my friend just told me that there's a secret second dashboard that solely contains posts from people you've turned on post notifications for, and when i click the link in the messages it opens it within the tumblr app, so the tumblr app also has a secret second dashboard for post notification blogs, and the only way to access it is to open the link for it within the app.

i literally love tumblr

The problem with trying to 'solve' therianthropy OR 'How can you be X if Y is true?' a useless discourse

Preface: Although my concentration is on therianthropy, a lot applies to general nonhumanity regardless of label.

It is often commented that it is difficult to define what a 'therian' is whilst being truly accurate. It is a source of frustration that this is so, as it makes it feel vaguer than it really is and yet, it cannot be accurately described at least not in a concise manner, whilst attempting to provide full information.

The most accurate definition to me is;

"A therian is someone who partially or fully identifies as a nonhuman animal in any way."

('identifies as' can be replaced with 'is' based on personal linguistic preferences)

Now wait - you might argue - shouldn't we explain about involuntariness? Origins? How it has to be real earthen animals? Theriomythics? What if someone asks 'how do you know if you're a therian' rather than 'what is a therian'? Shouldn't we talk about shifts and memories and instincts?

And my answer is no. The definition above can answer both questions. Further study is up to the individual, especially if they don't want to be bombarded with all possible information right away.

It can be as simple as 'some common experiences are...but that's not all' and 'there's many reasons why someone might see themselves as a therian such as...' if they want more information from you or you feel like giving it right away.

Because the annoying thing is any other definition with extra information baked in will always be both right and wrong at the same time especially if you only go on your own personal beliefs.

"A therian is someone who involuntarily identifies as a nonhuman animal on all levels except physical." "A therian is someone who had a past life as an animal." "A therian is someone who is an earthen animal on any level at least some of the time." etc etc

None of these are not true, but they aren't fully true either, and thus end up imperfect, giving incomplete information that gives rise to arguments and disagreements later on when someone is sure they are right and meets someone with a different interpretation of certain factors of therianthropy.

Today I saw a conversation between two therians which was not unlike many conversations I've seen.

Therian A: "Therians know what they are based on instincts and behaviours they display related to their theriotype."

Therian B: "That's not always true, for me I had no behaviours or instincts due to being raised as human in a human society, but I still know what I am."

Therian A: "If being raised in a human society got rid of nonhuman instincts them how come many therians still have them?"

The issue here is that B's attempt at educating A on different experiences of therianthropy by speaking of their own had A assuming that B was trying to apply it to all therianthropy.

And I suddenly twigged on to the fact that A, at least in part, was one of those therians who wants to 'solve' therianthropy.

They want a definite, uncomplicated, singular explaination of what a therian is, what they experience, how it works and why.

And I thought of all the different conversations and arguments and discourses I've seen that exist for basically that same reason. Butting heads about what therianthropy should be, could be, or would be if only a strict definition could be achieved.

This by and large is hurting therianthropy and actually hindering our understanding of it.

By accepting that therianthropy occurs in individuals for a plethora of reasons, than it can be voluntary and involuntary, that you can have one or a hundred theriotypes, that there are common experiences (e.g. shifts) but they're neither a requirement nor universally experienced, we can thrive a lot better.

Spend time wondering 'why' and 'how', but do so with the knowledge that your conclusions are just your own and might even only apply to you, and that will be infinitely more valuble than trying to cut out the 'fake therians' and pool together a more singular experience which time and time again has been proven to be impossible.

There may never be a conclusive explaination for why we feel as we do, and we don't need one. We know what we are, we know what it feels like to be what we are, we have history and community and a future...but it has to be one which is open to a more fluid definition of therianthropy and nonhumanity in general and a deeper understanding of the sheer diversity of experiences that do in fact 'count'.

5 of my favorite drink recipes for regressors ☆´ˎ˗ ︶︶︶

As someone who generally prefers non-solid food, I often find myself making drinks for my regressed self because they bring me a very unique kind of comfort.

So here's a small (likely the first of many) compilation of recipes that I usually make for myself when regressed!

🍓 Yogurt Smoothie🍓

This one is the simplest of them all, and one I make pretty often! Though I don't think I'm the only one who does this, I came up with the recipe myself!

Ingredients: 100g or 3,5oz of a yogurt of your choice; 2/3s of a cup of milk Method: Blend them together until it's all creamy and foamy Servings: 1 cup

🍎 Apple and Banana Smoothie 🍎

My mom used to make this for me when I was a kid! Has a porridge-like texture.

Ingredients: 2 slices of apple; 2 slices of banana; a cup of milk; a tablespoon of oatmeal; a teaspoon of sugar Method: Blend it all together and serve! Servings: around 1 1/2 cups

🍋 Swiss Lemonade 🍋

Funnily enough, the "swiss lemonade" is neither swiss nor a lemonade. I'm unsure if anyone here is familiar with this one, but for me it's the best creamy drink for a sunny afternoon

Ingredients: 2 whole limes, 600ml or 20oz of cold water, a can (395ml or 13,5oz) of condensed milk Method: cut the limes in 8 pieces, without removing the peel, blend all ingredients for less than 10 seconds (blending for too long might make the drink bitter!). Strain through a fine strainer to remove rinds and serve. Servings: around 3 cups

🍼 Burnt Milk 🍼

Another one my mom used to make for me before bed, she says it's good for sore throats. Has a unique burnt/caramelized taste.

Ingredients: 1 cup of milk; 2 teaspoons of sugar; a pinch of cinnamon (or a cinnamon stick) Method: Pour the sugar on a small saucepan, cook and stir on medium. Right when the sugar starts caramelizing (burning) add the milk and stir in. Serve and sprinkle the cinnamon on your drink! Cinnamon is also good for sore throats Servings: 1 cup

🍫 Hot Chocolate 🍫

Classic? Mayhaps. But this recipe has a little special ingredient that gives it a thicker texture

Ingredients: 1 cup of milk; 3-4 tablespoons of cocoa mix powder; 2 tablespoons of corn starch (the more you add the thicker the drink's texture); a pinch of cinnamon Method: pour the milk, cocoa and corn starch on a small saucepan, cook and stir on medium until hot. Serve and sprinkle the cinnamon Servings: 1 cup

fuck it. be creative even if you never really *make* anything. write out plot synopses of stories and then move on. design OCs you'll never use. make mood boards and concept art and don't do anything with them. life's too short to forget everything that inspired you and creation doesn't have to be "complete" to be worth the time you put into it.
