#do I tag this as therian? I don't think so but now that I've typed it someone will find it in three months like they do with my tag talks.

[kitthefoxkin]

1) i consider myself otherkin, otherlink, and otherhearted. i prefer the term otherkin over therian.

2) red fox otherkin + hearted, ocelot otherkin + hearted, rabbitkin (copingkin/copinglink), canine cladokin (copingkin/copinglink), grey fox otherhearted, North American River otter funlink, and questioning many others! >:3c

3) yes! i experience consistent physical shifts of phantom ears, tail, muzzle, paws, fur, and fangs. typically, they're of my red fox kintype. i experience behavioral shifts often, but especially when under stress. my strangest cameo shift was actually way before I knew I was otherkin and im not quite sure what it was! i experienced large phantom horns and a long, thin tail with a furred tuft at the end.

4) for me, its just something in the background. its a fact of life. i still do everything the same as before I found out that im otherkin, im just a fox now. sometimes I'll be doing chores or doing my hobbies and remember, so I go step outside for a minute to appease my animal 'types. i experience species dysphoria sometimes, but it's been much less severe in recent months. overall it's just a fact of life for me.

5) i think the community is wonderful!! especially on Tumblr. there's some discourse and negativity, but compared to other alterhuman spaces, Tumblr is by far the best place to be imo. i have a hard time sometimes with misinformed critters on apps like tiktok, but i know that they're just not informed properly and they aren't malicious.

6) wearing gear and being referred to as an animal in any way makes me so euphoric! my friends/partner will call me a fox sometimes and it just makes me so happy. wearing my tail also makes me really happy, especially when I see it wag on my shadow. i hope to get a boingy tail sometime soon for extra wags :33 i also really enjoy acting as my kintypes whenever im alone. i have a strong sense of paranoia when trying to express my alterhumanity due to my location, but when im just alone in my bedroom i can finally let go. its so freeing.

7) im not experiencing species dysphoria at the moment, but I do on occasion. like I said earlier, its not nearly as bad as it used to be (almost constant). i think just being able to put a label on myself and say that i am an animal helps relieve some of it. when I do feel dysphoric, i spend time in alterhuman spaces online, which helps relieve some of it.

8) don't put too much pressure on yourself. especially on tiktok, there's a lot of pressure to use the right label and figure out your theriotype right away and do quads, and you don't need to do any of that. there's no point in stressing over if you're ACTUALLY a therian or if you're otherhearted, otherlink, etc and worrying about using the wrong label. i promise you, its not that important. you can just be. /pos

9) yes to both! i currently own a taxidermy fox tail, a spiked choker that simulates a collar, a few masks that im working on, and a set of fox ears on the way. i really want professionally made masks, a boingy tail, matching ear/tail sets, a collar with my name, a human muzzle, and more canine-focused gear for my bedroom like blankets and dog bowls. i also would like to make myself a kennel sometime in the future with blankets and pillows, both for my canine 'types and for coping.

10) i believe my alterhumanity stems heavily from trauma and being AUDHD in a neurotypical world. I've always felt disconnected from others, like im just not quite right. there were some i could connect with, but overall I felt and was treated like a "something" rather than a person due to my autistic traits. ive also experienced complex trauma that caused me to feel trapped, in danger, and helpless, which I think led to both my canine and rabbit 'types as a way of coping. my canine kintype is a protector almost, and my rabbit kintype is a self-preservation tactic. they don't bring me distress though!

11) anybeast who wants to participate (⁠.⁠ ⁠❛⁠ ⁠ᴗ⁠ ⁠❛⁠.⁠)

hola, my name is soren – after that owl from the zack snyder animation movie which was probably an allegory of nazis??? – i am seventeen, hungarian, queer and audhd. i am also an alterhuman, and i have a fursona. if you are ready for the deeper shrek-like onion layers of my personality, you can find me curled up like an angry snake on the bottom of the post.

here i am, delivering my beloved labels, only for you<3

i am pansexual, poly (but right now in a closed and comitted relationship) and genderfluid. here's a link where i explain my gender, if you are interested, and my pronouns page. anyways, please choose to use any pronouns you find suitable for me, including my neo/xenopronouns: ze/zem, sol/sols, wave/waves, abys/abyss, drae/dragos, pup/pups, bee/bees (i don't demand anyone to use them, i just like to think about myself by these).

i am a dragonkin with golden retriver hearttype, otherlinks other than cheetah and barn owl are yet to be discovered!! lately, i realized i don't like to be called nonhuman, therian or otherlink. I prefer being called alterhuman, -kin, and otherhearted, because even tho i feel disconnected from humanity itself, i'd like to embrace my own human side the same way i do with my animalistic one. here's a link for further explanation.

