Why aren't capes considered fashionable? I wore a cape for a costume today. It felt powerful and stylish. Why shouldn't I do this all the time?

I hear there's a debate going around about "Is $100 too much for a sketch?" Lacking much disposable income, getting art commissioned requires inspiration by the perfect artist, perfect idea, perfect time. In that case, I'd pay what it's worth: whatever they normally charge. It's that or nothing.

After 18 months and 45 thousand words, the first ending of my Visual Novel (the Bad end, of course, because it's the quick and easy one) has officially been penned. Now for the (hopefully) fun part. Time to write some horny scenes for the Good endings. Emotional stuff too. #furrywriting #furryvn

This looks fun! If you see this, quote ten games to get to know you by #Adastra (obligatory FVN) #SuperSmashBrosBrawl #PokémonMysteryDungeon #MetroidPrime #ZeldaTwilightPrincess #MarioGalaxy #AnimalCrossingCityFolk #Sonic06 #SonicAdventure2 #FireEmblem3Houses Honorable mention: #DonkeyKongBananza

Finished DK Bananza this week. Honestly the best game I've played in a long time. Maybe the best Mario game ever, and no Mario in sight! Very glad I went for it despite my initial hesitations. [spoiler] was pretty neat. Also, these guys are absurdly cute. That is all.

Took me ~2 years to beat Zelda TotK. ~2 weeks for Echoes of Wisdom. Both fantastic, but…bigger is not necessarily better. Also, couldn't stop laughing about Jabu Jabu because it kept reminding me of this Harkness Test illustration. Jabs falls on the left in this game, so…please do not the fish.

My advice as a bald person for the past ~20 years: 1) Maintenance is so easy and costs nothing, just shave it already 2) Bald(ing) people are cute and hot 3) Don't like how you look without hair? Get a fursuit head and look the hottest you've ever been or can possibly be

Was not expecting to see a full Mr. Wolf fursuit on primetime TV this week, but I guess "expect the unexpected" is the tagline of this reality show. #BigBrother27

Recently went to a multi-state teacher's conference with something like 3,000 attendees. Thought for sure I'd find at least a couple friends on @barq.app, but I couldn't identify a single traveler who was there for the conference. Where are all my fellow furry teachers at?

Normally, I aim for positivity around these parts. But after pouring a year+ into a VN project only to see it'll be dead on arrival because Itch won't index it, I need to speak up. I've signed the petitions. Everyone should do the same. aclu.org/mastercard chng.it/NF4nZrVz Censorship hurts us all.

This blasted thing has been sold out everywhere since launch, but I finally found one in stock just in time to play #DK this weekend. Wasn't immediately sold when the game was announced, but the hype grew since then, and it's definitely living up to it so far. (And that Kong Bananza form... 😳)

Being a furry is funny sometimes. Today, my dentist leaned in close and gently commanded me to show him my canines. My brain went to places I did not expect it to go in a dentist's office.

”BURLY SINGLE BEARS IN YOUR AREA” Not what I had in mind when I saw the ad...

Alright everyone, you know what to do! Go see the Superman movie in theaters and make it a MASSIVE box office success!

Saw #SupermanMovie in the theater last night. Krypto was adorable, of course. But it really got me thinking about how much I miss the old "Krypto the Superdog" cartoon. Haven't thought about it in years, but in hindsight, I think it might just have been a formative piece of furry media for young me.

For a while I was wondering if I should've been crossposting on Twitter. Honestly, I'm so glad that I skipped that phase and went straight to Bluesky. I didn't need to make a single post over there to tell that the place was a cesspool. Y'all over here are my people.

Well, I guess I review furry gacha games now. After Housamo and Eidos, what's one more? XXL Woofia is the newest on scene, and the first I've managed to play from launch. So far I'd say I'm impressed. Might just be my new favorite of the 3. #FurryGame (Also Mystery Dungeons are canon? Cool.) [🧵1/3]

Had a great time at my local #Pride Parade this weekend! Turnout was unfortunately small this year. But if there are 3 vehicles, I'll be the 3rd, and there's 1 vehicle, I'll be the 1. I know how fortunate I am to live somewhere I can celebrate at all.

Dusted off the old USB drive for Wii U to play some DK. Can't believe the game was 10 GB in 2014. Banaza's only 8.5 a decade later. Absurd. More absurd is the Wii U's info screen for setting up, which shows an example 1.5 TB drive plugged in. In 2012!? That would cost more than the console itself!

Should I be concerned when an awesome clothing company shows up out of nowhere, asks me for my personal information, refuses to elaborate, and leaves? 😂

I've got a secret not even my furry students know. As a chemistry teacher, below my name on the whiteboard, I've had a complex organic molecule displayed for decoration all year. The molecule in question? Monosodium glutamate. Hard to think of a more subtle demonstration of #furry pride. #e621

At the graduation ceremony today, I saw a student dressed with a trans pride flag as a cape over their gown. Especially these days, it give me a lot of hope to see that the next generation still isn't afraid to show pride. #PrideMonth

Recently noticed a student at the school where I work wearing a "Rainbow Capitalism" shirt from @nomadcomplex.com. Complimented it by name. Not sure if the response was a "this guy gets it" laugh, or a "this guy knows too much" laugh. Either way, fun to meet furs where you least expect them. #furry

It's my first #Pride Month as an out and proud #furry. Someday, I hope to wear a #fursuit to my local parade. Might be another decade until I feel financially comfortable enough for that. Hopefully I have my sona figured out by then. Thanks to all you fluffs for helping me feel true pride! 🐾🏳️‍🌈 #gay

It's a common stereotype that furries work with computers. Right around the time I joined the fandom, I set aside my Computer Science degree to work in a completely different industry. Does that make me some sort of reverse furry? 🤔

I was hearing about Housamo for a while before I decided to play it, but Another Eidos of Dragon Vein R (wow that name is a mouthful) was something I had no clue about until a few weeks ago. But I figured if I'm willing to try one gay furry gacha game, no reason not to try the other. #FurryGame

Never cared much for paws, but seeing all the posts for #pawday has definitely been a reminder of some of the reasons I love the #furry fandom. The fact that this sort of thing is not just allowed, but celebrated. Nobody's afraid to be themselves. What's not to love?

