Now that you say something.......yeah where is the all the good fur? None of these cute adoriable furries that have seem to over run FA : /

So, I wasn't sure what to write, but then I saw this journal and was like, "Rubber dragonesses are good." Sooo I wrote this: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4571397/ and it's all like scrappy but still fun. Yay!

They are indeed. I rather enjoy being one.

But seriously I do know the answer to my own question. It's that people grow up with Rover and fluffy so they form an affectation towards the domestic breeds. I swear even the more mundane people who fall under the BDSM paradigm want to be kitties and puppies. Oh well whatever.
Us dragons we're pretty rare. Often maligned in media few would choose to be us. Well that is until some positive media lately, which is a good thing. I also noticed some dragon toys in Target so I have hope for future generations to be well disposed towards us. But still I don't think I ever want to be the "in" thing.

Oh and arachnids are even rarer. I figure if I shake enough webs hopefully I can find a new playmate. }: )

The furry fandom is a strange thing. Some people want to be a fox because they ate the in thing and popular. Some want to be a dragon (or other unusal creature) because it's rare and they want to stand out. And each camp seems to dislike the other. Go figure.

But I think MOST of us just want to be what appeals to us, and screw if it's popular or rare, normal or outlandish. I've always been fascinated with dragons, way before the internet was even around. When I found my first MUD to play on, there was absolutely no hesitation. I was a dragon. A non-anthro dragon. I have sometimes played an anthro, but 90% of my online time has been as a non-anthro western dragon.

I agree with the kitten and puppy aspect for BDSM, and have another observation. Those are domesticated breeds. Not only do people gro up with and around them, but they have been BRED to be submissive.. so it doesn't surprise me at all once I think about it like that. As a Dom I actually prefer (by far) a dragoness as a pet over a fox or feline. Think of the phrase "the bigger the are, the harder they fall." The stronger someone is, the more satisfying it is for me to have them under my foot and control. Dominating a dragoness is just far too compelling for me to resist.

As for spiders and things not considered cute... hmm. I guess most people just find them icky or it makes them uncomfortable. It's not something most would consider. For me personally... I don't play spiders as my main character.. but they do show up in my RPs and writings. I like having dragons or unicorns or other furs captured by large spiders. Webs make for such wonderful bondage and spiders can do all sorts of terrible things to their victims, or simply catch prey for their Master if they are trained or enslaved to them.

I've also seen spider-centaurs before.. those might be more common.

Hmm, I know of a drider, does that count?

Nah. Not in my book. I've always viewed taurs like herms, a total cop out. Oh I can't decide which or what I want. Oh I know I'll take both. Taurs annoy the crap out of me. I think it's the fact that I'm a biologist that makes me cringe the most at them.

Anyway hi there Faithry. I was just thinking of commissioning you, well omega really I guess, to make my arachnid dreams come true. }; ) Note me and put me in the rather large queue I bet.
