ELKELKELK!! i try to know my best bout cervidae but that comes with some downsides- like totally not correcting every misnamed deer (FR THO U CAN EASILY TELL THE DIFFRENCE BETWEEN CARIBOU,ELK N MULE DEER IFUWOHGDKMSA T_T)

yes!! i do yearly visits to oregon (family stuff lolol) and got to see elk once :D also got to do a sorta safari ride at a zoo and got to pick up a shed elk antler (jeez they are so heavy oml spikes n females are lucky)

i dont mind being seen as both, as long as i dont give nonhumans a bad look :)

from phycological to spiritual beliefs i try to make myself understand how i got here-sometimes being a therian will leave you will more questions then answers and ya gotta sorta stick with what you got

yee! i love taking long walks since i live near a protected forest, with my dogs and family it sometimes feels like i have my own herd too!

honestly kinda alot, i was about a tween when i awakened and i was really confused about my body, sexuality, etc at the time and discovering i was a therian was another rock on the pile

nope but i wish i did, it honestly sounds like a wonderful experience from what ive heard

so many things i cant even name a few ;-;

wait can elk even be owned by humans- *google* ELK CAN BE RIDDEN????

well i meannn like i own animal stuff but not elk stuff-

i love 'howling' sometimes w/ the hand muzzle technique it reminds me of bugling <3 i also sometimes like to leave subtle nonhuman things out in public to let ppl know they arent alone

yes very much ok next question

idk i feel like the gender just randomly swaps at times like 'oh nice i have horns today'

YESSIR I HAVE A WHOLE YT PLAYLIST BOUT THEM SONGS

el skipparoo cuz i aint a polytherian

i havent seen or met another elk therian *SOBS*

yea i told em while i was young, they support and still treat me as a normal being and let me do my thing

mmmm horse poo + goose poo + sap probs

nope still baggy hoodies n whatever pants i grab :P

Made a therian/alterhuman ask! Feel free to ask away or use this!

better leave your door closed cuz i will be runnin outta there like a untrained dog >:)))

frfr tho i would just zoom to the forest to find an elk herd, be lost for ages and loose touch with humanity and then live out my dream of bein a floggin elk for once and living offa the shrubs n stuff

fun fact: elk chew on bones and swallow them whole sometimes,i think antlers too! its like a wild saltlick with protein, minerals and calcium! (plz dont actually eat bones it aint healthy for our human body)

CAN YOU TELL I LIKE MOODBOARDS/PNG ART YET??? >:)

lil stories on em: no u was just me being bored the clan cat ones were for clangen stuff that i never actually commited to and a new path was a discord warriors rp server that died :P moodboards were oc moodboards i think- riot sign was a worldbuilding project i gave up on wolf was a pfp for a discord server i did all the coyote ones were for a friend who was a coyote therian, but now they can be for yall :D the elk one was for myself but yall can use it XD also taking requests cuz im bored- (they will prob be done soley on boredness)

Bubbles!! Omg hi I follow you on DA and recognised your username, no way you’re the one making those beautiful symbols oml!! /pos

also may I request a secretary bird moodboard like the cross fox one, with themes of sunrise/sunset and freedom please? Thank you so much!

Haha, tysm!

Tumblr is ironically a better place for artists to share their art then DA ever was TwT

Anyway, this was super fun to make! Hope I got the vibe right!

If anyone else wants to request anything through my asks please specify if you want a moodboard/wallpaper (like this one) or a symbol! If you don’t I can’t make you anything!! <33

@starclansfavorite

Hope I got the vibe right! I was a little unsure about it :3

Still, I had a ton of fun!

If might be making some more of these when I get bored, so let me know an animal, an aesthetic, and any other info and I might get around to it X3 (you can do this through my asks or comments here!)

You can use this for anything, backgrounds, wallpapers, whatever, but credit is preferred!

Therian products!!

I've gathered all the therian symbols I've made and thrown them into RedBubble, so now YOU can get them for yourself and show off your own theriotypes!

