Portal was stolen :/
General | Posted 2 years agoI hate that it comes to this but unfortunately it is very common in the Furry Fandom. Inevitably, someone finds a character or fursona that they like and, rather than try and create something on their own that is different and unique, they steal another design and claim it as their character.
It happens even more when the character in-question is popular. This has happened to people like Telephone, Captain, and all manner of other creators and their creations. I have even had people steal Cheshire before and I had to report a TikTok account multiple times for using my character as their profile picture because they were also claiming the character was theirs.
When the Protogen species came out~ I was quick to get one from my buddy Flamesvoices. I had just beaten the game PORTAL and therefore, we decided on a Portal-themed Protogen simply named "Portal". He was made over 6 years ago...
This design quickly became popular in the community with many people also wanting to get their own Portal-themed Protogen. Now, don't get me wrong...you cannot claim a pallet and you absolutely cannot claim ownership over the "idea" of a character based on a video-game. There have been MANY portal-related Protogen, but each one is different and unique, despite using similar color schemes and being based on the same game. Then, you have this person and their "Portal" on r/furry (that I can't even link to)...and their design matches mine pixel for pixel with only one small change and it's not even enough to tell the characters apart.
THIS. IS. NOT. OKAY!!!
This is not even "inspired" by my Portal is it is a blatant ripoff. Worse, I see that this was made over ten months ago. For ten months, someone has been going around with a blatant copy of my character with the ONLY difference being the symbol on the hip. NOT COOL. This...is character theft. They are taking a character that is meaningful to me and doing whatever they want with it. Now...naturally, I am the type to think that maybe this was an innocent mistake...so, I did send them a few messages on the matter through Reddit, hoping they will see it.
I'm still waiting for a response...but whether or not they choose to do anything about this, well, unfortunately...that is the problem when it comes to characters. Since ideas like these can't often by copyrighted (if at all) in ay way that keeps them safe, copycats and fakes will pop up all the time. All we can do is block these people, ban them from communities, and hope they wise up and change their ways. But, I wanted to put it out there that these people need to be corrected (not rudely mind you- don't harass people, but do educate them on why they can't just steal someone else's character and the damage it causes).
This has already stressed me out. I don't know this person...I don't know what else they have stolen, whether they take credit for other things I have done or posted, whether they are a good person or a complete asshole online. I can't speak for any of that. If they made a suit, I would feel even more horrified because again, this is essentially my character, they just slapped a different sticker on the hip and called it a day. It's horrible behavior and I wish it had been called out ten months ago. I seriously thought it was fanart for how close it looked to my own Portal and I am HORRIFIED over this!
So, please...if you see this person posing as "Portal"- they are not Portal. I am the only one that owns this character. This is my character they have essentially stolen and I AM NOT OKAY WITH IT. Please ask them to take the character post down and/or change the character to where it does not mimic mine.
Again, I am fine with Portal based characters...but this ain't it...

