I have enough furry friends and acquaintances that every so often someone will make a comment about "converting" me or attempting to tease out some sort of fursona choice
And my honest opinion is, it's simply not how I relate to my identity or to animals. Like, I enjoy looking at cuttlefish, and I think they're cool, but I have no desire to emulate/be one,1 or any other animal a person might care to name. It's not a self-esteem issue or a superiority thing, I'm not too good for a sona, I'm just... not a furry and I don't see that changing anytime soon
Anyway I've realized that I now habitually feel the need to "no homo"-style disclaim any time I feel like I relate to a picture of an animal lest it be used as evidence against me

No shade to any cuttlefish... I'd say scalies but they don't have scales? like, chase your bliss, I'm some rando online, but among other things, IMO a cuttlefish head on a humanoid body doesn't improve the aesthetic of the human so much as it does worsen the aesthetic of the cuttlefish. The alien beauty of a cephalopod does not make for an attractive human and I don't think it needs to.
