@꧁. Lolbit.꧂ you don’t know what Etsy is- oh. Oh you poor thing. Basically it’s a place where people sell things that they made, like rugs and beds and clothing.
@꧁. Lolbit.꧂ and also you aren’t the only one making fursuits at a shockingly early age, saying that makes it appear that you are trying to look “special” and “quirky” by pushing Away the thousands of kids making their own fursuits while young just to make yourself feel unique. Have a nice day kiddo.
My school has told me when I get my fursuit I can be the school mascot and go to most of the sports matches! So a positive reaction to me being a furry in my eyes☺️☺️
“Of you’re 13 years old and have a fursuit, that’s crazy!” Me, 13: why thank you, I am insane after all. ;-; why did I make a full bod... so much brushing 😩
There's a decent number of furs here in Sweden! They're just quite well-hidden, but there are meets :) In Stockholm we have the Furry Fika on the first Sunday of each month, in Gamla Stan!
Panda Curry i know that. But sadly my mom hates furries. So i can't join those groups. And it's impossible to change her mind about them because she is really naive. When she says that something is that way then its that way end of discussion. So I'm just a furry in secret for now until i move out to my own home.
Im not sure if the Type 1 Diabetic furry would be browsing these comments, BUT if you are! I am an adult that has had that disease for most of my life and I am a very active fursuiter! I actually filmed a video talking about fursuiting with Diabetes (and other disabilities) and its in the process of being edited. If you end up finding this little comment, feel free to check my channel in a few weeks as it should be uploaded by then
MothSicles thank you for what you do I'm a handler for a lot I run it as a business and I have lots of experience with suites with "disabilities" and can personally say as long as you know and your handler knows you will be amazing no matter what
MothSicles yes! Another type 1 diabetic, I am planning on getting a fursuit and I'm censored about what my blood sugar will be in suit because hear can lower it
As a furry with T1D it really made my day that someone asked a question like that, I feel like things like that should be talked about in the fursuitng/cosplaying community. Love this!
Pocari I have a question. I'm 15 I love being a part of the furry fandom. I just have a lot of social anxiety so I kinda feel like I don't belong. I just don't know how to communicate with others and not feel shy and stressed. I know my anxiety is something I can't control but I was wondering if you had any tips to make myself feel more comfortable. Love you 💙💙
Night King I’m not Pocari, but I have a little advice. I have bad social anxiety too, but I have have found ways to belong. I have an art account where I make stories and art. I have a lot of people who support me because of this, and it makes me more confident in social life. This probably didn’t help, but that’s just me. It helps to know that there are people who like my art and like to talk to me, so I can be more confident.
(i’m also not pocari, but) i went to anthrocon a year ago and had the worst time of my life due to social anxiety /: you really have to prepare yourself and build yourself up for big things like that. while the community is wonderful, it can be extremely overwhelming. it’s all small steps, friend. i, and many others, believe in you and support you :3 hope things go well
I'm not a furry and I'm certainly not Pocari, but I've noticed that with the amount of diversity in the furry fandom, most people tend to be very accepting and caring towards others, regardless of age and social anxiety. In fact, from my observation, a lot of people seem to be drawn toward the fandom BECAUSE of social anxiety, so I'm sure you will find comfort and support in those who can sympathize with you based on their own personal experience. I'm not an expert my any means, but I'm sure you will find your place and be greeted with acceptance and kindness from those around you. Hope this helps in some way!
Hi don't worry I'm even yonger than you and I feel the same. I like to think that your s new person if you suit or if your around people just like you.
chamomile helps with anxiety, whether it's the tea or having a supplement tablet prior to or even just the night before, this is coming from someone in a family of people with Aspergers so anxiety is quite common and we all have experienced the changes after having it.
Me and my sister are young furs and we're making our own Fursuits! We are both helping each other financially and some of these answers helped me a lot Thanks! - Cloudy the Wolf 👌🏼
I’d definitely be a maned lioness! I love lions, and everything about them (from their manes to their thin tales with the poof at the end). My sona is a lion and I love ‘em.
any reccomendations on how to tell friends and family that you're a furry? I'm pretty good at randomly introducing my friends to fandoms that I'm in, but the furry fandom seems a bit more tricky to introduce.. (Love ya)
I seem to have the same problem, I wouldn't hesitate if it weren't for the fact that one of my friends kinda hates on the Fandom and another thinks it's only about sex. I've tried explaining that it's not (since they brought up the topic it was fairly easy to explain that I was researching the Fandom, since at that time I was). He didn't really seem to get the hint to stop bashing the Fandom for its sexual side -.-
@Daniel at the end and anyone else with a similar issue: you can buy hiking backpacks that are full of water and have a little drinking tube that you can feed up through the inside of the suit. It might make a tiny lump in the back, but most of them are slim and not too bad. If you desperately need water, it's right there with a little mouthpiece. The only thing is to make sure you have a handler who would know about the water bladder on your back so no one surprise jumps you. But they are usually pretty sturdy too
I have a question Pacari, I have a "friend" and he says a should not get a fursuit because it's weird or if I do get one I should not wear it at school because it would be weird. Should I not get a fursuit of my character that took hours to draw? -Void the Dutch Angel Dragon
I'm not Pocari but if you ask me, you should get a fursuit if you really want one. It's your choice, not your friend's. I do suggest not to wear it at school though.
