Aoi the fox
XOF
Hello all! So, I'm still very new to the furry fandom, been in about 2 months or so? So I'm trying to find some friends and have some fun in this furry world haha.
I live in Knoxville TN (fairly recently moved here actually), so if there are any of you in Knox let me know!
I don't have much to say of myself so ill just share how I came to my realization I guess haha. I have been a big anime fan for the longest time and last year finally went to my first con (in a umbreon hoodie with ears and a tail, I didn't think much of it at the time haha). And at this con I met a fursuiter, I thought it was just a sort of made up cosplay and I really liked it, it looked fun. So a year later, I'm sitting in my room trying to figure out what I could do next year for the con. I decide maybe a simple fox ears and a tail since I thought it would be simple and still sorta cool/cute for the con. One site went to the other and I discovered the fursuits. I thought "wow, if I had the money I would love to be just a random fox at a convention". Then I saw who mainly used fursuits... furries. The sex addicts I used to hear about on the news who liked certain activities with animals.. at this point I was worried about myself thinking I must be some really messed up dude. One of my life lessons though is to always do personal research when you want the truth instead of just believing what you hear, so I decided to look into it myself. Between forums and videos on YouTube (a lot of them containing "uncle Kage" whom I owe my thanks for showing me the real side of the furry fandom) I discovered a strange thing... it reminded me of how anime fans are in a way. Whenever I looked at con videos it showed an amazing almost mirror reflection of the anime cons I went to. I was relieved and happy that I discovered this part of me and discovered the fandom as a whole.
As to why I decided to be a fox? Well I did always love them, and I even have a tattoo of one I had gotten a long while before my discovery. I think ill even use it as a reference for a fursuit if I get one one day. It will just be a partial though because I'm for the most part usually broke haha.
Oh and I plan on going to a con called Fang con here in Knoxville. I have yet to make friends here and past experience has told me going to cons alone where still fun kinda has some lonesome and boring moments in it, so if anyone is either close by or also going to the con I would love to hang with them
I hope to meet many friends on this new chapter in my life.
