Activities for nonhumans. Tested by me.

In the morning, stretch. Take time stretching every muscle and joint to the best of your ability, even if its only for 5 minutes. Take up a yoga routine if you wish. This has helped immensely with my chronic joint and muscle pain.

Sit in the sun for a few minutes. Soak it in, enjoy the slowness of the world for a second.

Meditate. Learn to be in your own mind. Learn to be bored. Sit in the woods and listen to whats around you. See and feel from a standstill. Learning boredom has helped me curb some of my ADHD symptoms

Journal. Decorate jt with stickers. Make lists and notes and write blurbs about your day or your species. Practice introspection, gratitude, positive affirmations. Look at things objectively, but also analyze your emotions. Chronicle our history as a community, write everything that you can find about nonhumans down. History will thank you. Log your shifts, your days, the weather.

Take up a workout routine. Calisthenics is the poison I picked; it focuses on moving your body instead of moving a separate weight. It builds muscle you can use for a range of activities rather than a few set scenarios.

Quadrobics leaves too much room for injury if you go any farther than bear crawls. Most people parroting tips for quadrobics are children with no background in exercise. My alternative is going for a run; it gets out energy and achieves everything quadrobics would.

Go into the woods. Use the 5-4-3-2-1 technique to test your senses in an environment you've never been in. Get curious, take pictures and note the species of flora and fauna in your area. Scout the area for unique formations and spots. Doing this has increased my confidence as a visually impaired man tenfold; I've learned how to use hearing to my advantage in most aspects of my life.

Go swimming in a creek. Even if your species doesn't swim, it can be euphoric. Dry yourself out on a rock in the sun afterwards.

Hell, just look towards going camping or backpacking for more than a few hours. Save for it, plan for it, prepare for it. Camping alone builds independence, camping with friends builds community.

Check out INaturalist. Its a website where others post pictures of flora/fauna, including the general location of where they found it. You don't need to post anything, just being on there and seeing the kinds of organisms in your area is enough.

Start a recipe book of things your species could and would eat. Even if they're just ingredients, its still a good activity.

Connect to your community. Join clubs and groups in your area. Volunteer at places that need volunteers. If you work, unionize. A real life community is essential for your mind. Lacking community is probably why you feel like shit.

Don't just stockpile gear, make your own. Don't resrict yourself to masks; ears, tails, collars, hand paws, feet paws, claws, wings, beaks, scales, fins, all things you could make with materials that lie around your house unused.

Apply makeup and body paint to mimic your species' markings. Enjoy the process as much as you enjoy the outcome. Look towards getting tattoos if wanted.

Sea salt spray can give your hair a wild look, if thats something you want. It can also cause it to change color slightly.

And, if possible, look to take supplements that cause hair and nail growth, if youre a hair/nail having being.

Drop your shaving routine if you wish. Shaving isn't really hygeine. Or implement one if your species is smooth. I like to shave in similar patterns that cats would be shaved in.

Take the time to clean yourself beyond a simple body and hair wash. Deep clean everything and emerge a new being.

Fuck it. Use horse shampoo.

Let yourself Feel. Suppressing emotions is a human construct made to weaken you, made to make you subservient. If you're angry, be angry. If you're sad, be sad. If something makes you happy, never stop doing it.

Let shifts come and go. Acknowledge them. Log them. Never supress them. They'll only emerge later.

Accept yourself as you are. Affirm yourself. You are enough as you are and you dont need to do anything to prove yourself.

Redecorate your spaces. Revamp your nest, light some candles or put on a humidifier. Introduce plants, crystals, and generally outdoor things into your indoor living space.

Clothing is everything. I find that clothing I can't freely move in makes me dysphoric, so I stick to tank tops and light sweatpants. I dress light and I show skin. Similarly, find the styles of dress you find comforting and euphoric.

Scent your area. Spray something around your house, wear a perfume you like. The stronger the smell, the better.

Yo, canines and carnivores. If yall get meat cravings and want a quick and easy snack (assuming ur not vegan or lactose intolerant), just get some ham or baloney or any meat you dont have to cook and wrap it around some cheese, acts as a nice and easy, dog-like treat to ease your meat cravings!

[glassdiscohouses]

i do not belong here.

