Hey hey hey!
I wanted to ask you guys what you think about people who have changed their Fursona.
Also I would be interested on your opinion about having more than just one fursona

I guess it depends on what you feel your fursona means to you. Most furs (who got together on text only MUCKS and MOOS back in the day) had to think very hard about what creature truly represented how they conduct themselves, and spent a long time coming up with textual descriptions and back stories.
People seem to be able to chop and change more often now, and I suspect this is down to the change of the nature of the fandom over the years.
Ultimately you have to fit in where you feel most comfortable.
ANd later, I look at it and think, its kind of dull and boring to make a character thats basically a "furry Me/What I would look like if I was an Anthro animal" Cause Im ME in the real world, in a different world Id rather be someone or something else.
SO I basically made Characters, each of them different and diverse. But I put a Little bit of myself into them. Like ONE personality trait.
I personally dont see anything wrong with having multiple Fursonas, its kind of like what Im doing where you can't just put your whole identity behind one design.
Fursona changes, well people charge over time and like to reinvent themselves to reflect a new them, so Im all for it if they feel that the current Fursona isn't them anymore
I would never ever change my woodpecker! :3333
No, well, I think you can imagine what I think about fursona changes. Sometimes you just need a change.
And multiple sonas are ok, too.
But it's not a thing for me, because I don't want to handle two sonas, but on the other hand I would never give away my fox and my african wild dog and I can imagine to make commissions with them. They still represent me and my past somehow.
I don't really feel the urge to change my main sona (even if I sometimes feel more like the bull part and less than the cat part but whatever) but there is nothing wrong with having two representations of you. Maybe some days you feel more like the wild boar. Other days more like the bison. It's a visual representation of you so why shouldn't there be more ways to express yourself?
I think multiple fursonas is something good, because sometimes one character just isn't enough to describe a person. Though, of course it's always more handy to have only one. xD
I have no opinion on changing 'sonas a lot, really. You gotta find what you feel comfortable with and what fits you. It can probably be a bit confusing for your watchers but in the end it's all up to you.
