🌿⭐️intro post⭐️🌿
Howdy!! You can call me Yoshiki or Blue!
This is my main blog where I share my experiences as a physical therianthrope; the good, the bad, and the- wait the ugly is confined to my side blog for my fictionfolk experiences @coldest-forest. I do experience mild hallucinations, so if unreality (even recognized unreality) is triggering for you, I'd steer clear of my page
☀️Anyways, here's some fun info about me! ->
BPD rage sure is something else. Pairs terribly with being a werewolf.
over the nearly two years I've been awakened Ive slowly softlaunched my therianthropy to my mother but i think it's the suicide attempt that got her to try to understand it a little more
I have some cool fictionkin-related art coming soon to my channel :-)
I feel like a lot of the fictionkin content on YouTube, or really any visual form of social media, can be quite shallow or repetitive (if you can find much at all). I think I'll have my next "Life of a _" series be about my fictionkin identity since it's really important to me and has what I think to be a strange origin.
Also there's not a whole lot of talk about other fictionfolk experiences like fictionflickers, so I'll definitely talk about that too since I happen to be both fictionkin and fictionflicker!
anyways I love you fictionfolk
donkeycorn mask for my best friend!!! I had way too much fun making this one haha
Tell me something about forest ecology
mycelium, which is essentially the root system of fungi, connects trees to one another and allows them to share resources! some trees will feed broken stumps to keep them alive until they make new leaves :-)
(thanks for the ask btw im such a fucking nerd)
plans for some gear, the paws mainly being quadrobics related
not making the paws like how I've seen other being since I don't curl in my fingers
I've seen the word vivterms a couple of times recently (mostly in yours and others' bios) but I haven't been able to find it on the alter/nonhuman dictionaries/wikis I usually go to, can I ask what it means?
vivterms is an alternate term for bioterms! both mean the same thing: they are basically just descriptors used to describe your altertype that you would like others to use in lieu of human descriptors.
an easy example is that I prefer others to refer to my "hair" as fur! the reason there's a whole term is because someone can just say "I use canine vivterms" instead of having to list what descriptors they want used for them.
the reason some beings use the word "vivterms" instead of "bioterms" is that bioterms was coined by a being who is anti-physical therian.
idk some people just feel threatened by anyone being unapologetically themselves even when they aren’t hurting anyone because it brings up the possibility that the rules are made up and the points don’t matter and that’s an uncomfortable thought
so. holy shit.
usually when I am mentally shifted, I can still mold myself back into a human mindset, generally ignoring the change in instincts, behavior, and mental framework. sometimes it's hard to control, but overall im good.
I pretty much completely shifted today. I'm away from my fuckass area of my country and deep in my hearthome doing a lot of hiking... and the way I have been feeling has been crazy. I have had moments that I would describe as containing mental, sensory, phantom, and small physical shifts that I cannot control and force back into normal human behavior. My mother who im on this trip with is big on exercise and is aware of my "animal flow" hobby (a different but slightly more welcomed movement group to cover up the word "quadrobics"), so I've been able to do some light quads, but I couldn't have stopped myself today if I tried.
I also got to howl for the first time and I don't think I'll ever be the same. I visited a Wolfdog sanctuary, and at the end we all got to do a group howl with the residents, and my instincts were so strong that it felt like the howl was just crawling out of me. It built up in my chest until I finally let it out, and for never howling before, I sounded just like a coyote. Hearing my own more high-pitched, scratchy howl was a euphoria I'll probably never be able to replicate.
Anyways, im not "out of control" during these shifts, but more so that my shifts were uncontrollable. I'm still me of course, and I control my actions, but during these shifts you could not make me act human more than you could make a dog act human.
hi, i love otherpaws here. otherpaws are always welcome.
in light of the recent influx of otherpaw hate, i have some Things To Say.
truly, there is no real difference between otherpaws and furries, except the materials they use to roleplay as animals. we should not be gatekeeping materials, guys. you cannot seriously call yourself furry-friendly if you are anti-otherpaw. but that is not my main reason for disliking the anti-otherpaw stance.
i find a laaaaarge issue i have with these “but otherpaws are copying therians!!!!” folks is that the term otherpaw was created specifically to distance otherpaws from alterhumanity; to create a clear distinction that masks and quadrobics ≠ alterhuman (therian included). which is a factually correct distinction. and folks whining about copying are (maybe unintentionally, maybe not) obscuring that distinction.
