Personally, the idea of having "common" kintypes does not bother me at all (I know some therians feel fake for it, even though it's perfect normal)
Something that kinda drives me insane though, is the idea of me having like... 5+ kintypes. I know there is no limit to how many theriotypes one can have. But it makes me feel so fake. I have one confirmed theriotype, and I am heavily questioning 4 others. But now I'm also questioning if I'm a fox... As well as some kind of reptile. That would be 6 to 7 theriotypes.
There is no problem with someone having 7+ kintypes of course!!! It's just that the idea of ME having that many bothers me... It makes things so complicated... It makes me feel as if I'm just making things up to feel special.
Idk... Can anyone relate?
#Okay I'll tag this as each of the theriotypes I'm sorta questioning#And maybe y'all will see why it bothers me#dogkin#wolfkin#coyotekin#foxkin#deerkin#fishkin#insectkin#reptilekin#waspkin#beekin#crocodile therian#fallow deer kin#Are you seeing that??? That's a lot of options#HDHRHHRHRHHR

All the green outside (hello spring) got me in the mood to make a moodboard. I think it turned out well (my silly little hippocerf-self is very pleased with it!)
The season change has got me feeling my antlers a lot more lately, but they're still just nubbins.
As always, click for better quality!

Self care for a fallow deer doe?
Thanks :3
Self Care For A Fallow Deer Doe
Decorate Your Space
Fallow deer live in a wide range of environments! Decorate your space based on your habitat. If you can, get a houseplant of a species native to your environment, or get some decorative faux vines to make your indoor space more like your home! Fallow deer are also Crepuscular, meaning they tend to be more active at dawn and dusk. Use warm lighting in your space to make it mimic sunrise and sunset ( using salt lamps, candles, fairy lights, etc) when you want to relax and focus.
Gardening
If you can, start an edible herb garden! Fallow deer LOVE greens. You can grow things like basil, sage, and chives in a pot indoors by a window or on a balcony. You can also try growing microgreens, which can be harvested and eaten as soon as 5 days after sewing!
Watching The Sun Rise/Set
Since Fallow deer are most active at dawn an dusk, make it a ritual to watch the sunset and/or sunrise as often as you can. Bonus if you can find a quiet and serene space outside to do this and really connect with your kintype
Connecting With Nature
When/if you can. Take time to wander through the woods or a park, feeling the crunch of fallen leaves beneath your hooves feet. Let the gentle breeze ruffle your fur hair as you breathe in the earthy scent of the forest. I find doing stuff like this really grounding and great for my mental health
Creative Expression
Find a creative way to express your therian side. Draw or paint pictures of your habitat, dabble in creative writing about your kintype/home, embroidery trees and flowers on your clothes, write music that reflects what your kintype means to you!
------------------------------------------------------------
I hope these were helpful anon! I had a lot of fun researching fallow deer for this one! :)
-------------------------------------------------------------
Requests are OPEN

European fallow deer (Dama dama)
Though often associated with Northern Europe, during the last ice age this species was restricted to the Middle East and parts of the Mediterranean region. It wasn’t until the last few thousand years that human groups like the Romans and Normans introduced them all across Europe, and today they’re also found as invasive species in the Americas, Australia, and New Zealand. Their closest relatives are the Persian fallow deer, a sadly endangered species found only in Iran and Israel.

Wanted to share my kin list!
Note: I am a polytherian, holotherian, suntherian and ahumam. I also name my types/kins for convenience and fun!
I am okay with being referred to as [an] alterhuman if you wanna be vague! :)
Overall, I am an alterhuman and identify fully as a werewolf. I do not identify as being human whatsoever
Theriotypes;;
Julius - Golden Shepherd
Rover - German Shepherd
River/Brutus - Grey Wolf
Atlas - Coyote
Ember - Red Fox
Symmetra - Golden Maine Coon
Aurora - Snow Leopard
Rajah - Tiger
Serene - Cottontail Rabbit
Silo - Fallow Deer
Paris - Shire Horse
Gatsby - Big horn sheep
Tex - Aardwolf
Jesse - Red tailed hawk
Cerberus - Salt water crocodile
Rifle - Eastern diamondback rattlesnake
Paleotheriotypes
Sparrow - Dakotaraptor
Storm - Allosaurus
Therianmythic-types (aka more feral than otherkin)
Reaper - Dragon
Coldstone - Black crested Buzzard Eagle gryphon
--- 🍂🌄🍂 ---
Otherhearted (debatable)
Shark (between leopard shark and tiger catshark)
All/Any reptiles
--- 🍂🌄🍂 ---

