Day 14. If given a cellphone, what would your kintype do with it?

Likely chew it up, play with it (and by that I mean toss it around and stuff) or just ignore it. Since we're pretty wolf-ish right now, as wolves we would sniff it, chew it, then discard it when we realise it's not edible.

Only to one person. I've had a couple rumours spread about me before, so I'm very careful with who I tell irl. They accept me, though :3

Therianthropy Day is Friday, November 15, 2024

Therianthropy Day is held every year on the first full moon of November. This year, in 2024, that falls on Friday the 15th. According to NASA, this also happens to be a supermoon, which means it’s slightly brighter than usual.

Why that date, and what is the history of that holiday? 

Therianthropy Day commemorates the first Howl, which was held 30 years ago in November 1994. A Howl is when therians meet up together in person. That was a year after the first therians started to meet up together online in November 1993. Therians first proposed commemorating it as a holiday on that date in 1996, in a conversation thread you can still see here. Based on that history, in 2016, Muninn the Raven proposed observing it as Therianthropy Day, though the first posts and community poll about it attracted little attention. I think the holiday finally really caught on in 2021, when I first saw many therians posting on social media about fun things they were doing for it.

What are therians, anyway?

If therianthropy is a new idea to you, or you want to explain it to others who are unfamiliar with it, this essay is a quick and easy to understand introduction to it. It’s available in several languages already, and more translations would be great.

Learn more about the history of the therian community by reading the Timeline of the Therian Community written by @liongoatsnake

What can we do for Therianthropy Day?

I’ve seen therians celebrate it by wearing gear (for example, a necklace with the therian symbol, or clothes with pictures of their species), meeting up with their therian friends, and howling at the moon.

Enjoy some indie games and zines about therianthropy from this hand-curated itch.io collection. Some therian highlights from that: SlumberDragon’s zine of self-care tips for animal folk, @who-is-page’s therianthropy-inspired solo journaling game Wolf In Man’s Clothing, puppygirlbelly’s interactive story I Am Dog(s), and Digital Freegans’s zines THERIANARCHY and BEAST PUNKS.

Are there days for other sorts of alterhumans too?

There are. Alterhuman Day commemorates when Lio of the Crossroads System coined that word on September 26, 2014. Otherkin Day is on July 9, commemorating when the word was coined in 1990, though Arethinn has found that the word’s origin is a little more complicated than that. Plural Events says that Plural Pride Day is the third Saturday of July, and Plural Acceptance Week is that week.

It's the full moon of November you know what that means! And what a marvelous, bright moon it is tonight.

It's therianthropy day, the 30th one! It's 30 years since the first Howl (irl meet-up). I was a toddler then, so had no idea any of this exists. As far as subcultures go we've stood the test of time. Of course it has, the concept of animal people is as old as the hills. Therians are just a modern day iteration of it.

It's also 10 years, right about now, since I first interacted with the therian community. And I'm glad to have found you all. You really helped me out during a strange time.

As Autumn is already relevant to me personally for this reason, I find it rather fitting that Therianthropy day falls this time of year too! Not only that, but it's 15 years (give or take a week or 2) since I first learned about my theriotype. I didn't call it that then, but the connection was certainly there from day dot. Impossible to ignore, evidently. That's why I remember.

Anyway, happy therianthropy day!

unhinged 30 days of otherkin challenge: day four

If your kintype suddenly opened their eyes, what would they be looking at?

For my white tern theriotype, probably with the open ocean hunting for food or in a tree just hanging out.

For my harbor seal theriotype maybe a glacier or nice beach to rest on before going back to the water.

For my dhole theriotype probably a steppe with lots of shrubs and dead grass.

It really helps with self reflection and opens you up to the community for a good conversation, though I myself, didn’t get much interaction at all. Hopefully that is helpful! Looking forward to seeing you around :)

Day 28. How many fingers do you have and why?

It goes from none to 20 to a number too f-ing big for me to count. That's if we count the digits of all limbs hand/feet like.

4. if your kintype suddenly opened their eyes, what would they be looking at?

Well since foxes live in the forest, trees, bushes and grass I guess.

30 Day Non-Human Challenge, Day 8: Do You Believe There Should be Non-Human Pride? What Do You Imagine it Being Like?

Prides, cons, luncheons, I'd love to see and be apart of any kind of irl otherkin event! I want to see people in full kin gear and people with nothing but a button to represent their kintype. I want to talk to spiritual otherkin, psychological otherkin, and those who feel like they're neither. I want to hear people howling, I want to share awakening stories over a coffee, I want to give people little trinkets, and harmonize the opening themes to the shows various fictionkin are from.

Feeling isolated out there in the real world seems to be a common sentiment in this community. I'd love to see that lessened some.
