Title: Separate or Same?
Post by: Nova on March 20, 2009, 06:00:32 PM

Do you consider your fursona separate from you? Or do you consider your fursona YOU? Why or why not? Please explain in detail as best you can!


I, personally, consider my fursona to be ME. I don't like the idea of having separate characters, it just feels "fake" to me. For me, furry is self-expression. It is the idea of representing who I am with an animal, or any other creature. Gargoyle came about when all else failed, and I realized how much I loved gargoyles. I see myself as protective, and a bit "feared" even. I never fit in, and I sit alone (as the gargoyles do on the cathedrals). I'm a caring outsider, and so to me, gargoyle is very symbolic.

I consider my fursona to be "me". I couldn't really imagine myself any other way.

I agree TOTALLY...I AM my avatar.......This was really my opportunity to start over with what I can actually SEE my inner self being...

Same here (lol, pun definitely intended) my fursona is literaly myself, outside of physicaly looks, personality, how he acts, how he responds, thats the exact way I would do that.

God willing, my Fursona is literally me. He's got my name (Except the middle name, which is Folf) he's got my mindset, build, personality, ideals, inte... Screw it, he's me, as a walking, talking, Folf. Who can change to a Feral. Harken and hear the call of the Fursona.

However, I got all sorts of minor Fursonas for different things. (Roho, Furaha, Utempo, and others...)

Name and looks are all that's different.

She's pretty much who I wish to be and who I am down beneath all the fears and weaknesses. Who I am just before I fall asleep and am too muddled to care anymore XD

But I do think of her as being separate, still.

I love my Fursona me. He's so... like me. But cute and Foxish/Wolfish!
