Introducing Rye + Important Updates
2 years ago
Heya everyone, it's been a second!
Apologies for not being nearly as present lately, I've been absolutely swamped with school and graduation upcoming which has me freaking out a bit, but also because I've been putting off writing this due to being unsure how to put it. So let's just hop right into it. You may have already noticed my new profile icon on a few places so I'll just confirm, I have a new sona! Still an opossum, couldn't get away from those lil gremlin rascals, but you'll notice he isn't a gal like Emily. I'm still struggling to fin the right words, but I've been doing a lot of soul searching lately, and I've come to the realization that I'm actually comfortable in my male body on my own terms, and ok with being referred to as a male and by my birth name again. Not that I was "wrong" or even "confused" for thinking that, or that I even regret being Emily, or however you wanna put it. Emily was an important part of my journey to being comfortable in my own body, and just so I don't start scaring a few people, EMILY THE OPOSSUM IS NOT GOING ANYWHERE. I still love her, I'll still be getting art with her, I'll still see her as a part of me. But I'm figuring out what it means to be male on my own terms, not anyone elses. With that in mind, and I know what my FA still says, lousy site doesn't allow you to change usernames, when referring to me as a person I'd like to be referred to with he/him pronouns, and with the name Rye (or my birth name, but only if you really know me). My discord and twitter usernames have already been changed, so don't be afraid to see that new face!
As for the "QueenEmily" username on here, it seems like too much work to make a second account and try and balance the two. So both Rye and Emily art will be posted here. And again, Emily is not going anywhere. I know they're both opossums and Rye is the new icon of my presence, but the two have different personalities that I'll be using for different art prompts and commissions. However, expect Rye to be more of the "central" fursona for me, as he represents my new gender identity. Thank you for understanding, and don't be afraid to DM me if your confused or have questions. Be sure to check out the ref sheet for Rye posted below:

So proud of you for getting to this new step in your journey of self-discovery! Great way of putting it; Your time with "QueenEmily" was a valuable period of discernment, and I'm glad you feel comfortable enough to come out with your new conclusion! Not that the journey stops here, but you're honing on what's the best fit for you. Very happy for you, and sweet new sona Rye you got there! I look forward to being able to call you "Rye-Guy" 🥰
And no way you're going to FWA? I had no idea thats so crazy
Thanks again
And I hope you have fun at FWA!! I wanted to go so bad this year but it was just not in the cards for us sadly.
And I wish I could see ya at FWA too! We'll have to make it work some other time
