but the additional processing power and display capabilities changed everything. and with the internet comes...

furries. somehow - probably through sonic-related things - i wound up on an artist's page on VCL. funneling out from there, i was equal parts confused, enthralled, and validated by so much of what i saw. i knew you could call yourself whatever you wanted online, but you can be whatever you want too? this is where some pretty serious gears started turning. "what animal do i want to be?" leads to "what animal am i?", and inevitably: "what am i?"

i'm a nekomimi - no, a fox - wait, am i gay? - no, ok, a badger skunk thing. and he doesn't have any bits, that sounds quirky and weird. actually, - wait, what's... "nonbinary"? that doesn't make any sense, you can't just... but wait, you can be whatever you want. you are whatever you want. suddenly so much of everything i have ever experienced makes so much sense. the past doesn't seem so "wrong" any more. all of me was there this whole time - i just needed to hold it, and tell it that everything it is is just fine. i can be nothing, and everything, and most importantly, a barnyard queer. over 20 years have passed in this paragraph. it is 2023.
