I consider myself a red fox and a dragon with strong feline traits

My teeth transforming into fangs is annoying when my mouth barely changes with them so I just end up having a mouth that doesn't function properly

as therian who lives with reality variance i think we’d get along better intracommunally if we viewed different responses to reality variance / unreality / delusion /etc in the neutral way we view other neurodivergent needs that incidentally conflict

like for example, some NDs need to stim by making loud noises— but other NDs might be triggered by the volume, and prefer to decompress in a quiet space. NDs who need to stim loud aren’t intentionally trying to set off NDs who need the quiet—and NDs who need the quiet aren’t intentionally trying to suppress NDs who need to stim loud.

neither are “wrong” for having conflicting needs. both are still equally ND and deserving of shared community, but it’s also not wrong if one person needs to leave the room a moment so both people can have the stims they need.

i don’t have anything against alterhumans who need consensus reality bc they need consensus reality in the same way i need reality variance. what i DO have a problem with is when alterhumans who need consensus reality force that ideal onto everyone else, and demand alterhumans who need reality variance be silenced and driven out of community just for expressing different needs and experiences.

some of those needs are genuinely the need to not be “reality checked” ! bc unless you’re a trusted confidant (and, being a stranger on the internet, you are not) a reality check won’t do anything to change that person’s mind. and this is true for trying to change anyone’s beliefs, inside or outside the community, whether they’re clinically (self-)labeled or not

Does anyone else’s voice etc change or become difficult to speak or think in human ways when you partially transform etc?

My voice changes weirdly enough and it’s like something inside of my throat/nose also moves int a different position it seems

I really want my ears shaped to be pointy, split my tongue and get sharper teeth, I've wanted those body mods since the moment I found out about them so I know I wouldn't regret it but I do fear the reactions of others

Mountain hares are looking really delicious right now...

Imagining sinking my fangs into one, piercing through its fur and skin, feeling the taste of its blood in my mouth before I rip the meat off of its bones

I should probably go eat something-

i know that it's sort of a meme in the otherkin/therian community to go "oh aha these humans don't know that a (theriotype) is walking among them! i'm so sneaky >:3" but like... sometimes it really sinks in. they look at me and just see a human. the thought of making me do human things doesn't seem wrong to them. they actually think i'm one of them. they actually fell for the lie i don't even put effort into- in fact, they're the ones pushing it onto me. they really think i'm human. that's so weird to me.

“biological therian” was supposed to be the word we get to have to mean we’re literally, physically, genetically our theriotypes! it was supposed to be the one term we get to keep, after “physical therian” evolved to mean basically any nonhuman for any reason!

what do you MEAN you’re “biologically a therian but know your body is actually completely scientifically physically human”!!! do you know what biologically means!!!!!!

it is so unbelievably frustrating having our terms taken from us and watered down over and over and over again. can literal physical nonhumans not have anything to ourselves? all of our terms must be taken from us and morphed into something else? and what’s worse, so often those ‘physical nonhumans’ taking those terms will then turn around to us and go “wait, you think you’re ACTUALLY physically nonhuman?? that’s delusional!”

AAAAAARFHGHHHH

I kinda want to start fishing, store bought fish is too expensive + It might give species euphoria to go outside to hunt food for myself and my family. I admit I am a bit squeamish and soft when it comes to killing, but if I got into the right mindset(mental shift) I might be able to? I'll have to see, I think I'll join a family member on fishing trips when they visit

[alopecanthrope]

Being multiple species has its struggles: As a fox I want to be full of fur, but as a dragon I do not want fur/only want it in a few places, so I have no idea if I should shave or not

I should have claws and a prehensile tail to climb trees easier.. I keep staring at trees and imagining how I'd climb them if I just had all the dragon features I'm supposed to have. Maybe prehensile tail prosthetics will be made sometime in the future, I can't imagine it'll happen anytime soon but a dragon can hope.

i dont rly need to make this post bc like. its tumblr. the number of people who are cool with physical therians is exponentially higher than on instagram or clock app. however, i will anyway. sniles at you so sneetly.

footnotes that i left on my post on instagram:

i recommend reading about dignity of risk in detail as i didn't have the space to really get into it here. its a really interesting topic and if you're disabled, can help you give you the language to advocate for yourself

i use therian and alterhuman community interchangeably here

I.D. in alt text! i love u mwah!!

Being plural is fine until a facet who's barely able to talk fronts right when we're going out in public 🥲

Exploring your therian side through kink is valid.

I am so absolutely sick of seeing extremely sex negative discourse within the therian community.

Just gonna say this all outloud for my own sanity:

It's okay to be a therian who is into primal play.

It's okay to be a therian who is in to pet play.

Packers and dildos based on non-human genitalia is affirming gear.

Anal plug tails are affirming gear.

Pup hoods are affirming gear.

Collars, leashes, harnesses, and other restraints are affirming gear.

I don't care how sex adverse an individual is. Your preferences do not get to supercede the completely harmless things that others can do.

The most accurate way to describe my alterhumanity relating to cats is "cathearted bordering on catkin" I think, I'm just somewhere between hearted and kin

Going to the city feels so weird to me

I've been working on my social anxiety recently by taking the bus to the city. It has helped, but even if I'm not as anxious anymore I still feel very out of place. Everyone around me are humans(or mostly humans, I guess I wouldn't know if someone wasn't) and here I am, a fox pretending to be the same as them and not doing the best job at pretending. I'll get there with practice maybe but right now I feel like a shapeshifter who's just taken on the form of a human with little prior knowledge on how to act the part so I'm just kinda existing awkwardly
