An incomplete list of furry crushes
3 weeks ago
Maid Marian (Disney's Robin Hood): If you're Gen X, straight, and you're furry, this is why. You know I'm right.
Mrs. Brisby: This lady was the awakening of my weakness for vulnerable but ultimately indomitable female characters. Can you lift a concrete block with the power of love (and a mysterious amulet imbued with the power of some unspecified eldritch source)? Thought not.
Kanga: ...Okay, listen. She is a gentle, loving mother figure with hips for days. You know I'm right.
'Girl Squirrel' (Disney's Sword in the Stone): ...You too. You know I'm right. Don't even try lying about it; when her heart broke, your heart broke.
Squirrel Girl: Maybe not really a crush, I'm just a fan really. That said... Have you seen her in Marvel Rivals? Other heroines would wish they were drawn like that if they weren't mostly so damned basic. I know her whole schtick pseudo-canonically precludes a movie, but I'd sure as hell watch it if there was one. It'd probably just be like 'Dude, Where's My Nuts?' Worth it.
Stith: Sir, yes leg-mommy Sir! Sorry! Right away, leg-mommy Sir!
Silvia 'the Grey', Phoenix of Strife: Hello, my name is: PYGMALION
Filia Ul Copt: A hot temper, a charmingly naive adherence to the perception of 'good', and a fantastic tail. With a pretty pink bow. She has a beautifully operatic shrieking voice when she's angry.
Jillas: Kinda spoilers. Well, I never said they all had to be female, now did I? Perfect blend of cleverness and madness. Also, the strength of his spirit was sufficient to completely alter the shape of the Gorun Nova in a way that not even Lina Inverse could do, and he did it accidentally just by holding it. Also, Jillas is a fellow Filia fan, so exquisite taste.
Freya Crescent: Very spoilers. Thighs that could crush a dragon, and have very possibly done so on more than one occasion. Freya is a member of an underdog race regarded by many as "vermin." She turns to the lie she keeps telling herself to keep going, then she gets up and goes on. Her home is destroyed and her people are slaughtered. She turns to the lie she keeps telling herself to keep going, then she gets up and goes on. Time after time she loses everything, so she turns to the lie that she keeps telling herself to keep going, then she gets up and goes on. And then the lie catches up and turns out to be a twisted truth not worth going on for. Then... she gets up and goes on. Even hopeless and bereaved and faced with the impossibility of rebuilding a future for the remnants of her people, she goes on. I cannot properly express how beautiful this character is to me. Like, it's one thing to say "I have the hots for this character." It's another thing entirely to say "I would prostrate myself at your feet, my Queen." This is probably not healthy, but ah, what an exquisite madness.

Never heard of the others.
Hardly.
'Girl squirrel' is a character so irrelevant to the plot of the movie that she was never even given a name. Her appearance is, nevertheless, one of the most memorable moments.
Squirrel Girl is a Marvel lethal joke character whose super powers boil down to climbing trees, talking to squirrels, and easily trouncing the multiverse's most dangerous existential threats offscreen without explanation.
Stith is a space kangaroo (mantrin) from Titan A.E.. She has the anger issues of a mother bear, the ordnance of a mechanized infantry company, the voice of Janeane Garofalo, and too many knees.
Silvia is an OC who, in terms of published media, has only appeared in an altered form as the lead of an extremely short-lived comic that I can probably take 70% of the credit for running into the ground.
Filia is a golden dragon from Slayers: Try. She is nominally a priestess, but her de-facto role is that of a lawful-stupid paladin.
Jillas is a fox beastman, also from Slayers: Try. He's a heavily sympathetic villain in a series which (at least between the silliness) focuses a great deal on the concepts of life-debt, loyalty, the perception of good and evil, and related ethical/emotional conundrums.
I gotta watch more Slayers. Been nibbling around the edges with the various movies and things.
Maid Marian is definitely tied with that one burlesque mouse from the Great Mouse Detective as Bodie's 'sexual?' awakening. Idk. That's probably what it is, but at the time I was parked on the floor letting the TV/VHS babysit me, and theres this fluffy lady onscreen and I'm all like- "oh, she pwetty" (=ↀωↀ=) .. and that felt like that was the extent of it. You see the nice fuzzy woman that Milt Kahl or whoever animated = you get a nice fuzzy feeling in your brain and shoulders. Quite sweet really, in retrospect.
If you take Bilbo Baggins, Jesus Christ, the most stubborn mf'r you know, and the 'ardest mother with you've ever met- give her heightened chronic anxiety + probably some post natal depression and mash em together into the titchy vulnerable body of field mouse.
Then IDK, I guess you'd get a Mrs Brisby.
Especially in that first half. She's just a dimunitive 40+ mom with noticable facial hair trying to get what she needs to keep her dang kid from croaking, and theres scary landscapes and owls and tractors and wizards and fuckin'.. guys with halberds giving her grief and she just wants to go home maaan :[
Dunno if I get it as a crush, but it is IMPOSSIBLE to not root for her. I defy anyfucker who suggests otherwise. Girl needs a backrub and a thimble of warm bourbon.
Somehow I have never actually seen The Great Mouse Detective. I wonder if it'd hold up to adult standards?
Maid Marian, Mrs. Brisby, Kanga, Stith, and the Sword in the Stone female squirrel are each dear precious characters who I've had and continue to have isolated fantasies about. The others though I've either simply never memorably encountered, or they're humans and I don't relate to your ability to care for them.
