Title: Older newbie, bear with me, I'm learning.
Post by: Fuzzpaws on September 10, 2016, 04:27:46 AM
Hi, I am Nakke ni (Apache for Two Spirits). I am an older family man of Native American/Caucasian mix, and recently my Native heritage adn root beliefs brought me to the point of accepting that Naake ni was a very real part of me. Naake ni is the Feral Wolf who has been with me for as long as I can remember, though I didn't understand until recently how strong He was.


I am learning to accept that my wolf soul that can no longer be contained, but must be physically expressed. I wear a tail , a big, beautiful grey and black frosted tail, around the house, and am hoping to eventually wear it out in public. The tail is just the start of my transformation, as I have an artist friend who is doing the proof of concept drawings for my full suit, and also making me a very special mask and headdress.


My wife has been very supportive and understanding as I explore the Furrydom, and learn the lessons that Naake ni brings forth.


I will post more as I delve into the forums, and as things become clearer for me.


Thanks for having a place like this !

Welcome to the forum my friend.

For you we even have the right topics and threads so you can have your space of writing down what you want.
It's always great to have people who support you what you do.


If you have any questions ask them here or send them in a PM to me;
May I ask some questions like: where are you from and what do you do for a living.

But like I said: welcome

cool, apparently I'd be considered a Therian... the definitions in the pinned post fit very well.


@Bricket,
 I currently live in the Pacific NorthWest, USA. Born in California, have been all over the world, but found a comfortable place in a fitting enviroment here. Currently seeking better employment, but drive semi to pay the bills. Thank you for the open invite to post, share, and ask the questions.

Semi driver?
Interesting job, if the transport business might still interest you: railroads always seek new people.


For being a Therian we have a really nice community here and a special thread dedicated to it

The driving job is okay, gives me time to be with myself (I'm also a strong empath), and time to think things through or just "be" while I drive.


Learning to protect myself, to give myself a safe space, and to explore what Naake ni is trying teach me. Crowds and strong emotions have messed with my self as long as I can remember, but I am finally learning what is happening and how to cope/counter/ etc. Last job as a shop mechanic in a very emotionally charged shop was destroying me, draining me, and got to the point that I cringed every time I even thought about being there.

Welcome to the forums (and the fandom?), good sir!

It seems indeed you might be possibly a Therian. We have a few kindred spirits here with regards to the Therian and Otherkin subjects. It's awesome to hear you have a supporting partner.
(I consider myself Otherkin/Therian to an extent as well.)

If you have any questions or would just like to talk, feel free to message or PM me.

Once you get a full suit, feel free to share it on our Fursuit Photography board! I would love to see it. As well as any artwork of your wolf/yourself.

Thank you Ventus, I need to check with the artist before sharing the drawings. . suit will be down the road a ways, but will be working on bits and pieces as I go.

You're welcome, Naake Ni :)
And that is very kind of you to wait for the artist's approval ^^

Either way, looking forward to the artwork and fursuit!

We all might have our own variations but we are very supportive on individual differences  :3

I'm glad to hear it, I hope you make some great new friends!


I know not everybody likes to just jump right in, so explore at a comfortable pace.  Personally I find the forum games board a great place to meet people https://www.thefurryforum.com/forums/index.php?board=39.0 (https://www.thefurryforum.com/forums/index.php?board=39.0)


And may I say it's nice to see a new member who has there own pack!  As a fox with two cubs myself I understand the complex joy of family ;)

Trixsie vixen,
Have already found the game room, and met some of the members. I'm seeing many of the other members appear to be younger and single, but I'm not stressing about being at the upper end of the age scale. It's about learning from the experiences of others, and sharing the fun...

Apologies for the late greetings. You sound very interesting naake ni, welcome to TFF. I'm Zaida, little miss nightmare~ I'm usually roleplaying but I tend to go around the forum.
Also IRL I'm part Native American too (Blackfoot). I knew I was Native American but wasn't sure what tribe until recently.
Hope you enjoy TTF, Farewell~

Thank you for the welcome Zaida! 




Edit: Emailed Spiral about using the picture I have as avatar, have not received anything back, so I'm going to assume it's ok...
