Anyone have stories about furry parties? If we don’t have em at 196, I’ll have to ask the programmers
I usually go to the chill ones. Last furry party I went to, me cuddling with my husband and a friend turned into a gigantic cuddle pile
I’m jealous.
I don’t get out much, but I’ve been to a few of these parties.
My favorite bits are all the little creative touches. Like, lots of furries have custom stickers rather than business cards, so some furry parties will have a guestboard that gets crowded with stickers and sketches as the guest count climbs. =D
I gotta admit that’s brilliant.
I like the furry community because they respect artists. I’m neither furry nor artist, but I have multiple friends who have a home because commissions from furries gave them a more stable income than their day job
Furries are literally the backbone of our entire society
Ahhh Nightcrawler, my favorite Xmen. I’ve never been a follower of the franchise but it’s good to see I can still say he’s my favorite
It’s a good time for Kurtbros
AoA Kurt was always one of my favorite alternative designs
I like the furry community because in my unbiased opinion, they’re all very cute :3
I agree, they are very cute. Which ones are your favorite? Personally mine are dergs, but I’d be interested to hear what yours are.
Picking a favourite is tough! Dergs are definitely very cute, and there is such a large variety of them. They can be fluffy or scaly, wings or no wings, big or smol. My sona is a canine, and they are very fluffy, cuddly, and have pretty beans. But felines are cute, too! And avians are so elegant, and protogens are super cool. If I really had to pick a favourite, I think I’d choose canines because I like them in art and “in person” (fursuits). Protogens are a close second, though. Do you have a particular kind of derg that’s your favourite?
i need to get my paws on this comic book STAT
Uncanny X-Men (2024) #3, written by Gail Simone of Birds of Prey fame
Don’t think I know any furries, though I think I’ve met a few. I’m probably too old, but that’s alright. Never been to a furry party, but if I knew any I would invite them to my parties. I don’t get the stigma, seems like other people are too insecure in their own identity to accept people experimenting, or settling on an unconventional one. Even when I first heard about it that there were people supposedly having sex while wearing cartoonish animal costumes (which yeah I’m sure it happens, people will at least try to sexualize anything that they like) I realized that the media always sexualizes “new” lifestyles – its one of the most tried and true ways to make people decide that a lifestyle is weird is to make of seem like it is only a sexual fetish.
90% of CEOs identify with wolves and sharks and lions, when they do it you’re supposed to buy their book called “The Lion’s Share,” and kiss their ass about it. But if some non neuro typical queer kid does it, its some kind of cultural nightmare scenario. Really reveals the root of the stigma IMO.
They seem nice and I bet their fursonas are soft and comfy, if maybe a little hot inside the suit. Sorry if any of this seems insensitive, I don’t mean it that way. Except toward CEOs, I mean that to be insensitive, if anything I should be more insensitive toward them.
I was accidentally at a furry party once. Bar double booked the leather community and the furries. They were high energy and a bit strange but chill
I accidentally walked into a Juggalo show once. There were topless girls in clown makeup dancing to a band, and I punched a door cuz one of the juggalos told me to.
Fucking Ohio
Wait, my story also happened in Ohio… I’m starting to suspect my state might just be out of its damn mind.
Have you never driven here? There’s a reason “Ohio” is synonymous with hell to the younger generations
I haven’t spent much time elsewhere. Well unless you count Indiana or Kentucky and my attitude has always been at least we aren’t either of them. We suck of course, but we suck compared to places worth living, instead of being compared to places like Iowa.
I’ve lived here voluntarily for 26 years so I feel like I’ve earned the right to complain about it, nothing feels so good to gripe about as something I love. But yeah fuck Ohio, this place is nuts
Yeah, it’s home. I want it to stay crazy but stop sucking, but that’s gonna take some work. Fortunately it’s that or find a job somewhere where rent is higher and I probably count as nuts instead of eccentric which also sounds like work.
So yeah, make Ohio weirder, get the juggalos and furries to run a voter transportation system and union drives. Only you can make Ohio a baffling place worth living!
I drunkenly stumbled to a Furry outing a few years ago. It was really cute watching human-sized furry people hugging each other.
Sounds adorable ngl
None of that seemed insensitive to me, you’re cool~
Can confirm the soft and comfy, fursuit hugs are great~. It does get toasty in them, though. Some engineer furries developed cooling vests that help a lot, but wintertime suiting is great!
Aggressively wholesome! Thanks for your insight 😁
Isn’t one of the newer mutants just …an actual furry? I think their name is Good Boy and their power is to turn into their blue and white wolf fursona?
Just to say, this isn’t even the most furbait thing Marvel has done, the rabbit hole goes deeper.
Honestly that’s a very Nightcrawler take right there. Very in character.
NGL I came to the comment section to read about how furry parties were sex orgies with costumes.
But all the comments of actual attendees are incredibly wholesome and apparently my mind is in the gutter.
Maybe it really is just playing GameCube and exchanging high fives.
Sure, that’s how it starts. The obligatory game console with either Smash Bros or Mario Kart.
Then you get in the aspiring furry DJ who insists on bringing a mixdeck and playing the wildest stuff you’ve ever heard, the amateur mixologist starts making drinks, another fur takes it on themselves to start grilling, and the stoner furries settle into a blunt rotation on the patio.
Before you know it, you’re having to get a second table for all your visitors’ fursuit heads and every whiteboard in the house has lost half of its surface to sketches you never want to erase.
