previous username: sugarcanesummer

hello! please call me aspen, or 1906F, + welcome.

i am not new to tumblr, however this is a new account circa april 2026. this post will be dated back in time to indicate the year i initially awakened.

feel free to send a message, asks and dms are always open, i won’t bite 𐂯

below is more about me : 

my id is 1906F, feel free to refer to me as either this, or aspen. i go by it/its/she/her, in order of preference. i am an adult, and was born in 2006. i grew up in rural canada, though i now live in the US, where i am a college student. i am studying biology and am a dance major. because of where i grew up, i am fluent in french. feel free to contact me in french or english! if you are referring to my body, i ask you to please use canine vivterms. i have a mate and am in a longterm relationship. therefore, please do not flirt, or make any romantic/sexual advances.

 i am a northwestern wolf, or canis lupus occidentalis. i am a female wolf, weighing roughly 40kgs and about 5'6 in total size. my coat pattern is primarily grey, with a cream/tan underbelly and darker, grey-blacks on the guard hairs, face and upper back. scents include: vanilla, old wood (a bit mildewy), damp fur, incense. i am highly reactive and territorial, although this is much less present and visible in my online space.

My body, mind, thoughts and emotions are all that of a wolf, fully and entirely. Call this whatever you’d like, I’m not big on labels. All I know is I am a wolf, making me fall somewhere under the alterhuman umbrella. If you're super into labels, i consider myself a holothere and physical therian. The baseline is that I am a wolf, as is everything about me. Please do not refer to me as anything otherwise.

i awakened in late 2019, during my early teens. while in lockdown, i spent a great deal of time with myself, figuring out my identity. though i initially thought of myself as something different, in fall of 2021 i realized i was a wolf, specifically a grey wolf. during late high school, i dropped the word therian and cut off that part of myself from who i was entirely. my senior year however, i reconnected with myself after multiple years of struggling.

 i experience severe species dysphoria which has overall affected my mental state for years, along with strong prey drive and very strong predatory instincts. as previously stated, i am highly reactive and extremely territorial.

i’m happy to answer any questions about my experiences with alterhumanity.

i block freely and frequently. i have only one dni: if you are coming from shedblr, do not interact with my blog. i wish you the best, but i do not want to see that content. again, i do not want ed accounts anywhere near my blog.

⚠︎ anything possibly triggering will have a 'read more' option, and will be titled with appropriate tw's/cw's

⚠︎ as stated previously, i am a predatory animal, with strong predatory instincts. if you are an animal of prey, tread lightly. animals of prey are always welcome here, but know that i do post about meat, meat consumption, prey drive, hunting etc.

⚠︎ in the event i post any adult content (which I most likely won't, although i am an adult), it will also be labelled with appropriate tags such as 18+ or nsfw

⚠︎ i am anti ai, and against trump, ice, and the large majority of more right-wing views. i am pro-choice.

⚠︎ i am actively in recovery for anorexia. while i highly doubt i will post or even allude to this, there could be a situation where i talk about eds at some point, please take care and caution if this content triggers you.

⚠︎ if you are under the age of 16 and dm me, i will not respond. depending on the circumstance, i may block you. this is simply from a safety standpoint.

i’m a wolf of many interests, feel free to ask about them ⋆˚꩜

to all of my canines, I wish you all a safe fourth of july. it'll be loud and scary for some of us, though you will be okay. keep your canine brethren inside if you can, and if you can't, do check on them and make sure they have a space to shelter from the noise.

and to the canines who are celebrating with the loud fireworks - please be safe, pick up after yourselves, and be respectful of others.

What made/persuaded you to have a radiocollar name? I've been interested in having my own and would love to hear the opinions of those doing it.

hmmm, i suppose the idea of a radio collar resonates with me in a bit of an ironic way. by this i mean that i often feel as though i am constantly being monitored or troubled by humans. i think that this really just ties into the fact that i am always feeling dysphoric in that i am not in the right place, or that i am not acting how i should be as a wild wolf, constantly hindered by human interaction. in that way, it's very similar to being radio collared, seeing as radio collared animals are quite literally tracked and monitored by researchers.

on the other paw though, there is something very dehumanizing about being called a number. while historically this has led to horrific events and has been an excuse to treat people as less than others, as a wolf, i don't really want to be associated with anything human. if going by a number forces others to see me as something not-quite-human, then that's great by me.

to me, i feel like the name aspen has inherently human connotations, which is alright sometimes, but 1906F is inherently wolf, which i much prefer.

i hope this helped in some way, i also now have a longer post relating to radio collars of which you can read here.

if you do end up picking up an ID number, welcome to the pack!

