Role of Furry Support
8 years ago
Ok so I'm paraphrasing a term used in the SCA "Fighter Support" but the same idea and roles ably which is why I'm using it.
What is Furry Support? Honestly it's our lifeline. It's what keeps those of us who suit alive at events. You are the most important person to us yet we hardly think to say Thank You.
+You're the person who makes sure the suiter takes a break and stays cool.
+You're the person who walks around with sealed bottles of water and passes them out because you know we forget to hydrate.
+You're the person who keeps bags of snacks at the ready when we suddenly realize we haven't eaten and our blood sugar is crashing.
+You're the person who helps us get into/out of the suit.
+You're the person who walks with us to make sure we don't walk into others, the wall, table, etc.
+Without you we would have to do things alone and that would suck.
You may not suit, or be able to draw. And you know what that's ok! Because we need you more than we need another picture.
So even if no one else thinks to say it know that I am:

THANK YOU for everything you do for us!

OP
Feel free to share it! More people need to realize that those who are in this role are valid and important. I do fighter support and I remember at my first war someone asking if I was married after pouring pickle juice into his helm. :) lol