I agree if I where to tell everyone in my school that I was a furry my school year would be a disaster! But you should get a fursuit. I wish I could afford one.
Void Canvas I had a friend of similar Attitude towards fursuiters and after discovering Pocari here, i develouped a "Good for you mate, thats your opinion and your intitled to that" attitude, and he just went... "Righto then" and dropped the subject about suiters. Keep in mind this reaction may vairy friend to friend
If you want to yes! Don't wear it to school (they usually won't let you). Like seriously don't wear it to school, wear it to cons, meets, or in public parks but school is not the place for a suit!
I’m able to look at something and if I have a picture of it next to me and it’s big enough, I’m able to draw it almost exactly (only know that *FACT* because I drew myself in art class and it looks almost identical) is this a good thing?
I would be a species that I came up with or a soda roo in a furry world. Edit: Slightly more recent me has decided that I would be my fursona, Gear the Foxl (Foxl = fox/owl/snake hybrid)
#QnA Hey Pocari! I was just wondering *how* do you get a fursuit handler? Do you get a friend to do it, or do you pay someone or what?? I have no idea because I'm pretty new to the fandom, sorry :P
YO, I KNOW THIS IS A VERY LATE REPLY BUT THAT'S MY DEADNAME TOO AND JUDGING BY YOUR ACCOUNT NAME YOUR NAME IS EITHER MARS OR SOMETHING SIMILAR (EVERYONE CALLS ME MARS BUT MY NAME IS MARSHALL) AND I THINK THATS REALLY EPIC
One thing I want to say is that they actually have backpacks that have hydration packs in them that you can drink from because they have a tube for,well,you to drink from.they don’t spill and come in small to hiking packs.a cool alternative to regular water bottles.
One of my friends is making me a free partial fursuit and she is only 13! I’m so glad to be able to give her so much inspiration and advice on my art to help her develop her art as well! She is so sweet and I hope to work with her in the future!
For someone who dehydrates a lot quicker; maybe a water backpack will help? I like to use them, as you constantly have water on you and it’s a small tube you can fit in the muzzle (or sneak under the neck). You can also cover it with a cuter back pack over the top; or put it in that one if it works.
Im 13 but im ordering a suit. Its only because ive been saving money for 4 years... Ive a been a furry for that long even if am young! Dont judge a young fur with a suit by their head. 😂
Bird Daddy, it's great and all that you've saved up and all, but it would be a reeaally good idea to wait until you are in your upper teens to twenty something or other, because if you buy your suit now, you'll grow out of it by next year, and that would stink, I know, waiting also stinks, but at least you could still save even more so that your suit can be more detailed, or full suit, or better somehow, and also fit you longer
LightfulFoxtrot I'm a bit scared of getting art because ive been scamed so many times with commissions and if i even get a shirt with anything furry related you can guess the hate ill get in middle school ;-;
Bird Daddy even with just a head, you still can grow out of that, and definitely your hands, so it might be better to wait, but you do you, I'm just trying to give some neighbourly advise
cheese brettschneider yeah i agree. Im know about all the stuff ill grow out of. Its just something ive wanted to do. I would also just like to see if i like suiting. It might not be the best time but....I just want to get a taste before i get serious (if i do) thank you for help though!
Even though my character is a dragon I think that personally I would live as a kobold. The wings would just get in the way haha also kobolds re adorable
Hi pocari! I have a quick question after I rant about how much I love what you do! I LOVE WHAT YOU DO! I would love to do this and I am still learning ( I'm 15 and a new furry) I am having a big problem trying to find local fur meets and I would love to meet some of you Now for the question. Do you ever get free time to just do what YOU want or are you constantly busy with youtube and furcons. Thanks joelaster (Jo-last-er) #QNA
I acendently made it my real name joseph gaconnet and I just sent it up a week ago so I don't think you got the notification yet. Its only a one doler think but I plan on up grading soon p.s. sorry to hear about the low life that is stealing the content
I really love interspecies relationships in the furry fandom, I just think they're really adorable! Not to mention me and my partners fursona are different species, mine being an Eagle Owl and my partner being an Emperor Moth, a very odd combination but it's cute for me! As for what animal I would be, well I've already said it, an Eagle Owl, specifically a Eurasian Eagle Owl. Reason why is because I already fit most characteristics of an owl and of course I am a night owl, I mean, I'm writing this comment at 3 in the morning xD. I always prefer to just be myself and I feel comfortable with that thought so one day I just found what animal best suits me and draw myself as that animal of course with some noticeable similarities appearence wise like my hair, body type and clothes.