And it's great timing to get them as well cuz RedBubble currently has a sale on!

https://www.redbubble.com/people/f10atingbubbles/shop?artistUserName=F10atingBubbles&collections=3795926&iaCode=all-departments&sortOrder=relevant

Any amount of support would mean the world to me and help me continue making other free art for you here as well! <3

✨ Reblogs/Reposts greatly appreciated ✨

@coywolfsyndicate

I did this in class instead of my work :3

Might not be the exact aesthetic you were looking for, but I tried!

@coyotecrash @foxpopzop @floofy-lemonz @kiaqtexistuku @dirty-c0yot3 You guys asked for it!

Coyotes have such a range of colours and I think I may of made this one too orange, but I didn't want it to look like the wolf TwT

✨ reblogs greatly appreciated ✨

still accepting requests for other species!

and a reminder, you can use these for basically whatever, pfps, moodboards, all that, but credit is preferred!

Made a Silver fox therian board cuz I was bored and away from my drawing laptop

Had fun with this so if you guys wanna give me a species and an aesthetic, i might make one of these for you when I get bored again!

And feel free to use this for whatever you like (wallpapers, backgrounds, etc), credit is preferred tho!

✨reposts greatly appreciated✨

Sliver fox therian symbol requested by @f0xpawzz

if any one else has some requests for other species/breeds, lmk! I'm having a lot of fun with them X3

oh, and feel free to use these for basically whatever you want! pfp, moodboards, etc! Credit is preferable tho <33

shameless self promo time im attempting to post therian content on tiktok more yall should like, totally go check me out ngl 👀👀

developing a kintype/theriotype via subconscious imprinting is actually so funny when u think about it, this shit deadass like when martha ate alphabet soup and suddenly learned to speak english somehow

Otherlink is valid, "chosen therians" are not.

The definition of therianthropy is that it must be involuntary on some level. That's literally like, the basic principle the identity is founded upon. I am absolutely not one for label policing, but that is main core experience of therianthropy. Saying you're "chosen therian" is the equivalent of saying you're "chosen transgender" or "chosen neurodivergent", and what exactly does that start to sound an awful lot like?

cough cough transid cough

"Chosen therians" are super not welcome here lol, please stop misusing our terminology to make yourself feel like part of a community you have no experience truly being part of. I promise you being otherlink is just as awesome.

Sincerely, a therian and otherlinker <3

( p.s. I would also just like to throw it out there that the inventor of the term "chosen therian" ((cwaligo / dxq.therian)) is a 22 year old who owns a discord server full of predominantly 11-15 year olds who frequently romanticize and give each other tips on how to self harm and develop eating disorders, I wish I was kidding, I was briefly in it and reported a solid ten accounts for being under 13 and/or promoting dangerous behaviors before I got banned. So uh yeah.)

Physical therians are valid,

Chosen therians are valid,

Mentally ill therians are valid,

Delusional therians are valid,

Traumatized therians are valid,

And all of you need to SHUT THE FUCK UP about them before I start making blocklists of your pathetic asses.

Im gonna say smth that a lot of yall aren't gonna like but whatever Im tired of nobody talking about it.

The therian community's obsession with zoos is stunting a lot of the cultural growth that we could be having rn.

Soooo many of us are so goddamn busy with trying to prove that we're not zoos or accusing each other of being zoos or shouting from every rooftop available that we're different than zoos, when we could be doing so many more productive things.

You wanna keep potentially dangerous individuals out of the community, I understand that, really I do. But do you wanna know how many animals are saved from abuse by us dogpiling (no pun intended) on someone who incorporates their nonhumanity into kink? Or who speaks honestly about genitalia dysphoria, or instincts to court members of the species they identify as? Or hell, who even acknowledges that there is an overlap between therianthropy and zoo attraction? Zero.

It doesn't really protect anyone, all it does is prevent us from speaking honestly about our experiences, diving into the nitty gritty of what it actually means to be an animal living as and among humans, out of fear that something we told to someone in confidence is going to end up in a google doc next week. No, wanting to have nonhuman body parts does not automatically make you attracted to biological animals. No, being attracted to alterhumans over humans does not automatically make you attracted to biological animals. No, wishing you had a nonhuman family does not automatically make you attracted to biological animals. The only thing that makes you attracted to biological animals is being attracted to biological animals. It truly is not rocket science.

