Found my colors?
I was fine with the blue but it somehow felt too light. So I sat down and worked on it again. This is it so far! Walking closer to answers.

normalize therians who don't care for quadrobics
its not and never has been something you need in order to truly identify as a therian
it makes me so annoyed that people only think of therians as walking on all fours
if you do quads cool!! but its not inherently a therian thing
plus plenty of non therians do quads
I updated my colors. I was not paying attention to signs or the like, i was just going with the flow this time. i like how it turned out. And these colors feel so real. <3
My experiences led me to following stance:
I think I am a drake, a semi-aquatic, non-magical, possibly non-venomous drake with fur and whiskers. I have yet to see if I am right but til then you'll see me walking around as such. It feels so good on me, so fitting, so me. Let's hope for the best.
Am I just a discourse blog now? Lmfao whatever we ball 💁🏽
Remember, no harassing anyone, because this is just for educational purposes only!! I just woke up too so this might be all over the place, but bear with me...
By that logic, you think otherkin identities are boiled down to wearing gear and quadrobics. You should also hate furries/kemonomimis. They're not roleplaying being otherkin, they're roleplaying being theriform animals and fictional characters. The only time they mention us is to say they're not us, simply having fun instead of a serious identity.
They aren't making us look like roleplay because we're two different communities. If we get mixed up, there's room for correction.
In this case, it's only mocking if they intend it to be that way. Otherwise, they're just having fun and aren't harmful to us at all.
"You're either a human, nonhuman, or not." What does that even mean?? You can be both and neither. Are you policing fellow alterhumans' identities?
People don't take us seriously either way. Before otherpaws, therians were mockingly called furries. But you aren't mad at furries, are you? You're hating the wrong people. Hate the ones that aren't taking us seriously, not the ones having fun in their own separate community.
Anypaws are like gender-nonconformity, but species-wise. I think it's actually pretty punk. Stop acting like otherkind is above anypaws. We all don't conform so we're all looked down upon.

Hm, I don't get the hate towards otherpaws. They'r roleplaying, so what? Let them do their thing, as long as they don't do harm directly to yourself or your friends or anyone, what's the matter with it?
This is a screenshot of the spiritual meaning of the giant panda. This suits my current state. So the panda might be right in a metaphorical way, like "Currently, you have the panda's energy", but not in the sense of being one.
One step closer to an answer.
*pondering*
I am currently questioning the three creatures giant panda, kaprosuchus and drake. Here's why:
PANDA
I have had a dream where I met someone who I believe could've been my spiritual guide. They said I'm a panda. That's it. That's why I am questioning panda.
DRAKE
I always come back to drake. I feel horns, I feel a tail, I feel like I could've fur but I don't feel like I have hooves or something. I rather feel like a four legged reptile thing with horns and possibly fur. I feel my ears twitch at sudden sounds.
KAPROSUCHUS
I remember being on land but also underwater. I have horns which could be the kaprosuchus horns. I feel like I have huge teeth. The tail feels kinda heavy. I have three "main fingers". I feel especially drawn to prehistoric times, but maybe that's just me as a drake in a human free, nature heavy environment? Idk.
I've also always felt drawn to crocodilians.
So that's why I question these three creatures. I don't know which one of these I am. I know, polykin and shapeshifters are a thing but that's not me. The experiences stay the same, I just have to pinpoint them.
Why do humans keep fighting about who got it worse? Shouldn't it be built upon compassion? "I am not doing well" - "I am sorry to hear. Can I help you somehow?" - Like that, you know?
But I witness a huge influx of "I got it worse than you". For what? Do you want to feel miserable? Do you want the compassion but are not able to show some yourself? Like, it's a genuine question. That's something I don't understand.
And not only humans do it, I even see it in the community. And that's sad. Dogs won't ask who got it worse, they'll try to comfort you. To some these are harsh words, but I needed to get this off my chest.
Does anybody understad this behaviour and can explain it to me? Are there some studies on that? Please link them below, if there are.
And after all: Stay hydrated and well rested. Wishing you a nice day!
seeing anti-otherpaw shit and it feels like pointless internet discourse,, but it bothered us. The beings we've seen advocating against otherpaws claim that they're copying therianthropy.
The anti-otherpaw movement is trying to claim that by wearing masks or doing quads they're copying therianthropy. That's not what therianthropy is at all. And we fear by making that claim it'll only perpetuate the belief that therianthropy = wearing a mask and doing quads.
Exactly. Therianthropy is an identity that goes far beyond masks and quadrobics. They're just possible ways to express your identity, but so is taking a bath or going on a walk. Wanna claim these as therianthropy only behaviours? I highly doubt that.
Please stop "stealing" words and things and making them your own. Words and materials - such as in this case - are there for everyone.
Time tells
Time tells you things that you never thought about. Such as your looks. I am a black and white panda, not a Quinling panda. It just feels more right on me. I always choose black and white on my animal game characters, too, which I like to see as a sign.
So, no brown, even though my mom sees me as a brown panda. I am a simple black and white panda, mom. I'm sorry. But I am still your panda! So there's that.
I want to spread the message with that post. Please for your own good, don't rush through your alterhuman journey. It takes time, patience, dedication... remain calm, if you make mistakes and keep going. You'll find yourself one day!
@five-red-feathers drew me this fantastic piece! It's just perfect. <3
just wanted to say that the Alterhuman community on tumblr is honestly the best place for our kind. It’s (mostly) very welcoming, and especially for physical /biological/holotheres/zoanthropes it’s incredibly helpful for beings like me who struggle with feeling alone in our existence , and sharing experiences on here, it actually feels like beings hear you.
thank you to the beings on Tumblr that make my day so much better
"Physical therianthropy doesn't make sense."
A reminder: Identity doesn't have to make sense at all. Identity just is. And if it's not holding up with your ideas of identity, that's fine. As long as it doesn't harm you, why making a fuss? Keep calm and move on.
Sincere question: Can you define physical therianthropy? That term is new to me. I've seen it around on Tumblr a couple times lately, but haven't gotten a clear definition yet.
Yes, of course!
Physical therianthropy is different for everyone. For the ones it can mean "I think, therefore I am." For others it's based on delusions. Or they believe they're animal XYZ, so even if the body is not perceived as such, they see their body as animal XYZ.
Those are just a few examples of what physical therianthropy could look like. I hope this helps!