That's what I was trying to find in the comments too. I'm sorry I don't have an answer for you, other than it might just be because it's a smaller con and because it is in the state of Indiana (I live in Indiana). Indiana is a republican state as it is, and while there are differently nice people who live in Indiana, there is a good number of not so nice people who live here as well, but I guess that really just goes for wherever you may live. But I'm just going to assume it's for the later of my two inferences. (Or simply because there are too many Trump supporters here.)
You know what, to be honest, that wouldn't surprise me. As in, if that was/is the reason, it wouldn't surprise me. There are a lot of druggies here too.
I cried when pocari read the one with the type one diabetic. I didnt think i would ever hear of anyone else in the furry fandom with type one diabetes except for my friends. It was also very nice to see that pocari at least acted like they understand what it is, because people usually dont understand it or hear diabetes and think type two diabetes. Im so happy rn and i know its stupid but whatever
What furry would I be? Uh duh, a horse -motions hands back and forth in the air from crotch to knee length away- But really I'd probably want to be a silver fox, a horse or a bald ass eagle becau-GOOOOOOOOD BLESS A-MERHICAAAA... MY HOOOOOOOM SWEEEEEEEEET home.
Raynie Daze god bless America your home sweet home, users of the guns and killer of the gnome If you are black the police shall hit your dome, if you are white then freely you shall roam!! Ammmmmmeeeeerrrrriiiicccccaaaaaaa!! Please, please change.
Sorry, I guess I was presumptuous. I took it as you were being a left-wing liberal making an anti white supremacist response to me just being overly patriotic. I just want the US to be like the good old days, United. I probably shouldn't have said anything at all.
I’m two years late but I just joined the fandom recently so don’t worry about it. Assuming you could be a hybrid in this fictional world, I’d be my fursona, he’s a bear-fox hybrid named Box (because that was the first name I thought of and I thought it was funny and kinda cute). I chose a bear-fox hybrid because I thought those two animals captured my personality pretty well, playful, mischievous, and kinda lazy lol.
My fursona is a platypus, so that's what I'd be in a furry world. I've always loved water, but also trails on land. I was also the "weird one" in high school, and not many people would chose a platypus. I have seen a few other platypus fursonas around, but it's a really unique creature that suits my creativity.
Hello, Pocari! I have two questions. 1, what con do you recommend for someone who never went to one before and 2, do you have any advice for designing a fursona? Can't really say I'm good at putting details on my fursona. I have the colors down but I have no idea what patterns to put on my cat. If you do answer, thanks and have a great day! :3:3 -Seagrass Ruby
I started making masks when I was like 13?? And that's what got me into the fandom! I've started making them more often and I want to be a maker later on.
I'm saving up for a suit at 13! And I'm actually making one myself! I do have a question though, do you know of and tv head fursuits? I'm making one and I can't find any references to help me out! Thanks for reading - Zero the sad cat #QNA
My friends and I started an art club at our school, back in December. We had a few people join and we all draw what we are interested in. My best friend draws her love story pictures, I draw mythical creatures and furries, my other friends draws things out of games like fnaf, another guy draws cars, and one draws war things. It is the best, but now we can't talk or draw together because of this stupid virus.
Griffin every time. Want the best aspects of both big cats and birds of prey with the added bonus of six limbs (legs, arms, wings)? Maybe an owl variant for those mega senses. And on top of all that they look and act majestic to.
I would be my sona, a blue and white wolf. Wolves have a strong loyalty to their packs and can be silly or good leaders. Sometimes they can even go at things alone, but are happier and more successful in packs
A deer for sure! Quick, graceful, easy to find a food source, and I kinda feel like a meek and humble herbivore. I also love the HUGE ears and big doe eyes.
If I lived in a real furry world... If original species count, I'd be a Snugdae (Snugdaes are an original species I created only, like, yesterday and are basically really floofy and harmless creatures made of ice cream) If original species DON'T count but mythical creatures did, I'd be a Kitsune :D But, if neither count, I would probably just be a cat 😺
I’m 13 and I own a kigu and am currently paying for a full partial (payment plan) I do commissions and I get £20 a month, also... Christmas and birthdays! Love this video!
To the question at 9:45 I would like to say that I have Type one Diabetes as well and the best thing to do is before suiting to just make sure your blood glucose is at a higher point to be safe. I do this when ever I want to do something like running. However, a handler would be very wise to have with you. Also, always have your Dexcom (or what ever company your insurance company forces you to use) in reach on you from your fursuit. The worst thing is to not know your BG level while doing something physical. Btw, jelly beans aren’t as fabulous a treat while having a low blood sugar as smarties.
