+
+I love fur!
+Did you know it's really pleasant to the touch?
+
+If I could, I would actually hug out all the cats in the world.
+Too bad there's so many it's kind of impossible, and also allergic complications.
+
+But, fur.
+It's nice.
+I like it a lot.
+
+
+## This dance
+
+Realising my love of fur has been a huge source of internal conflicts for a long time.
+When I first learned about the idea of _furries_, I was scared.
+
+I was going through my middle school days at the time, and I wanted to fit in as much as I could.
+To not lose friends.
+To not stand out too much.
+
+_You know what happens to people who stand out, don't you?
+So keep your mouth shut, and fit in..._
+is what I thought.
+
+I was avidly scared of anime at the time.
+It felt like a weird special interest thing, and from all I've heard of it, there was a _lot_ of lewd stuff.
+I didn't want anything to do with that, so I started hating on anime and otaku culture.
+Even though I found anime girls kinda cute.
+
+Just to fit in.
+
+The same thing happened with furries.
+I got exposed to some lewd material while playing Geometry Dash levels, and it was enough to disgust me for good.
+So that's how I also started hating on furries.
+
+Even though a few days later I changed my mind, and found the concept really cute.
+
+---
+
+Months passed, and the beliefs that anime and furries were bad became engraved into my personality.
+
+How could I change now?
+My friends would hate me.
+They'd feel betrayed.
+So I kept my hate shields up.
+
+But those fears started creeping up on me.
+First, when I changed my friends group to one which had an otaku in it.
+The guy was really nice.
+He became my best friend by the end of middle school.
+
+Leaving behind that old group of friends meant I had a chance to redeem myself and start watching anime.
+Our school trip was coming up, and my friend proposed that we watch [「君の名は。」]{.nowrap} (_Your Name_).
+
+I agreed, and a few weeks later I found myself in a room with a couple otakus, watching my first anime.
+I was toes deep.
+The water was warm.
+I had friends by my side.
+The ice around my heart melted a bit.
+
+But not so much for furries.
+
+---
+
+Middle school ended, I parted ways with my friends group.
+They went to a different high school than I did.
+The time we had spent was some of the best time in my life, but it was time to say goodbye.
+
+Say hi to high school, where largely nothing had changed, and I remained a furry in disguise.
+It came and went, and soon enough I was 18 years old; old enough to look for a job.
+
+Before I got hired though, I discovered A Hat in Time.
+A game that taught me that it's okay to be childish and have a little fun, melting the ice around my heart a bit more in the process.
+
+Fast forward a bit, about a year into the job---I decided to play that DELTARUNE game everyone's been so hyped up about.
+And there, a cute lil' character was waiting for me patiently.
+
+His name was Ralsei.
+
+I fuckin'... I dunno, man.
+This guy.
+This fuckin' guy.
+This cute lil' floofer.
+What can I say?
+
+A shy lil' goat boy.\
+Scared of the world.\
+With an iceberg of loneliness surrounding his heart.
+
+Ralsei's character resonated with mine.
+He was scared of being himself, and never had any friends.
+I was scared of being myself, and never had True friends.
+
+Then, by complete accident, I hammered the final nail into the coffin.
+On the day the idea for this website sprouted into my mind, I found myself reading [a blog post from soatok](https://soatok.blog/2020/04/23/never-underestimate-the-furry-fandom/) about the furry fandom, and I was like... _of course._\
+_Of course._\
+_What the hell was I thinking._
+
+Of course furries are fun.\
+Of course you should come out of your little hiding spot, tell everyone you're a furry, own it, and be proud of it.\
+What the hell have you been running away from?\
+Have some fun in your life for once, you cowardly little boy.
+
+My heart started screaming out for help.
+And the power of fluffy boys shined within it.
+
+---
+
+I don't remember what my coming out as a furry looked like exactly.
+
+All I remember is that I had an idea in my mind, for how to do it as subtly and gently as possible, to not scare myself away.
+I drew an upside down pixel art hatted Ralsei.
+He kinda didn't even resemble the real thing.
+You had to look close, turn your head upside down...
+but it was undeniably him.
+
+I then started doing pixel art more regularly, to level up my drawing skills.
+{-Because of course I was, and in fact, still _am_, too socially inept to ask an artist for a commission-}
+
+I drew a couple more Ralseis, [including this fucking image LMAO](https://liquidev.net/syf/art/20230712_ralsei_sleeping.webp), and then finally, a *proper* hatless Ralsei face, right side up.
+I set it as my profile picture, and it was out.
+
+_I'm a furry, y'all!_ OwO
+
+
+## is like a weapon
+
+It would take me quite some time since then to come up with a fursona I could call my own, but at some point I settled for a [ragdoll](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ragdoll).
+I love cats, I love fur, what's more to want than to be one of the floofiest cats in the world?
+
+Curious little observation, but it's actually kind of uncommon to see cat furries in the western world.
+Makes my sona all the more unique!
+
+Other than my love of cats, this choice _may_ have been influenced by my liking of Japanese-style furries (ケモノ---_kemono_)---where cat OCs are a lot more common.
+I just find their more human-like faces a lot cuter, so naturally I'd want my fursona to have one.
+
+---
+
+You could also be wondering why the heck is my sona so... woman-like.
+If I'm a _he/him_-type, why does it look like a such a _she/her_?
+
+Thing is, I really don't like gender stereotypes.
+Why is a guy that looks a bit womanly perceived as a weirdo?
+He's doing no harm, so why are you giving him weird stares on the street?
+
+Why can't I wear clothes that show off all the nice curves on my body, too?
+Like overknee (aka programming) socks.
+They're pretty cute if you match them up well with the rest of your outfit.
+
+So riki is a pink, fluffy femboy.
+Because fuck those stereotypes.
+
+
+## of self-defence
+
+There's actually another reason I like to wear a fursona online.
+
+I've never really liked my body much.
+As a child, my face looked... weirdly square, and Mom always had my hair cut real short, and that was enough to really dislike how I look.
+
+I was also born with atopic dermatisis, which gave me horrible rashes and skin inflammations for the better part of my life.
+Thankfully with some of the experimental meds I've been taking that's largely gone, but my skin still tends to be quite delicate.
+And itchy.
+
+Also, remember how I said I really like cats?\
+But what if I told you... my allergies don't let me pet them much?
+
+Cats that wander outside (like those at my parents' house) like to roll in dirt, and you can imagine how well that meshes with my itchy and delicate skin.
+So I hardly ever get the chance to pet a cat (once in a blue moon when visiting my parents), and when I _do_, I have to be really careful not to get an allergic reaction.
+Not fun.
+
+So my fursona acts as a form of escape from that harsh reality.
+On the internet, there is no atopic dermatisis or allergies to worry about, after all.
+
+---
+
+Also can I just say, human customisation options are so lame???
+
+The hell do you mean I only get to pick my skin colour, hair colour, and eye colour, and that's it?
+Where's the "fur" option with a full 3D coat colour painting tool?
+And where do I switch those lame-ass human ears to big cute spiky ears, and also where's the tail option.
+
+Please let me have cat features.
+I look cuter that way.
+
+
+## against the present, present tense
+
+So that pretty much sums it up.
+
+If you only skimmed this post, here's an AI summary for you:
+
+> Something something cute, something something pink fluffy ragdoll femboy, something something please give many pets and hug very much.
+
+_\*purrs smugly\*_
+
+Have a very fluffy day! OwO
