Furry you, furry friends, furry lifestyle. FURRY THEN & NOW.
14 years ago
I am old.
I mean, not FUCKING OLD, but old. old enough to want to be younger but not old enough to be a responsible adult.
Meh, who am I shittin', responsibility doesn't come with age.
ANYHOW.
I'm old enough to have seen a world in which "the internet" was this holy entity that held all the yiff tightly in the fascist claws by the name of VCL and the entity had to be praised by the screeching acolytes of 56k modem shitconnectius blocked phonelineus.
This was a world in which SOMEHOW (by some powers that are beyond me) stuff like TEH FURRY FANDOM got spread as if it was pure gold, passed from one hand, mouth and brain to another.
And believe you me, I live in fucking Sweden, we might speak more English than the Russians and Mexicans but when it comes to having cool shit easily accessible, accepted or generally spread through our population, we're just about out of the stone age.
"We" people over here mop up the social shit other countries are already done with and back then, hell, it wasn't much different.
ANYWAY. ON TOPIC.
I was maybe... 16. Tops. Probably like 15 when I was flung cock-first into the furry fandom. And I don't mean literally cock-first, I was never a huge furry slut. NEVER I SAY. I can count the people I've cyberyiffed on my bloody, amputated stump.
SO THERE I WAS. A furry, in a group of what, 5, maybe 6 young people with a few common interest and I guess nothing better to do. We'd meet up, everyone would draw, the good artists would get something done and the shitty artists (me, etc.) would glare at the good artists skilled shit, CURSING THE DAY ANIME INFLUENCED MY ART.
Can't say I was some kind of active LIFESTYLER or the likes, but I damnwell had furry friends, united by the simple fact that we were all furries.
I was pretty heavy into sub-culture back then and I could judge and easily get pitted against a person just because who they looked like, seemed to be or spoke themselves to be. the alternative scene was a goddamn mess.
AND I DON'T MEAN MESS LIKE EMOS AND HIPSTERS.
But I'll leave it at that.
I've never been to a furcon, I guess we ain't got that much of an organized activity around here but it seems that my furry friends all disappeared and that the only place you find any new furries any more are on the internets.
Do you guys even go outside? I know for a fucking fact that I don't. I hate going outside. or, well, I like going for walks and shit but I more or less fear people.
People aren't furries. people aren't those edgy, alternative kids of my youth.
People are just a grey fucking mass.
Where was my point?
Oh yeah.
You're a great fandom, furry fandom. No matter what someone tells you and no matter your mainly lacking or failing intelligence. I've loved you for years, you better damnwell REPRESENT.

but i can understand where you are coming from lol
also, keep loving us please because yours and your soulmates works are both amazing, and yes even the non porno ones XD
I'd hate to see two such great artists/authors dissapear =(
Thanks for liking the stuff, even the non-porn.
and well, while the interest in things "furry" might wane, I won't personally ever stop being a furry INSIDE MY HEART and all that.
people come, people go, all in different fashions but it is first when we let the world crush us that we lose.
and it felt like i was reading prose <3
go write! NOW! *whips and giggles*
I'm definitely not some MEGA WELL KNOWN SUPER ARTIST. I put words together and make shit like HER PENIS WAS VERY HARD NOW.
well, not quite, but you get the idea.
*ahem*
I shall make like a good 14yr old and blame the fact that it's 03.00am around here
>.>
I'll write something.
... something.
But the porn is great.
Outside is ok. There's liquor outside, despite the axe murderers. Sometimes you need to buy it from axe murderers. But yeah, most everything else sucks.
I needed that. have a heartfelt thanks.
I should print that on a shirt or something.

Anywho... I only found furries over the net and though my journey started in VCL as well, it really started here on FurAffinity when I started to actually dabble in the furry arts. It got me to draw the pr0nz.
Though my interest in drawing furry related stuff has dwindled as the human body interests my so much more, I still hold this fandom and community very close to me; it was the first place on the internet where I felt accepted for who I am and seriously... I suck at being anonymous and pretend to be someone I am not (unless it is in role plays); I have to be myself.
I luve ze furries.
you're not in the "grey mass" out in society either, so without these confounded furries, you'd be in some other category right here, on the interwebs.
probably the AWESOME AS FUCK category. if I can choose, anyway.
the charm about furry is that you don't have to be ACTIVELY FURRY to "be in the fandom" it's not like we have some update list or shit that everyone has to come along on and get the latest rage. it's very individual.
draw what you will, you still please my simply furry needs when I whine enough for them.
that's all I need, like I said. needs.
I'm glad you're yourself. you're solid, true.
much like them alternative kids I whined about earlier, just in a different way.
it's delicious.
are they IRL furry friends, internet furry friends or both?
Why? Well, fucked If I know, it's certainly not for the statisical 1,2 submissions I bring up on here in a year Probably it's really just more for the people on here, because some are really quite awesome - y'never know what one might miss.
Not that I'm looking at a certain two peeps from a little town north of Stockholm...oh no... <_<
Well, that's my two ranty cents for now - I'm gonna be off to the dentist to be butchered now. Keep yer fingers crossed
Cheers,

most furries don't last that long unless they are die-hard, the non-militant ones usually cash out somewhere along the way. a great salute to you, sir.
I'm guessing that if a place like this was around from say mid to late nineties then the community would be far more blooming now, a massive network rather than little islands if you will.
I'm glad I can personally entertain some people in this "mess" and I'm glad I don't get that much (hardly any) drama.
dentists are pure evil, they either hate me or love me, I always have holes and crap, even if I try my best to brush etc.
hope they are merciful on your teeth and on your wallet.
Just too bad I'm neither die-hard or militant - I'm just not dead (yet)
And yes, some places have involved into that sorta thing, several forums I can think of and last but not least this rotten thing. The only thing that's remained the same is the folks MUDing - that's still for the hardcore textadventure crowd
The dentist was pretty much sad this morning, nothing to ruin nothing to fix, and not much money to earn either, so it's all good...
