yeah so i have... Two Of Them... which is a fairly recent development,
actually, for a long time i was one of those people who thought, like,
surely i'd ever only need one to be Me™, which was complicated also by the
therianism thing. but you know, i like having two, they do let me express
slightly different facets of myself and also let me be my own ten-inch
size difference pred/prey phantasie. i phrase that jokingly but, i dunno,
there is a fair degree of comfort to be gotten from thinking about like...
holding myself... among other things
roswell
roswell is my main guy/the one whose species matches my k*ntype. i am
entirely undecided as to whether he and sheridan (below) exist as
characters in their own right or if they're just different forms i think
about inhabiting (sometimes simultaneously) or what, but like, you know,
glad to have them either way
he's a coyote! specifically a northeastern one (despite his name), as
they're most familiar to me and i like the darker coloration.
he's naturally colored, so you know, like, mottled grey/brownish with a
white underbelly, up to his snout. and he's generally pretty floofy,
especially in the tail. he also has, like, a characteristic white patch
on his forehead, stretching up to between his ears (which are maybe a
little large in a way that is almost goofy but not quite)
5'3" and like 170ish pounds? as an anthro, anyways... and probably
usually digitigrade, at least until i take a bit to think about how hard
that is to draw and how it'd impact him wearing shoes and stuff
he is the part of me, i guess, that is like, fruitier and more emotive
and probably funnier, but also more prone to Completely Losing His Shit
in panic/rage/Bite Kill spirals. but also he loves being just like,
quiet and chilled out and receiving pets/affectionate gestures when
that's possible
sheridan
sheridan is much newer, to the point where even his name isn't totally
certain (because it bears an unfortunate resemblance to a character from a
piece of media with which i was once involved that isn't enough to make me
ditch the name entirely but which is kind of a nagging annoyance that i
hope i can forget about before long), but like. i really like antlers and
like, hooves and stuff, and mule deers turned out to be a really good fit
yeah i kind of just already said this but he's a rocky mountain mule
deer, specifically a northern morph, cause again, like, darker colored
(and therefore higher contrast!) and also because i am a yank
ALSO naturally colored because i just like, couldn't pass up on how
charismatic these guys look just without any alteration... though he did
dye his head hair (which is just like, a pattern they already have, but
a little exaggerated and longer) a soft pink, because maybe i am living
vicariously through him. otherwise, like, his fur is generally dark
brown; nearly black on his ears, brow, upper chest, and the tip of his
tail; and pale to white on his face, the underside of his neck, and
around his butt and groin and the rest of his tail. and his antlers are
well-formed but a little smaller than is conventionally attractive,
which he's insecure about
6'1" and 235 pounds, and Yes He Does Have Hooves. i am leaving it
tactically ambiguous what's going on with his hands because honestly i
haven't decided how best i like them drawn but they ARE functional. his
antlers probably make that an even seven feet but i'm also undecided on
that. either way, extremely comfy size difference achieved
sheridan is like, shy and anxious, but he's also the part of me that
manages to be strong sometimes and have some emotional resilience. and
he's very good at comforting other people.
