End of Jex?!
a year ago
No. Not really.
Recently, there has been a bit of a change of direction with myself. 2024 signals the 10 year anniversary of being the controversial, lovable, hatable fluffball known as a Jex. Of the strawberry variety. Beforehand I was just a hellhound, a piece of an old RP character then turned into somewhat of a sona, but it didn't feel right. So I was introduced to these hybrid creatures with big ears, bigger tails and adorable frames that were called a Jex. Picked a color, got a name and the rest was history.
Fast forward 10 years after that. After going through tons of minor changes, development, been spun through many phases and friends along the way. Things for me right now feel like that there needed to be a new direction of some sorts. I started branching off from being the Jex at least two years ago and ran as a human on second life in pursuit of wanting to be what I ideally would've wanted to be like if I had more of my shit in order during my 20s. This and how I was more than a foot out of the door from the furry fandom in general because of how the societal climate of the fandom turned radically and politically charged to where it became socially uninhabitable for me to associate with.
These events all made me a part-timer of a furry. Still, I clung to my jexy identity for it is a big part of me and a chunk of my life I cannot imagine having gone without. However, I felt a sense of wanting change, that I haven't felt for a little while. I began to work on the blue print of my creative vision to make a new hybrid, something I was feeling out for. It took quite some time but I finally got it down now. I came up with a Red Panda, Fennec Fox, Hyena and Phoenix hybrid - a 4 in 1. Recently, I had gotten a dream where I was piled on by a couple of red pandas (No, not in that way...) and that told me that my feelings were correct in what I felt out for while putting the pieces together. The Phoenix is borrowed from my spiritual nature. Fennec Fox is retained from my more grounded background of how the Jex came to be. The Hyena came from a part of myself where historically, I tend to laugh a lot or have laughed a lot and yeens tend to laugh.
There it was, the new hybrid. That I don't even know what to call yet but I think a working name is Rhandex or Rhayenix. It's a WIP.
Now, for the record, the jex is GOING NO WHERE! Jaeger the Jex is such a giant piece of my life that simply 'retiring' or 'killing' it off is unfathomable to me. Plus, I still got jex friends and we're still gonna rule this world someday, somehow. I gotta assist that.
As for this new hybrid, it is carrying it's own torch on it's own. I do thank
for being the first kicker of what it would look like. In time, when I get the muns to buy more commissions, I do plan to pitch this hybrid to artists that can help flesh it out more. And you will be seeing this hybrid much more in the future as I still develop it's identity.