no, someone wearing a mask or doing quads is not inherently copying or mocking therians, because masks and quads aren’t exclusive to therians, and they never have been. wearing a mask does not a therian make. wearing a mask does not necessarily have anything to do with therians. claiming that anyone who wears masks or does quads is copying therians is trying to claim exclusive rights of therians over masks and quads. it’s gatekeeping, yes, but worse than gatekeeping, it’s trying to cement masks and quads as inherently ‘therian’. which they aren’t. which we have tried all this time to teach folks that no, not all therians wear masks/do quads, and just because someone does those things doesn’t make them alterhuman.
but now these anti-otherpaw folks are regressing again to “mask = therian, therefore they must be copying and mocking therians”. which is factually inaccurate and damaging to what being alterhuman and being therian truly means. it’s what leads to the misinformation about the true depth of alterhuman identity on places like tiktok. and i’m so sick of it.
i know it’s not a widespread issue (yet). but given that i’ve seen a handful of posts and comments about it, this is why i hope it doesn’t become one.
(i have also alwayyyyyys found the argument “but x is too similar to y!” to be a terrible argument against x. cause like…. who cares. things are allowed to be similar. humans and nonhumans alike are so incredibly numerous that you will almost never have a completely unique experience which no one else has ever had. our experiences overlap significantly because there are so many beings in this world. there is no fault in someone having a similar experience to you. you will not die just because you aren’t in fact that worlds most special snowflake. i prommy.)
urgh it's been so good to be inching out of this depressive episode because my shifts are coming backkkkkkkk
ive been feeling so coydog, and last night I had a phantom shift of my snout and my paws. It was fun with my paws, because a lot of times phantom shifts around my real body get broken when I move those parts (opposed to supernumerary phantom limbs like my tail), but last night when I moved my paws around they still felt like my real paws! Pretty hype
I've been out doing quadrobics too (yadayada stereotype yadayada) which has been so euphoric as I am more motivated to go out and hike even if my body pains have worsened
I am mainly a lurker in the community that doesn’t interact much, but I think we need more people talking about this. Currently in the merriam webster dictionary, the example sentences for the word therian are absolutely atrocious. In it they describe therians as mentally ill people who run around on all fours with masks and “…socks in the shape of hairy paws with claws…” while biting people. I have already reported this error, but I think it is going to take more than one person to get this fixed. Is anyone else aware of this?
I was not aware of this, actually, and I do think it's a problem now that I am aware! Dictionaries, of course, are what people go to to look up words, so it's imperative to the community that the definition actually be accurate.
just finished filming my video on making quadrobics accessible to those with physical disabilities!! im excited for this one cause I don't see this talked about or explored a lot by quadrobists online
by the way, it's pretty broad in the methods used! the ways I came up with vary in assistance, for those who only need a bit of extra support to those who experience disability to an extreme. these methods should help those with muscle/joint issues, general chronic pain/fatigue, metabolic/hormone issues, limb differences, and the Blind and Deaf spectrums. i consulted my friend with a bone deformity to help me formulate some of these ideas, used my own knowledge of kinesiology from my parents who are both doctors, and of course researched my own info!
some of the methods will be demonstrated to the best of my abilities, and some will be illustrated. lots of resources will be linked too!

Im curious, what was y'all's awakening moment? Like what was the catalyst? (If there was one ofc)
For me it was during a youtube art trend where folks were drawing themselves as what mythical creature they would be if they were one and i watched one of the videos and thought "haha i wonder what i would be if i was-- im a fucking selkie."
Embarrassingly enough, it was animal jam
I had gotten back into it for old time's sake, and saw a pack titled "therians" or something along that line. I had no idea what that was at the time, so I looked it up, and immediately shut that idea down as I was already dealing with a lot of internalized transphobia and didn't want anything else to deal with.
However, knowing (to an extent) that therianthropy existed planted the seeds in my mind. I knew this was me, which is why I shied away from further introspection. I didn't want to be a therianthrope.
Half a year later, I met a friend who introduced me to mask making, and a couple months later I asked them about therianthropy. He confided in me that he was a dragon, and... poof! Catalyst for serious thinking time.
It's funny how this post comes onto my dash in the month that I first awakened truly two years ago :-)
Obligatory disclaimer that this isn't in direct response to any recent discussion (and as it stands, I've been OOTL anyway), but this seems to be an evergreen issue:
You do not have to identify with any label you don't want to. Just because you "can" use a label doesn't mean you have to.
But if you're going to explain why you don't use a label, and it involves making sweeping generalizations about what a group does/doesn't or can/can't experience, that group is well within their rights to push back and tell you you're wrong.
Identity labels are coined at different times under different contexts to describe experiences that are rarely exclusive from those described by other labels. If you try to limit which experiences can fall under which labels, 99 times outta 100 you're just plain wrong.
That doesn't mean you have to start using the label. But you do have to stop spreading misinformation about the individuals who use the label.
That's not an unreasonable thing to expect, right?
