That Charming BOLE

Preferences and Interests

First, let’s get this out of the way: I am a furry (yeah, I hope it’s obvious by now). Furry is my hobby — or rather — my lifestyle. I have created a few original characters (OCs), but BOLE is always gonna be my main fursona.

Speaking of being furry as a hobby,

• Roleplay? I’ve never tried roleplaying; it sounds very energy-consuming. Anyways, I’m always open to that if sufficiently motivated.
• Art? I’m no artist. I can’t draw, paint, sculpt — I’m hopeless. But I adore art and admiring their creators. *ahem* That’s why art commissioning exists.
• Fursuiting? I’m not ready. It looks likes huge investments — not only the cost of the fursuit itself, but also the maintenance and logistics. I have huge respect for those who pursue this endeavor. And do I need to mention that it’s scorching hot inside a fursuit?
• Conventions? Yes! Although I’ve been a long-time furry, I attended my first furry convention only recently. Furry conventions and events I went so far: ThaiTails 2023, FurGet 2023, Infurnity 2023, and ThaiTails 2024. I’m looking forward to attending more conventions in the future. So please say hi if you see me there!
• Doujins? Merchandises? I have a modest collection of approximately a hundred doujinshi so far, most of them furry-themed. Merchandise isn't really my thing, especially acrylic items. On a different note, I’ve helped my artist friend sell their furry stuff at events like FurSquare 2023 and Infurnity 2023.

What else?

• I love listening to music and I go to great lengths to attend concerts by my favorite musical artists. On one occasion, I even traveled to Japan once solely for the concerts. In total, I’ve made four trips to Japan where concerts were my main purpose of visit.
• Speaking of my musical palette, I’m obsessed with J-Pop, anisongs, and anime soundtracks. I can even sometimes identify the music composer of a new anime just by listening!
• Karaoke is my preferred method of practicing Japanese kana — and if you can withstand my horrible singing, I know a great Japanese karaoke spot (definitely not Man****eko).
• I’m a big nerd, literally and figuratively: science, technology, linguistics, typography, anime, games, quizzes, riddles, brain teasers, cryptic clues — you name it.
• Back in 2000s and 2010s, I used to binge a ton of anime. Nowadays, I get my weeb fix from just a couple of good shows each season.
• TV game shows are my addiction of choice. I’m a huge fan of UK quiz shows like Only Connect and The Chase! You should check them out on YouTube.
• I’m a dog person (surprise, surprise). I dream of having a fluffy poodle as my sidekick someday — no, not a toy one.
