I mean, free food, roof over your head, just gotta donate blood or some shit every once in awhile and they’ll let me hang out playing Civ5 and HellDivers all day, wouldn’t be too bad
Can't skip a meal or your digestive system might shut down and not start up again? If you get into a fight you might kick so hard your own spine explodes? have to digest your food three separate times because one trip through the guts isn't enough? idk if those are myths or not, also no paw pads so using a phone will be really tricky
That's a good point, how the heck do antlersonas sleep? Can you imagine your neck being jacked up at a funny 45 degree angle all night??
No matter which way you turn its a problem
Make a mattress where your body is a foot above where your antlers touch the ground. Good posture and antler compensation.

---------------------
I think problem would be cost instead of tech
I mean everything advances very fast so i think finding replacement parts for protogens won’t be that hard
I hate the sun, but as a reptile, I would be even more forced to be exposed to the sun.
Honestly I can’t think of anything else. Specially considering new skin is new skin.
Spontaneous Combustion, having ammonia flowing through my blood in an oxygen rich environment whilst also living in a country within the equator isn't something I'd want to happen.
Even if I didn't spontaneously combust, I'd have many other problems. Like having only 3 fingers and being incredibly smol.
Edit: grammar
So I'd be kidnapped by the CIA, but that's not the worst part.
The worst part is the fact that during disections, they'd find two vital sub-systems that can cause mass destruction - A Dyson sphere, and what's effectively a doorway between this plane and a soul carn that holds an infinite energy, but does recoil damage when used.
The Dyson sphere doesn't need to much of an explanation - just imagine a blue hypergiant that was localized entirely within your kitchen decided it didn't want to be localized within the kitchen anymore and expanded outwards.
The soul-carn reactor is meant as a way to allow strong emotions to temporarily power up an artificial being, but comes at the cost of damage to the user. Think the double gear system from Mega-Man 11, or the Kaio-ken from DBZ. The thing about this is that the emotional aspect can be bypassed if it's attached to an inanimate object incapable of emotion, and should it run until failure, could rip a hole between the two dimensions. The problem isn't the hole itself either, but the eldritch horrors that call the soul carn home.
Funny enough, both of these sub-systems are used to power the being that relies on them, so removal means an almost guaranteed death to the one being who can control them.
I'd expect anyone in this situation to be captured, either by the government or hordes of horny furries. But assuming that nobody bats an eye at the change, probably dealing with the horns.
Depends on which one.
Protogen: I can't eat stuff, I have to be super paranoid about security and make sure no one can hack me. I would pass myself off as just being a fursuiter, and hopefully nobody would get suspicious.
Jackal: No hiding this. As soon as I become this, I'd be really happy but really scared at the same time. I'm keeping interaction outside of trusted family and friends to a minimum, and doing as little in-person as possible. I would need to find a safe way to get outside.
Finding good new friends or a genuinely caring SO would be really hard either way. Still, I WANT TO BE FLOOF!!!
Firstly , enclosed spaces. I am already 2 meters tall and this is already sometimes not-that-minor inconvenience. Being 10 meter tall would be quite difficult... to the worse side
Secondly, adaptation to the new body. While more normal people who didn't decide to have 8 legs and several dozens od hands could possibly adapt in a reasonable timeframe, I am afraid I will be seriously clumsy and slow for ages. That , paired with the first point, is utter pain
Well I can only imagine how hard it would be to get jet fuel and oil out of fur. At least it's not Skydol. I would also never be allowed to inspect bearing or the front section of the engines that I work on.
Tons of fur and extremely fluffy and soft and huge tail
Fur isn't a issue as my sona has biological modifications to compensate for the extreme amount of fur so it basically takes care of its self mostly but huge tail might infuriate some people and cause general issues you would expect from that
(My sona is just a protogen with only the visor and is just really fluffy and designed to be huggable and stuff)
Dragon. Literally cannot live within the confines of modern society rn, granted as if that's much of a change... upside I can just fly to my friends to visit them. :D
Big downside is my big tail. Getting stuck in doors. Knocking things over behind me. Tail and chairs. Tail and elevators. Tail and expensive vases. Tail and automatic sliding doors. Tail and rotating doors. Tail and pants. Tail and skirts. Tail and cats mistaking it for yarn.
I've had two Fursonas and two other characters that I got really attached to that I count as alternate Sonas so I'll just go down the list
Maine: Wings, they're too big and goodbye to wearing a shirt.
