Hello Again Papabear,

I need your help. I am currently friends with two furs I know locally. These two have been childhood friends since before I moved to this town to be with my mate. The first one, who we will call the wolf, is about a twenty minute drive from where I live. The other, the bat, lives two blocks away from me, about a five minute walk. Currently these two are not on speaking terms and I am caught in the middle. Here is why.

Here recently, the bat has been living in uninhabitable conditions. Black Mold, leaking roof, and no heat have been making him and his mate sick. I offered to go with them to my landlord to see about getting them settled in an apartment in my complex. They complete moving on in Monday, November 26, 2012. But until then, they are living with me and my mate by request of my landlord. 

The wolf, however, feels that because we are housing these two, we are pulling away from her and becoming more friendly with the bat than her. By no means are we pulling away from her. I have explained this to her many times, but her insecurities keep her from honestly believing me.

This drama is also bleeding over onto another site that all three of us frequent. Fur Affinity (FA). I'm sure you have heard of it. The wolf bought the bat gift art and such while they were on speaking terms. Now that they are not, she is demanding that the bat give back all the art and such so she can gain back her "Losses". The wolf is threatening to go to admins of FA and the artists that made the gift art to have the bat take it down. He has taken counter measures himself by messaging the artists as well. 

TO CUT TO THE POINT!!!

I am stuck between these two who are now doing the whole "NO SHE IS MY FRIEND.... NO SHE IS MINE!!" stuff. I don't want to loose either of them as friends. I don't have many friends here as it is. 

(sorry for such a long read.)

Dear Blaze Neko,

*Deep breath.* Okay, this certainly falls into the category of “unnecessary drama.” The whole problem is entirely caused by wolf’s insecurities. You have already tried repeatedly to reassure her that you are her friend and she has nothing to worry about, but she is not buying that argument. The issue about the artwork between bat and wolf is their problem, not yours. Let them claw each other about that one, if they must. In bear’s opinion, though, wolf trying to take back the art is a very petty thing; she has no right to take back what was given, and, besides that, the argument was not about financial losses, so the gift should not come into play whatsoever.

Papabear understands that you do not wish to lose a friend. If I were you, I would go to her one more time. Explain that you have been her friend, but that she is actually driving you away by her uncalled-for actions. If you wish to go the extra mile, you might try to find out if there is something else going on in her life that is causing her to behave this way. If she at any point gives you an indication that she would like you to help her resolve her emotional issues, be there for her, but on condition she stop treating bat this way.

If she insists on being unreasonable, then, for your own sanity, I would suggest that you back away from wolf. Tell her exactly why. If she can’t be at least civil to your friend bat, then the you and wolf cannot be friends any more.

Sometimes, try as we might, we cannot keep people from being self-destructive and unfriendly. Wolf has to make a choice: will she grow up or will she insist on wallowing in her own self-pity? The answer should determine whether or not you continue your relationship with her. Don’t be so desperate for friendship that you stay friends with someone who makes you miserable. You deserve better.

Hugs,

Papabear

Have you ever wished there was a furry music station? Well here is your chance to check in and listen. Potoroo chairmen of Camp Feral has put together Episode 1 of “Fuzzy Notes” HEARD HERE. Basically it is what you hear, furry musicians and Potoroo giving you some narration on each. I’m pretty hooked and hope more episodes come out soon!

You guys loved my first post so I decided to scam... err... make some money off you guys! So here are my COMPLETELY reasonable prices!

Flat Color: 1 metaphorical internet dollar or your regional equivalent per pixel. Comes with an long explanation of how this is furry related. Example

Completely Unrelated Fridge Art: 523 Kajillion metaphorical internet dollars or your regional equivalent. Make a request for what you want and don't forget to be very detailed with your instructions. I will completely disregard these instructions and draw whatever the fuck I want. Comes with a magnet to hang it on your fridge while supplies last. Example

Totally Not Stolen Art: 19 Bajillion metaphorical internet dollars or your regional equivalent. Tell me what you want and I will use the magic of Google to draw you something that is somewhat related to what you requested. Please don't PM MY account that I uploaded my OWN image to. Example

Refrigerator Worthy Furry Art: 2790425870254 Katrilligillion metaphorical internet dollars or your regional equivalent. Your mother will be proud as fuck when she comes to visit your smelly apartment and she sees a beautifully drawn picture of a slutty fox taped to your fridge. Comes with a pizza grease soaked piece of tape so your mother thinks its actually your picture. Example

Epicly Photoshooped Photo: -6 Kentillion metaphorical internet dollars or your regional equivalent. Give me any number of pictures and I will create an AMAZING combination. The sheer unbeleiveableness that these images were once seperated proves that I am, in fact contrary to popular belief not using MS paint, but instead using that one $1000 program that all the professionals use! Example

Reference Sheet: 7 Sextillion metaphorical internet dollars or your regional equivalent. Tell me what your fursona looks like and I will draw it in a few different poses and put the 3 different colors I used in the bottom right. If your fursona is cute enough then you might get a little star sticker for being such a good little furry! :3 :D :) :( :0| Example

Really Colorful Drawing: 10 Lazorcatillion metaphorical internet dollars or your regional equivalent. Bring out the inner homosexual inside of you and buy this amazingly priced drawing guaranteed to have more than FIVE different colors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's more than four!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Note: it takes me a very long time to find a way to implement more than 3 colors naturally so the drawing may take up to 3 years to finish! This drawing I have been working on since before I came out of the womb! Example

LOL Cat: FREEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For all you poor people who can't afford to pay me 2790425870254 Katrilligillion metaphorical internet dollars or your regional equivalent. Example

tl;dr Learn to read you lazy bum!

Something made me think of this a while back and I'd really like to find it again. It was my favorite video to show people explaining the fandom.

I had it fav'd on youtube but the user removed it.

It was a fursuit skit from a con talent show some years back (maybe 5 years or so?)

It opened with a woman in pajamas and pig-tails dressed like a little girl and she was carrying a giant teddy bear.

There is no actual speaking, it's all pantomimed. The skit followed the girl as she grew up and left the bear behind in favor of a boyfriend. She and the boyfriend fight and he storms off. She stands there crying and someone in a fursuit matching the teddy bear walks up behind her. She sees him and they hug then happily skip off holding hands.

It had instrumental music in the background that matched the scenes beautifully.

I'm afraid it may not exist on the internet anymore since being removed from youtube, but hoping maybe someone else got a video of it or saved it or something.

It’s known as Posledny Autobus, which translates as The Last Bus. It was created in the Slovac Republic by Martin Snopek and Ivana Laucikova. It features human actors wearing animal heads, animated in stop motion. And here’s its description: “It’s the start of the hunting season. The animals of the forest board a small bus and flee to safety. When hunters stop the bus in the middle of the night, its passengers reveal their true natures in fear for their lives.” We don’t know what else we can tell you about this, other than to show you this little clip from Vimeo. This short film has already won several film festival awards in Europe.

It's a question popular for the furry fandom over the last few years - is it appropriate to pop your top in public spaces? Klik joins Roo and a very sick Tugs as they explore this highly divisive topic and attempt to discover what the best solution possible is for both sides of the argument. Afterward, all hell breaks loose: they open the reader mailbag, see the return of the game, discover Roo's sense of geography, and debate a listener's question about animal rights versus character traits. Hilarity ensues!



NOW LISTEN!

Heya, I've been a long time fur but still don't have any sort of reference sheet, I simply can't afford one. Every cent I make goes towards college or my car payment. Would Anyone out there be willing to make me one? I can't pay in money, but I'd be willing to do almost anything for you in return. Thank you :3
