F**k it, we'll do it live.

Furry Reddit - Wed 1 Jul 2015 - 04:31

EDIT: I'm seeing a little bit of twilight out my window, so I'm going to do the adult thing and go get some rest. Feel free to comment here, but I might not reappear until later.

Hi everyone!

So, it's 1:45 2:00 2:30 in the morning, I just finished going through my backlog of /r/furry/new, and I still have plenty of Avicii, Galantis, and Porter Robinson to go through and enough Starbucks in my system to keep me functional for another hour or so before f.lux and my broken sleep cycle cause me to conk out.

Seeing as how I've ran out of things to do this late at night and I don't really want to do anything in my apartment because it's disgustingly warm, I figured I could stop being a pansy and de-lurk for the first time in like, ever.

I'm (not really) /u/IT_Wolf (my furry alt for the time being - more on that later). I'm a 19-y.o. college sophomore studying for his Bachelor's in Computer Science at a university in the fine(?) state of Washington.

I've been a furry since... 6th grade - that's <math> 8 years? oh my god I feel so old saying that It feels super weird writing this now, mostly because I've been more-or-less a lurker during that time, spare the occasional comment on a story I read or whatever. (For comparison, I've been lurking on /r/furry for about 6 months or so) I might consolidate my various lurker accounts across the interwebs once I get my degree and a real career and stop caring about what others think, but until then I have to deal with coworkers and family members that know my primary Reddit username/general Internet identity. As such, it'll probably be another 2 or 3 years of alts, burner accounts, and awkwardly declining the occasional question to avoid getting doxxed, but c'est la vie I suppose.

I don't have a fursona nailed down (that'll most definitely have to change now), but it's almost definitely a wolf - as if my username wasn't any hint at all :P - if not at least something male (like myself) of the canid persuasion, and just as gay as I am, if not so ridiculously secretive about it.

All of that aside, hi. I'm not sure if the "New Furry" posts with semi-AMAs are supposed to go in /r/furryAMA, so forgive me if I've committed a faux-pas.

Nonetheless, you're all free to ask me questions until I pass out at my desk or actually decide to go to bed like a responsible adult.

The relationships of stories and characters

Furry Reddit - Wed 1 Jul 2015 - 01:25

I've thought about this for some time, especially regarding some threads I've seen and engaged in. I'm curious to know what others think about stories with characters and how important it is to them. I believe the reason so many people talk about movies like Robin Hood or get excited about movies like Zootopia aren't necessarily aesthetic, but the story itself. After all, story gives MEANING to the characters which is what a lot of us grew up on and why we fell in love with the characters to begin with.

I'm about knowing WHO these characters are more than WHAT. I'm interested to know the thoughts of others and what they value more. I see a lot of emphasis on simply "aesthetic" in this fandom which I have trouble relating to. I think the story matters. What are your thoughts?

Thank you everyone for the patience! Don't worry if you don't appear yet, page two is full of Furries and will be done tomorrow! &amp;amp;lt;3 Something I'm loving about this is saying 45 people sounds like nothing, you know? But after drawing that many on one paper and receiving close to 300 more, it's like I'm just now realising how massive this community is, and yet it's still such a close world.... <3
