[radical-revolution]

What actually happened was something absurdly simple and unspectacular: I stopped thinking. [...] Reason and imagination and all mental chatter died down. For once, words really failed me. Past and future dropped away. I forgot who and what I was, my name, manhood, animalhood, all that could be called mine. It was as if I had been born that instant, brand new, mindless, innocent of all memories. There existed only the Now, that present moment and what was clearly given in it. To look was enough. And what I found was khaki trouserlegs terminating downwards in a pair of brown shoes, khaki sleeves terminating sideways in a pair of pink hands, and a khaki shirtfront terminating upwards in—absolutely nothing whatever! Certainly not in a head.

It took me no time at all to notice that this nothing, this hole where a head should have been was no ordinary vacancy, no mere nothing. On the contrary, it was very much occupied. It was a vast emptiness vastly filled, a nothing that found room for everything—room for grass, trees, shadowy distant hills, and far above them snowpeaks like a row of angular clouds riding the blue sky. I had lost a head and gained a world.

coming to terms with being a vampire, i kinda ignore it because it is so much stronger than my other non-human identities to a point that it scares me?.. i see myself as a vampire both mentally and physically. so ima ramble about it and see what happens

im definitely sanguinary, my blood thirst is uh quite something, but its manageable thankfully the blood is the main thing not the killing/hunting

i switch between 3 states of viewing my physical body: 1. my body is a corpse 2. my body shouldnt exist (mist form) 3. my body should be an animal's. theres a noticeable difference between *is* and *should*

typically im in animal state (wow! so surprising!) and i can feel my fur,tail,ears,eyes,ect but i cant see them and i know theyre not actually there (ill write more on my animalhood later bcs ive been busy studying myself and i need to write my thoughts down on it)

second most common state is corpse, this ones hard to talk about bcs it always scares the shit out of me when i remember that im dead. technically im dead when in animal state but its easier to ignore when i have a wagging tail. its like becoming hyper aware of your mortality except everything makes no sense? i could try to make more sense of it and work out the rules to it but i think its too nonsensical for that. main issue is that i forget i need to do living ppl things like nutrition and rest, and im working on and getting better with that

finally, shouldnt have a physical body state- it comes on during times of stress and usually happens in form of a panic attack where im freaking out that i have a physical body (instead of being a cloud of mist or static electricity?) but it can also be a casual experience. pretty sure this is out of a want to disappear or run away when stressed but due to a mix of reasons its ended up with me wanting run away from my own body and getting confused as to why i cant

that's one of the most visceral description of animalhood I've seen in a long time

fuck "girl lunch" fuck "girl math" a woman is a hairy animal who sweats and grunts and excretes and hungers and gets wrinkly and dies eventually. you have to love that.

[anzaar-s-poet]

savior of those who beg

women came crying to you, oh goddess

boys would beg for your help, oh ogres

no guilty men can tame you

they had no clue

why you were so violent?

that only with the innocent

you were to be patient

you lost your love to animalhood

thinking that if he wanted to, he would

but deep down you knew it wasn't his fault

just another victim of men's assault

so you save those in need

punish those who committed bad deed

in the greatest darkness, none of your children know you bleed.

[snout-and-about]

Who are you?

Hi, I'm Snout!

I'm not a therian or otherkin, but I greatly enjoy interacting with the community as I find a lot of my hobbies and sources of personal fulfillment are generally in line with what you might call species dysphoria. I don't experience that myself, but it does at least give me some sense of euphoria to present as an animal would.

I'll likely reblog therian posts here, as well as posting my own experiences with animalhood from a slightly more distanced perspective.

What are you?

Even though I am unfortunately human, I'd much rather be a wolf, or an english springer spaniel.

I have a deep connection to wolves and dogs, and enjoy acting like and being perceived as one.

Anything else I need to know?

