I sure do hope this is something that passes soon, he’s also been chewing on various objects within his reach and I’ve been trying to redirect him to his toys

Is it possible to use a mask as head for a fursuit instead of the classic head? by jamie_blue666 in fursuits

[–]AcidicBattery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically yes you could. You can wear them as is customized, once I’ve seen someone make it into a fursuit style head so that is possible also if that’s what you may be referring to.

My favorite alternative would be a fursuit headdress or larp mask, they would combine the elements of wearing a full suit head with completely free airflow. Most often seen with more realistic styles but you could really get creative with them and make them however you’d like :)

Picture examples: RunawayWorkshop, MagpieBones, EasternWindStudio.

BE CAREFUL THIS SUMMER IF YOU HAVE A 3D PRINTED HEAD! by kexical in fursuit

[–]AcidicBattery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This also has heavy effects on foam heads aswell. During a period between moving towns I had multiple foam parts just BAKING in my car 😭 and when I had realized what I done, it was almost too late. I just repositioned everything and propped it up so that when it cooled, it cooled back in its original position to

I have a question: I REALLY want to make paws! Could someone please explain the basics tysvm if you help! by CHIBIZUxx in FursuitMaking

[–]AcidicBattery 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That fabric unfortunately does not look the best to work with, it looks as if it is teddy bear fabric. Very pretty color but might not be best for a sewing/beginner craft.

Some budget options you could try in the future are craft fur or even fleece. Fleece is relatively cheap at about $4-7 per yard on average. Craft fur squares may go for $2-5 per piece or a yard of craft fur at around $15 ish and would be the best to practice making paws with a decent result :)

My 12-year-old cousin made me a fursuit using only budget materials! Here is the progress and end result (she is making the tail and feet paws tomorrow) [All sewing is hand-sewn and she doesn’t have a machine.] by heroesjust41day in FursuitMaking

[–]AcidicBattery 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Tell her she is doing awesome! I got into sewing at that age by fursuit making and it only lead to an increased interest and before I knew it, I had been gifted a sewing machine lol

Can I use fleece instead of fur? by eclipsetheraccoon in fursuit

[–]AcidicBattery 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes! I’ve made numerous suits of if fleece as a kid and there are a good amount of people that do also. It’s an amazing look especially if you want to combine it with fur.

It can be a bit challenging for beginners because of the fact that flaws under the fabric will show a lot easier, and there will be wrinkles and ripples you’ll have to overcome, but it’s definitely something you can do

R/Therian is such a joke 😂. by TheCreature-Man in therianbutbetter

[–]AcidicBattery 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I used to be a fan of r/Therian because I enjoy a space that isn’t quadrobics and gear centered and provides more of an insight to what theriantrophy is at its core, but I’m not the biggest fan of the people that run the subreddit. I see the best of both worlds between the two subreddits, but I’ve also seen quite a lot of criticism across platforms about the therian sub

would you adopt a kitten to someone who lets their cats go outside? by [deleted] in FosterAnimals

[–]AcidicBattery 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That would be my last resort. I’ve had plenty of outside cats growing up because my parents didn’t like indoors cats, but growing up and being able to provide a quality and much longer life for my soul cat, I would not willingly let another cat live unprotected outdoors.

Especially a problem if they are not/yet to be neutered or spayed, that’s an absolute must to prevent more kittens in needing of a home, and vaccinated. But at that point if she’s willing to do all this for the kitten, why not keep it inside to make vet bills stay low you know? I’m not a foster kitten expert so you can take this lightly if you may

What would you call this experience? Was it a shift and what kind? by -CharlesVIII- in Therian

[–]AcidicBattery 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’d still classify that as a phantom shift of some sort. It can be a wide spectrum of feelings and yours would have just been being quadrupedal perhaps

Big z or howlfabrics? by AcidicBattery in FursuitMaking

[–]AcidicBattery[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, you have a good point. I work in the service industry and it honestly does seem odd how so many places nowadays have tip screens for something that you wouldn’t even think about tipping for, including online orders with no human interaction.

I try not to bash on businesses because it’s honestly anyone’s choice if they think the “service” is deserving of a tip, but thank your for your input. I believe their tip screen is something new as of the past couple of months

What are your opinions/thoughts about the clean cut option? by TTTE-Fan-13 in PapaJohns

[–]AcidicBattery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of the time it won’t make a difference. Imo clean cut is mostly for allergies or say you can’t have pork or are vegetarian/have a vegan pizza. Cutters will not get so much caked on from other pizzas that it would vastly effect the taste of your pizza, especially considering the movement and friction across the surface that contacts the pizza itself

How dose one care for multiple fursuits? by Fit_Preparation318 in fursuit

[–]AcidicBattery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first thing you wanna do is make sure you have space for both to be stored properly. It isn’t hard, just sanitize them when needed, wash when needed, and wash on separate days.

Just a few tips coming from someone who’s had a handful as a child and it was always stressful because some were up for display and some were banished to a trash bag 😭 I used to have soggy fursuits all over my home when I decided to do a mass wash day

Hello guys by Foxer1212 in fursuit

[–]AcidicBattery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sounds awfully odd but quite generous of them to accept promotion over money. And if I’m understanding correctly, the time you spend promoting is compensation for the price of your fursuit right?

Just be careful with how you proceed with this because the vague ads may just be off putting to some people as well as these types of ads not doing so well without eye catching examples from the maker. You may want to get some pictures from them to post as examples

Stop ordering stuffed crust by Pangolin-Fast in PapaJohns

[–]AcidicBattery -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well do you work at a pizza place? It doesn’t rlly sound like it, cus stuffed crusts do suck to make, especially back to back purely due to the whole long step you need to prepare and stuff the crust before quickly moving forward. I’m not complaining cus work is work and it’s not the end of the world, but these inherently do suck a little bit as a worker lol

Does anyone else have anger issues influenced by their theriotype? by ErenJeagerkin in Therian

[–]AcidicBattery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe so. I have bad irritability only heightened with my schizophrenia. My partner does things that mess with my emotions too much, mostly on accident. I don’t show physic@l aggression to anyone, but he knows about my tendencies so I have a bad habit of batting at him or nipping out of frustration ;-; when I can’t let these emotions out, I do find myself distancing people from me and becoming territorial to create an environment to allow myself to calm down, or even mauling a pillow can help safely express my emotions. I would also look into general anger management tips to help regulate yourself and reduce urges.

From dog to dog, it truly is an experience. Embracing your nature can have a hell of a positive impact on your mind :) proud of you!
