A Furry's Thoughts on: Normalcy
A couple days ago, I asked you all what “normal” meant. Some of you said it was boring. Some of you said it was the idea of the most common way an object is. Some of you said it was completely subjective and based on the person perceiving it. Some of you even went as far to say it was between two standard deviations. Personally, I believe normal means not deviating from the present society.
The definition of normal, according to the dictionary, is “1) (adj.) Conforming to a standard, typical, usual condition, (noun.) the usual, typical, standard condition an object is.” Of course there’s some mathematical stuff but that’s not important to the present discussion.
A lot of us came here, to the furry fandom, to find acceptance. Acceptance in behavior and/or sexual orientation. We are all different from the society that surrounds us right now. And some of us have trouble conforming to that.
This is the life of a normal person. He wakes up with his wife. Says he loves her, then cleans himself up. Meanwhile, the wife makes breakfast and lunch for her husband and children. The children get dressed, get school stuff together, then play until breakfast happens. The husband leaves, saying goodbye to wife and kids. Kids go to school and wife takes care of the house and other chores. The husband goes to work, some job at a computer, and sits there typing for ten hours so that a paycheck will come in a couple weeks. Sometime during it, he has lunch from his wife. After work, he comes home to greet wife, kids, and a dinner. Afterwards, he does recreation stuff like reading or playing with his kids or telling them to do homework for the thousandth time. Then he cleans himself up and goes to bed.
I doubt the situation above is what you all are living/planning to live. The truth is, that’s just what society wants us all to believe and do. Strip us of individuality and we’re all little happy bee drones going about, thinking we live a grand life despite stressors. That is not the case for most of us. We are all different.
I’ve read that the human body can produce around 36 physical variables that can be measured and the average figured out. Sure you may fit the average of one variable but it’s unlikely you’ll fit the next. For one person to fit in the average of all of the variables, being truly normal, is like a chance of one out of a million. It’s abnormal to be normal.
So for those of you who know being your own is awesome, keep doing that. You’ll get friends that like you for you and not for the mask of normalcy you hide behind. As for you all that have trouble trying to be normal, don’t. It’s obvious you can’t really be normal, at least not for the rest of your life. Just be who you are. Being normal’s overrated. It’s just an abstract concept everyone has that you don’t need to follow. Screw them, have a SO of the same sex if you want. Be who you want to be, and hopefully, that’ll make you better.
So in conclusion, the society we live in wants us to be normal. And that’s ok to a point. Some normalcy is needed for order. However, if the normalcy starts stripping you of your individuality and what truly makes you you, then forget it. Be yourself. As long as it doesn’t destroy the rest of society. We wouldn’t want that happening, would we?

Star Fox: The Animated Series - "Robotic Legs"
Furry's first 'sona art! Meet Tenebris!
It’s A Catastrophe!
[We are so, so sorry for that one…] Earlier this year you may recall we mentioned an upcoming animated feature called Blazing Samurai. Well now thanks to Cartoon Brew we have a lot more information about it! “Arriving stateside August 4, 2017, from AMC Entertainment and Regal Entertainment’s Open Road Films, Blazing Samurai stars Michael Cera, Samuel L. Jackson, Ricky Gervais, George Takei, Gabriel Iglesias, Aasif Mandvi, Djimon Hounsou, Michelle Yeoh, Sandra Tsing Loh, Mel B., Heavenly Joy Jerkins, and Mel Brooks himself as a madcap array of cats and dogs comedically battling for samurai supremacy not in the Wild West but the faraway Japanese East. Co-directed by Alvin and the Chipmunks and Garfield animation supervisor Chris Bailey and veteran Disney animator Mark Koetsier, Blazing Samurai also features art direction from New Mr. Peabody & Sherman Show and Steven Universe’s Kevin Dart. Toronto, Canada-based CG animation and visual effects shop Arc Productions (Gnomeo & Juliet) is the lead animation house.” What’s more, Lion King / Mr. Peabody & Sherman director Rob Minkoff is on board as one of the producers. Quite a lot of big names attached to this project!

The Great Fursplosion of 2016 is getting near. Latest Newsdump that goes out every week or 2.
My brand new and very first partial fursuit!
Episode -60 - Best band name ever!
Ready to delurk after ~20 years. Here goes.
I'm a 37-year old living in the LA area who's been lurking in the furry scene for more than 20 years. (We first got internet at home in 1994, and one of the first things I searched for on WebCrawler was "werewolf". Down the rabbit hole I went.)
After standing on the sidelines for two decades, I've decided it's time to actually give this whole furry thing a try. I already have accounts on FA, SoFurry, and Weasyl, so I do have a minor presence already, but I rarely interact with anyone there - I mostly use those places for the gathering of, shall we say, "recreational" works. I've also written some stories, so there's that.
One of the biggest reasons it's taken me this long to delurk is because I've always been terrified of my real life acquaintances/family discovering that I'm a furry and using it as a point of ridicule. I've also had a crippling fear that people online would find out about me being furry (and the stuff I've written or the stuff I fap to) and use it as some sort of blackmail or - and I hate this term so much - cyberbullying. I've talked to my friends about this, though, and they're pretty much indifferent. And I don't really have an internet presence beyond a blog that I update maybe once a year, so trolling isn't really a concern anymore.
So allow me to introduce myself. I'm Loogaroo, the game show-loving werewolf. Hope I won't be a nuisance.
Sooooo.... what do I do now? Fursuits? Ref sheets? Fur cons? Help me out here, guys. I've got 20 years of catching up to do.
