That Fursona Meme
16 years ago
Currently closed for story commissions! See this journal for details if you want to look anyway.
Once again, a meme has been going around. I stole this from 
TheMadCatter, though he says he'll probably remove it from his page. For the record, my fursona, or at least the closest thing to it, is Vincent Linus.
1 – Do you and your "fursona" look alike?
Well, Vinnie's an anthropomorphic fox (well, usually) and I'm a shifty-looking Canadian. I dunno, we both smile an awful lot and sometimes I picture him with a little tuft of fur on his chin like my goatee, but other than that he's pretty generic. Sometimes our eyes are the same colour too, but he Changes that a lot since no one pays close enough attention to notice, and it amuses him to do so.
2 – Do you and your fursona share attires?
I suppose we do, I'm not that complicated a guy, mostly T-shirts and jeans, with a hoodie thrown on when it gets cold. Vinnie is much the same, though that's probably more since I don't really pay much attention to clothes. I don't think I've ever actually described what Vinnie is wearing in a specific scene, apart from when it's something out of the ordinary, like a bathing suit or a dress. I wonder if Vinnie looks as good in a suit as I do...
3 – Do you share the same sexuality as your fursona?
That's kind of tricky. I'm a straight male, and so is Vinnie... most of the time. He's technically a hermaphrodite, though unlike all the other herms on FA, who run a drooling-pussy-and-rock-hard-cock combo, Vinnie's species, the Mokaji, 'toggles' at will back and forth between male and female, with the unused organs going dormant. He prefers being male, and he's only interested in girls when this is the case. But once in a blue moon he'll girlify himself (not the actual term), and in that form, while she'll go for a male if she really likes him, she still prefers the ladies. So, basically we do share the same sexuality... except when he's a lesbian. :P
4 – If you hadn’t already made your fursona look like you, if you would to change how he/she looked like to make him/her look more like you, how would you think he/she would look like?
I think I would have to make him bigger, honestly. Vinnie's pretty average in size, but I'm naturally large. Not like chubby large, I'm slightly thuggish. On one occasion I was taking a walk at night and an old lady locked her car door when I walked past. What was I talking about again?
5 – Did you work hard to develop your fursona? What is the (brief) history of your fursona?
It sort of happened naturally, actually. When I signed up to FurAffinity, I did so entirely so I could see the delicious porns. I made up "tastes like green" on the spot and became a lurker. Eventually, I started writing comments on art I specifically liked, and that grew into me being fairly outgoing on the site. Not wanting to have the anonymous "cup full of art utensils" icon, I whipped one up in MSPaint that vaguely tied into the username, a mouth with a green tongue. (The icon I use now was made later by my good friend
Dogmeat) Still later, I decided I wanted to actually submit stuff to FA, and made up a character who would tie into the name and the icon, a character with a green tongue. Vinnie's personality and the entire Mokaji race basically grew out of that.
(if you meant "personal history", well, that's what the stories are for. )
6 – Do you and your fursona share relationship status?
Technically yes, as we're both single, but Vinnie has this weird habit of constantly running into women who are intensely attracted to him and thus has a prodigious amount of casual sex. (You see, it's funny because porn doesn't need to be logical) I, on the other hand, have been as chaste as an appropriate metaphor for far too long now. :P
7 – Do you find yourself jealous or upset if your fursona gets paired with someone you don’t like, or your partner does?
First off, no partner, as previously stated, and while my initial reaction to art of them with someone else would probably be to feel ever-so-slightly jealous, I'd get over it quickly enough. It's just a picture after all, so it's not like I would freak out over it. I try not to let things like that cloud my ability to appreciate a pic. Secondly, there are only two pictures about Vinnie getting his freak on. One of them is by
Asuraludu and is based on a story I wrote, and the other was a quick sketch made by Dogmeat of V and her character Seren Tremio (who was her fursona at the time), who I like almost as much as Vinnie seems to. So I have no idea how I'd feel if someone drew Vinnie with someone I don't like, though I'd certainly enjoy being popular enough that it became an issue. n_n
8 – How would you like your character not to be used?
Uh, off the top of my head? Okay, pretending that people actually want to draw me fanart, I don't want to see Vinnie involved in stuff like vore or guro or scat, and I'd prefer not to see him in any male/male stuff, at least not without my permission, though hot girl-on-girl when he's female is a-ok. I also harbour a special dislike for non-consensual transformation stuff, especially transgender, but that's not much of an issue for Vinnie since a Mokaji can always just immediately Change back to a form they prefer.
9 – What’s your fursona’s speciality?
Hmmm. Well obviously, he's a shapeshifter, though I haven't really used that all that often in his stories, apart from in Regal Beagle and to a lesser degree in Seren's New Toy. I should probably try experimenting with that, maybe have him try different species to mimic, or at least write another story where he gets in touch with his feminine side.
10 – On a scale of 1-10 how much are you and your fursona alike?
I'd say about a six or a seven. Vinnie and I are about equally laid-back, though he tends to hide his darker moods better. (He's got a dark side, of course, everybody does, his just hasn't really been explored... yet.) We both joke a lot, and I like to think there's a tenderness to both of us, which so far has only shown in Vinnie by the way he ensures that the girls he gets with enjoy themselves at least as much as he does. n_n
On the other hand, I'm not a shapeshifting hermaphrodite who has more sex than he knows what to do with, so maybe we're not that similar after all.

...*yoinks meme*
I like your summary of mokaji 'toggling' their sexes because it makes me imagine they have m/f hotkeys that they can press.
