"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!

To any creature that feels ashamed of their inhuman desires, don’t be.

Wolves will always feel hunger.

Lions will always crave the chase.

Vampires have always drank blood.

Dragons have always burned their enemies.

Hunters itch for the hunt.

Be yourself, even if yourself is abnormal and disgusting.

Bare your teeth and snarl. You are not alone

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.

What do humans have against catkins?

Like, just the other day, I overheard my family make a joke, "and some people identify as cats." It was the only part I could hear, but it made me realize something.

Every time people talk about therians/otherkins, it's always the cats they go after.

Which says a lot about how little they know.

So don't care about what they say. They clearly don't have any clue what they are talking about.

“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!

I try to pretend that this body is a disguise to trick humans into thinking I'm also a human, but like, I'm also really bad at acting human

You are valid nonhumans who don’t use gear, who don’t dress alternative or come across as “normal”

You are valid nonhumans who didn’t show many signs or any before they found out

You are valid nohumans who have humanoid theriotyoes or connections to humanity

You are valid if you do or don’t experience shifts

You are valid if you have mental illnesses, any mental illness, not just the “acceptable” ones

You are valid if you keep your identity secret and valid if you don’t

Valid if you have obscure theriotyoes or common ones

Valid if you’re a system.

Valid if you’re kin types originate from fiction

Valid if you have many types or only few

Valid if you use labels or you don’t

You should not have to fight and justify yourself in your own community. You are valid

[celestiallyslimy]

watching wolfwalkers until you get tired and gnawing on those prosciutto mozzarella meat sticks is such caninekin-coded behaviour only weird bitches would do that (im weird bitches)

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.
