°={ INTRO!! }=°

~•° Heya I'm xylia / Luna! °•~

My pronouns are literally anything. It/it's and neopronouns included. I don't care since I do not have a gender.

I am an alterhuman and have identified one for aroundd I would say 3-4 years??

I came on Tumblr cuz I dunno I felt like it :]

Here are some of my identities:

Lynx (or bobcat. I'm unsure.)

Eurasian magpie

Cougar

Serval

And ofc my face reveal:

I hope to make some friends while also learn about other alterhuman terms to be able to explain myself better but also to understand othercritters.

Idk if I'm spiritual or physical ( or anything in between for that matter) so I just kinda go with being this animal on unknown levels for unknown reasons.

For now I only identify with therianthropy but there are a lot of things about me that I don't understand and there for can not put into an identity box lol. I just know Im not rlly human besides the fact that my body is or atleast looks like one.

I love gardening, drawing and animal care. Also politics is something I really enjoy but absolutely hate at the same timee

I will start my vet tech study after this summer and can't wait to finish it in 4-ish years! When I'm done studying I plan to either keep being a vet tech or go into politics to advocate for other people and critters.

Rn one of my dreams is to have a little farm on my own if it's possible. I'm starting to learn for it with books but also raising animals like lil baby ducks!! (They're so adorable)

That's probably all you need to know.

If you have any questions about me feel free to ask me anything pleaseee, I love questionss

Okai bai baai! :]

What do you mean “chat” is now referring to ChatGPT and not twitch chat? What? What? What the fuck? No?

When I address chat I am speaking to a presumed Greek chorus of real human people shitposting on their lunch break, not a machine that devours lakes to covert electricity into slop.

What if we win?

What if the children go to schools unafraid of tear gas and bullets?

What if the birds come back, and the bees are healed, and every species moves from endangered, to threatened, to thriving?

What if the rainforest ADVANCES?

What if every parking lot had solar panels? What if every structure had solar panels? What if we built climbing gyms and terraced gardens in the skeletons of old coal power plants?

What if you baked your neighbor bread, and they shared their home-grown blackberries?

What if every person who needed a home, had one? What if every person who needed healing was healed?

What if every body was treasured for what it was, not what it should be?

What if every trans child's parents attended their graduation, their wedding, their new-name-day?

What if every warehouse became a closed-circle repair station? Goods flowing out, and back, and out again? What if landfills started to SHRINK?

What if the water and air were clean? What if there was enough public transit that the cars dwindled, leaving the streets safe for kids on bikes, evening deer, midnight cats and foxes?

What if we win?

How would you win?

Tbh I think the levels in therianthropy feel a bit strict for most critters. Like it's always 'ur either this or this', while I personally think u can fit anywhere between the levels, identify partially with a level or not identify with any level at all. I am unsure on which levels my identity goes and I think that counts for a lot of others too, I'm not even sure if I can rlly fit my identity in one or multiple levels. This creature is just who I am and I don't know why, neither on which kind of levels identify as them.

Just thought I would put that out there :]

So many humans think there is a distinct difference between a “human” and an “animal”, but there’s just not.

humans think they are the most important species, but so does every species. being a majority does not make that a truth.

sometimes I wish papers about human physiology and psychology were written in the same way they’re written about other animals. I feel like people would better understand.

Final call for responses:

The therian study survey will be closing at midnight on the 12th of April (BST).

We’re now at over 500 responses, and the dataset is already incredibly strong; thank you to everyone who has taken part so far. This final window is to allow any last contributions before moving into the analysis stage, hopefu

If you’ve been meaning to take part (or know someone who might want to), now is the time!

The survey is anonymous and you can skip any questions.

After this, I’ll be closing responses and beginning work on analysing and writing up the results.

Thank you again! the level of engagement with this has been amazing.

Therian Study Stage One

This survey is part of an independent research project aiming to provide a better understanding of therian identity from the perspective of

Dude I love when my friends call me one of my theriotypes. Greatest is when they don't even know I am a therian. Like yes twin, I am a serval

[luna1crystalstudios]

there is this weird thing with my therianthrophy, specifically my magpie theriotype. i feel connected to it strongly but specifically to the more folklore and myth side. cunning thiefs and collectors of shiny objects. Just in pieces of art like these is how i see myself mostly. it's how i reflect my spirituality in a way i guess?

[seawaterdreams]

Tonight was the first time i have ever truly and completely felt connected to my selkie side.