While I doubt I'll be posting much NSFW, I may end up reblogging and/or posting kink content (a lot of my personal euphoria comes from wearing my pup hood, which is kink gear), and am also generally uncomfortable making friendships with minors, so this blog is 18+ only. If a minor sees one of my SFW posts out in the wild and interacts with it, that's okay, but I will soft/hardblock (whatever is necessary) if they try to follow me.

What are your tags and what do they mean?

10-12. But the lord touched the bridle and steadied the horses. Then Brahmā seated in the excellent chariot drove the excellent chariot with the velocity of mind and wind, at the bidding of the lord towards the three cities of the valiant Asuras. The cities were then in the sky. Lord Śiva was seated inside.

13. Then lord Śiva looked at the gods and said—“Give me the lordship of the animals. Then I shall kill the Asuras.

14. O excellent gods, the excellent Asuras can be killed only after assigning separate animalhood to the gods and others. Not otherwise.”

Sanatkumāra said:—

15. On hearing these words of the intelligent lord of the gods, they became dispirited growing suspicious of animalhood.

16. On knowing what was passing through their minds, Śiva, the lord of the gods, the consort of Pārvatī sympathised with the gods and laughingly said.

Śiva said:—

17. “O excellent gods, you will not fall even in your animalhood. Let it be heard, and let the process of release from animalhood be practised.

18. He who performs the divine rite of Pāśupata[1] will be released from animalhood. I promise this to you. Be attentive.

19. O excellent gods, there is no doubt about it that those who perform my Pāśupata rite will become liberated.

20. He who renders service perpetually or for twelve years, becomes relieved of animalhood.

21. Hence O excellent gods, perform this divine rite. You will be released from animalhood. There is no doubt about this.”

On Having No Head: Seeing One's Original Nature

[shenspeaker]

Normal/Ghost Zoroark and why it kicks ass

The new Pokemon Legends Arceus trailer just came out and I’m pretty stoked.

Normal/Ghost has been my “most wanted” type combo, basically ever. I’m a fan of Normal type in general, and Ghost does a perfect job covering its only weakness, while also taking advantage of its only resistance.

^^^ cutie finds a dead body (or probably a dropped medieval camera, but you know)

I know some people probably expected the ice type based on the trailer, but I think Normal/Ghost is both more interesting and makes more sense. It’s a never before seen combination and it plays well into Zoroark’s signature Illusion ability both mechanically and from a story-telling point of view. Ice doesn’t play into either, and it would bring the Pokemon uncomfortably close to the already aesthetically and narratively similar Ninetales.

Story-telling wise Normal/Ghost is perfect. I long-felt that a Normal/Ghost would be a Schrondinger’s Cat style pokemon, something occupying a liminal space between Ghost-hood and cute ordinary animalhood. While Zorua perhaps does a better job straddling this line than Zoroark, deceiving appearances are a staple of Japanese ghost stories. Haunter and Gastly have been creating disguises and illusions more or less since the original Pokemon anime began, so Illusion as a ghostly ability is long overdue. 

Watch out. Gastly will catfish you. But for benevolent reasons? Idk watch the episode. And now Zoroark can too. Congrats furries. Honestly the type-uncertainty presented by Illusion cleaves mechanically closer to the Schrodinger’s Cat uncertainty I wanted than I think I realistically could have hoped for. 

Speaking of mechanics, Normal/Ghost gives Zoroark a fantastic 3 type immunity to fairly common attacking types (Normal, Fighting, and Ghost) and only one Weakness (Dark), which leaves more play for Illusion paranoia than the mono-Dark type Zoroark ever had. Is it really a good idea to use Close Combat on that Aggron? Or Shadow Ball on that Bronzong? What if it’s Zoroark in disguise?

Anyways, optimistic about this mon. Long have I hoped for some Spinda or Dunsparce evolution to gain the coveted Ghost/Normal type, but now that I think about it Zorua and Zoroark is an even better choice.

Obviously I’ve been quietly optimistic for a Breath of the Wild Pokemon game for a while, at the very least I think it’s great that Pokemon’s beginning to consider new directions of evolution for its franchise.

This furry hood I got is amazing I just want to live inside it
