Roleplaying?

Furry Reddit - Wed 20 Feb 2013 - 17:24

I was wondering if any redditfurs here know of places/know of people/would want to roleplay.

I, personally, opt for the "safe for pup" roleplay situations. Like... adventuresome stuffs, snuggles, etcetera. Safe for work... ish. PG-13.

Do you know of anywhere where I could do such a thing/meet people who would like to? And/or would /youuuuuuu/, valuable redditfur, like to participate in such thingsssss?

Thanks for your help! Happy tailwagging!

( if you want an example of such stuff that I'm referring to here's a link yay )

Edit: Clarification: I mean online roleplaying.

He Wants to Regain His Childhood

Ask Papabear - Wed 20 Feb 2013 - 12:31
Hi, papa bear.

How appropriate the advice site is named papa bear, for the question I have to ask you has precisely to do with that.

I lost my papa when I was around 2 years old [Papabear note: he is 20 now] and since then I've been looking to have someone be a paternal figure to me. Along with that, I've been experiencing strong urges to recreate my early childhood of which I barely have memories. In other words I want to have my papa back, I want to get my early childhood back, I want to laugh all my cares away, redo my life like it was a crayon-drawn sketch.

It's a really cute and adorable dream depicted like that; however, it always hardens a knot to my chest (one I have since I turned 13) and I can't help to tear up at times.

I want to grow up as a person in society, be mature and fit in. But I don't want to let go of the childish traits that are part of me. What do I do?

Kyu

* * *

Dear Kyu,

I am so sorry for your loss—a hard thing to go through for any child, not to mention your mother, who, it sounds like, did not remarry and had to raise you by herself. It’s understandable that you would want to regain something you lost that should have been a part of you. Now that you are 20, though, it’s a bit late to be adopted by a father, although there are a lot of furries out there (and nonfurries) who really have a strong need to pal around with older men as mentors and father figures.

While you don’t want to pull a Michael Jackson, which would be rather scary, there is no reason you can’t indulge your inner child now and then. That could be a reason why you are a furry. A lot of the stuff that goes with being a furry is very childlike—loving cartoons, dressing up as an animals and such—so I bet you really enjoy that.

Note that I use the word “childlike” and not “childish.” Childish is a word that means immaturity, a state often characterized by selfishness, tantrums, and not being able to deal with adult life. Childlike means having a wonderful, colorful imagination, enjoying the ability to play and have fun, being honest and open, have a sense of wonder about the world.

You may have had to grow up too fast in life and missed some opportunities to play, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun as an adult. Look at me and other greymuzzles like me: I’m 47 and dress up as a bear! Most adults would say I’m nuts. I say I’m playful. At the same time, I work hard, pay bills, and do “responsible” stuff.

You can be both childlike and an adult, Kyu. I’m a living example of that. In fact, being a childlike furry will keep you young, I seriously believe, and make your adult life easier to get through. In the meantime, no law says you can’t find a mentor, a father figure in your life. I have a couple in mine who have helped me a lot over the years who have helped me both psychologically and spiritually.

So, Kyu, be responsible. Hold down a job, pay your taxes, and all that boring stuff. But also embrace your childlike side. Many adults don’t and this is the result: 
Picture Picture Picture Others do, and this is the result: 
Picture Picture Picture Which group would you rather associate with?

Hugs,

Papabear

Furry chatrooom- Looking for new members!

Furry Reddit - Wed 20 Feb 2013 - 11:03

Hi there :D

We have a small community chatroom used for roleplaying (both sexual and nonsexual) and are looking for new members! Our room can be found here

We are hoping to find members who are wanting to make friends and have fun without starting drama. The fandom being what it is, we have many gamers in our ranks (TF2 being very popular, as well as Pokemon, the Legend of Zelda series, etc.)

Our population is, as yet, fairly small. We consist of 20-25 regular visitors however our visiting hours are staggered so that there's generally only a small handful of people online at the same time during "off peak" hours. We have members across the US, Canada, Europe, and Australia.

Our room is available to all users, although with the content being sexual in nature sometimes we would like to keep the age line to mid/upper teens and above. We have a small team of moderators who enforce our sparing list of rules. These rules are:

1) Please respect your fellow housemates

2) Occasionally the moderators will host in-room events. You may not "god mod" these events. This will result in a silence or kick.

