#therian thoughts

[puppy-b0y-prince]

Ngl hate how the therian label has been watered down in recent years. As someone who's been part of the community since around 2009 its very disheartening.

Feels like tumblr is one of the only spaces that, while progressing, also retained the original meaning.

"you have an anxiety disorder" it's actually called being a bunny and it is perfectly normal and healthy for me to be like This !!

I like to think about non/alterhumans in their everyday lives.

There is a rabbit who made your sandwich.

An elderich being teaches a math course.

The local werewolf takes care of the elderly.

Rams make up the staff at a pub nearby.

Dragons make excellent library workers.

Your favorite cashier happens to be a lion.

Your overly punctual classmate is a moth, and your less than punctual classmate is a hummingbird.

A goldfinch shops at a gift shop.

A catfish tours you through a historical site.

Across the street is a banshee who is walking their dog.

Cats work on their computers in small cafes.

And you move through your life as you are.

We are unique but certainly not alone. Your community is around you, even if you do not see it outright.

Happy Howling!

Human fingernails are so disappointing, what does thou meanest I cannot slash open packagings and dig holes with these things. Why are they so blunt?!!? So fragile!!!? Tis shameful indeed!!! What am I to do with these??!!!

Why can't people do snuggle piles. If you look at social animals, they usually sleep in piles. Mice, rats, meerkats, wolves... I miss that. I need that. I feel so cold and alone without my packmates neetly stashed on and around me.

Why did human society restrict this kind of physical contact to romantic partners? I want my 5 spooning buddies, now.

It’s not really species dysphoria it’s species misery. species despair.

Friendly reminder that someone experiencing nonhumanity or alterhumanity differently from you doesn't mean they're faking and it doesn't mean you are either.

“there’s too much of X in the alterhuman tags” be the change you want to see in the world. “there’s not enough of X in the alterhuman tags” be the change you want to see in the world.

spam your rare kintype! share your unique experience! inspire others to follow in your bravery and individuality!

We're everywhere.

Therians and alterhumans are everywhere.

You walk past us in the park, the store, you drive past us, you talk to us, you go to school with us, you work with us.

And although it may not be evident, we are here.

We will always be here.

It's not a trend, it's a way of life. Therianthropy is not a choice, it's something you're born with. For some people, it takes them longer to discover that they're therians.

God, for all you know you could've gone to a McDonald's drive thru and talked to a German shepherd about how you wanted your Big Mac cooked. About how you want your fries with no salt. Your coke with no ice.

For all you know, your college professor could be a grizzly bear teaching you about ancient Roman history. The glee on his face as he explains the Roman empire.

For all you know, your doctor could be a stag, telling you that you need to cut back on the fatty foods; your cholesterol is too high. She tells you that you need to eat more salads and salmon.

We are everywhere.

We are all around you.

We are never leaving.

So, the next time you look around, just remember: we are your neighbors. We are part of the world, just like you.

“Therians don’t identify as animals” YES I FUCKING DO. I know I’m physically human but I am wolf. No question. I AM a wolf. Sorry.
