I genuinely don't have the brain power to understand people who are anti endo plurality.

So... you're saying it's perfectly fine for me to identify on varying levels as multiple different creatures, some of which aren't even real,...

but the second we feel like multiple people in one body- oh no no no no no! We're attacking trauma survivors! We're making it up for attention! We're delusional and don't really exist!

Like- dude. We're just chilling. We don't want your attention. We don't want to hurt anyone. We're just... existing.

Also, the claims that endos are all ableist is insane. Our existence has nothing to do with any disabilities or disorders of any kind. For the record- we love and respect those who DO have disabilities and disorders. We wish them happy lives, and if they are seeking care, we hope they find the best there is.

So real. Agree with everything you said.

The berserker shifting thing has always pissed me off a lot. I've seen so many people on other platforms tell those with these types of shifts that it is "a dangerous symptom of a mental illness" and "not normal" and even "not real therianthropy".

Like- what the fuck? Everyone's experience is unique, and just because something has potential risks doesn't mean it's automatically a mental illness. And regardless of if it is, it sure as hell isn't invalid.

Honestly, fuck the alterhuman and therian wiki for always excluding clinical zoanthropes and physical alterhumans in general.

I wanted to look into berserker shifts and then I see shit like

Ah yes, because being a clinical zoanthrope means you're not alterhuman! Obviously!

Then there's also stuff like this in the official definition of modern therianthropy??

Has the same energy as 12 year olds on TikTok going "Therians KNOW they're human, they're not weird!!!! They're just normal human beings pls accept us 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺"

Why are we doing this??

Oh, you identify as an animal?? So cool!! What???? You identify as one physically????

Unacceptable! You shall not be a part of the community where people identify as animals!!!

What.

On being an Indoraptor

I realized I very rarely ever talk about my indoraptor kintype, but lately I've been feeling a lot more connected to it, so I thought I'd make a post.

[Kinda long, but I appreciate those who read. ^^]

For starters, how exactly do I label this kintype? Well, I definitely would consider it to be a fictotheriotype. Regardless of its intelligence, it's still a very feral creature. I wouldn’t call it a paleotheriotype, just 'cus it's not a real dinosaur.

One thing I feel I definitely need to mention is that I'm not fictionkin of the indoraptor from Jurassic; I'm simply just that species. Going a bit into specifics, I'm not entirely sure what color I am, but I usually feel like the standard black w/ gold.

I don't entirely know what level this identity is on. I'm questioning whether or not I have memories. I do get a lot more indo' mental shifts than I do my main kins. A lot of people make the assumption that being an indo' means I'm a big, savage, bloodthirsty beast. But that's definitely not the case.

In the movie/related media, I've always felt really connected to the idea of indos being used in the military. I feel like as an indo' I would be highly trained and very loyal to the person/people in charge of me. I feel like that "vicious" nature is still in my blood, but only used when specifically instructed to.

I would also be no less affectionate or gental with my trainers than a military dog. I'm not really sure why, but I always feel like a "domestic" version of all my kins. Like I should be under human care. Maybe it's because I've been raised around them, but there's never been a "wild" bone in my body. Even as a big scary dinosaur.

So what do shifts feel like? Well, phantom wise, it's mostly whole body, but with a strong focus on my muzzle and front legs. Mentally, it's a bit hard to explain. It feels like I have this deeply ingrained sense of being on a mission or having an important purpose. I want to be low to the ground, sniff, be quiet and cautious. All the works.

So... yeah. Military dog-dino. Not sure what level I ID on. Not canon accurate background. And that's about it. ^^

I think its really interesting how whenever minecraft gets criticism for its slow updates from the twitter crowd, its dev #5’s fault personally for working for over 6 minutes per year or whatever, but whenever any game under any other team gets criticism, like splatoon for example, its the big company nintendos fault

Like, minecraft is managed by microsoft, if anything ppl should be pissed at them for not giving mojang enough support development wise.

