Something something perceived identity vs realized identity something

Somewhere in an alternate universe, a creature is asking itself if it wants to become their human-sona or be friends with their human-sona.

I dunno, we'd probably get sick of eachothers shit and punch eachother or something, so the former.

I don’t have a fursona (I’m not even a furry 🙃), but if I ever had one, I think I’d be friends with it rather than be my fursona. It would be nice to have a friend that reflects a part of your personality.

I don't have a fursona and I'd rather be my fursona.

Lmao, 2 kinds of people... Well, there're be 2 more that still haven't answered yet.

I would rather be a toon than just be friend with one, but preferably I would wanna be a toon and then be friend with another one.

In other words; I wanna be my fursona.

Don't have a sona. But if I did, having fur sounds awful. Random crap would get in it all the time, and it would stink even if you bathed every day. Also the shedding...

I'd def pass on the first one.

Yes

To be honest... I'm not sure.

He's a lot of me.. but there's a lot there that isn't.

And it's that part that worries me.

2 heads are better than one.

That's a tricky one. I like being human, but being a dragon would also be cool.

Dunno if your dragonsona is toony or not, but the benefit of being a toon is that a toon's body is malleable, so getting crushed wouldn't kill them, it'd just make them flat.

I'd rather be mine all the way. Part of the reason I've never been able to fully come up with a design is because I just see my fursona as myself but a furry character. It seems that other people ascribe a different personality to theirs, though, so not actually wanting to be that makes sense.

I guess I will give my take on this. My sona has evolved throughout the years, I started as a blue jay when I was pretty young. I moved away from the furry community for a while, when I came back in a real sense I settled on being a dragon with the same name.

Now that I've actually gotten around to giving some realization to the character in the form of writing, I don't feel like he's "me" anymore. I most commonly identify as a crocodilian nowadays, but even that character is detached from me in many ways.

I would rather be friends with all my sonas, because to assume myself as any one of them almost feels selfish, like I would be taking their agency away by assuming myself to be them. I am still open to the idea of presenting myself as a dragon or a crocodilian, but I would still just be me on the inside.

I love my human body, but I like the idea of having a choice.

I honestly would be happy with both. But I would prefer to become my sona, if magical abilities would work as well. Given that I gave it limited shapeshifting abilities (from human with fluffy ears and a tail swishing behind them, up to feral and all inbetweens), I wouldn't even stick out too much while walking among humans. Well, the tail and big floppy ears would sure be out of the ordinary, but at least I wouldn't be hunted down for "research" xD And life would just be more fun in general :)
