It’s a lie that I know what they are?

Why’s that?

Cuz they don’t even know what they are. We can only remember one… perhaps several things about ourselves in any given moment.

If you live your life according to this idea, I won’t stop you.

Thank you. It’s designed to inspire curiosity.

If everything slips your mind after a moment, how would you build on what you know? A good knowledge base is essential to drive exploration into things which you might’ve never even heard about had you remained an outsider.

Oh no you still have memories, but you can only access one to a few at any given moment. So the only thing that would know you in your entirety and be able to view your entire life, would be something like God or “The Universe” that exists inside and outside of linear time, able to view the whole of “time” at once. We just get to look back at little snapshots. So an example would be like forgetting you’re kind of a chef because you moved and didn’t have the same ingredients @ the new spot.

What I’m getting at is if we understand you don’t know what your friend is because they don’t even know, it keeps the curiosity going between yall because there’s more to know about one another.

There’s an easier way to go about this though, and that’s just saying “I don’t know everything.” One thing I do know, however, is that my friend is a furry. Their fursona is a rat.

In an era where people dawn and rid themselves of identities like clothes, claiming to know such a thing is a persistent identity is… poetic… but what is easy isn’t often what is correct. At any moment their sense of self could have shifted to be any other “fursona” or perhaps, none at all. 🧐

This is generally something that, once you accept it, you don’t really step back from. It’s like being gay: Gay people don’t stop being gay.

I know quite a few people who have gone to prison who would disagree.

Regardless of how true that is, all that matters for the purpose of the drawing anyways is that I know my friend at the present moment, not some hypothetical future where they are different.

Anything could have happened between the beginning of the drawing and the presentation reinforcing a past identity. They could identify with a cat who eats rats. Your intent behind the drawing seems genuine. I’m not throwing shade, just hoping to spark curiosity less we lose the spark in ourselves that evolves, or miss changes in one another that could have been a beautiful evolution from who they were. 💡
