My first furry convention, TFF 2026 <3
I found the Artist Lounge eventually and did some doodles of how I felt at the con and some vision boarding for future dreams.
Day 1: I definitely felt anxious, I had never seen fursuits in real life and I was so afraid of being out of place. Everything was so cute and overwhelming but I stayed out of my room and engaged with a few people, met a few friends for the first time, and started to realize how lovely this whole thing was.
Day 2-3: Very quickly I grew into it, I bought a bunch of badges at the Dealer's Den to start labeling myself, "Artist" "Plush Fur" "Cuddly" "Toon" etc. I found a "PLEASE HUG ME" badge and got lots of hugs from random furs I passed. Something inside me healed that I didn't know was broken. I've never felt this comfortable and this at home before. All I want to do is love everyone <3
Day 4: The last day of the con, everything has been amazing. I actually left this drawing at the Artist Lounge once I finished it so Olly could say goodbye to everyone that passed through. It hurts a lot to leave, I definitely wish this was how life was. Being able to be Olly instead of my normal everyday self, being able to express myself openly and know everyone around me has something in common. But I am grateful that I got to go and meet so many amazing people. There's more cons on the horizon that I'm now going to and the future is limitless for where else I can go, so I just have to look forward to that. Seeing my friends again, working on my fursuit head, fully embracing myself and my identity and my bear and just becoming who I've always wanted to be.
This convention has really made me discover so much about myself that I didn't know, and it's made me so incredibly secure and confident in a lot of things. I got to be Olly for a weekend. Even if I didn't have a fursuit on, I still was him. Nothing, ever, in my life, has felt this right and fulfilling. I can't wait for the next one <3 <3 <3
The booth drawing was something I did as a sorta dream vision thing. I know I probably have fucked my own reputation enough that it can't happen, but I really would love to have a booth someday at a con. Sell some little goodies, some little plushies, and just draw for people and give people a cute little space to be comfy. I want to meet more lovely furs from all over and spread happiness. That's all I've ever wanted. To be a source of happy for people. Someday...maybe I'll be able to make it happen. Being a cub artist makes it really hard. I can only wish <3
