    When I was 13 and in middle school there was a girl I knew that got a FULL digi suit. She wore it for Halloween, and while that was super cool I realize now that she must've grown out of that QUICK. I feel bad tbh.
    I'm very lucky to have stopped growing at 15 (I'm short forever rip), and I'm lucky to have a job where I'll save enough money so I can commission a suit in the spring! By that time I'll be almost an adult (17), so I think that'll be fine for at least me ^^ but still, everything you said stands! Patience is key, kids!

    I’m a younger furry and I would love to commission someone someday for a mini partial, but it’s still so expensive 0-0… I made a fursuit head and paws for halloween and it was pretty fun! I couldn’t sew anything so I hot glued fabric to my foam base, but it turned out ok for my first time. For any parents reading my comment, just getting some half inch foam, various fabrics, and a hot glue gun to make a head is a good start :) it’s not extremely expensive and your kid can get crafty

    hey! I'm a 17-year-old, and I've been in the fandom since I was 12, and I just wanted to quickly talk about my experience as a younger fur. my dad was incredibly supportive on top of taking me to conventions and encouraging my creativity he also bought me a fursuit at 14! after seeing how much I saw begging for a suit and after I did enough chores to at least cover half, he let me go on fur buy, and I picked out a pre-owned suit for 300$. this was a birthday gift and I love them to this day. (and yes I did do a big refurb on them a couple months ago lol.) I never out-grew the suit and it actually fits me better now. not saying every parent can or should do this but this was an awesome gift from my dad. and now that I'm older I'm a fursuit maker and plan to go into film and TV production and costumes!

"they go around in summer in fullbody animal costumes, roleplaying. they take it too seriously." which honestly, is a pretty good description (WHY IN JULY?), but it was a bit passive aggressive- as a person who took roleplaying too seriously, loved dressing up as an animal and was an introvert, i immediately fell in love-

    Hey! I love the paper mask super cute, another slightly higher quality idea is like what I did for my niece a few years back, you can find patterns for "3D paper craft masks" Wintercroft being the big seller, for roughly $10 you get a pattern you can print on your own and then use stronger either cardstock or cardboard (old cereal boxes are perfect) and you can actually make a really cool mask that you can paint like their fursona!

    As somebody who actually puts a maximum amount of effort into anything, i can assure you that if you don’t want a fursuit (meaning don’t want the expensive crap) then a mask is definitely the way to go. Even so, making a mask that goes on the front of your face and simply carving the muzzle and ears and such out of foam, this can be applied to the mask and can be made into a mini fursuit head! i definitely think it’s a really cute way to introduce yourself to the fandom, and it stands as baby steps to making and or purchasing a real one.

    3. Where would I even use it?? I'm too socially awkward to go to conventions or even just wear a suit in public

    I fully agree that children should not buy/commission fullsuits. But if you really want to (and, of course, money is not an issue) you could try making your own. I am 12 (13 in a month) and i have been a furry for almost a year now. I bought a fully furred dinomask off of etsy, since i most likely will not outgrow it (it was made by an adult), but i also wanted to have a fullsuit. So i saved up some money, bought some fur and a fullsuit pattern to match the dinomask (it was around $150-200 in total for all of the fabric), and made it. I wont outgrow it for a while though, because i have naturally short genetics (and the pattern was for a womens size medium, so its a little loose).
    Anyway. If you read this, thank you for reading my yap session

    • @legallyrequired
      @legallyrequired 2 місяці тому

      Something to keep in mind is your body mass along with your height! Try to make or commission your fullsuit to have some stretch to it, and room for your body to grow. I’m also the same height as I was when I was 12, but my body itself has grown in terms of muscle and distribution, which is completely natural as you progress through life and puberty. I wish you the best of luck in your creations!! ❤️❤️

    When making paper fursuits like that one you should put tape on the other side to make sure mold doesn’t grow on it. Also, don’t make full 3d paper masks because mold grows really easy in those and isn’t a good idea. Happy fursuiting 😀

    Some more things you can do
    Since Dino masks are adjustable, you can add foam and then it into a base.
    If you really want a fursuit, make one of your fursona out of cardboard! Recommended doing protogens as a “test” to make sure the cardboard you’re using is useable
    Make ones like paper dragons but bigger so you can wear it as a mask and having a moving jaw.

