I love those posts where someone's theriotype is used as motivation for self care.

Wolves need good teeth to hunt to keep them brushed and healthy. Birds need fruits and vegetables so make sure to eat some. Reptile skin naturally has bumps or imperfections so don't pick at it. Many animals are social creatures that live in groups so make sure to spend time with friends and family regularly.

Animals need good care and enrichment, so make sure to give yourself that.

Attention all celestial beings, deities, demons, and other ethereal entities inhabiting mortal meat suits:

We know it’s a bit of a drag dealing with these squishy, high-maintenance vessels. Eating? Sleeping? Showering? Yes, it’s all very mortal and inconvenient. But hey, this is your ride, and no one likes a broken-down car. Show some respect to your vessel, it’s literally carrying you around the mortal plane.

Here’s your “Vessel Maintenance Checklist”:

Fuel it properly! Eat some actual food, yes pizza rolls count but throw in a vegetable or two occasionally.

Hydrate. Your body right now is mostly made up of water. You need to replenish your reserves once in a while.

Sleep! At least 6-9 hours. Powering through is not a long-term solution, my friend.

Showering and grooming. A clean vessel is a happy vessel. Your mortal friends will thank you.

Stretch and move. A little walk won’t kill you!

Remember: Treat your vessel with kindness, or it can start feeling bad. You’ve been warned.

[heraldpdf]

This body may not be you, but it is yours. Even if temporarily. So take good care of it.

I love being human, but now I feel like instead of identifying as a human, I see my human life as a humansona, the same way humans have fursonas. I enjoy being my humansona daily but it dosent mean I'm a human.

"and the universe said i love you."

This is it. The singular most uplifting video I’ve ever seen in my entire life. When Sam said there’s good in the world worth fighting for he meant this.

How good is this?!

[cipheramnesia]

If I was a wasp, I'd sting you. If I was a venomous snake, I'd bite you. If I was a lion, I'd maul you. If I was a swamp, I'd poison you. If I was a mountain, I'd fall and crush you. If I was the ocean, I'd drown you. If I was a cat, I'd never let you touch me. If I was a dog, I'd run away. If I was a horse, I'd never let you break me. If I was a farm, I wouldn't grow for you. If I was a fire, I'd burn out without warming you. If I was a home, I would fall apart around you.

If I was harmless and small, and easy to hold, you would love me. If I was a worm you could put me in the soft earth and I would be helpless in your care. Of course you could love me, but could you love me if I stung you, bit you, pulled against you, hid and didn't understand you but wasn't harmless or helpless at all?

Could you love something for what it is, when that means you can't touch it or show kindness, maybe even never be near it, and it might never, ever love you back? Is it okay to exist and not belong to anyone, to not be useful to anyone, to be dangerous or poisonous or a failure but a part of the world all the same?

[gallusrostromegalus]

I know this is a metaphor, but if you take it kind of literally, there is an answer to this.

We build wildlife preserves. Often explicitly for the protection of animals and ecosystems that can and have killed humans.

Whenever a whale gets stranded on a beach, CROWDS show up ad risk getting bludgeoned to death trying to get it back into the water.

Every Zoo has a reptile house full of venomous snakes and a team of humans dedicated to giving them the best quality of life possible.

There are volunteer beekeepers who will travel for miles and miles and hours and hours to relocate an entire hive.

There are people who rehabilitate dangerous dogs and horses

There are people who restore structurally unsound houses

There are people who study the way that fire burns so it can rejoin the ecosystem and not be smothered on sight.

Every day, millions of people get up and devote themselves to things that can and will kill them by their nature. Things they can't touch or show kindness to. Things they can't go near. Things that are wholly incapable of loving them back.

And they do it because they love them.

Everything dangerous, everything poisonous, everything 'useless'- absolutely everything has someone, often many thousands of people, who loves them exactly as they are, without expectation that their affection will be returned.

It is alright for anything, even you, to not belong to anyone, to not be useful, to be frightening and dangerous and not adhere to any standard of success. It's all alright. You are loved. You are loved. You are loved.