Rest in Peace, Buttlord~
General | Posted 5 years agoThis year has been a year of funerals for me. I lost my Father figure in February, and my Wife just recently lost her Grandmother this month. And right after losing her Grandmother, before she even managed to come home, our sister-in-law
ladygreer passed away.
I can not express just how sad I have been. Some might find it silly, but I just saw her two weeks ago. We made dinner plans and a Dot Hack movie night together. She was so excited for the Final Fantasy XIV update, and we were gonna start working out together once the gyms opened back up.
But she wasn't herself towards the end...and I even called the cops for a wellness check. At the time, they told me that she was fine, so I was content with that. I just figured she wanted some alone time (as someone with depression, I understand). But, a week later, she was gone.
The amount of people I have contacted and had to tell them about this loss...I can't say that it hasn't weighed on me a bit. I just knew that the longer we went without telling her friends, the worse it would be for them. Her friends were her life, her Discord was like her home, and I knew these people deserved to know, deserved to have their chance and mourn...and it didn't feel right to leave them in the dark. Greer was someone I had heard horror stories about before I met her. She was supposedly that mean and grumpy person that was just impossible to be around. When I first saw her (she towers over my 5"3 ass), with her black hair, sunglasses, etc. I was terrified.
She asked me to drive with her to the pet store one day and I was too scared to tell her 'no', so I went, not sure what to expect. What we did was talk about anime, porn, and Pokemon, and it was one of the most fun days I had ever had. That alone built a friendship that meant a lot to me...even if I had a hard time showing it.
I got on her streams, she gave me the nickname "Lezbot", and I gloated because having a nickname must mean I'm special...you know? I don't have a lot of friends, I'm a very picky person when it comes to people. So this was just an awesome moment. I know she had her besties and the people she talked to 24/7...but I was always thrilled when she came to me for advice or to vent. I did her house tour on facetime for her (with my wife) so she could see if she wanted her house before moving. When she was finally only 20 min away from me, I was actually happy that we would get to hang out more. She would come over, get a hot meal, play some video-games. I watched her play Dark Souls, and I'm the only person that got to see her beat Super Mario Odyssey. We were always talking horror games (especially Silent Hill), talking about our favorite anime, or helping each other on Animal Crossing. She wanted me to try FFXIV and was going to teach me how to play...but I put it off, and now I wish that I hadn't. I now have the free trial downloading...and I guess it's just one of the ways I'm trying to show my tribute to her.
I have had days where I cry...and today I'm doing better. I'm just bracing myself for the hardest parts that are bound to pop up in the future. I dunno what's going to happen...there's just so much stress. I wanna comfort her friends, but they barely know who I am. I wanna do something special for her, but I don't know what. I want to help her Husband, but I barely know him either...and so I just try to make him laugh when I see him. And I'm also trying to comfort my wife who lost 2 people she loved dearly in a matter of 2 weeks.
Before anyone asks (I probs should have made a disclaimer earlier), she did not die to COVID. There were some other things going on, but we still don't have a cause. So I ask that you please don't pry. I already have a ton of people I need to keep updated on the situation...so, if you have any other questions, thoughts, etc, I just ask that you DM me here or something. I will try and get back to you when I can.
I guess...I just needed to vent. One of the last things I mentioned to her is that I find it hard to believe that anyone likes me because of my awkwardness, anxiety, etc. she laughed and told me to "shut up". And I only wish I had been able to tell her how happy that made me...that I knew she was my friend, always had, and that it really, truly, meant the world to me. I was looking forward to so many adventures together that I could never express. And now she is gone.
And I miss her. I miss her a lot.
Rest in Peace Buttlord.

