Follow-up question; How many straps do you use when using a backpack and which shoulder do you prefer if only one?
1a) When and how did you realize you were of this sexuality?
2) When did you first began to gain interest in furry art and drawing them?
3) How did you learn to draw with the current skills you have today?
4) What are your favorite video games?
5) What are your favorite waifus and husbandos from said games, in that order?
Excuse my bucket of questions.
1a) I've always preferred men, but I realized I had some attraction to women when I was in high school. My folks at the time threatened to disown me if I ever dated a woman or black man, so these were feelings I suppressed until I moved out. There was some shit in between that fucked me up but generally I think I came out alright. Years later some shit happened involving 2 people and I quickly discovered kissing girls was awesome and I wanted to do that more. So I did.
2) I always liked animals and cartoons so its very hard to pinpoint when and where it all clicked. I remember it being this this big taboo thing. I read a lot of furry webcomics in the early 2000s and had no idea what it actually was. Before that, probably Sonic the hedgehog. I was all about Sonic and I still love Sally and Knuckles lol. I think someone called me a furry in school once and I was all "whats that?" and they were all "perverts who have sex with animals" so that's all I knew for a long time and didn't question it until I was a lot older. I remember drawing anthro stuff in secret all the time.
3) Practice and loving art and wanting to get better every single day of my life.
4) Horror, RPG, strategy, sims, some adventure and 1st person, most anything with a story that is semi slow paced. I can't keep up with games like Smash and Dark Souls. I like watching others play instead! As far as actual games go, I don't know. There are a lot of favs...uhh...I love Zelda and Skyrim unconditionally. Undertale, Tomb Raider, FF7, Mario 64, Borderlands...to name a few.
5) Waifus: Undyne, Lydia from Skyrim (really obscure), Lara Croft, pretty much any Gerudo girl
Husbandos: Ganondorf (N64 only), Cid, Bowser, Handsome Jack, Zangief & Ryu with beard (even tho I dont play SF, they are a couple of my fav game dudes)
Anyway, so preschool-1st grade me, I was in love with the Easter bunny. I was 100% sold on this idea that a mysterious giant bunny shows up 1ce a year to hide colorful eggs. Back in the 90s there were all these big community events where I grew up. The big Easter egg hunt was one of them. Little kids from all over the valley would show up to this 1 playground by our school to do this egg-hunt race thing. It was a big deal for kids. This was our 1 time to collect candy that wasn't Halloween or Valentines day. It was absolutely SAVAGE. Kids would be clawing each other for plastic eggs, hunger games style. Doing some really dirty tactics. I remember 1 year I wasn't finding any eggs, I was pretty much a push over and didn't want to step on other kids...This little bitch knew it and was just swiping all the eggs I could find before I could get to them, rubbing it in my face and being a real cunt about it. So I'm like, pouting and running around trying to find some egg. This sweet little boy who won the egg jackpot, he had like 20, he sees that I have no eggs and, like a fool, he GIVES ME his 1 GOLDEN EGG. It was really sweet and I will never forget him.
At the end of the egg hunt you have to turn in your plastic eggs to receive your prize. So 1 egg = a shitty tootsie roll or something, but 5 eggs = something way better, like actual chocolate or blow pops. The *Golden Egg* got you one of those giant easter basket things full of candy, toys, all sorts of awesome kid shit. It just looks really magical and special. So I got THAT and I remember on my way out, that little cunt held up her basket full of eggs at me and stuck out her tongue, and I held up my fuckin basket of TREASURE and did the same thing. She was shook.
So as a little kid around the age of 4, this was my peak. I had won this candy trophy. Somehow with my dumb child logic this all just further solidified that the Easter Bunny was real - Like how Santa leaves presents. When you're a kid this young there's no other logical explanation - it HAD to have been Santa, just like this candy blessing from the Easter bunny. He HAD to be real.
Typically all these Easter events and schools would have someone dress up as an actual Easter bunny to 'keep the magic alive' so to speak. I went to a catholic preschool, and I remember this school went to GREAT LENGTHS, hiring an Easter bunny to run around in the playground while we were in class. The teacher would be like "Look, he's there!" and we'd all be like "OMG HE'S REALLY HIDING THE EGGS!" It was cool.
