What about Bren?
Posted a year agoWhen I joined the furry community about 22 years ago, I created Bren to be my fursona. For all intents and purposes, he was me...as a cougar...and a Jedi...with a briefcase full of TF triggers, but still me! =>.>=;
Then shortly afterward, he got genderflipped and became Brenda. He then attained the ability to shift between male and female (himself and Brenda).
And that's been the arrangement for all these long, fruitful years: Bren represented my male/masculine side, while his female form, Brenda, represented my more feminine side. Hence why I've considered myself genderfluid all this time.
But as the years went by, I found myself becoming more comfortable being Brenda than Bren. Like, I started identifying myself more as her. So SHE became the default form (this was probably obvious if you've been following my gallery). Then last year I had my trans epiphany, started HRT, and began my transition. But it wasn't until the past month or so that I started to realize that Bren (that is, my fursona's male form) no longer represents me. At least, not as much as Brenda (my fursona's female form) does now. Especially since my RL self is starting to resemble Brenda more than Bren.
Anyway, this is all just some context of where I'm coming from when I say this:
I am officially "retiring" Bren, the male form of my fursona.
(If you've been following me on Twitter, this shouldn't really come as a surprise.)
Now, he'll still live on, in a sense. Just as Brenda more permanently. And she's still the silly Jedi with the TF-themed briefcase. And TECHNICALLY, she still has the ability to gendershift, but right now, she doesn't really see the need, or the point, to do so. Especially when I've felt less of a need to show my male self (well, even less so than before).
Of course, it may seem like not much will change (especially if you've been following my gallery the last few years). But even so, I kinda felt I needed to close that particular chapter of my/Brenda's life. ^^;;;

Anthrocon MemePrrf. =O.O=
Posted 7 years agoI suppose I should do one of these. =>.>=;;
Where are you staying?
Westin
What day are you getting there?
Thursday, hopefully before registration closes.
How are you traveling?
Driving aaalll the way from St. Louis. =O.O=
I've actually done this the last few years. It's not THAT bad. ^^;;
Who will you be rooming with?
Xilimyth
How is the best way to find you?
I'll be the guy in the cougar shirt that's covered with Prrfler badges.
Are there any panels you might be attending?
I probably won't figure that out until I'm actually at the con.
What do you look like?
6' tall, short-ish brown hair ("The Bren Cut"), glasses. Likely being dragged around by the tail by an ebil, excited dracocheetah.
Will you be suiting?
I...DO have an actual fursuit now. Both Bren AND Brenda versions. Prrrf! =O.O=
Do you do free art?
I WOULD respond with "do you like squiggly stick figures?", but I just KNOW someone would actually go for that. =>.>=;
Do you do trades?
See above. =<.<=
What is your gender?
Male. Physically, anyway. ^^;
How tall are you?
6 feet
Can I talk to you?
Meep! *shyly hides behind Xili's wings* =O.O=
Shy, bashful, introverted Prrfler is shy, bashful, and introverted. ^^;;
Can I touch you?
See above. =O.O=
How can I find you?
.....didn't I already answer this? =O.o=
Can I buy you drinks?
It...depends on the drink. =>.>=;;
Can I give you stuff?
*Prrrfs in curiosity?* =o.o=
Can I hug or snuggle with you?
Prrrf! =O.O=
Uh, at least ask first? ^^;;;
Are you nice?
I...try to be. ^^;;
Will you be going to parties?
Depends. Am I actually invited? =O.O=
If I see you, how should I get your attention?
Try prrfling at me. =>.>=;;
....I should be careful saying that, shouldn't I? =<.<=;
Can I come with you for food/fun/etc?
Prf, if it's okay with anyone else I'm with. ^^;
Can I look in your sketchbook?
If I haven't already dropped it off with some artist. ^^;
Can I draw in your sketchbook?
I...suppose, if you want. =o.o=;;
Can I take your picture?
Meep! Again! *hides behind Xili's wings!* =O.O=
Do you do commissions?
Will someone actually GIVE me money for squiggly stick figures? =O.O=
What's your goal(s) for the con this year?
I'm happy just prrfling around, commissioning arts, hanging out with friends 'n such. Just like every other year. ^^;
Though I probably SHOULD make it a goal to suit at LEAST once as Bren, and once as Brenda. =>.>=;;;;

