If you woke up as a furry, how would you react?

If I woke up as some random furry, I'd stay in bed, as per usual. When the time would come to face the world, I'd still stay in bed till I become one with the bed.

Now, if I woke up as my sona, I would make good use of the wings and fly off to find the perfect place to laze around all day... then maybe raid a small town or two out of boredom.

If I woke up as:

a Random Furry: I'd stare into my reflection in a dream-like daze while contemplating whether I'm awake or if this is the most intense lucid dream I've ever had. I may become a shut-in for a period of time.

my Fursona: I guess I'd have to get unstuck from my bed first while wondering why the flippin' hell am I stuck to my bed in the first place. Then I guess I'd just stare at myself for a while longer wondering what caused this kind of transformation. I'd probably hide out for a while but I'd contact my closest friends and talk to them about it.

If I woke up as an anthropomorphic animal, then I guess I would panic and begin to question myself if I've got Schizophrenia overnight. I would try with all my effort to discern if what I am seeing is true or not, but I am unsure if I would be able to convince myself that the whole situation isn't a hallucination.

But let's suppose that I did manage to convince myself that what happened is true, and I did in fact turn into an anthro....

a-1. Something tolerable or even likeable: I guess I will be busy researching physiology of the animal that I resemble, and begin to wonder if my own physiology would match theirs, human's, or somewhere in between. In some cases, I might even be trying to identify what the hell I have turned into, because well, I am not exactly that knowledgeable on animals. Anyway, after that, I would be greatly troubled regarding the issue of convincing others of my identity, as I am currently out alone in a foreign country and any identification issues would be a grave matter. Although all my family members are on the other side of the earth and won't be much of a help(that’s presuming that I managed to convince them of my identity) I guess I would rely greatly on them as I don't have much acquaintances, let alone friends.

a-2. Something I really don't like: I would probably be lethargic for quite some time till survival instincts kick in and force me to do necessary things. In the long run, I guess I'll get very depressed though.


b. My Fursona: In this case, I suppose I would be quite fascinated for some time, doing silly things such as staring at mirrors, or checking if various Moroccan traditional clothes I have fits my new body or not. Of course, dread will visit me eventually as I realize that I’ll have to face tons of issues including proving my identity to Moroccan officials. I would probably worry about other minor things as well, such as "does my body matches my fursona on every aspect or just appearance". But I guess I would feel an unhealthy kind of happiness beneath all these other feelings, despite the obvious fact that I am pretty fucked.

If I woke up as my fursona in anthropomorphic form I would howl with excitement then I would act completely normal.

I'd probably wake up and notice something's fucked up right away when I roll out of bed and check the full-sized mirror on the wall. I'd try to find the zipper to the costume and, upon not finding on, try to cut it away before realizing that it fucking hurts. Then I'd just continue on with my day dealing with the stares and people trying to keep a distance from me. I'd probably suicide the moment someone walks up and asks, "Sir, are you aware you are an animal?".

I hate you all
I'd look at myself at the mirror and say "hmph"
I'd go down and act normal. Inevitably receiving a shock from my mom.
I'll act like I'm shocked myself and casually tell my mom that I need to quit my job, hide from society, slack off, be lazy and rely on them to feed this useless panda.

Or you can be a productive panda and learn kung fu, save china from some guy that woke up as his peacock persona, learn some things about inner peace, then get sued by Dreamworks.

Oh hey this thread is still going around?

If I turned into my fursona I'd pack my bags and never return.

I wouldnt have to work a day in my life just hunt and scavenge and go wherever I please ...and go into hiding and become a mythical cryptid that is in legend for saving helpless animals and small children.

We have those here.

And yes, they tend to be very furry.

Though I don't have a "fursona", if I became Roose, I wouldn't have any issues, given I wouldn't even be on this planet anymore. Same if I became pretty much any of my other alien critters. Funny thing, though. I have dreamed such a scenario. But I had a cold/the flu at that time, so I can reasonably excuse myself. Though I have to admit, transforming into a six-limbed birdthing was pretty kick. So was leaving a feather behind for my family to find, along with a short note. And then, of course, the whole need to leave "civilization" behind due to... well, you know. Plus, I really enjoy flying.

And yes, this thread is lame. Also redundant. But still fun to read. Yeah. Haven't been here in awhile. Miss this place. Have fun!

If I had some spare time from annoying the road workers I could go to an anime con and win the best costume award.

I'd use my increased physical prowess to become the world's greatest mercenary.

I'd probably spend most of the day examining my new body. Looking it over, seeing if I had acquired any notable strengths or weaknesses. Trying on clothes to see what still fits etc. There would also be a question about what I could eat. This might necessitate a trip to the grocery store. I wouldn't want to draw too much attention to myself, however. My sister could probably help. I'd call her up and be like "Remember those animal characters I used to draw? We'll, I've somehow become one of them. I'll explain later, but would you mind bringing a few steaks over to my place after work?"

I'll assume I awoke as my sona or at least a canine...
My first reaction would definitely be "WTF...?" Although after that...I'd have to figure out what the hell I'm going to tell my coworkers especially since they'd never believe that I was me unless I were actually working...
I'm sure I'd get a whole hell of a lot more attention, but as long as I'm able to communicate properly I think I could get by...
If no one else drove me insane first...All the issues that I'd have to take care of would.

  1. Pants don't fit anymore...I have a tail.
  2. Chairs would be uncomfortable, particularly those without any space in the back area...again because of a tail.
  3. I already shed a lot as is, I'd hate to see what'd happen if I were covered in fur (Help)
  4. Trying to drink from a cup with a muzzle, not something I can see working out very well.

A pair of scissors fixes the pants. I've already modded a few pairs of basketball shorts for my fursuits in a similar manner. :)

I don't know if I'd have an issue with chairs or not as I'm usually sitting forward in 'em. *ponders*

I have two huge dogs, What ISN'T shedding in my house o_O

Straws work. I use straws even when drinking coffee when I'm traveling to avoid what seems to be the inevitable splashing of it when I try to use those stupid lids the "right" way.

I would be thrilled to become my fursona, despite the consequences of it.

I'd refuse to do anything remotely sexual in nature, and in turn cause the fandom to self-destruct.

I'd do the most amazing dance you've ever seen, then use my gravity powers to fly into the sunset. ^^

Random furry: depends on what species, but it would probably involve checking myself out in front of a mirror for hours.
My fursona: I'd probably be hugging and playing with my tail for hours, checking the mirrors, master the art of ear and tail control, attempt to drink from a cup, test my sense of smell and taste with random food, see how flexible my body is and probably run around town after everything. XD