i am a burnt out highschooler, studying biology, can't wait to study my special interest [psychology] in a university. i make art, but usually would rather not post about it.

plus because i really love typology, my mbti is infj-t, melancholic-sanguine, enneagram is 4w5 sx/so with a strong 2, big five is RLOAI.

i like to mess around on my account, i have lots of reblogs, some og posts and i may vanish sometimes for a couple of days. this blog isn't for creating content, but for my own entertainment. my tag for original posts is #soren's hoard of words

DNI if you are a general shit of a person towards anyone who didn't hurt you or others, so if you are intolerant. DNI with mostly nsfw content. other than that, i would be happy if you interacted with me or my posts!!✨🤍✨🤍

tw: sh, healing from depression

i've spent the last couple of years with recovering from depression, different types of self harm, and generally trying not to kill myself. i have spent two weeks in a psychiatry, and i have been on therapy for five years now. i am proud that finally i can say i am doing great!! for more loredrops, stay in tuneee

(i am no fictionkin as alterhuman, but i like to collect these guys. if it's offensive towards anyone, please educate me)

[gaygayhomosexualbeanz]

obligatory intro post

hello and welcome! I go by bean/beans/beanos/Lee.

my pronouns are he/him, but I don't mind they/them. I am questioning my possible Therian identity! (Currently I believe my theriotypes that I've found out so far are white faced saki, kakapo, and yellow edged moray! I'm questioning some type of feline and some sort of bird capable of flight!) i am both a digital and traditional artist but I usually don't post my traditional art due to a shitty camera 😔 so I might post digital art here and there or TRY to get an ok picture of my traditional stuff, since I mainly do traditional.

Things I'm into (note: some things are definitely questionable, but obviously, I don't condone the extremities of some series/artists/characters or whatever that is listed that you may find concerning and/or offensive):

Games: Tekken, Street fighter, Final fantasy, Chrono cross, Parasite eve (my all time favorite game💖), monster hunter, Silent hill, call of duty, twisted metal, Pokemon, animal crossing, fallout, don't starve, Resident evil, Danganronpa, cry of fear, SCP containment breach (and scp in general), Homicipher, Metal gear solid, fear and hunger

Anime/manga: one piece, soul eater, Naruto, berserk, devilman, Shoujo Tsubaki, Litchi hikari club, chainsaw man, one punch man, Hellsing

Movies/tv series: Godzilla, Hellraiser, Star wars, Arthur and the invisibles, Hannibal (the NBC series if i remember correctly, also all hail Mads Mikkelsen lol), moomin, clone high, the alien movies, the predator movies, the alien VS predator movies, the thing (1982 my beloved)

Music artists/bands: Slipknot, Korn, Rammstein, limp Bizkit, Rob zombie, Ghost, Teenage disaster, Melanie martinez, lustmord, Mr. Scoops (underrated guy, but sadly he deleted his YouTube channel from what I remember so thank you re-uploaders🙏)

Others I didn't feel like categorizing: weirdcore, visual kei, dai nippon gothic, Aztec mythology, all tomorrows, blood meridian, I have no mouth and I must scream, Junji Ito, Hawaii II, everywhere at the end of time, the mandela catalogue, the walten files, gemini home entertainment, local 58, Doctor nowhere, Trevor Henderson, urban spook, sanrio, squishmallows, Littlest pet shop

I'm also very into studying wildlife and nature/science in general.

If you wanna ask me about anything here or something off topic, please do! I don't mind questions of ANY kind. (Caution: you MIGHT need to use tone tags)

Many things here are subject to change or I forgot something, it's already quite long lol so this is all (for now maybe?)

i'm not gonna tag EVERYTHING but the ones I think are most important to me at the moment and other crap, see ya!

[awoowoof]

1. I'm honestly not sure, i relate to both.

2. i dabbled in the Therian community several years ago, but i quickly lost interest. i didn't relate to anyone and it felt like they were just playing at it. I've somewhat recently learned the term "kin for fun" and i suspect i stumbled into 1 of those areas of the internet by accident.

I've just been doing my own thing with it in the meantime. i was brought back to the general community by Tumblr, actually. i follow a blog that's unrelated to this and they reblogged the comic that's floating around about species dysphoria. it really struck something in me and i fell down a rabbit hole of nonhuman/alterhuman blogs. made me want to give it a try again.

3. uuuuuhhhhh... gear... i have a tail that a friend bought me. real fur fox tail. i probably should throw it out, tho. it's been in a mold-infested area for years now.

