    Nah I don’t mind it for jokes but I’m definitely not a furry. Not like there’s anything wrong with it, just can’t say that I am in the ranks of the glorious.

    I would argue that my description applies to most peoples DnD characters in general though. That’s why I was confused by the furry stuff at first. Because my buddy who plays a half elf says the same thing about his character. Is he an elfie? The other one who played the goblin says the same thing. Is he a gobby? I chose aarakocra because I thought it’d be cool race to play outside of the typical humanoid ones. The wings were a bonus. But I want to be him because of his personality, not necessarily his looks. I just put his art in because I paid for it ages ago and don’t get to share it often.

      Understandable that you wouldn’t be familiar with it, but you could replace ‘D&D Character’ with ‘Fursona’ and post this in any furry community and it would be perfectly at home; the ‘Waking up and I’m still not my fursona’ theme is a pretty commonly used meme. That’s all there was to it, really.

      It’s okay, though! You don’t have to be a furry if you don’t want to be. :) I’m just teasing.

        Oh don’t worry, I’m not upset or anything lol I’m more than aware it’s just teasing and jokes <3 Besides, nothing wrong with being a furry anyway so no insult to be had.

        That’s fair though. I hadn’t really thought that. I guess considering it is a bird that really does push it over the line. Thanks for clearing it up lol