Radio Collar IDs: What Are They, Meaning Behind Them, and How to Create Your Own

I have received several questions about what the ID in my name means and how to make your own, so I am compiling all information into one post instead of answering multiple asks with the same information. 

I would like to preface all information by stating that using radio collar IDs is not a trend, and should be treated with a level of respect. Yes, have fun and create your own if you'd like to, yes, you can be as serious as you wish to be with an ID, but know that many animals who use these IDs use them as names. Many use them as their only identifying factor and as what they prefer to be called, or even as a tool to help with dysphoria. Many of us who use radio tagged IDs do truly feel as though they are radio-tagged or fully wish that they were. Please treat IDs with respect.

Please note that all information in this post is subject to change.

Let me know if any information is incorrect/should be edited, as well as if you would like your post to be removed/added from this post!

What is the number/ID in your name?

The number or ID in my name, as well in many others, signifies that I am radio collared. The number is a radio collar ID. 

What is a radio collar? 

Radio collars are a collar that goes around an animal's neck or body to monitor activity or movement. They are used by scientists and researchers globally to help monitor and research animals. Radio collars were created in the late 20th century and were popularized due to the creation and evolution of GPS, making information from the collars much more accurate than previous technologies, like VHF, though VHF is still used. Now, with even better technologies, research opportunities are both more accessible and more accurate than ever. Radio collars help scientists to monitor an animal’s territory, population size, migration routes or change in habitat. Radio or tracking collars are particularly useful in the monitoring of critically endangered species. One of the most famous examples of radio collaring an endangered species is the story of reintroduction of wolves in Yellowstone, which you can read about here. 

Why does the radio collar have a specific ID?

The ID is for telling animals apart. When an animal is radio collared, they are given one, unique and specific ID number that will serve as their name or identifying factor until their death. Generally, ID numbers are not reused and are unique to the one animal. They are not reused to maintain clarity for researchers. There will be more about what the specific numbers/letters in the IDs signify below, see "How do I create my own radio collar ID".

Are radio collar IDs only for wolves? 

No, not at all. Many animals, though primarily large mammals, can be radio collared. Generally, animals are collared around their necks, although some are collared on different limbs, such as legs. Although one of the most famous examples of radio-collaring comes from wolves in Yellowstone National Park, animals such as lions, or even elk and deer are often collared by wildlife professionals. Any animal in which a radio collar would fit could theoretically be radio collared, and thus have a radio collar ID.

Are radio collar IDs only used for wild animals? 

No. Many captive kept animals are also known as IDs and while depending on land/enclosure size, a collar may not be necessary to track the animal down, many scientists still know them by a sequence of numbers. However, if the animal has an extremely large territory while still being in captivity, a collar may be used to monitor movements. 

How do I create my own radio collar ID? 

There is no single way to create one, however I will try to offer multiple options. 

(Please note that none of these are my original ideas! I will do my best to cite others who have similar posts on creating an ID, similarly, if you have another strategy/idea and would like it to be added, please contact me.)

1. Use the first two digits of the year you awakened, ex: 2026, for the first two numbers. For the next two numbers, use the last digits two of your birth year, ex: 1952. Finally, include a letter at the end that you feel aligns with your orientation: M (male) F (female) A/X (gender neutral/other). Using the examples, the final ID would be 2052X.  other posts about the making of this ID: here (@wulfbones), here, (@astrakaninez) 2. Some researchers sort by state or country, so some IDs will have prefixes such as NY2052X or NY40M, indicating said animal is in/from New York. 3. Similarly to IDs being sorted by state/country, many are more specific and are sorted by region or habitat. For example, in a study made about Red Wolf recovery, there were two main populations: Island Propagation Site, and Great Smoky Mountains National Parks. The habitat the radio collared wolves lived in determined part of their IDs, 'I' correlating to Island Propagation Site while 'S' linked to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. This could be seen as: S2052X, or I40M. (Using example numbers). 4. There are also systems counted by population, which would generally start at zero and move up as said animal population increased. For example, if you were the 40th male elk in the region, your radio collar ID could be 40M.  5. Just use numbers you feel resonate with you or numbers you like, ending with an M, F or A/X.

Something to keep in mind: generally male animals with ID collars have odd numbers, while females have even, although this is not always the case. 

