By complete coincidence, I uploaded the newer reference for Quintree (https://www.furaffinity.net/view/44222899/) on the exact day I uploaded the original ref (https://www.furaffinity.net/view/38754964/) last year, which was my first ever art commissioned as a furry character. After dozens of commissions, hundreds of new folks, and over a thousand hours in vrchat, I'm quite solidly comfortable with my furry identity as a Missouri Fox Trotter horse today! I have more to learn and more to see, but I'm sincerely humbled to have been welcomed, encouraged, and befriended by so many in this vast community and fandom. With the right comfort zones, I've even been allowed to really indulge into things I once thought were too weird to engage, but even made friends in the hungriest of moods.

Up next is real conventions! With vaccines fighting back this awful global pandemic (I got mine, and must recommend you do, too), there's a greater chance to safely meet other furries at cons - which I've never been to before. Sure, I've attended virtual cons like Furality (and they're amazing!), but I get to visit a small local con in November this year, then am making plans to attend Furry Weekend Atlanta in Spring 2022! Of course, one day... I may even get a Quintree fursuit, especially with the new ref that doesn't use gradient color transitions. I was lucky enough to try on a friend's full fursuit a few months ago, and I practically changed from a no-touchy-introvert to the most huggable person in the room for the 30 minutes I was in suit. What an experience, to be surrounded by so much immense soft comfort all over! Quintree fursuit, when, indeed!

To everyone that's chatted in vrchat and discord, connected via twitter, or favorited/commented on my uploads, many many thanks. I'm a happy content horse to be here <3