I haven't seen it be as much of an issue here on Tumblr because I guess there's overall less mob mentality and beings are more capable of using critical thinking skills, it's just been frustrating watching so many of the younger/newer members of the community turn into the "crucify zoos at any and all costs" club and trying to strong arm all forms of animalistic sexual expression out of the community to avoid any possible association with zoos from outsiders (spoiler alert: you could sanitize the entire community to the point of chemical burns and uneducated doorknobs would still swear up and down that every last one of us are zoos)

hey so like literally tell me why i casually talking with one of my friends earlier today after class, and out of nowhere she started telling me about tumblr therians and werewolves, and how she had to explain to her sister one time what a therian was because she accidentally interacted with one our posts and it flooded her dash with therian content

WHILE I WAS WEARING MY THETA DELTA NECKLACE

deadass just stood there like

"damn that's so crazy lmao"

jumpscared bruh

I had a super vivid dream last night about Wolfbloods/being a Wolfblood and it's been making me ridiculously dysphoric all day.

Honestly, the worst part isn't even my lack of non-human biology or physical traits. Yes it hurts not having my paws and my tail and not being able to shift under the full moon, don't get me wrong that causes plenty of dysphoria on its own.

But the worst part for me is knowing that if Wolfblood's were actually real they'd most likely look down on me and see me as some kind of fanatical poser, rather than one of them. Idk why it bothers me so much, they're not real so it shouldn't matter. But it really does get under my skin. I hate that I'd have no way to truly prove that I'm like them, if at the very least on the inside.

And maybe I'd feel better if I was able to study and learn more about Wolfbloods and their culture, get a sense of what it's like to actually live as one. But there's so little canonical information about what Wolfblood society is like, their history, their customs. Anything that is explicitly stated or shown in the show tends to be vague or brief, so Im just kind of left trying to piece together a puzzle that's missing most of its parts. It almost feels like Im the last of a species in a way, picking through the ruins of what others left behind. It just saddens me to know how utterly disconnected I am from where I feel like I belong and that there's nothing I can do about it. There's a scene in season 2 (i think) where a character loses her nonhuman abilities, and she longingly watches from a hillside as her pack shifts under the full moon while she's forced to remain in her human form, and every time I watch it I cant help but see myself in it on such an intense level.

Idk do any other otherkin/fictionkin ever feel like this? Does anyone have recommendations for how to cope with it, or more specifically if there's any more extensive Wolfblood lore out there somewhere?

Just wanted to throw this out there rq but just to make it clear I love receiving messages from folks and am super duper okay with DM's !! Id like to be more personally involved with the community beyond just shitposts and reblogs lmao, and I have so many genuinely amazing and cool mutuals I'd love to get to know better so if anyone ever wants to start up a convo in DM's, ask me questions, or send random kintype posts accompanied by a "you" message, Im 1000% down for that :]

"hey youve been kinda quiet what's on your mind?"

me: "oh nothing i was just zoning out"

This list is very much a work in progress, if you have any suggestions about changes or additions I should make just shoot me an ask or leave a comment, thank you ^^ <3

ooooooo i love this sm it's such a cute idea, OP you're a genius :3

and then what if the gift shop also sold stuff (stickers, jewelry, books, etc) made by independent/freelance alterhuman artists to help support them, and there could be a whiteboard for folks to doodle on while they wait for their orders <3

I remember years ago I dreamed of opening an alterhuman cafe. I imagined a little paradise where all species could get together and just chill. We would serve drinks and snacks for specific theriotypes, there would be a little gift shop selling tails and stuff, a lounge area upstairs where you can make a den out of pillows, an outdoor quadrobics course etc. It’s not something that’s really possible, but it’s a nice idea I think.

Poll time! :3 Interested in hearing community thoughts on this
