MossyFeathers

Only if I get to be one of the failed trials c:

Y'all forget there's an entire community around viewing one's self as an animal-person.

No? The manosphere didn't create it afaik. Afaik it's satirizing the manosphere.

My "furname" was because I wanted something soft and creature-ish. My IRL chosen name (Petrichor/Petroglyph/Petra) was because again, I wanted something kinda creature-ish but could be shortened to something feminine.

I'm kinda jealous of a friend of mine tho. Her chosen name (Coral) is literally 10/10 and kinda fits her perfectly >.>

Not my own story, but a friend of mine (who is also trans) got lectured by a guy 30yrs older than her about how hrt is bad for you after they'd fucked. That was a wild story to hear.

I kinda don't tend to hang out with cis men enough to experience mansplaining myself; though I have a vague memory that someone who was clearly clueless about how VRC works tried to correct me on someone avatar related and refused to accept they were wrong.

It's fucking satire LMAO

God, it's depressing how many people here don't get that it's painfully obvious satire.

Extant: opossum

Extinct: some form of troodontid or other theropod

Mythical: dragon

I have no idea if this is satire or not but I unironically love both the idea of your dinosaur character(?) and that YouTube clip.

It's half satire. I honestly didn't get to watch Jurassic Park as a kid because my parents knew I loved dinosaurs, but also that I was also a very timid child. As a result, I didn't get to watch it because they thought it might scare me away from my love of dinosaurs (other things in my life caused me to lose interest anyway, but I'm slowly rekindling it). Now, I honestly struggle to enjoy dinosaur media that doesn't portray them with feathers. Beautiful and terrifying is, imo, vastly superior to "I'M HERE TO SCARE".

The furry flavor was mainly for fun.

Do you have art/bio for your sona? If I ever play D&D again this may well inspire me to update my Dragonborn bard to have feathers. /gen

Also, kinda. I'm working on updating her design, but here's a fairly old screenshot of my VRC avatar.

If you'd like, I could recommend some e621/e926 tags and artwork. Be warned that you will get lewd stuff on e621 if I just give you tags, but you could use e926 with the same tags if you don't wanna get blasted by uncensored cloaca (e926 is literally just a front end for e621 that forces the safe filter on).

Bruh. My sona has feathers because that's what theropods had, and quite frankly, the idea is kinda pretty. The furry element to my comment was supposed to be for humor, not kink. "Us prehistoric birds are just as pretty as our extant brethren and it should be a crime to portray us as anything else uwu" kinda thing.

Here's the thing though. Feathered dinosaurs can be just as scary, if not more so than their highly scientifically inaccurate counterparts.

One thing to consider is this: there are several modern species of birds which can mimic a broad range of sounds, varying from other bird calls, human speech, car alarms, heavy machinery, and so on. Furthermore, the birds capable of mimicry often also have the ability to associate these sounds with specific contexts, and perform these sounds while anticipating a specific outcome; for an example: a parrot asking for a cracker because it expects to receive a cracker when it asks for one.

Additionally, due to their relation to birds, theropods would have been less likely to roar and more likely to chirp. Sounds silly and cute right? Well, as an animal gets larger, the noises they make typically get slower and lower in pitch. Try slowing and pitching down the sound of a chicken going bwak-ack or the call of a loon and tell me that isn't really fucking unsettling. Hell, just the unedited call of a loon itself is fucking disturbing if you imagine it's coming from a voracious carnivore and not a waterbird.

Also, you can't tell me that making dinosaurs act even more bird-like wouldn't be even more terrifying: https://youtu.be/yS71VeptuEc

What other family movies would you like updated to indulge your personal kinks?

Since you asked though, Zootopia really should have an unrated cut that includes scenes of Judy getting railed by Nick's fat, knotted fox cock. c:

I love dinosaurs. One of my main sonas is a feathery fuckwit named Mossy Feathers. I'm strongly considering going back to school for paleontology.

All that to say that I never watched Jurassic Park growing up because my parents thought it would scare me away from dinosaurs. I will continue to never watch it because they refuse to even make a "feathered cut" of the movie.

As you may imagine, this is inexcusable for a company the size of Disney. I am personally offended for both for myself and dino-kind. To add insult to injury, to the best of my memory, they have publically stated that they have no interest in updating the dinosaur visuals and instead will proceed to portray dinosaurs unrealistically. Imagine if humans were regularly portrayed as simple-minded cavemen who shout "unga bunga" and bang sticks together. Then research discovered that, in spite of current world events, this is not in fact an accurate portrayal of humanity; yet the media continued to portray humans in this way because "it's scarier and more entertaining".

This is speciesist and it is not okay. You can do better. We all deserve better.

The ones I had were pretty shitty, lol. Like, I had some good ones like Zoombinis or Freddi Fish, but most of them were stuff like "Milly's Math House".

Weird childhood obsessions; some were good, some were bad, some became things that defined me as an adult.

A lot of the edutainment games I played as a child. I actually went back and installed them to see what they were like through the eyes of an adult. There were a few that were still fun, but as you might be able to guess, most were pretty shitty.

That said, there have been a few things that ended up being 100% worth revisiting. CRT monitors, for an example, are unironically still kinda awesome. I just wouldn't replace my main monitors with one.