Update 12/2019
General | Posted 6 years agoHey guys, it really has been awhile!
So, this is probably gonna be my last journal of 2019, so I figured that I would give some updates...
#1
First thing on the agenda is to talk about how I never made it to ACFI this year.
It's sad because both my wife and I had free admission and we were really looking forward to going. But really, everything just turned into a mess. There was the issue of rooms. Originally we had a room that we were sharing with a friend and some randos. But slowly, people started backing out, then our friend had to back out. When prompted to possibly take over the financial responsibility of the hotel room...well, my wife and I were just not comfortable doing that (since we would be rooming with strangers) and the other person was not comfortable with this as well (which made sense). So that was issue number one. Then there was the complications of finances. My wife just got out of the military this year...and unfortunatel the pay we were promised did not come in until much, much later. This meant back-bills and a personal loan we had to take out. The gas, food money, etc for a con just did not make sense.
No matter how much you want to go to a convention...real life responsibilities come first, and unfortunately that played a part in us not being able to go. And lastly, there is still the issue of Rune's suit (but I will bring that up in another section). The plan was that I was supposed to have my other partial done (the character Cheshire). But she was incomplete and I would be poodling this year if anything. While I have nothing against ppl that poodle...as Cheshire has been a project that has taken a very long time...at this point I want a finished result...not just something that's 80% done. This is just my personal preference. And my being uncomfortable in an incomplete partial did kinda affect my decision not to go as well.
#2
Rune's suit has been something of a discussion for awhile now as the head has been falling apart since I got it. I don't blame the maker of Rune as they were new to fursuit making and inexperienced. But the head just has not held up as good as I would have liked. Bald patches among other things make me uncomfortable when wearing Rune. So at one point I was considering just retiring the suit altogether. At first, there was the possibility of getting a 2.0 head from Rune's original maker. They offered to make me a brand-new head (as they said they have learned a lot and have improved a lot) and said that all I had to do was pay shipping. This actually sounded amazing, so I took them up on their offer. Unfortunately, this maker does have a lot going on in their life and they tend to ghost. Rune 2.0 was discussed back in October 2018 and no word of it has been spoken since. After a year, I dont really have any faith that it will get done.
There was a rumor that there was a Rune 2.0 in the works as a possible "gift", but nothing came of that as well.
The final options are either to retire the suit (as planned) or try a refurb. My friend flamesvoices offered to do a refurb as she has some grey fur laying around. That would solve the most noticeable bald spots on the head...but this is a temporary fix and will just extend 1.0's life a little. Ultimately a 2.0 would still be needed in the future...but nothing has been planned since I do not have the money for another suit and probably wont for years to come.
#3
My Furry blog has been silent...mostly because I really have nothing to write about. I could go back to doing interviews and finishing my gaming series, but I have lost almost all inspiration for that. So I'm really not sure when I might start that again if I ever do.
#4
Because of the issue with Rune's head...my YouTube channel has also gone pretty quiet. My plan was to have Cheshire completed so that I could continue making videos with her until Rune 2.0 was available (meanwhile pulling Rune out every once in awhile to do a small video or something). But again, Cheshire still isnt finished...and without the suits, I can not make new content. It's sad because this is not what I had intended to happen. My YouTube channel was my pride and joy. But these things do happen I guess. But it seriously bums me out nonetheless.
I guess the last bit would be that I'm still not in a position where I am financially secure. This year really hit the wife and I really hard with new cars being bought, her Jeep breaking down, and all sorts of other things happening. We have bills running out our ears and nothing went as planned. We were hoping that by now we would have been looking for a house, etc but we just have too much debt that we really need to get rid of first.
So, what little art you see here was something I saved up or it was a gift (or gotten via trade or Amino coins most likely). Rune as a character is collecting dust, and, I feel bad about it...but there really is nothing I can do about it atm. I can not promise that 2020 will be better in this regards (financially) and I'm thinking that making it to a convention would be nearly impossible unless someone else footed the bill (which I do not want or like). So I don't really have any plans.
If I can get Cheshire and bring her home, then I can at least start doing small YT videos again...but if she is not finished then there isn't much else I can do but sit and wait.
Sorry if the updates were a bit depressing, but I just wanted to be open and honest to whoever follows this page.
If you do want to help me out, consider getting a writing commission from my writing page
MasikaTales [WARNING: 18+ content]... OR you can purchase a commission from my wife
Shewulf7 (she is currently doing headshots) or you can commission sketches from me via my art page
Element02 --- thank you guys for taking the time to read this, and I hope you have an amazing rest of 2019 and an even better 2020!

General | Posted 7 years ago Nothing too fancy to say here...
I am registered for the Alamo City Furry Invasion and I am eager to see what they improved upon from last year!!!
I will be going with my wife (shewulf7) as well as my buddy flamesvoices)---
Rune will be there, and afterwords I might be making a bit of an announcement in regards to his suit.
Lastly, there might be some new faces showing up this year, and I am looking forward to making a debut! :D
But that's really all I had to say. Things with the YouTube channel are a bit stale as I try and figure out some things regarding Rune...and the blog is moving on very slowly. I might get back into my interviews and such just to get things flowing again.