Prrfin' Politics.
Posted 8 years agoSo.
I found, on my ooooooooolllld Livejournal blog, an ooooooooooolllld meme.
A....political meme. =>.>=;
In fact, you can still see it here: http://brenderlin.livejournal.com/66931.html =<.<=;;;
Anyway, I figured that, it's been 12 years. It's another Presidential election (in the U.S., anyway). Why not go over the same meme, see what my stances are now on the same issues? ^^;
Cuz I think my views kinda changed over the years. =>.>=;;
ANYWAY, on to the list! =O.O=
(Note: I'm only doing the issues that the meme covered.)
1. Abortion
What I said in 2004: "Okay in rape cases and if the mother will hurt too much. Otherwise, I don't mind early term, but the longer the mother is pregnant, the more likely I'd go for adoption first."
What I say now: *Prrrfles* Annnnd right from the gate, we get a biggie. Hoo-boy. =o.o=;;;
Okay, basically, no one has the right to tell the mother what she should do with her body. Her body, her choice.
I'm not a woman (not physically, anyway). I literally don't know what it's like to be pregnant, and I never will. So I'm basically the LAST person who should have a say in a woman's choice on the matter. So yeah, her body, her choice. PERIOD.
That's....a bit of a change, huh? =>.>=;
-
2. Death Penalty
What I said in 2004: "For the most heinous crimes, yes. But try to make sure the person's actually guilty. Mistakes HAVE been made."
What I say now: Hmmm, I'm leaning more towards no nowadays. Too many innocent people died, for starters. And I kinda think that, even for the most psychopathic killers, it'd be better to give them life imprisonment, making sure they don't harm others while still respecting their own personal right to live.
-
3. Prostitution
What I said in 2004: "Alright if practiced responsibly and won't result in adultery. So legalize, tax and regulate! ;)"
What I say now: As long as everything's clearly consensual, it should be okay. Of course, that'd probably fall under "regulate". And yeah, I'm aware of the whole sex slave and human trafficing issue. Then again, that'd fall under "clearly consensual", which falls under "regulate". Huh. Guess my position hasn't really changed, then. As for the adultery....is it still adultery if your spouse is aware but is clearly okay with it?
-
4. Alchohol
What I said in 2004: "Alright in moderation. But I ain't stopping ya."
What I say now: Pretty much the same thing, really. But if it's resulting in alchohol abuse, it's time to get help.
-
5. Marijuana
What I said in 2004: "Again, alright in moderation. Legalize, tax, and regulate!"
What I say now: Again, same thing as I said with alchohol. Especially when it's been shown that it's pretty much on par with alchohol in terms of harm 'n such.
-
6. Other Drugs
What I said in 2004: "Ehhh, depends on how 'harmful' the drug is."
What I say now: Yeah, same thing.
-
7. Gay Marriage
What I said in 2004: "Not stopping individual religions from choosing who they marry, but legally (as in "civil unions")? Hell fu--ing YEAH!"
What I say now: Holy PRRF what a difference 12 years made here. The US went from one state having marriage equality 12 years ago to now, with marriage equality in the ENTIRE country. And needless to say, I'm VERY happy at how this turned out. And holy PRRF was I ignorant about the term "civil union". Now I kinda regard that as "separate but unequal". Especially when large parts of the US don't regard civil unions and domestic partnerships as highly as actual marriage (seriously, I've seen stories of hospitals 'n such denying people in civil unions because they're not "actually married"). So now I say, why NOT let gay couples call their union marriage? Especially when it's now accepted among several large-domination churches (like the Episcopalians)? And again, I'm fine with letting individual churches decide how to handle marriage. I'm talking about in the eyes of the law/government here.
-
8. Illegal Immigrants
What I said in 2004: "Eh, got mixed feelings here. Yeah, they should've gone through the legal process, but can't help but feel that, for SOME of them, that process may be too slow/broken for them."
What I say now: I still say the same thing, more or less. But now I'm even MORE inclined to believe that the system/process is too slow and/or broken for many of these people. Especially if they're literally escaping death and had no time to go through the legal channels. At the very least, could we PLEASE stop demonizing them?!
-
9. Smoking
What I said in 2004: "Perhaps alright in moderation, and I wouldn't stop you in public, yet secondhand smoke IS harmful. Problem is, who has to leave the area, when both have the right to be there?"
What I say now: Prrrf, pretty much the same thing. And I still haven't figured out a decent answer to that question. Prrrrf, I dunno....maybe keep designated smoking areas, but use walls and ventilation systems so people with breathing problems will be okay? *shrugs*
-
10. Drunk Driving
What I said in 2004: "*blinks* Who WOULD be for drunk driving? I'm not. =o.O="
What I say now: Seriously, why was this considered controversial? Anyone driving drunk should at least have their license suspended, if not outright revoked.
-
11. Cloning
What I said in 2004: "As long as we don't wind up with The Clone Wars. ;)"
What I say now: Okay, I may have been joking then, but seriously, I'm fine with it...as long as we don't wind up with Parts: The Clonus Horror (ie, cloning people just to harvest their organs).
-
12. Racism
What I said in 2004: "Stupid in any form, sad that it's still an issue here."
What I say now: Yeeeep....still an issue. Even after 12 years. Prrrrrf... =>.>=;
Back then, at least a part of me wasn't surprised by how much racism still existed, nor how systemic. Nowadays? Holy PRRRF. The unfair treatment of minorities by the police. The defense of the Confederate Flag (or the Confederacy in general). Donald PRRFIN' Trump?! *prrfles* Yeah, long story short, as a white guy IRL, I support the Black Lives Matter movement. =>.>=;
-
13. Premarital Sex
What I said in 2004: "If the two (or more) are in love and practice it responsibly."
What I say now: Basically, if there's clear and informed consent, it should be okay. Heh, would you believe I'm a feminist as well? =<.<=;;
-
14. Religion
What I said in 2004: "As long as it's not forced on anyone. Yes, this DOES mean separation of church and state (or, at least, the gov't doesn't favor/impose one over another)."
What I say now: Pretty much the same thing. Actually, since it's close enough, lemme extend this to the whole "Religious Freedom" debacle. Basicially, what we're seeing here in the US is a rash of so-called "religious freedom" laws that are so broad that they're more "license to discrimnate" laws. And I say: PRRF. THAT. NOISE! If your business offers a product or service to the public in general, that product or service should be available to the ENTIRE public. Now, to be clear, I'm not talking about a customer acting like an asshole. That's behavior. I'm saying you shouldn't deny a customer just because they're gay, or black, or muslim, etc. And I'm not talking about private clubs or churches themselves, either, as that's private property and not TRULY serving the public. Also, don't give me that "persecution" nonsense. Putting a cake in an oven is NOT persecution. Persecution is putting a PERSON in the oven for their religious views.
-
15. Downloading Music
What I said in 2004: "If the RIAA wasn't being such an @$$ about it..."
What I say now: I understand that internet piracy can be an issue, especially for small-time musicians 'n such. At the same time, a lot of the countermeasures have been so...draconian that they've basically made things worse than the problem itself. So...I dunno. =>.>=;;
-
16. The Legal Drinking Age
What I said in 2004: "At 18, you're old enough to handle a gun, a car and a ballot, but not a can of beer? Where's the logic in that? Keep it consistant, people!"
What I say now: Sorta the same thing, more or less. But now I'm thinking it might be better to teach responsible drinking. Like, allow alchohol, but under adult supervision (to make sure the teens aren't getting hurt or something).
-
17. Porn
What I said in 2004: "If in private, involving consenting adults, and doesn't harm anyone, I suppose it's okay (in moderation ;))"
What I say now: Yeah, same thing. Though I understand that the porn industry itself can be a bit....problematic (overworked, underpaid, abused actors, etc), but that sounds more like a regulation issue. Hmm...maybe if the sex workers are allowed to unionize... =>.>= =<.<=
-
18. Suicide
What I said in 2004: "Maaaybe in THE most extreme cases, but it's not exactly the smartest solution here, to put it tactfully."
What I say now: I think now it really depends on the person and situation. In most cases, yeah, I'd try to talk the person down and try to get them therapy or something. But if the person is, say, a cancer patient or otherwise terminally ill, then I suppose they should have their "death with dignity" or a "do not resusitate" or something.
-
*prrrrfles, pantpants* =@.@=

