I wouldn't know what to wear.

All I know is wings would be involved.

Last picture, green kimono, right next to the cowboy and the anthropomorphic bouquet: she is not having a good time

This is where Jobu Tupaki pulls her outfits from! Infinite variations of this graduation ceremony leads to kickass outfits to slum around the multiverse in!

If I had a dime for every time I've heard this sentence...

I was wondering if she's just wearing what that you'd normally wear for a Japanese university graduation ceremony, or if that's also cosplay...

She has to explain the A- when she gets home

Biblically accurate angel it is!

Thats awesome

Or…

That's a demon. Burn it? Freeze it? Burn that one I think. Whatever it is, it's clearly warpspawn.

It's a biblically accurate angel, I think. Though why it also looks like a furby, I don't know.

/Edit unautocorrected furry back to furby.

Wow how did that guy make his head invisible?

Furby not furry. Those things came out my sophomore year of uni. They are evil.

I explicitly typed furby, apparently the autocorrect decided I was wrong.

Fixed, and thanks!

Oh, and I still remember queuing up to buy one of the first ones for a younger sibling.

I wouldn't describe them as evil. Evil is far too mild a word. 😅

I thought there would be more furries.

I’d have two nickels!

Can't go wrong with pajamas.

I think the front row is what you'd "normally" wear.

Weird how they did all that nice work on the feathers, mouth, eyes, etc and then used a couple of old hotel towels for the ear fabric.

i would wear my sluttiest outfit :3 something see-thru

YES.

They dropped out early to get a head start in IT

Of course not, now she has to join the Japanese workforce.

If that’s the 2026 graduations, that kid was born almost 15 years after that movie came out.

It would be like me dressing up as Dr. Zaius for my 2000 graduation.

Probably as a clerk for a disgruntled 50-year old dude who doesn’t understand why he can’t slap female workers on the ass anymore.

Stop the Planet of the Apes Please, I'd Like to Get Off!

Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice!

I might have went to my ceremonys if this was a thing in the us.

Ill be honest. I hear this furry in IT thing in the fedivers all the time and I was in IT for a long time. Decades. Also I went to cons and knew furries. To my knowledge no one I knew in IT was a furry. If they were they did not have the slightest indication by anything on their desk.

Biblically accurate Furby

Hehe, nice 😆🤓

Can I play the piano anymore?

I think its more like a general statistic.

Furries are still a small minority of all people, so the chance your IT crowd has furries is not high.

But on average a furry does have a higher chance to be working in IT.

Same with people who are trans.

There is some natural logic to it. People who are a little different and not always accepted discover a safe haven in computers to connect to like minded people that do accept them. The internet has changed a lot and has become more hostile so those same people went in deeper to arrange and safeguard their own communities.

When your IT crowd does include such people there is also a big chance their not going to tell cause bias and stigma.

Autocorrupt strikes again

Any good soul knows the name of that cardboard robot? I want to make one for Halloween.

no one I knew in IT was a furry

I went to cons and knew furries

The spy has already breached our defenses.

Isn't that amazon's avatar

I'm 22 and the Mask is fairly popular with my generation due to us watching it on television growing up.

Looks like Danbo from Yotsuba - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danbo_(character)

Japan is an interesting culture

Right behind Moominpappa as well. I did not know that the cartoon was popular enough in Japan that someone would actually make a moomin costume.

cosplay appears to be huge over there

thank you

back in the day furries where at general fandom cons. it was kinda sad when they got their own as there was a con in the area that was known for furries and klingons.

The mask is a classic.

Well I couldn't before
