Definetly awkward but friendly and please be patient with me.

Prone to overheating
Uppies? Please pick me up!

Overwhelmed easily
Social anxiety - please be patient
I don’t know what pronoun badge to pick (I know my flair says “any” but what it really means is “there’s a pronoun that makes me happier to hear but I’m too chickenshit to ask for it”)One time when I was super depressed I randomly ran into a fursuiter in public and they gave me a big hug and a piece of candy and it really cheered me up, at least for that day. Honestly makes me tear up just thinking about it. It’s amazing what a difference a simple gesture of connection and kindness can make when you’re feeling so utterly alone and alienated.
Ask for it, coward
my kid went to a con a while back, in a homemade fursuit & i think it genuinely changed their life. folks wanting to take pictures of / with them gave them confidence & many hugs were had.
awkward but friendly; please talk to me
hello ❤️ you look very handsome today, I love your hat
I am all △s (except for being a suiter, unless you count wearing a human suit?)
I need a Rolodex to go with these.
Also, I do not consent to those prices.
Please hug me! Someone, anyone
:meow-hug:
I’m Easily Overwhelmed
Light sensitivity
I’m “please be patient with me”
I promise im trying my best
$8 for those? Fuck it, I’m selling 3D printed knickknacks to furries for a living
I wrote paragraphs critiquing this sentiment as someone inside the fandom, but I got five paragraphs in and was veering into capitalist realism so I stopped myself.
Rather than some wordy, pseudo-lefty analysis, I’ll just say we have a glut of people doing that already and it sucks then follow with an emoji.
Now I want to read it though
A perfect example of how capitalism penalizes the disabled and neurodiverse though.
“Oh, you have sensory issues? That’ll be $8 per issue or guess you’ll just have to deal”
These are for fursuiters who have a hard time being heard under all the fluff
In my endless resourcefulness, I’ve solved this problem for free with a little trick I like to call dissociative episode
Definitely fragile poops. Not sure what that means but I’ve been having digestive troubles lately so I feel like I relate
ahem uhh that says “props”
Consent Badges $8 each
light sensitivity. I hate LED headlights still. they hurt
These are incredibly useful for fursuiters. Especially those without an experienced handler.
Is a handler someone who helps suiters not bump into everything?
Correct. Also helps keeps them hydrated and stuff. Make sure they don’t die from heat stroke. That kinda stuff
definitely did not intend for this post to punch down on my furry comrades, consent badges are such a cool idea! kinda silly they are $8 a piece tho.
These aren’t like official badges or anything, it’s just some person selling them. You could just make your own for zero dollars.
yea i know i’ve been to a convention before
Consent to be robbed by capitalism badges