3) If you are being obnoxious, rude, disrepsectful, or anything of this type you might be warned either in public or by PM by a moderator. After 3 "strikes" you will be removed. If your offenses were enough to merit one, a ban will be issued. All kicks/silences/bans are subject to review, of course.

4) You may only have one character in this chat. If you wish to "swap mains" please speak with an admin or moderator.

As an aside- If you are engaging in yiff that is someone offcolor or disruptive to the group as a whole you may be asked to enter a seperate room. As with any sexual setting there are always acts or fetishes that are "looked down" upon but our team of moderators is intent on keeping a fair and level playing ground for all members. Asking you to move to another room is not meant as a sign of disrespect or personal issue, just a measure to keep the room as a fun place for everyone. Likewise, if you are in an argument with someone a moderator may silence both "guilty" parties and request you to join a seperate room to hash out the details of your argument alone. These seperate rooms are not "premium" Chatzy rooms, but we do make it a point to go back and wipe the history so that they remain somewhat private.

So please stop by and give us a visit sometime! Thanks for reading - Soledad

Does anyone have a copy of Monster?

Furry Reddit - Wed 20 Feb 2013 - 09:57

It was a 2D Fighting game.

http://wiki.shoryuken.com/Monster

I can't find my copy, I swear I looked everywhere, even in an old removable HDD that I save everything on from a decade ago across all the computers I've owned. (re-discovered a lot of old commissions I'd forgotten about and some old music I loved way back when)

Does ANYONE have it laying around somewhere? I would adore if you could DropBox it for me.

Fursona in the Making

Furry Reddit - Wed 20 Feb 2013 - 03:42

So! I'm having a bit on an issue here. I've changed my fursona twice thus far, a polar bear, and then a red panda. But now I'm questioning it, AGAIN. At first I was trying to pick something unique, but then a friend told me to pick something that you've always wanted to be. Well I've always wanted to be a cat, but I just didn't want to be something so many furs are. I understand to pick what I (underline the I there.) want to be. I'm just getting rather frustrated trying to find something. I was curious if you guys had any advice on how you got to your permanent fursona.

Edit: Thank you everyone! I'll have to think about this now, but you all have put me on the right track. group huggles

Coming from the 24th-and-a-Half CEN-tury…!

In-Fur-Nation - Wed 20 Feb 2013 - 02:06

The Duck Dodgers TV series — based, as if you didn’t know, on the Chuck Jones-directed cartoon Duck Dodgers in the 24th 1/2 Century — ran on Cartoon Network from 2003 to 2005. [My, was it really that long ago?  Sheesh... Ye ed-otter] Besides the obvious cast of Daffy Duck as Duck Dodgers, Porky Pig as The Eager Young Space Cadet, and Marvin the Martian as the terrible Commander X-2, the show featured a host of Warner Brothers characters in bit roles — not to mention new characters like the dreaded Martian Queen. The regular voice cast included well-known voice actors like Joe Alaskey, Bob Bergen, Richard McGonagle, and John O’Hurley, as well as Michael Dorn (from Star Trek: The Next Generation) and Tia Carrere (as the Martian Queen). Now Warner Brothers Home Video have (finally!) released the first 13 episodes on DVD in a collection entitled Duck Dodgers – Season 1: Dark Side of the Duck. It’s available now in stores and on-line everywhere.

What makes a furry tick?

Furry Reddit - Tue 19 Feb 2013 - 22:18

Recently I have been wondering why do I like what I like? Why did I chose to be a fox and share myself with a community of other people that believe they are animals? Was it for fun? Is it because mentally there is something there? What makes me believe what I do? Is there really anything psychologically there that makes a furry a furry?

Been to a few meetups.. Now I'm going to my first Con. Need advice.

Furry Reddit - Tue 19 Feb 2013 - 18:31

Hi.. Kinda new-ish here. Been a lurker for awhile, but eventually I just started posting. I have been a closet case fur for awhile. Well, finally came out of the fur closet. It helps my fiance and roommate also are furries, and one is a fursuiter.

But I've never been to a furry convention. Neither have they. As I'm the type who goes and does tons of research beforehand so I can be prepared. Any comforts or advice I can get so I don't Spazz out like I usually do?
