How do you use species?
17 years ago
It occurred to me just now that I've done (mostly lately) a lot of work with deer:
Summer and Fall: Seasons of the Hart, Troth of Actaeon, If they Dare What I Dare, On Honey, Awinta's Hat. One is an idle daydream, two are meditations on procreation, and two are meditations on women's gender identity.
So I got to wondering what other patterns are in my species picks? Here're felines:
Vera, Tiger's Milk, A poetic Form, Definition?, Petit Roman D'Estruce Feline, Flexible enough to sin, Lou, Circus Leopard. Two of these are poems about (something striking about) somebody's fursona. A couple have just passing mentions of felines in them, a couple are goofy pieces of erotica, and the last is an RP character I was trying to draw.
Horses:
Who would eat horse?, Omnomnom, Rhiannon, Rhiannon And Prometheus, Mare Liberty. The first four revolve around the fourth, a soft sci-fi story about a planetary colonist's son and genetically engineered horse-people, the first two being pr0n, and the third, a song written by the main character.
The last, though, is essentially mythic in reference. Which brings me to...
Cattle:
Hakael, Happy Yule, Legend of the Lunataur. Two drawings and a poem, all steeped in mythology, and hinging on the perhaps clichéd perception of cattle as maternal.
Foxes:
These rest don't bear individual listing. With my foxes, the common theme is that they're transgressive/poronographic. A conscious decision about how to portray the species, not that it was overwhelmingly original of me. Then again, I also have a volleyball playing fox who's fairly tame, and a friendly barking poem at a nice vulpine gal here on FA, Goldenfox, neither of which are meant to be obnoxious.
Rabbits:
Also a foil for overt pornography, mostly, this time in the person of a single character, Cocoa.
Bears:
Well, there's the lovely sketch of my fursona that Goldenfox did, as well as a poem or so about myself. Also, there's a pregnant brown bear.
Other species:
I dwell on a Woolly Mammoth in numerous pieces, as well as a Skunk in several, but they're individual characters. I have John Brown as a goat, and an encyclopedia entry about a kind of magic goat. The mammoth is joined by a pig and a coyote at some point, where they're portrayed as goddesses. I have a couple girl dogs in unconventional lesbian relationships. A naughty drawing of a hyena. And a looong poem about Cacomistles.
I find this breakdown odd, finally, since I think of myself as mostly a dog/bear fan. OTOH, deer have been a long-recurring theme, with me. I dunno why, but if there's a "first" in the catalogue of furry daydreams, it's definitely one about a deer-taur (later a were-deer).
