Dragons are ridiculously dramatic to the point of being hilariously overblown and replete with new-age psychology buzzwords such as Chi, mental entergy, 'magick' and all that fun stuff.
Loves high fantasy and sword-and-sorcery and such. They take everything SUPER SERIOUS and attempt to claim spiritual connection to real live dragons that only they can see.
Are usually Otherkin and highly delusional. They like vore, hyper, and enjoy macro. Their sexual appetite is bottomless, rivaling foxes.
Often they are goth and/or rather GRIMDARK, and if they wear clothes it's usually BELTAN ZIPPAR* type clothes with more buckles, belts, straps, and zips than a Final Fantasy video game. Inclined towards gayness but more often than not they are hermaphrodites.
Not all furries are like this, I'm well aware...and so I'd like to hear from those who have original characters - maybe species that aren't the norm and are widely known.
These are just a few stereotypes, and I could go on for pages and pages about the stereotypes for just these three in detail, let alone of the others(such as horses being incredibly virile, to the tune of being able to fill a gallon container).
Maybe you're a fox who's big, muscular, and stands up for himself? Or you're a wolf with a pleasant attitude and a carefree, bon-vivant personality. If your fursona doesn't adhere to the burgeoning expectancies of the community, then please share the ways you're above the masses here.
*looks down* Nope, no penis. Thus, not a herm. Though am a dragon. ^__^ And I do consider myself to be more masculine/more balanced in gender-identity than most. I'm female-shaped, but my mental status is somewhat of a gray area. ^__^
I'm a dragoness who WAS an otherkin, and now just sorta has a chipper attitude about the entire idea. I figure, if I don't take myself too seriously, people are more likely to take me serious. Life is too short to take everything seriously. It's much more fun to poke fun at oneself. I mean, purely logical thinking says that being an otherkin is pretty much a crock of bullcrap. There is no logical explanation for the entire phenomena.
I am wholly guilty of being new-agey/full of thoughts about magick and the like. I don't think I'll ever outgrow that. It's way too much fun to ever give it up as not being real. As for swords and sorcery, hah, I don't think I ever was into that sort of stuff. I'll leave the RP-drama for the RPkin. Life is interesting enough without trying to make it weirder.
I have a spiritual connection to a real live dragon. That would be myself. I'm only human-shaped. ^__^ So you can see me, hear me, thus I'm not invisible/am not part of that one.
I AM delusional. But then again, I'm not. Because I can admit that my entire existance might be based in an entirely fabricated reality based on a quirk of the brain/mind, I would say I'm less delusional than most.
Meh. I attribute being against the norm to being an old-fart of a dragoness, at least in internet terms. I'm not a teenager anymore, I'm not all GLOOM AND DOOM AND OMG I'M A DRAGON.
I'm more like...meh...I'm a dragoness, this is who I am.
Most everyone fits the stereotypes when they first start out. My first dragoness fursona was an evil black dragoness full of dreams and portents who came damned close to creating an online cult. ^__^ How lovely that I've ended up as a semi-intelligent adult whose only claim to interest is that she has two tails.
And I have next to no sexual appetite. I'm a very very private dragoness and not at all inclined to poke my head into all the draconic yiff places that exist. I find casual yiff-sex to be distasteful.
Never been into the whole goth thing. I find it rather silly. It's just not my sort of scene. I like bright colors too much to ever be the gothic sort.
So, I vary from the norm. Then again, what is normal?
And I tend to ramble, which is a very very typical draconic trait.
