2023 pupdate!
2 years ago
hello folks! once again, it has been a while. i'm making some updates across my online profiles and figured i'd write a short (p)update on how things are going!
with the way things have been going on twitter, i've decided to officially move away from that hellsite since i'm convinced it could blow up at any time. i had already stopped using it for some time now as i have kind of wound down a lot of my social media activity in general, which has helped a LOT for my own mental health. for all the artists i was following on there, i've made sure to either follow them here on FA or jot down alternate sites where i can find their work. while i won't claim that FA is a perfect site, it at least allows me to easily see the work of artists i care about, unlike twitter and other social media where things are just lost in the void of the algorithm. so, i will continue to be active on here for now. i've set up a mastodon account which has surprisingly been a little better than i expected, though i don't expect to be super active on it.
while i've been less active on social media, i was inspired to return to VRChat after attending the VRChat meetup at this year's Furnal Equinox. i've found a couple groups that i really like and overall the vibe has been so much better this time around. for me it's a nice way to socialize, play games, and actually get to BE my sona! so i've been spending more time on there and honestly been enjoying it a lot!
the other big news is that this year, i decided to change my fursona! this was a big move considering i've been using essentially the same sona since i joined the fandom in 2011 (with some minor updates here and there). i have gone through a lot in the last 1-2 years in my personal life and there has been a lot of change. i've been working a lot on my mental health which is something i put off for far too long. it has been a long journey but i feel like things are finally starting to get a lot better! i have also been doing more exploration of my gender identity. i don't necessarily feel that being a "guy" fully covers it so i am now identifying as non-binary. recently i have been trying out they/them pronouns and it feels nice, so i will continue to do that for the time being as i try to work out more of my feelings on this subject. anyway, with all of these changes, i no longer felt that my old fursona still fit with where i wanted to go in the future. so.... surprise! i'm a fox now. i've posted my new ref sheet and i'm in the process of updating my FA profile and other profiles with my new name, profile pic, and pronouns.
big big thank you to
bluecayman who has been my rock through all of this. i couldn't have done it without you 💖 and speaking of whom... Spade and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary this year! 😊 who said furry relationships never last??? 🤣
this has already gotten a fair bit longer than i was expecting but that's all for now! cheers to friends old and new who may read this, and looking forward to where things go from here!
