But aren't Dragonair's Dragons? :O

They are dragon type pokemon. They aren't actually dragons. To me, they're more sea serpents than anything. The point is, being called dragon bothers me.

hmm alright then! ^^

oh well, i'm going to miss that big & fat orange blob.
well, welcome dragonair

I honestly don't think that would help.

Maybe not. But the less characters people see here the less likely they are to get confused, right?

No one has ever accidentally called me Ang or Bug, and my most recent piece of art in my gallery is of fox-face!

How would you suggest that I go about getting people to start calling me by my new name then?

Would definitely use the Profile ID function to highlight the fact that your new fursona is a dragonair lady. You're probably not gonna get people to stop calling you a dragon ever, so just work on getting over that. not really a lot else you can do? Just give it time.

Have you thought about creating a new FA account under the name of something like MommaDragonair?

I've thought about that too but it just sounds like so much of a hassle. If I were to make a new one, I would make a new email account to go with it.

I'm honestly not trying to be mean, but be careful, the official, cannon classification of dratini and dragonair and dragonite are 'dragon pokemon', which is listed separate from type. I'm not trying to argue, but some might attempt to use that, so I'd say don't let them get to you. You are what you are, after all :3

So, I agree with Blackspots, you should create a new account without dragon in the name...it'll cut down on the occurrences of such a thing. I wish you good luck in your endeavors!

i'll keep that in mind if you ever decide to drop in on me one day :3

I don't understand what's going on to be honest, it's why I never asked why the fursona change? Ovo