I would definitely go with a Harris hawk. Beautiful and majestic birds of prey. But, also used to have 3 of them as pets. They were strong, but gentle towards me and my brother's so it'll always be a soft spot for me
for a Q&A: I'm going to my first furry con in May! I'm so excited, and I've dreamed of this for years! Here's the issue: I don't have any friends in the fandom. How do you meet people online and/or at cons? Do you just go and message people? Navigating furry spaces online can be quite intimidating!
Hey Pocari!!!! I have a small question... What are those metal thingies on the back of your paws? I can sort of see them in the videos but I can get a good look.
I have a question! I've got a Sona, however,, she's a dragon. I'd love to make a head for her, but since she's a dragon, i'm really worried on how the heck i would have the skin on the head. Im not saying its easy to fur a head, but sewing sheets of fur is much easier to do and hide seams. If by some god sent fabric, if there was a 'reptile skin' fabric, 1.) Wouldnt it be near impossible to fur (uh, skin?) A head with that kind of fabric as you would see every single seam, and 2.) Fursuit heads are hOT as it is, wouldn't a 'skin' like head be even hotter? I guess its just a little disheartening to think i can never make myself a head without resorting to a really shaved down fur like most other dragon suiters do. I'm curious as to what anyone else thinks about this.
For the daniel in the last question, maybe carry a sugary beverage? or maybe something like a camelback with sugarwater or etc, idk what a person with your condition may need, but a medical bracelet could be a prudent idea if you are suiting alone. not sure how risky it may be for ya, you might want a handler for atleast the first couple dozen times. a good friend might be good :)
In a zootopia like world I would be my fursona, Beryllium the shape shifter. The music was also great! (To answer the question at the end of the video) I love all your videos and I look forward to the next one.
#QnA Hey Pocari, I have 2 questions 1. what other fandom communities are you in? As you can see I am a my Little pony fan. 2. About how much money do you think it might cost to make a partial fursuit?
I always find it interesting to hear that people would choose Canada over the US. Many people believe that the US is super unsafe, and while it is true that some parts are unsafe, there are also lots of unsafe places in Canada too. The problem is that Canada's population is so small (I think it's around 36 million now?) that any major events barely ever make international news haha. I have lived in Canada my whole life, but I'm dying to get down to the states! It's far too cold here for me, and I find that there are just so many more opportunities down in the US to make a good living. But that's just my opinion on things, hopefully soon I can live somewhere on the ocean where I won't freeze like an ice cube everyday!
If furries were real I’d be a maned wolf, it’s a wolf with long legs that look like a deer’s but the pattern looks like a red fox. They are also the species of my main fursona
Amazing video as always, Pocari! (I know this isn't exactly recent, but I'm rewatching some videos while I wait for new ones because why not) If I could be any species, I'd either be a wolf, a night stalker (one of my original species), saber/ lynx, or a crow. I know it's alot, but all of my fursonas are those species and I would obviously love to be my own fursona Anyway, love the video. Keep up the amazing work :)
Hey Pocari!!! So, answering your question about which animal I would be and why, I would most likely be a deer, gazelle, ram, or mountain goat, as I wish I could be fast and fit like them, and I live in an area by the rocky mountains, so I would fit in... also, I'm really jumpy! xD lol Love the videos!!!
#QNA What do think of the possibility of having water flixible cooling pipes In a fursuit, and especially head. How big is the back of the head because I can imagine a small water pump may fit, having a mesh of pipes or even just a few cooling pads that run constantly would be awesome, I don't know how you would vent the hot air though, would this be possible? Hello from Sydney -also, I have a 3d printer (cr10s) do you think you could print a fursuit head base

Hey, Pocari! I just read that Australia passed a marriage equality bill. Congrats!
Omg you answered meee! And thanks for the tips, I didn’t know about all the salty people, and maybe I just might send you a badge or tail 😅
I got my suit ( I still wear it now) when I was 11. (My parents aren't rich) it was one I could afford luckily with my birthday money.
Vanilla Kream How much money did you get?!
How much money did u getfor your bday!?!?!

Ooh Pocari! I gotta tell you before the comments get flooded your fursuits are so cute and it's amazing how much hard work you put in to get them
WolfSword87 she doesnt make her suits but if your talking about the characters she sure does work hard.

I'd probably be a winged cat because I'd love to fly, I love cats and they love pets, are independent, smart and lazy like me.
If I could be any animal I would be somthing that can fly, run fast, look cool, look friendly, be colorful, and be silly. :3
I’d definitely be a maned lioness! I love lions, and everything about them (from their manes to their thin tales with the poof at the end). My sona is a lion and I love ‘em.

