write me so far. Nice to hear from you :-3
The problem a lot of new furries seem to have is that they buy into the notion that being a furry is somehow bad or wrong just because it is not something most people do. Getting your mom and dad to understand that being a furry is just a fun thing and not a threat or scary in any way should be as simple as saying, “Hey, Mom and Dad, guess what? I like Bugs Bunny cartoons!” Who would be upset by that? And, as for wearing a tail and such, playing “dress up” is part of most kids’ childhoods, even those who aren’t furries.
I’d like you to watch this video from my friends at FurMedia. It is a parent explaining her reactions to and acceptance of her furry children:
http://www.livestream.com/furmedia/video?clipId=pla_415ae6b2-e180-473e-a5e2-6541276fc511&utm_source=lslibrary&utm_medium=ui-thumb
You can show that to your parents, if you like.
As I’ve said in other letters, of course, telling your family about your furriness also depends on how open-minded they are. Some parents are very controlling, protective, and offended by anything out of the ordinary; other parents—the good ones—will see that being a furry makes you happy and they will support you. If your parents are like that, there is nothing to fear.
You can also aid in this process by learning more about furry and its history. You know, modern furry began simply as a bunch of sci-fi/fantasy buffs who liked anthropomorphic characters. They got together talked about books and movies that had characters who were animals but could also talk or had other human qualities. It continued from there to what it is today: an incredibly diverse fandom with people in it who have a wide range of interests.
Caution your parents that not all furries are the same, and make it clear to them what kind of furry you are.
If it will help, tell your parents they can write to Papabear and ask questions about the fandom. I would be happy to answer anything they would like to talk about.
Welcome to the fandom! Don’t be scared. You now have a furry family!

Animation: ‘The Boxtrolls’; are trolls anthropomorphic?
Maybe fellow furs can help?
I've been a fur for years, and I've been different furs. But I just haven't found what Fursona is perfect for me. I know I want something unique...but what?! Ideas from fellow furs maybe?

My friend is doing awesome themed trading card commissions, check her out!
http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/4691784/
Hey, y'all! My friend is doing some really cool little trading card (think almost like a badge, if you are having a hard time picturing it) commissions, and still has quite a few slots left. I think her art is really awesome, personally, and at the very least you guys could check her out. Made this a text post so you don't think I'm trying to karma reap for art or anything like that. Check her stuff out, give her a commission if you like her stuff, or at least a watch!
