Dear Friend ♥️🌿

I hope this message finds you well. Due to the ongoing conflict in Gaza, we have lost everything—our newly built home and my husband's job. I gave birth to our baby Yamen just three months after the war began, and it is all he has ever known as his future is in real danger.

I would be truly grateful if you could spread awareness about our situation by reblogging the pinned post and, if possible, consider donating €10 or €20. Your support can make a significant difference for Yamen’s future 🌼✨.

Our campaign is verified and shared by:

Thank you for your kindness; it means the world to us 🌷🤍.

Warm regards,

Ghadeer Al Arqan (Ashraf's wife)

Good luck, I can't give but I'll reblog.

Courage, you are really strong, you, your family and the people living the same horrible things. 🍉🍉🍉

I knew it was a problem, but not to this extent...

I discovered the community on Youtube short, and I thought before that being therian was quadrobics and masks. I wanted to join the community to calm the species dysphoria that followed me long before I discovered the community.

After doing some research, I awakened, and I knew that theriantropy is much more than that. But the fact that I found almost only quadrobics videos to entertain myself in the community made me believe that it was the "norm", it influenced me and I didn't know any others ways to connect with myself.

Now I have found reliable sources where I could inform myself, and I have discovered that finally there are beings who can express and connect with their theriantropy without quads and gears.

I think we should highlight other ways of expressing and connecting with our theriantropy than quads, gears and vocals. This will surely give a more accurate image of the community to "new" therians and beings who barely know the community.

And the educational videos are very good and very useful, I would like there to be more, but I would love to see entertaining videos for therians that are not only quads.

Otherkin Community; We need to talk.

I love this community, from those who identify via spiritually to psychologically & everything in-between and outside of that- literally everyone. BUT, we need to address the elephant in the room that is TikTok therians and otherkin doing genuine harm to the community.

Our population is growing due to their work, and although it makes me happy to see so many others discovering themselves, it also makes me sad because we are seeing the meanings of words changing and yes that's how language works, but these changes are not going to be healthy long term.

I originally wasn't going to make this post until something happened the other day that made me realize how big of an issue this is. I come from a personal experience that's actively going on irl for me

Now I won't get into details out of respect for everyone's privacy, but it's important I address this. One of my siblings has discovered the otherkin label through TikTok and is now identifying as wolfkin... BUT they are now having daily meltdowns because they cannot eat from a bowl on the floor during family dinners. They are adamant at doing strictly quads because "that's what otherkin is" and they have become so mentally distressed because they feel the need to prove themselves due to what is being advertised on TikTok. They believe that they need to outwardly appear as a wolf 24/7.

I personally believe that I am a faerie shapeshifter, I believe I am one 24/7, but I'm also aware of time and place. I do not bark at people in public (yes my sibling is now doing this). It is causing them genuine mental health issues, as they are genuinely screaming and crying every day, and it doesn't help that our family is not very understanding of it, especially since my sibling is an adult still living at home. They are autistic, and take things VERY literally, they are also very lonely due to their disability and have always been desperate to find a sense of community. I've attempted to explain to them that they don't need to prove anything to anyone, and that being otherkin can mean more than quads, but they're adamant that this is right for them despite the daily breakdowns and overwhelming dysphoria, (that they admit that they didn't have before). They're in therapy, but I'm not sure how that's going since I do not live with them, everything that I know is from what I've seen during visits and what my family has told me, as they're at a loss as they were in the middle of trying to get my sibling into college. Now that they're a wolf, they have no interest in education 🙃

I'll be honest, I am worried about their safety, my whole family is. We live in the south, and people are not kind to the mentally ill being in public. (if anyone has any advice I'm genuinely willing to hear it btw)

And although I know this is an individual problem with a lot of factors outside of the otherkin community, I know my sibling is not the only person experiencing this. There have been a lot of new members of the community expressing extreme dysphoria and pressure to be like the TT creators. AND I'm seeing a lot of confusion on what being nonhuman/alterhuman is now (especially now that a lot of these TT creators are backtracking in order to save face), and I think we're in a really awkward spot as a community.

Do NOT send hate to these creators, and do not think I am advocating for their hate, trying to gatekeep, or saying that they're not part of the community- they are. They're valid, and they're real, there's just some harm coming from the lack of transparency, and I think we as a community need to stop ignoring it. We need to prioritize education.

Now to those who are new; You do not have to prove your identity to anyone. You don't need gear, you don't need to act or talk a certain way- you don't even need to let anyone know what you identify as. Live your truth, it's yours, and it's sacred. Do not let anyone dictate what is the right way to be YOU. Please do not get wrapped up in the nightmare that is overconsumerism and the blind following of trends and expectations. Do what's best for you, and if being otherkin is genuinely causing you distress, please be willing to look into why that is. Your identity should NEVER be making you mentally unwell. Now please take care of yourself, drink some water, eat a snack if you need, and make sure you get plenty of rest.

