Anon mostly sees therians and some otherkin on tiktok and youtube, and wonders if there will be a similar skew on tumblr or if there are more of other types here.

"Tiktok therians" Can we stop telling physical therians, Holotheres, Lycanthropes and other identities that aren't Spiritual / Physiologically that they're invalid and not part of the community?

Physicals, Lycanthropes, Holos and literally everyone else, Can we stop telling Younger therians, "TikTok therians," and other therians they're not part of the community?

Hey guys it's almost like you're trying to divide the community more! I know this is lowkey hypocritical because of my last post but like. The spiritual / Mental Anon is still a therian, surprise! I just think they should stay out of the Tumblr side of the community considering they chased everyone else off every other app especially tiktok, I genuinely have seen so many phys/holos/etc express discomfort because of the harassment on tiktok.

I also hate the way y'all treat each other because guess what, I was a tiktok therian! Oh my! It's almost like I developed as a person though and even discovered I might even be a physical alterhuman! Can we just educate each other and not try to 'outkin' each other???

It's highkey annoying, it's weird and the harassment of others in our community is so fucking embarrassing. I don't understand how the most "open-minded group" can be so closed minded towards each other when we should be trying to educate each other and motivate each other.

"Look at all the threats and insults that alterhumans receive on the internet!! It makes me sad..."

*laugh*

"why are you laughing? I don't see what's funny"

"You know, if the anti-alterhumans insult us, it's because they are frustrated at not being able to prevent us from being ourselves."

"and?"

"I love to frustrate my enemies (⁠｡⁠•̀⁠ᴗ⁠-⁠)⁠✧."

[stupid-lil-poetries]

I've been looking around alterhuman youtube, and I can't avoid the hatred, so here goes.

I love you otherlinks

I love you chosen therians

I love you physical alterhumans

I love you Holotheres

I love you zoanthropes

I love you lycanthrops

I love you alterhumans with "strange" 'types

I love ALL of you

[unetherian]

I only had awakening a few months ago so I'm not sure yet 😅

But I think I have a past life because sometimes smells, sensations,... seem familiar to me even though I've never known them before and I feel nostalgia, sometimes when am alone in nature.

Very often I have species disphoria, as if I miss my old daily life

like my old body misses me

as if I miss nature and my territory

I also have shifts ; phantom shift, mental shift, perception shift, and sometime cameoshift and dreamshift.

I love having shifts, I feel closer to my animality!(even if some shifts are not very pleasant)

I've always had shifts and memories, but before, I hid them deep in my heart, so people wouldn't think I was crazy.

But the more I grew up, the less time I had to go outside, I had to stay more and more in the city, in contact with people who only think about their phones and bothering, harassing people who are different

I realized that over time, I was losing a large part of my identity. I tried to find solutions to feel more like myself, but I couldn't really

And there, I discovered the alter human community

I discovered that I am therian

It's one of the most beautiful things that happened to me in my life.

I am not alone !!!!!!!!

Guys I’m actually kinda curious now,, why do you think you have your nonhuman identity?

For me personally it’s the fact I was lonely and animals gave me a sense of comfort.

Anyways!! What is your story? :3

[your-therian-parent-says]

pro tip its legal to make a den in your room out of blankets and pillows and plushies and sleep in it

it also costs zero dollars to hide in the darkness of your newly built den and make unsettling noises to ward off intruders

[koirankusema666]

Been meaning to say this for a while, but here's a not so gentle reminder that you don't have to be skinny, white and able bodied to be part of the nonhuman community.

Racism and ableism is sadly rampant in this community and I want this blog to be safe for the beings that feel excluded! If you want to, you can interact with this post if you are or your blog is safe for: fat, POC and disabled nonhumans. I wanna show some support, even if it's just a follow or a reblog here and there.

[dogtoothcanidae]

Nonhumans deserve to exist in public. We deserve to be able to wear gear if we want. To not have to tone ourselves down for humans. We deserve to be treated with respect and dignity just like everyone else.

[adolfusraptor1985]

[Tw: Zoophilia mention]

Genuine question: WHY do so many people in this community jump on everything they find weird and immediate label it as zoophilia?!

Like- animal packers, fantasy toys, yiff art, pet play, kink gear, LITERALLY ANYTHING.

Seriously, relieving dysphoria, having "dirty" urges related to your identity, even straight up liking some freaky shit does NOT mean someone is attracted to animals. And it definitely does not mean they are actively harming/thinking of harming real animals.

People really take whatever is too weird for them and try to accuse it of war crime. Be better y'all.

[lycantooth]

I love therians who are physically nonhuman due to delusions

I love therians who are physically nonhuman due to autism

I love therians who are physically nonhuman due to a personality disorder

I love therians who are physically nonhuman due to a physical disability

I love therians who are physically nonhuman due to trauma

I love all therians who are physically nonhuman for any reason whatsoever

Just because your experience of nonhumanity is less widely discussed or considered harmful or considered ‘problematic’ does not make your therianthropy less valid 🖤

✿Many types of shifts and their definition✿

While some seem more common than others, there are actually MANY types of shifts in our alterhuman, nonhuman, otherhuman, etc. communities. I will mention all the ones I know, but feel free to add to my list!