I'm 11 too! I'm saving up for a fursuit so that may take a while
any reccomendations on how to tell friends and family that you're a furry? I'm pretty good at randomly introducing my friends to fandoms that I'm in, but the furry fandom seems a bit more tricky to introduce.. (Love ya)
it's a hobby. it's not like your coming out. stop treating it like that.
I seem to have the same problem, I wouldn't hesitate if it weren't for the fact that one of my friends kinda hates on the Fandom and another thinks it's only about sex. I've tried explaining that it's not (since they brought up the topic it was fairly easy to explain that I was researching the Fandom, since at that time I was). He didn't really seem to get the hint to stop bashing the Fandom for its sexual side -.-
It was easier for me to actually come out then say I was a furry lol. Once you move out it doesn't matter. :o
oh wow I just told my friend randomly. She accepted. But my family on the other hand...
I can’t choose but it would be a fantasy world so I’d probably be a chimera, I actually have a fursona of them but it’s not completely fleshed out
Really? I would be an Iron Crystal Foux, Pocari what are your opinion on those?
@Daniel at the end and anyone else with a similar issue: you can buy hiking backpacks that are full of water and have a little drinking tube that you can feed up through the inside of the suit. It might make a tiny lump in the back, but most of them are slim and not too bad. If you desperately need water, it's right there with a little mouthpiece.
The only thing is to make sure you have a handler who would know about the water bladder on your back so no one surprise jumps you. But they are usually pretty sturdy too
I have a question Pacari, I have a "friend" and he says a should not get a fursuit because it's weird or if I do get one I should not wear it at school because it would be weird. Should I not get a fursuit of my character that took hours to draw? -Void the Dutch Angel Dragon
I'm not Pocari but if you ask me, you should get a fursuit if you really want one. It's your choice, not your friend's.
I do suggest not to wear it at school though.
I agree if I where to tell everyone in my school that I was a furry my school year would be a disaster! But you should get a fursuit. I wish I could afford one.
Yes get a fursuit! I would NOT wear it to school, you don’t need to get bullied, or damage your reputation.
Void Canvas I had a friend of similar Attitude towards fursuiters and after discovering Pocari here, i develouped a "Good for you mate, thats your opinion and your intitled to that" attitude, and he just went... "Righto then" and dropped the subject about suiters. Keep in mind this reaction may vairy friend to friend
If you want to yes! Don't wear it to school (they usually won't let you). Like seriously don't wear it to school, wear it to cons, meets, or in public parks but school is not the place for a suit!
me: im not that much of a furry!
My yt recommendations: r u sure?
my username: r u sure?
my conscience: r u sure?
I’m able to look at something and if I have a picture of it next to me and it’s big enough, I’m able to draw it almost exactly (only know that *FACT* because I drew myself in art class and it looks almost identical) is this a good thing?
That's incredible! That's a skill very few people have. Treasure it ^w^
I would be a species that I came up with or a soda roo in a furry world.
Edit: Slightly more recent me has decided that I would be my fursona, Gear the Foxl (Foxl = fox/owl/snake hybrid)
#QnA
Hey Pocari! I was just wondering *how* do you get a fursuit handler? Do you get a friend to do it, or do you pay someone or what?? I have no idea because I'm pretty new to the fandom, sorry :P
Kitty Donut Wolf you would definitely get a very trusted friend or parent
Me a trans man: *hears deadname at the beginning of the video* how the fu- o-o
YO, I KNOW THIS IS A VERY LATE REPLY BUT THAT'S MY DEADNAME TOO AND JUDGING BY YOUR ACCOUNT NAME YOUR NAME IS EITHER MARS OR SOMETHING SIMILAR (EVERYONE CALLS ME MARS BUT MY NAME IS MARSHALL) AND I THINK THATS REALLY EPIC
@@kopenin4129 woah!! Thats actually kinda freakin awesome!! XD
I’d be a Dragon so I could fly and breathe fire and cool stuff like that. They also look cool.
No doubt they would look cool.
Well it's a raffle people. It is a random choosing of a fursuit or the person who gets it. calm down. You might have a chance next year.
I'd be a cicada or an ant because insect furs are cool
moon69 nice its always nice to see moth sonas because they ussually turn out great
I have 2 cicadas an ant and tarantula sona
🐝
I freaking love cicadas!
@充香 do you like looking at *lamps?* •3• (sorry)
I would be a protogen or a primagen, they can change tails and go explore the waters! That would be pretty cool
My fursona Lost the Wolf-dragon obviously
Ohhhhh, that would be pawsome.
One thing I want to say is that they actually have backpacks that have hydration packs in them that you can drink from because they have a tube for,well,you to drink from.they don’t spill and come in small to hiking packs.a cool alternative to regular water bottles.
I would be my furrsona, Crunchy he's a red wolf, he's my ever first furrsona, and I also have one more.
P.S. I LOVE THE ENDING😍
Tyler Hartley ah nice red wolf fam! (if you mean the species red wolf double high fives bcs they’re super cool!)