[unetherian]

I read it all, and I totally agree with you!

I support you all, therians and all the other individuals who do no harm to anyone <3

You are important and you are loved

Yeah, you can say that "I believe every therian is valid!" but do you really mean it?

Here's a *VERY UNOFFICIAL* list of what you could ask yourself before claiming you support every single therian. Sometimes, without even knowing it, we are biased and prejudiced against others. This is just the nature of all creatures, I believe. If you're curious, read below. It's a long post, so please be patient and thank you if you take the time out to read through all of this.

So, do you...

Support those who try out the therian label, even if they aren't sure if they're wrong about being a therian? This includes children, y'all.

Be normal about therians who reject their human body, or embrace their human body and still call themselves human to some degree?

Not judge when a therian says they are a therian to something that would "technically count" as fictionkin, otherlink, otherhearted, etc.? (i.e. "I'm a Moana therian!", "I'm a chosen therian.", "I feel connected to this animal, therefore I am this animal. I identify as a therian.")

Not feel the urge to gatekeep therianthropy from those you deem "aren't therian enough", or are "too weird" for therianthropy.

Look down on therians who don't shift, and don't have animalistic urges.

Accept polytherians with a high number of types. I'm talking 100+ theriotypes.

Believe that spiritual, psychological, physical, biological, genetic, or mental, etc. therianthropy is above one another.

Support therians using obscure labels to describe their experiences?

Not get defensive when someone tells you that they can physically shift into their theriotype, and not accuse them of being an abusive and dangerous individual?

Actually want to listen to the experiences of individuals that tend to black out during shifts? Instead of pushing them away and telling them to simply "get help" once they explain that this has happened to them before?

Acknowledge that alterhumans are intensely varied, and your own personal definition of what certain terms are won't apply to everyone else you see and interact with?

Don't scoff, figuratively roll your eyes, or side eye whenever someone who is physically nonhuman speaks about their nonhuman body parts and experiences?

Understand that therianthropy can be a random occurrence, and doesn't have to have a specific origin at all? While also accepting the fact that some folks are just... innately nonhuman at birth? Including physically?

Not shut down folks speaking about more "ugly" nonhuman urges, by human standards?

Be able to maintain the basic definition of therianthropy without trying to exclude groups of other therians? An example being: "Therianthropy is an identity phenomenon where a human being identifies as an animal on a non-physical level." Gentle reminder that not every therian is a human, acknowledges that they are human, wants to acknowledge their humanity, or are straight up just not human at all. To add because it's also important, not every therian is nonhuman non-physically. A more inclusive definition would be "An identity phenomenon where an individual has an animalistic, or adjacent identity in which they believe in some part, they are an animalistic being, or something that does not align with humanity."

Not just see spiritual therianthropy as being about just past lives.

Acknowledge that therianthropy is insanely complex, and will hardly ever be rigid and non-fluid for most folks?

Stay patient with younger therians who are trying to figure out their identity?

Not see otherhearts as "therianthropy-lite"?

Understand that psychological therianthropy can also stem from psychotic conditions, personality disorders, and other less talked about and "ugly" conditions, and isn't just "My autism made me a dragon" or "My trauma made me a dog"? (Not saying something like autism and trauma isn't serious, just saying that these are often what beings tend to mean when they say "psychological therian".)

Embrace that some folks do have ugly experiences with their therianthropy, and struggle due to this? (Clinical zoanthropes that consider themselves therians talking about their transformations, endels talking about how they've been isolated from friends and family due to their delusions, therians with mood disorders whose therianthropy is affected by their mood, therians who experience conditions such as zoochosis, etc.)

Not roll your eyes when a therian expresses their therianthropy through gear and quadrobics?

There's a lot more I could go on about, but these are what I could think of for now. If someone disagrees with a point, or wants me to correct it, let me know and I'll be sure to tweak the post.

Also, please remember that if you happen to not do some of these, or do any of these things, it's okay. You still have room to improve and grow to help the therian community heal. And, if you don't want to "improve" with any of these things, that's also chill. I won't bite. I'm curious to see what discussions can be made out of posts like this.

Happy birthday to the cradle of our community: Alt Horror Werewolves !

This site was created on November 16, 1992, 32 years ago, if I'm not mistaken.

It was a forum for werewolf fans, whose conversations oriented towards these feelings that we now call theriantropy.

Happy birthday A.H.W.W. !

I highly recommend reading up on the early history of the community, which takes place in this place, it's really interesting!

HAPPY THERIANTROPY DAY!

This incredible community deserves to have its history remembered!

These unique experiences should be celebrated!

All members of our community must be accepted and loved!

What is Theriantropy Day and how to celebrate it?

[PT: What is Theriantropy Day and How to Celebrate It?]

A post for those who want to learn about this day that is so important for many of us! Enjoy reading!

So, what is theriantropy day?

