Black Cat from Hungary

[Vuurniac Squarewave]

Hey all, furs and furettes (if that's a word)!

This is the first time I'm actually trying to do something "bigger" about sticking with this fandom so please excuse me if I don't know all the jargon and whatever else

I'm Vuurniac from Hungary! A black cat with a little bit of a black heart. That is because I have some pretty unpopular views but that's not going to mess things up too much if I can help it. Now you might be asking how the hell do you even pronounce that name? Pretty simple, if you have seen phonetic transcriptions before (if not then the text-to-speech function of google translate should do), the "vuur" part (which comes from Dutch and means "fire") would be written as "vy:r".
I don't think I need to explaim the -niac part

The surname comes from my biggest hobby, which is a peculiar type of music called "chiptune". This is not strictly a genre, but rather a weird choice of instruments: The music is made using the sound chips of old computers and video game consoles. I have learned music through these because video games and their music tracks were there with me when I had basically zero friends. The challenge imposed by the limitations is something I love tackling. This has eventually led me to pursue programming as a hobby (even though I'm more of a humanities person in general) so now I am developing my own furtastic little game for the Nintendo Entertainment System.

A little bit about the cat...
Vuurniac is a strange case... sadly I can not truly show him to you because unlike with music (as mentioned above), I am terribly sucky with all the kinds of visual art there is. Basically he's a black cat dude. I decided to go with this because cats... they aren't kept around for the reasons livestock is, or dogs are... se they are just kinda there doing their own things. I as a gay dude feel like I am not too far off from this considering me not contributing to the persistence of the human species. His fur is black because black cats used to be (and in some places still are) heavily discriminated against and hunted because of superstition and fear. This seems to be fitting quite well too
His special ability, which is more like a curse, is that whenever he feels intense negative emotions his body bursts into a flame. It doesn't hurt him in the least, but makes it very difficult for others to even just touch him unless he can control his fears. One time he got so angry about this that he tried putting the flames out by jumping in a lake, but bubbles started coming up and he didn't want to cook the poor fish in there, so that was considered as a pretty bad attempt...

So as not to make this even lengthier, I'm going to call it a day and let you guys tell me whatever you feel like you need to tell me It's 4 AM here (haha Americans I'm writing to you from da future!) so I better go!

Hey there! Welcome to the forum! I am very fortunate to have actually spent over a month in Budapest and would absolutely love to visit that city again. I will admit I was hopeless when it came to trying to learn Hungarian, but I at least remember szia!


Enjoy your time here, and I hope to see you around

Hello Vuurniac
Welcome to the forums!


I read your whole introduction, and I must say, it is very nice to read. You mentioned things about yourself and about your character. Really awesome ^-^


But yeah, glad you joined and hope to see you around a lot!
If you have any questions, or would just like to talk, feel free to message or PM me ;D

Thank you! I do have a question though and I feel this is the best place to ask.
The only thing I can produce right now is music. Is there any way to show that off? I guess it is not that much appreciated in this fandom because it's more centered around visual art, but still.

Hello Vuurniac

Oh no, it's not only visual art. Music is also very appreciated and listened to. It's a very creative fandom, so anything from visual to audio is made ;D
Well, you could either upload it to other sites (YouTube, FurAffinity, etc.), and then start your own Music topic on these forums ;D

Hope that helped?

You can start your topic in music or still in art. Because let's be honest: music can be art

This did help, thank you to both of you! Unfortunately I'll have to wait a couple days to get home before I can do anything about it but still, at least I don't have to feel like I'm just a "consumer". I want to be more than that.

[Ventus Fall]

No problem, glad it helped ^^
And no worries, take you time
