have you heard of a game called dust an elysian tail? if u have, what do u think about it?
Anonymous

I have indeed heard of it and I almost bought it too. I say almost because I never did buy it. What I’ve heard is encouraging (save that many complain of boss battles being underwhelming) and it has a very attractive design to it. However, I just have so many games on my plate as it is. I don’t want to prematurely add another to the stack without whittling away what I’ve got.

As a rule of thumb, I try not to have more than two new games on any given platform, so as to give me time to actually start and finish something instead of being waist-deep in unfinished digital experiences. The big thing keeping me from downloading another PC game is Grand Theft Auto. I hear you cry, “But GTA V isn’t on the PC!” This I know. I never played GTA 4 until a couple months ago. I’m still not done with it (especially after Kingdom Hearts and Wind Waker came out in HD). It doesn’t help that I picked Hawken back up after a desperately-needed update to its background mechanics. So who knows. I may still get it eventually but for now, I will just appreciate that there is a cool, Furry brawler out there with nice designs that are primed for a fanart community to defile.

-TB

ok you know what? This an actual legitimate thing

Furry is a fandom like any other. Unfortunately it is one where the negative aspects of it are taken by public media, and pretty much hung out for all to see and laugh at.  Imagine if they did that with yaoi or slash.  Or imagine if Jimmy Kimmel wanted to do an interview on Homestucks, and took a kid in the LOL BUCKETS stage who skipped to Act 5 and put her on the show to represent the entire FANDOM.

Then imagine a bunch of TV shows talk about the How to Train Your Dragon fandom, but instead of bringing up the amazing art an cosplay, they insinuate that we all dress up like Dragons and fuck each other.

THAT IS LITERALLY WHAT IT IS LIKE.

Now imagine, you like cartoon animals. Maybe you like the porn, who cares. Its private, and I’ve seen WAY weirder in other fandoms.  We know you arent LITERALLY fucking your dog, so who cares.

But the other fandoms laugh at you too.  They think its funny.  They think its funny when you try to defend yourself.  They think its funny when you get angry.  They think its ok to laugh at you.

You know what?

When members of my family saw my fursuit they assumed it was sexual and thought I was making costumes for people to have sex in.  They were worried and disgusted.

Do you have ANY idea how awkward and uncomfortable it is to have to reassure your family that no. I am not, in fact, going to use this thing in sexual encounters.


Imagine if your family saw that you were in the Supernatural fandom, and automatically asked to see all the Dean and Castiel porn you had, automatically assumed you looked at it, automatically assumed it was any of their business.

Fursuits are fuckin art okay?  They take a long time to make.  They are incredibly DIFFICULT to make.  They are expensive to build or buy, and they are hot as FUCK to wear.  On top of that a good portion of fursuiters dont talk.  Its legitimate fucking improvisational performance art.  And it is CONSTANTLY reduced to merely a fetish. 

Theyre cosplay on HARD MODE. And UNLESS you are wearing a Renamon or Toothless quadsuit, you’re obviously going to fuck someone in that tonight.

I’m not saying fucksuits don’t exist.  All I’m saying is that I’ve been in the Furry fandom for like 5 years AND IVE NEVER SEEN ONE.  IVE NEVER SEEN A FURSUIT DESIGNED FOR SEX. BECAUSE THEY KEEP THOSE THINGS IN THEIR BEDROOM. IF THEY TAKE THEM IN PUBLIC  OTHER FURRIES GET PISSED AND TELL THEM TO PUT THAT SHIT AWAY. 

Fursuits are fucking expensive.  Would you have sex in a $2000 costume thats itchy as hell? Fuck no. 

You guys have sex in your cosplays all the time right? 

ITS LOOKED AT LIKE WE ARE STUPID. OTHER. COSPLAYERS. LOOK AT US LIKE WERE BEING CHILDISH AND STUPID FOR LIKING CARTOON ANIMALS.

