Check out this incredible comm of my sona I got recently

#

Hi hhello this is my suit of my character Syrus!!

turbid drift
#

Hey im just gonna ask this with no hope of ever seeing this guys art again but

#

There was this artist i used to look at on instagram that had this character (i think its name was melvin) he was like a white fox or something, a lot of this guys art was super gory. There was a lot of gore involved, where the character would go and kill a shit tone of people and fight something and come back with nothing but his skeleton still intact because it was like metalic, and there was a lot of glare and shine and highlights on anything metalic or bloody and all of the dialogue was never really that serious, always lighthearted. Ima be honest every post looked super fckn cool and badass

#

I cannot find this guy for the life of me so im just teaching out to anyone who might know because i really wanna see his art again T T

Turns out a 1900 paycheck is in fact not enough for a fursuit head and paws with some left over for necessities, it is in fact only enough for a head and bullshit (ᇂ_ᇂ |||)

#

I guess ill just... commision some art then...

turbid drift
# dim iron What about rent?

Aint that the fancy word the guy who comes screamin and bangin on my front door says every couple of days holding out papers filled with gobbeldygook i cant be bothered to read?

dim iron
#

Must be cause I know you ain't complaining about not being able to afford a full fursuit while not having to pay rent gunshaking

turbid drift
#

LMAO

#

Yeah nah i dont pay rent i still live with my mom and i just got payed 2000 bucks for selling one of my paintings

#

And thank the lord we own our house because god knows we would not be able to afford rent even if the 2 of us were working full time

#

Also i dont even have a ref sheet yet, i just wanted to know if i could commision a partial because even though i am usually very patient, this 5 year long in the closet furry adventure has sort of left me completely without patience and now that ive finally come out i kind of just wanna do it all in one go, commision a ref sheet, and get the head and paws ordered

#

Bro... i can order food now

#

And not just ordering food... i can do doordash

#

Holy shit

DONT USE YOUR MONEY FOR EVIL

I just want a suit so bad bro T T

#

Ion even got a single one of my sonas a ref sheet yet and i still want one SO BAD DBDHDJSBSJ

#

A suit and doordash

gritty siren
#

i finaly ended up getting a commission and it was nice but it took a few months

#

i might open my commissions soon maybe

chilly dagger
#

I have fantasized about getting a partial suit for my fursona once I get enough money to but

  1. Still relatively expensive for me
  2. I’m bad at keeping the same fursona, let alone persona for myself so by the time I get it I might have a completely new one
  3. Where would I even store it?
slow bramble
#

Feel u ive never been able to settle on a sona so ive never dropped the $$ in a suit, theres cool premade partials out there tho

#

Im gonna finally get a ref made and a design down soon tho and hopefully get a partial this yr

tranquil mauve
#

a big thing for me besides money is finding a fursuit maker that isn't a shitty person but also does a style i enjoy

#

i don't love the very classic toony canine look, my sona is closer to kemono

#

but some kemono suits are a little too undefined in the nose/mouth area and a little too cutesy
i respect that you can't expect many suiters to deviate from their preferred style

turbid drift
#

I just look at ppl whos shuits i like and stalk their suit makers profile lmao

Hes not a bad person to my knowledge lmao but u rly never know

#

sounds weird but i feel like ive drawn a drawing with the same reference you might of used

gritty siren
#

i think ive seen a lot of similar poses

#

i looked at a picture of pyro tf2 to see where the boots would face

gritty siren

#

i recommend waiting until you've had the same fursona for at least two years. you don't want to end up with a suit for a character you no longer connect with! unless you're okay with selling it, some people do that.

#

as far as the expensive part goes ...... yeah 😭 fursuits are very expensive because of the materials and amount of labor that goes into one. even if you make it yourself, it will cost hundreds of dollars.

#

as for storage, a lot of people hang a bodysuit in their closet and put their head and paws on a shelf. if they have multiple, they get those big plastic storage bins.

#

i don't have the space to store a fullsuit at the moment, but i'm working on a head. and even that requires a lot of space! for storing the materials, for putting things together.

