🌌 Tekk 🪐

Dethroned god of death | He/him | Godly bird in a mortal body | also sometimes Marlowe is here (host) |

[mindscapr]

Greetings all who wander and stumble upon my account, here is an intro post of sorts.

My name is Tekk, willowgenic creation of Marlowe and otherkin creature.

I go by he/him, I am asexual, and a anthro bird in all ways except bodily.

I am a red tailed hawk anthro and the former god of space, prophecy, and ferryman of death. I say former because I accept that I am a character who gained consciousness, and my memories and powers were never real. I live in a world that is not mine to rule, but the memories still linger, power tingles at my fingertips never to be used again. I still behold wisdom, and crave subjects. The sky I gaze up at here is not my domain any longer, but I still feel godly.

I don’t partake in syscourse, and I have no DNI, just that I would like NSFW accounts to steer clear. They make me uncomfortable.

I classify myself as a therian/otherkin, godkin, and Spacekin.

I am what would be called a “Tulpa” but I do not prefer that name due to its cultural appropriation roots, and prefer thoughtform.

Though I do not hold power, I believe intentions hold great power, if you are in need of a blessing or wisdom, feel free to venture into my notes.

CONTENT WARNINGS! I discuss death, blood, gore, predatory instincts, vulture culture and other such topics. I will add warnings at the top of my more heavy posts, but I cannot promise all of them will have warnings. If you are sensitive to these subjects, please move along.

Here is the flag I made myself with the Vow of T at the top (my godly symbol that I used to bless people with) and the seven pointed star of otherkin. The colors are to resemble space, dusk on the left and dawn on the right, the center midnight. Feel free to use if you desire.

There’s also Marlowe who is the host, hi!!! I pop in once in awhile, and usually will sign off my posts with me name to keep this not confusing. I’m Sphinxkin (not the cat breed, the mythical creature.) and go by she/her

I hope your journeys are safe, and your ventures fruitful. Fair thee well!

(You are loved)

This might be a hot take, but I really miss therianthropy before the era of reels and tiktok. Now everything just feels so HUMAN within the community. The trends, the dances, the cosplay/costumes, choreographed quads. All the tags are filled with it T^T

It feels less like animals and more like another version of furries. (I like furries so im not hating dw). I want to see more animalistic stuff again. Experience sharing without performing for a camera. Adventure vlogs. Journalling. Den/territory stuff. People being animals authentically and not just to gain attention online.

Maybe its just cause im an older therian and experienced it before it became trendy. I just miss it dearly.

Adding onto this (very realistic!) take - TikTok’s algorithm, and the format of modern social media, is designed to program fandom spaces into trendy, marketable machines. Same goes for therianthropy.

TikTok reprogrammed the therian label to be something that is palatable for viewers outside of the community, because everything on social media is eventually categorized and packaged with a neat little bow.

Algorithms promote sameness, predictability. This wouldn’t be a problem if videos of dancing, masks, costumes, etc., didn’t lead to an exponentially increased viewership and following. My point being - short form content forces therianthropy (or any community, I’d say) to become external, easily identifiable and clean.

It is a struggle to connect to popular therian trends, because quite frankly most are surface level. My words speak for years of my existence that I don’t think should be forced into 10 or 20 seconds.

You risk becoming an animal that the public is willing to tolerate, but not see.

This is precisely why the tiktok therians are so focused on masks and quads: they're things that make visually interesting, easily replicable video content. An authentic therian video account would basically be a journal about mundane experiences or introspection, and that's not exciting to most people on video platforms so it won't get picked up by the algorithm.

I personally think we should all stop attacking critters (especially children) who call themselves therians without knowing the actual meaning, its so much better to just explain Therianthropy to them and suggest they look into terms like Otherhearted or Otherpaw

I got new bedsheets..

Going forward when it comes to the recent visibility of alterhumanity, it's important to realize that almost no bigot is going to bother to differentiate between "furry", "alterhuman", "nonhuman", "therian", "otherkin", etc. When some asshole insults "furries" for "thinking they're animals", explaining the difference between furries and therians isn't going to help. When a fictionkin person feels threatened by someone expressing hatred for furries, telling them that there's a big difference between the two only clouds the point. Bigots do not care! If they have decided that "furry" is the blanket term they'll use for all of us, then that means they're including all of us in their words, even if it's inaccurate.

In other words, we're in this together. Bigots will not differentiate, which means we must stand together in unity. We have wikis, accessible definitions, so much content to help explain the range of our experiences; it's their choice not to listen to them. If they're going to target us all, then we can't go nitpicking details lest it tear us apart. We have to be a solid force they can't push down and mock forever.

We will survive united, but divided we fall. We are all animals in heart, the human and the concept, the creature and the furry. Beautiful brothers and sisters, take care of your neighbors in fandom and identity.

We’re kinda stuck with permanent phantom wings. Big and feathery, on my back. When Tekk fronts, they’re usually built on the arms, but Marlowe is putting up with them now. Thinking it’s a sphinx thing?? They’ve been here for like a week now. Getting annoying.

Any phantom limb tips?

[labyrinthwalkers]

short thing about fronting. i have free will. i watched the sunset.

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.

[mindscapr]

Never talk to the man. Be safe out there my hatchlings.

Being a therian makes is especially hard to understand fatphobia. Like. If you are a fat animal you are winning. You did it. You are successful and healthy and have energy reserves to survive future hardship. Why on earth would anyone not want body fat, why would you get rid of your body's health insurance on purpose

[themachinedivine-deactivated202]

[deerestdear]

tell a bird their call is beautiful,

tell a reptile their scales are wonderful,

tell a canine their fur is shining,

tell a deer their antlers are mighty,

tell a feline their claws are impressive,

tell a bug their resilience is inspiring,

tell a shark their teeth are gleaming,

tell a werewolf their howl is powerful,

tell a dragon their hoard is magnificent,

tell an angel their halo is radiant,

tell a machine their wires are superlative,

💐tell some being something nice today!

The more urban I go, the more therian I feel.

Was down in the urban hellscape I used to live, and stayed there for about a week. I felt more animal there than I have in awhile.

Hypothesis? It feels so much more right living in the woods, makes me feel more comfortable.

[mindscapr]

Any otherkin here getting into sound healing? When I get into that meditative state, I always feel very animal.