For the first time in years, my country was directly in the path of a total lunar eclipse, which isn’t particularly rare, but what does make it rare is the fact that the sky was actually clear, and we were able to see the whole thing.

i went down to the beach with my family and fiddled around with my phone trying to take an image (did not work unfortunately) before eventually giving up and just watching the eclipse right before totality. Because the moon was full, the tide nearby was at its peak and i could hear it crashing onto the rocks. I then had the sudden urge to go down and stand in the water, so naturally i ran across the grass and carefully climbed down the wet rocks and slipped a couple times before making it to the water and looking up at the moon.

because i’m part human and was raised in a human environment, i was never taught any real selkie songs. no melodies or words come to me naturally, but i knew that it didn’t really matter to the moon and sea what i sung, and so i sang some of my favourite songs that i hold a lot of sentiment towards. I started off quiet at first because it wasn’t something i did often, but then as the waves surged harder and the moon glowed orange i think it urged me to sing properly, and then i looked down and i saw bioluminescence.

i ran to get my family and brought them down to the water, and as the full moon shone red-orange above and the wind blew against my wet skin and my clothes became soaked and the cold water settled in my bones and the stars of the sea twinkled on my skin, i sang to the sea and i sang to the moon and i danced and danced until i felt sick and couldn’t dance anymore, and then i played with my siblings in the water and showed my mother how the washed up seagrass glowed when you shook it hard enough and for the first time ever, i think this is what it truly truly means to be a selkie. I’ve always wanted to perform in the full moon rites that my kind traditionally partake in to celebrate their existence and their creator, but i’d never really had the chance to until now.

There won’t be another blood moon like this until in two years time, and even then i doubt it’ll be the same, because tonight was so special and so incredibly meaningful to me that i doubt i’ll ever experience something like it again. These are the kinds of things that make me really believe that magic exists, and you just have to know how to find it.

tomorrow i will most likely be even sicker and i will be utterly and completely miserable, but it was all worth it for that half hour in the glittering water with the red moon above. I’ve finally started to truly connect with my selkie side, and i hope that i can do my own little rites every full moon.

tonight i hope to dream of the sea and the moon.

Oh.my.god.

Yeah so uh i'm very pissed right now. Theriantropy is going somewhat viral in my country now, like, a big news letter just posted something.

Not to doxx myself but

Quick translation: Teenagers walk on all fours, that's behind it

"Humans with Furmasks move like animals through parks, behind the TREND is an online subculture"

Other thing reads: "When TEENAGERS see themselves as wolf, dog or cat"

I know it sounds a bit silly, but my heart is racing right now, i'm scared that it might end like it did in spain.

And i'm also FCKING FURIOUS. THE MISINFO.MINE AND MANY OTHERS IDENTITY GETTING DOWNPLAYED AS "Teen trend" ONCE AGAIN. oh god bro

I'm genuinely hoping that it either gets forgotten soon or people react nice

I'm so done bruh

[luna1crystalstudios]

This giant therian discourse all happened because of fake news btw

Thank you random teenager who decided to lie to a news channel about being bitten by a group of therians

And thank you news channel for zero fact checking

We are so thankful for your service ❤

[birdydogs]

It’s funny, as I get healthier and keep going further in my recovery, my therianthropy seems to be getting stronger. What I mean by that is I have more room in my brain to understand who I am and how I identify, and being a Wolf is more of a constant now. I can feel my ears and snout and Wolf body most if not all of the time and it is really a wonderful experience!

There are folks out there that view therianthropy in a negative light, as if it is a result of “poor mental heath” and is possible to “get over” once someone gets healthier but that is simply not true!! As I get healthier, I become more of a Wolf, not less. I can feel my identity so wholeheartedly now that my medications are finally in order and being a Wolf brings me joy! I feel so authentically me, and I am a Wolf now more than ever! *wags tail*

[talon-dragonbeast]

thank god i didnt go to the therian hangout at my city. apparently some people from my college planned to go see if any therians showed up (to bully them presumably), and one of my roommates mentioned wanting to go bc they were curious. i hear the word therian everyday on the street now, and never in a good light. literally rn im hearing two classmates mocking them two seats behind me. i hate this. i hate all of this. its legitimately dangerous to be openly alterhuman these days, therian children are being picked up on the streets and getting beaten up. AI generated videos are everywhere, and apparently everyone has seen at least one of them. i had to hide some of my drawings in my room that depicted my 'types and cover up all the theta deltas i had. this will pass, but jesus christ. im so scared.

Therians are in the news again moodboard

[cavebehindthevines]

Quick thought on the sudden rise in therian talk in news

So today I’ve seen posts on multiple platforms from those living in Latin America saying the news and social media is suddenly discussing therians a lot, in a very negative way.

Something I need y’all to know, based on my experience living as trans for 10 years and being a furry for several as well: DO NOT TALK TO THE MEDIA. You can speak to TRUSTED, preferably independent journalists. Previously center and liberal news media like CNN and the New York Times have taken a steep rightwing shift. Do not go on podcasts, do not talk to tv reporters, etc. It will put you in harms way. You will be taken out of context. They will attack you with premeditated questions to make you look bad, knowing you are not prepared to debate/justify your existence. I repeat,

DO NOT TALK TO THE MEDIA.