There's a 900-sub giveaway on my YouTube Channel right now:
General | Posted 7 years agoMy YouTube Channel <---Link
I have finally reached 900 subscribers over on my YouTube Channel!!!
This actually means a lot to me because I never thought I would see a day where I even made it over 120, let alone beat that number b so much!!!
When I first started the channel, it was meant more for me to record my adventures so I could save them. I didn't expect them to get as popular as they did...I never expected so many people to fall in love with Rune as a character, and I'm so honored for all the things having this channel has brought me: friends, fan-art, just a lovely set of people that make every video 100% worth it!!!
For those that never followed my channel...every 100 subscribers, I color in an Angel-Dragon base to be given away to one lucky person. All you got to do is follow a few rules, and then I generally pick a winner within a week or so. This time to get the Angel Dragon (colored on a Clown-Grin base):
1. You have to be subscribed to me
2. You must let me know how long you have been subscribed (in a comment)
3. In that same comment let me know what your fave video of mine is
4. And lastly tell me why you want the character.
There has been some confusion in the past where people think I am giving away a fursuit or something. But I'm just giving away a character, NOT a fursuit. Obviously if you fail to read and follow the rules, you are not entered into the giveaway...
And if you're not subscribed, you can not enter either. This is to thank all the people that have stood by me during my YouTube hiatus.
A HUGE GIVEAWAY IS HAPPENING AT 1000 SUBSCRIBERS WITH A VERY SPECIAL CHARACTER!
But we gotta make it that far before more is revealed ;)
Anyways, thank you all again. I need to work extra hard now to breathe some life back into my Channel.

TFF 2018- still relevant?
General | Posted 8 years agoSo, it is insane how long it really takes me to recover from a convention...especially when you end up with the con-crud. ^^;
But yes, I made it back from TFF 2018 and decided that maybe it was time just for an update journal?
I had a blast at the con and can't really say too much negative on the convention's part. I know that since this was the first year at the Hyatt Regency, there were some rocky moments; people complaining about lack of parking, the elevators getting backed up and such. Also yes, there was a bit of drama (but it's a Furry con, what do you expect really), but overall my experience was purely positive.
I will say that I took a much different approach to the convention this year. My first TFF was all about wearing a Fursuit for the first time and really getting Rune out there and exposed so that I would feel more 'welcome' and 'accepted' by people. I'm not sure why I thought that was something so important...but it really had me spending the convention looking through mesh eyes the whole time, and it was only later that I realized just how many suits, goodies, and events I had missed.
ACFI was sort of the same way...with my YouTube becoming more, and more popular...I focused less on the convention for 'fun' and spent more of it trying to get pictures to make that next awesome video for my channel. I feel like I spent the con looking through a camera lens...and again, I feel like I missed out on so much even though I had a good time. So this year, I wanted to try something else.
I did not suit as much; part of that was because health-issues, part of it was because Rune's suit is falling apart...but mostly it was because I really wanted to 'see' what this con was and what it had. I took less photos, but when I took a photo, it was more for myself, more personal. I took more pictures out of suit than pictures while in suit to really feel like I was there and that it wasn't just Rune. And honestly, I feel like I had a lot more fun and was a lot more relaxed at this TFF because of these changes.
But I'm home now and I can not say where my schedule will put me.
I spent way too much money at the convention and so I am not sure that I will be there for ACFI this year, Sucks that I might have to miss it, but adulting does come first. Also, Rune's suit really is on its last legs right now. So, I am trying to take it easy...that's one reason why I no longer make as many videos because the more I wear Rune, the more his fur falls out and the glue breaks down...and I'm trying to keep him up for as long as possible.
Because of him falling apart...I will eventually have an announcement on Rune and what I plan to do about him because of his condition. But I am waiting on some things to happen first, some ducks to line up so that I don't have to go and change said-announcement a million time, you know?
But back to TFF:

I Re-bought Strix!
General | Posted 8 years agoI purchased back my Rowlett baby from
flamesvoices because I missed him dearly.
There are so many babs that I need to spoil with art, and I really want more Pokemon stuff. So hopefully I can sell more adopts in order to do so.
But yeah, Strix uploads will be incoming since he is back up on my character roster :)

