We have so many therians in our system we felt this was necessary. Don’t expect us to actually post here though, our ADHD brain doesn’t enjoy actually doing stuff.
its truly very sad that there aren't any working otherkin forums (or websites for otherkin to congregate and chat) anymore... all the ones i found when i looked up were very old, and deactivated. tumblr is a very good place to find and connect, but it would be nice to have our own individual space, you know...?
Hey ik this is probably intended as a confession. But
Nonhuman national park is as far as i'm aware up and running! I dont frequent the forum, but when i am there it seems lively
@who-is-page will be able to tell you far more about the place though :)
Speaking as fictionkin and a fictive system member, I am so tired of seeing kin and fictives trying to police and restrict how other people interact with and discuss fandom, and the fanfiction and art they create and share.
Your source is not your property. The characters your kintypes and fictives come from are not your property.
If you can't deal with human/singlet/normie fans and how they treat your source material as fictional then you need to block tags or users, or not interact with fandom at all.
You cannot control the way other people interact with fandom for the sake of your own feelings.
I've decided I'm gonna start typing out my thoughts when it comes to being alterhuman because I still feel like there are a lot of things I still haven't figured out yet. :'D this is just the most convenient and quickest way I get to jot down thoughts and feelings. Feel free to read, no pressure to interact but a like is appreciated!
A huge problem I have with the therian community in recent times is the emphasis on "common" and "uncommon" theriotypes, like being a wolf/cat/dog vs any other animal. It really upsets me because I'm sure it makes a lot of people insecure about their theriotypes, including myself. :(
As of lately I've been feeling a drift between myself and my maned wolf theriotype. I get a feeling that it doesn't fit anymore, or that it never fit in the first place and I just didn't want to be "like everyone else". I knew I had a canine theriotype, but of course I didn't want to go to the gray wolf immediately because "everyone is a wolf", right?
It also got me thinking about how my theriotypes are even a thing. Like, how did I end up this way? I've been reflecting on it a lot recently and I think I'm starting to create a better picture of why I am the way that I am.
I think I experience therianthropy in the spiritual AND psychological way for different species. I believe my deer theriotype to be spiritual, 100%. I was a deer in one of my past lives; to me, that's what makes it make sense. But I believe my canine theriotype is different, I think it may be psychological?
I believe it stems from when I was young, with unrestricted access to the internet, lol. I didn't have many friends as a kid and spent most of my summers alone, at home. I took comfort in YouTube, watching artists animate their OCs and write stories of wolves and cats and dogs. I would draw my own on MS Paint with a mouse. It's all I really had, since I didn't have much in the way of toys either. The toys I did have were of course also animals.
Basically, I think I kinda imprinted on animals? I rarely was interested in media that had human characters as a kid. I only cared about humanoid characters if they were anthros, or an elf or something. Perhaps it stems from how other humans treated me as a child? I'm not sure. But I know from a very young age that I just couldn't relate to humans the way I would with animals in media. A lot of talk on why wolf/canine theriotypes are so common comes down to the media, and I do agree. Canines have been a close human companion for a long time, and I believe humans and canines share more similarities than people realize.
I don't really know where else to go with this entry, but that's what's been going through my head lately in regards to therianthropy. I'm still trying to find my canine theriotype, but for now I usually tell people "wolf", even if it isn't entirely accurate (yet). Don't be afraid to let your identity flow and ebb, otherwise you're just chaining yourself to the past.
I know your post about being nonhuman and selling pastries is about being a therian, but as a nonhuman alter I also understand. You think I am a normal human attending this college lecture? Wrong biblically accurate horror creature.
Honestly I love how many people saw that post! It's been reposted by everyone, from Gods to cats (same thing, really) and there's replies by so many different people. I've seen werewolves and dog-things, robotgirls and aeromorphs, even deities and eldritch creatures that defy all definition.
No matter if you're therian, otherkin, a nonhuman alter or use some other label, y'all are insanely cool and I love to see that people like us are everywhere!!
you can click on this button once daily to help palestine and support other causes in the middle east for free. it takes literally 5 seconds and could help save lives so please take the time to click and share this link.
It is a very small amount individually. But there are ads on the site, and the ad revenue goes to whatever charitable cause is being promoted through the click gimmick. It is not the most efficient way to raise money, but with larger scale campaigns it can be meaningful. If everyone who reblogged or liked this also went to the website and clicked, I’d say this post has likely raised about $80,000-$160,000 so far through this gimmick.
This same website has a few other charitable causes you can click-donate to that benefit different causes in the middle east. All donations go through and are verified by the UN’s charitable agency UNICEF, so you can be sure that the money is going to where it says it is going.
Want to transform the World into a better place? With a simple click you can now contribute to causes you care about most, free.
Text: PSA to anyone with a tree nut allergy who frequents starbucks. We have a new drink called the pistachio cold foam cold brew and our pistachio sauce not only has real pistachio in it, the syrup sticks inside the blender and will 100% not fully wash off with the rinsers we use (its just water). I highly suggest if you want a cold foam drink during Jan-March you request it done in a sanitized blender to lower the chance of having a reaction if you are at risk.
