@chuxen@queer.party NEVER APOLOGIZE FOR FURSONAS~
that was REALLY NEAT actually and i appreciate it! i started going through and picking out some chars also, but sleep and work got in the way =x
(i wanna do this, i am similarly embarrassed x3)
@heytanuki @chuxen Saxxon is one such shadow fursona - well, they've been a perfect sandbox to explore, and have revealed *so much* just through narrative and empathy, I wonder if at some point they won't be 'shadow' anymore
@Saxxon @chuxen@queer.party whoa! that's interesting! since i've only known you as Saxxon it's hard to imagine!
coming into empathy and understanding about this stuff is wonderful though 💖
@chuxen@queer.party of course, i've never changed main fursonas, but like, that's not to say that's a goal or makes me a gold star furry or something. x3
only really close friends have seen things, but the red panda got some play on my tumblr... OFMG i forgot i had a deer too, that i just ..... lllll looov vv v vv ee ee
all this stuff being tied up with my preferences + "fetishes" (omg these are v v recontextualized now) made it hard to see the forest for the fursonae
@chuxen@queer.party artfriends Stigmata and Sasha Jones give a neat talk on queerness and furries, and one of their ideas is, sometimes we have a "shadow fursona" that's a different gender and is used, temporarily or not, to explore ideas + feelings. their talk is good and they're always looking for input! (i owe them some! aljsdgjhasjkd)
i had a few: male but malleable (skunk), female but brash + crass (red panda), then a v soft friend who's none of the above (another tanuki! i just love them)
