"Mimikyu's disguise is modelled after Pikachu because of the popularity of Pikachu-styled merchandise. This lonely Pokémon thought that this disguise would allow it to make friends with people."
Not putting myself on the same level as Pikachu by any means in terms of popularity but there are a few things to do with Mimikyu that made me imagine a Furry Fandom Equivalent (Draykikyu)
Mimikyu to me has always been like a shy wandering soul. Wanting to find friendship but always being to shy to do it w/o some sort of Mask. In a way of my being in the fandom i've always imagined Drayk to be my mask in many ways because lets be honest how many of us really know anything about people behind their Characters/Sona's.
Of course though too there's always been the aspect of people whom have impersonated my sona which in a way feels like they're using my identity as a means of getting close to people w/o having to rely on their own qualities.
Either way big props and thanks to Digital-Maesma again for doing another great piece for me.

An interesting thought. I'd always thought it was kind of silly to need to hide behind a mask in order to relate with people. And then I tried fursuiting and found out how differently I behave when divested of my identifying characteristics. There's certainly something to that idea.
True. Stripping the consequences out of something is hardly an inherently good process, though not really an inherently evil one either. It simply reveals information, and information doesn't have an alignment, it simply IS. For a lot of people, apparently the only reason that they're not huge dickheads to everyone that they see is that there would be consequences to doing so. I had the fortune of putting on a mask and very much liking what I saw.
Something that will go with me to my grave will be the feeling when I first wore a fursuit and saw myself in a mirror. I was freaking out and thinking that I couldn't do it. I wanted to run back and give up. But I saw this darling little plush fox critter there in the glass and my breath caught in my throat. I was fucking ADORABLE and I couldn't possibly give that up.
And these days I find that there are some things about myself I never would've learned had I never taken that chance to hide everything about me so completely.

One problem with this. Mimikyu is also shown, in the anime, to carry an overwhelming anger towards Pikachu, born of jealousy and resentment. He'll attack Pikachu relentlessly, going so far as to complete ignore the peril of his owner while doing so.
It doesn't help that a Mimikyu, in the game says, I quote, "Me...me curse...you..."
I'm not joking, one really does say that.