I'd honestly prefer to just make a yarn tail as close to my colors as possible. i found some yarn that's similar, but I'm chronically broke af and can't afford it. I'm not sure if it would even look how i want it to.

i did have a collar in highschool, but it was for cats, lol. it was pink with a little pink bell i took off. it looked horrendous because i attacked it with a sharpie, so it was all splotchy and bleh. I'm not a fan of pink or how narrow it was, but it's what i had. that was actually before i heard about Therians, much less alterhumans.

i have my eyes set on this suuuuuuper cheap black collar (like... $2) that I'll probably get at some point. add a dog tag to it that i can unclip and wear subtly when I'm out and about.

(edit: i had an opportunity and nabbed the collar! :D now I'm eyeing tags)

4. I've been like this for as long as i can remember. as far as the term, I've known about it for like... 2 months or so at this point? i identify more closely with nonhuman, tho. it just clicked with me when i first heard it. i consider "alterhuman" a more secondary term for myself.

5. i like watching and reading things with werewolves. the easiest way to get me to try something is to tell me there's werewolves, lmao. i really like jerky and things i can tear apart with my teeth.

I'm a quadrupedal werewolf, so i started doing quads when i was fairly young. i had no idea it was something already around, i just mimicked wolves. i had to stop for a while, tho, it was too stressful on my wrists. i picked it up again recently, just doing walks when i go to get something and such.

i tend to be fairly subtle with what i show to others, but i am absolutely living for some of the suggestions I've seen recently. I'd love to try some sometime

6. yes, holy shit. my teeth are such an important aspect to me and i had so many issues with brushing my teeth growing up (I've since figured out a work-around!) so i just... all the cavities. which means that every time they fix a tooth i have an entirely new distaste for how my mouth feels T^T they don't seem to care how it's shaped, just that there isn't a cavity anymore. my teeth are probably my largest source of (nonhuman) dysphoria.

lately, tho, I've been having some with my legs. they're far too long. I'm a quadruped, dag nabbit! how am i supposed to walk like this??? but it's not so bad unless I'm in a shift-y mood, since I'm also "human" shaped at times.

teeth are always, tho... always. it's so frustrating. those are my main 2, sometimes other things pop up and i view my trans-ness and alterhumanity as being fairly close/similar/linked, so they tend to blend together.

7. nah. closest i can think of is like... i can feel very puppy-like. but name and gender and all that... it's the same afaik

8. I'll be honest, I'm not entirely sure what pet regression even is

9. I'm just werewolf, afaik. i can act very different at any given time, but afaik they're all just different expressions of my werewolf type. I'm still trying to sus out what exactly that is, tho

10. yes. I'm still learning about what all the different types of shifting are and all that, but at the very least, i feel my ("wolf") body aspects at times and i can sink really into the instinctual mindset or moods. sometimes i don't want to talk, just ~express~ things like it feels natural

11. just werewolf

12. I'm honestly not sure how the collar fits into things, but I'm surprised that I've never seen werewolves with dog collars in anything I've seen or read. seems like an excellent way of keeping track of packmates that get nabbed by Animal Control. even something as simple as military style dog tags on a chain could get you out of the pound and back with your pack, so I'm not sure why nobody's thought of it. just wear it under your shirt so that if you have a spontaneous transformation, it's ready to go

[obstructed-birdsong]

I never expected this, but while creating a birdkin character to appear later in my story, I realized that I've just been projecting onto this character and making her me. A couple scrolls through the birdkin tags later, and I think I may be a bird therian. Uh... help?

I'm no expert so don't take this at face value. Only you yourself can truly answer that question but I can offer some tips.

What particular things make you feel like you're a bird therian? Shifts? Feelings and instincts? Behaviours? Have you recognized birdlike thoughts and feelings from before now? Try to write these things down if you can recall them.

Do some research. Watch videos and documentaries about birds. Read about their habits and behaviours. Pay close attention to the way they move, the sounds they make, the way they interact. Ask yourself "does this match how I feel?"

Go to your local library, secondhand store that sells books, or regular bookstore if you want to pay full price. Look at bird encyclopedias, bird field guides. If you know someone who knows a lot about birds, ask them for info. You don't have to say it's therian related, just that you're interested in learning about birds. Ask other bird therians, read about their experiences if they post about it online.

Keep a list of types of birds you question. Beneath each, write down why you questioned that kind of bird, what aspects of it feel like "you". Also write down why you stopped questioning that bird. What about it doesn't fit. This might look something like "Reasons yes: sleek feathers, long beak, lives near water, glides a lot during flight. Reasons no: nasal structure doesn't feel right, travels in large flocks, diet doesn't match.

