Hey there! I'm a sea slug!

Yes, I'm aware that I've got an odd theriotype. But to my defense, I'm an absolutely massive wildlife fan who LOVES marine biology. You can cal me Maverick or Mav for short, and my pronouns are he/him and it/its. I'm not going to specify my exact age here, but do be aware that I am an adult. If that makes you uncomfortable, which I completely understand, you may block me.

On this blog, I intend to provide resources to my fellow therians, such as care kits and tips for your theriotype. The difference between this blog and others like it is that I'll be basing the information I provide on your theriotype's behavior and enrichment needs. For example, I might suggest that a fox therian could obtain unprepared food, such as a meal kit or unprepared ingredients, and prepare meals for themselves, as well as snacks that can be eaten in one sitting, such as protien bars. (This is because in the wild, foxes prefer to eat more palatable food, such as cooked chicken, right away, but store less palatable food for later.)

This also means that anything you request might take longer for me to respond to, as I will do thorough research specific to your request. If you suggest a theriotype I've already done, without including any specific needs (such as dietary restrictions), I will link to the post for that theriotype.

What I Take Requests For:

Therian tips (closed)

Care kits (closed)

Stimboards (this one's a bit less research-intense, so the wait time will likely be shorter) (closed)

My Theriotypes:

(More on my theriotypes under the cut)

I identify as several species of sea slug. First, however, I'd like to talk a bit about what sea slugs are.

Sea slugs, also known as nudibranchs, are a type of gastropod, like slugs and snails. Unlike their land counterpart, however, many sea slugs are very colorful.

There are two main types of sea slug, those being Dorids and Aeolids. There's a very easy way to tell which is which:

Some of my theriotypes are Aeolids, others are Dorids. Try and spot what's what!

its so fun when u get the things u want, no, NEED for ur nonhumanity like cat ears to fulfill the phantom limb gap that's been aching in ur scalp for so long, a pair of cool wings to finally feel a glimpse of the REAL you. With me its skating, because speeding up at a car or standing at strong gushes of wind you get to feel all the breeze rush past ur skin like ur flying, every time i see skaters of any kind just cruise around and feel the winds i imagine myself skating because i seriously think it feels like ur flying the skies above, skating at such unreal speeds while feeling the breeze flow thru u is so close yet so far to actually flying, like you could just lift off and soar above the atmosphere while u see yourself watching your wings expand and catch the air with ease. i think about that a lot, which is why i've been wanting rollerblades for the longest not just for quick and easy transportation balancing a nice exercise, i want them to really FEEL like my kintypes, like the real me soaring thru the skies with ease

Tips for visualizing what clothes you wore as a divinekin, if applicable

Clothing and presentation has always been important to me as a God, so it's also always bugged me that my "appearance" in terms of clothing never felt right. After all, it's how I presented myself to lower beings! It's important they get the right impression, no?

So here's some tips I brainstormed on how to figure that more out. Could also be used as help for character design, I guess.

-

General Tips:

Throw away stereotypes. Not every god and angel wears flowy white and gold clothing, and not every demon wears dark reds and black. Go with what feels right to you.

Try to seperate skin and clothing. Maybe your skin has patterns on it or has fluffy bits/fur, and it's not a piece of clothing!

Trust your instinct. Often, your gut is correct when it comes to this type of stuff. If you look at an image and immediately go, "No, that's more something an angel would wear where I come from, so that's probably not at all like what I wore", congrats on the kin memory! But also, it's probably right.

Determine whether looking at external sources will aid you or not. For some people, looking at things like pinterest or picrews may help them visualize or trigger kin memories. However, for some it may give undue influence over what they're already trying to visualize. So, determine if you're more of an internal or external type of person.

Visualize. If you can visualize inside of your head, try meditation. While meditating, imagine yourself as a seperate entity to talk to. Imagine mirrors, imagine your "home." If you can't visualize inside your head, try pinterest, google, or character creators like picrews. Or, if you can, draw!

Consider your domain, if you know it. Fictional example, but, look at the gods of Kid Icarus. Palutena has white and gold flowy clothing, and a large pendant on a necklace resembling a sun. Her colour palette and symbolism make sense as she's the Goddess of Light. Contrasted with Viridi, who wears saturated magenta, red, and purple (much like that of a flower) with a more faded leaf-green. Parts of Viridi's outfit look like they're made out of wood, her shoes resemble leaves, and she has a flower crest on her dress. Naturally, Viridi is the Goddess of Nature. To put a long story short, your domain may have a heavy influence on what your outfit looks like.

Make a distinction between general feelings and specific details. Is that EXACTLY what your top looked like, or do you just have the general idea that you had a bare chest showing? Is your skirt EXACTLY that long and has EXACTLY that many layers, or do you just have the general idea that you wore a long flowy thing as a bottom?

The Senses

Often, the question you're trying to answer is "How did it look?" But if you're having trouble with that, we can turn to the other senses.

