have you ever heard of primal, the old therian/furry conlang? do you have any thoughts on it?

I hadn't until now and I'm shocked to see that it was created in 2001. Those are the old days! There seems to be very little information left on the internet. The website is down, but, more importantly, the url itself has been excluded from the internet archive, so you can't pull it up on the Wayback Machine. That's really a shame. It means that the owner of the site has requested specifically that the url be excluded. Now, that's the top level domain, so it may be that there are other things on the site the owner didn't want archived, rather than the language specifically, but the upshot is we can't seem to get direct information on the language.

It did have a Langmaker profile, so it looks like the wider conlang community was aware of it in one form or another.

Hey, BlueSky to the rescue! Apparently there's another internet archive called Archive Today and they have three snapshots. Here's one. Unfortunately the links on that page no longer resolve.

So yeah, there's not much to say. From the example on the page on the furry wiki it doesn't look particularly groundbreaking, but it's certainly an older conlang worth recovering, if at all possible. Perhaps we can start here.

Is there anyone around that ever purchased a copy of the grammar? They were selling physical copies at the time. Maybe we can get something from the language and put it up on Fiat Lingua.

UPDATE: Before I even posted this someone pointed out that the site had been rescued, but in download format. You can find it here.

werewolves and werebeasts! I’ve always considered myself a werewolf therian despite it technically being fictional and I wanted to see how werewolves categorise themselves within the community

PLEASE reblog if you vote for a larger sample size

(do not count other animal types in ‘multiple’ im looking specifically for werebeasts here)

this might be a bad take, however: The reason why therianthropy feels 'fake' and 'like a trend' is not because of masks/tails/quadrobics it's because of the way content creation and social media erode identities into an easily marketable and consumable list of things to do.

Yes, you're right, "I'd kill for you – please, ask me to kill for you" is a fun relationship dynamic, but where's the love for the classic attack-dog power dynamic reversal? I'd have thought Tumblr would be all over that one, too. The old "I'll kill for you – and kill, and kill, and kill, if needs be – but first you have to tell me exactly what it is you want. You are not permitted moral distance. Tell me what you need from me and admit your soft hands are just as bloody as mine. Say it. Say it."

Man, the flesh sucks. I'm gonna abandon it for the machine.

Constantly obsessed with the concept of a man forced to be a myth. What do you do when every step you take is embedded into the text. Every word you say prose to read. You're part of something bigger than yourself. The narrative tugs you along like water currents. There is no time to rest, to be human. You must be great, you must be legend

i dont vibe with most of the aesthetic posts under therian/nonhuman/kin tags. theres a lot of forest pics, forest themes or just nature and wilderness and i feel disconnected. sure it can be fine sometimes, sometimes i enjoy nature. but i dont really love it. i love cities. i love neon, i love bridges, i love railroads, i love wires. my home smells of wet asphalt, dusty blocks, dirty cars and cold steel. i would rather lost in overwhelming smells of the city than ramble in a calm forest. i would rather sleep on a big comfy sofa than on a pile of leaves. i prefer stealing human sweets over hunting for a raw meat. i am very spoiled urban dog. and none of my kintypes is wild. and yes, life in the city can be hard, and sometimes i get scared by elevators or crowds or loud noises but life far from city would make me really really unhappy. if past lives are real thing then all my past beastselves lived in a city. i know that i am minority in therian community, but i cant be the only one.

reblog and put in the tags what pokémon you think prev would be

i’m gonna elaborate it’s a big pet peeve of mine when people cannot fathom others identifying as not human, like there’ll be a post explicitly talking about being a dog of sorts and having canine desires and it then gets reblogged of like loll puppygirl things!!! so dogboy coded!!! and it gets passed around and around losing what the initial message of the post was

like. no im a literal dog, im a creature from folklore even, the black dog, that’s what i identify as outside my human body, its literal and says it on the tin, yet people will think its oooo metaphors and woahhh poems and ooohhhh desires surely nobody can have

idk it’s just weird to me, like yes we do identify as animals and fantasy beings, it’s quite literal, sometimes characters even, but people either make fun of it or think it’s just something metaphoric with no deeper meaning

that said even if people know what otherkin is they’re still like. not getting it sometimes, no we don’t feel deeply connected to a being we just are that being, we have a word for being connected with it but not identifying as it actually, like, we are a nonhuman being, straight up

idk where i’m going with this but it just bothers me there’ll be a post that’s like “man i’m literally a dog that’s what identify as that’s what i mentally see myself as” and the reblog will be “woahh dogboy moment” or “what a great metaphor for human struggles!!” and all
