Does anyone else have their animalistic instincts suddenly activated just in everyday life over normal situations?

My goose instincts tend to go mayday over random events for example; for my birthday last month my friend got me a dancing goose toy. The second it was in my hands and it started moving I suddenly felt a deep sort of motherly drive? The same happened the other day, I was watching videos of geese. One of which was a gosling walking along a car park, I had to turn the video off because it was genuinely so stressful watching an unsupervised gosling walking around cars (parked cars but nonetheless).

When I feel threatened I flick my head to ruffle my feathers, a behaviour geese do to make themselves larger and therefore more intimidating. I often find myself doing sentry behaviours whenever I’m with people I care about (as in constantly watching for threat). When people are threatening me I find myself directing my face up at them similarly to how geese will point their beaks as a sign of aggression.

At certain times I feel a strong call to migrate as well oddly. If I ever disappear in a target you know why (tHe miGraTiOn cALLed). I can be quite the pain in the winter as I spend a considerable amount of time staring wistfully at the sky.

This is just instincts in general for me, not really from a particular one of my forms, but I don’t allow things with “incorrect” scents into my sleeping space. Sometimes when I’m holding food and water I get the sudden urge to go hide them somewhere. I am also very particular with my nest building and the people who can touch my nest.

Instinctually I feel the need to provide for people. I always carry food in my bag so my friends are never hungry. Which isn’t something that is entirely nonhuman in its nature, rather the reasoning behind it is very much connected to animalistic aspects of my mind.

like yes !! u can just be a lil creature !! and u can even get a lil therian w it if u want to

[confused-critter]

Me.

come on guys yuo can tell me. How many of you googled "how to become a wolf" when you were 12

[confused-critter]

EXACTLY!!!!!

Stop demonizing lycanthropy to make therianthropy "sound better"

Stop demonizing a mental illness to make your identity feel "more valid"

STOP DEMONIZING LYCANTHROPY

We should be showing support to them.

I'm not a lycanthrope but I fully support those who are struggling with it 🫶

You guys aren't deserving of this demonization :(

coining the joke term "Oddbody shift" from oddbodies furbies. It's when your envisage or phantom shifts make you have bizarre body maps.

I, for exemple, am currently feeling like a whole bird with human arms sprouting from around the chest area due to envisage shifts, which.

ah yes. the serious nature of therianthropy.

littol dudes!

Absolutely not a new observation but i love that the toki pona word for animal, "soweli," is written like this

fuck man that sure is

This zoo internship is insane, what do you mean I get more species euphoria by sweeping, raking, and shoveling for 7 hours straight than I do from actually working with ungulates??? I should drop out and become a construction worker

[confused-critter]

I'm craving a squirrel for some dammed reason and I don't know why but I know it's you you little shit! *stares at kintype*

thinking about the foods that my kins make me crave rn. would do anything for some fish, seaweed and raw quail eggs

[confused-critter]

honestly? Same. I'm not wolfkin, I'm a shapeshifter, and I kinda do feel the same way here. When I actually am wolf (one of my more common shifts) I do feel like some sort of werewolf.

I saw a post in which someone wrote that a good way to trigger a sensory shift is to listen to the “can you smell me” part of Wolfwalkers (this is a version I absolutely love and it makes me so shifty every time). And yet… it only left me teary eyed, because I’ll never be able to shift into a wolf, despite being in a predominately coyote mood today. I’ll never be able to actually physically shift. Ever. I’m stuck in this body. And at times I don’t know how to cope with that. Despite the fact that I’m “human” as a werewolf, having both a “human” and wolf form and being incomplete without each, it’s not the same. I was meant to shift between two beings.

[confused-critter]

Yup. That's me.

i wanted to do the silly trend too

Hey um! I’m not trying to support discourse or anything and you’re hella free to delete this ask, but jadeeyedwere is making the rounds again in the tags. Idk if you’d wanna let people know or not..I don’t wanna feed the troll or anything yk but innocent folks are reblogging posts from them and it’s concerning me! Like I said totally feel free to delete this if you need!

Ugh, for real? No, making people aware of actual bestialists is not discourse.

For those unaware, jadeeyedwere is, if not an actual bestialist herself, then at absolute minimum a supporter of bestiality. She openly identifies as a "zoo therian" and associates with and was previously (possibly still? I believe they're no longer together) the partner of mr. missing stair LycanTheory himself:

(Archived edition her blog to source the screenshot.)

She also helped co-found the site Therian Underground with LycanTheory, a forum specifically for "zoosexual" therians. (This Beware is primarily about Therian Guide and LycanTheory, but the fourth paragraph provides sources for this, and the rest provides sources for how awful LycanTheory is and how open he is and has been for years about his bestiality.)

Let me be very clear: this is not about zoophilia, which is something you can't control having and thus not a moral issue. This is not about feral furry porn, which hurts no one. This is about bestiality, actually acting on that and sexually assaulting a real animal, and the support thereof.

Don't go and harass these people. That will help no one; if they were affected by harassment, they wouldn't still be open about this after all this time. It doesn't even look like Jade is active on Tumblr right now, it just sounds like people are finding and reblogging old posts. But don't platform them either. Block them. Lock them out of your spaces. These are unapologetic bestialists trying to use therianthropy to justify it. They are not safe to be around.

An hommage to an essay that always felt more like a poem to me.

[confused-critter]

lofted bed is so cool. like yeah oooooo im sleepin on the cliffs overlookin the sea so hard. im a creature

[confused-critter]

Huh. Well, my situation's complicated. I started questioning about 2 years ago, and it wasn't until about an year ago that I actually nailed down an actual identity. Part of it was because I was shapeshifterkin and ended up switching kintypes so much I became confused.
