#therian polls

[therian-and-nonhuman-polls]

How much do you know about the Silver Elves?

... The whats?

I've heard of them but I don't know anything about them.

I know a little bit about them.

I know a decent amount about them.

I know a lot about them through research.

I know a lot about them because I am one.

even if your kintype cant or doesnt attack anything, its fine to choose what you think it would if it could

I am quite curious about what religions make up the nonhuman community. Let this be a place for respectful and educational conversation.

[aphelion-alifer]

how do you experience nonhumanity?

I thought this would be a fun and interesting thing to do! I've never done a poll before, so let this one be the first. my apologies to any experiences or identities that weren't included, this was just for fun :)

I know this is off topic for my blog but I've been thinking about starting a blog where I draw ur 'types in this style but I don't know if people be interested soooo

Poll for therians :3

(Definitions below the poll)

Paleotherian: A therian whose theriotype is part of an extinct species.

Theriomythic: a therian whose theriotype comes from fiction, mythology, etc. Some people might want to point out to me that "yes but that's not therian it's otherkin", not really, a therian involuntarily identifies himself as an animalistic being, if it is imaginary, as long as it is animalistic, it is a therian. An otherkin unwittingly identifies as an imaginary creature that has some form of anthropomorphic consciousness (use of speech, for example).

Thinking about making a separate blog for talking about more scary kins. Vultures are seen as scary and gross already, but it's nothing compared to bugs.

Specifically, one of my alters recently found out that she's a black widow spider and I just... See so much hate on bugkins or spiders and other "scary" kins as well. I know she also considered a common European adder and decided to forget about it because it's not a common, cute or fluffy kin...

My local conventions start happening in a few months, and I really want to make more non human friendos

But I don't want to be like, HEY YOU, YOU THERE. ARE YOU A THERIAN??? bc i am a coward who's afraid of bullying.

So I was thinking of using those convention signs/plates (y'know, those little cheap writing board signs that come with the stapled handle) to find some!!

The question that I'm thinking on would be:

"Do you support therians?

Yes // no // idk what that is"

Y'all can steal my idea if you want!! Just tell me if you do (so I can be happy and not feel stupid about my idea)

[therian-and-nonhuman-polls]

do you/would you eat your kintype?

[candieduranium]

note: whichever feature is replaced, you also get the sensitivity of that feature. ex: if you chose eyes, you would also receive the kintype’s eyesight.

polykins, choose your main kin if you have one.

“snout” is used as an umbrella term in this context

eyebrows not included lmao

I saw this a lot on therian tiktok:

People naming their gear. Not their theriotypes, or adopting a 'therian name', but naming their gear itself, ie having a wolf mask named Smoke or a cat mask named Ginger.

The main talking point FOR doing this was naming the gear made it easier to differentiate between different gear sets without having to say 'the gray mask' or 'the brown tail' because they could just say 'Cloudpelt' or 'Pine'.

The main talking point AGAINST this was that it made people seem like they were roleplaying instead of actually identifying as a 'real therian', and/or it made your theriotype look like a fursona instead of a theriotype.

I've always been neutral on this because idgaf about what other ppl do but I'm curious to hear more thoughts/opinions on this :3

Btw, obligate carnivores and obligate herbivores eat only meat or only plant material, respectively. For example, dogs and wolves are not obligate carnivores, while cats are because they can’t digest anything other than meat.

Most herbivores are not obligate herbivores, so you might want to check if your -type is before answering.

personally i like kit best, but i wouldn’t mind pup either.

(adults are allowed to vote too! thought i should go ahead and clarify that before anyone assumes otherwise)