Hazel_Leaf Yeeesssss :3
One of my friends is making me a free partial fursuit and she is only 13! I’m so glad to be able to give her so much inspiration and advice on my art to help her develop her art as well! She is so sweet and I hope to work with her in the future!
Honestly Id probably be a ferret they're so cute
A snow leopard. They're so majestic and have always been my favorite qwq
*fellow australian*
For someone who dehydrates a lot quicker; maybe a water backpack will help? I like to use them, as you constantly have water on you and it’s a small tube you can fit in the muzzle (or sneak under the neck). You can also cover it with a cuter back pack over the top; or put it in that one if it works.
Im 13 but im ordering a suit. Its only because ive been saving money for 4 years... Ive a been a furry for that long even if am young! Dont judge a young fur with a suit by their head. 😂
Bird Daddy, it's great and all that you've saved up and all, but it would be a reeaally good idea to wait until you are in your upper teens to twenty something or other, because if you buy your suit now, you'll grow out of it by next year, and that would stink, I know, waiting also stinks, but at least you could still save even more so that your suit can be more detailed, or full suit, or better somehow, and also fit you longer
cheese brettschneider i know about all of the terrible things. Im only a head, tail, and paws. Dont worry about that
LightfulFoxtrot I'm a bit scared of getting art because ive been scamed so many times with commissions and if i even get a shirt with anything furry related you can guess the hate ill get in middle school ;-;
Bird Daddy even with just a head, you still can grow out of that, and definitely your hands, so it might be better to wait, but you do you, I'm just trying to give some neighbourly advise
cheese brettschneider yeah i agree. Im know about all the stuff ill grow out of. Its just something ive wanted to do. I would also just like to see if i like suiting. It might not be the best time but....I just want to get a taste before i get serious (if i do) thank you for help though!
Even though my character is a dragon I think that personally I would live as a kobold. The wings would just get in the way haha also kobolds re adorable
Hi pocari!
I have a quick question after I rant about how much I love what you do! I LOVE WHAT YOU DO! I would love to do this and I am still learning ( I'm 15 and a new furry) I am having a big problem trying to find local fur meets and I would love to meet some of you
Now for the question. Do you ever get free time to just do what YOU want or are you constantly busy with youtube and furcons. Thanks joelaster
(Jo-last-er)

+Badass 3884 Heya! Before I answer, do you mind letting me know what your name on patreon is? Your YT account is new to me :0
I acendently made it my real name joseph gaconnet and I just sent it up a week ago so I don't think you got the notification yet. Its only a one doler think but I plan on up grading soon p.s. sorry to hear about the low life that is stealing the content
+Badass 3884 Ahhh gotcha! Yeah, all that hubbub is why I just had to check x. x
Hey for the person who was worried about diabetes type 1. I am a furry and have that. It is difficult but the handler thing is pretty handy.
I LOVE YOU POCARI!!!
I really love interspecies relationships in the furry fandom, I just think they're really adorable! Not to mention me and my partners fursona are different species, mine being an Eagle Owl and my partner being an Emperor Moth, a very odd combination but it's cute for me!
As for what animal I would be, well I've already said it, an Eagle Owl, specifically a Eurasian Eagle Owl. Reason why is because I already fit most characteristics of an owl and of course I am a night owl, I mean, I'm writing this comment at 3 in the morning xD. I always prefer to just be myself and I feel comfortable with that thought so one day I just found what animal best suits me and draw myself as that animal of course with some noticeable similarities appearence wise like my hair, body type and clothes.
Some furrys are as salty as the deep blue sea
My friend bought a fursuit for 2500$ that took 3 years of her being a really good artist and getting commisions and working irl!
Why does Indifurcon have a bad rap??
That's what I was trying to find in the comments too. I'm sorry I don't have an answer for you, other than it might just be because it's a smaller con and because it is in the state of Indiana (I live in Indiana). Indiana is a republican state as it is, and while there are differently nice people who live in Indiana, there is a good number of not so nice people who live here as well, but I guess that really just goes for wherever you may live. But I'm just going to assume it's for the later of my two inferences. (Or simply because there are too many Trump supporters here.)
anno martyrum That's just strange
Also it's not that great over in Chicago :/
I'm pretty sure there was a drug bust with police involved or something. Something to do with police.
You know what, to be honest, that wouldn't surprise me. As in, if that was/is the reason, it wouldn't surprise me. There are a lot of druggies here too.
No idea i've been there most every year since its first year. nothing really sticks out XD
Well since you asked I think I would be a shapeshifter if anthro was real because I have like 10,000 fursonas and I can't pick one hhhhhhhhh
“What would you be(I don’t remember the question lol)?”
