alright lets do this maybe this time I'll remember when I posted this and not forget to check it for... apparently months??? to the point I cannot find it in my menchies?
fursona quiz memm answers: 1
ARTS! by Catterfly (first and last, with the last also starring @rycuda for some cute snugglin'), Ottahz on FA for the second, and Catboots for the third which also stars as my icon :D
fursona quiz memm answers: 2-4
2: Not my first, no. My first was... actually a winged silver fox? I have... one piece of art I think, but I have no idea who drew it or why, I didn't commission them that I remember, I just got... given it randomly and it was cute?? but I failed to write down who gave it to me ;;
fursona quiz memm answers: oops I forgot 3 and 4
3: Basically it got... "procedurally generated"?... ini that I created a new character on SPR MUCK just called "Nine" with no other traits or description or anything as I couldn't figureo ut what character I wanted to created while I was in some kind of weird fugue state... Eventually I squeaked quite instinctually in embarassed response to somoene's playful teasing and I was like "...wait what squeaks maybe?" and someone mentioned "maybe skunks?".
fursona quiz memm answers: actually 3 continued because I AM BAD AT NUMBRZ
And my brain latched the fuck onto it. At the time though I was... not well I guess? So I started playing around as this new character who I hadn't intended to put so much of myself into but DID? but I didn't realise at the time? so I sort of... abandoned the character. It wasn't until a couple years later I tried to resurrect the character elsewhere to reuse it that I realised just how much more comfortable it was to me.
fursona quiz memm answers: 3 final part. also 4??
That was about the point I also started admitting to myself I wasn't cis as well... whiiiich I guess also sort of answers 4 too?
4 addendum: Again, it was literally "what would I love to wear given the chance?? and with a body kinda like mine, but also not male because that doesn't feel right for some reason???? lol i dunno can't POSSIBLY be that i'm not cis lol". Afterwards it became "holy shit this is just me why haven't I noticed. god..."
fursona quiz memm answers: 3 final part. also 4??
5: hahaha this is a little embarassing actually... (´·ω·` ｡)
so basically I'd been reading through the Flash version of Ruby Quest again. I really really liked that story for some reason, like it was just the right mix of silliness, dark horror, cuteness and feels. aaand of course being an awful nerd i wanted to make an OC based on it. hence "Nine".
But also I recognised the need for an actual NAME so... pulling it out of my arse, I chose "Ren".
fursona quiz memm answers: whoops that last one was 5 this is also 5.
Ren is clearly short for something bigger so my brain just went "uh, uhhh... Ren-... alia??... Renalia. yeah."
It is only very recently that I realise that is also the name of an extinct plant that I can only describe as a "buttshrub" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renalia
not helped that I gave my sona the last name "Leaf" because it sounded pretty okay with it
fursona quiz memm answers:6 for real now. Food being discussed
6: :3 since it's me, pretty much everything I like, but I LOOOOVE Cherry flavoured stuff. also I'm particularly partial to spicy food. Not like, ridiculous spicy like "lol what are tastebuds rofl" spicy like your typical friday night lager louts wants but actual flavours with spices, so more reasonable, proper Indian food, not this vindaloo bullshit. (though tikka masala is pretty nice too ngl). Also burg. and potatoes. <3
fursona quiz memm answers: 7! (additional notes)
(super wish I could pull off the second outfit shown on the chibis at the bottom tho it's so cute <3 )
fursona quiz memm answers: 8!! this is a quick one tho
How long?
I mean... TECHNICALLY like... several years. Without realising it.
From the point where I recognised it was my sona? and it was me?? and it was was so much better and made so much more sense than a fox for me?
Like... I dunno... two years maybe?
fursona quiz memm answers: 7!
7: MORE THAN I INITIALLY BLOODY REALISED OMG.
Seriously not only was it just the second time I used it when I ported my at the time "character" over to a roleplaying chatroom someone was setting up to be my primary character, but I had a second revelation that "Oh shit right this is me" that actually properly stuck when I finally got my refsheet done which I'm posting here for you cause why not :o It's by LeafyAkiko. :D
