A lot of people, while talking to me, like to refer to "Posh" as someone separate from myself. Fine if you do, but you don't have to.

I mean, I get it - a big thing in the furry community is original characters and roleplay, and it makes a degree of sense to assume that the representation someone chooses to use as their name and image might have a degree of separation from who they are as a person. I gather that many people's fursonas are somewhat aspirational or are used to portray a part of their personality they particularly love.

To me, it's more like various frontends of the same application. I'll try to make this as non-technical as possible... I'll assume you, as someone on the internet, have used at least one service with both a website and an app.

You can consider "me", the creature behind this blog, removed from any name or other portrayal, like a service with both an app and a website.

The app is me, IRL, with a name and face that I don't share openly on the internet. Interacting with that, you get super-fast performance, though it does look a little bit like the operating system it's hosted on (a human body).

You, reading this post, get the web version - that's Posh, looking like an anthro cat. It's a different experience, and the visuals are a little more versatile, but behind the facade, you're still interacting with the same "me".

In terms of personality, there are no differences between IRL-human-me and web-furry-me. There's no canonical "lore" to this fluffy thing. I have aspirations and qualities of myself I like, but with my "fursona", there's nothing to aspire to, and nothing to exaggerate, because I try my best to love all of myself and I pride myself on being the realest bitch (queen?) around.

TL;DR: IRL human Posh == internet furry Posh (but like an evil JavaScript kind of == where you can compare instances two different types that represent the same value). No need to disambiguate.
