Swallowed waist-deep in the gore of the forest @borealis-lupo - Tumblr Blog

Made a sideblog so I can be more open with posting nonhuman things.

About me? Well, I'm an artist, and art is the main way I deal with being in a human body. Most of what I draw is mine or my husband's nonhuman forms. I am friendly and open to good spirited questions and conversation!

Here is my main form's ref:

Did anyone else ever use Wolf's Rain as a way to help explain to others your identity?

When I was younger, Wolf's Rain was life changing to me. Not only for the story, art, and impact; but because it showed me exactly how I felt. A wolf in the illusion of a humanoid to blend in and survive. And that still sticks with me, I think it still explains things to a degree.

Wolf's Rain will always have a special place in my heart. ‹𝟹

Does anyone else have examples of media that changed their world?

Same as you. It also made the idea of transmigration of the soul ("reincarnation") acceptable in my mind, if not introduced the idea.

Somehow, being in spaces that are explicitly for trans people is really emotionally draining.

I'm genderqueer, basically in the sense that I don't strongly identify with gender enough for it to impact me, but I also don't like being called a "woman". I've narrowed down that I instead prefer to be referred to as a "female", but I don't really care what pronouns people use for me.

So I do fall under the "not totally cis" bracket, but this is intrinsically linked to my nonhumanity. I don't want a woman's chest anatomy, because ew gross, I'm not ever planning to reproduce, and tits are only ever apparent when mammals have recently had young. Gross.

In trans-specific places, the only way I can explain my gender differences is by also explaining my nonhumanity. If I do that, more likely than not, I'll either be laughed at, disregarded, or worse, told I'm actively being malicious towards the community because being trans is real, but "pretending to be an animal" is not, and "discredits the community".

And I'm sensitive to that. I totally get why, in our current society, it's not safe to conflate being a therian or nonhuman with being trans. I wish we could all live authentically, but in a world where being an animal essentially puts you on the same tier as "object", saying that we're "the same" as trans humans puts them in that category as well. This creates real danger for them, as the cards are already stacked against them. I'm not willing to endanger any one of my human trans friends by asserting the fact that I'm not cis because I'm not human.

It's not fair, and it shouldn't be like this. Everyone should be able to be celebrated for who they are. This creates a situation where every time I've ever wanted to "come out" as genderqueer in a safe place for trans humans, I stop short.

It's very isolating. The only place I can talk about this shit is places like this, and with a select few online friends. I could find a trans human space tomorrow if I wanted, but there's no nonhuman groups around my area: at least, not open ones that I could find.

I'm just yapping at the void. Maybe someone else out there feels like this too.

It baffles me that many therians just... don't put in the legwork to research their type? Haven't even looked at the Wikipedia page for it? They just go off vibes... and assume from there that means they intrinsically know everything there is to know about that type.

My friend, have you considered that the lapses in your identity and the doubt you have surrounding your type is caused by you jumping to a label and deciding to examine it later? It's tempting to jump the gun and get all the questioning over with, but research is essential to further understanding yourself and your kin.

There's no shame in questioning a type. There's no shame in reconsidering a type and deciding to drop that label because it doesn't fit you. You aren't missing out on anything by avoiding labels until you're sure you identify with them. Its not doing you any favors to just go off vibes only to have it bite you later when you're trying to figure out why your identity doesn't feel yours.

#Very much this #Anytime you feel like 'but [theriotype] doesn't do this/isn't like this'#Ask yourself if that's something you're not understanding about that being's biology #Usually you learn more about yourself in the process too

Thinking about pronouns that never seem to fit nicely, it struck me yesterday that I'm far happier being referred to simply as "a female" rather than "a woman".

That being said, I don't care that people call me "a male" (used to happen more when I was a kid), but not "a boy/man".

This feels fucking ridiculous. I can't believe that didn't click sooner 😩

#I think it's a thing about English #People usually refer to animals as either male or female #Not men or women #nonhuman #therian

"Are you a man or a woman?"

I'd have to be human first

#Nonhuman #Therian

Itchy skin

Paws aren't there

Spring's new warmth is in the air

Rapid pulse

Sleeping poorly

No long tail to wrap securely

Skin is bare

No fur, no claws

No sharp teeth within my jaws

Living life

With chest exposed

Walking upright, wearing clothes

Running slow

On flattened feet

Moving to a foreign beat

Gazing up

Into the sky

Wishing dearly I could fly

Traffic light

I stop the car

Why are we the way we are?

Memory

Of times gone past

Wild spaces, green and vast

Living now

In a shape that's wrong

But even still, I'll carry on.

Been too inactive on Tumblr lately. Need to post again. While big bad wolves, or wolf villains and antagonists can be cool, we could always use more good wolves, wolf heroes and wolf protagonists.

The wolf characters in the picture, from top to bottom:

•Legoshi (Beastars)

•Mutt (Lobodestroyo)

•Shirou Ogami (BNA/Brand New Animal)

•Mr. Wolf (The Bad Guys)

•Grey (Sheep and Wolves)

•Humphrey & Kate (Alpha & Omega)

•Kiba (Wolf's Rain)

•Trickshot (Trick Moon)

•Wiley Wolf (The Great Wolf Pack)

•Amaterasu (Ōkami)

•Robyn & Mebh (Wolfwalkers)