Most of all, don't rush it. It's alright to try on and drop theriotypes. it's alright if you don't figure it out right away. Finding a theriotype can take a while. It took me like two years to narrow it down from "bird" to "parrot" then finally cockatiel, but it's different for everyone.

Best of luck with your questioning process!

I AM NOT A FEEDIST ACCOUNT, DON'T SEND ME WEIRD ASKS/DMs. (I support both fat liberation and feedist ideas as they are not mutually exclusive)

I'm a freelance commission artist on multiple platforms.

ADDITIONAL NOTICES:

I do RP, but not on this account, or on Tumblr, in general.

While my commissions ARE open (ask if interested), I reserve the right to deny something, if I do not feel I can do what you want, how you want. [I hate disappointing people]

If you EVER see me post/draw something that you think is sus, know that EVERY character you see here is over 18 years of age.

And if, for a canon character, their age is not explicitly stated, then assume that they ARE over 18 in the works I have represented them in [Considering the content I've drawn, this applies mostly to Deltarune content]

My mental health is not the best, so please excuse long periods of silence and the like. I can only really draw when I'm at my best.

I do NOT do requests, not because "Hurr you don't deserve free art", but rather, because I don't like making promises that I can't guarantee I'll keep. I take commissions because a profit incentive is a much greater motivator to ensure that I will get it done.

[pharosveekona]

1: Otherkin, therian, hearted and archetrope! With some openness to potentially more, since I'm still somewhat figuring things out

2: For otherkin, am dragon; for therian, working out some kind of/multiple kinds of wolf and fox + maybe a bird + maybe a raptor dino; for hearted, am elvenhearted; for archetrope, still trying to figure out the exact best wording and specific types

3: Most common is definitely wings (either back wings, or my arms as wings) and claws/talons. I used to get canine ear shifts a looot too. Cameo shifts I'm unsure of, I may get them, but I'm still working out whats a 'type and whats not, so I can't confidently categorize anything as one right now lol

4: Mostly just through shifts and some degree of instincts/urges. I don't really do anything alterhuman-specific, though I'd kind of like to start doing so

5: A lot of it is way smarter and more articulate than me and I'd like to participate more, but I kind of feel out of place LOL

6: Being outside in any way to be honest, even if I'm in the middle of a dense neighbourhood, just feeling the moving air on my skin helps. I love cycling for the sensation of running faster on all fours or flying.

7: Sometimes, generally its more of a low-level constant background noise if its present, but it spikes much worse at times.

8: Its hypocritical of me to say but try not to stress about every little detail and how valid you are or not. Speaking from personal experience its not fun

9: I don't... have typical gear? I have a partial realistic fursuit of one of my suspected 'types, and some regular clothing that can give me some species euphoria. I was looking in to getting one of the more seemingly typical masquerade style half-masks that a lot of people have though, I'm interested in the concept! And I was also looking at getting a nice tail. I'd also like to get some kind of paw gloves/arm warmers. Can you tell I've been window shopping

10: Well, to some extent it is past life; thats where at least some of my wolfishness comes from. Aside from that, I have theories involving reincarnation, but I don't think thats the sole source. I think it can be a lot of things, and it can be multiple different things within one being too. I don't honestly concern myself overmuch with the origins of anything, it just... is how I am, regardless

11: ..... I don't have anyone to tag I don't know anyone :'D but thank you for the writing prompts!

[sebastians-alterhuman-archive]

giving this a go I guess, why not- 1/ 🌹 in general just broad alterhuman really probably

2/ 🖤 Vampire (otherkin) | Dog, Fox (therian) | Crow, Raven, Cat, Devil/Demon, Angel (otherlink) | Dazai Osamu (sypath/fictkin)

3/ 🐾 yes! most commonly get phantom limb shifts, but have also experienced mental shifts and a few cameo shifts before

4/ 🥩 not really sure how to answer this one

5/ 🦇 like all communities, there's good and bad aspects, I try surround myself with others who don't promote negativity when it's possible to

6/ 🍷 it depends on what aspect/aspects and situation

7/ 🩸 I think I do sometimes maybe, yeah

8/ 🦴 research your types, ask questions, look for advice, don't interact with people who make you feel bad, it's okay if later down the line you realize you were perhaps mistaken about part of your identity or even decide just not to have it be public anymore, etc. also, if you yourself have advice for others or know things that helped you, share it !

9/ 📜 don't have yet minus a low quality paper dog mask I kinda pseudo gave up on, but wanting to in future hopefully!

