Bryce the #inflatable #manticore, 4m from grumpy snoot to swishy tail tuft. He's about midway between the Zenith and Protozenith in height, so inconveniently large, but not overwhelmingly so.

He started as a set of spare parts, specifically an unused design for a modernized Lionel toy, an unfinished Blazehowl, and an incomplete gargoyle.

The idea was to use him as a sacrificial test design to test manufacturer capabilities but it's hard for me not to get attached to my designs...

Bryce will be at the "Catz: A Feline Frolic" panel at #MotorCityFurryCon and at the #AnthrOhio inflatables Panel if that's approved...and might pop up in other places too, logistics permitting. So you'll be able to squish that big cat (or try to) in the not too distant future.

The current US geopolitical idiotism does not bode well for the future of inflatable creatures, though. The utahraptor or komodo dragon/megalania might be the last things to make it across the Pacific, and there's not much hope of publicly running the dinosaur with the upcoming trade mess.

I'm not sure if the necrotic object is going to chicken out like usual (but the tariffs are still up), or if the Reality Distortion Field is strong enough to result in the US cheerfully marching into a pointless war on its former allies once the winter ice clears. (Or Pacific tensions...)

Not *quite* as strong as Arnie ...

EDIT: They harass women. Have been doing it for years. Do not interact. Report when necessary. Spread the word about the "Chihuahua Brothers". Reply with pics, in and out of their fursuits, if you have them.

Who were the graymuzzles with the plushie cart at #AnthrOhio? Does anyone know how to get in touch with them? I think they have a lot of stories to tell, that should be told, asap, while they're still around! #AnthrOhio25 #AnthrOhio2025 #AO #AO25 #AO2025

So when am I gonna see some dreamwidth journal posts for #LVFC or #AnthrOhio?
I wanna hear about your times at these.

Or blogposts elsewhere. Gemini capsule. Whatever/anywhere:.. link em. As long as it’s not shortform / microblogging.