[VIDEO] Interview with some Dragons!
General | Posted 9 years agoCaptain and I have another video up!
It's HERE! Click it!!!
Happy Fursuit Friday everyone!
So, Captain and I finally got together again and were able to make another video for you guys! This time we answered a few of the questions people submitted for us such as:
"Why Potatoes?"
and someone asking Rune if they knew who Jacob was x3
But not only that, we did something super special for you all in introducing: "Interviews with a Dragon!"
Rune and Captain sat down for a series of simple questions such as:
"What's you name?"
"How old are you?"
"What's your favorite color?"
"What's your favorite food?"
"Who is your best friend?"
and: THE SUPER-SECRET END QUESTION!!!!!
And it's full of laughs and fun, and silly Durgons meant to brighten your day. So, I highly suggest checking it out!!! We are still making videos, and, we are always taking questions. We have a TUMBLR specifically for this (which I will post about later). But, you can also ask questions in this journal as well as on the YouTube video itself!!!! :D We would love to hear what things you wanna know!!!
Here's hoping you all have a fantastic weekend, and, we can't wait to make more videos for you in the future!!!

In need of emergency funds!
General | Posted 9 years agoI seem to have found myself in an unexpected pickle...
Before I left for California, I thought was good on funds - that I would be scraping by, but that it would be doable. Well, that was BEFORE my ride decided he needed extra funds because he had to pay money at the gate, and that was BEFORE I learned I could not withdraw money from my credit card at the ATM meaning I had to make a Walmart transfer...and that was BEFORE I came home to see that the girl that had fed my fish came over ONE TIME and covered the whole top of the fish tank with flake food, and that now my fish was suffocating at the top of his bowl, and I had to make an emergency change of water....
...leading to the conclusion that this fish needs a NEW tank, and a fucking filter despite what my wife thinks...
SO!!!! I am in need of emergency funds ASAP to not only cover the crazy walmart bill I have now, but to cover a new fish tank with a filter for my fish so that he doesn't have to be completely miserable all the time :(
The fish tank and filter should not run more than $50...
...and the credit card is at least $200 at this point at MINIMUM (I know it's much higher but I can try and pay the rest on my own).
For those interested in helping me out...I'm selling Traditional sketches over at:
Element02 for $5
and then I might be willing to do short-stories via my writing account:
MasikaTales for $15...
Ultimate goal is nearing $300 which I know I wont reach quick but, any little bit helps. Thank you.

Stolen Fursuit Head
General | Posted 9 years agoI saw this today on Facebook (it was being shared via friend)- and I figured I would share it here. I guess there has been a Fursuit head stolen from a table at FC (Further Confusion) located in San Jose, California.
The people who made the head/ were displaying it are asking the Community for its safe return. They are asking people to contact the con staff if they see it or if anyone has any information on it :/
Blog contains image of the Fursuit head in question: https://runesfurryblog.wordpress.co.....-fursuit-head/
PLEASE SHARE!!!!

First Fursuit Q&A with Captain is up!!!
General | Posted 9 years ago1. Video LINK:
HERE! CLICK IT!!!!
The first video is up!!!
Thank you to everyone that went and submitted questions for us to answer. Making this video was so much fun, and, there were so many giggles involved as we got through as many things as we could. It took us over 7 minutes just to film the intro because we were laughing so hard and just being goofy. So, you can be sure that there will most likely be blooper reels in the future.
Anyways, in this video, Rune and Captain get to answer these fun questions (summary):
"What are your Fursuit Crushes?"
"What Video Games do you play (if any)?"
"What are your weapons of choice?"
"What is your persona and why did you choose to use them?"
As I said before, more vids to come in the future from these two. Special thanks to flamesvoices who made this possible. From the amazing thumbnail, to the awesome video-editing, to finishing Rune's fursuit paws...really could not have made something so funny and amazing without you
But, if you like the video, feel free to like and share. It's also posted over on flamesvoices YouTube Channel as well :D
WE ARE STILL TAKING QUESTIONS FOR MORE VIDEOS IN THE FUTURE!
So, if you have anything you wanna ask...feel free to leave it in the comment-section down below, and maybe it will get answered in a future video :D

