I suppose it’s well past time for me to make an #introduction post!
My name is Velux, & it’s probably not pronounced how you think. You can call me Vel for short too!
I’ve been in the #FurryFandom since summer 2004, & can feel my hollow bones crumbling as I say that =P
I am a golden eagle gryphon with a red fox bottom half instead of feline - a mix that I call a gryphox!
In 2014, I began dating @inari, who is incredibly patient & understanding of my bullshit, & continues to be my amazing partner to this day 💙
I began on this journey in the fandom insisting I was a straight male human just having a little escapism fun… And have since found that I am none of that at all.
It took a relatively short time to show me that I am #pansexual, & I first started questioning my gender around 2016, which led to me realizing that I am #trans #nonbinary just days before 2019 ended. I took the careful route & began #HRT in October 2021. In mid to late 2022, I began to realize that some of the feelings I’ve had most of my life, & my current feelings even more blatantly, fit as #therian/ #otherkin. This was further confirmed when I experienced an awakening in February.
My #fursuit was made by fursuiting.com, & fursuit performance, thanks to my experience as a D-I college mascot, is the only directly furry skill I have to offer back to the fandom.
I work professionally in live & motion #broadcast #graphics. I love #birds & #birdwatching, & hope to grow with bird photography. I’ve unleashed the inner #pinball fiend I was as a kid & have become a bit of a fan all over again as an adult. I am learning & growing in the craft of #chainmaille jewelry, & hope to launch a side shop soon to keep me busy with #maille projects. I am very much a #Trekkie, with very few days that go by without watching an episode.
I’ve grown a lot throughout the years, and am excited to see where it takes me next!
