Sebastian Thurtide

Sebastian Thurtide, also known as Lord of Flaming Roses (born April 11, 1994), is a furry artist and roleplayer who lived in Palmdale, California, USA, then Woodsfield, Ohio.

His fursona was formerly a Sea Otter then a were-otter (a crossbreed of werewolf and sea otter) and finally a shape-shifting Sea Otter with that species being the base default form. His first known fursona was a badger, back when he frequented the Redwall fan sites that likely helped introduce him to the Furry Fandom.

Controversy
Following the 2016 mass-shooting at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, Sebastian made a post on Twitter, claiming that a furry named Kodakoda Coyote had died in the massacre. After the veracity of the claim was called into doubt, Sebastian deleted his entire Twitter account.

Following the 2018 death of Jack "Tank" Chapman (a furry fandom-adjacent event that attracted significant attention from gay bear and musclefur members), Sebastian made a post on his new Twitter account, claiming to be a friend of the deceased man. The veracity of the claim was called into doubt and Sebastian locked his account. Sebastian had stated he didn't want his account to be totally public, especially to those outside of the fandom as that was never the intended community for it to be used. .
