This entry page is all that stands between you and information about a pretty neat fox.
However, that information is appropriate only for adult review.
There is no obscene material on this website, but Slava is an adult and prefers to avoid interacting with minors.

Santa will know if your selection below is a lie, and you won't get any nintendos this year if you lie, so please be honest.

⏮ rewind

bring it back

Slava was born in the mid 1980s, in Baltimore, Maryland, which is where he spent the first half of his childhood. Following family troubles, Slava relocated several times, eventually ending up on his own when he was seventeen years old.By this time, Slava had been calling himself a furry for five years, and had already made significant contributions to the new, modern therian movement.
Following a short period of housing insecurity and while still a minor, Slava was taken in by a very bad person who happened to be a furry, and who would not allow him to escape.
During this time, he coped by immersing himself further in the furry fandom. It became his life, even more than it already had been.
After rescuing himself from that situation, Slava lived in a number of different locations, eventually settling in the Capital Region of New York State.

faders up

After moving to Albany in 2019, Slava took a small step back from the furry fandom to focus on processing trauma and getting his own life in order.
Once he had been able to establish regular work and proper living arrangements, Slava began reaching out to the Capital Region's furries and making friends.
Slava now runs a furry house that he named "El Furado: City of Silicone." It serves as a focal point of furry activity in Eastern Upstate NY and Western Mass.
Slava has also become locally known as an individual who protects members of the communities he moderates or participates in, as he sacrifices his own peace to keep safe spaces and to pursue and expose bad actors in the furry fandom as well as in other local communities.
Slava is determined to leave no vulnerable furry unguarded, to never remain silent while anyone is being abused, and to push back against the cold, negative, angry world that often greets us at our doors.


⏭ Fox Forward

keep it rolling

Slava is wise enough to accept that he can never be sure of what the future will bring, but that staying organized and well-networked are fertilizer for success.
Currently, his apples are mostly in the baskets of a growing community centered around El Furado, his work with the government, and his fulfilling relationship with his partner.

Slava has many plans in the works.
You could be a part of them.

Check back in on him often.

Like any fox, Slava has his favorite things, least favorite things, and active dislikes.
Some of these items are obvious, such as Slava loves being fed, doesn't like searching for food, and dislikes people who have food but are not currently feeding him.
He is a fox, after all.
Many of these likes and dislikes are less obvious, and Slava wants people to know what he likes, so he barked at us until we made this page.

Slava also wanted us to mention that it should go without saying, but he absolutely will not tolerate racism, sexism, genderism,
queerphobia of any type, or hatred based on any immutable attributes or ethnic/cultural background.
Violence against any person or animal in Slava's presence will elicit an aggressively protective response.
There is no room for violence, hate, bullying, or othering in Slava's presence.

Slava - my fursona

an out of character perspective

written by the fox behind the fox


I'm going to attempt a brief real-world history of my fursona. As my fursona is of extreme importance in my identity and lifestyle, I feel that my fursona's roots and significance deserve some explaining.I created my fursona as a stand-in for myself in my imagined scenarios and fan fiction set in many fictional universes, such as Disney's Robin Hood, Sonic comics, TMNT, and basically any other media that featured animal characters of an anthropomorphic nature. I chose fox as his species due to deep feelings I will get into elsewhere.
When I was growing up, I had a lot in my life that I needed to escape. Slava was an effective way to do this. His earliest incarnation came in 1989, when I was only five years old, long before I discovered furry, in 1996. Imagine my shock and excitement upon finding other people with their own animal characters!
The furry fandom became a haven for me at an early age, and it was something I needed much more than I knew then.
The above hints at the nature of my fursona; an idealized extension of myself that helps me realize my fantasies, feel more like myself, and feel a sense of stability. Rather than merely a character I enjoy, Slava represents my oldest fantasies: a stable life, a safe existence with a place in the world, and a self that I like and can identify with.

For some, this may have led to their fursona becoming a sort of imaginary friend, or tulpa.

For me, it led to a merging of myself and my fursona until there was very little division remaining. I wanted to be Slava, and mostly succeeded in becoming him, or me, or whatever we are now.
I have a stable life, a safe existence, a purpose, many loved ones, and most importantly, I like myself.
My friends know me only as Slava. To them, my status as a fox is absolutely not in question. I don't expect this to ever change, meaning I'm sticking around the furry fandom for good, foxing about until they carry me out in a body bag.
End out of character perspective.

When am I, again?

Vyacheslav. I. Lisiy


Where I come from is of little importance, other than to note that it's not here, and it's not now.I was a thief. I still am, but I used to be, too. According to the device I burgled, I originate from 872, but that means very little to me at this point. Time has become mostly meaningless to me.
When am I, again?

Regardless, I'm here to talk about myself because the guy who made me up told me that I needed to, in order to get people to like him more, or something. He's an ok dude, by the way. He made me, at least. He says it's 2025, by the way.
As my byline tells you, my name is Vyacheslav. It means "glory" in my ancestral tongue. Did you know that "Slava" is the affectionate diminuitive, or nickname, associated with my name? Try it out, it goes "SLAH-vah." Easier than that whole big mess my parents gave me, huh?
I'm a fox! A cross fox, more specifically. I could describe myself, but I happen to have a handy reference that I had made so that tailors could make me proper clothes, and so portrait painters could get the small details right. Check it out!

