I love logging on everyday and seeing y'all share your stories I'm litteraly crying behind the screen (/pos, and because imma huge crybaby) i was so nervous when i first joined the community, I had just learned what a therian/otherkin/nonhuman was a few months prior, and been going over the label for a long while. I always went back and fourth between furry and petregressor and it never felt right.
When I first made my account i still had second thoughts, what if im a fake and not a 'real' therian, after all I'm seeing accounts with age 20+, hell, even some 30+ year olds, which most of them have known for YEARS that they were therians and have these account to post their awesome experiences with younger therians, and then seeing those young ones too, already knowing who they are. And then there's me at the awkward age of 18 a grown adult but not quite. it embarrassed me that i didn't already know what a therian was, and that i was one, so i doubted myself at first, but with each post i read, and each experience that i found myself relating too, I felt myself becoming more comfortable with this life and just... Feel more like me actually. Even with December depression weighing me down, curling up by a heater and gnawing onna dog toy got me through it, helped me cope when I've never been able to cope before.
Thank you guys for existing. This account has been my safe haven for all things therian, when i know no one im my stupid conservative town irl would accept me.
Happy new years to all the pups who love fireworks!! And to the ones that don't too (i understand, sometimes their noise makes me upset too)!! May this year be a new start for all of us!!
Why do I not have little paws and a snout? Or fur and a waggy little tail? where is my momma and the rest of my littermates?? where’s the milk, and the gentle nips, and the warm cuddling piles, and growing into strong dogs with my siblings? Where’s chasing squirrels and rolling around in dirt and sniffing everything unique scent :( it’s not fair.
It’s not fair.
Dog therians, most of Yall are probably already ahead of me when it comes to gearing tips but... Many onlime stores sell animal paw print socks like these (in lots of variaties too usually, cat paws, horse hooves, wolf paws, etc,) and they are SO good and affirming if you also just hate the sight of your own hands and feet, not having paws and little claws is a big thing for my dysphoria so looking down and at least seeing paws instead of feet is EVERYTHING to me.
Can we normalize animal behaviors and affections, Ik it's already been said but it kills me that I can't just have a pack of other dogs I can sleep in a pile with and do group groomibg/cleaning time with
THIS JUST IN: golden retriever gets ATTACKED by RUTHLESS cat in shocking video, take a look...
How it feels going home after a successful hunt art by me
Apart of my 5 year plan is becoming a wolf dog in goth boots
I just had the weirdest experience…. Can anyone offer an explanation? (It’s probably nothing tbh but I’m curious owo)
So, I’m scrolling through puppy tumblr because I’m having trouble sleeping when I come across this adorable image.
And I can’t explain why or even explain this experience fully but I suddenly felt like I had a muzzle. The front of my face, especially my mouth, got tingly(?) and I could “feel” my muzzle. Well it was more like imagining how it would feel but in a really really vivid way. I started to scroll away from the picture but once I noticed the feeling, I went back to try and look into this feeling more.
I could imagine how running my tongue along my dog teeth would feel and how lapping up water would feel and I felt soft tingles on my face where my muzzle was supposed to be. I opened my eyes (I had closed them to focus on the feeling more) and my flat face suddenly felt weird or foreign. I almost felt sad(?) that my face was so flat. I felt like the muzzle was supposed to be there, not my weird flat face. I put my hand up to touch my face and it made the muzzle feeling almost completely disappear (wish I hadn’t done that). It was like I squished it.
It almost reminds me of how therians describe phantom shifts but just not nearly as strong because it wasn’t like what I’d imagine a phantom limb feeling to be like. I don’t have a phantom limb lol but I feel like it would probably be a much stronger feeling.
This feeling was definitely something though… I’ve never experienced anything like this in my entire life. I’ve imagined I’ve had a tail and ears before but nothing like this.
Sorry for the quality of the writing here. I just had to get this down so I would remember as much as possible.
*wags tail excitedly* haiiii haii can I talk about my special interest?
My pupper snoot is in need of a boop. And maybe a little nose kiss. And maybe some head pats. And maybe some ear rubs. Or belly rubs. And maybe some chin scratches. And maybe a few "you're such a good boy" comments. And maybe
