The Furry Tag -- Aarin Style

What is the name of your fursona? 

Misty Aarin

Where did the name of your fursona come from?
It's a combination name to my pseudonym for writing. "Mari" Misty because it starts with "M" and because I am quite fond of a film from my childhood-- The Apple Dumpling Gang. The character she's based on, Misty, who takes in the children and main characters after they were sent to her town. I always loved that character and thus, named my fursona after her. In the case of Aarin, it was was simply "Aari" so it would look like M. Aari. But I thought adding an "n" would give it an unique sound to it and it combined part of my real name to it.

What species is your fursona and why did you choose that species?
Gryphon. Simply because the meaning of my nickname "Ari"-- "lion" in Hebrew and "eagle" in Scandavian.



What color is your fursona and why? Hair/fur/eyes/etc
Hair: Mahogany
Fur: golden brown
Feathers: Brown
Eyes: violet and gold

What is your fursona's personality and how does this compare to your RL personality? She is brave, compassionate, an old soul, and always sticking out for the underdog. She wants to use the powers she's been given to heal, soothe and bring everyone to find the brave and compassionate side of them as well. She is married to a (Shape)Shifter  dragon who, with the help of his shapeshifting abilities helped concieve a dragonic gryphon child whom they named Recovery Cahira (which means recovery warrior) in honour of the time her parents had to persevere through her pregnancy with Ree... The backstory and characteristics of Misty (and Ree as well) were based around my life story and personality.

What is one item your fursona owns that is significant to you in RL?
Bow and arrows, courage shield pendent, panpipe, Scottish tin whistle, ocarina, violin, a magical pen that channels all her powers of music and creativity to create peace, healing and bring worlds of fiction to existence, and a side pouch that she holds those things and her medical equipment in

What is one thing you think you would say to your fursona if you could meet?
"I love your eyes and your wings, can ye take me for a flight?"

What is one thing your fursona would say to you if you could meet?
She'd be half-modest about it, tell a bit too much about her powers within her eyes. Then she'd blush and chuckle, embarrassedly and ramble; "Oh these? yeah they're what manifest my powers heh heh heh....and sure... no problem there, let's have fun in the clouds."

How has your fursona changed over the years?
My first time becoming a furry was a sham. I didn't know what the hell I was doing, she started out as an orindary calico cat who simply loved the idea of creating stories and art... I still have that one as a separate fursona, but that one once was simply a highly emotional human girl who was sorta my emotional and evil (more impulsive that is, but I thought it was evil at the time) based side... turned her into a cat then a caticorn, but when I chose my gryphon, she was based on the idea of my halflings from Scarlet Redemption and Forgiver's Vow... and my love for gryphons-- not to mention on my own nickname, Ari... but it took so long to flesh her out before creating her and I've only had this particular fursona for about 1 to 2  years.... haha!


How long have you had this fursona?
As I said above, 1 to 2 years. The idea came in 2014 or 2015 but, the character herself was made in 2016 or 2017.

Would you like to be more like your fursona?
Yup, because I really don't feel as courageous or compassionate as she is....

Post-Birthday Blogging Challenge: Day 5 - My Proudest Moment[s]

I apologize for the late update, but I will continue this challenge, even if it is for the most part late... It doesn't have to be always on time...

My proudest moment in life in general...

The day I hit my one-year mark from cutting on August 31, 2016 was the first time I went an entire year without it. It was an amazing feeling having that freedom from a chain I designed for myself. I had never thought that I'd make it to this point, this was the chain. Not the self-harming itself... So having accomplished that was amazing, it set me free from the low expectations of my own mental ability. But the truly proudest moment in my life wasn't simply that... 

But picking back up my recovery after relapsing 7 months later.... Although, I was ashamed I didn't give up on my recovery.... So truly? I am proud of the up and even the downs of my recovery. The fight never being over is what defines who I am. I am a recovery warrior and proud of that.

The proudest moment in my writing...

When I completed the first poetry compilation on April 19, 2018. I felt like I accomplished something great. Having written poetry about the story of my recovery, and how I believe that my faith and persevering will end in light and joy.

Christianity was a big part of my recovery and gave me a reason to press on in a world that hated me. But the most important part of the compilation to me was how each and every colour in it is expressed with a beautiful meaning.

Soon I hope to illustrate for it as I have with the cover. But being able to complete the first draft not only was the proudest moment in my writing but it was also the inspiration to make it the most beautiful artistic book that people will look at as an expression of hope, joy and love. I want to edit and revise it and then publish it with my art to unveil it to a broken and dark world.... That will be my proudest moment once I complete that...

Post-Birthday Blogging Challenge: Day 3 - Favourite Quote(s) [and why...]

Christians misrepresent God so much that we don't know who He is anymore. For the same God who created the heavens and the earth is also the One who gave His life in the most humiliating and painful way possible. And the same God who showed compassion for the repentant sinner is also the one who turned over the tables of the unrepentant sinners. This is why I love this quote. It paints the beauty of a righteous God and also the merciful God... He is not tamed. But He is good.

As Picasso once said; "Ah, good taste! What a dreadful thing! Taste is the enemy of creativeness." And as a Christian I've always known God was the Creator of Creativity. He is the ultimate up-cycler. And He's remade me more times than I give Him credit for., regrettably. This expressed the reason I love my God. For;  l'amour de dieu est folie (the love of God is folly). His ways aren't my ways. His ways aren't man's ways. And I'm glad for that.

