Anyone with multiple kintypes or maybe fellow shapeshifters: Do you have certain features that stick around in different forms?

For me, I always have long / large ears. Animal me always has big ears, and if I stay humanoid it's always long elven ears.

pretty much all my forms have a head silhouette like this!

pretty weird and I have no idea why-

shapeshifters deciding to be a cat one day and a dragon the next just for funsies:

OUGH this dog has had a long week. Nap time...

Zzzzz...

unknownwildsoul

long, cold, dark, and rainy car drives with the heat going full blast remind me so much of being a working dog

like coming home after a case, or a search and rescue mission, or herding sheep, or or (etc)

my limbs and my paws ache, but my instincts are sated, my eyes are half closed, and sleep is but a whisker away. i know i’ve been a good dog today.

my humans chatter away in the front seat, low tones of music undercutting their voices. i’m not focusing enough to make out their words, don’t particularly care to. i know there’s a warm bed and food waiting once we finally get home, but for now… i think i’ll take a little nap in the backseat.

Unpopular opinion but you cannot fake being alterhuman. If you're worried about faking it, you are not. It's also kind of impossible to fake

"What if I'm not actually an animal, but I just want to be?" There's a term for that

"What if I'm just a human who convinced myself I have a connection with this animal?" There's a term for that

"What if I'm faking my theriotype and I'm actually some other animal??" Your theriotype is real to you and that's what matters. Maybe you discovered you aren't a wolf, but at one point you felt a close enough connection that you really deeply felt and experienced being one, and.... there's a term for that

Literally there is no way to fake being an alterhuman if you have good intentions. Do whatever you want forever. You're what you say you are
