Reminder for nonhumans: quadrobics is not an easy or common thing to do & you do not need to feel bad about not being able to do it.

If you wanna do it- GREAT!! I believe in you, but please don’t beat yourself up for not being able to do it immediately; you really need to build strength and muscle up first

Quadrobics is an extremely difficult workout that combines calisthenics & aerobics- most folk I see doing this with “ease” are very slim & don’t carry much weight on their bones. This makes quadrobics much easier to work towards and perfect as they dont have to lift as much weight

And I need more of my older & heavier weight nonhuman peers to comprehend that.

I need more of us to comprehend & internalize that quadrobics is a complex exercise that requires a lot of physical strength; one that most bodies have to take time to build up to.

If you’re not gonna beat yourself up for not being able to easily lift 150 lbs first try- don’t beat yourself up for quadrobics taking time. And additionally- be nice to your body for its reasonable limits! Not being able to walk on all 4’s doesn’t mean your body is bad; it just means it’s different

Wolf Therians or Werewolf Otherkin?

So, I’ve noticed that a bunch of therian wolves would seemingly be better describe as werewolf otherkin. What do I mean by that? I mean that they identify more with the cultural/psychological figure of the werewolf, rather than an actual wolves. A great example of this is the descriptions of rage. It’s a relatively human emotion. Granted, animals probably do feel rage too, but I’d doubt that it’s as characteristic of them as it is of humans.

However, rage is a very negative emotion, and as usual with negative emotions, we can’t quite accept them as part of ourselves. It plays into the concept of the Jungian shadow; our “negative” side becomes something other than ourselves and risks wresting control of ourselves if not dealt with properly. Thus, the werewolf: a creature that has nothing in common with a real wolf except superficial appearance, and instead has everything in common with our own dark side: bloodthirsty, hateful, enraged, and infectious. 

Especially teenagers might find themselves fascinated by the kind of emotions that the werewolf exemplifies. Didn’t we all have those days (or years) of hating absolutely everyone, when we were at our worst? Wolves, meanwhile, are a relatively calm animal. They rarely attack any humans, and if they do, it’s hardly out of malice. As I said, wolves have little in common with werewolves.

Which brings me to my point: those who describe their therianthropic experiences as more of the former would probably be best described as werewolf otherkin! Certainly, the creature they identify with is not encountered in nature.

…right? Remember to voice your potential disagreements (or agreements), I want to hear them.

!! READ !!

If you’re a therian and have territory in the woods/forest(s) please wear orange! There are hunters that can kill you if you’re wearing a tail or ears (because usually that’s all they see is those two things). When hunters see orange they know you aren’t a target so please wear something orange.

Hi! I hope you’re doing well! May I ask you to make a Button’s banana slug (Ariolimax buttoni) fashion kit? If I may, I would like it to include either masc or androgynous items (just anything but femme), but necklaces and/or bracelets are allowed. I would prefer more casual clothing that I wouldn’t fear to get dirty. This includes what one would wear for lounging around, hiking through the park, or a combination of the two. You are allowed to use slug imagery and/or base the outfit on the look of the slug, as long as you don’t include masks or any gear that would make me look like I am wearing a slug Halloween costume or something. I’m not against masks, I would just rather make one of my own. Thank you for your time if you read this, and good luck! I know a slug theriotype is a bit unorthodox.

Thanks for the Ask! it’s funny how many snails come up when you search for slugs lol

for me, I kinda “just knew” that I was much smaller than most wolves, had colouration atypical of most wolf subspecies, and tbh “wolf” just never felt right to me. I’m also much more solitary / less social than a wolf, and there are subtle differences in my “habitat” (though I’m an Eastern coyote; if you’re a Western coyote you probably belong in the desert, where not a whole lot of wolves belong, so that could help differentiate)

Hello! Question- how do you differentiate between coyote and wolf feelings/identity? I'm struggling with that myself lately and wanted to see how others figured it out c:

Hi! It can be pretty difficult seeing as they’re incredibly similar, but, I primarily get phantom shifts, and those are vastly different (narrower snout, smaller nose, larger ears, more triangular overall face, smaller build as a coyote). Otherwise, primarily in prey (smaller prey such as voles or hares as a coyote, hunting large ungulates as wolf in a pack) and behaviour such as yipping and barking, and the fact that I don’t feel the need for a pack as a coyote, only a mate. Feel free to ask about specifics since there’s a lot of stuff that’s different!

Wearing my tail (it’s a big, stuffed tail) around the house has genuinely improved my mood. Even if I’m just sitting or doing something mundane, like carrying laundry, it makes “humaning” so much more tolerable. Before I never really wore gear, aside from occasionally my tail or ears out to special occasions (parades, fairs, etc), for fear of breaking it or wearing it down— but I realized the point of owning something is that it’s meant to be used (trying to unlearn the whole “keep figures in their boxes” mindset) and honestly? It’s so, so nice. I took a nap wearing my tail today. I woke up warm and happy.
