tiktok is actually killing me
i posted a video about wanting some weird ass gear (muzzle + literal dog food) and the whole point of the video was poking fun at me being strange about what i wanted and.
there are so many comments like "um i'm a therian but this is weird :/" or "i'm a therian but like i'm NORMAL" or "i'm a therian but i don't actually think im an animal lmfao"
OHBMY GOD AHUT UP IM GOING TO START HITTING PEOPLE WITH HAMMERS. like. OH MY GOD.
i'm actually gonna TWEAK i genuinely cannot do this anymore any time someone posts about therianthropy and they're not wearing a mask or doing quadrobics or something aesthetically pleasing that doesn't imply they actually identify as an animal kintok throws them into oncoming traffic
interact with this post if i can pop in your inbox and bother you with random questions or things that may or may not relate to your blog
Does anybody else hate that sometimes therianthropy is treated like a cute aesthetic rather than an animalistic identity?
I get species euphoria by ripping objects apart, chasing animals, eating without utensils, walking on my toes, feeling how sharp my canine teeth are, among other things. None of these things are dainty or aesthetic, and to the average person it's probably not acceptable/normal behavior.
I feel like therians should (in a reasonable manner, we're still humans/humanoids guys) show this side more. Being animalistic in some way is part of being a therian and it shouldn't be shameful
Note: Im not 100 percent active in the alterhuman community so if I've gotten anything wrong since the last time I was here forgive me

i just literally don't get how someone being a furry endangers anyone. like how. explain. what the person shopping for milk in the grocery store next to you wearing dog ears and a tail is actually murdering you via psychic damage? shut the fuck up just let people exist in ways that bring us joy my god some people are so joyless
You're overthinking your theriotype research.
"What do I act like. Whats my personality. Whats my mood? Whats-"
What do you feel like.
You could be a wolf that likes being pet and like toys.
You could be a cat that likes water and forests.
You could even be a dog that prefers forests.
Therianthropy is what YOU feel like you are.
If what you're personality "shows" you are is something that you feel like you arent. Then you arent. Despite what the signs are.
YOU ARE WHAT YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE.
This doesn't mean "oh I WANT to be a bird so ill pick bird." No- do you *feel* more like a bird than human?
Remember. Getting your theriotype wrong is normal. Theriotypes changing is normal. Were all non-human together.
DONT OVERTHINK IT!
I wish boobs were detachable. Because sometimes I want to look like a genderless being, other times the outfit needs boobs.
theres actually no rules to transitioning and youre allowed to want contradictory things for your transition. it's fine if you only want some of the changes that come with hrt and take preventative measures for the rest (like wanting bottom growth but not body hair or vice versa). you can want to have vagina AND a dick. you can be a woman and want top surgery, or wear a packer. you can be a man and want to have a pussy. you can change your transition goals one or a million times or not have any goals at all and just take things as they come or as they feel right.
there are no rules.

Here’s a little explainer post I made for my instagram. Thought I’d post it here too! 🐾
It does a disservice to all listed communities to have them be misconstrued and misunderstood to the degree that they often are. Hopefully this post helps some folks understand the differences and nuances a bit better! ^^
I think we need to normalize using "people" as a species neutral word.
Like idk in my brain the word people just doesn't automatically = human. To me it's just a way to signify intelligence and individuality, and to emphasize the need for respect towards another creature, not specific to any one species.
Dogs can be people, mice can be people, dragons can be people, humans can be people, birds can be people, elves can be people, robots can be people, and so on.
It's also (in my opinion) just much easier than always saying "beings" or "individuals" when referring to varying assortments of creatures.
I feel the therian community needs a reminder:
Being alterhuman can be having dysphoria and little signs all throughout your life, crazy experiences with memories and flashbacks and full body shifts, never once feeling like a human and only feeling like your kintype(s)
And being alterhuman can also mean discovering a Creachur one day and going 'Oh, yeah, that's me' and then going on with life
And it can be a spectrum between that
There is no one right way to be alterhuman
Different ways to solve paw dysphoria:
i can be trusted on a nature walk i promise. i promise i will stay on the trail and will not run off into the forest never to be seen again i promise
Nonhuman expressions of affection are great. Purring. Exposing weak points as a show of trust. Head bonks. Preening and chewing. Nuzzling. Biting. Intertwining tails. Feeding each other. Little chuffs, chatters, beeps and squeaks. Fluffing up of feathers, fur or other things. Dancing to impress. Cleaning their fur, scales, feathers or skin. Sharing body heat. Ears pointing toward those you care about to show your full attention is on them. Slow blinking.
Fun facts for dollkins/therians! :DDDDD
Dolls date back thousands of years. Some of the oldest known dolls were found in ancient Egyptian tombs, crafted from materials like clay, wood, and stone :0 Dolls are often used in rituals, ceremonies, and as symbols of protection or fertility! Over time, dolls have been made from a wide range of materials, including porcelain, wax, cloth, plastic, and even papier-mâché! Doll collecting is a popular hobby worldwide. Collectors often seek rare or vintage dolls, and there are specialized markets and conventions for doll enthusiasts! Many artists use dolls as a medium for artistic expression :] Throughout history, dolls have been associated with superstitions and beliefs. For example, in some cultures, dolls were believed to possess spirits or bring good luck, while in others, they were seen as omens of misfortune if mistreated :[
