@Die The Kox:
I love the intro song. It was weird, I saw your first post go up and then disappear. I noticed because it was just those lyrics and Sympathy For The Devil is my favorite song. But I came to look and tell you that and it was gone…so I’m glad you posted again!
Ha ha! Thank you so much, Die The Kox! 😀
Yeah, I saw it post, and then I tried to edit it, and then it vanished. So, I just…the disappointment of having crafted what I thought was a clever re-introduction topic just vanish into the ether really, really hurt. To borrow a lyric from Lou Reed’s song ‘Harry’s Circumcision (Reverie Gone Astray)’, a deeply personal song to me, relating directly in some ways to my former self-image and life experiences, from my favorite album in his solo discography, “Magic and Loss” (1992), it was “the final disappointment.”
The topic’s disappearance tipped my precarious perch a little further than I was ready for, and I just…got sad.
But, I’ve since posted my addendum, and edited it, twice, in fact — the second time to add yet another song, this time to share how good it feels to be back home — and I feel much better. Doubly better to see that someone, being you, Die The Kox, already replied. So, thank you!
I love The Rolling Stones and ‘Sympathy for the Devil’, too. That particular song means so much to my fursona as a character, as a literal demonic wolf from Hell, who has long since rejected the ways of darkness, absconded from the Abyss, and tried to make a new life for himself amongst the living, in a world of equal parts light and shadow. But, unlike in the Inferno, he’s found great beauty here, and even greater friendship.
As a human, I’m looking forward to making new friends, as well as the possibility of rekindling the embers of old friendships, with members of MNFurs, and in the furry fandom at large.
Thank you so much for being the first to reply, Die The Kox. It means very much to me.
@Hunter:
Welcome back to the furry fandom! I myself am new to it as well but am having a blast, hope to see you at meets!
Thank you so, so much! It’s nice to not be the only new-ish member of the fandom around here. 🙂 I mean, I’ve admired the furry fandom from afar for years, over a decade, even — I even called myself a ‘furry affiliate’ — but there was just something, some…I dunno…some undefinable…fear, for the lack of a better word, that kept me from accepting, and what’s more admitting, that I am indeed a furry.
And yet…yet, I’ve been drawing and writing about anthropomorphic beings nearly my whole life. But, I accept it now, and I’m so happy, and so freaking excited to be a part of MNFurs again, as a proud furry myself.
I’m so glad to hear you’re having a blast so far, Hunter! I will look forward to hopefully meeting you at meets, too!
Now, hopefully this will post correctly this time. …Please? LOL. Sorry for all the confusion here, but it’s my first day.
