Episode 195 - Fuzz Returns
Hey there, r/Furry!
Hmm...where to start. How about, "it's a confusing situation"?
Let's go. Ok, so, a few years ago, I stumbled upon furry art. And I liked it, I think it's adorable and cute and can, at times, be sexy. While I, myself, don't personally want to dress in a fursuit, I have fantasized about having a tail or paws, and think cat ears are adorable. (I think the only reason I haven't acted on these wants is that they probably wouldn't fit my body type :/)
And I have stooped into the...darker areas, doing cyber stuff...that being said, I couldn't ever pick one species to conform to who I was. (Is that normal, by the way?)
Sorry for this wall. Uhmm...Guess I just want some conversation! I guess I've stuck myself with the name Areto ("Air-ay-toe", in my head anyway).
Edit: Sorry, Guess I should say more about me. For you! Ok. I'm 18, and I'm a guy, and I'm gay. I'm around 6 feet tall, and can't draw for crap. Uhm...what else. v-v Sorry my brain isn't working. I like to cook, and read, and write sometimes. I'm in college, majoring in Biology. Uhmm... OH! And I live in North Carolina. Alright? Cool. And I play video games. Xbox, and KotOR on my PC. And runescape.

Fursuiting pro tip: Use velcro in your costume to scratch your nose, like the astronauts!
Is the producer of Beauty and the Beast afraid of furry fandom?
Just finished watching the pilot.... This? This is a "beast"? I guy who hulks out a bit and goes berserk when he's angry? So disappointed.
(What can I say... GRRM's Vincent was my first furry crush.)

CAN DO and DON’T DO
Frisky (MC_Frisky on FA) put up a great post for his “Dos” and “Don’ts” for his 7 year furry anniversary. I had to to post this here because this stuff is true to my belief too. Check it out (you’ll need to hit the “read more” button to see):
Dos
1. Try to get involved in your local furry community and be social: This one is probably the most important one, I mean its obvious that you’re going to want to make friends as soon as possible but I know local furry communities aren’t available to everyone. But when that day comes when you actually find someone close enough to you to hang out with, try not to be so shy. Must of the time they’ll probably be as shy as you are so its best to just relax and let the words flow.
2. Be Creative: Creative ideas are what fuel the fandom pretty much so feel free to contribute in any way shape or form, whether it be art, poetry, music, videos, fursuiting, event hosting etc. If you have a handful of characters, make sure to develop them and not leave them hanging. Let your imagination run free.
3. Stay away from drama at all costs: I apply this to my life all the time, that’s why I’m stress free. Unless people are bringing it directly to your doorstep or you got a friend caught in it and you feel the need to step in and help, stay away from the drama.
4. Be cautious of who you get close to: Now once you have your friends or even a potential love interest or two, its best to really get to know them first before you decided to dish out your trust because its possible to be super close to someone one day and then next thing you know, you don’t hear from them ever again. It happens, so just be wise about who you get attached to.
5. Try new things and be open-minded: Some people come in the fandom feeling reserved and used to a certain way of doing things but why not shake things up a bit by trying something different. It could be trying a new activity, going to a con or trying a new food or just something in general that’ll make you want to step out of your comfort zone briefly. New experiences are what keep life interesting, at least to me anyway.
6. Keep in touch with the gang: If you’re lucky than over time you’ll be forming some deep friendships that have potential to last a lifetime but what’s important in preserving them is staying connected. Some of my closest friends live far away but when we get back together it feels like no time has past, that’s really special.
7. Expand your horizons: The fandom is an awesome place to be that doesn’t mean you have to limit your life to it. There are people out there who only do things that are exclusively furry related and that’s just silly. It’s a hobby that can be pretty much applied anywhere and if it cant, that shouldn’t discourage you from trying something completely different. Go on, the fandom will be here when you get back.
Donts
1. Don’t take anything online too seriously: Anyone can sweet talk their way out of a paper bag online, real life is a different story. I guarantee you’ll save yourself a lot of heart ache if you think twice about if what these people are telling you is sincere or not. Their word might mean something now but in a short time it could mean absolutely nothing, just be cautious. This includes role play as well, no matter what you see written down does not mean that there’s genuine feeling behind it.
2. Don’t do a long distance relationship (At least til you meet them): I’m not knocking long distance relationships at all, I’m just suggesting to meet up first then see what happens.
3. Don’t blow all your money on commissions and cons: Seriously take priority in what you spend your money on, if you got overdue bills then it may not be best to buy that fursuit just yet.
4. Don’t get a fursuit for the wrong reasons: Speaking of which, if you’re buying one just to look cool, to fit in, or cause all your friends have one, then those are bad reasons. You should want to perform, be creative, or at least have a blast bringing your character to life.
5. Don’t be the one to test out if your friend is bi or not: It’ll lead to many complications
6. Don’t hold yourself back from doing what you want: Don’t let uncertainty bring you down, if there’s something you want to do then you do it, don’t let others discourage you either. It could range from talking to someone you admire or doing an act for the masquerade, you only live once right.
7. Don’t stay stuck on the internet: For real guys, its ok to live the laptops at home once in a while
Furry Streamer gets 2,500 viewers on Twitch, honestly surprised.
Furkay a German streamer/Youtuber is doing a 100% live walk-through of Majora's Mask.
Right now he is at 2,500 viewers which is a lot, he's beating Star City Games stream of a MTG Tournament.
Just felt like posting as I found it interesting and furry related.

Have we ever mentioned we love to get feedback? A few weeks ago we received a rather lengthy email in regards to our In a Furry World series, and since it had been a while since we talked about that, we decided to revisit that subject for a week.
We read a few of his questions and have a lot of discussion about that and other things. We also realize that the “terrible twos” can be a whole lot worse with canids. What do we mean? Listen to find out!

Weasyl is a new furry art site and it looks amazing. Anyone else in on it?
http://weasyl.com is the new art site for furries. Right now it's in beta, and only donators are allowed to register for accounts. You can go to their tumblr at http://weasyl.tumblr.com and donate $5 to get your own account. Or you can wait for when they turn on invites. When that happens, each already registered weasyl user gets (I think) 10 invites they can send out to people. From then on, (I believe) every user gets a set amount of invites per month, and users will slowly be flowing in.
I donated and got in just the other day. So far I can say the site is extremely smooth and easy to navigate-- I like it a lot. Have any of you checked it out, yet?
EDIT: Well for those who don't already know about weasyl, it's down for maintenance this weekend. I completely forgot. Bad timing on my part. But for people who already do know about it... What're your thoughts?

Fish Boy to the Rescue
This December Oni Press will present a new hardcover graphic novel, Mermin, Volume 1: Out of Water. This full-color all-ages comic was written and illustrated by Joey Weiser. “Mermin, the Merman from Mer!? That’s the question Pete and his friends ask after finding the fish-boy washed up on the beach! Mermin just escaped the undersea kingdome of Mer, and is ready to have some fun on dry land! But why would this aquatic kid be afraid to swim? Perhaps it has something to do with the fishy pursuers who have followed him from the depths below!” Joey discusses some of the creation process behind this new comic on his blog at Tragic Planet.