How did it feel? This is probably the most important one. What material was it made out of - silk, cotton, wool? Was it soft and smooth, or was it more fluffy and comfortable? Was it heavy, or light?

On the contrast, how DOESN'T it feel? Where do you not feel your clothing? If it was a cold or windy day, which parts of your body would you feel it the most in? This can help with narrowing down the shape of your clothes and where it covers and doesn't cover.

How did it sound, if at all? Is it silent, or do parts of your clothing make noises as you move? Maybe you have jewelry or adornments that clack together or jingle as you walk. If you were to rub against different parts of your clothes, what sound would it make?

Taste and smell are a little weird to talk about when it comes to clothes, but they have their uses. Maybe you're struggling to figure out just what part of your outfit you're imagining or being reminded of. If so, you could take this part and imagine what it tastes or smells like - if it tastes/smells metallic, it's probably jewelry, etc. Smell could also hint at the material, like if it smells naturey, maybe it's made out of leaves and wood.

And lastly, like I said before, trust your gut! Don't take everything in this post as absolute fact that must apply to you - these are just guiding tips to hopefully get you closer along your pathway.

can i have advice for mermaidkin :3 thank youuuuuuu

advice for a mermaid kin!

wear long skirts that remind you of your tail

spend lots of time in and around water

sing!! mermaids are known for singing, and you dont have to be good at it

wear accessories with seashells, scales, fishnets, and coins on them. these have always felt reminiscent of mermaids to me

listen to ocean noises, whale calls, and maybe even sea shanties

you can draw scales on your skin in marker, pen, or glitter pen, and marking color between your fingers looks like you have webbed hands! (first hand experience as a dragon)

eat seaweed, seafood, and things that remind you of what you ate in the ocean

hope this helps!

can you do a silver fox kin care kit? or just fox in general pls?

here you go, I hope you enjoy! loved researching about foxes!

foxes have a wide range of vocals! look up videos of fox vocals and try to imitate them, or come up with your own fun noises to make

foxes are depicted as smart tricksters in mythology. make up your own riddles for others to solve, or find a book/website of riddes to try to solve

foxes are solitary creatures. take a break from the world, and chill out in a quiet room with soft fabrics, nature sounds, and even a diffuser with comforting smells

silver foxes have strong legs, and are fast runners! go for a run around your neighborhood, and try to build up your strength and stamina. if you can’t run, try exercises or stretches that focus around your legs

silver foxes have soft silvery black fur. try dressing in darker tones with soft, fluffy fabrics (maybe even add some fox ears if you have them)

silver foxes—like many foxes—are nocturnal. try switching up your routine to include more activities in the evening/night, and embrace the darker, quieter aspects of night

winged cat tips:

-Make/commision gear

-Quads

-Doing things that can feel like flying while wearing any cat gear (ie ice skating, roller skating/blading, sticking your head out the window, etc)

-bundle up in a nest made of pillows, plushies, and blankets and lay in a way that’s easy on your wings

-Draw or ask someone to draw your type

-Hunt stuffed animals by jumping from (safe) high places like swooping down on them

Starfolk Nonhuman Tips

[Plain text: Starfolk Nonhuman Tips /End ID]

This is for any nonhuman/ alterhuman who's a starfolk in some capacity, whether otherkin, otherhearted, synpath, otherlink and such!

I'll be adding onto this whenever I get ideas for potential tips and such.

Listen to the Worldless OST! It helps me with feeling calm, and it just feels homely!

Even better, watch or play Worldless itself!

Get one of those "night sky projectors," especially if it has multiple colour settings and speakers. You can play both music AND vibe.

Make a mask! Okay this is a generic one but this is such a fun thing to make AND wear.

(Light polarity) Join fencing and/ or archery clubs! Might feel right. Alternatively, watch videos with swordfighting, archery and/ or any other combat, or you can get or even make some stuff based on your weapon.

(Dark polarity) Relax in water, especially in pools, river and beaches if that's accessible. If not those, a good long shower would do the trick!

(Dark polarity) Be in dimly lit places! Okay what I meant by this is turn off the lights in your room and probably use a lamp to make it nice and cosy.

(Light polarity) Take a walk in anywhere snowy! Or watch videos about hiking in snowy places.

(Light polarity) Or, you can watch thunderstorms, whether in real life or in videos!

(Dark polarity) Make fake claws! Even better, attach said claws to a pair of gloves.

Draw yourself! Or maybe write if you prefer that. It doesn't have to be good, just let yourself focus on your appearance and what you want to portray.

Get a bell! It sounds somewhat like sonar.

You could try to mimic the sound of sonar, but I'm not too sure how to.

Put fake stars in your room! Basically cut out a bunch of shapes in the desired polarity, punch some holes in it, string them and attach them to the ceiling!

Hiking would be great, if you're able to do it. Alternatively, watch hiking videos and maybe even FPV Drone footage if your 'type has wings.

