don’t want you to treat me like an animal, you’d demean me like I’m beneath you, you’d look at me like I couldn’t possibly understand the world around me, you’d keep me in the cramped corners and the small enclosures and wait till I died.

I want you to treat me like an animal, I want you to give me space and study my body language, I want you to listen to the fucking hissing and rumbling of a warning, take note of my territory and space and treat it with caution and respect.

I am an animal, I am also worth knowing.

“How do I make my mark on alterhuman tumblr?” Literally just write a paragraph about your kintype and someone will like it. Literally share your experiences and someone will reblog it

It starts with you being open and sharing your thoughts with the folks that are just like you

GAAAH the therian/nonhuman community never ceases to amaze me. There's literally the coolest fucking people, creatures, characters, gods, angels, items- you name it. ITS JUST SO COOL!

Sitting over here kicking my feet bc a deity followed me back. scrolling my following and seeing what my dinosaur friend is up to. i just- GAAH

not to mention just how welcoming everybody is, it's wonderful. in all this adversity in such a cruel world we live in, we have a (semi)safe space. I wanna see this community grow and seeing people talk about how it used to be EVEN BETTER?? GODD we need to get some of that back.

I don’t frequent the TikTok therian community much, but I really do enjoy the idea of a “therian summer camp” that I see posted about on there. There’s something so fun and sweet about it.

Cabins for housing all the kinds of animals that come, you could stay with your own species or be with all different kinds of animals you would’ve never met otherwise

Birds nesting in the top bunks, foxes and rabbits creating their dens in the bottom bunks

Activities that teach how to cook and add new species-appropriate dishes to your diet

Lots of hiking and time in nature, reflective meditation time out in the trees or water for those who want a peaceful activity

Being able to behave naturally without feeling bad or weird, because everyone there is an animal! Everyone would see it as normal when/if you were to respond with barks or squeaks or yips or meows or whatever your instinct is

Drawing and trading little portraits of your fellow camp mates, going to arts and crafts activities and making friendship bracelets and tie dye T-shirts or gear like masks and ears

Music and dance done by community members, poems read and art shared with each other

The last night could be held on a full moon, with everyone coming together for performances and food and play under the moonlight 🩶

It’s so fun to think about

[confused-critter]

Yeah!

I think a cool thing therians should start promoting is donating to conservation centers related to their theriotype. I think it would be a really good way to feel a connection to your theirotype, knowing that you contributed to the safety and nurturing of your species.

I JUST SAW A THERIAN OUT IN PUBLIC?????

Okay so my school has this cafe nearby that during the school year I’d frequently go to study and work on stuff. I went for the first time during summer break today with my mom for a nice outing and while we were checking out I noticed that the barista (who was wearing short sleeves today instead of the average long sleeves) had a tattoo on his upper arm that was half covered up by his shirt. A tattoo of the theta delta, but I was thinking “heyyy maybe I’m wrong, but couldn’t hurt to ask” so when my mom walked off to sit her bag down I asked “Is that a theta delta?” And this dude’s face LIT UP. So my mom was walking back so I just hurriedly went “Me too me too! Wolfdog.” And he replied “Grizzly!”

So in short: the barista at the cafe I got o everyday is a grizzly bear. I love my life.

Happy International Wolf Day to my fellow wolves!

Don't talk about medical things when you don't know anything about them. Don't try to educate people when you're yourself uneducated. Don't diagnose strangers with disorders that don't actually exist.

I'm mainly talking about clinical zoanthropy and tiktok (therian?) kids making it into something it isn't, demonizing it to no end in efforts to paint theriantropy in better light. Sorry to bring it to you, but normies won't accept you better if you spit on others. Not to mention, clinical zoanthropy is very rare (and poorly researched) and doesn't exist on its own. There is no zoanthropy in the DSM-5. In the little papers we have on the issue, it is always or almost always part of different diagnosis such as schizophrenia, psychotic disorders or certain personality disorders. Do you smell the sanism there? Yeah, it's crazy. Do not diagnose people with it, just because they're transspecies or physically alterhuman. It is not your place to do so. Attacking those people will not make you look better. Just stop.

"No, but we don't actually think we're animals, we're better than those other people!!" Just shut up.

I’ve seen a few posts now about a therian/alterhuman/otherkin/etc summer camp. And I have read those posts over and over again imagining that it’s a reality. Being able to be myself around others and enjoy the summer and feel like a kid again while also feeling like the canine I am.

Imaging waking up at camp, you find yourself in a cabin themed to reflect your animal or creature type. Your cabin is decorated with elements that make you feel at home in your therian identity—whether it’s the soft earth-toned bedding of the Wolf cabin, the treetop lofts of the Bird cabin, or the cozy nooks of the Fox cabin.

As the early morning light filters in, you can hear the distinct sounds of your cabin mates stirring. The air is alive with the scents of the forest and the sounds of nature. You stretch and prepare for the day's activities.

Breakfast is a lively affair in the communal dining area, where you get to enjoy critter-specific foods. The Wolf cabin might enjoy hearty meats and proteins, while the Rabbit cabin has an array of fresh fruits and vegetables. The meals are tailored to celebrate the diverse dietary needs and preferences of each group.

After breakfast, the fun begins. You head out to the expansive campgrounds where you can play fetch, swim in the crystal-clear lake, or run around on all fours, embracing the joy and freedom of your therian nature. The campgrounds are designed to provide ample space and opportunities for everyone to engage in activities that resonate with their inner animal.

In the afternoons, there are craft workshops where you can create gear inspired by your therian identity. Whether it’s making leather collars, feathered headpieces, or paw gloves, these sessions allow you to express your creativity and connect with others through shared projects.

As the day winds down, the camp gathers around a large bonfire. The flickering flames and crackling wood create a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. Laughter, stories, and songs fill the air as campers share their experiences and bond over their shared identities. The night sky, dotted with stars, adds to the magic of the moment.

As you retire to your cabin, the sense of camaraderie and belonging lingers, filling you with a profound sense of peace and fulfillment. This is a place where you can truly be yourself, surrounded by a community that understands and celebrates your therian spirit.

when i tell you i love my boyfriend so goddamn much- when i started questioning ferrets i texted him right?

-

and just the simple understanding of it could be a misidentification of a theriotype or a unrelated new one made me feel so AHFYBBGSSD- i yap A LOT so i don’t expect him to remember everything but he does and it’s genuinely so lovely

also he’s started calling me ‘ferret boy’ and dubbing my mischievous behavior as ‘ferret coded’ and bro i’m so excited to spend the rest of my life with someone that genuinely cares and understands

Fact #13 - A Helmet larva starts out as fully aquatic, mirroring its ancestral form. Larvae possess gills which they use to breathe. They grow at an extremely fast rate, going from roughly the size of a grape to the size of an apple in three days. This is when they are big enough to assimilate with a host pup and have fully developed their connector organ (known as an integrator).

Once they have assimilated, the gills lose all functioning as the integrators link up, solidifying the bond. The Helmet is now able to obtain all its oxygen from the Host. As the Helmet’s skin hardens, the gills begin to disappear. Within three weeks of assimilation they will no longer be visible.
