Is there a pattern of Neurodivergent people gravitating towards non-human characters in media /self representation bc we’ve felt ostracised by other humans for our natural traits? And just feeling better represented by nonhumans for many other reasons due to our neurodivergence?

Workin on the anti-grope fibres. They’re harmless/pain free but feel bristle-like/uncomfortable to grab like rough Velcro. They do NOT break the skin even after hard smacks. Angled down so u can get hugs or bump into someone and not affect them. Installing doesn’t rip the fabric

Polar fleece is great for fursuit making! Common, cheap, forgiving, and you can hide seams well. It's a great beginner material! Many don't like the bumpy texture- BUT, Did you know you can give it a it smooth, brushed look almost like minky? Here's how I do it! 🧵