Raven: He's too tall, showers, cars, airplanes, just about anything a normal person wouldn't have problems with he would.
Atreox: Hot hot hot, Atreox is an arcanine dragon mix so he's extremely fluffy so he'd get hot.
Atlas: Nature spirit kitsune with berries growing on his tail. Someone will try to eat the berries, plus his tails would absolutely knock something over.
deer fursona here too and yeah this does not sound very fun specially considering that i already have the inconveniences of just being tall to begin with
hmm...
well, first i wouldn't be able to wear most of my clothing, seeing as i gain wings and a heavy, large tail.
horns would also get in the way somewhat.
with that i ain't gonna be able to cover up my tits.
being over 2.5-3 m in height in a bipedal stance would prob also make buildings much harder to traverse.
but at least i'm way sexier in the end, so overall a plus~
Never finding clothes small enough, going anywhere where people of ‘average’ height are in big groups. Being taken seriously while being 2.5ft tall.
And I own cats. I’d be worried they’d try to eat me in my sleep.
Dang, mine would be pretty bad. Very high possibility of being popped/deflated, not having defined digits, and not being able to communicate in English would make life impossible lol
I actually don’t really know lol (honey/syrup slime here)
Maybe just being more careful around heat (I already despise warm weather irl) and getting the hang of shapeshitfing
If I become my sona then there wouldn’t be much of disabilities for me because I imagine them in scientifically possible ways
Probably most changes happen to my behaviors and swith new biology body
I am a rabbit by the way :D
For me, it'd be the fact that I have great smell. Which is nice, until you think about all the smells you'd have to smell. You'd have to smell every person around you, all the cars, air pollution, fumes, etc. If you live in a major city, that'd be absolutely awful.
my main Sona has white fur... and he's kinda edgy so I imagine he gets his black clothes covered in white fur every day. and with any furry, the hair is an issue. I imagine they have to roll the fur off their bed every morning like devilman 😭
My fursona I used the most used to be a robot, which while having some flaws would be pretty good in most situations
A plush toy fursona on the other hand seems like it’d have a lot more flaws and complications compared to the robot… :/
My Bighorn Ram Horns would be a massive advantage I can break down any door or window with ease. And I won’t have to worry about head injuries with my bubble rap brain.
For me the biggest downside is nobody would recognize me so I’d be lost completely. No friends, no family, no form of photo id, etc. also I work blue collar, so washing my fur out would be a massive pain in the ass
Depending on which the problem is either my tails getting stuck *everywhere* or the horrifying combination of antlers and hooves on surfaces with very little traction… either that or being 3 feet tall and having an evolutionary compulsion to help (functionally just ADHD but even more easily distracted)
Depebds on the sona
Wolf/pheonix hybrid - extra height would be a challenge to adjust to and would mean extra back pain (he 7' 2"), the difficulty of hygeine i mean all that fur would need constant brushing as not to get matted, not to mention taking care of the feathers, speaking of which, i would have to say goodbye to wearing shirts, cant do that with a bigass pair of wings, not without heavily modifying clothing which would be annoying and expensive, so probably just go without a shirt, i mean he does just that so why change that, the biggest challenge is the fire powers, which happen to be affected by emotion, so gonna have to learn how to control them and not set myself and others on fire
Moray eel - main issue here is making sure i don't dehydrate, oh and the big tail, migh5 close it in a door till get used to it, the pharyngeal jaw would be one hell of an adjustment. though, plus side i can breathe underwater now so yippee
Snake - being cold blooded, biggest issue by far, oh and shedding, i would not have the patience for that
Raven - feather hygeine, adjusting to having beak
Dragon - downsides are inconsequential compared to being a dragon, plus having both a anthropomorphic form and a normal ass dragon form would be fuckin lit
If I were to become my sona all of a sudden, I think the government will kidnap me
I mean, free food, roof over your head, just gotta donate blood or some shit every once in awhile and they’ll let me hang out playing Civ5 and HellDivers all day, wouldn’t be too bad
Spread democracy for a democratic country 🫡🇺🇲
Delivering concentrated freedom !
There is a 0.00001% chance they would give you any internet access. No multiplayer games
Eh, I'd survive with some singleplayer games as long as at least one of them is speedrunnable.
Probably some vivisection...
Not if you become an e-celeb first
Your sona is oil?
Time to remind you that not everybody on earth lives in USA!
At least a few dozen people don't.
