Happy Groundhog Day!

Fitting- today we have important announcements that you have to hear!

~~SAIRY: A fox species has been picked for her!~~

I have finally figured it out, and I finally found the perfect species for my fursona after MANY weeks of deliberation, and it does seem that what I have when I picked the species, the characteristics align well with what I like in my likes in the FF'dom, and she would be one of the rare species of fox that would fit my interests, and I feel that I will have a good relation with her. I would have to say, in picking this rare fox, it can be great to give more awareness in RL as this species is underrated. What got me to shock is that ONLY TWO fursuits exists in the world, and there are so few arts of her species now From the previous journal in which I have said my preferences of what my fox species is: https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10792842/ , I got my picks down to 3. It was overnight that I got it down to 2 after Wednesday as I did not like the Bengal/Indian fox, but then after going one more time to another library despite not finding too much material, I did manage to look online for comparisons and who has advantages and disadvantages.
Eventually I had these personality characteristics in mind for Sairy:

*Likes game shows, Only sports are Olympics
*Likes to travel
*Is tall and slender
*Likes to be in good health
*Values intelligence
*Can be in Macro as being a steppe (as pronounciation is involved) Would rampage if it is necessary-extremely hates war and crushes belligerents. G3 in general
*Loves to see paws of any kind (foot)
*Is into dieting and can be underweight at times
*Vorer, hates spicy food
*Loves tickles-therapeutic
*Orange in the summer months, from June 1 to Aug. 31 (in Northern hemisphere- weather gene related)
*Loves sex-being a switch-is more of a dominant, but can be submissive- would like to peg males, though.
*Gardener
*Very Social
*Believes in God
*Believes in lifelong learning, speaks French, Spanish, Dutch & Portuguese (in terms of fluency)
*Job-Prosecuting lawyer.

What got me to eliminate one and have my final pick for my fox species was that through more research, there can be the ongoing confusion of a kit fox (Vulpes macrotis) and swift fox (Vulpes velox). And to couple with the possibility of confusing swift with a kit as I do strictly want to have my species distinct, and that there exists Kiit Lock ( Dotx), I had to eliminate what was the favorite-initially it was a swift vixen as it is an American fox that is similar to the red, but whereby there's this, and that some of these personalities do not fit with the furry swift fox I planned, that species is gone. It was a surprise, but these twists and turns can occur and they can be for the best.

And so it leaves with the last of the 23 species of fox in the world. THEREFORE (CUE THE DRUMROLL AND CYMBALS AT ANNOUNCEMENT!):

Sairy is a corsac (steppe) fox (Vulpes corsac).

(...and NO, she is not considered a grey fox [Urocyon cinereoargenteus] despite that there is grey fur on her!)

If you want to know the only two fursuiters who are corsacs, I found them:  AliusCorsac and though not active on FA,  Alteq-that's sad! And as of now, I have found only 1537 arts of this fox species which trails a lot against other foxes. I will be then having to have her give more species recognition!

To joke that she's a steppe fox, as you do pronounce it "step", with such a name, she will have to involve such paws! So be ready for a macro Sairy, and digitrade paw play on the nice and evil side!

It will be an honor to have her ref sheet created on my birthday-it is 32 days from now, and I will be REALLY HAPPY to have her be if an artist can do her as a gift. If anyone can do a RS as a gift, bless you, and I will gladly commission you in the future.

So here we are, Sairy Oleanne Rosenboom is a corsac (steppe) fox- it is found in the center of Asia and in the far eastern extremities of Europe: https://www.iucnredlist.org/species/23051/59049446 , and since there are some nursery rhymes and fables including foxes, I will see if I will include her in there. Hope you like her!

In the meantime, here are pictures of the steppe fox in RL... https://www.google.com/search?q=corsac+fox&sca_esv=76c68a2d4a39925c&tbm=isch&sxsrf=ACQVn09Ypc1GpVap-RYIhyX0u4vjkqzT3g:1706868756767&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjSiLPPtYyEAxVrFzQIHS5YAPAQ0pQJegQICxAE&biw=1536&bih=695&dpr=1.25

WHEW! Now that's out of the way, here's the other announcement:

~~FurCon pictures of 2024 will be posted again!~~

Yes, here we go, today will be me resuming the FC pics that I like to share, and despite that I will not be on X (Twitter) anymore, it will not sop me in ID'ing fursuiters if I don't find them here on FA. I will have the website FurTrack to help me: https://www.furtrack.com/ . At least if I can get help there, it can be easier to find these fursuiters as another weapon use to browse them-they can't hide forever, you know? As too, it will be good to show  Mosfet (not active at all on FA, but would use) as he appeared at FC, and I have a great memory of him doing an antic towards me that made me loudly giggle! It can be too that I will use Postybirb ( https://www.postybirb.com ) so that I will post on FurTrack as well so that they can have info of such fursuiters there as well. It is not listed that FT can allow Postybirb to upload, but I will give it a try.

In the meantime, once again, here come the massive uploads that I have been doing for the past few times I have attended FC, my home con, and I can't wait to share these memories with you. Of course, as for example, the fursuiter that lost his life in a vehicle accident, Haku  Pamfer, or being in stardom having his own show,  Yippee's Edge of the Unknown: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/.....ith-jimmy-chin , these photos can be priceless to show how they are in their lives and to remember them on how they have made a difference in and out of the FF'dom. It would be great to share such photos- you may never know-they can be useful later on!


Ohhh, finally done! If you have read this far, you deserve a pillow cake from me! Thanks for reading, and see you then!
