i’m sure my icon speaks for itself here, but i’ve definitely seen a few of you skittering about in some of our threads. show yourselves at once! maybe post your fursona even (if it’s safe for work)
Just your average horse boy here. Don’t mind me.
hello!
… Do I still get to claim I’m merely “fandom adjacent” if I’ve crafted several 'sonas and have actively played as them in various media? Asking for a friend. :P
probably not, sorry 😔
Darn. Ah well, wouldn’t be the first time I’ve realized I’m something well after crossing the threshold. Won’t be the last.
Yeah think ya got a terminal case of the pathOwOgen there bud :p
YoUwU can’t be seriOwOus!
Owh NowoH DoCtOw ItS SpwEadIng ;w;
… I think I may have to stop the escalation there before it infects my internal dialogue.
You may stop for now but the seed has already been planted mwhahahaha evil thunder sounds
You monster. Even if the gods forgive you I…
Okay, I’ll probably also forgive you. Eventually.
Would it help if I pulled out the finger guns as a hail mary attempt to distract from the weight of my sins?
I dunno if it would actually do anything but it feels rad to do regardless :p

Hello! Just exploring other instances from pawb.social! Edit: Larger version of my avatar, by Animal_shapes.
Squawk!
i can’t believe they let birds on the internet
If they banned us you’d have to get rid of your top half, and you don’t want to make an ass of yourself :3
Hello! I don’t get involved in the community much (because shy), but I would consider myself as some kind of wolf.
+1 here, funnily. But only kind of? Kinda associated with the community when I was younger, grew a little away from it but still consider myself one? Just happy to be a dog on the internet I suppose haha
probably half of the coolest people i know are also dogs on the internet so this may be an intrinsic property of being one
That’s a high bar to clear I hope I can be that cool one day
Hi! :)
My fursona is also my username ^^
Thats a pretty nice piece of art there!
Thanks :D
very cute!
Thank you! I like how Jerboa/lemmy auto embeds the image. Refreshing, coming from reddit!
I’m dangerously furry, though I keep on the down-low.
Me kinda? I’m adjacent. I think. I’ve been in and out as a lurker in the fandom for the past decade or so. I still don’t have a sona… mostly because I can’t decide what species.
Entry level furry. If it’s a character I like, I might do the deed to them but I don’t seek it out outside of that
Not on Beehaw but I am a subscriber over here. My account is on Pawb
deleted by creator
Has a furry community on Beehaw been considered? I don’t know enough to decide if it is necessary or not based on the number of people here. I think Creative would suffice so long as those browsing there aren’t bothered by it. But I wonder if furries are already hesitant to post to general art places in case it isn’t received as well. I want to see all the furry OC’s and artwork people have to share here, but I also understand that turning half the posts on Creative into furry content could get annoying to those who don’t want to go there for that.
not immediately; if things started to get crowded in serious a community would probably get created. for what it’s worth my post was received pretty well earlier this week, so i don’t think people mind too much, lol
I’m not. I’ve always been curious about how people learn about it, realize they’re a furry, etc.
What’s your story of how you became a furry? What does it mean to you?
adjacent to the community since 2011; i created my fursona in 2017 because most of the people i am friends with are also furries. that remains the case. this is just kind of an intrinsic part of my personality and if i’m honest it makes talking with more normally oriented people kind of boring 😅
Think I joined and made a fursona around 2018 but I’d thought they were pretty neat ages before. I think I took the plunge since the community appeared to be very friendly as was quite LGBT positive and I was looking for somewhere to make some friends. Went to a meet at the city closest to me and then boom, here I be :D
I’ve moved in and out of the spaces for a while but never fully immersed, in part because I didn’t feel strongly about any potential fursonas, and have a disinterest in the most popular art styles used. I’ve used a rat as an avatar in the past but I don’t consider the rat to be representative of me so much as my artist’s signature. And it’s always been drawn as a cartoon rat, not an anthro rat.
I did used to draw a lot of aliens, monsters, and dragon-people though, and identify with those. It helped me feel stronger or more capable to imagine myself that way. If I ever do settle on an animal to present me online and join the furry community ‘properly’, it will probably end up being either a fantasy fusion, a scalie, or both.
