"it" as in the deer you saw before the bucks start growing their antlers.

"she" as in the deer you saw mid-fall who you know is female.

It doesn’t matter if you have a disability, or even just your human body doesn’t match up with your other one

You can be a hawk with glasses

You can be a hare with hearing aids

You can be a dog with bad smell (I’m this one)

You can be a cheetah in a wheelchair

You can be a snow leopard who can’t stand the cold

You can be a desert scorpion that can’t stand the heat

You can be a bee with pollen allergies

You can be an anteater with a fear of bugs

You can be a moth that doesn’t like lights

It doesn’t matter what you identify as, you’re valid

Friendly reminder that for some of us, this little online community is all we've got. We are all deeply in... Narnia, I guess you could call it, when it comes to our loved ones. They don't know. Many of them actively mock us. So please be kind. We're going to have our disagreements, but it doesn't have to devolve into hatred and vitriol. Let's love each other. Let's uplift each other. Let's fight for one another.

We're gonna make it. We have nothing left to lose.

There's a lot of carnivores there, isn't it? As a hare myself, I wonder how many of us herbivores are here, being somehow active in the community.

If you have 2+ theriotypes, answer with what is your main / stronger theriotype right now, in the moment.

For adults only please, I want data from my fellow adults. And care to reblog for reach?

Herbivore 🌿🌾

Voting ended onJun 12

My twisted self-esteem quietly hints to me that there are more open-and-proud carnivores because very few want to be proud of being what is considered prey, and therefore those with pronounced herbivore theriotypes often sit in the closet. Even orthohumans (most of the time) answer the "what animal would you be" question with some cool carnivore.

I'm embarrassed that I'm a hare, it takes a stupidly long time accepting it. Not even a stronger herbivore that can defend itself, like those with mighty horns and hooves. A hare, a creature every carnivore wants to chase down and eat. So, yea.

[muledeers]

just as carnivores do, prey animals all have their strengths, be it swiftness or muscle. i like to think resilience is woven through all of us, buffalo to mouse, and so on and so forth. the hare is just as formidable in its own ways. i do agree with you about why we see fewer herbivores, though. i think there's also a large amount of prey animals who keep a distance because of the amount of discussion of prey drive/consumption from carnivores, which may make some of them uncomfortable? (nothing wrong with this topic from predator animals! i understand such is instinct, no shame. the topic doesn't phase me much because of my own views on it all.) i feel a similar guilt for my deer-ness at times, but not always. in a way it feels like its been engrained into me that prey are less intelligent, flighty creatures that exist solely to be food. we are more than food.

I am on my paws and knees begging folks to realize they don't have to be the world's most amazing writer ever to write! The alterhuman tags have been feeling really devoid and empty of a lot of the usual interesting essays lately and that makes me really sad! I love it when you all write! I love reading about the experiences of people! You also don't have to be interesting to write about yourself. Most people, I find, view themselves to be quite boring and are more fascinated with the lives of others. The reality of this is that you think you're boring because you've lived with yourself/selves your entire life! Of course you're going to seem mundane to yourself. But the secret is, nobody else is you. And no matter how utterly boring you find yourself or your thoughts or your particular relation to the alterhuman community I can assure you, you are interesting to others out there. Your voice DOES matter. Your thoughts and experiences DO have value. You ARE valuable. So please, please write. Please draw. Please share your experiences through literally whatever form you possibly can! I LOVE to read about everyone's unique experiences. Some of my favourite essays and writings out there have been from people who are so entirely and vastly different from myself that I could never have even conceived of the way they viewed things and how they experienced the world around them until I read about their experiences. Some of my favourite artworks are from people who's styles and preferences are wholly different from my own. I promise you, you do not have to be talented or skilled or amazing or perfect to create something of meaning and worth that revolves around your experience. Whether that be a handful of sentences attempting to verbalize a way you felt during a shift, or a several thousand word essay on your particular experience as a spiritual therian. Whether that be a simple pen scribble or a 16+ hour finished piece of work. Whatever it may be. It has meaning because you made it with your own digits with your own hands with your own claws and its yours. Please write.

PSA to always groom/preen yourself for ticks after you've been in a forest/grassy area, especially if deer live around there!! they can transmit Lyme disease, which can result in some serious long-term health issues if not treated efficiently.

they can hide under fur and feathers and wedge between scales, and they tend to like crevices on the body. stay safe everyone!!

[muledeers]

look out for berry bugs and fleas as well! while not the health risk ticks are, these critters can certainly cause problems and irritation, along with fleas transmitting their own range of diseases. it's always a good idea to thoroughly check yourself for anything hitching a ride after being through tall grass!

[muledeers]

i am very fortunate to go to my local community college, my student account gives me access to many paper and journal archives! i think i might enjoy reading scientific papers on my own species and its relatives more than an ordinary book. haha.