*-0tTer-*
Or a Fennec Fox... *-~Their Ears Are So Big And FlO0fY..~-*
I cried when pocari read the one with the type one diabetic. I didnt think i would ever hear of anyone else in the furry fandom with type one diabetes except for my friends. It was also very nice to see that pocari at least acted like they understand what it is, because people usually dont understand it or hear diabetes and think type two diabetes. Im so happy rn and i know its stupid but whatever
What furry would I be? Uh duh, a horse -motions hands back and forth in the air from crotch to knee length away-
But really I'd probably want to be a silver fox, a horse or a bald ass eagle becau-GOOOOOOOOD BLESS A-MERHICAAAA... MY HOOOOOOOM SWEEEEEEEEET home.
Raynie Daze god bless America your home sweet home, users of the guns and killer of the gnome
If you are black the police shall hit your dome, if you are white then freely you shall roam!!
Ammmmmmeeeeerrrrriiiicccccaaaaaaa!! Please, please change.
Oh knock it off, don't be part of the problem. Also I'm Asian.
Raynie Daze how am i part of the problem i just made a joke...
Sorry, I guess I was presumptuous. I took it as you were being a left-wing liberal making an anti white supremacist response to me just being overly patriotic. I just want the US to be like the good old days, United. I probably shouldn't have said anything at all.
love this comment
God save the Stars and Stripes
I’m two years late but I just joined the fandom recently so don’t worry about it. Assuming you could be a hybrid in this fictional world, I’d be my fursona, he’s a bear-fox hybrid named Box (because that was the first name I thought of and I thought it was funny and kinda cute). I chose a bear-fox hybrid because I thought those two animals captured my personality pretty well, playful, mischievous, and kinda lazy lol.
My fursona is a platypus, so that's what I'd be in a furry world. I've always loved water, but also trails on land. I was also the "weird one" in high school, and not many people would chose a platypus. I have seen a few other platypus fursonas around, but it's a really unique creature that suits my creativity.
Hello, Pocari! I have two questions. 1, what con do you recommend for someone who never went to one before and 2, do you have any advice for designing a fursona? Can't really say I'm good at putting details on my fursona. I have the colors down but I have no idea what patterns to put on my cat. If you do answer, thanks and have a great day! :3:3 -Seagrass Ruby
I started making masks when I was like 13?? And that's what got me into the fandom! I've started making them more often and I want to be a maker later on.
I love how EzCoolDown had Reaper next to a fursuiter XD
Edit: I would be a German Shepard, because they're really strong and cool dogs! :p
If furries were real I would totally be my fursona. A cyan, hot pink, and yellow Wolf/Doggo/Protogen hybrid.
Okay that sounds awesome
I'm saving up for a suit at 13! And I'm actually making one myself! I do have a question though, do you know of and tv head fursuits? I'm making one and I can't find any references to help me out! Thanks for reading - Zero the sad cat
#QNA
My friends and I started an art club at our school, back in December. We had a few people join and we all draw what we are interested in. My best friend draws her love story pictures, I draw mythical creatures and furries, my other friends draws things out of games like fnaf, another guy draws cars, and one draws war things. It is the best, but now we can't talk or draw together because of this stupid virus.
Hmm, I think I'd like to be a dragon cat hybrid. Or an Angel Dragon, because those things are adorable as heck
I actually went back in the video and rewatched the part when you said Canada because I thought I heard it wrong, and now I'm happy XD
Griffin every time. Want the best aspects of both big cats and birds of prey with the added bonus of six limbs (legs, arms, wings)? Maybe an owl variant for those mega senses. And on top of all that they look and act majestic to.
I would be my sona, a blue and white wolf. Wolves have a strong loyalty to their packs and can be silly or good leaders. Sometimes they can even go at things alone, but are happier and more successful in packs
A deer for sure! Quick, graceful, easy to find a food source, and I kinda feel like a meek and humble herbivore. I also love the HUGE ears and big doe eyes.
If I lived in a real furry world...
If original species count, I'd be a Snugdae (Snugdaes are an original species I created only, like, yesterday and are basically really floofy and harmless creatures made of ice cream)
If original species DON'T count but mythical creatures did, I'd be a Kitsune :D
But, if neither count, I would probably just be a cat 😺
I’m 13 and I own a kigu and am currently paying for a full partial (payment plan)
I do commissions and I get £20 a month, also... Christmas and birthdays!
Love this video!
To the question at 9:45 I would like to say that I have Type one Diabetes as well and the best thing to do is before suiting to just make sure your blood glucose is at a higher point to be safe. I do this when ever I want to do something like running. However, a handler would be very wise to have with you. Also, always have your Dexcom (or what ever company your insurance company forces you to use) in reach on you from your fursuit. The worst thing is to not know your BG level while doing something physical. Btw, jelly beans aren’t as fabulous a treat while having a low blood sugar as smarties.
