In terms of furry art which style do you prefer, the more toon-ish or the more realistic?Realistic, usually. But that's because they are usually better done and display a higher talent. I appreciate talent and creativity in art, not what is drawn.
I would take the million (dollars, I presume? Even though that's not the best currency as it is falling quite some still) any day. Why? Because the money would let me start the life I want and live happily. I don't have great ambitions. I don't even have a licence to get a car. But I would invest those money smart and start from there.
Which seems a lot better than being a freak of nature that would forever be followed by media, crazy religious people and never be able to live a normal happy life. Even if I refused to be part of any sciency stuff, I would never be able to go on a date, never be able to enjoy going to see a cool new movie, never enjoy another rollercoaster... I cannot imagine a life this sad and empty.
If I was guaranteed to live a completely normal life with no fuss (Hah, pun not intended) or drama, then I MIGHT have considered it. MIGHT. Though I still think I would have taken the money. Because, well, I have my reasons.
Now imagine if a beast of a snow leopard was to just appear out of nowhere, attached to its back, a set of enormous wings, eyes of an owl to match and a mind of a normal human being. And let's add some more magic to this already clearly not possible creature - it can talk.
What would happen? Firstly, people would wonder where it came from and if it was dangerous. The creature would probably be captured with all means necessary. And do imagine choppers and lots of guns and army men.
They would carry out tests, mental and physical ones. Like, how can the body of a bird and body of a feline merge and even work? The bone structure and even type, are different. But let's say nature found a way to make it work.
They would wonder how a human brain would work inside of that feline head. How the brain was different from others' because it controlled not only a tail, four legs, claws, wings, etc. but it still functioned normally.
Meanwhile the creature is spending its time in a damn cage, the world is going nuts. Cults saying it's the end of the world, cults saying it is a god, people are scared, the government is blamed, conspiracy theories, you name it. The world would be in chaos.
And let us say that there are people fighting for this creature, that see its human side and wants it to have the same human rights. Lets even imagine that some day, this creature is freed to live normally.
And I'm just taking this from the top of my head here. I'm sure I've skipped quite some.
Never in public again, always in danger of being attacked by some lunatic. Damned and blessed by strangers all over the planet.
It's a cool thought, but if you look at it with the eyes of reality, humanity would never be prepared or ready for it as it is now.
Edit:
And even if you managed to stay in hiding for the rest of your life; same result.
And... to all flyers out there that are larger than a seagull: no flying in places they might have radar technology or the like, close by.
What's not to love?The strict pet laws. No amphibian or reptile pets are legal in Norway, as well as sugar gliders, fennecs, any cat with wild blood, and insects. Though the former might change very soon. Hopefully. And the ridiculous import rules. Anything worth 30 bucks (including shipping) gets an aditional +25% tax. This law was made in the 70's and is severely outdated.
Second question: What is your favourite airliner?One that's comfortable? I really don't know anything about aircrafts.