Looking for more groups to join on here?
General | Posted 9 years agoLike the winged-furs and tolerant-furs...
I have been trying to find different groups to join but, I'm not sure where exactly to look for those?
I usually just find them randomly when I am stalking other people's profiles and such >.>;; but yeah, here lately I have not found any. So, any dragon-fur groups, fuzzy dragon groups, or anything like that, that people think my characters would fit into...feel free to leave me suggestions to check out because I would very much love more of those little icons to add to my user page
Thanks in advance!!!

My YouTube just reached 300+ subscribers!
General | Posted 9 years agoTo most that might still seem like a really small number...but to me, well, it's actually rather huge!
Also, I'm not dead...thought I should add that.
But, in all seriousness, I was not really sure what to expect when I started my furry-channel. My gaming channel had been very basic but had much better editing and yet, I only ever had the most subscribers when I started doing creepypasta readings for games. So, when making rune's channel with shittier editing (because I could no longer use my old program), and then the first editing program crapping out on me so that I had to use a completely different program that made life easier but still lacked a lot in what I needed to do really good editing like I had before...well, you get the point...
I did not expect the Channel to do well.
But here I am 300 subscribers later and still climbing, and, I could not be happier! I only hope that I can do better videos in the future just as SOON as I figure out how to do the whole bit with buying an actual video camera, and getting a better editing program for my computer and etc etc etc.
But yeah...just wanted to say how happy and amazed I am to have 300+ subscribers on my channel. Because people have been so awesome to me, I will be coloring a base by
flamesvoices and giving it away to one of my subscribers...so, stay tuned for that video to pop up if you are someone that watches me or watches any of my vids.

General | Posted 9 years agoHey everyone.
So, here in the last couple of weeks, I started an account page for my writing commissions:
MasikaTales --- and if you know someone that might be interested in something like this, I would greatly appreciate a boost, so that I could possibly get more watchers.
I have already sold 4 writing commissions that I am very proud of. I get my writing done in less than a week when I am not busy or distracted, and I have only recieved good feedback thus far.
What do I write?
Well, my commissions are adult-themed (generally NSFW) romantic writings between two characters. Porn...I write porn. Haha. That's the blunt way of putting it at least. HOWEVER, I can write anything you desire! I would love to work on more action writings and writing about character lore. But, in general, I mostly write out a sex scene and the building up to said-sex scene for the masses to enjoy.
Another perk my page offers is "rentable story characters"...
For those that want a custom story but do not have anyone to be paired with, well, I have some characters that I have in folders just for this occasion. I have males, females, herms, even transforming parasites to basically fit your every need! For $5 you rent a character and then you pay that on top of the commission price.
How much does a story cost though?
My stories are all PWYW (pay what you want) right now. But the minimum for a story is increased to $15 because I think it's pretty fair considering the amount of care and detail I put into my writings. But, I am willing to haggle sometimes if you're having a problem making a certain pay-goal.
But, I am in need of the monies right now for sure, and prefer working to earn money than getting donations. So, if you're at all interested, please watch the account, send me a message on that account if you have any questions, and I really hope to be working with you in the future!!
P.S= Commissions are OPEN right now. I have 4 slots left! Please claim yours today!!!

