Slung a jacket over one shoulder for easy transport and got an unexpected hit of actually really liking how it looked and felt, so - not sure if it was already unexpected ‘link euphoria, but it is now

Nonhuman expressions of affection are great. Purring. Exposing weak points as a show of trust. Head bonks. Preening and chewing. Nuzzling. Biting. Intertwining tails. Feeding each other. Little chuffs, chatters, beeps and squeaks. Fluffing up of feathers, fur or other things. Dancing to impress. Cleaning their fur, scales, feathers or skin. Sharing body heat. Ears pointing toward those you care about to show your full attention is on them. Slow blinking.

I've seen anti-kins claiming that all therians are just felines and canines more than once and it is just so funny to me because they fail to see how diverse we actually are as a community because they never actually... yk... look. They just judge based on what they see on the surface.

We were pioneered by elves like myself. I've met dragons, armadillos, pangolins, horses, possums, stoats, kangaroos, monkeys, crows, angels, zombies, ant-eaters, dinosaurs, hedgehogs, owls, hamsters, hell, I've met bugs. There is so much diversity within the therian community that close-minded people refuse to see.

So basically... Shoutout if you have a common kintype! Shoutout if you have an uncommon kintype! And a special shoutout to celestials, infernals, elves, dragons and paleos because y'all are metal. Love you all!

the weirder parts of being nonhuman

it seems that a lot of the content on here about therianthropy tends to be the more digestible parts - running through the woods! wind in your fur! howling at the moon!

but i think there's also a lot of like, weirder, more embarrassing parts that are a bit hard to find space to talk about.

at the risk of being screenshotted and made fun of somewhere else on the internet, i'll say that one of the earliest manifestations of my therianthropy is that i crave raw meat and blood.

as a kid, i would watch nature documentaries and become envious at the sight of a lion ripping into a zebra, or a wolf into a deer. it literally made me hungry. it was mouthwatering.

i would comment on it to the people around me, under the assumption that this was a normal feeling. i vividly remember being told that it was really strange and gross. i was probably like, 6 years old when it started.

when i was around 12 or 13 my mom would buy beef marrow bones for the neighbor's dog. at night, i’d sneak out to the kitchen, steal one from the freezer, and chew on it for a while.

wow! i’ve never told anyone that, and it feels so cringe to admit.

my nonhumanity feels so primal, so deep down in my bones. i have no desire to hurt any animal, and i don't think i could, but my entire life i have wanted to experience ripping into a warm, fresh carcass.

the sight of raw meat makes me ravenous. and i think a lot of people get it, kinda. seeing a nice steak at the grocery store is appetizing, y'know? but i’d even go as far as to say that the sight of a dead, bloody animal is too.

however, i think feelings like these are not uncommon.

it's also one of those things that i feel is so quintessential to my being, one of the first things i ever felt that made me realize i wasn't exactly human.

if you have any similar experiences/thoughts i'd love to hear about it ♡ and honestly, if you can empathize w this at all, i'd love to know :')

thanks for reading xx

I love how silly coastal wolves' expressions can be sometimes like yes this is me

Therianthropy is not new to us but it is new to the general public. Millions of people assumed that everyone identified with having a human body and being human and now that they've discovered that there are people who don't they are having negative reaction to it. Species is seen as something strictly biological and our existence is disrupting that 'fact' And it's difficult to explain what non-human animal hood is or what it feels like because it's a deeply personal feeling that's unique to everyone. The world needs time and I do think we'll get there eventually.

otherlink are just as real as otherkin and therians. it doesnt matter if your identity is voluntary or involuntary. one isnt superior or inferior to the other.

stop thinking of voluntary identities as fake, less valid/real, less 'worthy', or inferior.

stop thinking of involuntary identities as more valid/real, more 'worthy', or superior.

we are siblings, not strangers. not enemies. not opposites