I made a Soda Roo character named Wild Cherry
I would be exactly what I am now, an otter who turns into a flying reindeer at the sight of snow.
Foxes are my favourite, but they’re super common, so I reckon I’d like to be a bat! 🦇
YES
Actually, doing art commissions at a certain can get you a fursuit at 13, depending on how many people buy it and how much you price the commissions.
I would definitely go with a Harris hawk. Beautiful and majestic birds of prey. But, also used to have 3 of them as pets. They were strong, but gentle towards me and my brother's so it'll always be a soft spot for me
for a Q&A: I'm going to my first furry con in May! I'm so excited, and I've dreamed of this for years! Here's the issue: I don't have any friends in the fandom. How do you meet people online and/or at cons? Do you just go and message people? Navigating furry spaces online can be quite intimidating!
Hey Pocari!!!! I have a small question... What are those metal thingies on the back of your paws? I can sort of see them in the videos but I can get a good look.
I'd defiantly be a dragon. I'm welsh, so my love for them is very reasonable haha. Breathing fire would be cool too. Never going to get too cold :D
I have a question! I've got a Sona, however,, she's a dragon. I'd love to make a head for her, but since she's a dragon, i'm really worried on how the heck i would have the skin on the head. Im not saying its easy to fur a head, but sewing sheets of fur is much easier to do and hide seams. If by some god sent fabric, if there was a 'reptile skin' fabric, 1.) Wouldnt it be near impossible to fur (uh, skin?) A head with that kind of fabric as you would see every single seam, and 2.) Fursuit heads are hOT as it is, wouldn't a 'skin' like head be even hotter? I guess its just a little disheartening to think i can never make myself a head without resorting to a really shaved down fur like most other dragon suiters do. I'm curious as to what anyone else thinks about this.
I can't look away from the screen whenever I watch a furry RUclips video, Pocari I can feel you staring deeply into my soul O_o
For the daniel in the last question, maybe carry a sugary beverage? or maybe something like a camelback with sugarwater or etc, idk what a person with your condition may need, but a medical bracelet could be a prudent idea if you are suiting alone. not sure how risky it may be for ya, you might want a handler for atleast the first couple dozen times. a good friend might be good :)
This video is amazing.
Thank you so much for making videos!
These make my day
Ah gee! You answered almost all my questions! Thanks this helped me about thinking of getting a fur suit!
In a zootopia like world I would be my fursona, Beryllium the shape shifter. The music was also great! (To answer the question at the end of the video) I love all your videos and I look forward to the next one.
#QnA
Hey Pocari, I have 2 questions
1. what other fandom communities are you in? As you can see I am a my Little pony fan.
2. About how much money do you think it might cost to make a partial fursuit?
I always find it interesting to hear that people would choose Canada over the US. Many people believe that the US is super unsafe, and while it is true that some parts are unsafe, there are also lots of unsafe places in Canada too. The problem is that Canada's population is so small (I think it's around 36 million now?) that any major events barely ever make international news haha. I have lived in Canada my whole life, but I'm dying to get down to the states! It's far too cold here for me, and I find that there are just so many more opportunities down in the US to make a good living. But that's just my opinion on things, hopefully soon I can live somewhere on the ocean where I won't freeze like an ice cube everyday!
I'd be my own species, half Red Panda, half Snail, I call them "Red Snandas" :D
Bored Amami That sounds like a really cool species
If furries were real I’d be a maned wolf, it’s a wolf with long legs that look like a deer’s but the pattern looks like a red fox. They are also the species of my main fursona
The first one about the magnets. They should get super magnets in their tails so they can walk near a old style computer and wipe the hard-drive
QNA: what are ur whiskers made of?
Amazing video as always, Pocari! (I know this isn't exactly recent, but I'm rewatching some videos while I wait for new ones because why not) If I could be any species, I'd either be a wolf, a night stalker (one of my original species), saber/ lynx, or a crow. I know it's alot, but all of my fursonas are those species and I would obviously love to be my own fursona
Anyway, love the video. Keep up the amazing work :)
9:19 i would be a Alladon if my (not actual)parents would enough tax to pay for me and the species adoption
Hey Pocari!!! So, answering your question about which animal I would be and why, I would most likely be a deer, gazelle, ram, or mountain goat, as I wish I could be fast and fit like them, and I live in an area by the rocky mountains, so I would fit in... also, I'm really jumpy! xD lol Love the videos!!!
#QNA
What do think of the possibility of having water flixible cooling pipes In a fursuit, and especially head. How big is the back of the head because I can imagine a small water pump may fit, having a mesh of pipes or even just a few cooling pads that run constantly would be awesome, I don't know how you would vent the hot air though, would this be possible?
Hello from Sydney
-also, I have a 3d printer (cr10s) do you think you could print a fursuit head base
I think the pipes would wear out and burst pretty easily, then the fursuit head would be ruined forever.