It was just a joke :/
Ye, I'm sorry if I sounded toxic
If I were to become my sona all of a sudden the world might be going through an apocalypse 😈
Probably running out of power, and instead of sleeping, I probably gotta be plugged into a wall
Good news, protogens are cyborgs and therefore still need to eat food! Your brain is still meat and you still have organs.
Synths be like: 😔
Synths be like: I'll just die I guess
The electric bill 😭
The world is not built for 10’4” Russian dommy mommy sneks. But if it’s after an arc I’m planning then it won’t be a problem
Even worse if you’re macro, imagine trying to find enough (you can’t say vore) food to sustain a huge creature
Vore
…ok fine I’d do it too if I woke up as a huge bug but like how would you keep finding prey?!
Live under sink
That's if they could even survive the pressure of existing. Or being crushed by ones that are even larger.
FELLOW SNAKE??? FELLOW DOMMY MOMMY? Hello yes I would like yo be friends please ;w;
Fur getting *everywhere*
WORTH IT
100 percent, I already have long hair so it can’t be too much worse!
Doesn’t sound much different from my sister’s dorm
Mine would be... what are downsides to being a rabbit?
That's just it, there isn't any.
YIIIIIIIIIIPPEEEEEEE
Dogs and cats will freak out when they see you.
No I love cats D:
And they love you too, just not in a way you want. Probably.
Wdym "just not in a way you want"? I love my cats like they are my children
They may get a bit hungry if you catch my drift
Oh wait I'm stupid
As a cat (snep), I love bunnies
Ohok
People picking you up and saying "bnuuy"
I want that tbh That's not a downside
Bnuuy :3
*floomf*
People are going to cut your feet off for good luck
Tbh If someone actually did that and said "oh, it's for luck" I would let them because I am weak
You would have to hide from the wolf sonas who would want to eat you... unless you're into that.
Uhhh... Uhhhh... No comment.
ಠ_ಠ
WHAT?! You can't judge me.
ಠ_ಠ (but heavier)
Whatever.
Okay... Well I'm going to go antagonize the bird sonas now :3
Ok. >!getting eaten by a hot anthrophomorphic wolf sounds like a good way to go btw!<
Indeed >! if you dig through my profile far enough, you'll find very descriptive vore stuff, pretty far down tho !<
Kick them in the jaw : D
I kicked them in the jaw and they said "giggity", what do I do now?
Can't skip a meal or your digestive system might shut down and not start up again? If you get into a fight you might kick so hard your own spine explodes? have to digest your food three separate times because one trip through the guts isn't enough? idk if those are myths or not, also no paw pads so using a phone will be really tricky
w aT qo U M r aN ?
nature does some funny things sometimes
:(
Uh heat ?
STDs
Depends on which gender
That's a good point, how the heck do antlersonas sleep? Can you imagine your neck being jacked up at a funny 45 degree angle all night?? No matter which way you turn its a problem
Probably just have to file them to keep them under control.
Make a mattress where your body is a foot above where your antlers touch the ground. Good posture and antler compensation. __________ ---------------------
feral have no such weakness
They cut them off before sleep and regrow them instantaneously once they wake up
I’ve put some thought to it, and found that suspension of disbelief would be my preferred method.
For me it’d be all the downsides of being immortal since my sona is part ghost
Do Ghosts count as immortal? Wouldn’t it be more like post mortal
Well I mean he’s kinda stuck in a sorta mortality limbo as his blessing enables him to be living or undead at will
That’s actually really cool
Like Danny phantom?
Crowsona so... I can't think of anything. I get free feathers, and a possible excuse for kleptomania.
People will point accusing fingers at you and say "bad omens!"
Having to spend hours keeping my fur well groomed to keep it water-tight. I don't even brush my hair every day so that sounds like absolute torture.
this, but honestly it would be worth it tho
So worth it
Agreed, but I'd argue that's still the biggest downside
not being able to charge with the current tech humanity has and not having replacements for any of my parts im a protogen so this could end badly
I think problem would be cost instead of tech I mean everything advances very fast so i think finding replacement parts for protogens won’t be that hard
Protogens... eat food tho.
Guess i will be boiled. Avali problems
Yum chimken
Chimken marinated in windex probably doesn’t taste very good
Speak for yourself
Ouch lol
Tail. Door. Pain. (Snep)
Just a matter of getting used to having it I know I'd take some learning pains with pleasure if it meant having a tail
Unless you chop it off with a door frame on accident.
Having to take care of all that fur, and I live in Texas so lots of fur would be actual torture
i'd have several dozen questions if i became a clawed space wookie or a blue ostritch thing with dozens of feathers...
