Today's topic I want to talk about: selfies.

Today's topic I want to talk about: selfies. There are therians who will proudly shows photos of themselves while wearing some kind of gear (tail/ears) or a theta-delta necklace etc. You will never see me doing that, at all.
I mentioned before that being my wyvern character online is the closest I get to actually being one. Part of my desire isn't just to experience life as a different creature, but also to be perceived as that creature by everyone else. And that's the part I can actually accomplish thanks to the internet: By "becoming" my wyvern character online, people will inadvertently view me as one even if they rationally understand that we are all humans. They will interact with me accordingly.
If I were to show a photograph of myself, I would destroy the illusion. I would destroy people's perception of me as a wyvern because I showed them my human body. I would replace their image of me as my most authentic self with something reality forced upon me. And I can't stand that thought. -

@nytpu No worries, I use the public scope and an unlocked account so people will see my posts.

I like the thought that people imagine me as my profile picture (though that's due for a change soon)
on the other hand, my profile picture on discord has been the same picture of tim heidecker for nearly ten years now, and almost everyone who knows me only talks with me on there, so their mental image of me is just tim heidecker -

Also a good part of the reason why furcons never appealed much to me, I think
