"PASS IT ON" Fursuit head meme
11 years ago
So marks the beginning~
I've decided to start an interesting, interactive meme with my old fursuit head, Snapback v1
Why? Since I've created my newer head, Snapback v2, and have many plans for future heads and suits, I don't personally care very much about this version 1 anymore. Rather than having it rot away in my closet, or even worse, just throwing it away or scrapping it for parts so soon (only a year old) I would rather it make a much more exciting purpose. So I've come up with this idea.
The goal of the meme, is to have this head visit as many conventions (Both furry and anime) as possible, and pass through as many trustworthy hands as it takes to do so.
There will be a few rules, and a fair bit of trust involved, but it should be fairly simple to follow through, and hopefully quite fun. lets start with an introduction to all those who are or will be involved with this meme.

Heyheyhey! If you're reading this section of the journal, you probably are the new temporary owner of THIS head (yes, just the head.)
If so, welcome to the meme and thanks for taking on the challenge! I'm the original creator and owner of the head and the character, by the way. Here is a little instruction and some basic general rules on exactly what the hell is going on with 'passing this fursuit head around'.
/// First off, lets lay some simple ground rules ///
● Please respect the head! I would like this head returned to me down the road in reasonable condition.
● Do not keep it for yourself! That would ruin the fun of the meme, and there's really no point for someone to keep it.
● Do not make alterations! Although the construction is not the best on this head, I would still highly prefer it to stay the way I sent it. If fixes need to be made though, that is perfectly fine!
● Please only pass it on to someone you trust; I wouldn't want the head passed to a stranger!
● THIS IS NOT A LOST FURSUIT HEAD!!!! I don't want it returned to me for quite a while, I want it to go on an adventure! Please do not try to immediately return it to me!!!
● At some point while in your ownership, please give it a quick clean! (preferably when you first receive it!) Simple instructions on cleaning and solutions will be listed below.
/// And now for some actual instructions! ///
1. You have either received this head in the mail or at a con/meet/event you just went to, awesome.
2. You've come to this journal after finding some writing under the neck of the mentioned head, I'm glad you could figure it out!
3. Now that you have it, please let me know you do have it; Comment in this journal to let me know you are the current owner. You can also let me know who you got it from, from where, or how (more fun that way).
4. At the next con or meet that you go to, please bring this head with you. Enjoy it, and please do let your trusted friends enjoy it too!
5. By the end of the event, I ask that you plan for another person to take home the head. They must be informed of this meme! Instructions on the meme, and this journal, is also recommended.
6. Congrats, you've done your job, I hope you got some pictures for me and the meme!
7. It is also encouraged and appreciated that you let me know what con/meet/event you took the head, and who you passed it on to. I will be keeping a record on this journal of places and people it has been with since I began this thing.
/// Tips and suggestions ///
♥ Link the next ''owner'' to this journal when you get home from your event! Just to make it a bit easier
♥ If you can, try to pass it to someone that lives far from you; another state, across the country, even abroad!
♥ Take some pictures to share with the meme!
♥ Have fun with it; use the head to frankensuit, bring it to room parties, dress it up (not permanently), heck you can even drink out of it! (just be weary of anything that would stain or make it sticky etc)
♥ Try to give this head to someone going to a con/meet/event within the next 4 months or so! (from the date of your event) Though it may be difficult, it's worth a try! I wanna see this head go to as many places and events as possible.
♥ If something comes up and you will not be going to any cons/meets/events for the next several months, try to give it to someone close by who will be! Or, if willing, ship it off somewhere else, like to a land far far away kukuku
/// Cleaning instructions!!! ///
▼ First off, you will need a simple spray solution for cleaning! Here is two of my recommended formulas ▼
✱ Most common - 60% rubbing alcohol + 40% clean water
✱ The redneck recipe - unflavored vodka (40% alcohol content or more) and a bit of clean water (just to make the mix a little less strong)
Assuming you may not have a spray bottle free to use (if you don't own your own fursuit) using a clean fabric cloth will work just fine.
1. Wet the cloth with your cleaning solution so it is between wet and damp
2. Wipe the inside of the head taking special care to avoid the eyes (otherwise the paint will run!)
3. Do this until it is free of any strange and offensive odors!
4. Wipe down once more with a clean, damp cloth (water only this time)
5. direct a fan or two blowing inside the head to air dry
Presto! The head is clean and disinfected now and once dry is ready for use!

Awesome. B)
Im gonna take him to two cons that are close together before handing him off~

Get ready world, Snap 1.0 is LOOSE
You should make a QR code that links back to this journal to put on the head somehow.
The most I could do before I shipped it out was write a few words and my fa link on the inside of the neck!
Anyhoo awesome idea! Currently been doing similar with Ace V1 passing it along to some non suiters in the local area. Looking forwward to seeing where this guy goes.
Too bad it wasn't several months ago, I'd have taken him to Mexico and got a photo of him on the beach with a drink! XD
But is it just the head? No tail or paws or anything?
my next is camp feral
unless ur going
duno if it would fit though
i wouldn't wana damage it or anything
(Will make sure to take him out when it's not raining! XD)
Actually its in a ... lets say not that good condition - but ill give it careful german cleaning and after that i hope it will be shiny again.
Ill treat it like my OWN! (and repair the eyes and a few things)
Actual place it is:
Cologne - Germany
Ill post Links to first pics under THIS post ... ceeya spoon ^_^
Snapback was with me at the birthdayparty of Token and Pain.
I also had him with me at the monthly furry roundtable in Dortmund.
Getting him from the customhouse was nice xD
The officer i talked to ... sure wanted to see whats inside the package.
So i showed him the head and told him what is all about.
Then he took the head ... put it on and ran around in the office and fooled around with his colleagues xD
He sadly didnt allowed to take a picture.
But thats why i love Cologne - the city of carnival.
Theyre all so open minded and up for fun.
Ill take care that hell get around germany, netherlands and also to eurofurence.
