Questions about the fandom from a newbie

Furry Reddit - Sun 1 Nov 2015 - 18:06

Yo everyone!

So I'm new to the whole concept of furry stuff, but I'll be honest, it got me interested. So I've got a couple questions regarding the community/fandom etc.

1.Whats up with the whole 'hug' thing? Is it some form of greeting?

  1. Why do some people seem to hate/dislike this community? It seems to be really nice and open.

  2. Whay does yiff stand for? I know it's porn and all that but it has some deeper meaning or just random 4 letters?

  3. What exactly are fursonas?

Thanks for all the answers and all that!

Now that Halloween has passed for all of us, what was the best costume you saw?

Furry Reddit - Sun 1 Nov 2015 - 14:57

For me and the other NA furs, Halloween was yesterday and we got to see some awesome (tiny toddler Hulk FTW) and not-so-awesome (only a cardboard box on head) costumes. I'm curious, what was the best costume any of yall saw last night/night prior if your in Europe?

Best costume I saw was a genderbent Anubis roaming around with a group other people (which included a nightmare clown and a plague doctor) near my cities club district. Didn't get a picture of her, but it looked like she put some serious effort into her costume. It had everything from the simple tail and sycthe accesories to a full-blown jackal head with a moving jaw. I'd dare she was a furry with how much detail was put into her full-body costume if Anubis wasn't such a popular character. So, to reiterate, what was the best costume you saw during Halloween?

An Undertale inspired picture that I made.

Not sure on how to enlarge the pixels, but I used a sprite program called Aseprite. So, sorry if it's super ultra tiny.

BOSS BATTLE CAMEO ROULETTE!

Furry Reddit - Sun 1 Nov 2015 - 11:11

So,let's get to the point!

BOSSES! I love designing them,thinking them out,everything! They can just be SO DAMN CREATIVE at times!

Long story short,some of you may know I am working on THE SELF, a game that has my sona.So,before I truly start working on the story, I have been making the bosses,and the challenge mode bosses,which you can get to after you get the perfect ending that is also thought out.I kinda have Ringgar into the game as the first boss (YAY, Ringgar is already there!),but I wanna see if someone else wants to get added in.Felix the World Dominator is gonna get his place,as promised,but you guys deserve to get some attention as well!So,you guys tell me if you want to participate in the roulette.You will be assigned with a number,and after than,I will see through a random number generator who will get added in!

NOTE ON BOSSES: If you wanna be a Main Boss,you have the chance to LIVE! The game will have a mechanic similar to sparing,but a bit different.There are a bunch of commands to choose from in the SPEAK command,which if you put in a certain order,the battle will end peacefully.If you want to be a Challenge Mode boss,you are gonna DIE no matter what. The winner willl be PM ed to be asked what kind of abilities he wants,what kinda of SPEAK commands, and to be warned the game will be like the old games,where only a limited number of animations are available!

Anyone interested? :)