Finally got the chance to visit Super Nintendo World today. It felt very much like walking into a video game. Especially the part where half the entertainment was locked behind $45 wristband DLC. Nonetheless, an awesome experience. So much visual detail crammed into a deceptively small space.

I "came out" as a furry to my brother today. Avoided the subject for years, because he's made his negative opinions very clear. He wanted to know about the previously unnamed social site (Barq) where I met my first bf. Probably could've answered without revealing anything, but I figured it was time.

Pivotal "I feel funny" moment Only in hindsight did I figure this one out. Man, it was strange for me, a "straight" boy who'd never cared at all about shipping before, suddenly thinking too much about the way these two gushed over each other. #gay #shipping #furry #AnimalCrossing #gaming

In honor of #MaytheFourth , I'll talk for the first time about the #FurryVN I'm working on: Star Crossed. Inspired by Star Wars/Star Trek (plus a handful of video game franchises), Star Crossed is a #NSFW #gay space opera romance between a starship captain and a mercenary with a dark past. #furlit

Kissing is my kink. No, seriously. A passionate kiss instantly makes anything 10x hotter. Sure, there are other things that can get me going, but nothing else with that level of strength or consistency. Unless you count "gay furry" as a kink. All you fluffs are much hotter than regular humans.

I was recently reminded of a pivotal moment in my life. One night I went to bed thinking of myself as fur-curious and questioning. I woke up furry and gay. In between, I dreamt I was lying with another man. Non-sexual, but definitely romantic. Didn't question the fact that he was some sort of canid.

I recently caved in and downloaded Housamo. I don't really need more gacha in my life, but the gay furries were calling me. All in all, it's a pretty by-the numbers gacha summoner game. But with gay furries. So that's cool. I like being a marketable audience. #FurryGame #TokyoAfterschoolSummoners

A few months back, I was volun-told to do some work at a football game (American). I never had much interest in the sport (until I read Out of Position, but this was before that). It was interesting. I learned quite a bit. But ogling the visiting team's buff tiger mascot was much more interesting.

🧵 about furry freedom (and also my life's story, I guess) When I was a child, I was a crier. I cried a lot. I wasn't faking it. When I felt real distress, because my older brother or whoever else wouldn't stop picking on me, I let it out. It was the only reliable way to get adult intervention. (1/4)

I'm a teacher. This week, one of my students drew a protogen on his desk. I want to be mad about what is technically vandalism, but...how can I be anything other than proud? The kids are alright. #furry #protogen

My name, BurnerWolf, was what it sounded like. I was fur-curious, wanted a burner account to interact with furry stuff anonymously. Took the word burner, slapped on a popular furry animal and a generic number, and there it was. By the time I decided to own up, it felt too late to change it. #furry

Ran into a coyote on the way home today. Here in the woods, it happens every now and then. You're not supposed to pet them, but...boy, sometimes it's hard to resist. I've always felt this way about animals. Talked to them like they can understand. Sometimes I wonder how I ever denied being a furry.

"Remember when" makes me laugh. I used my CRT right up until it burnt out, maybe a little over 2 years ago. Now my Pokémon plushie has nowhere to sit 😭

It just came to my attention that Void Dreaming is out! I was already neck-deep developing my project when this awesome looking in-development VN hit my radar. It looks like a similar niche that I was aiming for, and at a higher quality than I could ever manage. Oh well, more sci-fi FVNs is good!

Openly admitting online to thinking about horny things is honestly wild for me. I'm used to being the most quiet/reserved person in the room, never speaking unless spoken to. Private thoughts have always been my own business. But the fandom is liberating. I can be me, and be welcomed. #furry #nsfw

Everyone's talking about DK, but this was the exciting part for me. I don't have any strong feelings about Rauru's character design, I just think Age of Calamity was awesome. Looking forward to getting to know the Sages as real characters too. Can't wait to see art of the Wind Sage once he's named.

When did you know? (I'm almost ashamed that it wasn't a furry character who got to me, but this moment was a revelation to 21-year-old me. I sat on the next dialogue branch for a solid minute or two in complete silence, just processing how being asked on a date by another man made me feel.)

One last debate. Sheath: good stand-in word for dick? Like, "His touch sent a tingle straight down to my sheath." Anatomically, I'd argue that the closest analog to sheath would be foreskin, and you wouldn't normally talk about foreskin that way. But I kind of like it anyways. #furry #nsfw #writing

This also brings up the question of paws vs hands. In this case I would say yes, paw seems to me like a valid catch-all furry substitute for hand. Trouble is that it also works just as well for foot. Not likely to cause confusion most of the time, but every now and then...

Random furry writing hot take: the word "muzzle" is not a catch-all substitute for "mouth." The muzzle includes the lower jaw all the way up to the bridge of the nose. Sure, the mouth is in there somewhere, but there's a lot of anatomical real estate beyond that. [ #furry #writing ]

Of course, I make my bsky debut claiming to be working on a writing project, and immediately typo "right of passage" instead of "rite of passage." Rookie mistake. Shame on me. [ #furry #writing ]

I drew a dick for the first time in my life today. For years in high school, I scoffed at the other boys for their immaturity. Now here I am, 25 years old, drawing dicks on animal people for fun, probably getting more enjoyment out of it than those other boys could ever understand. #furry #nsfw