I don’t understand why putting hours of work into one costume is any less respectable than another simply because one happens to be an animal.

And for reference? Only a small handful of furries even have suits because theyre so fucking expensive and hard to make or obtain.  Or maybe we do have them, but its so fucking socially accepted to make fun of someone for liking two legged talking animals that we hide them and never bother mentioning how long we SPENT ON THE FUCKING THINGS.

Do not even PRETEND other fandoms dont have porn.

Do not even PRETEND other fandoms dont have WEIRD, QUESTIONABLE PORN.

THIS IS TUMBLR.  IT IS SOCIALLY ACCEPTABLE FOR PEOPLE TO POST PICTURES OF A 30 YEAR OLD CHARACTER MAKING OUT WITH A 15 YEAR OLD CHARACTER. 

Don’t even PRETEND that there isn’t a negative side to EVERY fandom.

Furries just have the unfortunate reality of having literally our darkest corners CONSTANTLY shown in the media.

When M rated incestual underage fanfiction of Dave and Rose goes up on fucking Letterman and none of you complain about it misrepresents your fandom, you can shut your mouths about this kind of thing. 

Because its a pain in the ass.

And damn right we are allowed to complain about it.

pREACH IT

I’ve been saying this at anime conventions for years. It is often met with applause. Thank you for continuing to help spread this message.

Asking both Linda and TerdBurgler: 1, 15, 26, 73, 82, 88, 94
Anonymous

1. Is there a boy/girl in your life?

TB: Indeed there is!

Linda: Well, I have a lot of friends, boys AND girls. And Mia is very special to me.

15. Would you rather visit a zoo or an art museum?

TB: It really depends on the exhibit. If it’s something like Modernism or god forbid, pop art, Zoo all the way. However, if it’s post modernism, Neo-Classics, anything Renaissance, cubism, surrealism or expressionism, Museum all the way!

Linda: I like the zoo because you get to be outside.

26. Do you have any tattoos?

TB: Nope. I’ve thought about it but nothing ever seriously enough to go through with it.

Linda: No, I haven’t gotten anything. Fur tattoos are pretty complicated to get. Besides, I really like my natural fur coloring.

73. How old will you be in 5 months?

TB: I’ll be 28.

Linda: Uh… That’s really not the sort of thing you talk about with strangers.

TB: She’ll be 26.

Linda: TERD!

82. Has anyone seen your underwear in the last 3 days?

TB: Yeah, my partner sees it every night.

Linda: No- not unless TB’s been peeping on me again. I really never know when TB is watching…

88: What is something you wish you had more of?

TB: TIME.

Linda: I always like to have more friends!

94: Does sex mean love?

TB: Not necessarily.

Linda: Terd! Of coarse sex means love. It’s so tender and intimate, how could you have sex WITHOUT love?

TB: Well, you can have an orgy with a bunch of strangers. You don’t really have a bunch of love flying around in there. It’s all squishy, sloppy lust and desire.

Linda: Oh my god, TB!

hi linda, I wanted to ask when or if a new beach linda game comes out. or any other Game

I can’t really pin myself to dates. I’m really bad at keeping to them, particularly with flas games. Good news is that Gym Jane is drawing very near to alpha testing. I still need to do some scripting for the final leg of the game but it should be ready for some run-throughs by select individuals before the end of October.

Ya know what? I AM gonna set a date for myself! Gym Jane will have a public release before the end of this year. You heard it here folks. 2013, I’m finishing this bitch.

do you like it in the back or front?

Why chose? They’re both winners!

But honestly, never neglect the front. Back is great as long as the front stays in play.

We’re talking about golf, right? Front nine and back nine?

what would you do if you ever met Sonic the hedgehog?

I would question where he’s putting all his vital organs. He’s a lot of head and limbs and very little torso. Physiologically, he’s a mystery. I’ve never seen a guy with such tiny calves run that fast or jump that high. It’s perplexing!

Also, I’d ask if he ever tapped that fine, batty Rouge ass.