Prrfin' Assumption Meme. =>.>=
Posted 9 years agoEh, why not? =<.<=;
I kinda need something to push the Anthrocon stuff off the front page, anyway. ^^;
(Anthrocon WAS fun 'n such, and it was nice seeing peoples again. I kinda just stopped doing post-con reports 'n such. =>.>=; )
Anyway, post in the comments an assumption you have about me, and I'll let you know whether that assumption is true. ^^;;

*peekprrfs around...finally*
Posted 9 years agoPrf, maybe I should finally mention my return from Russia and Germany. At least to knock the other journal entry off the front page. =>.>=;
I would've mentioned it sooner, but, well, I had to deal with a failed hard drive, then a minor headcold, and just an overall sense of laziness (being a kitty, ya know. ^^; ).
Anyway, some quick impressions on the trip, city by city:
Moscow - Being right next to Red Square and the Kremlin was...interesting. Lenin's tomb was...creepy (especially with the guy under glass 'n all =O.O= ). Didn't see Putin, though. I think he was in Siberia, releasing tigers.
St. Petersburg - Prrf, palaces. Palaces EVERYWHERE! =x.x=
Neat architecture, though.
Berlin - If we weren't tripping over Nazi sites, we kept running into Cold War stuff. Still a nice city. And the chocolate and the wurst was good. ^^;
Edit: Also, I DID take pictures during the trip. I just need to figure out a good place online to put them all (if the prrfler laziness doesn't take over again. =>.>=; )

