Title: Espen's AMA
Post by: Espen on January 25, 2017, 05:56:12 AM
Since I've seen others doing this, I'll just hop on the bandwagon! Being newer to the forums hopefully you'll all know a little more about me after this  ^_^

notz really a question... *hugs Espen extra tight*




interesting feline mix, how did you come up with?


how did you decide on Espen as your name?

Post by: Espen on January 25, 2017, 06:30:59 AM
Thanks Jyo! *hugs snoleo back just as tight*


As for my feline hybrid, I wasn't feeling quite right with a tiger fursona, and then I remembered that I took the Patronus quiz on Pottermore (love me some H.P.) and it came out as a lynx. I started to fall in love with the lynx and felt much more of a connection to them. The only thing I didn't like was the short, stubby tails that they have. I wanted a long fluffy tail so that's where the leopard came in.


Espen actually comes from scandinavian origins (my mother's side of the family is very swedish and finnish) and is a name that I really liked from a long time ago whenever I was looking up names online when first trying to come up with a fursona.

 :3  awww... thanks
yep to me as well, as cute as a lynx is that short tail is a big let down  :3  *flicks fluffy tail-tip*


do you, and Espen, like hot or cold weather?
rain, snow, or sunny?




(I also has an ama  (https://www.thefurryforum.com/forums/index.php?topic=32696.60;topicseen)if you like to ask interesting/funny questions)

Both myself and my sona love warm and sunny weather. I really dislike the cold, but snow is pretty to look at and an occasional rainy day is nice.

Why did you join the fandom?

I joined the fandom because I've had a love for anthropomorphic animals since I was young, and it took me a while to actually look into it, but when I did it just felt right. So I joined here and watched for a little while before really doing much of anything, and now here I am  ^_^

I absolutely love it! Everyone here is just amazing and I'm so glad I joined. I think I've made some pretty great friends already  ^_^

Who is you favourite HP character and what house are you in?


I'm Ravenclaw btw. >.>

Post by: Espen on January 25, 2017, 06:38:28 PM
It's so hard to pick a favorite HP character, I want to say Neville Longbottom because of his growth throughout the series and his importance at the end. But I also love Snape, Luna Lovegood, Hagrid and the Weasley twins. JKR knows how to write compelling characters. I'm in Slytherin, and Espen is a Hufflepuff.  ^_^
Title: Re: Espen's AMA
Post by: Trixsie Vixen on January 25, 2017, 06:46:54 PM
It is hard to pick just one.  I think Remus Lupin might be mine, but it almost varies from book to book.


I've never considered what house my fursona would be...
*strokes chin*

Title: Re: Espen's AMA
Post by: Espen on January 25, 2017, 08:17:16 PM
Remus is such a great character too!


Yeah I thought about it not too long ago, it's strange because there's a lot of similarities between my fursona and who I really am, so being sorted in two different houses was pretty odd but cool to see.

*rubs tge head fur lightly*

how do you keep the fur so soft?

Besides Lynx, what are your other favorite felines?
Title: Re: Espen's AMA
Post by: Espen on January 25, 2017, 08:58:39 PM

My fur is just naturally soft and flooffy! Okay, maybe some fur conditioner here and there but it's mostly natural  ;)


And I love any kind of feline, but some of my personal favorites are tigers, leopards, cheetahs, ocelots, savannah cats (domestic cat bred with serval) and maine coons!

Post by: Espen on January 25, 2017, 10:08:42 PM
Oh there so many things to do during the little amount of free time that I have, but I'd say my favorite thing is to play music. I play with an orchestra right now and I love it so much, I honestly don't know where I'd be without it.  :P

I personally believe in the cycle of rebirth, but if I'm wrong I'd like to think that I'd be able to join all of my loved ones wherever they are. Where it is really isn't as important as who is there with you.

I think I would try it just for a day to say that I have! I don't feel as much of a connection with a canine sona though.

I would love to live near the sea! I love the beach, but I don't get to go often, so it'd be great to live near one.