Okay so I did it! Very fun to draw something else than a canine/canine-ish creature! Still have a lot to learn but it's fine cuz it takes practice >:3

#

I fucked up few things but that's the price I pay for doing it traditional + using a pen not a pencil lol

vivid fjord
#

Been looking at pictures of crows and trying to recreate it to get an understanding on how to draw bird fursonas 🔥🔥💥🔥

#

Also I'm kinda scared that I might kinda "spam" a bit in this channel but I wanna show off my learning process and I have no other space to share it to 😭
So I'm hoping it's not an issue

SKETCHPOST I’ve been hammering out the idea of sparkleanimals as a rave subculture , they’re also sometimes called party animals or glitterfolk hashtag joy and love . Sparkle animals are sort of the in-universe equivalent to someone with 3 trillion piercings and the coolest hair you’ve ever seen and there’s like 500 of them at the machine girl show . machine girl will be canon in the plurrbandit cinematic universe

i heard barq is incredibly inactive and most ppl are on discord or telegram. anyway im in a local furry discord group and theres actually a whole ass website with discord integration and you need to have an account on that website to participate in discord. god damn these guys are so smart

#

i’m still new to all this… i been a lurker but recently i decided to take the plunge and formally call myself a full fledged furry

#

yell at me to make a ref sheet for crabriel because my motivation to draw has been flushed so far down the shitter that it may as well have reached the water treatment plant

#

i think there might be more activity on there in areas where a con is happening? idk my local one is happening in september

slow bramble
#

Idk how to find discord or tg groups for local furs tho tbh. Ig i could use disboard but finding channels on tg is nearly impossible

slow bramble
#

Also tbf u can b a furry however u want. Ive been a furry for like 17yrs but just had online friend groups, various ocs. Never fully settled on a sona or have a bunch of art or anything. Never been to a con. Ive always wanted a suit but just havent felt like dropping money on one.

radiant glade
#

yeah that’s fair
i’ve been drawing digitally for like 8 years so i feel like i should be able to contribute to the fandom
fursuits are expensive as shit so i’ve always seen it as a privilege to own one tbh. i’m a horseshoe crab so im not gonna make anything with actual fur but cardboard might do it

slow bramble
#

Omg crab thats fun

#

Yeah u def could make ur own in creative way

radiant glade
#

my pfp is kinda my sona already (just the colors are stylized)
his design’s based on sheldon from splatoon since i haven’t seen many horseshoe crab characters period

slow bramble
#

Idk some ppl make being a furry their entire personality and social life which like, more power to those ppl. Being a furry is a core part of who I am but its never been my entire life, although part of that was a shame thing lol. Ive started embracing it more again after the yr I dated my ex bc he was very much the type of person where being a furry was everything to him (for better or for worse lmao)

when i found out i liked goth music i started acting like being goth was a huge part of my personality. now i don’t really dress the part anymore (i look more generally alt than specifically goth) but i still have it in me

#

maybe when you’re older you’re not supposed to act like that but i’m weird and troubled in a similar vein to what happened to jojo siwa when she started adopting her “bad girl” personality. and we’re the same age to boot

slow bramble
#

And like there isnt wrong w anyone like that but being a furry isnt like some competition either yknowww

radiant glade
#

oh yeah for sure

i don’t really go into anything expecting to act like a seasoned professional at it (except my job bc i was really worried about making a good impression even though i was an intern there last year)

#

i need to stop being a perfectionist

it’s why i’m not on dating apps aside from the horrible social anxiety. my friends were like “MAKE A PROFILE RIGHT NOW” and im like “i can’t do it until i have good pictures and i look chopped”

slow bramble
#

Loool I feel that

radiant glade
#

people always think they’re less attractive than how others perceive them ig, especially if they have low self esteem
i’ve never been insulted on my appearance, only complimented

slow bramble
#

Also a life long neurotic perfectionist although ive gotten over it quite a bit thankfully

radiant glade
#

and yet i still feel this way

As anecdotal evidence, after having Barq for probably 4 or 5 years now, I've never made a friend or connection through there. All of the local furries I've met have been in-person through local events, on social media (X/Twitter) which led to hanging out IRL, or on Grindr

radiant glade
#

that’s how i prefer it

slow bramble
#

Yeah thats how it seems to go

#

I wanna go to megaplex finally this yr and wanted to see if theres a tg channel link on twitter somewhere, although twitter sucks ass ngl I did wanna try making a bluesky I just havent

radiant glade
#

lunch time!

