I've come to a conclusion - no more furry?
a month ago
Straight up without further explanation to the point:
I decided to leave the furry Fandom.
My points at currently why I've this issue thinking about to:
- I've had people that were angry at me, because I messed things up you can ask me what happened but it's a review over 12 years of the times I did so.
- I've always felt like just being a observer and never felt really attached into it. Being a bystander.
- I've never had "proper" friends. For the most I was there when they needed me otherwise I felt like stashed into a corner and done.
- I've been to smaller meets but never go a straight furry con. Just some other fantasy meet ups/cons caught my eye.
- Besides role-playing and collecting art pieces for something that attaches deeper within me than a fursona. I don't even feel attached to the Fandom.
- I don't even crave to save up money for a fursuit nor Camera Equipment anymore, most of my savings go towards my Fable for cars.
The only reasons why I would keep being a furry:
-Majority of my friends are furries
What's currently happening?
I'm starting to gain ground inside of the car scene and local car community. It's close by, reachable and I've proper knowledge about cars and care.
Ive specialties within detailing, work within a job that's connected to automotive industry.
I've a passion for those things.
What does it mean for my online connections, mutuals and those I call friends?
- Actually ? Nothing at all, I'm still an otherkin as I'm feeling deeper connected to my wolf than from start.
- My Contacts will stay, Roleplay's going to be still the very same part for my life as they were before.
- Art is still be a passion I enjoy so I'll still commission art from my Wolf and other chars I'm dedicated to keep alive.
What does it mean for my private life and IRL?
- Most likely I'll cut down my friends list to a certain degree and will stop trying to keep up with everybody.
- General Furry Events and Communities I'm in I'll most likely retreat back from and out, focusing on friends I've IRL and online.
- Lot's of money that I've used to attend to Furry Events (Meet's, smaller events 'close' by) is going to feed into my future community.
I'm honest with all of you, each time I started to thrive within the furry community, when things came out the best, from somewhere came a punch.
It landed usually where it hurt, so I'm not keeping the risk up that it'll happen again. <3
I'll still be around, expect maybe more art to come what I save up from instead from going out to furry events!
I'm looking forward to see and hear your opinions, as I'm not gone, but changed.

I get that you wanna take a break, and that's fair, seems like you're already pretty busy, take care. ^w^
Hey I'm not gone! I just don't want to pretend to be someone I'm not! :3
Ich seh mich halt nicht als furry sondern als Otherkin. Und ich war nie groß in der furryszene zuletzt somit stört es nicht wenn ich mich zum Großteil zurückziehen werde und nur im Internet aktiv bleibe.
You don't need a fursuit to fit in and you don't have to be popular either. Find that group you really vibe with and just stay with them as long as you can.
I'm an Otherkin <3 (not one of the weird people that go howl in a forest) I'm a wolf at heart and will always be.
I don't need no fursuit or costume to hide myself. I know what I truly am at heart. I'll still be commissioning art, I'll still roleplay. I'll still be 'there' in a specific matter.