    I’ve been 5’2 since I was 12. I’m 21 now, and while I am the same height my body shape has changed a lot! It took me a long time to understand that body mass changes are natural once you progress past puberty. You’re going to gain muscle and have your fat distribute differently when you grow into adulthood. Especially if you are transgender and hope to one day start HRT, or have plans to start it soon. This is not at all a bad thing, fat is not a scary word. It’s a part of growing up, and it happens to everyone!

    Also when getting commissions done it's important that you do a bit of research into the person that's doing the commission cause it's easy for them to draw or show you what it might look like versus the final product and you wan to have really good communication with the creator for updates on the design if they can't do that then its not a good idea to have them make you something cause you don't know what your getting back.

    As a younger furry, if you really want a fursuit really badly- get a partial!
    Just get the head, paws, feet, and tail!
    Get a normal sized adult head
    1. because you’ll grow into it 2. your hair might be enough space if your hair is long or poofy 3. child (12 or up) heads are usually big enough anyways 4. even if its a bit loose, it still works well and wont fall off as long as you tighten with belts and zipties!
    Get paws that fit your hands!
    Your hands do grow- yes, but they are very easy to buy more since they aren’t extremely expensive like fursuit heads, and easy to commission for minors anyways! Hands don’t grow as much as the rest of your body, so you have a while!
    Same for feet!
    Unless you grow a foot each year or something (😂) , buying tails is no issue. Even if you do grow and the tail isnt as big as you’d like, you can commission more since they are easy to commission- and if you cant, small tails are adorable too and nobody will notice the difference!

    You can also tell your child to save up their allowance money(if you give them money) and make their own using their money and your child will learn great skills Sewing how to make good financial decisions, and what not to do when you burn yourself with a hot glue, gun, and they’ll learn patience
    Fursuit making can also be dangerous if you are using a sewing machine and you do not know how to use one and if you do hand sewing, you can accidentally stab yourself to, or lose the needle and if you burn yourself with a hot glue gun
    But I would recommend making a mini partial, witches head tail hand, paws, and wings of the character has them(but that’s what I consider a mini partial it may vary on which furry you ask)

    Hi, my name is Vivy. I'm in the sixth grade, and like you, I had to take the diagnostic.
    The results of the diagnostic decides what lessons you get. The diagnostic shows what you know, and what you need to work on. I remember the last diagnostic I took, it was hard.The diagnostic will feel challenging, you may see questions you don't know how to answer because you haven't learned them.There were some questions I knew and some questions I didn't know, but I didn't give up. I tried my best and moved on. When I finished I got lessons that were right for me. The diagnostic is not a typical test. Not all students will see the same questions, every student should get around half the questions correct, that's okay!Some of my friends rushed and got lessons that weren't right for them, they asked me what I did. Here are five things I shared with them
    I didn't give up.
    Some of the questions may seem tricky but I made sure to read the whole question.
    Some of the questions I didn't know the answer too after thinking hard and working the problem on a piece of paper. I took my best guess.
    Before I hit the done button, I checked my answer to make sure it was right. I changed a few of my answers the way
    I took my time, once I finished really fast but then got lessons that weren't right for me.
    Warning some students guess without reading the choices, if you do this you may get lessons that are too easy for you and will be a waste of your time, you may even have to take it again. You might wanna give up or rush, don't. If you try your best you might get the right lessons for you.

Even if you don't you can do some small tweaks to it and make it look amazing. Like with mine I combed the fur to make it look nice cause it was kinda all over the place.
