Word is out around Hollywood that 80′s favorite ALF will be coming to the big screen finally. In case you need a refresher: “ALF stands for Alien Life Form, and the ’80s sitcom centered on a friendly furry alien creature (a puppet) who crash landed on Earth and took up with the Tanners, a suburban family. ALF, whose name was later revealed as Gordon Shumway, is sarcastic and has an appetite for cats. He courts trouble with government forces that are on his tail.” According to the article in Hollywood Reporter (and elsewhere), Jordan Kerner — who produced last year’s hit movie The Smurfs — was pegged by Sony Pictures to produce the new picture. Again, it will be a live-action feature film with ALF himself as a CGI character. Tom Patchett and Paul Fusco, creators of the original TV series,  will be involved as co-producers. Paul Fusco was also ALF’s main puppeteer and voice actor, and he’s expected to be the character voice for the new film as well. So far there’s no word as to a main script writer, a director, or a planned release date… but watch your cats just in case.

Dear Papabear,

I've been in a relationship for about 3 years, but then my mate and I recently broke up due to an argument. I was angry that night, but I woke up the next morning regretting our decision to end it, so I talked to him about it. He said he didn't want to get back with me until he matured a little. I understand his decision and I'll wait for him, but I'm afraid of one of two things happening:

1. Once he matures, he'll realize I'm not good enough for him and move on, or

2. He'll take too long and I'll move on.

I'm afraid of moving on, I've loved this man for so long and I don't want to imagine my life without him. To make matters worse, one of my friends confessed that he has a crush on me. I really don't know what to do! With college being just around the corner, my life is changing quickly and this doesn't make anything better. 

Sincerely, a stressed wolf.

Dear Stressed,

If you are afraid of moving on, then the second option you outline seems unlikely; don’t worry about that one.  As for number one, if you really have such bad self-esteem that you don’t think you’re good enough for your former mate, he will probably pick up on that feeling and not come back to you. You sound pretty certain you are not up to his standards, and that kind of attitude will sabotage a relationship really quickly.

Next you say that someone having a crush on you “makes matters worse.” Wow, what a negative way of putting it. It should be flattering to you that someone is attracted to you, but I know what you really mean is that this makes matters more complicated. Of course, it wouldn’t actually make things more complicated if you were not enamored by this other potential suitor, too. You see, if you were not attracted to this other person, it would be a non-issue because then you could just say, “I’m very flattered you feel this way about me, but, I’m sorry, I’m still in love with my ex and I hope we get back together.” Or something to that effect.

Sounds to Papabear that what you are truly afraid of is change: your breakup with your former mate and your upcoming college years and the prospects of other possible relationships.

My dear wolf friend, do not be afraid of change. If you become paralyzed with fear because things are changing, you will not be able to live your life. Change happens, and a big part of maturing is dealing with that change, adapting to it, and growing as a person. If we do not grow, we stagnate and wither away.

Now, if true love really resides within your heart for the mate you broke up with, the two of you will get together, inevitably.  But don’t cling to your former love just because you were comfortable with that person and are afraid of change. Perhaps the two of you need to go off to school and mature, as you said, and then you will come back together and reestablish your relationship. But perhaps not.

Either way, it is time for you to look ahead and not behind. Get ready for college and find something to study that you really love. You need to focus on your future right now, make new friends, experience new adventures.  Learn to get excited about change and all the possibilities change can bring. This will make you a stronger person, someone who believes in furself and feels worthy of love. At that point, love will come.

Hugs,

Papabear

Thought she was just your everyday cat girl, but turns out shes a furry. Seeing how she is really into it, I need some tips on how to make this furry girl happy!

Oh and I draw a lot but never drawn animal-people before. Can someone show me a guide on how to draw furry people?

Just popping in to put the word out about /r/lapfoxtrax. I've finally gotten around to finishing up the styling I was working on for it and have been putting out the word to grow our subs :D

I'm sure there are at least a few fans in this subreddit, so if are, hopefully you'll join us over there and help us grow!

