WHO: Yusuke and you
WHERE: The app
WHEN: February at some point
WHAT: I am so sorry
WARNINGS: The Furry Discussion is likely to happen here. Again. Why.

[Please ignore the twin tails waving behind Yusuke as he records this. Also please ignore that he is recording this while painting, meaning he is frankly a mess. The art must continue despite the random thought that occurred.]

With so many of us developing these new features, has anyone started a furry support group yet? I think it might soon be necessary.

[Who gave this man an internet connection?]

Guess that's the term we're sticking with huh?

[HE WON. JUN HAS WON]

I wouldn't mind the chance of meeting others, honestly.

[stripartist]

Why wouldn't it be? That's what you call these sorts of people in the West, isn't it?

[Yusuke legit thinks "furry" is the American term for "kemonomimi".]

[hoshikiri]

... Did something prompt this?

[stripartist]

No, I was just thinking, that's all.

[Yuri's time has Come. He's been holding onto this for longer than anyone wants to know.]

I propose that we call it the Kaisou Furry Convention. The abbreviation is even subtle enough.

Yuri. That would be rude to anyone with bird features!

I like it!

I suppose it could be nice to see how other people are coping...

Though some of us have troublesome changes that aren't animal-related too, don't we?

[Jane does not want people to feel left out.]

[stripartist]

Oh, true. But "furry" would cover most of it, I believe.

I've been reliably informed that that is not the word we should probably be using. Also after being informed, I used The Google to check that information and just- don't do that.

[He has learned things he can never unlearn!]

Anyway, yeah. I guess it would be nice to talk to other people about it. Compare notes, maybe. Tips on dealing with it.

If we're not meant to use it, then give us a better term.

[stripartist]

...Varian.

[The tone of a teacher who is Very Unamused because why would you Google without safe search on??]

Unfortunately, the only other term I know for this is Japanese.

WHY

voice

[stripartist]

Because it would be helpful?

[poisontippedcure]

No.

[Takame why is your boyfriend like this.]

voice

[stripartist]

Why not?

[dawnsdarkness]

are scalies allowed too?

[lillian no one knows what you're talking about]

[stripartist]

I don't see why not. We're not true furries, after all.

[callmekacchan]

So there's enough people having this happen that we've moved onto support group conversations now?

[He's not touching the furry conversation with a ten foot poll.]

voice

[stripartist]

It seems like it, yes.

un: hierophantcherry; video

[kokaiwanai]

... I don't think "furry" is the term I'd like to use. There's attached connotations I'd prefer to avoid and, as you can see, it's not quite accurate.

[Considering Kakyoin's been looking considerably more dragon-like.]

[stripartist]

Yes, several others have said that. In a few days, I'll put up a poll to see where the majority lies, I think. Or perhaps we could use both "furry" and "cryptid" or something...

I don't suppose I might be able to ask if anyone else has a gem in their chest here, since we're on the topic of new features?

[stripartist]

[Yusuke actually stops painting to look at his phone for a moment.

What.]

A...gem? In your chest? Snow, are you alright?

[perceptioncheck]

Oh, I thought it was a new fashion statement. We get those types sometimes at the bookstore, so I wouldn't bat an eye.

Does this includes with non-mammalian features? They wouldn't be furry, would they?

[stripartist]

It, unfortunately, is not. Some people seem to be born with them, if they aren't from this world, but most...well, we just get them at random, I think.

I was thinking it would, but Jane pointed out that we should maybe do a poll or something to find a term everyone can agree on instead.
