Hmm. Maybe...
But where to find a furry with A LOT of time on their hands, good skills of persuasion, etc. While being in the greater San Diego area.
Maybe I should just hide out in my room/bunker/family storage unit for the next year or so, lol.

I suggest you get a treasure box to put your collar in and hide the key... I certainly hope it's not gone, coz if yes, it's clear she's gone too far with this.

Lol. Tried that, will continue to try. She's... Well, she's a good person, but unfortunately a bit of a zealot, so she doesent except much.
Oh well, secrecy and deception have long been my strong suits. Now I just need to raid my trashcan for that collar.... Heres to hoping she didn't burn it!  :o

P.S. At least she can't kill my mood. Maybe I'll even get some happy pills from the doc if I'm lucky :P

I think you take this furry stuff way too hard. Day of Salvation? Treasure box? Now it's sounding like a quest to save the kingdom.

Listen Aoren, just show her gradually that the fandom isnt evil. I mean sure waiting till your 18 is a good alternative, but if she can accept, or at the very least tolerate your furriness, not only have you technically won, but now you know that your mother isnt thinking less of you or anything like that.

Quest for the kingdom. that is a great thing to wake up and read, Gabag XD

As for what Gabag, says, I totally agree.
AAAAND......well Aoren if I lived near you i'd be happy to talk to your mom and explain, but er.....i don't so yeah.
...I also feel really bad about this but how do I pronounce your name?

Woah woah woah wait burn your collar 0-0? that's.....extreme. and potentially hazerdous if she did it inside the house  :o
I'm a devil, but I'm not bad most of the time. Okay I'm only bad some of the time. Okay maybe I'm bad all of the time. ;D

A thought just occurred to me:
why is telling others necessary? It's our life, why should we feel the need to shout it to the world? If people find out, then that's fine.
If I'm talking nonsense then please let me know. I'm exhausted and hardly know what i'm saying

Well, I really told her because...
Actually. Thats a good question. I guess its really just due to the act that I am a very open person, and I express myself quite explicitly. Exemplified by my hair, collar, the chained sweatshirt, etc. Thus, I naturally wanted to speak with her on the subject of my collar, as it was the newest piece added to my 'look' and had a desire to have some support from my imediate family.
Thank god I didn't tell my IRL friends  :o   That would have been... Dangerous.
Druggy would have laughed at me
Rave-boy would have stared, and then said something irrelevant
Dumb N' Narrow would have laughed and laughed and then shouted it out to the world
- Makes me wonder why I bother with these people  o.O