In Russia, the World Prrfles Around YOU!
Posted 10 years agoPrf, just thought I'd mention that it's that time of year again. Prrfler Around the World time! =O.O=
This time my family and I will be going to Russia and Germany. =O.O=
Specifically, Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Berlin. =>.>=
It was my RL brother's idea. =<.<=
And we're calling this the CommuNazi Tour. ^^;
Anyway, we fly out tomorrow (Tuesday, the 20th) and get back June 2nd. =O.O=
I'll probably still be around-ish during this time, assuming I can get the wi-fi at the hotel(s) to work. =>.>=
Still, Prrf...ski! =O.O=
Or is that Prrfenstein? =>.>=

So...been thinking about a change lately...
Posted 10 years agoYeah, I've been thinking.
I've been a cougar for about 14 years now. I think it's time to change things up a bit here. =>.>=
So, from now on, I will NO LONGER be a cougar. =O.O=
Instead, I will be.....a catamount!
......................................what? =<.<=;;;
EDIT: In case you're not sure what a catamount is, maybe this will help: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catamount ^^;

Weasyl Backup complete! *Prrfleflops* =@.@=
Posted 10 years agoPrrf! FINALLY finished posting my stuff from here onto Weasyl. =@.@=
You can check it out at: https://www.weasyl.com/~brenderlin
And if something seems 'new' to you, it's probably because it's been hiding in the back/oldest part of my gallery here. ^^;
In fact, if you have the time, you could probably check out some of my older commissions here, anyway. =>.>=;
Hey, just because it's old doesn't mean it's BAD. Case in point. ^^;
Now, just because I've established myself on Weasyl doesn't mean I'm leaving FA. In fact, FA here is still going to be my main base of operations for the time being. =<.<=;
I just thought it'd be nice to have a backup place, just in case. ^^;

*Just...prrfles at the whole FA mess...* =o.o=
Posted 10 years agoOkay, first of all, while I have my own thoughts on the whole issue here, I am NOT touching that, nor do I want to discuss it. Let's just say I lean more towards the feminist viewpoint on this and leave it at that. =>.>=;;
That being said, I'm not leaving FA, either. I DO have an account on weasyl (as a backup/alt. gallery), and I HAVE been uploading stuff there, but I've been doing that for the last month or so, anyway. So yeah, my plans haven't changed.
You can find my Weasyl account here: https://www.weasyl.com/~brenderlin
I also have no issues with people leaving or staying. Their business, their choices.
If most of my friends 'n such outright leave and go elsewhere, THEN I'll consider it.
But for now, the Prrfler's staying put. ^^;

Prrfin' Alt./backup account
Posted 10 years agoOkay, first of all, I am NOT leaving FA. Not by a LONG shot! =>.>=
But I HAVE been meaning to set up another gallery outside of FA for a while, and, well, the recent FA outage finally pushed me into establishing one.
So! I started posted stuff onto my Weasyl account, which you can find here:
https://www.weasyl.com/profile/brenderlin
Prrf, and judging by the amount of art I've aquired, this'll take a while. =@.@=
I MIGHT start posting stuff on SoFurry, or even DA, depending on where I can find everyone. But for now, Weasyl!
Now, FA is still gonna be my MAIN account and main hangout. As in, everything I post, I'll post here first. But now I'm gonna establish a backup place, for whenever FA goes down.
Just thought I give a heads up here! ^^;

Back from MFF, despite it all. =@.@=
Posted 10 years agoHey, just thought I'd mention that I'm back home from MFF this past weekend. ^^;
Actually, I've been back since yesterday evening, but you know, kinda had to settle down and go into recovery mode 'n all. It didn't help that I BARELY avoided getting into a car wreck on I-294 on the way back yesterday. =O.O=
Basically, some guy veered into my lane, causing the car in front of me to lose control, fish-tail and wind up perpendicular to the highway. Luckily (VERY luckily), I managed to get into the left lane JUST in time to avoid the whole mess. So, yeah...prrrf! =O.O=
Enough of that, back to the good times! This con was definitely one of the more fun ones I've been to in a while. Oh, they've ALL been fun, don't get me wrong. This was just one of the MORE fun ones. ^^;
Ran into and hung out with friends. Art was gotten. Silliness was had. Adult Chocolate Milk AND Adult Strawberry Milk was consumed. It all good. ^^;
Now, time to prepare for Thanksgiving with family. =O.O=

