(Furry robbery)
Robber: PUT YOUR PAWS UP WHERE I CAN SEE THEM
*everybody in the bank raises their arms*
Robber: aaaaAAAWWWWWWWW MY GOSH LOOKIT ALL THESE LIL BEANS
Living so long in an environment that is blatantly hostile towards you is so fucking damaging, all it takes is a particular look or a less-enthused response to a question/statement to send me spiraling into the idea that I've done something wrong or angered you and that I'm bad
My sister and I have both escaped from our abusers (in this case the abuser being our father, with our mother being complacent in said abuse) and lemme tell you I now have fun cool habits and tics left over, sometimes if a door so much as opens too fast I'll panic
furry being sterilized and mass marketed is the worst timeline not only because it would kill the amazing space we've all worked together to build
it also means youtubers would do fursona reveal vlogs to cash in on the trend
imagine jake/logan paul being dipshits in fursuits
Hell, as soon as I hear any sort of movement just outside of the room I'm currently in I immediately tense up and get scared
I'm just so used to being at the mercy of my abuser that I prepare myself for worst case scenarios at the drop of a hat
Fat fursonas are valid and important as all hell, because not everyone body fits into the lightly toned furry stereotype, body diversity is a thing
And being/having a fat fursona does NOT make then inherently a fetish or lesser than a thinner fursona
My fursonas are fat, unapologetically so. They're big, and they're staying big.
I have a fat fetish, but that doesn't mean that my fursonas should be looked down on for being fat. I am plus sized irl, having plus sized sonas has helped me be more comfortable expressing myself
Bad, super lame: biggos who constantly try to one up everyone and always have to be the biggest in the room and put others down
Extremely good and wholesome: Biggos encouraging and helping eachother to get bigger, constantly supporting and complimenting each other’s size
Hey fat fursonas are just as valid as a regular fursona! it doesn't matter how big said fat fursona is, just like a regular fursona they're a part of the creator and are used to explore people's body goals and interests!!
As someone with anxiety:
Please PLEASE do not start off a conversation/text chat with "Hey" or "You there?" or anything vague like that, I know you don't mean to come off as ominous but those kinda openers don't give indication of what to expect and they make anxiety spike HARD
Here's a hypothetical:
You're given a button to press.
If pressed, your fursona becomes entirely, 100%, real. You can talk with them, interact with em, etc.
But the catch is, you're the only one that can see or hear them, they are completely undetectable by everyone else.
*Nervously, into the microphone*
Wh-What if I....
eheh gosh it's hard to say b-but, uhm, what if I got even FATTER...
*Fumbles with microphone in my big plump hands, drops it onto my gut causing the loud slOORSHing grrrrrrrrgles of my gut to be broadcast over loud speaker*
Reminder that fatfurs and inflation furs are a perfectly valid and wholesome part of the furry community, having kinks is valid, and your fursonas dony need to fit some stupid thin/moderately toned body type in order to be valid