--- 🍂🌄🍂 ---
Other/misc

--- 🍂🌄🍂 ---
I would also like to mention;;
I have suspected [clinical] lycanthropy (waiting a diagnosis) which does interfere with my life and sense of self but not my identity. I do also identity as a werewolf, but it is separate from my lycanthropy. I want to make that clear!
Although this can change in the future, even tho lycanthropy is a psychiatric disorder and not an identity, for the time being, they are indeed separate.
Also! Detailed flag list!

Ahh ty ty! Your so sweet omg- I have also never met any other squirrels lol. Gotta love when I don't know my own species (epic sarcasm) BUT GOOD NEWS: Bottlenose Dolphin is confirmed thanks to (a rlly unsettling phantom) shift! Your welcome! Anyways I have some questions, feel free to ignore hehe 1. What kin types are you questioning? 2. If you shift, what are your main shifts 3. Have you ever had the urge to go and hunt something down? or is it just me 😭 and Tumblr never gives me notifications if my asks get answered so I feel that lol- -Vivi <3
CONGRATS ON CONFIRMING YOUR KINTYPE THAT'S SO COOL AAAAA!!!!/GEN It's always so nice to learn something new about oneself ehehe
Sooo... Kintypes. I am questioning some kind of canine that probably(???) lives in packs. I'm pretty sure it's either a coyote or a wolf!
I'm also questioning a deer theriotype!! I'm pretty sure it's either a fallow deer or a white-tail deer! It's really confusing tho... I feel like both species could be me rrr
And of course... There's the aquatic one. Could be lots of animals. But it's probably a fish. A CARP. A COMMON CARP AAAAA that's way too funny to me. Big black scary dog, wild canine that ruthlessly hunts down its prey, a majestic deer that strolls through the forest like a king, and a carp. CARP
IDK IT'S FUNNY TO ME AAA

