Greetings to Planet Earth
« on: January 08, 2017, 12:05:50 PM »

Hello hello!  ^_^


My name's Alien and I have actually yet to make a fursona...yeah I'm pretty new to this, despite being an ally of the Furry community for several years now. I've always been a big fan of the clever fursuits and the amazing art and have never once understood the hate that they get, although I'm really not a fan of yiffers...but to each their own. Over the last couple of years, simple 'outsider' interest has formed into wanting to join the community. I don't see myself getting a fursuit for a while, but I'd love to get into the community and really enjoy it alongside you guys.

I joined the forum to make some friends and maybe gain a little bit of support and advice. Like I said, I don't have a fursona as such and I'm fairly new to the scene. Help would very much be appreciated. I guess, when it comes to species, I really like coyotes, black foxes, and huskies. Favourite colours are black, blue, and purple. If anyone ever has an idea for me, let me know!
I'm a sci-fi/fantasy geek from Australia with a taste for musical theatre, horror movies, and literature.
I'm an artist; traditional, digital, and graphic. I watch a lot of YouTube, particularly; Cow Chop, Yogscast Lewis & Simon, Markiplier, Cinema Snob and Nostalgia Critic, and Good Mythical Morning.
Some furries I follow are Majira Strawberry, Rainy Chaos, Blü, and Malcolm Ray (Zeke) from Channel Awesome.

Some of my favourite movies are; The Nightmare Before Christmas, Black Sheep, Dog Soldiers, Dead Ringers, and HP: Prisoner of Azkaban. I love Doctor Who and the Star Wars films, and am very big on the Skulduggery Pleasant book series (it's my Harry Potter.) I like very few animes, those being; Hellsing, Cowboy Bebop, and Fullmetal Alchemist.
I play a lot of Overwatch, WoW, Sims 4, Heroes of the Storm, Soulcalibur III, and various indie games and am in love with the Kingdom Hearts series. I can't play horror games due to anxiety/panic issues but I enjoy watching YouTubers play them as it takes a large portion of the scare factor out of it (it's the filter of having them play it, I think.)

I'm a music connoisseur and love a bit of everything from Lana Del Rey to Mindless Self Indulgence to Bo Burnham. However, I'm mostly a purveyor of alternative, metal, and rock music; ACDC, Disturbed, Rammstein, Breaking Benjamin, U2, Muse, Bauhaus, The Rolling Stones, Death Cab For Cutie, System of a Down, She Wants Revenge, My Chemical Romance (ok, they actually have some great songs), Midnight Oil, IAMX, The Eagles, Panic! At The Disco, and a guy on YouTube who makes great metal songs about video games: DAGames.
Even a lot of my favourite musicals are rock-based (Repo! The Genetic Opera, The Devil's Carnival).

I'm quite a nice and open person so don't be scared of hitting me up for a conversation. ;)

Welcome to the Forums, Alien ^_^

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

Welcome to the forums, Alien ^^

If you need help with creating your fursona, when you're ready, feel free to check this topic out:
Advice: Creating a Fursona
You already have a good start going with the animals and colours you seem to like, so why don't you start from there? :) What features about the animals you mentioned do you enjoy the most? See if you can write down in a list what you are interested in and perhaps create a rough draft (written or drawn) of the character.

Seeing you mentioning the YouTubers you like to enjoy, do you ever watch CinemaSins? ^^

Anyways, pleased to meet you, and hope to see you around more :)

Is that the same Malcolm from a lot of Nostalgia Critic videos? I didn't realize he was a furry.

Yeah, sorry about that. My text box was weirding out when I was trying to type, hence the font and text.

Thank you kindly for the link and advice! And yes, I have watched CinemaSins; not all the time but occasionally.

One and the same! Yeah, if you've seen Battle of the Commercials, the mascot for Tuffy Flakes in one of the skits is Malcolm dressed up in his fursuit - his fursona is named Zeke. :)