If you've never heard of Renard, he produces music under a number of aliases, with a different alias and fursona for each different genre he produces.

His older music is on YouTube under nsrrenard and his more recent work is under Lapfox Official.

Hope to see some of you around /r/lapfoxtrax soon! :)

Oh shit it’s another Camp Feral video this one is 7 of the 8, which means Feral is only a week away! Check out the other videos of course and thumbs up it. This episode has some more crazynes and N.A.Y.O makes his “wow he is real” video appearance. The acting is better now and the laughs just as rough. Hope the last video gives us more insight on what is going on and maybe some special effects? YAY FERAL!! This year will rock with so many new furries and special guests I can’t wait!!

So I have posted before “Someone I used to know” by Goyte and the amazing video by Colson, Foxamoore and video by Blender. Now with the YouTube fans of Goyte out there, some guy created an amazing piece with the group of you tubers from all over playing the song. The video has over a million videos in a few days, so it did good for itself. Colson and group got their spot at about 5mins in and it’s still my fav. one! Check out the site here too.

Hello everyone, I recently have become a part of this furry fandom and I just had a question for everyone here. If I wanted to get to know this community even more, what are some sites I can visit to learn more about this community? I'd really appreciate any help you guys can give me and I'll be patiently waiting for your replies. Love, Owsie<3

Dear Papabear,

Lately I've been feeling unsure about what to do.

I have two fur-parents, whom I love so very much. I visit them often, and often I end up feeling depressed. I’ve just been feeling alone, because they have each other and, I haven't got anybody to call my own or the sort, I haven't got a mate. So when I'm around them I end up just getting a little depressed, because they're so happy together and there's no one for me to be like that with. They know about how I feel, but of course there's nothing that they can do, it's not like they can just stop loving each other when I'm around.

So I'm not sure what to do about it, I don't want to be depressed about it, but I don't know how to just stop feeling like that.

We've talked about it, and I know that I've got people that love me back, but as friends and family, but there's the one kind that's not there that makes me feel upset.

It probably doesn't help that I might have a bit of a crush on one of them but I know very well that they are together and I'm no reason for them to separate. They're happy together and I don't want to change that.

But what do I do?

-Blitz.

Dear Blitz,

Jealousy is a rather ugly thing and something to be avoided at all costs, whether it is jealousy for another furry’s shiny or for another furry’s mate. You must immediately try and get over any kind of crush you might have on this fur-parent of yours.  Papabear realizes you told yourself you don’t want to break up their relationship, but even entertaining the slightest thought of love for this person is a HUGE red flag and you need to back off of it right away. Not doing so will lead to nothing but misery for all three of you.

That said, Papabear understands the yearning for a mate and how not having one can make you feel depressed and anxious.  I’ve seen a number of furries get this way, and after a while they start to exude a positively sickening stink of desperation about them, an aura if you will, that drives off others who might otherwise have been interested in them.

What you need, Blitz, is to take a break from this obsession with finding a mate and focus on yourself: your school, your work, your hobbies, self-improvement in general. Some people don’t feel complete without a mate, but that is often because they haven’t bothered to complete themselves yet.  The picture of the well-adjusted person is someone who enjoys the pleasure his or her own company.  Can you say that about yourself, Blitz? 

This doesn’t mean you are self-involved and selfish, no, not at all.  It means that you have come to a point where you are not needy.  The problem with being needy is that you often glomp on to someone who isn’t right for you just because they seem willing to be with you, which can lead to an unhealthy relationship indeed, and many regrets.

Being at peace with yourself will also allow you to be happy and rejoice in your fur-parents love for each other, rather than getting depressed by it.

Papabear is a strong believer in the idea that Love finds you, not the other way around. This happens when you are involved in activities that include lots of other people and they see you as someone who is happy and content with herself. This is a very attractive characteristic in someone that will cause people—including potential mates—to gravitate toward you.

Trust in love, and it will find you. In the meantime, chill out and enjoy life itself and all the things it has to offer.

Hugs,

Papabear