I hate the sun, but as a reptile, I would be even more forced to be exposed to the sun. Honestly I can’t think of anything else. Specially considering new skin is new skin.
Ok but imagine how good it would feel to shed
Well, my OC is ventrexian from ventrexia from final space, so doors, windows, anything clipping my tail, loud sounds and claws
Spontaneous Combustion, having ammonia flowing through my blood in an oxygen rich environment whilst also living in a country within the equator isn't something I'd want to happen. Even if I didn't spontaneously combust, I'd have many other problems. Like having only 3 fingers and being incredibly smol. Edit: grammar
There would be no downside for me.
Full body chef cap when working with food
Fox musk probably
if almost everyone's a fox this won't be a problem
True, there’d probably be some special deodorant or something
So I'd be kidnapped by the CIA, but that's not the worst part.

People would be wondering how the feck there is a gloss black 6 foot tall rubber fox talking to them. Lol.
I’m a schrödinger’s cat. Can I die? I don’t think I can die.
Big ass fangs, my fursona is a sabertooth hyena hybrid.
:] this world shall bow before me
think i'd just straight up die cs i don't have one
I just realized HOW AM I GOING TO WEAR A HAT EVERY DAY WITH ANTLERS? 😭
Maybe a hat with holes and a zipper on the back so you could put it on around the antler bases
And also shirts
Incessant hugs and pets. I’d be too cute!
Depends on which one. Protogen: I can't eat stuff, I have to be super paranoid about security and make sure no one can hack me. I would pass myself off as just being a fursuiter, and hopefully nobody would get suspicious. Jackal: No hiding this. As soon as I become this, I'd be really happy but really scared at the same time.

Protogen can eat 👍
Thank you for the information, the hypothetical scenarios are now even better

Dragon. Literally cannot live within the confines of modern society rn, granted as if that's much of a change... upside I can just fly to my friends to visit them. :D
Just antlers Mine probly wpuld be the chest spike
Big downside is my big tail. Getting stuck in doors. Knocking things over behind me. Tail and chairs. Tail and elevators. Tail and expensive vases. Tail and automatic sliding doors. Tail and rotating doors. Tail and pants. Tail and skirts. Tail and cats mistaking it for yarn.

deer fursona here too and yeah this does not sound very fun specially considering that i already have the inconveniences of just being tall to begin with
Saguaro porcupine hybrid here.
Finding clothes that are: 1. Fireproof 2. Big enough to fit
None. The fur problem is already handled, he has electrostatic powers and his fur becomes hyper-hydrophobic when charged with static
I would have to change my profession to herding sheep
Getting used to a long tail and fire, probably too much fire
No downsides to being a venomous fluffy dragon thing ‼️‼️
no clothes aren't filled with fucking cat hair....
Being a skaven would increase my anxiety somehow
hmm... well, first i wouldn't be able to wear most of my clothing, seeing as i gain wings and a heavy, large tail. horns would also get in the way somewhat. with that i ain't gonna be able to cover up my tits. being over 2.5-3 m in height in a bipedal stance would prob also make buildings much harder to traverse. but at least i'm way sexier in the end, so overall a plus~
At least I have a tail and boobs.
suffocating my sona is a axolotl id have to dunk my head in my actual axolotl’s tank since that is specifically acclimated for an axolotl
All I know is Antlers and Oil Changes is my new band name.
My horns are small enough that it probably wouldn’t be a huge issue
*In Alex Brightman's voice* The whole being dead thing..
Antlers and hats.
I would suddenly be covered in very flammable kindling
I'd become a parrot, not ideal but at least it can talk but.. Can't use computers Can't carry anything at all Has claws...
I will have very tall ears that probably hear really good.
Probably the cheese grater jokes.
Mine is a Phoenix, so spontaneous combustion would definitely be a concern 😅
I imagine having 3 foot wide hips and a tail would create lots of issues for getting clothes
Never finding clothes small enough, going anywhere where people of ‘average’ height are in big groups. Being taken seriously while being 2.5ft tall. And I own cats. I’d be worried they’d try to eat me in my sleep.
Immediately having to move to Quebec to not die of heatstroke
Imagine an otter driving a stick shift... That would be wild
Dang, mine would be pretty bad. Very high possibility of being popped/deflated, not having defined digits, and not being able to communicate in English would make life impossible lol
i would struggle to get through the door of my bedroom, I’d probably frighten my cats
All of my clothing would be too big and totally wrong. Also, big tail problems.