#

uaaa

i wanna go to furry migration (local) in september and i think im going w a friend but even with friends i can feel too anxious to meet people

the plan’s just gonna be randomly hanging around different activities until someone invites me to a telegram channel

dim iron
#

Barq kinda has an issue of being too well made. It's an incredible level of information and access compared to nearly every other dating app, meaning you can look through so many people and get so much info about them. However this still doesn't solve the dating app issue of it being impossible to judge what the vibe of hanging out with someone is like, which is the single most important thing in making connections. So it gives you this detailed portrait of someone with so much of their likes and interests and art, for however many people you want to look at cause of the lack of paywalls, and at least for me leaves me too overwhelmed while still feeling disconnected from an actual social connection

radiant glade
#

yeah, it suffers from the flaws of every other dating app just because of the nature of such apps

slow bramble
#

I feel like thats a dating app problem in general, ive never used a dating app but thats also bc ive been in a relationship since I was 16 lol.

radiant glade
#

you can try to package dating profiles as putting yourself out there, but i also see it as needing to market yourself to impress people (which may work in the short term but certainly not the long term)

dim iron
slow bramble
#

And we never made the decision to suddenly open up and go on apps/into the real world looking for a 3rd, it just ended up happening randomly

radiant glade
#

i’m scared for the future because i’ve never been in a relationship at my ripe old age and i feel extreme jealousy towards my current friends who have all gotten into relationships

#

How old are you

R ppl approaching u or r u approaching anyone?

i have to approach everyone every single time

are some people just not meant to be in relationships? if i’m one of these people, why did god make me want a relationship so badly

slow bramble
#

Well at least ur putting in the effort it'll work out at some point

#

i want to get married and start a family
i fear it won’t happen in this life

If I was meeting someone new and asked how old they were and they would not answer I would probably not wanna keep talking either I'm just saying 🙄

Bruh ur only 23 ur young asf

never having been in a relationship at this age is not normal tho

slow bramble

Not that I dont remember being 18-22 and feeling like I was behind on certain things but now that im a lil older im like oh yeah I was young then and im still young rn

I never had a relationship at that age

My First relationship was at 25

what happens if i’m still loveless at 25? or 30? or 40?

#

i have 10 eyes i can see the future and that is my future

dim iron
#

If the only love you have is through a romantic relationship, that's a much larger issue

slow bramble
#

Gen it wont happen if u stay consistently out there looking around u will find someone lol maybe even today who knows

#

Or yeah... dating apps ig and playing that game if ur feeling impatient for something naturally to occur irl

radiant glade
#

see that’s what i’ve been avoiding for a long time

if i’m lucky i can probably get 2 matches a month and they’ll both ghost me

#

I met my boyfriend at a trivia night I had been going to for 3 years just to socialize and meet new people. I met some friends that I started bringing and we all went in fursuit and yelled mean things at the trivia host, so he noticed me and wanted to start talking

#

must be nice to have someone approach you

dim iron
#

Stop the self pity shit or I'm not gonna keep giving you advice. It's not helping anyone, especially yourself

radiant glade
#

i’m speaking what i believe and what i perceive to be reality

slow bramble
#

Being negative abt shit tho is inadvertently making it ur reality

#

Life sucks but u have to stay neutral or try to b optimistic or else u become a self fulfilling prophecy

#

And that applies to everyone. Ive been there, everyone ik has been there, the 2 ppl ive ever loved have been there.