Making DutchAD Morph Potions on Furvilla...
General | Posted 9 years agoFURVILLA PLAYERS:
So, thanks to Keke of the Angel Dragon Community, I was able to buy the DutchAD morphing Potion...I also have an Herbalist for growing seeds, and an Alchemist to make the potion.
IF you would like a potion made for you...I need the seeds or flowers required, the cost of a capsule container (50FC), and then the fee for making the potion which the recipe says is 1000FC --- I will NOT charge you for making this potion since you are giving me the supplies to do so. I want to help everyone in here get their very own AD, and I needed the potion so that I could submit a Paintie of RUNE (I submitted it before, but, it got declined b/c the paintie did not match the species of my villager which is a regular Dragon).
Here are the supplies needed:
1. Capsule Container x1
2. Flying Red tip x1
3. Flying Lightbulbs x1
4. Flying Squiggles x2
5. Flying Daffodil Bunch x2
6. Flying Daffodils x500
7. Flying Daisies x500

If you cannot afford the flowers, you can send me the seeds and I will grow them with my Herbalist. But, if you have this stuff and want a potion, send it my way, add me, send me a message, and I will get you a potion ASAP. :D
Lets help each other out.
My username on Furvilla is: RUNE_AngelDragon so feel free to add me :D
So, thanks to Keke of the Angel Dragon Community, I was able to buy the DutchAD morphing Potion...I also have an Herbalist for growing seeds, and an Alchemist to make the potion.
IF you would like a potion made for you...I need the seeds or flowers required, the cost of a capsule container (50FC), and then the fee for making the potion which the recipe says is 1000FC --- I will NOT charge you for making this potion since you are giving me the supplies to do so. I want to help everyone in here get their very own AD, and I needed the potion so that I could submit a Paintie of RUNE (I submitted it before, but, it got declined b/c the paintie did not match the species of my villager which is a regular Dragon).
Here are the supplies needed:
1. Capsule Container x1
2. Flying Red tip x1
3. Flying Lightbulbs x1
4. Flying Squiggles x2
5. Flying Daffodil Bunch x2
6. Flying Daffodils x500
7. Flying Daisies x500
8. 1000 FC
If you cannot afford the flowers, you can send me the seeds and I will grow them with my Herbalist. But, if you have this stuff and want a potion, send it my way, add me, send me a message, and I will get you a potion ASAP. :D

Rune's Furry Blog!
General | Posted 10 years ago Hello all, it's been awhile
So, for those that do not know, I started a Furry blog a few weeks back, and it actually has not been doing too bad!
I'm really excited about it, and all last week I had the chance to interview artists so that I could fill the blog with content! Over 12 artists from FA helped me by answering questions and providing their Fursona so that they could get their names out there...and that's not all!
The blog has a lot of different features and categories that I think people can enjoy and get excited about:
1. Furry Highlights: Furry highlights is where I showcase furries from all over the world. I showcase artists (linking back to their galleries of course), watchers, suiters, other types of hobbyists. If you are a furry then there's a chance to appear on my blog. The only questions I have fleshed out right now are for artists...but, once I get other questions fleshed out, different variations of people in the Furry community and fandom will start to appear. I want to be the voice for those that think they are invisible. I want to bring us all together via our love for anthro and feral animals alike. So this is the main feature of the blog.
2. Fandom Issues: I feel that anymore, what tears up the fandom is not the criticism that we get from the people hating on the outside...I now feel as though most of the division and hate in the fandom comes from the inside. Between wars of species, the white knights that like to attack on people, or even hate groups against "basic furs"... we are fighting amongst ourselves when we should be uniting to stand against the hate we still get from the outside. There will always be inner battles of a fandom, and this section will discuss that.
3. Furries in the Media: I want to showcase furs in the media when I find it. Newspaper articles, actual footage of conventions, and etc. I want to showcase the Furry Community as a whole for the world to see. This section basically explains itself...and will most likely be used as a post-filler when I'm not interviewing someone and/or have fallen behind on posting ^^;
4. Shoutouts! Because what blog is not complete without a shoutout section to the awesome people that help promote the blog and/or help the blogger? It's just polite really. :p
5. Rune's Rants and Vents: I'm just like anyone else and occasionally, I have to let off some steam about a subject matter. That does not make me a terrible person because it's normal. Also, it's my blog...so I can technically do what I want. Either way, I am going to be opinionated, and the ranting and venting posts are a means for not only getting some weight off my chest, but a chance at a discussion with others.
So there you have it...that's the gist of my blog, my "Magnum Opus" as of right now.
If you're interested in helping me out, I'm always looking for furries to interview and showcase. Questions are anywhere between 10-20 long and everything I ask is always optional (so you don't have to really answer the things that might make you uncomfortable). Also, any watchers to the blog is helpful...so, feel free to spread the word. The link to my blog is down below.