10/ 🥀 I believe a lot of it could be psychological for me, also questioning physical, still uncertain over all if I believe in past lives personally or at least whether I've had any or not before, so don't think it could be that currently at least

[goddamnitlopori]

Despite not really calling myself an alterhuman, rather otherkin or therian, these questions still apply to me so why not.

1. Therian and otherkin

2. Bonobo and mermaid (mermaid is the older, quieter one, but no less important. Bonobo is the more public facing one)

3. Depends on kintype. Bonobo very rarely unless it's voluntary, eg when I'm lucid dreaming. But I get into moods where it feels stronger, or sometimes I'm very cognisant of the difference between my proportions and theirs. Mermaid causes more of the phantom stuff, but lies dormant for long lengths of time intbetween. I shifted very very often as a kid.

No cameos.

4. As an idea that floats around in the back of my head while I'm doing otherwise normal things. It inspires some of my hobbies and interests too.

5. I have a complicated relationship with the community. I am very grateful to have found it when I did, to have made friends who I still think the world of. I've had my share of conflicts, but nothing major (touch-wood). The community has changed quite a lot over time, in some ways for the better but in other ways that leave me feeling out of step. I barely recognise it sometimes. I've been around long enough to start getting the odd pang of nostalgia.

6. Having it be known really, I wear it on my sleeve so people associate my kintypes with me. Particularly bonobo, that's why I'm more obvious about that one, acknowledgement means more. I don't want to be *humoured*, that's forced and embarrassing. So I never request it, I just hope the message gets across on its own. The furry fandom is great for this, the message is loud and clear and I don't even have to tell them anything.

7. Bonobo kintype: It fluctuates, I go through periods of not thinking about it much and only having very mild yearning, and then periods where it's at moderate levels. Never *debilitating*, thank fuck, but it still stings a bit. Right now? Worst it's been in a while, actually. 😳

Mermaid kintype: right now? No. When I was a child, all I ever thought about was turning into a mermaid. I still get a bit wistful at videos of coral reefs but I know how to swim, I wear tails, I've swam in the sea and seen fish underwater. I can BE a mermaid whenever I want and even fool kids on the beach. I have healed my inner child by doing all this fun stuff as an adult. Kid me would be so excited if she knew.

8. There's a little thing called "Shifters disease". The initial excitement of a new self discovery may cause you to really focus on it and induce new experiences. This mellows out.

9. Bonobo: yessss. I have a theta delta pendant and a little bronze ape face on the same chain that I pretty much never take off. I have a partial fursuit. A couple of slogan tshirts that reference bon behaviour. When I was early-mid 20s I did subtle, sneaky things to my hair :p (it was bluey black. Chin length. Layered. No one noticed who didn't already know!)

Mermaid: TAILS!! Tails tails tails. I like to incorporate nautical themes in my outfits as well. Shell accessories galore.

10. It's so hard to summarise. Psychological for certain. I think both of them were sources of comfort during turbulent formative years, and it stuck. Plus, I think I sometimes become the things I like if I get too attached. The bonobo type specifically helps me to contextualise some past stuff in a way that feels good? I've heard the term "personal narrative/mythology" thrown around and that idea resonates a lot. I dunno where the dysphoria bit came from, the grass is always greener on the other side is my best guess.

11. I tag everyone and no-one, so no one is under pressure!

Therian

Red fox :3

3/ Do you experience shifts? If so, can you tell us your most common shifts and your strangest cameo shift (if you've ever had a cameo shift)?

I have mental shifts, I have had a phantom shift (ears) one time, and the only cameo shift I can think of is a cameo dream shift (which I don't have dream shifts)

4/ How do you experience your alterhumanity in everyday life?

It's just there ig. Sometimes I act more fops, (due to mental shifts) and when I have species dysphoria I tend to do less

Pretty good from what I've seen, there's some bad stuff but overall it seems good

6/ What are the things that make you most comfortable and euphoric in your alterhumanity?

Being where I know I'm safe to do stuff ig, I also like fluffy stuff it's nice (helps with the fact I don't have fur)

7/ Are you experiencing species dysphoria?

Thankfully not right now

8/ What advice would you like to say to a young alterhuman who has just awakened?

Don't let anyone tell you how you should or shouldnt be/do because of your alterhumanity

9/ Do you have/want to have gears?

Yeah I wanna make a tail at some point

10/ Do you know/have any theories about the origin of your alterhumanity? If so, tell us! (all beliefs are legitimate)

Probably my autism (undiagnosed but I'm pretty darn sure I'm autistic)
