To all nonhumans, I do adore thee. Small little dogs, great ferocious creatures, strange cryptids, wolves that swim and run, insects and all there goings, flying (and non flying) birds, felines, equines, assortments of objects, dragons, angels, sea creatures, demons, vampires and gods, beautiful and strange plants, computers, robots, all of you really!!

I love thee nonhumans with disabilities, nonhumans who don’t use gear, who can’t or don’t do quadrobics.

Recovering or recovered zoophiles, nonhumans who are also furries, young nonhumans, adult nonhumans, queer nonhumans, physical nonhumans, nonhumans with delusions. I love all thee neurodivergent and not nonhumans, nonhumans with “gross” urges, nonhumans who experience their nonhumanity in a way that is less common. Nonhumans who feel connection to humanity, nonhumans who love humans and nonhumans who don’t.

Domesticated animals, wild animals, nonhumans who aren’t animals at all. Nonhumans with many kin types, nonhumans with few. Nonhumans with common kin types, nonhumans with uncommon kin types. Newly awakened nonhumans, those who have known their identify for a while and those who are still not entirely sure.

I do love all of thee dearly. I do implore thee to do the same to thineself and the others of thine community. I will say it over and over again, I do truly love thee.

hullo therian parent! I don’t know if it’s ok to ask you questions like this, so feel free to just delete this if you feel uncomfortable answering.

I’m kin with a character who’s a fictional race called valuka shuna, which are human/fennec fox hybrids.

I was similar in appearance to what people would consider a kemonomimi, with a human body and fox ears and tail. the thing is, I still consider myself a fennec fox therian (not psychologically or spiritually but… almost like a secret third thing?)

my question is, would that still be ok to be? should I just.. say I used to be a valuka shuna and leave it at that? or can I do what I want and just say I’m a fennec fox because of it?

My dear fox, you can absolutely do what you want. You can use whatever labels that you feel fit you the most. Therianthropy, otherkinity, and all their congruent labels are all meant to be personal to the user- to define who they feel they truly are. If you found peace with a label and it makes you euphoric from using it, then you're on the right track! The label may change over time, or it may not, and both of those are valid. Just be true to yourself, and listen to your soul for guidance. -Your Therian Parent

coyote rants about xis therianthropy

cw for mentions of blood and things like rhat ahhhfjd this is a more serious post than my last

i’ve been awakened as a therianthrope since early 2023 . and i’ve changed a lot since then . my gender , my theriotypes , everything . 2 years isn’t that huge in the long run , but it sure does feel that way .

my experience as a therian ? confusing . upsetting . joyful . strange . comforting . it’s everything good . it’s everything bad . it’s everything in between .

i often see other beings say their experience with therianthropy is [ usually strictly ] negative or positive . mine lingers in between .

i am aware that therianthropy is a very individual experience , though .

and speaking of that , i used to think i wasn’t a therian .

at first , i identified as one . but then , impostor syndrome got really bad , so i thought i was an otherlink [ which , i still hold that identity , but not to the extent that i previously did ] and that i had been faking therianthropy . i felt like i had been faking because after hearing of therians , i was like “ i think i may be one ” and i felt like i had chosen , even though i hadn’t .

only last year did resume identifying as a therian , which came after lots of consideration .

i have many theriotypes . though i mainly only discuss or post about my dog , coyote , and wolf theriotypes .

my shifts , when i [ rarely ] get them , are often rather intense . i most usually get phantom shifts , but mental and sensory shifts occur too .

phantom shifts don’t affect me that much . sensory and mental shifts are usually the most intense for me .

i most often get ear , tail , wing , and snout phantom shifts . my legs will sometimes feel like those of one of my theriotype’s too .

mental shifts for me are like i temporarily forget about my humanity , lost in the feeling of limbs that aren’t there . [ phantom and mental shifts often go paw in paw for me ]

sensory shifts are a bit stranger for me . they are almost always paired with ear or teeth phantom shifts . when i get tooth shifts , i chew on anything i can .

i have an urge to bite , tear away skin and fur / feathers / scales , gnaw on bones , and lap away blood . [ the blood part is also connected to my vampire kintype though ] most of my theriotypes are animals that hunt , so i can see why i feel that way .

speaking of hunting , packs . i long to be surrounded by others of my kind . being surrounded by humans makes me feel like an oddity , like i shouldn’t be there . i should be surrounded by other wolves . other canines . other animals .

therianthropy means everything to me . it affects me all the time , whether negatively or positively .

i used to wish it would go away , so i wouldn’t have to deal with the shifts and the species dysphoria .

but now i wouldn’t give it up for anything . i am my therianthropy . i am my theriotypes .

