Species Affirming Things for non-domestic canines
Clothing: Wear clothes that match your kintypes fur color. Don't have any? Thrift stores are your friend! They have cheap clothing and you can sometimes find some really cool stuff, don't limit yourself to either gender btw look in both sections.
Vocals can be fun, but I don't like vocals so my alternative is just listening to my kintypes' noises like howling an such. if you like vocals great! Look up videos of your wild kintype and try mimicing their vocals if you're comfortable.
Gear. No, i'm not talking collars here despite myself liking them. I'm talking tail and ears, Etsy is full of nice ones just look carefully at the pictures/descriptions because you will run into the tail butt plugs. Also making yarn tails is good and theres tutorials online, same goes for ears and it dosnt take much fabric. Other gear can be claw rings (rings that literally give you claws), tooth necklaces, fangs (can be found at ur local halloween store like Spirit, wait till AFTER halloween thats when the sale is ;3), makeup, really any kintype-like clothes that aren't just shirt and pants
This may just be something I like but I love collecting figurines of my kintypes, I have soo many wolf figurines its unreal but they are super cool and make me feel like I have a pack.
IRL 'kin friends, make a pack! If you can't do that I highly encourage making an online one!
Quadrobis if you can do them, if you can't running around outside on two legs is just as fun!
If you aren't vegetarian eat some sushi, sushi is I think the safest raw meat you can eat and nigiri sushi is just fish on rice. If you arent a fish fan, try salmon, it's a very mild fish and dosn't taste too fishy
If you are a vegetarian, get some tofu and cut it into slightly too big of bites and marinate it in whatever you like. After it soaks up your chosen flavor chow down, maybe eat with your hands if you feel like it. (hopefully this is a good suggestion, i'm not a vegetarian-)
Forage! Go outside, maybe to a hiking trail, and look around for edible fruits and veggies and mushrooms and bring them home to cook with some meat (non-meat for vegetarians/vegans ofc)
Celebrate Wolfnoot! It's on November 23 and is a celebration of canines of all kind. I'm a pagan witch and will be writing a ritual thing for it and I will post it here once I am done (I will link it here when it is finished)
Have your friends (irl or online, whichever you're more comfy with) refer to you as your kintype
If you like to use neopronouns use kintype themed ones
Like steak? Me too, if you have the money dry age steak is amazing rare. Most steak is, but dry age steak is very good and idk for me eating rare steak just gives me species euphoria lol
Make a den, yes the cliche ik, but this den can be anything hell it could even be outside if you want. I made mine under my loft bed, it has lights and fake vines in it and is also were I keep my tails. I also have a wolf blanket and a bean bag along with a curtain so I can make it dark.
That's all I can think of, feel free to reblog with things you come up with! The only wild canine kintype of mine is a wolf, so this post may be a bit bias but I encourage add ons to this.