❗️Attention all RTC artists who have their own unique Jane Doe designs❗️

Hii so I wanted to do a little project where I draw a bunch of peoples’ Jane Doe designs sort-of interacting with each other in some sort of way (because I need to get out of my drawing comfort zone a little more)

Basically what I’m trying to say is please rb saying if it’s ok for me 2 include your Janey in this project (+add a pic for reference if u can)

(any1 whose Jane I draw will be tagged once it’s done)

I DREW @missraetaylor ‼️ (i was bored😖)

I KINDA LIKE IT☺️

[adolfusraptor1985]

I don't consider myself at all human. Not even a little bit. I know I look physically human, but I'm not.

I have past life memories of a linktype. No, it's not a kintype. It's a past life I choose to still identify as.

Quads are painful for me. I only do them when my shifts physically force me to. It's hell.

I don't really get any shifts or urges from some of my kins. I just am them. No other reason.

I hate masks. They're cool to make and look at, but I find it utterly pointless (and uncomfortable) for me to wear one.

I do taxidermy to relieve carnivore urges. Not sure if this will get me fake claimed, but I'm sure plenty will be disturbed by this.

I get euphoria from pet play.

NEW CHALLENGE: tell every aspect of your alterhumanity that would get you fake-claimed by TikTok therians /lh

-I do not have any memories as a fictionkin, am am purely psychological

-That being said I never experience shifts either

-probably just being conceptkin and placekin as well though

I really like this post, and I agree 100%.

I feel like the confusion around this topic also applies to some of the misinformation spread on other platforms (mainly by young therians).

I see people constantly throwing around the statement "therians identify as animals" immediately followed by "therians don't think they're animal".

...

But aren't those totally contradicting? I understand there's often more context not communicated in that statement, but at face value it's blatantly incorrect. Therians identify as animals because in some way they ARE animals. The entire purpose of identifying as anything ever is because that's what you are.

Don't get me wrong, I prefer to say I AM a dog, or I AM a fox, rather than saying I "identify" as such, but I still recognize that those two phrases mean the same thing. You used the perfect example earlier, if someone identifies as female, they are female.

I understand replacing "identify as" with "am" feels more impact full or genuine, but people need to understand that at the end of the day they still mean the same thing.

On "I don't identify as, I am" language

While this is no means an issue exclusive to the physically nonhuman community, that is the community I consider myself a part of, so that will be my focus.

With the steady growth in individuals being open about their physical nonhumanity (holotheres and clinical lycan/zoanthropes included), I think we-as-a-community need to sit down and have a discussion on language in order to nip something in the bud before it gets out of hand:

I don't "identify" as [thing], I am [thing].

This phrasing ^ is something I have seen a lot in an attempt to try and create a difficult-to-word distinction from otherkin and therians and the like. I understand there is no harm meant in this (again, it's a very difficult thing to communicate), but we need to be careful not to stray into common bigoted phrasing to try and describe things. Even if it is completely unintentional, the phrase above still carries the connotation that "identifying" as something is somehow different from being the thing, that they are on some level not ""truly"" what they say they are. We must remember that these are synonyms, you are what you identify as, that's what "identify as" means.

To use a personal example: yes, I identify as a dragon. Because I'm a dragon. If I didn't identify as a dragon then I would say I'm something else. To give it a parallel: I identify as female. Because I am female. If I didn't identify as female then I would say I'm something else. If someone identifies as something then they are that thing, full stop. We risk straying into dangerous territory if we mirror phrasing used against transgender individuals on a regular basis. "I don't identify as, I am" is not only flawed and inaccurate phrasing, but carries poor connotations.

I've made some posts in the past about how I've had some difficulty communicating in many otherkin or therian spaces because me physically being a dragon is sometimes quite different experience-wise (not 100% of the time, but often). It is difficult to phrase "was born a dragon, has always been a dragon and never been anything else" in a way that doesn't imply that non-physical dragons aren't dragons still. Because they are.

But what is a better way to say this then? Do we need wording to create distinctions for those that are perceptibly human and those that are not? Even this isn't so simple, because physical nonhumans that seem human outwardly also exist. That doesn't entirely solve the linguistic gap.

Does anyone else want to just worship nature itself?

Like- forgets about all the types of gods and religions there are and just... appreciate life. Pay respect by caring for its plants or living off its products. Have a display of objects like bones, feathers, and crystal, showing your admiration of its beauty.

I'm not a religious person, but the natural world means everything to me. I would totally worship it like a god.