Do you prefer to live in the city or out coser to nature?
Title: Re: Espen's AMA
Post by: Espen on January 26, 2017, 07:47:57 AM
I honestly like different things about both, I'd like living in the outskirts of a city, somewhere that has nice parks and stuff around but isn't too far of a drive from the city. So I guess closer to nature, but not too far from the city.  ^_^

Well I really like the sense of community that there is between everyone.  ^_^ 


As for what I don't like, hmm. I'd have to say that I hate how the fandom is misunderstood by a lot of people outside of it. I don't know if that counts, but there's really nothing that the fandom itself does that I hate.
Title: Re: Espen's AMA
Post by: Vortex Cynbel on January 26, 2017, 10:02:03 PM
So where do you see yourself in this fandom 5 years from now? :p
Title: Re: Espen's AMA
Post by: Espen on January 26, 2017, 11:50:28 PM
Hopefully still on here making more and more new friends, making some more art (and hopefully being better at it ), and maybe going to a few cons! I've wanted to go to a con for a long time so that's definitely on my bucket list.  :)
Title: Re: Espen's AMA
Post by: Firox on January 27, 2017, 12:01:25 AM
so many great looking species
snole and puma are my most favorites, I loves all




does Espen like water?
(I know some felines do and others don't)
(if curious, my Jyo not anymore)  X3
Title: Re: Espen's AMA
Post by: Espen on January 27, 2017, 02:19:22 AM
They're all such great species!  ^_^


And Espen is afraid of the water because he can't swim and almost drowned as a cub, but he likes to look at the water as long as he doesn't have to get too close to it.


(I myself love the water, in case you wanted to know that too)  :P
Title: Re: Espen's AMA
Post by: Firox on January 27, 2017, 02:24:54 AM

(Jyo doesn't mind a small amount of water, after a few terrible and painful encounters with sea creatures have been main reason to be afraid of water)


what kind of dessert do you like?
(does feline love them too?)

A little too much tail-fishing hmm?  XP


And I love anything warm and chocolatey paired with ice cream! So good!


And Espen loves anything fruity, sherbets and sorbets and the like.

*hides face with paws* how ya know!  X3 XD XD
Magic  :P


I really like carrots, celery, peppers, lettuce, some spinach, and cauliflower and broccoli (but only if it's steamed)
And Espen likes essentially the same thing except he doesn't like the spicy peppers as much as I do  :3
Title: Re: Espen's AMA
Post by: Firox on January 27, 2017, 02:46:26 AM
 X3  by now I guess all know  XD


are there meals you know how to cook or prepare?
Title: Re: Espen's AMA
Post by: Espen on January 27, 2017, 04:30:09 AM
I could probably follow a recipe pretty decently after a few attempts, but I haven't really cooked all that much yet. I definitely want to learn though! So I guess no, not really unless you count using a microwave as cooking. I can make a mean bag of popcorn  XD
Title: Re: Espen's AMA

Ah, the AMA thread, now you're new so you probably don't know but trust me when I say this, I do this for all AMAs.


You have a rocket ship that is moving at velocity v in the x-direction, at time t = 0 the rocket ship is located at coordinates (0,0), at time t = 1 the rocket ship will be located at coordinates (v, 0) and so forth.


  At time t = 0 a star at location (0, 10c) explodes, sending light travelling at the speed of light in all directions (travelling outwards in a circle). As a function of v (assume c is constant) find the time in which the light of the exploding star will reach the space ship. (You may assume this world is using newtonian physics)

Oh gosh, well I'm certainly no physics person, but I'm gonna do my best to try and figure this out, so I'll get back to this once I do. Stay tuned!  :P

What is worth living for?
I think there's a lot of things worth living for in life, both the little things that make me smile from day to day, to more important things like family and friends. It's hard to always keep that in mind when things get tough, but everyone has something worth living for. And I have to say that I find you quite intelligent Bricket!

Hmm, my favorite sandwich I get has chicken, pepper jack cheese, lettuce, pickles, and either banana peppers or jalapenos.

What is the motivator to keep you going?

Post by: Espen on January 28, 2017, 03:34:01 AM
I have a class at 8:00am every monday, wednesday, and friday. I actually enjoy the classes I'm taking right now so that keeps me going for sure, that and I always get breakfast with one of my friends right afterwards.


Right now I'm striving to do well at college, and to focus in on a passion and just go with it.


I'm motivated by all of the possibilities that there are for the future, and seeing all of my close friends do amazing things here at school. I just recently changed my major, so I've been really involved with it lately and I love it so far, so it's been keeping me motivated to do well in classes and such.

Therians are pretty cool, I can't say that I'd ever see myself as one though. I didn't know the Egyptian goddess Bast was considered therian, I guess it makes sense. She was always one of my favorites from Egyptian mythology.
