walks into my sister’s room

10 year old me: “Hey, since you can sew, can you sew me cat ears?”

My sister: “Yeah, just don’t become a furry.”

10 year old me: “What’s a furry?”

My sister: “They’re weird people who wear animal costumes.”

10 year old me: “that’s not so bad.”

My sister: “they wear them in public, wear collars, and act like dogs.

10 year old me: “Oh…” still doesn’t see the issue because dogs are cool

goes into my room and looks up “furry” on the internet

10 year old me: “THEY LOOK FREAKING AWESOME WHAT??”

Me now: has multiple fursuits and fursonas.

Episode 2: “They’re literally just doing it!”
Episode 4: “This is so gay.”
Episode 5: “This is so gay” (pt. 2)
Episode 6: “Are they gonna do it again?”
Episode 7: “So when do they kiss?”
Episode 11: “Are they gonna kiss in the last episode?”
Episode 12: “HES LITERALLY ON HIS KNEES THIS IS SO GAY! JUST KISS ALREADY!”

After note: “It would’ve made no difference if they actually did it instead of metaphorically doing it.”

Walking in, you’re immediately hit with a wave of amazing smells. Well, that is if you’re human. However, after most humans were wiped out, most people who visit this location are furnaces. Humanoid creatures who have the heads of a furnace. Most of the population is made up of them. 

The small shop sells mostly coals, irons, coppers, charcoal, and anything else that a furnace could consume. It was made as a safe place for furnaces to eat, without politics, mentions of the war, fighting, or anything else. At first, it only sold things furnaces could consume, but then a human named Silver came along.

During the early stages of opening the shop, what looked like a furnace at first came and begged to be allowed to work there. He introduced himself as Silver, and with all his constant begging, the shop owner, Baker Furnace, had no choice but to allow him to work. The two of them grew close, and Silver quickly became Baker’s best employee. That’s when Baker found out Silver was wearing a mask. A mask made of a fallen furnace’s head. Silver was human. But because Baker had already grown close with Silver, and Silver had already gained his trust, Baker didn’t throw him out. 

Baker even started making food humans could eat, with Silver’s help, and created a small section dedicated to humans. That’s where the smells come from. The soft smell of freshly made bread, or the sweet smell of pastries. Baker loved making human food, even if he himself, as a furnace, could never smell or taste the food. It made him happy to see Silver taste it and say it was amazing. 

Eventually, the bakery became a place for furnaces and humans, the few who remained, to eat peacefully. No fighting between them. The shop was a representation of a future where humans and furnaces could get along and coexist, once the human population replenished itself, of course.

[Note from Scenecore]

I recently regained motivation to start writing furnace related stories. I stopped because I was a little nervous that my stories wouldn’t match the current furnace lore. But I realized that I could make my own furnace lore as long as it made sense. I’m gonna start posting stories from the bakery about Silver and Baker soon, this is a little introduction to it. This is not connected to any previous stories posted by anyone else, this is just my own creative work I came up with.

It’s becoming a problem. They’re all clearly marked as containing spoilers, yet I keep ignoring the tags. Why do I do this to myself?