[PT : So, what is theriantropy day?]

Theriantropy Day is an unofficial holiday occurring on the first full moon of November. This day is in honor of theriantropic experiences and identities and the history of our community that has come a long way to become what we know today.

This date was chosen because the first official Howl (a Howl is a big therian meet up) also happened on the first full moon of November. It was the first time the community came together offline to be themselves in public.

Why was this day created?

[PT : Why was this day created?]

This day was created to remember and educate ourselves on the history of the community so as not to forget it because, after all, we owe at least that much to the beings who forged our community, right?

It is also a special time when we can celebrate our experiences, our theriantropic identity. Celebrating our community, our beautiful safe place which, despite its flaws, has guided us to the discovery and acceptance of ourselves.

How to celebrate this day?

[PT : How to celebrate this day?]

There is no official way to celebrate Theriantropy Day. Everyone celebrates this day in their own way. Some people like to create their own traditions, alone or with loved ones, and others just do one little thing that makes them happy and continue their day like any other.

Here are some things to do to celebrate the day:

-Spend time with accepting loved ones!

-Watch documentaries, read things about the history of theriantropy!

-Take care of your physical and mental health, take a walk in the forest, take pictures of the animals on your way, or retreat into your den/nest and connect with your theriotype(s),...

-Write yourself a letter for the next theriantropy day, or for the theriantropy day in 5 years, etc! Ask all the questions you have at the moment about your feelings, make a little drawing, tell us about this strange dream shift that you did last night or talk about this man with a theta delta necklace that you saw this morning, and do not touch this letter again before the imposed date.

-Meditate with your theriotype to try to shift, connect, etc. as your animal self.

-Reread your old Therian journals or start with one!

-Draw your theriotype, watch documentaries about it, listen to nature sounds, etc.

-Wear or craft gears! (remember gears aren't just tails, masks and ears)

- do vocals !

-Listen to music that you associate with (your) theriantropy

Have a purrrrfect theriantropy day!

Take care of yourself, drink water. You are important, you deserve to feel good.

Bye!

[unetherian]

Hi!

I have a question... Can a shapeshifter (or shapesshifterkin if you prefer),more precisely a non-physical one, transform into two different things at the same time?

This is for someone I know who is questioning this identity.

Edit: thank you very much for these answers, it helped a lot <3

Salt dough self-expression pendants!

[PT: Salt dough self-expression pendants!]

I've been wanting to try this for a long time.

My theriantrope pendant :

On the visible side I painted a puma paw (my theriotype) and on the hidden side a theta delta.

My pride pendants :

I was worried that the lgbtqia+ inclusive flag would be too difficult to paint on something so small, but it ended up looking great.

I used acrylic paint and gouache, I highly recommend acrylic paint because gouache makes weird little bits of paint when you apply the color (but it was still usable).

The recipe for salt dough:

Ingredients : salt, flour, water

You will also need a container to prepare all this in and another smaller container that will be used for measuring.

Fill the small container with salt and pour the salt into the large container.

Mix the salt and try to grind the larger grains (I didn't do this so the dough had small lumps).

Fill the small container with flour and pour it little by little into the salt, mixing well.

Refill the small container with flour and repeat the previous step. It takes two doses of flour for one dose of salt.

Mix well, then gradually add the contents of a small container of water.

Then knead the dough with your hands for 5 minutes (or more if you have made a huge quantity)

When the dough is ready, put it in a box or plastic wrap so that it doesn't dry out.

Now create things, pendants, beads, statuettes, etc. and let them air dry for at least several days.

And there you have it! :3

[unetherian]

Yeah, a message that will move the world forward.

[unetherian]

When I mention all the terms that designate my identity, I am told that I am just showing off and that I am just normal.

But when you think about it, there are so many terms to describe the complexity of consciousness that everyone is a combination of many words that have existed and never will exist.

The more introspection you do, the more terms you find to put to your feelings.

I am

-alterhuman

-or nonhuman I don't really know

-a puma therian

- maybe an omnicambitherian ? Idk if it exists

-agender

-pansexual

-maybe demisexual

-panromantic

-transandrogynous (in my physique)

-something towards naturkith (for the moment it's the term that corresponds the most to my feelings)

I like to dissect my identity. Many of my feelings don't have names, so I have a hard time talking about them, but I love analyze them.

I think that's why there are a lot of lgbtqia+ people (for example)in the alter/nonhuman, alterbeing and other/semihuman communities: we're not people who try to be interesting. We are just beings who like to dive deep into our hearts and think with it.

[unetherian]

Dear alterhumans and nonhumans,

Don't try and appeal to people who don't understand you. People are always going to think we're strange, cringe, and delusional. There's nothing you can do about it. Just let them. You know who you are, and you accept you. In the grand scheme of things, thats all that matters :]

There IS a community that accepts you and wants to understand you, so stop obessing over the ones who never will.
