keirFoxAll furries remember the moment the two neurons that shouldn't have connected in our head reached out and fused together anyway when we were aged somewhere between 11 and 13.
I spent so many years collecting fox stuff. So, so much fox stuff.
Zorin =^o.o^=@keirFox I remember wondering why I was crushing on so many animal cartoon characters, and why I was the ONLY one in my peer group doing so.
@zorinlynx So, I kind of wonder about this -- because I feel like I was wired for this *really* early in life. Like, I'm sure this has been a thing for me forever. I remember the day the "fox thing" hit me though and I was...11 or so.
Before then I was way more into animation than other kids but after that moment I crushed on anthropomorphic stuff quite a lot and... no one else did.
@keirFox Yeah, same here. I mean, I first saw the Heathcliff cartoon in like.. 1986 or 87, since my earliest memories of it were after a family move around then, and I remember crushing hard on Cleo. So around 9-10 years old.
Long before it would be anything beyond an innocent childhood crush. So maybe it is hardwired somehow!
@zorinlynx I don't understand it, I wish I understood it, but I'm glad I have it.