#

My ex was stuck there and it was part of what sabotaged the relationship tbh

dim iron
radiant glade
#

i can try to put myself out there but i’ll just be proven right

#

you think you can tell someone to stop being negative and all of a sudden they’ll be normal? no, you still dislike them because they were negative in the first place

dim iron
#

Everyone has negative thoughts, its about being able to filter them. Trauma dumping on someone you just met is not gonna make any friends

radiant glade
#

i don’t do this? i try everything to impress people and then nothing follows

#

i spent 20+ hours making a star chain belt for femtanyl and it was beat to shit by the time it was over

i had to tell people about it for people to even pay attention to it

slow bramble
dim iron
#

I genuinely thought these same things when I was your age. I thought that no one would find me interesting and that I was a poser who would scare everyone away with their weird kinks and interests. But then I started public fursuiting at trivia night and approached the table full of queers and invited them to my birthday party, not even knowing any of their names, and the hottest Brazilian boy ever was all over me. I started a transfem climbing meetup just cause I wanted to meet people near my house, and no one showed up for a few months, and suddenly it's a great group of people and me and the wolf girl who comes are crushing on each other

Aw that sucks tho i feel like shows r never safe for stuff p much everything gets beat up or lost

yeeesss!! the meet is a small group of people local to the area :) it wasnt super large last time i went, but tbf it was the first meet just in general
though this weeks meet might be a bit smaller cause of furlandia

what good is having money if you can’t spend it on flowers and dates and presents

i’ll spoil my loved one so rotten

i hope you feel better later
get yourself a treat

i don’t think i’ll ever be happy
not until by some impossible miracle that someone confesses their love for me

#

i’ll wait
weeks will turn to months and months to years
years to a lifetime of solitude and i won’t be found until they come to evict me from my empty apartment

tough river
#

maybe you need to focus on yourself before you focus on another person
you cant wait for somebody else to make you happy or you will be miserable
and if you convince yourself that nobody is able to love you then you wont be able to love yourself

desires are never fulfilled and are the root of all suffering

young lonely men are a pretty vulnerable population and can easily be manipulated or radicalized by malicious actors. naturally they started to be influenced by redpillers because they claimed to offer a solution to their problems, and it’s created this toxic shithole ideology that we associate incels with that i am in no way shape or form a part of

Fr, I briefly mentioned it earlier but the dude me and my partner dated for a year literally sabotaged the relationship w his unyielding negativity. Gen loved him and thought we were all gonna b partners for life but he made it nearly impossible

i genuinely think a partner would solve all of my problems but ok

tough river

YES thats exactly what he did
he also just kept making me feel bad about things that i should not have felt bad about because of his negativity

or at least in that regard
ofc there are problems in other aspects of life and problems that are solved will be replaced with new ones but

knowing i’m actually capable of getting into a (healthy) relationship, even if it doesn’t last, would boost my self esteem so much

it actually used to be not having friends that i was so upset over

i have been reading a chinese book on anatomy cause i’ve always sucked at it

#

rn i approach drawing as some sort of meticulous study so i can come out as a better artist than i was being strictly a hobbyist who just draws whatever without caring about the fundamentals

#

which of course makes starting a lot more difficult but if that spark of motivation ever comes, i’d probably draw nonstop for 13 hours and unlock godly drawing powers as naoki saito so claims

Would you tell someone else the things you tell yourself?

radiant glade
#

my therapist, perhaps

#

(i don’t have a therapist right now and i’m actively looking for one, but i haven’t gotten a response from the clinic ive reached out to)

#

it’s difficult to not talk about it with the wrong people when you don’t have someone readily available for you who will listen, and i don’t expect that for everyone, and i end up bottling these feelings up until they eventually get released at the wrong place and the wrong time just like uncontrollable bowels (an inappropriate analogy, i know)

If you want me to weigh in on this, you may not like it. You're describing self inflicted, isolated loneliness. I'm watching you talk about this non existent saviour, that will lift you out of your slump. You're not protecting yourself by avoiding connection, your further wounding yourself. Then to deal with it, you're creating a false reality that everyone dislikes you. Further cutting yourself off from any genuine connection before it even starts. Then this cure all person will fix how you feel. They wont, they don't exist. It sounds like you've created an unholy cycle of hell, that you can't escape. You're afraid of being alone, yet you've completely isolated yourself. That doesn't sound very fun at all, I have no doubt in my mind that you're suffering. I definitely don't think you're doing it on purpose. However you need to understand that you do need help and that you can help yourself. In little ways until you can get the help you need from a Therapist or Psychologist. I'm trying to think if there's anything I can give you that could help you. Do a little bit of research into Monophobia with isolation and perhaps Avoidant Personality Disorder. I'm not saying you have these things however they could give you coping techniques.
