"Eh, it's just a picture..."
5 years ago
That's what younger me said when I first found the picture of the naga that would be known as Solidus (and henceforth referred to as such), and would eventually become my fursona.
At the time, I didn't even know what fursona meant.
I was just some guy coming off another 'picture' of a blue-feral Dragon and wanted a new character to RP as after taking a break from the community.
So get comfy, and get ready.
Artonis made a rather devilishly handsome naga.
Taking a gander over it, I figured why not give that a go for a character to RP as.
So I did, not knowing the trap I had just set for myself later in life.
It was a blast; playing a big ol' snek and having a graaaand ol' time! Oh how popular he was and how much my writing improved, people met and fun things done.
"Woah you want to draw me? Oh, uh...sure!"
I had art of him. He was established; my only character. (Honestly I never was much on having multiple characters)
Now, fast-forwarding many years and many many many many RP/ERP sessions, scenarios, people, and what have you later:
"Wow, I'm really attached to this character....I think this really is my fursona."
*SNAP.*
But you took it. You don't own that character.
I fell into my trap that younger me set.
Full, blown, panic.
You might say to yourself:
"Bah who cares, it's whatever."
I cared. Suddenly, I realized just what I had done and felt like I didn't even own a massive part of myself.
It had always felt like the elephant in the room, but started as a minuscule thing....and over time, it grew and grew to this massive problem.
So with the help of someone close, I spoke to Artonis (whom I thought would just bite my head off; very easy-going derg' and cool guy) and told him truthfully what I'd done.
Paraphrasing here, but the naga was actually part of an art trade, for someone else....in 2005.
Thankfully, he was able to navigate me to the requestor's page on another art site.
Over the course of about three or four days, I talked to the original requester; told the truth and the whole thing.
Every single day it was like tiptoeing along a cliff. Am I going to have an asterisk next to everything I've done in my time as the naga?
The only reason anyone is reading this journal is because I was very, very lucky.
I was given the full rights to the naga with their blessings, and was now the owner of him.
That was just over a year ago.
To anyone new or experienced, young or old, here for the porn or here to make friends:
Don't do what I foolishly did.
Take the time to make a character, whether by your hand or someone you commission.
Make it yours, and breathe life into something new!
Go have fun! Do silly stuff! Do sexy stuff!
After all, it's not just a picture.