I have also found that usually uppercase M, F, X/A indicates adulthood, while lowercase (m, f, a/x) can indicate that the animal is a juvenile. Some other sources use a 'J' (juvenile) or an 'A', to signify a breeding pair. A 'C' in the ID can also signal that the collared animal is in captivity. Both the 'J', 'C' and 'A' are generally put in front, while the sex is generally last. An example of this would be J40F, which would signify a juvenile, female animal, that is the 40th of its kind in the area/population.

Link to article with several good ID examples here. (thank you @wulfbones for finding this article)

I would also like to acknowledge and emphasize both the meaning and importance of a radio collared ID. Although some animals, such as myself, have another name that they may be called, to many who use ID numbers, those are their names. While yes, IDs are fun to create and play around with, it is also important to realize that both radio collars and the IDs that come with them are very meaningful and important to many and should be given respect.

Thoughts on paraphilia?

as long as it's between two consenting adults i don't gaf.

this is also my view and opinion on a large majority of topics.

[hxvnsentfangs]

also going through my inbox this afternoon, please send asks if anycritter has any ⭑.ᐟ

plus i'm super bored

[hxvnsentfangs]

getting my claws done, extremely excited to have some long, sharp nails again!

probably my favorite more "underrated" way to feel euphoric daily is to have my claws done and cared for, would highly suggest

[heathertrash10-blog]

Reblog if

It’s 104% okay to come to your DM and just say, “Hi, can we be friends?” And then start asking you random questions.

[western-1357]

Summer is always difficult for 1357M. The itch under his skin to be raising his pups, with it’s mate, is incredibly strong during the warmer months. The need to be hunting young deer, holding them in his jowls and bringing them home to their den is another issue he has. Its prey drive is always so much stronger in the summer and winter.

[wulfbones]

It's summer. I'm supposed to be raising my pups during the time of year. The world is cruel.

[hxvnsentfangs]

been feeling extremely dysphoric about my lack of pups lately… my mate told me that i need to “stop mourning the pups i’ve never had”, but what can i say. i would do anything to be teaching my pups now, be raising them with my mate, teaching them to swim or hunt, to watch them grow and to all sleep together under the stars. wishful thinking i suppose.

[hxvnsentfangs]

wolf got an eyebrow piercing. pretty pawsome

[hxvnsentfangs]

eyebrow piercing rejected.... ouch

radiocollared canines list

i thought i should make this list to keep track of radiocollared buddies so we can mutual one another. 🐾 (if you’d like to be added or removed, please let me know!)

males:

@western-1357 - 1357M

@wulfbones - 1227M

@tiredcanid - 2207M

@collared-pacific - 1813M

females:

@astrakaninez - 1309F

@1906f-barks - 1906F

gender neutral/other:

myself - 1806X

[collared-pacific]

1813M is curious if the canine/wolf alterhuman community would enjoy being in a pack-like Discord server? He may make it dedicated to radiocollared canines as they seem few and far between, although it would likely be open to all (including those with canine IDs alongside other species IDs).

So, he gives you a poll. He would be very grateful for suggestions for this server as well.

Would you join a canine/wolf pack server?

Yes

No

Only if it’s open to alterhumans with no canine IDs as well

Only if it has an age limit (16+, 18+, etc.)

Remaining time: 3 days 3 hours

You do not need a tail. You just killed an animal because you are fucked up in the head and think wearing a tail makes you an animal. There is no such thing as “ethicly sourced tails” an animal still died because you are unwell. You disgust me.

wait I’m a little honored, first hate comment !!! also: it’s ethically*

(in the midst of a very reality breaking coyote shift, the moon is evil for it transformed us without warning nor merit and just arawrghrhrhrrawrgghrhgrawarhgrrrrrr

happy full moon to all who get to see the beautiful moon in all it’s glory tonight, howl extra loud for me, maybe you’ll get a howl back !!

[hxvnsentfangs]

i recently purchased a (ethically sourced) coyote tail. generally, i don’t wear a ton of gear and actively dislike how a lot of gear looks/feels on me; ex I strongly dislike cat-mask style masks because they never quite look like me and are just generally uncomfortable to me personally. however, when i saw this tail I knew i HAD to purchase because of the tail similarities to my coat, which is salt and pepper patterned, similar to this tail, even though i am not a coyote. anyways- so freaking hype to wear this out but mostly SO SO excited to just see it on myself in the mirror and have a TAIL TO WAG !!
