You Want To Give The Dragon Chin Scritchies You Want To Feel The Purr Of A Content Dragon Wrapped Around

There's is such a duality to therianthropy, or at least my experience with therianthropy. I love being a bear, I love expressing myself beyond being human. Calling myself a therian is like putting a name to the face. The Thing that claws and snarls in my chest is the real me. But there is also a sense of captivity. The light gets so easily snuffed out by needing to fit a standard. The beast in trapped in a bipedal, fur-less, tail-less, claw-less cage.

It's not always easy to play pretend, to act like you're just like everyone else. Even though there are rough moments, where your feel like an imposter, like you're in a costume that doesn't fit right, you're still a wonderful being. A creature, a critter, an otherworldly being, or whatever you really are. You are valid and loved.

i saw a license plate this morning that said ‘drgn slr’ which probably means ‘dragon slayer’ but ‘dragon slur’ is funnier. dragon faggot. draggot if you will.

Wing and tail stimming would go crazy.

trans people, please remember that not all of us are 'human'. every time you put down the otherkin community, you are affecting transgender nonhumans who occupy trans spaces. You are telling us you think our identities are ridiculous, crazy, and simply a transphobic strawman. I see a lot of nonhumans who are also transgender, including myself, so it's not just catering to like three individuals; when you fight transphobic talking points, it's important to not step on the toes of the otherkin/nonhuman population. I cannot state this enough.

like this post to HUG a dragon. reblog this post to SMOOCH a dragon

listen to me nonhumans of all ages and experiences. you must not let your species dysphoria lead you to misanthropy. you cannot, must not let your personal pain lead you to hate. you must keep a tender love in your heart at all times. letting your species dysphoria warp into misanthropy will lead you to defining your life based on hating how you perceive yourself, rather than loving who you know yourself to be. you must learn to love humans, to love humanity as well. be happy for them having found joy in what brings us discomfort. treasure the varied experiences of this world, and in time, others will begin reciprocating the same feelings for us.
