I went to a convention today!

it was so good! I saw another therian and complimented their mask and they gave me and my bf a sticker each, it was so cute! I love going to conventions, this is more of an off topic rant but the atmosphere at cons is great, you can feel so cringe and so free CRIES

Hello hello again! Do you all like questionnaires?

Well, for a while, I've been documenting my own clinical lycanthropy because I want to know why and leaving it at "it's just a symptom of psychosis" isn't a good enough answer for me

Then, I had an idea...

This questionnaire, totally optional to do and anonymous, has basic questions about how Lycanthropy is for you. This is to help me try to understand causes for clinical lycanthropy and eventually put together a paper with my findings to help educate others and bring more acceptance to lycan/zoanthropes. (but as you can tell, this is mostly focused just on lycanthropy)

Feel free to share this around outside of Tumblr as well! Just make sure it stays in clinical Lycanthrope circles, though, I don't want trolls messing with the data ~w~

I CANT STOP PLAYING ANIMAL JAM

[mythicalfelidae]

I know about the therian theta-delta and the otherkin symbol (idk what it's called unfortunately, if it even has a name) but is there a symbol for werewolves/lycanthropes specifically? If there isn't, I'm gonna make one

To most animal nonhumans, I highly recommend this PC game called The Wilds! It’s still in Early Access so it’s a bit funky at times, but it’s very good. $5 on Steam or you can torrent it. It’s an indie game developed by one man only, so I highly recommend supporting it.

It’s an animal simulator, and you can play as a grey wolf, grizzly bear, wild boar, mountain lion, red fox, raven, bald eagle, moose, red deer, or raccoon.

You hunt, find a mate, make a den, have pups, there’s unlockable skills, abilities, your animal has its own traits, and you can even customise the looks (e.g. different subspecies of wolves, different subspecies and coat colours of foxes), and a lot more since I’ve only briefly played it so far (personally I love playing as a fox since there’s already WolfQuest for wolves). All the screenshots are from the game page itself :)

THOUGHT GAINED: INFERNAL ENGINES

PROBLEM

The world is ending. You know it, your neighbor knows it, the dealer knows it, the jailer knows it, the king and all his men know it. All one has to do is look around to see it— the future is curdling into something pale and incorporeal. The infernal machine that is this stupid world is going to blow, sooner rather than later. So what are you doing? Why are you still here? Why is anyone still here?

SOLUTION

You are doing the only thing worth doing. You are living. *Why,* you ask? Try and remember now. Remember your mother’s hand on your shoulder. Remember the taste of a fresh catch. Remember the times when you were kind to the dogs in the valley and they did not bare their teeth. Remember the weight of a child on your shoulders. Remember the stars throwing their light against the wall of sodium and smog. Remember singing until your throat was raw. Remember crying just as loudly and publicly, and the gentleness with which someone opened your curled fist and pressed a handkerchief into your palm. Crying, laughing, running, eating, screaming, haunting, loving, fighting, fighting, fighting. The fight fuels you, and you fuel the fight. You run yourself ragged just for a chance to keep running. You never stop. You cannot stop. The world depends on it. *You* are the infernal engine. You are the world. And, simply put: you want to live.

"i forgive you" is the best phrase in the english language

[mythicalfelidae]

if we keep doing uwu soft little vampire and big strong dumb werewolf how are we going to ever break out of gender binary

if i see 1 more artist make the masculine/larger/stronger human partner into the werewolf im going to freak out

lycanthropy is about losing yourself. please i am begging you to make someone random, someone unequipped, into a werewolf. please. small scrawny werewolves who are weak and scared, feminine werewolves, werewolves who struggle with the idea of taking something's life (even another animal for food) werewolves who refuse to get dirty because they're averse. werewolves need more than 1 mental illness yall

its kind of a joke at the beginning but not really. make an insane jacked vampire and her petite femme werewife with braided patterned fur or something; make the vampire a seamstress who wont quit until her werewife has the perfect fitting dress for her new furry body. stop with the "oh this character is butch/masc, CLEARLY they would make a good werewolf" shut uuuuupp be a LITTLE more creative. come on!!! do you really think every single werewolf has a premium gym membership? quit drawing them like it !!!