On the debate between AD and DAD...
General | Posted 10 years agoHere recently (as in this morning), there was a debate going on over what was considered a "Dutch Angel Dragon" and then the Angel Dragons which were now being called "Feather Dragons". Feather Dragons kinda irks me as a name and term because, since I have made Rune and even since coming back to the Furry Fandom in 2013 after a long absence (been a furry since 2008 mind you) the species I am representing with Rune has always been known as an Angel Dragon.
I guess that many Angel Dragons have been coming under fire for the use of lineart that is interchangeable between DAD and Ad species.
The DAD species says that the Angel Dragons have rounded muzzles and therefore would technically be considered a Dutch Angel Dragon, but that other characteristics on their design make them fit more of a Feathered Dragon species so they must conform to DAD rules or find a lineart and design more suited to Feather Dragons which means a pointed muzzle.
I think this is pretty ridiculous really. Why should it even matter? When I was making Rune, he was originally going to be a Dutch Angel Dragon...but, because of the guidelines (no run around the muzzle, more horse-like characteristics, no genitalia, cannot breed, etc) I decided for a regular AD instead. It's not really well outline on the website the difference between an Angel Dragon and a Dutch Angel Dragon. According to the website, when one refers to an Angel Dragon they are generally talking about a Dutch Angel Dragon which is just not true...
Also, a muzzle should not determine what makes a DAD or an Ad as there are dragons portrayed with rounded muzzles all the time, and not everyone likes to draw their dragons with scales. While in Feral form, it's easy to distinguish between a DAD and a regular AD (because one looks more like a horse and is generally much smaller than an actual Dragon), in chibi form...does it really matter? The chibi form used by the DAD community do not even look like horses...nothing about them does. That same lineart used by the Dragons does not even look so much like a dragon, but it's own thing altogether. The fact that people use this as a representation should not be a battle...and someone's design should not have to be changed just because they have a rounded muzzle or would fit more in one category when they are clearly classifying themselves as another.
That would be like someone coming up to me about my main sona and telling me to change my design because real wolves aren't blue and they don't have wings. They tell me to change this because I'm not following some new rule about the wolf species out there when clearly I am not just a wolf, but a Winged Wolf. My character is my own, and since I designed her, I should not have to change her to appeal to a certain group because their species looks similar and has specific rules. So, if someone clearly identifies as an Angel Dragon...they are not claiming to be a DAD and therefore are not under DAD rules and guidelines. Also, if they picked up a lineart that an artist has clearly marked for use of AD & DAD species, then they should not have to change the character because other than the few guidelines that the DAD have...both species are very similar and a lot alike.
I made Rune a regular AD because being such gave me more creative freedom, and luckily, I have not gotten flack for it...but here recently, a lot of the people I have seen in communities for Angel Dragons are coming under fire when it's really none of their business.
I can understand if a species is SUPER unique in that there is nothing else that looks like it and then someone goes and breaks the rules...
but, if you make a species loosely based off of another species, OR if you create a sub-species of something else...you don't get the final say in what someone does with a character in around that species you created because...it's loosely based on something else, it's not original in that you are the only one who ever had that idea, and I'm pretty sure that others made characters like that long before certain other characters even existed. I find it all very tiring and I'm not even in the tight-knit groups of AD and DAD communities...
Why must we fight? Someone has a character they love and whom they identify as...just leave them alone.
Unless under very particular instances, one should never have that right to lash out at another person and demand they change their character...
