RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

My question is… where did I go so right?

It includes characters like Daxter the Praying Mantis and Kiki the Lunar Moth, among others.

He is creating all the art (and he is damn good) and the dialogue, then his friends will help with the technical stuff.

Sure, it may never see the light of day, but I’m just proud he is doing something this weird.

That’s my boy.

~~I'm not sure they count as "bug furries" unless they're into bees or tarantulas specifically.~~

Edit: Never mind, I just DDG'd it and there are more fuzzy bugs than I thought.

They can even just put fuzz on the non fuzzy ones. We got furry dragons; why not furry praying mantises? 🤷‍♂️

I've never held with the idea that one has to literally be furry to be a furry. It's an umbrella term. (But by all means, make the fuzzy mantids!)

I think they're called scaleys or something. I can ask my godson, he experimented with therian stuff before he came out ftm
