Per our conversation, because shockingly no one has asked this, what are the Papas’ fursonas?
I've been chewing this over and I think I've decided. I'm a little iffy on a couple of choices still though.
Nihil: One of those Disney's Robin Hood style foxes. I think he could pull it off. This is a rare case where both his choice and my choice for him would align. It's attractive and has some latent fuckboy energy I can't quite put my finger on
Primo: If you explained the concept of a fursona to him he'd pick Demon or something and you'd have to then explain no, an animal, and he'd be salty. I considered goat because Satan but no way he's picking a prey animal - though I think he'd also strongly consider Fly because Satan (and again I would have to explain to him that fursonas usually don't include insects because of the ick and then he would tell me that in that case furries are weak and will not survive the coming apocalypse). I am assigning him dolphin or orca. Because of popular attractions and some media people like them and think they're benevolent but they're secretly murder machines. Also the idea of him as a humanoid cetacean in his miter and party city robe is hilarious to me
Secondo: I have seen some fan art and stuff associating him with snakes and while that's cool aesthetically to me I don't think that's what he'd go for in a fursona nor is that what I'd pick for him. I think for Himself he would choose a lion. Male lions are surrounded by Ladies (and a full head of hair). I actually think I'd assign him a wolf? Social animal but still with some bite (moreso than a doggo). Also Secondo as a wolf would make a great guest star in a Powerwolf music video
Terzo: I considered cat and I think it's what he'd choose for himself. Sleek loners with mystique who enjoy getting petted and are well loved but not universally. A little tuxedo cat. I am however assigning him raccoon. He has miscreant energy, is a bit too feral to be a cat, and I can easily see this happening to him
Cardi: Fandom has assigned him Rat and it's a good assignment and definitely what suits him. @necropolitus pitched me that if he were picking for himself, it would be a big imposing dog, like a bulldog, and I one thousand percent agree, no notes. I feel like in assigning him a fursona I am meeting in the middle. Cardi is a chihuahua. Thinks he is a big dog, will bite ankles, but also needs to be wrapped in a blanket because just being in the air is enough to make him stand there and shake.
Perpetua: again fandom has assigned him bat and it is a solid choice. I don't have anything to dispute this one with either. Like, no notes, y'all did good you can go home. Bats are just the right amount of Weird Creature but also adorable. Though I could honestly see him as a unicorn fursona as well. Pure of heart, dumb of ass, cryptid, but willing to gore anyone who doesn't adhere to his delicate sensibilities.
