Sucks a bit to have a fursona that changes so drastically when you live in the shadowy edges of this fandom, where it's hard to have a recognizable "face" in the first place, but it's just not something I can avoid.

My life takes dramatic turns here and there. When that happens, I look at my self depictions in these forms and find myself detached from them. Not because they didn't serve their purpose, but because they inadvertently represent a time and state of being that I left behind. The essence of "Adele" has never changed. Floof, giant ears, big sloth claws, a long muzzle. Her silhouette if you will. Something about dipping her in bleach and reworking her palette is therapeutic to me though. In a way, I can reinvent her into whatever I've reinvented myself into, and the connection will remain, instead of a repellent.

When my life changes, it's generally because I'm leaving something unwanted behind. For that reason, I leave old!Adele behind too.

For the record, that doesn't devalue gifts and goodies that I've received over the years where old!Adeles are featured. In many ways, I embrace the pleasant and meaningful aspects of my past, and I would never seek to forget the good things I went through. The change is intended, as always, to be a from-here-on-out alteration.