I have already published a French version of this post, today I present to you the English version! (and I'm sorry for my quite bad English, I use often Google translation)

Happy reading!𖡼𖤣𖥧𖡼𓋼𖤣𖥧𓋼𓍊𖡼𖤣𖥧𖡼𓋼𖤣𖥧𓋼𓍊𖡼𖤣𖥧𖡼

The mental shift

is one of the most well-known shifts in our community. During a mental shift, the individual's mentality becomes more or less like that of his type.

If the individual's type is an animal, for example, he may begin to think in a more animalistic way, relying even more on his instincts.

The phantom shift

is also one of the most well-known shifts. During this shift, the individual feels one or more body parts of their type, in addition to or superimposed on their body. These members can be tails, whiskers, snouts, fins, feathers, beaks, pads, shells, additional or different legs, etc. This sensation can vary depending on the individual.

Some will describe it as feeling like the member is actually there, and some will feel it as an energy, as if their soul is "protruding" from their body.

This part of the body is not visible.

Some people experience "phantom pain", such as getting their phantom wings stuck in a door, for exemple.

The perception shift

changes the individual's perception to bring it closer to that of his type. It can influence the way he sees himself, or the way he sees the world around him. (not to be confused with mental shift!)

The sensory shift

alters the perception of one or more senses (hearing, smell, sight, touch, and/or even taste), to be closer to those of its type. This does not really give superpowers, but rather focuses the shifter on some of his senses, distracting him from others.

There are several subcategories of sensory shift, such as auditory shift, olfactory shift, etc.

The cameo shift

can be quite strange, especially for those who are not used to it. A cameo shift is when you shift into something, someone, a creature, etc. but that one does not identify as this one. A cameo shift can appear in any form of shift.

Example: A unicorn otherkith experiences a unicorn ghost shift, this shift is a ghost cameo shift, because this individual does not identify as a unicorn.

An average human can experience this type of shift.

The koita shift

is often considered a subcategory of the cameo shift (the few times it is discussed). A koita shift is a shift triggered by looking at an animal/creature/etc. that one does not identify with. This shift can be triggered by looking at a visual medium (an image, a video), or by looking directly at this one/this.

Like the cameo shift, it can appear in every possible shift form.

The emotionnal shift

is a shift (of any form) caused by an emotion (often intense).

The space shift

is a shift quite well known to conceptkins, voidkins, elementkins, or even musickins. During a space shift, the individual has the sensation of filling a space, just like their type.

Example: A water elementkin swims in the ocean, it feels like it stretches as far as the eye can see as the water around it.

The aura shift

During this shift an individual's aura changes to become more in line with that of their type. This shift is often spiritual, but can also be explained/experienced psychologically.

The bilocation shift

The individual feels as if he is in two places at once. He will see the vision of his type at the same time as that of his body, and/or will feel the environment of his two locations at the same time.

The astral shift

is most often voluntary, and difficult to trigger. It is a shift often considered spiritual, but can be explained psychologically. During this shift, the individual's soul leaves his physical body and then transforms into or is his type. It is a kind of astral travel.

The dream shift

is a shift experienced in a dream, a dream where one is one's type or a dream where one transforms into one's type. This shift can be a memory from a past life.

The feral shift

is a shift experienced most often by clinical zooanthropes (clinical lycanthropes, clinical cinantropes, ect) where they involuntarily lose control of their body, where their animal part takes over.

These shifts can be dangerous because the individual may be frightened by the human world around him and act in a way that puts himself in danger, or can attempt to do things that their human body cannot do.

Some beings don't remember what happened during this shift after experiencing it.

The basercal shift

is the same as feral shift, but voluntary.

The shadow shift

is a shift most often caused by an optical illusion or a small hallucination. It is when an individual's shadow changes to become more or less like that of their type.

The miror shift

is a shift similar to the shadow shift, but with a mirror. It is when an individual's reflection changes to become more or less like that of their type.

physical shift (or P-shift)

is a shift caused by delusions and hallucinations. It is when an individual thinks they are or thinks they can transform into their type. The transformation can be complete or partial, and can be painful.

Normalize not witch hunting someone for getting their identity wrong..? I thought i had a certain theriotype but ended up being wrong, and then once happily announcing i found its actual label i was accused of lying and then kicked for lying...??????

I also recently got banned for my theriotypes not both being spiritual bc "they cant differ"

seems the community is doing GREAT.../sarc

[irl-wolf0]

Hot take: people who make therian gear (masks, ears, tails and whatnot) should take into account therians/otherkin who don’t just have $300 to throw out on gear. That people’s food for the week, necessities. I understand cost for materials or whatever but this is not accessible or budget friendly. Like ever. $50 should suffice.
