halp, I'm stuck...

Wassup guys, it's fuzzbutt Daniel again!!
So, I got this Noodle-Derg fursona:

I don't want to get deep into why this character existed in the first place. It's a long story and kinda personal, but sufficed to say it was a thing between a friend of mine and I, and it symbolised how protective, kind and supportive of her that I was. When we did this, she affectionately called me "fuzzbutt." Eventually, this image became a small, but precious part of my self-identity, like a second-self. Not sure when, but it slowly went like that. Then it grew with time.
After a while, I started doing silly doodles of the character. Flying around, dancing, all sorts. It became something totally of its own, still "me" but it wasn't just that private thing my friend almost entirely. I shared some of the old art I did with the folks here at FA, and thus it officially became my fursona. And so it remains, not that most people here honestly realise that. I don't know who remembers, but when I took a long hiatus from FA (nearly a year) and finally came back, I brought the old 'sona out again... only as a joke, I thought it'd be funny if "I" was stuck up a butt, and I couldn't draw stuff until this wolf-girl set me free >W>

It was fun to draw (though dated now... >.>;;) and fun & jokes were had. Heck, I did a new pic recently, a sketchy piece which was to be my first art on Twitter:

That's "me," the picture symbolising my exploration of a new landscape, that of Twitter, the little bird leading me into the depths of its wilderness.
Thing is though, I'm stuck on what to do with him... me... my sona. It's so very personal, part of my "identity." I'd love to craft things with "me" as this noodle-derg. It's still how I kinda see myself whenever I'm on this site, when I post as Dudertron/Daniel Sharpe on Twitter, GiantessBooru, when I talk to all of you. I don't do RP'ing, it makes me feel awkward. It doesn't help that I'm not good at improv, never have been, which is a large part of what RP'ing is. I don't really want to craft "stories" for the character, because it wouldn't really feel like it was happening to "me." I stopped using the derg for Patreon teasers because "he" got a reputation for being just the Patreon Noodle-derg, rather than just being a way for me to talk directly to you about stuff I was excited about.
I want to draw art for the fuzzbutt "me" but I don't know what art, what scenario, or even if it's something you folks would be interested in.
So I wanted to ask you folks -- what do you "do" with your fursonas?
What can you suggest that I do with this noodle-me?
How do you recommend I explore this self-image?
Thank you for taking the time to read this and help me out in this ^w^;;
Though thus far, I haven't really come across things which bother me about the furry community, at least not directly. Heard lots of stories though.
