Furry events are a pretty good bet! I see a lot of folk that find one or two therians at fur cons and similar. Ren fares as well. Generally looking around any non conservative/white supremacist alt spaces might find you some therians!,

How do you go about finding therians in your area? I would give anything to talk to a nonhuman irl, but I’m in fucking Alabama so I assume the majority aren’t very out about it. I’ve thought about getting a necklace or something with the symbol, but I don’t rlly want to wear that every day and also have to dodge questions about it.

Wait why is everyone talking like tumblr is dying again

Webkinz or Animal Jam, but my first proper Tumblring fandom activity was probably Detroit Become Human. That or Dragon Age I can’t remember.

[aviancanine]

I’ve decided to try being upfront about being a therian on my fandom blog that I’ve made, @canidtalks. I’m really worried but I feel like hiding it is kind of disingenuous :[

[aviancanine]

I do want some other gear forms but I don’t have a desire for masks or to do quads, it’s very normal and you don’t need to prove anything to anyone!!

any other therians never rly have a desire to wear masks or do quadrobics?

respect to people who do (especially quadrobics, it looks so difficult lol) but it doesn’t feel very appealing to me at all.

i personally feel like my therianthropy is much less outward expression (like aforementioned things) and much more…. laying in bed, completely still, closing my eyes, and feeling a deep, painful yearning for something beyond the human experience.

honestly, with the big wave of people on here talking about doing quadrobics and gear and whatnot, it has me kind of feeling a bit insecure.

like am i not doing enough to “prove” that i’m a therian? should i want to make myself a mask and learn how to run on all fours? should i want to buy a tail i can wear?

bad imposter syndrome over here i suppose

Isn’t it wonderful that an artist can create a song that to someone else is foundational and representative of their very soul?

[aviancanine]

This is my problem with considering more transitional elements for myself, that’s there all the time even among people or in spaces I want to stealth in.

On one hand having paw pad tattoos on the hands is sick as hell and euphoria inducing. On the other hand. Job. And college. And meeting like anybody.

Yes, but I’m not entirely nonhuman!

I have a question for other Alterhumans/nonhumans. Do you consider yourself a person? I saw a post saying they think of animals as people and It made me curious.

I’m not copinglink because my identity is completely involuntary. Just because it’s from trauma doesn’t mean that it isn’t involuntary?? I’m also not a pet regresser because I don’t…. regress.. I just don’t do that. Nonhuman behavior from trauma doesn’t always equal regression lmao. It’s not just that we’re still valid in our identities but that those statements are just completely wrong 😂

I've seen a lot of people saying that alterhumans that are alterhuman bc of trauma aren't valid :<

So to anyone whose alterhumanity was caused by trauma!! You're super valid and don't let anyone else tell you otherwise!!!

You can be therian because of trauma! You can be otherkin because of trauma! You can be fictionkin because of trauma!

Alterhumanity caused by trauma isn't automatically copinglink or pet regression or whatever else!! We're therian, otherkin, and fictionkin, all because of TRAUMA!!! These aren't copinglinks or regression!! We very much see ourselves as our theriotypes/kins!! The fact that we do because of trauma doesn't mean we're any less alterhuman than someone who isn't!!

Respect kins and therians who are alterhuman because of trauma! We are alterhumans too!!

Sometimes thinking of what to say on a therianthropy themed blog is hard, because most of the time my therianthropy is just:

Woke up as a cat. Went to school as a cat. Ate dinner as a cat. Drew a picture as a cat. Went to gymnastics practice as a cat. Fell asleep as a cat.

[aviancanine]

I go rrrmmgfof. Gwwawrr. Mmmrrpfh. Wawaamm.

Also rrup. rup. rrarraAWAWAWAAaa. rup.

important research question: do you go bark, woof, arf, or ruff

you can tell a lot about a person by their dog noise of choice, trust me