[glassdiscohouses]

I've been getting a lot of random wing phatom shifts lately (usually as in my arms becoming wings, mostly feathered like) despite having no connection to any bird or bat theriotypes, which leads me to my first (of possibly many) kinsiderations.

And of course, it's the one dragon like creature that has like 3 sentences on its wiki page, no info anywhere, and like 20 pictures on google lol

Hello fellow hyper sexual Apagender :3

Howdy! :D

Tail Attachment Step by Step

_______________

This is a step by step for attaching your tail to your body. I first encountered the act of doing so this year through an imgur posting from 2020:

I suggest that if there aren't any places where you can wear a tail or have one on without it being pulled or caught on something, don't use skin adhesive to attach it and instead go to the suiting route (belt buckle or waist band.)

Im going to say right now that I don't have experience with this but I have applied silicone and adhesive before and understand what to do, but it hasn't been a tail nor do I have the tools to show that complete process so I will be substituting it with videos and links.

_______

BEGINNING

As i said, I dont have the tools to do this, this is just a visual aid for those who do !

Go grab your tail.

Pretend this is a tail !

Check what's attached to the tail and how it would normally be attached. It's preferable to have one like these hooked clips:

Or the coil keychains with the hooked clips:

These hooked ones are flexible and easy to move around, and adding the coil is to prevent harm when or if the tail is accidentally pulled or stuck on something. It is basically a second line of defense. You may cover the coil with something like a decoration, clothing, tail sleeve, or fur.

For the attachment, I recommend getting Pros-Aide adhesive and the Pros-Aide remover. When using, make sure you wear gloves or apply with a tool rather than your hands !!!

________

SCAR SHEET ROUTE:

If you're not comfortable with pros-aide, applying a silicone scar sheet and putting silicone adhesive on the scar sheet (not your skin) where you are to put the metal ring for the tail may work. I'm not familiar with this process but finding the right kind of scar sheets that are really durable, safe and silicone, and need a remover product is best.

This is said metal ring that should go on the scar sheet:

Attach the metal ring to the scar sheet with the silicone adhesive by gluing it down. wait until it is fully dry and then take the sticky part of the scar sheet that is supposed to go on your skin and place it on your lower back.

_______

PROS-AIDE ROUTE:

If you are comfortable with pros-aide, then you'd have to get a skin-safe silicone base (something like a prosthetic or something with a flat, flexible surface that can sit on your lower back, preferably something lightweight and thin)

Once you have those items, attach the hook clip or metal ring to the silicone base with a silicone adhesive. Seen here:

Then, apply the pros-aide to the other side of the base (or a flap on the base) as seen in this video:

And then carefully attach it to your lower back.

Both cases should look like this:

Guess who just had their first ever physical werewolf shift last night!!!! It was probably one of the most aching/mentally exhausting/ weirdest feelings ever. My body still feels weird after that experience.

[glassdiscohouses]

I've seen other nonhumans drawling themselves, so I finally got around to drawing my Theriotypes. I love being an artist and being able to draw myself :)) Anyway, heres what I look like. (Melanistic) Maned Wolf / a Black dog.

transspecies transitioning guide i made.

hopefully this helps some of yall, i worked hard on it. i also don't endorse anything or any dangerous behavior or handling of tools incorrectly. be diligent, be smart.

Hai :3 in your intro post, you mentioned being apagender, and I’m wondering what that is, if you would not mind explaining? I like to ask the source instead of google, so I know what it really is, not a ai, watered-down version. Thanks :3

Howdy and thank you for your question as not many others know about Apagender so im more than happy to explain it!

TLDR: a term under the nonbinary unbrella where one does not care about their gender or what you refer to them as.

Long version: A gender identity where the individual either does not care about their gender or does not identify with any gender mainly because of a lack of care or interest. It's different from agender/nonbinary/cassgender as we can acknowledge our binary sex and don't necessarily see it as 'being born as the wrong gender or not being any gender'. We are just indifferent and dont care for labels. I identify with it as I do not care how others see me, i have been called a man, a woman, a thing, I dont care because its not important to me how others see me, when others ask what gender I am, i just say "I'm a female I guess." Or "I'm a woman or whatever." Because biologically I am, and I dont mind that, it's just not a big deal for me like it is for others because of my nonhuman relations and apathetic view on gender itself.

If it interests you further, then i always encourage you to do your own research as well, but that's basically the jist of it. I hope this helps!