Yep, gonna be driving up to Chicago for Midwest Furfest on Thursday (or, well, later today, technically =>.>=; ), stay at the Hyatt, spend the weekend prrfling around at the con, then drive back sometime Monday. =<.<=

Prrf! A NON-Con-related meme! =O.O=
Posted 11 years agoSo xilimyth sent me a letter, which we found amusing because of conversations we tend to have. =>.>=;
So, naturally, I just HAD to respond in kind, with similar results. =<.<=;
Dear xilimyth,
I don't really know how to tell you this, but I'm in love with your cat. I think I realized it when I finally changed my underwear at the mental hospital and I saw you sit on the elephant in the corner. I'm sure you're high enough to understand that your driving sucks. I'm returning your your balls but keeping your neighbors dog as a memory. You should also know that I will not tell the authorities that you stole the whale from the backyard and I love Oprah while the apartment building is on fire.*
Kiss my butt,

*peeeks back in* =>.>= =<.<=
Posted 11 years agoUh, hey guys. I'm back from my trip. ^^;;
Actually, I've been back for about a week or so, but I've been kinda lazy and/or distracted by work and recovery stuff to say anything. =<.<=;;
Anyway, SE Asia was fun. A bit hot, and REALLY muggy (try walking around in a city/country-wide sauna all day in full clothing =@.@=), but fun.
Not sure when I'll get around to showing pictures and/or give more details, but lemme give brief summaries at least.
Singapore: Neat city-state. Particularly liked the zoo there (they even had cougars! =O.O= ). Well, zoos, really. One was the main zoo, and there was a Night Safari one: A smaller zoo only open at night, full of nocturnal animals (like leopards and Fishing Cats ^^; ).
Cambodia: Mostly saw Angkor Wat and its sister ruins, Angkor Thom. Neat temple ruins, but I think I would've enjoyed it more if it was 10-20 degrees cooler and 50% less humidity. =@.@=
Laos: Prf, Buddhas....Buddhas everywhere! (Everywhere in Cambodia, too. =@.@= ). Also saw the Plain of Jars. It's...well...a field full of these large, ancient, stone jars. No one really knows what they were used for, either. Maybe for burial purposes, maybe for food storage, maybe an ancient macro discovered jam. Who knows?
Also went down the Mekong River. Didn't hear any choppers, or any Doors music (or Wagner).
Hong Kong: Prrf, Skyscrapers...Skyscrapers everywhere! It's like the people in the city had no room to build but UP. The city kinda made me think of it as the New York of China (while Shanghai is the Chicago of China and Bejing is...well...the DC and LA of China combined).

Time for the annual "Prrfler Around the World" trip!
Posted 11 years agoThis year, my family and I will be headed for Southeast Asia. =O.O=
More specifically, Singapore, Cambodia, Laos, and Hong Kong.
We fly out EARLY in the morning (well, early for me, at least. =@.@= )
And we won't be back until June 1st. =O.O=
I'll still be around...-ish, using hotel wi-fi 'n such. But I'm still gonna be kinda scarce. Well, more scarce than usual, anyway. =>.>=;
Just wanted to give my friends a heads up. ^^;
See everyone in June! ^^;

Ask the Prrfler!
Posted 12 years agoAlright, after seeing a bunch of others do this, I finally decided to create my own tumblr page so you guys can ask questions about either RL me or the Prrfle Twins. =>.>=
here's the page: http://jedibrenderlin.tumblr.com/
So if you have a question you've been meaning to ask, either of me or either Prrfler (Bren or Brenna), go to the link above and click on the "Ask the Prrfler" button. ^^;
Prf, hope I know what I'm doing with this? =O.O=

Estoy aqui! =@.@=
Posted 12 years agoPrf, maybe I should mention that I'm back from my family trip to Peru and Bolivia. =@.@=
Overall, I say the trip was fun. My inner cougar was certainly bouncing all over the prrfin' place when we actually got into the Andes Mountains (so pretty much from Cusco to Sacred Valley to Machu Pichu to La Paz and Lake Titicaca). =O.O=
I might do a trip summary at some point, like when I'm not feeling so sleep-deprived that I'm getting blackouts. But more likely I'll provide a link to where I dumped all the photos I took once I get a chance to do the actual dumping.
But for now *prrfleflops over heavily*WHUMP!* =x.x=