If your type has wings, you could make a jacket with wings on them! Paint on the desired wing type with fabric paint.

Make a moodboard, or even a collage if you want.

mousekin tips!

my theriotype is house mice so these tips are primarily focused towards them. i tried to make these less general and more specific towards mice because it personally annoys me when every species tip list has "make/buy gear" on it, lol

— look up tutorials on how to squeak similarly to mice

— stay up/be active at night at your own discretion (a lot of mice are nocturnal)

— sew! this might just be a me thing, but the idea/action of sewing makes me feel like a mouse :P

— adding onto the above, DIY/customize your clothes! mice are scavengers, so getting that feel of scraps stitched together for clothes might bring euphoria.

— make nests with lots of blankets. mice shred up things to build their nests, so the feel of a ton of blankets might remind you of a mouse's nest.

— if you're an outdoor mouse, you could make a burrow on the ground or under a bed. alternatively if you're an indoor mouse, you could adapt a closet into a makeshift mousehole.

— find stim toys to chew on !

food tips !

— a lot of little kid's books have mouse protagonists, so maybe looking at a few of them might be comforting.

— i spy books ! they also give me mouse vibes.

— if you don't like anything on this list, basically anything crunchy and aromatic would work.

— chocolate (especially milk chocolate)

— sunflower seeds, cereal, and crackers

— crunchy bread

— freeze dried fruits (apples, bananas, and strawberries are my favorite)

— pretzels (snack pretzels or baked, either works!)

— eggs (i've found scrambled to be the most euphoric for me, but i encourage experimentation)

— small mammal meats

— corn

— fake edible insects

— berries, mushrooms, and edible flowers

— i've gathered that trail mix is the most efficient way to buy wild mouse‐like food and can even be reminiscent of pellet food if you're domesticated and not wild.

i hope this helps someone :3 !!

hello archivist

do you have any tips for living as an avatar in this world? specifically eye, or any other alignments you have?

p.s: we have a sideblog where we talk about living ethically and safely as avatars. if you answer, do we have permission to reblog?

thank you so much if you do answer and have a wonderful day

As an eye avatar myself, I find myself having a hunger for information oftentimes, and I quench this by constantly going on deep dives on topics, which gets me into a lot of new interests and hyperfixations. I'd suggest doing that (Course, do not pry too deep into subjects that you know may disturb you.)

As for the buried, I used to live by a beach, and in order to satiate the buried, I would dig a nice hole (I didn't know why I did that before I found out I was a Buried avatar.) Don't forget to fill it up when you're done. I also wrap most of my body up when going to bed because of it. And yes, you have permission to reblog.

I hope I was able to help in some way!

can u do tips for a computer?? nothing specific rlly ^^ thx!

Of course! Hope you like these!!

Computer Kin Tips

Learn about computers and their inner workings! Some things are quite complicated, but others are easy to understand! And there's a lot of resources about them out there, including on youtube!

When possible, use more pixelated fonts! Those feel very "sentient computer" to me!

Theme your blog around computers!

You can get creative with your style and incorporate retro or futuristic elements and accessories! Retro or tech wear styles might fit the vibe well!

You can get jewelry and accessories with little computers and other tech on them!

If you feel connected to other tech, strenghten your connection to them! Give your electronics name, take care of your phone like a best friend,...

Learn to robot dance! It can look silly but takes quite some skill, and usually is a good fit at parties (given your friends are comfy being silly)

If you can & feel comfortable with it, you could use a voice changer to robotise your voice to your liking!

feline therian tips!

use a blanket for phantom tail if you dont have a tail!

do makeup to make yourself look like your cat type! (you can put pink or black on your nose, black on your upper lip, eyeliner, contour, etc)

watch old disney movies! they animate cats so well! i love lion king personally

go out and interact with nature and other animals! vocals are really useful for this, i learned cat body language and vocals to communicate with my cats even before i figured out i was a cat therian. chitter at squirrels, meow at cats, climb rocks and trees!!!!

do your hair in cat ear buns! i love this one, you can look up a tutorial for cat ear buns and theyre super cute and give a feeling of more natural ears

walk digitigrade! i like walking on my toes already because im autistic, but if i bend my legs a little bit while i do so its really euphoric, just make sure not to do it for too long since it might start hurting

sleep and stretch like a cat! curl up, stretch out, you can even loaf!

advice for goat/ram therians?

advice for goat/ram therians!

wear fake horns (you can make some out of paper or cardboard) or pigtails/double buns to remind you of your horns!

wear clunky shoes/boots or shoes that make clacky sounds, i find these feel like my hooves so maybe they will for urs too :3

wear fur clothing the color or your wool and big, fluffy sweaters

eat vegetables and salads

if you feel the need to ram something with your horns, you can use pillows on a bed or couch so you dont hurt yourself! (plz be safe)

wearing gloves or fingerless gloves may also make you feel like you have front hooves as well :3

hope this helps! (and sorry for not posting in a while, ive been a little burnt out)