There was this local train station that would hold events every so often. Easter bunny photo op, where the Easter bunny would walk around giving kids eggs with candy and taking pics with them. My shitty grandma was watching me, but she basically like, dropped me off there for the day so she could fuck off. So here I am, this little kid unattended, walking around the train station and I see *THE* Easter bunny. Like holy shit. I am so enamored. He's right there, in the open, just walking around, meeting all his FANS. I mainly remember how short I was in comparison. Thinking back I feel really bad for whoever this was in the suit. They were 100% in character, didn't talk, doing their job being friendly and nice to kids. And here I am, this enamored wide-eyed child, following them around ALL DAY without an adult. I was very quiet, just trying to help them with the eggs and just like, held their hand and hugged them and wouldn't leave them alone. Some people working at the station tried to pry me off of them and I wasn't having it. I would not let this poor person go, they were MY giant bunny and I wanted to live with them in their magical Easter bunny kingdom. Honestly, I could have easily been kidnapped. Someone eventually came over to actually help them and my mom came to get me. As I got older the idea of being a giant bunny and living in Slumberland faded. Some traumas later in life would ground me into reality. High-school era, I was with some 'friends' who discovered furries and talked down about it. They also didn't dress up for Halloween, they were pretty fucking lame. But I wanted to be accepted and went along with it.
My TRUE furry awakening happened my first year of Califur, also my first fur con. It was a very magical experience. I was my truest self, unashamed of all the things I actually really liked, and a party animal. Everyone I encountered was really chill and excited for things that I couldn't comprehend at the time but it seemed like a lot of good clean fun. These memories mentioned flooded back to me, and suddenly I found myself in a room full of *easter bunnies* except everyone was their own unique magical creature and experience and it was just rad as heck. I realized I could safely bring out the part of me that I had suppressed for so many years.
This was entirely too long but I hope you enjoyed the read anyway.
No, my furry awakening happened in third grade. I still remember it so vividly to this day. I always loved Disney and Hannah-Barbara, the idea of talking humanoid animals just kind of went hand in hand with cartoons. Although I was never really "attracted" to them, I just wanted to be friends with them at the most and would frequently fantasize about hanging out with the Ninja Turtles or Swat Kats. Until this shit happened.... It was towards the end of the school year and as I remember, my teachers would always just kinda say fuck it a few weeks before school ended and put on movies for us. They were playing a Disney movie called "The Sword in the Stone" which I had never seen before. Even so, I was a very hyper OCD dumb kid, and really wasn't paying attention to the film, probably drawing or pretending my pencils were rocket ships. It wasn't until this scene happened that the movie had my full attention: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Dakr05NRCA
Yes, the Squirrel Scene is what did it. Of course this was way before I hit puberty, so the scene just left me very confused. But when the scene was over, all I could think was, "but I don't care about the stupid story about knights, and wizards, and magic swords, what happened to Squirrel girl!? He's gonna change back into one and live out the rest of his days with her, right!?" But that never happened. I absolutely hated the movie for that. It also sparked my fetish for sexually aggressive women. I was under the impression that someday a girl would take a liking to me and pretty much pull the same stunt as Squirrel girl. Of course now I know that no such thing actually exists or will ever happen, but the fantasy is always there, forever waiting for my real life Squirrel girl to arrive. As I grew older, of course it started to be less about wanting to hang out with the Swat Kats, and more abount wanting to hang out with Callie Briggs instead, or any female animal creature for that matter, fantasizing about them going Pepé Le Pew on me.
I still have yet to go to a fur convention, so I still can't exactly remember at what age I officially took the title as furry (2005 or 6 is my best guess). But Disney really fucked me up, man.
Fun fact - I met the bros who made Swat Cats. Got their autograph. They're fantastic fellas.
I only had one pet rabbit my entire life. His name was Spotty, and he was terrified of everything. We'd open his cage to let him get some exercise once in a while, but he would just cower in the corner. We had to drag him out by the scruff of his neck and he would bite us really hard. We only had him for about 3 years, then he died. Also yeah, he chewed through my Dreamcast cables and I was devastated because I loved my Dreamcast.
I still really like the ideas Cen and I developed for it. It doesn't feel right working on it without her but we're both busy with life and keeping ourselves afloat. Recently (since the end of last year) I've been learning C# and Unity when work was slow. Eventually, someday, I'd love to make a horror/adventure/dating sim visual novel using all those characters. I think that way would be a lot more manageable for 1 person than drawing fully shaded/detailed comic pages. I have been experimenting and have an ok-handle on Renpy, but I think Unity can offer a lot more with gameplay. The first chapter of Nastacula was finished long ago, but there is so much more to the story I want to tell. I am greatly inspired by La Blue Girl and I'd love to get back to it someday.