Much of the North American environment was under 10 meters of ice last time there were no humans there. Just for context about how absolutely a part of the ecosystem humans are.

[voroxpete]

This is actually super important. We need to get away from this mentality that because humans do bad things, humans are therefore fundamentally bad.

How are we ever going to make this world a better place if we are not able to start from the place of believing that we, as people, are capable of good?

If your utopia doesn’t start from a place of believing in the good we can do in this world, it’s not a utopia, it’s just sparkling misanthropy. All you’re doing is protecting yourself from harm by pre-emptively believing that all of humanity is vile and evil and corrupt, so that you can never be disappointed. You’re not wise, you’re just living in your trauma response.

[aetherograph]

I mean it’s also very much a religious belief that humans are default bad, are born bad, and will never be anything but bad. That’s a religious belief of Christianity and maybe some other religions. Saying “humans are the virus” is just changing the wording of Original Sin to have science words in it so it feels more legitimate and universal, but it’s not.

Humans are animals. We are no better nor worse than any other animal. We are not more special or different than any other animal. We have traits other animals have. We aren’t even the only species that is People. We have a unique combination of traits that aren’t so rare, and honestly the unique things we can do are not “think” or “talk” or “make art”, the unique things we can do are small like “throw accurately” and maybe “think in narrative”, but that latter one is hard to see in other animals so it’s hard to prove only we have it.

Earth runs on love. We are part of that. This is our HOME. This is our home, we live here. This isn’t a grocery store, this isn’t a trash can, this is our HOUSE. This is the only one we’ve got, there is not an Earth 2. There’s some frat boy jerks trashing our house and we gotta fight to make them stop and make it so they can’t ever start again. And to be clear, lots and lots of people are doing that right now, and have been doing that for decades, and intend to keep doing that, and things are getting done to stop those people and fix the harm.

You don’t get to just not take care of your home because you believe that’s your nature. Not any such thing, that’s a choice you’re making and you’re being selfish and shirking your responsibility as a human animal.

[this-is-aplphobia]

i hate when i see a supportive post for aplatonic people but then it says stuff like "love isnt what makes you human, you arent any less human" or something like that :(

im an aplatonic seagull kin. i am not a human. im not suddenly "invalid" or a "degenerate" just because i dont identify as a human. stop using "human" as morally good. humans arent superior to other creatures. i dont deserve to be invalidated just because im a seagull. why cant people ever support a certain group without completely dismissing another

this is aplphobia and alterhumisia

[a-dragons-journal]

To be honest, as a nonhuman, I don't think it is discriminatory against nonhumans in any way - and I say this with love and not judgement, but I think you are misreading what this phrase means a little and that reframing it might make it feel less alienating to you, anon.

Because the way I see it, "You aren't any less human for being aplatonic" does not necessarily mean "you are human," or even "not being human is inherently bad". It's not a statement about nonhumanity being inherently bad, it's a statement about being refused humanity being inherently wrong. "Love isn't what makes you human, you aren't any less human" is a direct response to people being told they can't be human if they're aplatonic/loveless - which is a very real problem that needs this response! You have to remember that for humans, being refused the right to be recognized as human is just as dysphoric as being refused acknowledgement as your species is for you.

Basically, these people are not saying that you're invalid or degenerate or whatever for being nonhuman - they're saying that people who claim aplatonic people are inherently inhuman/subhuman are wrong for claiming that, and affirming that aplatonic people have the right to be recognized as human if they want it. It's less "you must be human" and more "you have the right to be human," y'know? If you aren't human, then you don't need to hear that message, which in combination with how often we are treated poorly for being nonhuman can make it feel like it's an attack on us - but it really, truly is not.

But that's just my two cents' worth; hopefully it's worthwhile food for thought and can help it feel less alienating.

[nyctrilite]

blot <3 ok im so tired gn ill upload the circus trio all together tmrw

[toasty-roll]

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

[clawessout272]

Ta-da!! Look what I made!!

It's the therian flag but I replaced the colors with fabrics. I saw people doing this on Pinterest with other flags and decided to give it a shot
