part one: what is a caesthoffe?

when i was a wee closeted member of Girl Scouts of America i had a friend in a sister troop who was a furry. and she showed me an anthropomorphic species that she made. and i was so inspired, i created my own furry species of came-alive stuffed cats called "caesthoffe." the -aesth is obviously derivative of aesthetic, and -offe means fake (or at least i was under the assumption at the time, i have not been able to find proof of this at all) i.e. fake beauty i.e. plushies.

part two: but what about the man behind the username?

well if that little bio sidebar wasn't enough, hello !! my name is Aurora/Rory, but most people online call me Caesthoffe, and i am the webmaster of the archives™. ive lived in WA my entire life, originally from a small town in the northeast and now on my own living in the biggest city in the state (which sounds like the plot of a fish-out-of-water 90s comedy).
