Journal spam! Fursuiting meme
16 years ago
General
Mememememememe time.
How many fursuits do you own?
Two. I've got my Flint suit but I've also got a Realms of Enchanted -made brown fox that I got before Flint. The latter rarely sees action these days; the last people who wore it were in fact my friends when they fursuited alongside me.
Toony or realistic?
Toony. Realistic can look really amazing and I wouldn't mind owning some really realistic looking suit one day, but cartoony's my preference in general. Cuteness and big personality are lifelines.
Favorite Fursuit Builder?
Hard to say. Arend Studios and Kodi Pup have an awesome style, the latter in fact made my suit so that's proof enough for my love towards that particular style. But there's a lot of really amazing suits made by less-known individuals whose names I sadly don't know. Not to mention my name memory resembles a gigantic sieve with extra-size holes.
How long have you been fursuiting for?
I got my brown fox suit a year and a half ago or so but I wasn't really in the proper furry circles at the time yet. So I'm gonna go with about four months - ever since I got my Flint suit, really.
Have you ever did any sexual activities in fursuit?
No strategically places holes in my suits.
If you did any sexual activities in fursuit, what where the positions?
I'm amused by how this meme drove straight into kinksville almost as soon as it started. Can't have those furries not yiffing, no sirree.
Do you watch or post anything on XTube?
I've never posted nor have any intention to but I've seen stuff there. Amateur porn is silly.
Favorite fursuit species?
My favourite species in general. Foxes, raccoons, kangaroos, badgers, etc.
10 out of 10, how much do you love fursuits?
10. Big thing for me, stupidly and embarrasingly big. Nothing better in life than acting a bit goofily as a cartoon animal for a while, bringing a smile to people's faces.
Partial or full fursuit?
Full. I've nowt against partials themselves - I've seen some brilliant ones - but personally, for me, partial's a bit... not enough. I prefer the 'full illusion', being a furry character all the way through.
What was the best fursuiting moment?
Confuzzled 2009, the fursuit parade. That was utterly, absolutely amazing. The May Manchester meet's fursuit walk section was pure awesomeness as well - just a bunch of cute critters invading a park full of sunbathers, so much amazing interaction with non-furs.
I love public outings.
What was the funniest fursuiting moment?
I managed to conclude my very first public fursuit outing ever by walking right into a lamp post. People were amused. Embarrasing yes, but utterly funny.
How long can you last in fursuit?
Probably more than it's healthy. I don't really know my limits, I haven't exactly tested them, but I do love spending loads of time in the suit.
Have you ever got too hot in fursuit that you fainted?
Nah, but I did feel like just sitting down for a while after the Confuzzled fursuit walk.
Are you getting any other fursuit commisions?
Not at the moment but YES in the undetermined future. I want to build up a fursuit collection because I'm weird like that.
Do you watch Fursuit TV?
Often but not always, depends on my mood whenever there's a new update. It's a great little thing, that.
Pawpets?
No, it's not really to my tastes.
Got any fanboys or fangirls?
Loads of people seem to adore my suit which makes me quite happy!
equium is the closest thing I've got to an actual fanboy, eh mr gigantic surprise glomp as soon as he saw a glimpse of me in a meet.
It's all awesome.
If there where no fursuits in the furry fandom.. Would you still be in the furry fandom?
I actually found the fandom through looking up info on "mascot costuming" so unless I bumped into furries again, I might not have been. I do like the fandom in general though so I would have probably identified myself as one anyway in the end.
Would you let anyone hug you in fursuit?
That's what I'm here for!
Would you want to get buried in fursuit at a funeral when you pass away?
No, I think that might be a bit too much. Plus in a way I find it cooler as an idea that my suit would be passed on to someone close (and furry) after my demise to let the character live after I've kicked the bucket.
Would you get married in fursuit?
As much as the sheer hilarious novelty of the idea amuses me, probably not no.
Have you done charity work in fursuit before?
Nope, but certainly would have nothing against it.
If someone started fursuiting for the first time and wanted advice.. What advice would you give?
I'm an utter newbie myself so I'm not really one to give tips, but if I were to try and say something profound and wise like a great fursuit guru, I'd say mirrors. Cause you can't control your facial expressions (well, in the case of most suits anyway) or generally see perfectly in-suit, posing in front of a mirror and learning your looks, angles and what you generally look like when you pose is a good thing to do.
Says the person who's current place of living doesn't have any conveniently sized mirrors.
What is the most impressive fursuit that you ever seen in the whole fandom?
I don't know. This is more of a question of technical quality, I think suiting is just as much about the suiter himself as well as the character he's assumed. Plus, you know, I'm a simpleton who thinks that moving jaws are impressive hi-tech and such.
Is fursuiting your favorite hobby?
It's my only hobby that makes me feel alive, so to say. My other hobbies are mainly very individual in nature, fursuiting I can do with and around others. I always get a really great natural high after a good suiting session. Of course I never actually answered the question but yeah, it's a special one.
What are your alternative hobbies apart from fursuiting?
Probably my primary hobby, as in something that encompasses a lot of my time and thinking, is music. I'm a big packrat of a music collector (331 CDs at the moment which isn't insanely but still a rather nice amount), I obviously listen to it in a very obsessive and focused way, I love writing about it (two blogs, reviews to RateYourMusic, big personal site in plans and which will probably never actually finish going past the plans stage), and generally it's the stuff I sink my time and money in.
I used to be a big gamer as well, still am but not as hugely obsessive about it. It's a bit of a case of rose-tinted glasses there, bring back late 90's/early 00's plz.
Does fursuits and fursuiting rule your life?
Not right now no, doubtfully ever will either because despite me being a giddy tit with my head in the clouds, I still try and keep my feet to the ground. But fursuiting is definitely a big thing in my life and I hope for its signifance to grow as I get older (read: more con attendance, more fursuiting fun with friends, etc). Life would be so much more boring without them.
