Furry Chat

Hello. I am an ally, and I am happy to support this community in these trying times.

A bit of a weird question.. If I want to have fox ears and tail (like, all the time if it was practical and not taboo), some cute noises, but still consider myself mostly human, what does that make me?

I often call myself a fox girl. does the label furry apply according to this community's standards or is that more for full bodies/paws/suits etc?

thank you! <3

Hey everyone, between yesterday's security incident on some lemmy instances and the horrible heat that won't let me sleep properly, I'm feeling a bit flat.

I'm still around, but taking a bit of a break from server stuff now that things are mostly stable.

How's your day going?

Not just to share the characters and the stories with a wider audience, but also to get worldbuilding tips from likeminded people, and more ideas on how I can be creative. Let's see if I can get your attention with this opener...

Welcome to the world of the Two Collided, also known as Castoria.

This planet was of a bizzare shape maintained by a cosmic reaction; as it was not one sphere of rock hurtling through the void, it was two. They were their own distinct landmasses, however their extremely close proximity along with some magical intervention allowed the oceans of the two planets to link, creating a stream known as the River of Deaths.

The two planets that now make up Castoria are Pherica, the world of Skin, and Geodeus, the world of Hide.

Recently, humankind and its' relative races had fallen on hard times. Elvenkind's individualism was used against them by a creeping curse that required collective action. Dwarvenkind's life below the rocks was shattered by an earthquake the likes never seen before, further disasters growing only more intense. Humanity's livable territory was all but wiped out by a huge internal war. The Tieflings have been afflicted by a dire famine, all the lands they own turning to barren dust. The list is endless, with one great calamity after another striking each race- None on Pherica seemed to be safe.

It was though the planet itself was determined to kill everyone who lived there.

As a result, many nations of Pherica launched exodus ships along the River of Deaths. These settlers had two purposes... Firstly, to scour the lands of Geodeus to see if there is a root cause of Pherica's affliction, and secondly, in the event that Pherica really is doomed, to ensure that the races will live on.

Many ships were lost along the violent tides, astral winds, and extreme magics of the River of Deaths, but some have reached shores on Geodeus to establish settlements, where their adventures would unfurl...

Of the initial adventures, one of them was of particular note. In the chaos of the exodus, Chromatic Dragons attacked, and they destroyed a ship that wasn't meant to carry refugees, but to transport something never meant to see the world again. A Deck of Many Things. Obtaining the deck, an actor who only the surviving gods know undid the cosmic reaction that held Geodeus and Pherica apart, sending them crashing into each other. Through the intervention of the god of Metallic Dragons, Castoria avoided total extinction... But with almost all of Pherica having aggregated around the River of Deaths, then the impact all but wiped out Phericans entirely.

Now, the survivors of Geodeus need to weather the storm and rebuild. Whether they come from the old and mighty nations that were founded by the first of their kind, or the newer and more far-sighted offspring nations- all will be tested, in the World of Two Collided.

Fun fact, in my original plans for campaigns on this world, then the campaigns as a whole were meant to be about saving humanity and the other refugees by ultimately preventing Pherica's impact and destruction, and a general lesson on compassion. However, I gave the players one chance to get one card from the Deck of Many Things, the wizard promptly obtained The Fates and undid the cosmic reaction that was keeping Geodeus and Pherica held apart, not realizing what they were doing until Impact, resulting in The Derailment Of All Time.

Not exclusively, but as a fun addendum to promote fedi artists.

What do you think?

I would like to commission someone to design me a minecraft skin based on my sona. But I was unsuccessful so far finding someone good at this specific task. But I thought I may give it a try to ask here.

just saw the notice to come and introduce myself, so here i am. i moved from lemmy.world since it had issues with stability and i'm having a good time. i have a short into in my profile so please feel free to check it out, and ask any questions if you're curious.

I use twitter and I really like the furry art community on there. I also like Mastodon or related ActivityPub services.

Due to recent events lots of people search for alternatives and I feel just very frustrated see all those artists looking for Zucks Threads or Jacks Bluesky when Mastodon is right there, without a chance of a twitter situation ever happening again. They seem to avoid Mastodon like cats avoiding water.
What have we done wrong, and how can we make it better.

