I circumvent the whole real self/fake self thing by making my fursona my true self. I AM my fursona, making another fake me never made any sense.
That's also me
same, except my fursona is a lot more confident and slightly more villainous. Basically living out my villain actor dreams through my fursona lmao
Me too. The name's different, but otherwise my fursona is me
It's thanks to the fandom I was able to unmask myself more and more showing my true persona in my daily life as well as my orientation.
although, sometimes the mask IS the real self that is not allowed to come out irl… and the suit/avatar is the representation of the person that is banned from the world.
This doesn’t discredits what you said, just that, I’ve seen many cases in which the suit turns to be the real person… and their normal face is the actual mask irl
I can say that I don't know how to be more authentic, because a lot of people has said to me: "You need to be your authentic self and not put on a facade." I really am the person, who I portray to be. Only thing what I hide is the fact that I swear a lot more, than in work or during content creation.
Although I am NOT a Furry, I love Furries and I admire them.
...And here I am, not really putting any thought into my frog-sona's personality or lore, because I just want the joy of making an innovating headpiece with my own hands...! It's only a mask in the most literal sense of being something that is in front of my face; there's no real thought behind who the character is, and until I saw this video, I hadn't even noticed that I wasn't giving my character any...well, character!
Wise words Artemis
I just realized how toxic my “authenticity” is with the fandom 😭 thanks for the great video
i wherer about too comment that i mask on to become true selfe, but some have allredy done that. so insted be urselfe find urselfe is ur own journey and mask is perfect for expresing ur authentical one, "give a man a mask and he tell u the trouth" nothing added to the coment section. but thank u artemis for great content as allways
Well. Since I had issues knowing about myself, my fursona just ended up being muh Brain inserted into a fox, that's it... However, that fact of not feeling connected to the character has harassed my mind several times (do I really like this species? Do I really like this fandom's nature? Is this fandom where I belong? Is my orientation what I think it is?) but I just keep going ahead that there's a problem with my way of being.
The thing is, the fear of not connecting to the character may be an issue since my friends in this fandom already know me as a fox with a tie...
As a furry, rn on the side I am using a base sheet so a plan on how many pattern parts or colors I'm going to put, and then practice on making my own fursona and once I do that I already thought of making a fursona that I will be myself, I am my fursona.
Nice vid, thanks!
Thanks for your thoughts on making a Keyfabe around your fursona because like you, I like to bring lore to my fursona by acting as him and through that. As Bruzo, I tried to act by the lore of the saxhleel people as in I say certain phases, sometimes I act as an indigenous person even though that I sometimes get into shit from the woke on the count that they claim I’m culturally appropriating. But sometimes as a cosplayer, I learned that you retain the magic by acting out of kayfabe as that character. As a human I’m not an indigenous person of Australia but I identify myself of a migrant decent. Not a coloniser. Which means my RL family on both sides have not been on the first fleet as anyone. Not even as a convict.
Not to mention I like to do this keyfabe when making my own content and performing as Bruzo. I don’t like using the terms “out of suit” but instead I use “in my human form” because I like to perform as a real argonian in disguise as a human when out of suit in social media.
The thing in the furry fandom I found to feel fake and forced was the concept of it being one of the most acceptable places which turned out to be mass manipulation to hide the fact that the same crappy humans as you see in the mundane world are under the fursuit that covers the real thing and fake their entire personalities until the narcissist comes out in person.
The things I couldn't express in the real world cause I'd be judged, shamed and targeted for remain the same in the furry fandom with the acception being most furry related things but even those would end in being shamed by members of the furry community if they weren't suppressed outside of furmeets where a narcissist just happened to be the leader.
Even my fursuit was more accepted by people outside the fandom while people with openly didn't like it because it wasn't professionally made.
When I started meeting other furries online, they almost always acted differently in person than online where everyone thought they were good people, the people telling me to f off before blocking me if I said no to a long distance relationship within the first few messages, telling lies to lead me on to get out of saying I'm not their kind and people getting progressively more rude when chatting.
Recognising most of the hate was within the community it's self and the people outside who hate the community being used as scape goats to hide the issues within were the final nail in the coffin to leaving permanently the only condition I'd try it again is in private with an authentic furry who isn't narcissistic, abusive and manipulative which makes up such a small percent that I had to speak with a hundred terrible people just to meet one nice one who lives too far away and only found that one authentic furry years after leaving.
That intro music timed with the beat and the foot taps makes me wanna freeze into an ice cube 🙂
Great advice, cheers!
really well put
I get around this by having my sona be... just me. I don't even refer to them by a different name anymore. It's an expression of who I am now.
Same
I honestly think I already know who I am tbh I’m like 70% there
Furries : We're different.
Also furries : so many of us want to look the same.
Managing my "normie" irl selfs - which already segmented by pieces - with my fursona makes me gonna have my own Perfect Blue moment ngl 🥲
Hi!
