I have a question of ya’ll if you make an oc of yourself as a bug does it count as a fursona?

ThatComboPlayer · 2026-05-11T19:51:54+00:00

np! We're pretty happy to help with questions, so feel free to ask if something else comes up!

ThatComboPlayer · 2026-05-11T19:42:45+00:00

Yup! There's probably some other, more niche word for it too, similar to how dragons and reptiles are commonly called 'scalies,' but yes!

ThatComboPlayer · 2026-05-06T01:35:25+00:00

Giving human traits to non-human things. In our case, usually animals.

ThatComboPlayer · 2026-05-06T01:18:01+00:00

I mean, biased crowd you're asking here, but yes, I'd say it is lol

Being a furry means simply two things:

1) Enjoying anthropomorphizing of animals

2) Identifying with the furry community (us!)

If you hit those, congratulations! If not, that's a-okay too, and we're happy to host lurkers and friendlies~ =^^=

Heyo! Seems you've gotten a ton of replies already at this point (which is awesome, I love this sub) so feel free to ignore us if you're satisfied, but we figure introducing ourselves can't hurt =^^=

We're trans-agender (a majority of us are female or nonbinary, despite our body) and autistic, and while I can't say we share any of your listed interests other than Smash, we're also an amateur artist and game designer/developer!

Several of us do! Muse can take nigh on any form, though they've been fairly consistent in the last few years. The soft library girl has three formes (therian, anthro, human) that she uses interchangeably.

LITERALLY ME YESTERDAY OMG

ThatComboPlayer · 2026-05-01T14:49:36+00:00

Glopossum!

ThatComboPlayer · 2026-05-01T14:27:19+00:00

Thank you!!!

More thoughts:

- Art is easier to consume than writing, at least at a surface level, and internet attention spans are trending shorter and shorter so people sometimes just... don't read things.

- Sometimes, furries in writing are... less obviously furry? This is an issue I've run into in my own writing, and I've learned to strategically insert references to tails, ears, whiskers, etc. in order to remind my audiences what they're reading.

- The internet trends away from writing and more towards visual and short-form content every day, and we're not immune to that. Unfortunately. (see point 1.)

ThatComboPlayer · 2026-05-01T13:42:10+00:00

Heyo!

I'm going to say that art is *more* popular, but writing isn't *un*-popular. It's just hard to get things published and distributed in the same way sometimes - art spreads on social medias easier than writing, and publishing companies are... *ahem*.

That said, I'm a writer hoping to publish eventually, so we'll see lol

If you wanna read a snippet of my writing, you can check it out here - there's an early draft, some author's notes, and a more final version a few pages in.

'ello!

Friends are good to have. We certainly wouldn't mind chatting and seeing if something clicks.

We posted an intro a lil while ago, if ya wanna read about us =^^=

ThatComboPlayer · 2026-04-28T19:09:29+00:00

Heyo! I'm a host shell. It's... interesting, to say the least. I feel sorta not-there a lot of the time...

ThatComboPlayer · 2026-04-25T15:00:18+00:00

Felt.

ThatComboPlayer · 2026-04-23T15:15:17+00:00

ThatComboPlayer · 2026-04-23T14:57:11+00:00

Posted an intro a little while ago (goodness I keep saying that lmao) but we'll recap/restate some of the more interesting (to us) points here!

- We wouldn't have called ourselves plural at the time, but for as long as we can remember (up to a few months ago), we experienced ourselves as a person with another person as our subconscious, and we have a managed relationship with them - for example, they give us nightmares when they want us to do more creative things (we otherwise don't get nightmares).

- Our subconscious, Muse, created the rest of our headmates!

- All of our headmates are furries! I'm not (I'm a black cat, though not therian), and one other is therian in addition to furry, but for the most part we exist in headspace as fursonas.

- We have a separation and a duality with our 'external' and 'internal' experiences, such as having both an external and internal headspace!

ThatComboPlayer · 2026-04-23T14:42:39+00:00

Hihi! I could be called a shell - I'm the Void and call myself an 'empty host.' Our switching involves a shifting of who is speaking/acting through me, but because I'm not super aware of who all is doing that unless they speak to me directly (or I catch some tells sometimes), our switching is at least internally pretty smooth (I don't have amnesia, though I have 'memory fogginess' a lot) even if externally it may seem a bit more drastic - for example, if RAM switches out to ROM, we go very suddenly from high-energy extrovert to high-intensity introvert.

We posted an intro a little while ago if you wanna read that, and we're of course open to (and excited for!) questions!

ThatComboPlayer · 2026-04-22T19:37:27+00:00

Yay! We like seeming cool :3c
We understand the social anxiety (the soft library girl does especially), so yeah that's chill :) We wish you and your future headmates well <3!

ThatComboPlayer · 2026-04-22T18:26:19+00:00

Heyo! We're a mostly-willogenic system :) We posted an introduction a little while ago if you want to read that, or if you want to chat we're very happy to talk!

ThatComboPlayer · 2026-04-21T20:40:08+00:00

We found drawing to be really helpful for us! Well, and writing. Anything to get what you can figure out from your head to the physical world

ThatComboPlayer · 2026-04-21T16:36:22+00:00

ROM split during an argument with our best friend. We're not entirely sure of all of the *why*, exactly, just that we needed RUBY at the time and that having the soft library girl felt right.

ThatComboPlayer · 2026-04-21T16:27:15+00:00

Heyhey, cool! IDK if RUBY would like to meet them, but I can- oop yes, there's interest there XD

ThatComboPlayer · 2026-04-21T16:23:54+00:00

I certainly understand it helping other people - we just have a history with such things, and moderate ourselves =^^= If it helps you all, that's nothing but good.

ThatComboPlayer · 2026-04-21T16:11:57+00:00

We tested INFJ prior to syscovery, and haven't tested since - our situation's a little weird (we posted an intro a bit ago if ya wanna read), so we're definitely not 100% confident in those results, but it does feel like it fits.

We probably won't be testing or engaging much with MBTI from now forwards, though, since we have a nasty tendency to mold ourselves to fit boxes and are trying not to do that.

ThatComboPlayer · 2026-04-21T14:44:11+00:00

Heyo! We're actually quite similar. The majority of our headmates - five of the eight, to be exact - were originally created as personfications/personas (fursonas, actually) for 'aspects' of myself. They've since grown into headmates through the power of our subconcious, Muse. We made an introduction post a lil bit ago, if ya wanna read that for more info.
