Happy 75th birthday to mama woof, who has always been enthusiastically supportive of her weird son, who bugged me for like five years to let her smoke up with my friends when she was visiting (I did get over my self consciousness eventually 😂). All my love, forever 🧡

HECK YEAH! SEEEEEEEEEEA-HAWKS!

(1/3) FINALLY my @nhlflapanthers.bsky.social listened and created a 35" #StanleyCPanther plush - available at the FLA Team Shop at $230. My thoughts: PROS: + It's a start! We haven't been playing the A game in mascot plushies for many years (last decent ones were the 18" versions in 2007-2011).

SUPER BOWL-BOUND HAWKS!!! #WeAre12 #seahawks #LARvsSEA

It’s the Ultimate #FursuitFriday Board Game Battle for Pride Lands Supremacy! Watch as Scar challenges Mufasa to Giant Connect Four: youtu.be/VUPrFe-uXL0 Scar says “As far as brains go, I’ve got the LION’S share”… will that bold statement hold true? #TheLionKing #AnthroNW #ANW8

Just in time for this #FursuitFriday, the trailer for the #MastersOfTheUniverse movie dropped! Being a big cat nerd & toy collector, Battle Cat & Panthor are so iconic to me, they can't be missed from my diverse toy collection! Are you old enough to remember #MOTU? I HAVE THE POOOWWEEEERRR!!!

Hey #Mattel, are we going to see some cool new Battle Cat/Panthor merch to go with it? PLEASE??? #MOTU #MastersoftheUniverse

Totally innocent sketch featuring my girlfriend @hunterbeinghunted.bsky.social's characters Corvin and Varius We were joking about the fact Varius has a quite prominent fluff trail on his lower belly, and that Corvin would 100% use it to track down the goodies. He likes teasing his mate. :P

I've made a copy of the dance competition master database that is viewable to the public. this documents every dance competition that has ever existed, every entrant to that dance competition, and we are in progress of tracking every song used. It is incomplete. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Struck out on the night market. But might as well get some pics while in the gear. Thanks @sergethewolf.bsky.social for grabbing these.

Lion cubs, sunshine and a Seahawks win 💗 ICYMI: Ilanga gave birth to two female cubs on January 14—mom and cubs are now snuggled up in a cozy, quiet maternity den where they are resting and bonding. Get the adorable details: https://bit.ly/4qrCAUa

Hi there, fellow mascot nerd! #GoHawks #WeAre12

We might as well win the whole ****ing thing. LFG CONFERENCE FINAL HAWKS!!!🏈🏈🏈 #WeAre12 @Seahawks

I'll just come out and say it. Someday before I retire from costuming, I'd really like to be hired for an event as Ajani. So, there you go. You need a big white lion that has a background in mascot performing and is great with people? I'm your guy. Lion. Lion guy. Pick one. 🤣 #cosplay #magic

Bonus #FursuitFriday content: For the first time EVER I hosted Fursuit Games at a con! Featuring almost 40 caffeine-fueled fuzzies playing Tug of War, Hula Hoop Pass & of course Musical Chairs: youtu.be/Uh77NxbEux0 The 🎶🪑 final was EPIC (starts at 27:00) 🐶🐆💥 #ANW8 🎥: @kitwanalion.bsky.social

Because I live in all of you!

It's been exactly 1 year since I received my 1st ever mascot costume! Pouncer the Panther is really special to me as sports mascots were inspirations on my way into the fandom and I always wanted to be like them! Look for Pouncer at #WFS56 and @vancoufur.bsky.social ! #FursuitFriday

Excited to announce I'll be attending for the very 1st time, making this a combo trip with @vancoufur.bsky.social I'll be bringing my Florida Panther mascot costume, Pouncer. Just like a typical mascot, he cannot wait to cheer and roar on all the bowlers! #WFS56

1st #FursuitFriday after #ANW8 #AnthroNW with 2 favorite moments: Heading over to TLK musical location with @kijani.bsky.social as my evil brother & performing a Disney childhood favorite to children - nothing more magical than that!❤️

A birfday smooch for one of the sweetest, most genuine people I’ve ever known in this fandom! Enjoy your special day @latchfox.bsky.social 🥳🥳🥳

Already hard at work on my #AnthroNW memories being uploaded to my YouTube! Let's start with my favorite activity of #ANW8 - the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a photo op outside the #TheLionKing musical at the Paramount w/my 🦁 bestie @kijani.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=ip4p...

This lion landed with his paws safely back on freezing cold Swiss ground after a 10:45 hrs ride across the pond. Glad to be back in my own den!

Always a goof feeling to see ypur bags being loadec onto the aircraft, even more so after I had to rebook to an earlier SEA-SFO so not to miss my connection to ZRH. Good job, United!

Mandatory SeaTac Airport with More Roar posting.🦁🦁🦁

And already at SeaTac Airport for the long flight back to my Swiss den after #AnthroNW. I miss all my friends already. Despite there's 4k miles between us, you are all my closest besties. Thank you all so much for your support and hugs during the con. 'Til we meet again soon!❤️ #ANW8

The greatest Lion King of the past lives on in YOU! Choose your side!

Furry cons are a bit like Disney World, where you get to meet your favorite characters. Except you don't need a Fastpass here at #AnthroNW #ANW8 Finally got to meet @finnthepanther.com - an all-around cool kitty I've been looking up to for so long! Very approachable and huggable! Thank you, Finn!❤️

His Fursuiting: For the Kids series brought me into the fandom 10 years ago and never in my wildest dreams I'd have imagined to eventually become close friends with Kijani and share so many moments together. There's nobody in this fandom who deserves this prize more. Congrats, buddy!❤️

Pawbert agrees that the #ANW8 #AnthroNW Plushie meetup was worth to see!

The greatest Lion King of the past, King Mufasa will make an an appearance at this wonderful event to mingle with his subjects from near and far across the Pridelands! See you there!

This stint was something I had been planning and hoping to pull off since I learned that the #LionKing musical would be in town at the same time like #AnthroNorthwest! Beyond happy it all worked out and I've got to do this w/ @kijani.bsky.social Also got ❤️ interactions & video on the way there!
