"To remove borders and barriers" that also applies to our show it is Sunday, it is time for Querformat!
Always different, always wild, always with Seraphina today she's not going to become a fury,
but a furry this year there were about 1300 attendees in Magdeburg at a furry meeting everywhere in the
city life-sized stuffed toys and Seraphina in the middle
I am at the Eurofurence in Magdeburg, the biggest European furry event
in all of them there are people inside, actually a dream! I even got a kiss
Why they do it? We're going to find it out in Querformat! But for now lets cuddle!
Have a look at what those wonderful creatures are able to do there's one who can wiggle it's ears, eyes are glowing, the jaw can open
can you also do something? no? awww, let's hug instead!
Well I think you can only take part in talking about furries if you tried to wear one please let me pass you cuddly creatures!
We are backstage at the Eurofurence because I'm about to try a coyote fur suit but I wont suit up in front of the public audience
Why is that so, Liam? Well true, we try to maintain the illusion if you see a horse or wolf
then it would look weird if they suddenly take their head off especially if you are interacting with kids
Wow it's crazy, as soon as you put on the head your vision gets limited
I can see the camera and a little to both sides, but I can't see what's down in front of me
well I think I look nice! so let's have a look how people will react Liam, this is the "suit walk", right? why you do this?
well you can get out in your fur suit and meet people who haven't been at Eurofurence as guests already
and you get to see how people will react
Do I have to consider about any rules, maybe if I want to hug someone?
Just open your arms to signal you are ready for a hug, this works in both ways
And if you are sweaty after suiting you can cool off in front of the many fans in the fur suit lounge!
Liam why you do all of this? For some people it is just to get into a role, to joke around or slip into another existence
For most of us it is about enjoying the fun and I think the people outside having fun too
Does all of this has something to do with childhood and stuffed toys as well?
Is it like an old dream to be a real life-sized plushy? it could be for some more than just one reason, what's yours?
I'm here because I enjoy it to be whoever I want to be and to joke around and have fun
These costumes are all handmade, you don't get them in a hardware store or costume shop?
No these suits aren't like common goods you can produce for cheap money in china. These are all handcrafted
How much is one suit? They start around a few hundred Euros and can go up to thousands of Euros like in many other hobbies! There is no upper limit!
Extreme cuddling! I got to take advantage of it :) Well you don't know how I really look like I'm sure as cute, just without fur!
I'm slipping out of my coyote fur suit,
which got like 50 degrees on the inside and I think I swallowed hundreds of fluff.
It was a lot of fun we suited up, walked through Magdeburg and you get hugged by people everywhere cause you look
so cuddly as furry if you are interested now then maybe visit a furry convention, get hugs for free