Hey everyone, first post here ^⁠_⁠^

I'm trying to connect with other furries and hopefully make some furry friends (all of my current friends are not), but having a bit of trouble finding where to go.

Apparently the Furries of Iowa discord is super dead and the link on disboard to Midwest Furries doesnt work anymore.

Does anyone know of any good furry chats, preferably on discord and focused on the Midwest (hoping to actually make some localish friends)?

Nothing Hurts Tattoos offered a flash sheet today and I got this adorable porcupine. It's my first tattoo and I'm really happy with it. I have some other, bigger tattoo ideas but can't fund those projects right now hahah

Also, feel free to share your first impressions <3

Awooing is officially allowed!

Title kinda says it all. When trying to browse New, cause I like to see new posts and new discussions cropping up, every 5-10 posts it seems to be a post from the Lemmy.online rss feed bot gathering posts from reddit and posting them here. And their is like one new post from a human inbetween. (・`ω´・)

This was rather... Annoying to say the least. It kinda bugged me because it feels like a bot run amuck trying to Karma farm when their is no karma to be earned here. (￢_￢;)

I like to see posts and discussions from the community here on Lemmy. Not stuff from Reddit because a bot is sharing it. (눈_눈)

Now I get it, sometimes their can be useful or interesting things shared by the bot and some people may want that. Some of you use it to get more yiff than you do here on Lemmy and I fault none of you for that. (Though I got an RSS reader on my Fedora install that takes care of the yiff content from reddit for me.) (￣ω￣;)

Now I know it is a problem I have and I fixed it by blocking the bot. ( ´ ω ` )

But it does leave me curious, how many of you use the bot to get that extra dose of yiff or any other content from reddit? Or were you like me and blocked the bot due to how annoying it has become for you? (•ิ_•ิ)?

I was looking through some old songs from animated movies tonight. This one brought on some intense nostalgia. I know all dogs go to heaven 2 isn't the best movie, but I had the biggest crush on Sasha la Fleur. And I very vividly remember loving this song, but feeling embarrassed to admit it to anyone (don't think I ever did).

With shit like this though https://youtu.be/6wjR1ZciUBQ, how did everyone not turn out to be furries?

Konbanwa everyone, Kitsune-sama here! I know some of you furs are good at cooking, and even if your not, it would be fun to hear about, or even see what you have cooked today! °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°

I'll start! I just got through air frying pork Katsu and cooking some rice to make a simple bowl of katsu-don! I would have made a Tonkatsu Sauce to properly complement it but... (￢_￢;)

I was out of some ingredients so I made a simple Teriyaki sauce instead. ( ´ ▿ ` )

Found it worth sharing!

Just wanted to shout out @Wander for running the tech for all this, and all the work he does for the community, running admin and fostering discussion. Having a place for both adult furry art (nice posts everyone) and adult furry discussion is exactly what I was looking for in a local server to call home.

Cheers Wander and everybody else here, you all seem like pretty cool people <3

What's a current or past furry crush you have from an animated movie, show, book, game, etc. ?

I'll go first.
I first discovered Klonoa in a demo disc for the PS2. I was way younger back then, of course and even though I wasn't able to afford the game I fell for the character.

Fan art of Klonoa was probably one of the reasons I discovered the furry fandom.

I got a MASSIVE headache. How's your day going so far?

Well, furry is a big part of my life, but unfortunately I feel like I'm missing out on a lot by but expressing it more.

When I was a teen I loved the idea of wearing a collar and having furry posters all over the walls. And now that I'm an adult in his thirties I dress very vanilla and my home decorations are too. It's like one of those things you always want to do, but then you need to either negotiate with your partner or explain things... At which I'm very bad.

How does furryness manifest in your life?

Heya. It's just me, System Searcher.

Finally made the jump to Lemmy and now I'm somewhat here.

I'm a weirdo who is less of a furry and more of an overall xenophiliac, along with a bit of an obsession with celtic knottery and other such designs. As you can clearly see lol.

Hope to find myself at home aronud here!
