Description HELLO I'd like to introduce you to my new fursona, Stir!

I'm still keeping Weh around as a character, but it's been three years, and I've come a long way. Weh represented my apathetic wehhhhh outlook about myself and, if I'm being honest, outlook on life. But this last year I've been working to prioritize balancing my coursework stress with fun hobbies, and following dreams of mine that go beyond getting good grades in my undergrad so I can get into a good graduate school. I've been more social beyond my group of close friends, and even though I often got so stressed before I nearly threw up before social things, I did the things. Maybe not all of the things, but a few of the things. It's not happening overnight, and there have been some really low lows, but I'm optimistic. 

As the ever wonderful baying put it, 'u were in a dormant state with weh and now u are stirring'. So that is why her name is Stir, because I'm not sure if I'm awake yet, but at least I'm stirring.

Designing Stir was such a pleasure to do, my gosh. Honestly this was such a stress free fun designing process and everything just keep accidently on purpose clicking into place. Maybe this is what designing a fursona is actually supposed to feel like???? because in the past, trying to design a character that represents me has been so frustrating until I just settled on a design that sort of worked but didn't 'click', and I think a lot of that stemmed from lots of self-doubt. I'm really happy and content with the result. I tried to tie in a little of who I was, who I am, and who I want to be as a person, because I think those all culminate into the person I am right now and who I will be heading forward.

also sorry about the watermark but I wanted to be safe!
on that note, Stir belongs to me and will never be for sale/trade. If you see Stir being sold/traded by someone, it is fraudlent and please report them to me.

ohh man I can relate to that description so much! designing my previous characters always felt so burdensome, like I was somehow getting it wrong, and I hated the feeling of not having that mascot character, yknow? But then Orkney came about, and ever since I've felt like he's completed a part of me that was missing. It sounds stupid, but these characters can feel like such cornerstones!

oh gosh yes!! that is all so accurate! it seems so weird that a pixel dog somehow fills a hole but i just feel so much happier and wholesome after finishing her design. Orkney is such a lovely design by the way. I didn't remember what his reference looked like so I had to go oggle at his design!
