ice skating is kinda like flying, right? cold air swooshing past you, following the wind currents (the shape of the rink), pushing against the ice (pushing against the air), not to mention a work out

Welcome, feathered friends!!

Welcome to raptors-rapture, an ask blog for all avian alterhuman/nonhuman experiences!! We will post basically any asks we get that are avian nonhuman related. (Hate will be ignored, because why bother?) We'll put trigger warnings in tags as necessary, but do appreciate if any applicable warnings are in the ask as well.

We define "avian" rather loosely here, so basically anyone with wings, feathers, beaks, talons, anything remotely avian-related are welcome to send in asks! This includes otherkin, wingkin, angelkin, etc. (And despite the name of the blog, all birds are welcome here!! I promise I don't bite. Probably.)

This is run by @raysrambles, so if you need anything or have any questions unrelated to this blog, feel free to head over there!

No real DNI, but hate or whatever will just be ignored or blocked. This is a safe place for all avians!!

Hope to see you around!!

Ok I’m pretty sure everyone’s gotten wing shifts at some stage while lying down, but consider: tail feathers. While lying on your back. The tail feathers reach right to my ankles.

I’m too scared of trampling them so I just get trapped on my bed :’>

being a bearded vulture is having a jar of bleached bones sitting on your desk and looking at them and going .wow i want to Eat Those but. you just settle for going batshit insane eating pretzel sticks in the kitchen, crouched in the corner with your wings around you. just me ????

Being a bird is like:

Stretching my wings in the sun (:

Randomly squeaking

MUST BUILD A NEST MUST BUILD A NEST

Idk where to really go but I've been questioning if I might be a therian.

For a long while my feet haven't felt right, my ears haven't felt right. It's always felt like I've had this feathered-tipped tail. A lot of my vocal stims have been thrilling and chirping. There feels like there's wings on my back that need to be stretched and preened but I just can't and it has me questioning so much?? Espically since I recently found the therian community, and I find myself deeply relating to a lot of the issues and just... again, idk? Yk?

Hey anon!! That definitely sounds like it could be shifts! I can't tell you for sure, of course, but I'd definitely recommend looking into it. One thing that might help is, for whatever creature you're questioning, ask yourself if you identify *as* that creature, or *with* that creature (or something else!) Therianthropy means you identify (usually non-physically) AS the animal. Whereas if you don't identify as it, but you feel a strong connection with it, that could be otherhearted. And it doesn't work for everyone, but it's worth a try to do some guided therian meditations. Lots of therians find them useful (although again, it's not for everyone).

Finally, honestly just keep interacting with the therian community! There's so many people out there to help you and support you, whether you end up identifying as a therian or not.

(Obligatory disclaimer: if you're experiencing serious/significant distress or discomfort, that could be a sign of a mental disorder. Please don't write off serious distress as therianthropy without checking up on that first :))

Sunflower seeds: simultaneously maximum species euphoria and dysphoria!

Euphoria because eat seed like bird!

Dysphoria because I can't eat them as fast as I should :(

Being an avian kin is also being a Grian (hermitcraft) kin, because i am both a bird and a scarlet macaw and his character design makes me so happyyyyyy (also preening fanfics GBJKGAHAOURH)

Ngl being a bird in the therian community is also being annoyed at people who simplify it to Just Wings. My pet peeve is people who consider that angels, feathered dragons, winged beasts, winged people and birds are all the same thing bc "feathered wings"

yup yup. one thing I think about sometimes is how even though they're all "just wings" that's such a broad category. like, do you think a sparrow's wings are gonna feel at all the same as an eagle's? do you think a biblically accurate angel is gonna feel at all the same as a dragon? do you think a person with wings on their back is gonna feel at all the same as a crow? cuz I can tell you, I'm a crow and a dragon, and my wing shifts for both of those feel wildly different than each other. anyways sorry to ramble under your submission, but you're very right

I think the most bittersweet part of being a pigeon therian is that pigeons are so common. I see them everywhere, and it brings me so much joy to see them strutting around, but also. I'm so aware of my human body around them.

YES PIGEONS!! I love pigeons and am currently questioning if I might have a pigeon theriotype! i was out of town in a big city a few days ago and there were so many pigeons just hanging out. I sat down and one of them came over and just chilled with me for a bit before his somewhat more deranged friend came and started poking him until he came along. sometimes I try to pick pigeons up, although that's probably not a great idea. anyways much love to my pigeon brothers and sisters and siblings. y'all are great.

being avian is seeing an animation of two avian characters soaring together and almost crying out of happy, euphoria and "god i wish that were me". it's also the elytra from minecraft

both of these are so real