lady sabitha may be unknown to her yet, but there is a familiar bend to a woman's elbow that allows clarice to readily graft onto her companion. two ruling ladies walking arm-to-arm and with agendas of their own - that alone required something to live beyond meeting; would clarice need victoria's brilliance? her mother's ambitions? franklyn's tales of knighthood? perhaps clarice own strength of character would suffice, and she might dare to delight her like a knight from the stories, those great paragons of chivalry and honor that beckoned beautiful maidens from a tower and carried them off by swordpoint. and while clarice was not of champion-build, and sabitha was no moony-eyed maiden in need to be rescued, clarice still had strength and honor aplenty. her courage carried her forward with the surety of a noble steed between the grip of her knees. at present, the fog seemed to have lifted between them and so she allows a half-suppressed laugh at sabitha's own estimation of her needlework skills. "perhaps you may want to read us one of your poems at the weaving circle instead. a poem that speaks on why they call you the 'lady of ladies.'" clarice shares a shy, close-lipped smile with her. "i am curious to know why they call you that."
her curiosity only grows at mention of the hightowers and the hand they will play at sabitha's own ambitions. there are machinations yet to be discovered and they race in clarice's head in so many shapes and colors that she cannot help but feel as if the air around her has been pinched out of her whe she realizes the mistake she has made. she had easily judged lady sabitha's worth as another frog mucking around the pond and not perceived the clarity of her companion's ambitions - she held the confidence of the queen and arranged a marriage pact with the second most powerful house of the reach. clarice could not allow herself to trust her just yet, so she would bid her time during this meeting until she could bring these revelations to her mother, franklyn and victaria and see what sense they made of it. for now, she nods towards sabitha with respect and temperance. "the hightowers and the citadel are the torchlight that have always carried the realm forward in all the ways of enlightenment. they are also our most powerful vassals." clarice quirks her brow with a modicum of suspicion. "you are wise to know whom to ally yourself with." the sentiment goes through the same motion as wilting when her eyes brighten with warmth as she considers the light of the reach. "lady sam is my own kin besides, a rowan from from her mother and all the more beloved by me. knowing this, i am certain lady leyla will be good to your son." her smile persists on and roots onto sabitha now, only now it is borne out of sympathy. "my lady, you are a good mother to look out for your son's interests, even if you may do it alone. i am sorry to hear that you and your son's honor has been tainted by your lord husband's indiscretions. in interest of your son's rightful rulership, i would see to it that your husband's bastards are sent far away. bastards are made of evil and sin and will grasp at any small measure for power."
clarice folds in on herself as she takes a moment to glance at the ground, not out of bashfulness, but in emulation of a sore that had been prodded. her lorence would forever be held abreast to her like a silver arrow that had torn through the tenderness of a fallow deer. that arrowhead had once pierced through the soft and yielding core of her, leaving her with bated breath and a tremor of excitement running through the roots of her. now, it drove into her like a hammer onto the anvil, leaving a searing pain that left her gasping for relief. her heart had always been a betrayer in her own body, but no truths pulse across her face. instead, she faces the question with a dignified seriousness. "my lord husband was a good man. a fierce leader and a gentle husband who was loved by the commonfolk and highborn alike, long before i had become his lady wife." there is a pause between the statement and her next, an inhaled breath of softness as she thinks of their son. "he did not live long enough to be a father that a son could remember, but i know he would have been a patient, guiding hand to our lyonel, too."
clarice feels herself stiffen at the attention placed on the worst spectacle she has had to face in the short arc of her life, so she breaks away from sabitha and faces her with a grim seriousness. life would have it that she would not be a bride for long, but instead the lady-regent of the richest region of the realm. the strength it took to rise up from a broken heart is a fire in her eyes with little patience for illusions. "but i don't need your pity," she begins. "if we are to be friends, all i ask is for your understanding. so you must understand how he died." she resumes their journey along the length of the courtyard and keeps an even pace with sabitha. "he was killed by dornish spearmen along the prince's pass. they bled him like a pig long enough under the sun that he cooked within his armor." she lets out a straggled exhale at lorence's pain and her own. her hands grasp onto each other and begin to shake. "when they brought him back to me, the spear that dealt the death blow to his neck was still attached. i took it out and tried to mend the bones together with silver wires but it was impossible. my lorence was a broken thing that i could not fix." a rush of wind passes through them as a small disturbance and in the time it took for their surroundings to settle as they once were, clarice's expression had twisted with a corrosive hatred. "i used to rest easy knowing that he feasts in the Father's golden halls... that he does not suffer any longer. but that was before i was made to share a hall and make merry with the people that butchered my lord husband and the pirates of the summer sea who continue to kill the commonfolk of my lands. now do you understand?"
« Well... that was better than expected. » Sabitha was fully ready to receive a slap on the face if Lady Clarice stayed as furious as she appeared. She made enough bold moves to make her mother faint. Lady Clarice's blush was a welcomed surprise; Sabitha didn't expect to become just as red as her, that was for sure. Her hand was forced on the lady's heart, what other reaction was she supposed to have? « View on her eyes. Keep your damn view in her eyes, Sabitha. Have her eyes always been this pretty? Sabitha focus. » The thoughts were worthless, Sabitha was hooked by her brown eyes. « Oh, no... »
She tried to keep her composure. Although she realized her mind will keep coming back to this moment.—You're correct. Our sons one day will need to forge alliances of their own. —Sabitha tried to return to he political machinations, but she was difficult, her head slowly becoming a mess— It may interest you, my son Theo will soon be betrothed to Lady Leyla Hightower. So the Reach and the Riverlands can grow stronger... together.
Trust is built slowly. Sabitha had a lot of it. She felt the loneliness insert the Court too. She intertwined her arms with Lady Tyrell's. Hopefully it came as comfortable as possible for the other woman. —A good friendship must have mutual understanding. I wish to know you, my Lady. — She followed her steps, already forgetting where they were supposed to go in the first place. —As you can see, I'm terrible at neddlework, but I quite talented at poetry. Lady Jyzene proposed my marriage to her son, Lord Forrest, after she read it.
