New here!
« on: November 17, 2016, 03:04:39 AM »
  Hi, just call me Creepy. New to the forums.
  My fursona species is rodent and my fursona is a albino mouse. She is the same age as me, which is 18. Her name is Creepy.


  I'm relatively new to the furry fandom and only recently got into it. I haven't really explored the fandom too much, minus joining some groups on whisper and joining Ferzu. I do not have a fur suit, currently. Nor does anyone in my family, know I am a furry. I feel like they might look at me weird.
  Even though two of my family members are normally relatively accepting. I have autism, major depressive disorder, anxiety (mainly social). I do not possess the skills to draw my fursona. My avatar pic is the picture of my avatar on IMVU. IMVU is a virtual world. I feel kind of weird because my avatar also has human outfits and furry outfits.
  I feel like most people tend to just use furry outfits if they are in the fandom. Especially on IMVU. I may make a new IMVU account and use that one strictly for furry stuff.

I enjoy reading,writing,watching tv shows or anime,anything horror,mickey mouse,robots,virtual worlds,music,crime documentaries / tv shows,etc.

  Any tips or things I should know about the furry community?  ^_^

Everything comes from nothing
Everything is something
So just let it all keep happening

Don't be a means to someone's end
It's all just beginning why can't we extend
An invitation to every hand

All hands can clap
All hearts are beating equally
The pulls of the air we're breathing

If we can believe in one part of it
Then we can believe in all of it
So don't stop
Don't stop the party

Nice to meet you Creepy. Welcome to the forum.


I'm not sure what to tell you about the community. There's chatting, art, role playing, stuff like that. And I think that most furries don't have a fursuit. Some do, some don't, it's definitely not a required or expected thing.


I have persistent depressive disorder myself, and pretty bad social anxiety. So, yeah. Mental health solidarity.

Hiya Creepy!


First off, welcome and I hope you have fun here.  I'm sure you'll fit in fine, so feel free to say hi or ask questions or just check things out!


As for feeling weird and/or accepted, well if I've learnt anything it's that there is no one way of being furry.  Everyone seems to do it their own way, so I guess treat it like a buffet: take what you want and leave the rest.  You can always take a bite of something new and spit it out if you don't like it!  XD


Anyway, glad you found us and I hope to see you around :3

Hello Creepy :)
Welcome to the forums and the fandom! My name is Ventus Fall and I'm your local fur dragon here :P

What kind of anime do you like to watch, if I may ask?
And what is your favourite type of music, do you have any favourite songs you like to listen to?

As for having a rodent as character, I got a white rat character myself :)

First off, you do not need a fursuit to be furry. Some want a suit, others don't want or need a suit. And some fursuiters don't 'classify' themselves as furry either. So no worries if you don't have a fursuit :)
Secondly, you don't need to tell your parents, but if you have relatively accepting people around you, I'm sure they won't think it's weird. Or they would, but not in a bad way. See the furry fandom and community as a way to express yourself. There are many kinds of people, many different types of people, in the furry fandom. They share one common interest: Having an interest in furry art.
In whatever shape or form that may be; art, music, fursuiting, etc.
Furry art is nothing more than anthropomised creatures/animals: From wolves with human emotions on their faces, to full on digitigrade anthro dragons (just to name a few examples :)). From The Lion King to Fantastic Mr.Fox, there are many movies, comics, shows and games depicting anthropomorphic characters!

As for possessing skills to draw your fursona:
We have the Art Board with Art For Trade/Sale/Free, so you can look if anyone is open for (free) slots to draw your character ^_^
You can also post a request in the Requests board.
Or you can do both, either works :) We usually have a few artists on these forums who are busy with drawings, so don't be afraid to drop a message there!

I would say as for tips?
Just be friendly and kind :P I see you already are, and you made quite a nice introduction.

If you have any more questions, or just would like to talk, feel free to message me ^-^
Take care :3

I like to watch really any type of anime, but I prefer horror/psychological/fantasy. But haven't watched any recently. I was watching Hunter X Hunter and Chibi Vampire / Karin.


My favorite type of music is alternative or rock. One of my favorite songs is Pearl Jam - Jeremy.

I'm not sure then if you'd like this anime, but have you ever heard or seen Hellsing Ultimate? o3o I would suggest you take a look into it. It's horror/action, I suppose the genre would be. It has a unique art style, and the storyline itself I quite enjoyed :)

Listened to the piece (Pearl Jam - Jeremy), quite interesting ^_^
Like the music style, you have good taste :P
