My First Journal!
13 years ago
Hello all ^^ To anyone who is watching me or even cares to read this. How ya'll doin? As you all know I'm a dragon living in New Hampshire in the US. I wanted to go ahead and post because I had something I wanted to talk about.
I'm planning on going to two anime conventions this year, Connecticon in Connecticut and San Japan in Texas. Now these are my first anime cons Ive ever gone too and I will have friends there to be with. But my current problem is I'm nervous about going, and I'm nervous about mentioning to my folks.
As a separate topic, my parents while theyre wonderful folks and have taken good care of me; arent entirely fond of the idea I'm a fur and want to be something other then human. Playing a dragon on Secondlife, being a Tauren in World of Warcraft, Mithra in Final Fantasy 11, all of which my folks were not entirely fond of. They even know about my transgender wants and other things. So I'm really nervous to bring up the fact I want to try to get my hands on or make a Yoshi costume (full suit or partial) to go the conventions this year.
Have any of you ever gone through a time like this? How did you work through the knowledge that your parents knew? And were they accepting? Its my life and I'm free to do with it as I please, but it doesnt help me being uneasy.
On a side note, does anyone have some ideas where I could get my hands on a Yoshi fursuit? Or a particular fursuit maker you're aware of? Or references on a good way to construct one? (Also, sharing this because its made of awesome: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hN4FPnqjJLI )
Thank you much for reading.

XD Still haven't told my folks, so your lightyears ahead of me in that regard, sorry.
As for the suit, I suggest browsing around FA for some fursuit makers, there should be a fair number, you might get lucky and find one that'd do a yoshi one.
As far as the parents knowing about it, I'm sorry that they seem to be taking it so negatively. I told my parents about a year-and-a-half ago and they didn't seem to care much. I was actually stupid enough to hint at the fact I enjoyed it sexually too, but even then they didn't care much. I know for sure that I'd never come out to them about be bisexual or being an Otherkin. Although... it can't be all that bad right?
The point is, it's all about your delivery. Sure, you might not have started off on the right foot, but you can still fix it. Perhaps keep it a bit more low profile around them?
Anyways, good luck!