In 2014, I listened to Brian Hardin's dailyaudiobible. And was going through a very difficult in my life. Each day of doing so, I'd get the message that I needed that today, almost every day. And this quote was no exception. I typed it down to remember and it stuck with me ever since. It has helped me through my recovery and that is the reason I love it.

Post-Birthday Blogging Challenge: Day 1 - Your [Main] Blog's Name

So for my post-birthday, I am taking up a 30-day blogging challenge here as a way for y'all to get to know the authoress/cosplayer behind the screen!

spartanbugsaint

Well, I have spoken of the story/inside joke with some people before, but I go to a church called All Saints Church Spartanburg. And we were doing our annual meeting to plan for the New Years of 2014. Brian Hardin of dailyaudiobible had visited and preached as a guest pastor and then the service was over and we did our meeting to plan for 2014.... The meeting had a slideshow up there and there was a huge typo. Spartanbug instead Spartanburg. And it stuck with me sooo I used it as my blog url and many of my usernames online.

The Peculiar Tales of a Ragamuffin Warrior Princess

1) The Peculiar Tales of...

pe·cu·liar

pəˈkyo͞olyər/

adjective

strange or odd; unusual.

I penned this idea as a teenager when I started sharing my writings on homeschoolblogger.com. And when I was trying to find alternate ways to express my zany quirks without resorting to the word "insane". I really loved being different and "weird" just didn't sound unique enough to describe my stories and life. So, I  settled on peculiar.

tale

tāl/

noun

plural noun: tales

a fictitious or true narrative or story, especially one that is imaginatively recounted.

I also wanted to make tales the focal point. Whether it was my fictional scriptings or my life experiences, or things I watched/read/etc. The blog kicked off and doubled as a way to log my life and hobbies but also a place to share my poems or stories and media reviews. 

2) Ragamuffin

rag·a·muf·fin

ˈraɡəˌməfən/

noun

 1) a ragged, disreputable person; tatterdemalion. 2) a child in ragged, ill-fitting, dirty clothes.

So, in the past four to five years, I have based my faith on the book, The Ragamuffin Gospel by Brennan Manning's assessment of what faith in Christ truly means. What's very common in churches these days is that either somehow God owes us the good things he has given us or that we must somehow earn grace.

Of course, neither of these are true for as said in the book “My deepest awareness of myself is that I am deeply loved by Jesus Christ and I have done nothing to earn it or deserve it.” and “Through no merit of ours, but by His mercy, we have been restored to a right relationship with God through the life, death, and resurrection of His beloved Son. This is the Good News, the gospel of grace.” 

3) Warrior

war·ri·or

ˈwôrēər/

noun

(especially in former times) a brave or experienced soldier or fighter.

Through therapy and faith, I have always been a warrior. Claiming that as a part of my nature has helped guide me in my recovery from many a thing. And so, of course in this double-meaninged term, I claimed this identity with pride.

4) Princess

prin·cess

ˈprinsəs,ˈprinˌses

noun

• the daughter of a monarch.
• a close female relative of a monarch, especially a son's daughter.
• the wife or widow of a prince.

This speaks for itself. God is the King of the universe and I am His daughter. But also part of the Body/Bride of Christ. And Christ is the Prince of Peace :)

Barely 3 years into her life, she was kidnapped from her parents and put into slavery in the hotspot of slavery, the city of Horrai. As she worked in the workhouse through the years, she caught the eyes of the overlord of the city, Sorion who took her to his house to be his own personal household slave at the age of 10. There, she was made to clean and pleasure him sexually and as a nursemaid for his children and maid of his household.

As she grew older she learned she wanted more to life, and traded her future first born daughter to him to find her freedom as long as she spied on the Guardians of the Oraeda Citadel and to report to Sorion. She was 17 by this time. Having earned his full trust, Kaitra was able to gain her freedom. She spied on the guardians for a year, when she was convinced and converted to their side. There she found refuge with King Oronim. And was apprenticed by Jedro Gael, the librarian warrior and his sister, Mystery the healer who also were liberated halflings. In her time there, she befriended them and their friend, Willai MacNell a pemma. Which wasn't taken well by Lord Sorion. He marched to reclaim his own, but Oronim wouldn't hear of it. Thus, a battle would commence for her life.

Bio:  A little-known fact about gryphons is that they have secret powers that become manifest after growing up to the age of 90 (which would be the equivalent of 9 years old for humans). Once they manifest, They are born with silver eyes that once their powers manifest, they change to a colour, representing the powers they shall gain. And usually they get only one.

Misty, however was different. Born in the Early 13th Century Scotland, where her mother and father happily raised her. One day, only one silver eye changed, and that was violet. Representing her healing and creating bardic and script powers. Her other powers didn't come but for  20 years, after a great family tragedy...

That day, her father and mother were found and slain by the knights of the region. When she sought them and found their bodies, her rage rose high, and her current powers went haywire, creating an all-new, never before gained gryphon power-- time travel. In her shock and pain, she shut her eyes and opened them in the 1720s in the New World. (Talk about culture shock, eh?)

In that family, she gained a new view of the world with them. They homeschooled her most of her life. And as she coped with PTSD from her previous family, she learned to skateboard with the help of her adoptive older sister Joan. And learned archery with her mother, Sue.

Once she grew up and music became a big deal for the family, she began to want to do what they were doing. So as their music gigs started kicking off, as the age of 17, Penni formed a symphonic metalcore band with Sally, Joan and their father, a wallaby named Flynn Smith and his mate, Kyle Koala. They called it Beacons of Truth. By the age of 20, they were a hit. Playing mostly in churches, homeschool groups, and even public schools.
