i love being a herding dog getting to push my friends in the right direction when we go out it’s like the most species euphoria thing ever

Wicked is a story about two things first and foremost:

Finding community with and advocating for other marginalized people

therian culture is rearranging your pillows and blankets into nests or dens and setting your most precious stuffed animals into the center like theyre your pups

I don’t know if anyone can relate, but when I’m really busy and stressed my therianthropy kinda takes a backseat just like other things that make me happy.

I just can’t do things to connect to my theriotype when I have so many human things to do.

This kinda creates like a buildup of a background layer of species dysphoria that I then also have to ignore

It's so incredibly refreshing to come from tiktok where people are only talking about drama or purely doing quads to finding Tumblr where people are actually talking about their alterhumanity and how it affects them and how it makes them feel.

I know tiktok is mostly for gaining a following but it is still so nice especially when you can see something new in each post instead of just quads quads quads, talks about therianthropy, quads quads quads. I feel like I can connect to others experiences more on here and find out more about myself through more alterhuman talk.

Species dysphoria for me is like a haze, a mental fog that hangs over me. It sits on me like a weighted blanket. The feeling is constant and never ending.

I have this deep unsettling feeling that this body isn't right. It's uncomfortable. I need to change it to fit me. I need to be fully a cat, I need to anthropomorphic, I need to have my preferred limbs. I need it all.

I wish there was a way to cope like others have but nothing seems to work. I wish there was a cure or a fix. I love my body, I just wish my brain would accept this body.

"Guyysss... therians don't ACTUALLY think we're animals haha..." SHUT THE FUCK UP SHUT THE FUCK UP SHUT THE FUCK UP

At this point I prefer the company of those who are straight up physically nonhuman and are PROUD AND OPEN ABOUT THAT FACT, instead of YOU fuckers who tip-toe around your identity to make OTHER PEOPLE more comfortable.

GET MAD. BE ANIMALISTIC. WEAR A COLLAR. BARK AT PEOPLE WHO PISS YOU OFF. WEAR GEAR. DON'T WEAR GEAR. FIND YOUR FELLOW CREATURES. LEARN ABOUT THE START OF OUR COMMUNITY.

BE UNAPOLOGETICALLY SCARY AND INTIMIDATING TO NORMIES.

they call me the fearer. on account of having incredibly hyperespecific fears that could never ever come true. ever :}

[callsignsundance]

genuinely had the most insane random mental shift in the dressing rooms while i was shopping?? like what the fuck? it was crazy strong and i had to physically try to force myself back into a human mindset because my mum came back. then the most insane wave of species dysphoria? i'm crazy

[callsignsundance]

Hey, so, unfriendly reminder. If you...

Gatekeep therianthropy (tell someone they can't be a therian because it's physical, are young, don't behave like their theriotype, don't have species dysphoria, etc.)...

Bully other therians for having urges/behaviors you consider "abnormal" (atypical dysphoria, kink-related urges, crying spells due to species dysphoria, uncontrollable vocals, etc.)...

Make fun of another therian's theriotype (with bad intent)...

Shame another therian for having a lot of theriotypes...

Only support therians who don't do quads or wear gear...

Decide someone else isn't a therian for xyz just because you don't like their presentation of therianthropy...

Try to make jokes that make the community as a whole look bad (z00philia jokes, putting down another therian for the sake of a laugh, etc.)...

...then you are anti-therian!

It's always the same therianthropes who claim to hate anti-therians, yet will shit on physical therians like myself, or judge another therian for existing.

Here's to the beasts, the monsters, the creatures

The animals, the nonhumans, the cryptids, the changelings

A toast to the ostracized, the othered, the weird, the freaks

The common folk, the represented, the expected who are no less ethereal and wonderful

The rare, the elusive, the unspoken and uncommon, who are no less loved and important

Let us celebrate with all of our voices

Let us dance the night away under a sky full of shimmering stars

And bask in who we are

Unashamed; proud

Let us lift each other up and sing the songs of our souls and speak in ways only we can understand

Tonight, we shall celebrate being us.
