A bit of sad news in the furry fandom today (even though I didn’t really know her personally or ever attended a furcon), but she made a lasting impression in VRChat.
For ones that don’t know, the creator behind ‘Telephone’ created the Dutch Angel Dragon or ‘Dutchie’ for short, which inspired Kibble to make the Best Boi model, which inspired Kaelygon to make the Dutchie model, which inspired FluffyDragon to make the Dutch Angel Dragon model. Telephone has been highly praised by having a very kind soul and full of life (once you get to know her), and having that iconic ‘Dutchie squeak’.
I still remember the day of ??? ? when Twitchin told us that Telephone was coming to VRChat for the first time, just to see for herself of how much love we gave for the inspired work of the Best Boi.
But as of today, the creator of Telephone has decided that after 6 happy years of being a Dutchie, it’s time to retire the fursona and create a new one. Here is the official tweet;

I don’t think much (if anything) will happen to the models in VRChat, or if this means that she no longer owns the rights to the sona (or even if someone else will take over to keep that legacy going).
But the only thing I can safely say, what she has done as ‘Telephone’ of being a really sweet and caring Dutch Angel Dragon (and gave Kibble the go-ahead to release the Best Boi to the public), will never be forgotten.