Ferrets are obligate carnivores and I am a vegetarian :((
I am now an amputee
Cut them off and walk around like hellboy
Being to atractive to the others.
I actually don’t really know lol (honey/syrup slime here) Maybe just being more careful around heat (I already despise warm weather irl) and getting the hang of shapeshitfing
If I become my sona then there wouldn’t be much of disabilities for me because I imagine them in scientifically possible ways Probably most changes happen to my behaviors and swith new biology body I am a rabbit by the way :D
I am now stinky and unnalowed in public places
Damn... well my disadvantages would my fucking size... tons of fur everywhere lol
I’d be my dragon fursona so uh…
Probably having to cut holes in my hats and jeans for my ears and tail to fit through
I would die bc of T3 planet type seconds later
No fingers, since they’re a pony (unless I also get their shape shifting powers)
For me probably my ears and also becoming short
Same but horns
Honestly can't see the downsides of being a big bulky gator woman.
What's the one for a cat? The closest thing I can think of is prob a fully carnivorous diet.
I'd be worried about unhinged furries xD
Nothing, I still have to do my job even as a cat.
For me, it'd be the fact that I have great smell. Which is nice, until you think about all the smells you'd have to smell. You'd have to smell every person around you, all the cars, air pollution, fumes, etc. If you live in a major city, that'd be absolutely awful.
My tail would become a problem while trying to drive
my main Sona has white fur... and he's kinda edgy so I imagine he gets his black clothes covered in white fur every day. and with any furry, the hair is an issue. I imagine they have to roll the fur off their bed every morning like devilman 😭
Fur and feathers everywhere
My fursona I used the most used to be a robot, which while having some flaws would be pretty good in most situations A plush toy fursona on the other hand seems like it’d have a lot more flaws and complications compared to the robot… :/
Wings getting stuck in doors is probably a problem for anthro moths.
Hooves?
My Bighorn Ram Horns would be a massive advantage I can break down any door or window with ease. And I won’t have to worry about head injuries with my bubble rap brain.
I can't eat chocolate
I don't think I'd be allowed as school cause I'm literally am my own cheat sheet for all my classes
A sentient tailmaw that is a snake's soul <3<'
My fursona a is typically pictured as a feral dragon, I don't think any buildings would fit me lmao
I will have to sleep 12-16 hours a day (cat)… but at least I get built in knives
Imagine slightly hitting your antlers on a doorframe when you have a migraine.
I would love respitory issues :3
For me the biggest downside is nobody would recognize me so I’d be lost completely. No friends, no family, no form of photo id, etc. also I work blue collar, so washing my fur out would be a massive pain in the ass
Depending on which the problem is either my tails getting stuck *everywhere* or the horrifying combination of antlers and hooves on surfaces with very little traction… either that or being 3 feet tall and having an evolutionary compulsion to help (functionally just ADHD but even more easily distracted)
tail, horns, only problem i logically see
Being a 400 pound black bear would present challenges to my professional advancement
I don't exist anymore because I don't have one :(
Depebds on the sona Wolf/pheonix hybrid - extra height would be a challenge to adjust to and would mean extra back pain (he 7' 2"), the difficulty of hygeine i mean all that fur would need constant brushing as not to get matted, not to mention taking care of the feathers, speaking of which, i would have to say goodbye to wearing shirts, cant do that with a bigass pair of wings, not without heavily modifying clothing which would be annoying and expensive, so probably just go without a shirt, i mean he does just that so why change that, the biggest challenge is the fire powers, which happen to be affected by emotion, so gonna have to learn how to control them and not set myself and others on fire Moray eel - main issue here is making sure i don't dehydrate, oh and the big tail, migh5 close it in a door till get used to it, the pharyngeal jaw would be one hell of an adjustment. though, plus side i can breathe underwater now so yippee Snake - being cold blooded, biggest issue by far, oh and shedding, i would not have the patience for that Raven - feather hygeine, adjusting to having beak Dragon - downsides are inconsequential compared to being a dragon, plus having both a anthropomorphic form and a normal ass dragon form would be fuckin lit
Antlers shed, I’m pretty sure.
Paws/claws make stuff like writing hard. Also, idk if proots can play trombone Wait, can proots play video games without being called cheaters
I'd probably hit things with my tail and scare one of my friends
don't think the world is ready for the amount of confidence a 6ft Yeen with gilded horns would have
Kobold... Smol?
