Writing about shifting since it’s late and I feel my paws but see only hands:

It starts with a tingle at the base of my spine; almost like a tug of something that’s supposed to be there but isn’t. Sometimes accompanied by a pang of loss- not right now; this feeling is my purpose.

There’s motion in it, like wiggling your toes with your eyes closed. Gravity affects it, swing your arms and let them drop and it will too. Resting on my back is comfortable enough but there’s something I wish was there like it has been/ should be.

I have it in my arms/hands too, like fur pressed to the skin I have now. Not like a jacket, like my arms should be bigger but aren’t. My hands aren’t small by human standards but they’re not big like they should be. They’re not full of fur and paw pads and huge claws that could hold me on a tree with ease; my purpose.

When this feeling goes to my face, it wrinkles my nose, it makes me curl my lips into a playful snarl. I wish the dull, square teeth I had would warp and sharpen. A full smile I can show off, truly myself.

I sometimes question whether I’d be happy being a bear without the human memories I’ve made; imagining the life I’m living right now melting away for the experience of fur and teeth and bark on my back, standing in a moving river as it turns my pelt sodden. I miss the life I didn’t get to have, but these wrinkles in time of feeling the paws that should be there and the snout I should have make it feel connected. My purpose is tied to me now in a beautiful way :)

I think a cool thing therians should start promoting is donating to conservation centers related to their theriotype. I think it would be a really good way to feel a connection to your theirotype, knowing that you contributed to the safety and nurturing of your species.

therian tip? kinda? if possible, learning to move your ears is SO nice if you can do it i learned to do it when i was like 14

and yeah. it slaps

unsure how you teach yourself? youre not actually moving the ears themselves, its basically your whole scalp! i just sorta practiced moving above my eyebrows, which i dont know how i learned to do. but yeah my human ears actually instinctively move like animal ones

Neurodivergent Therian culture is getting told off as a kid by your teachers because you always had your shoes off because the feeling of the classroom floor against your feet was a much better feeling than with shoes

Canine Therian culture is getting hella species euphoria from sharp canine teeth

Bear/Feline Therian culture is always asking to go for sushi because the raw fish is everything

I have 0 tolerance for therians/alterhumans/etc who buy real animal tails from Amazon. Now don't get me wrong I love real fur tails when they are purchased ETHICALLY!! But the tails sold on Amazon are from unregulated fur farms. You don't know anything about these farms, the treatment of the animals, anything. You call yourself therian/alterhuman but have little to no respect for animals.

And I understand some of these people are kids. They don't know. But I think there needs to be more information being shared amongst these communities about ethical fur products and just basic respect in general.

If you aren't going to take the time to look into where the fur is coming from or ANY info regarding the quality of life for these animals you shouldn't be buying real fur. It frustrates me because other people will validate the person who bought the tail. Telling them it's fine that they disrespected this animal that they themselves claim to be.

If you are going to call yourself that animal you should have basic respect to do research into the items YOU are buying. It's that simple.

Update! I didn’t make this clear originally but I have nothing against fur farms that treat their animals well, use all the parts they can, and kill the animals humanely. I go into detail about this in further replies.

I need IRL Therian friends. I need friends to play fight with. I need other to share my non human feelings with. I need to have someone to do vocals with. I need someone who I don't have to pretend to be a human around.

LEAVING THIS UP BUT VERY IMPORTANT UPDATE

Someone reblogged and said it can weaken the leather inside, this has never happened to me for the year or so I've done it, but very likely can happen!! Please be cautious:) this is likely better advice for faux tails! (As most of those dont have leather middles)

Reminder for all therians who have gear/anyone with animal gear

WASH

YOUR

TAIL!!

Don't know how/are afraid to do it wrong

Here's a step by step on how I do it! (This is for real fur tails but should also work just as well for faux fur !)

Fill up a sink or a large pot with warm water, NOT boiling/hot!! This can cause the fur and hold on it to grow a lot weaker and possibly fall off

Pour in dawn dishsoap/sensitive skin laundry detergent(regular downy also works!) into the water and mix it around :)

Gently take your tail and soak it in the water, slowly and carefully running your fingers through the fur to remove any excess dirt/grime

Dump out the dirty water and refill it with slightly colder water, run the tail through this again!

Smell testing is also a good idea, step away into a better smelling room then walk in and smell the tail, if it smells bad or grimey another less intensive wash may be needed

If done, Take the tail out, lay it FLAT DOWN on a surface, do not hang dry it from its keychain if it is big or heavy, if not then feel free to hang dry!

Check on it every hour or so, in less than a day it should be good! (Depending on length:] )

And thats all!! I hope this helps anyone with gear who wasnt shure how or if to wash it:)!!

🌿 Trauma Based Identities 🌿

There are a number of causes for our non-human identities. The most common being spiritual, but also imprinting. So now, what is a trauma based identity? And how could it cause one to have a psychological theriotype?

A trauma based identity is basically an identity that was formed because of, or in relation to, trauma. Especially during childhood/adolescence. At a young age, we are still very much developing mentally and emotionally. Our minds are going through so many changes, and our environment has an incredibly big impact on that. Early life trauma is part of that environment, and therefore, can literally make changes to your beain chemistry and how it develops. So how does this have to do with therianthropy?

Well, if a child experiences trauma or abuse, their minds may unconsciously seek some kind of coping mechanism. And this coping mechanism CAN cause them to develop a non-human identity. Especially if they feel detached from other humans who are the source of said trauma. Often time, the animal they may imprint on will be in their environment. Perhaps a pet, or a wild animal they see on a regular basis. It can be an animal or being they've been exposed to through media, like; movies, tv shows, books, games, etc. It can also even be a toy they have of said animal. Regardless, the trauma can make such a development occur.

//Imprinting can also be in relation to the trauma based identity. As a child experiencing abuse and neglect may imprint on the animal around them, rather than the humans that cause them harm, or hurt them.//

Some may argue that "this isn't a theriotype, its a coping link!". But you are wrong. The definition of therianthropy, is to identify as an animal, or have an involuntary non-human identity. A copinglink is a CHOSEN identity you chose to CONSCIOUSLY cope. If the trauma based identity is NOT chosen, and develops without voluntarily chosing so, it IS a VALID therianthropic identity.

I think it's important for people to be aware that such identities exist and are incredibly valid. They can be tough, but it is part of our development.

🌿 My Trauma-based Identity 🌿

Ever since I was a baby I've gotten a lot of traumatic experiences. I was consistently abused and neglected. I won't go into detail, but it was really hard. And I deal heavily with the affects today.

I never felt loved, or safe. But we did have cats in our household all the time. And I learned love from them. The cats never hurt me, never scared me, never screamed at me. All they did was show me love. They made me feel seen. So, as a toddler, I imprinted heavily on them. I ate their food, bathed like them, crawled around like them, meowed, and even used the litter box on several occasions (i know it sounds extreme but as embarrassing as it is, i did..)

My parents regularly punished me for acting like a cat, but I never stopped. And I continued seeing them as my true family.

I imprinted on them and it became a permanent mental development that would follow me through all of my childhood, my adolescence and early adulthood.

Thinking of why this identity developed makes me sad. But it also makes me grateful, because i dont thing the young, autistic and traumatized lil child I was would have made it otherwise.

I go through periods of questioning and denial. Because this identity makes me feel a lot of repressed emotions. But maybe this time i can accept it again. Ill do it at my own pace though. ♡

Thats all! Hope this helps others with trauma based identities. Know that you are valid. And you are seen. If ever you need to talk about it, im here. My DMs are open. I may not be online all the time, but Ill respond.