I am coming back to my most wolf self; I used to run through the grass and chase, I used to howl at the moon, I used to be free to embrace who I was, even if I felt so other, I was not afraid, although it hurt not to be able to sleep with my nose tucked under my tail.

I just started identifying as a vampire before I blocked all this out of my mind for many, many years, but I am trying to see if that still feels right. I know now I am a wolf and angelkin, maybe more. 

I am nurturing and loving and seeing seeing seeing who I am

Calling all angelkin, godkin, devinekin, aviankin, dragonkin, and any other flying kin out there: here, have some photos from my "pictures of super cool clouds I took on my flights to the main land" collection. My treat :3

Hope you enjoy <3

Sincerely, your fellow flying creature, Cadence ^w^

Edit: Just took a few more flights (and I'm gonna be taking more over the summer :]) so here, have some (1 for now cuz I'm on mobile, but there'll be more once my computer charges) more!

Species affirming packers are not sexual.

"But they have a knØt!!1!!" Its just anatomy. Plenty of human packers are hard. That doesn't mean that let's say, an asexual trans man wants to have sex because they use that human packer that happens to have a boner. It's just anatomy. That's what no one seems to understand.

Hello parent! May I have Snow Leopard affirmations? Please and thank you! Have a wonderful rest of your day! 😸

Your claws are so strong, little snow leopard, you're scratching bark like a painting on a canvas. Your paws leave indents in the snow like a map to your favorite destinations. Don't mind when they get covered by new-fallen ice, because you're a smart creature- The forests are yours to command. The trees hold you with love and dignity because they know your secrets but would never tell a soul. They know who you are, and the wild that runs deep in your heart. Do you know the same? I hope that you're able to find the peace within yourself and who you are to the core. It will be a beautiful sight for you to behold when it shines in the morning sun for all to see. Follow what your heart says, fluffy beast. It may take you through rocky terrain that you've never passed before, but you'll end up above the trees, farther than you would have ever thought to make it. Your paws will carry you there, as they know no fear. Your ears will catch every sound they find and your icy eyes will find food at your doorstep. The den you sleep in will shield you from the cold outside, keeping you warm through your dreams. You'll find your way, friend. I have full confidence that you will.

tw// discussion of genitals, zoophilia, harassment, transphobia, and sexual topics

has anyone else seen the controversy over species affirming packers? its been all over my feed and i have a lot of thoughts about it. the person that originally made them is actually my mutual on tiktok (where this whole thing originated) and i honestly think its not that big of a deal 😭

for context, a user named cyrusbarks on tiktok asked if anyone was interested in him making species affirming packers for alterhumans. a bunch of people were, so he made them and posted about it. they're sewn by hand with fabric and stuffing. they're not excessively detailed. since then, a LOT of people have been accusing him of being a zoophile and a predator because of this, which is insane to me.

first of all, packing isnt sexual and never has been. the only reason people think it's sexual is because it's genital related, which is just not correct. genitals arent sexual, and wanting species affirming gear isn't either. its no different from human packers made for trans folks already. but for some reason, people think that this specifically has sexual intent, despite not being usable in any sexual context.

second, a BUNCH of people have been misgendering him. Cyrus uses he/him and bark/barks pronouns and everyone ive seen talking about it has referred to him as They or She, both of which are misgendering. one person i was talking to literally said that he deserved to be misgendered. their exact words were "if someone's being odd... they don't deserve respect". i don't think i have to explain why this is an absurd thing to say.

third, people have been coming at ME for defending him, coming to my tiktok page calling me a zoophile. this is not only incorrect, but so, so hurtful. i love my pets so much, and being accused of being attracted to them is absolutely disgusting. my cat has gotten me through the worst times in my life, and people are implying that im abusing them because of my opinions on a stupid online controversy. its absurd.

my first mistake was expecting maturity and nuance on tiktok, i think. if you have any differing opinions or viewpoints, please please message or comment!!! i do genuinely want to discuss this topic and understand other people's viewpoints, as i feel very strongly about this. please just be respectful-- if you're just going to insult me, im not going to engage in conversation.

thank you for reading friends!