I suppose I should tell you a little bit about my history and activities, the things I enjoy, and other details about myself. It's why I'm dictating this, after all.
As I mentioned, I'm not from your now, whenever that now may be. I may not even be from your universe, dimension, or what-have-you. I am honestly not sure, because I have very little understanding of how my time travel device works.
About that device. . . yeah, I stole it from some cat who was silly enough to use it and then let his guard down in a place and time known for highwayfoxes such as myself. I suppose he's still stuck there. That was a mistake on his part.
I don't understand the science behind it, and I've had a few really close calls - dinosaurs, toxic atmospheres, surprise oceans - but I'm a fox, and nothing can resist me if I want to figure it out badly enough.
I can now dial it in, do my safety checks, and usually end up where I want to be. I am a thief, with a time machine!
I'm sure you're already thinking "he stole the mona lisa, didn't he?" Sure, I did, but I put it back, too. You see, now that I can visit any time I want to, I don't really have a place to keep my loot, or a reason to keep it. I usually end up putting it back nearish to the time I took it, and generally in the location where I found it. It's not like keeping it does me any good.
I do steal to survive - food, small amounts of money, transportation - but otherwise, it's really all just for fun. Time travel makes wealth seem empty and meaningless.
I've got a few friends in different times who I like to visit, but they're really none of your business. My closest friends are a Scottish puck and a raven I met while trying to steal the same thing she was. I also recently met a dog, a foxhound if you can believe it, and we've become closer than I have ever been with any other being.
I might be settling down for a while, as my device can only work for one individual at a time. This relationship feels important to me. Maybe time will become meaningful again after I've stayed here a while. Maybe I will pile up some loot.
Only time will tell.

I've created, altered, or otherwise made my desires come to life in a lot of different ways, over the years.
I am a skilled mechanic, graphic designer, web designer, sysadmin, tailor, carpenter, 3D model texturer and a lot more.
Here is a small sample of some of the work I have done, with absolutely no context.

I am currently working on setting myself up to accept fashion commissions as well as produce rack-ready clothing.
Check back for some kind of store, at some point!

The animal i know i am, somehow

Therianthropy? That's a heck of a topic.

I can't remember a time in my life when I didn't identify as a fox.
It may seem strange, but some of my earliest memories are of wanting to be a fox, instead of a human.
The first time that I saw a red fox, I felt that somehow, that was me, or what I was supposed to be.
My first encounter with my exact theriotype - a cross fox - was like a bolt of lightning to the brain. That! That is what I am!

A lot of people who find their way to therianthropy end up embracing it in a sort of spiritual sense, and some have even taken it as far as organizing what a kind outsider might call faith groups in order to avoid calling them cults.
I feel like that's mostly a result of therians being raised in faith and being isolated from others who feel as they do, until they eventually realize that they're not alone.
It's predictable that many would lean on faith in order to cope with their feelings of displacement and isolation. It's probably the most natural way of handling those feelings, especially if you think you are alone in them.
Most of us seem to at least believe in reincarnation, and I can understand why. It's comforting to think you might come back as your theriotype, or that you feel these things because you existed that way before.

That ain't me. I'm really not about religion or spirituality at all, and I'm not looking for metaphysical comfort. These are not common traits in therians, especially those who have been around the movement for as long as I have.To me, this whole thing seems most likely to be a product of my neuro-divergent brain doing something differently than a typical brain would. I feel like other therians are probably experiencing something similar. That doesn't make it less valid. The mind is a funny thing that we have hardly any understanding of. Irony.

It was like a bolt of lightning to my brain. "That! That is what I am!"

I've been involved in therianthropy since the 1990s, and I believe that I have a lot of valuable perspective on the movement.
What I have found is that regardless of why someone has - or why they believe they have - therianthropic traits, therianthropy is generally harmless to therians and their loved ones.
Therianthropy often serves as the core of the therian's personality. Their theriotype informs their habits, likes and dislikes, preferred living arrangements, and more.
We tend to lean towards what our theriotype would, whether we realize we are doing it or not. Some of us make a concerted effort to do this. For most, it seems to come naturally.

Unlike what some clickbait articles and tik-tok videos may have you believe, therianthropy is not tearing families apart, making children suicidal, or having a negative impact on society. We don't form secretive, abusive, or harmful cults. We don't have romantic ideas about pets or farm animals.

We don't use litter boxes.

Yes, we may bark, chirp, growl, yip, or make other noises. We may decide to skitter around on all fours, go full dog mode chasing squirrels in the park, or sun ourselves on the carpet in the morning . . . but is any of that harmful to anyone?
I don't think so.
In my view, therianthropy is simply a way of identifing and expressing one's self that generally helps people feel secure in themselves, raises self-esteem, and provides kinship. Those are all wonderful things that this world could use a lot more of.
For the vast majority of us, therianthropy is a positive and exciting part of our lives. It's something that makes us feel good, helps us regulate impulse and emotion, and often serves us a highly effective coping mechanism.

I hope any outsiders reading this now have a better understanding of us. Therians are a harmless part of your neighborhoods, workplaces, schools, and social groups. If you found this because you did a google after your child or loved one confessed theranthropy to you, be assured that they're not some kind of disturbed freak. They're just a little different.

We don't bite!
Okay... some of us bite each other.
