I have a genuine question that you and others may take offense to but do you think being therian is a disorder called BIID?

BIID specifically has to do with the desire to be paralyzed and/or an amputee, so no. It’s unrelated.This is a pretty good research paper done on BIID, if anyone wants to check it out btw: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3326051/I also apologize for the super late response. I haven’t checked my inbox in a very long time.

What dysphoria do you have?

For me my hands are the worst. Fingers feel so wrong and some days I can’t stand to look at them. Then it’s my face. The lack of a muzzle its so disconcerting that I’be been known to turn the mirrors around.

Shit, this post should be called ‘reasons I’m getting a therapist when I leave home.

ink-black-dragon

What doesn’t? I hate how I walk, how my shitty human vocal cords can’t make the sounds I want, that weird no muzzle and small teeth thing, and ya know the whole missing limbs thing. The real thing that gets me is that I can’t change that for this life I’m stuck like this, that sounds crazy. Before I had the ability to change but now I can’t I’m just stuck like this.

The worst things have to be that my human body has all of these back problems that I never had as a dragon or a microraptor, my lack of a muzzle, and the lack of wings to stop me from falling (I'm terrified of stairs because my instincts immediately want me to fly/glide down).

Dragonhearted~

I’m not dragonkin, just -hearted, but I feel like a dragon anytime I’m around fire. Especially if I’m tasked with keeping it lit. The fire feels alive to me and it’s like taking care of a child, haha! So here, have dragon-me taking care of a nest–a pile of rocks to hold in heat, lit on fire with scorching breath, and maintained by a loving and well-camouflaged wyvern. :P

I'm dragonkin and I know what I looked like, but I also might be dragonhearted like you! Also, you look cool as heck!

Am I the only dragon, who didn’t eat stones and metals but only hoarded them? There’s this thing I very often (almost always) see about dragons eating stones, and I kinda see where it comes from, but I’m strating to feel alone ^^”

I used to eat loads of meat (but not fish) ,and berries and other fruit. Also I always carried some salt boulders in my backpack because I love salt very much.

lightthefirefeelthesparks

I’ve never eaten stones, but I like to pick up nice shiny things - especially shiny rocks. I have some really nice gemstones in a little chest!

theron-kin

I never ate them either, except for on one occasion my rider wanted to take away a seashell so to prove a point i swallow it. In my human life, I do like to taste my gemstones and minerals to differentiate the texture of each, but that might just be a me thing.

dzamie

For a second I thought you said you ate your RIDER to prove a point.

thyrell-sorrell

well,

silverssupersecretspace

Anyway I don't think I ever ATE my gemstones but I think I chewed on them?? Probably helped polish them and it's like how I constantly chew on stuff even as a human. Also some pennies literally make my mouth water??

I also definitely hoarded rocks and still do to this day (i still find old clothes with pockets full of rocks sometimes)

I want to fly and run on all fours so badly. Whenever I run, I pretend that I run on all fours, whenever the wind blows or I’m sitting in a moving vehicle or listening to a dynamic song, I pretend that I’m flying. Whenever I’m listening to angry songs or songs that’s focus is on the lyrics, I pretend that I’m shouting as a dragon and use raw animalistic expressions and I love every single one of these moments so much.

Hi! I saw you're a microraptor therian, just thought I'd say hello because I'm a zhenyuanlong and it's pretty hard to find other active dinokin on here! It's nice to see I'm not completely alone though :v

Hi! I get how hard it is to find other dinos and how frustrating it isIf you'd like to talk, feel free to do that!

apprehensiveacolyte

I think I’m going to begin doing what @hallowedbone has been doing, using “otherkind” and “fictionkind” instead of otherkin and fictionkin.

The definitions of the latter terms have been distorted and warped to such a degree that it’s almost as if they no longer belong to us.

elevengrackles-deactivated20181

I’m on board with this.

silverssupersecretspace

I like this idea a lot. Would it also apply to things like dragonkind (dragonkin is a D&D race too so that's confusing sometimes), caninekind, ect.?

My little dragon hoard! I’m really happy with what I have so far, but I need to get a rock tumbler for a lot of stones I have and need to polish!

helpful-dragon

It’s so pretty! I love that bracelet - and is that a dino tooth??

silverssupersecretspace

Thank you! And yep, that's a dino tooth! I got it because I'm raptorkin and I decided it looked really nice in my hoard.

WE CAN’T PROVE THEY WEREN’T HUGE FATBIRDS

coelasquid

simply the best

beepothough

There was a post about how, if we only added muscle and skin to whales without considering massive amounts of blubber and cartilage, they would look extremely skinny based on their skeletons, but it’s extremely hard to tell if they would have had blubber based on their skeletons alone. If we had to reconstruct them from skeletons alone, like we would with dinosaurs, they would be slim and sleek.

We can’t prove they weren’t huge fatbirds.

Therians Wearing Stuff

There are so many more important aspects of being a therianthrope than targeting someone for the things they wear. Do you enjoy wearing tails and ears to match your theriotype? Do you feel that wearing tails and ears is uncomfortable or foolish? Do you wear ears and tails for reasons other than therianthropy? Guess what? It’s all okay! It’s not the end of the world if you see someone with a tail just as much as it’s not the end of the world if you see someone without one. It is not a sign of being juvenile or misunderstanding therianthropy. Those characteristics can only be determined by the actual knowledge and behaviour of the individual. Learn about a person before you decide that their clothing choices deem them unworthy of your time.

#therian #otherkin #i wear lots of black shirts with nice bright decals on them #it just makes me feel rlly nice and i guess its bc my dino self had shiny black feathers #kinwear

I have confusing feelings over dragonkin who say they’re “Asian dragons”.

Obviously, you can’t pick your kin/theriotype same as you can’t pick a fictotype. If you remember being a dragon the likes depicted in east Asian lore, I’ll believe you. But if you don’t know even the basics of what those are, like the difference between a Korean dragon and a Japanese one, I’m gonna wonder if you’re being genuine or just attracted to the ~mystical Asian~ aesthetic.

We are very, very tied to our people, in ways that western dragons aren’t. Just keep it in mind, is all.

whitewyvernkin

i feel like a lot of the time people identify as “asian dragons” its more from a physical standpoint than anything. asian style dragons have a particular, unique shape about them and there’s not really a better way to describe a creature that looks that way.

i mean, i don’t know for sure, but it’s just an idea.

hallowedbone

There are various dragons in the west who look like us, though! Maybe it’s worth a refresher.

“Catalan dragons are serpent-like creatures with two legs (rarely four) and, sometimes, a pair of wings. Their faces can resemble that of other animals, like lions or cattle. They have a burning breath. Their breath is also poisonous, the reason by which dracs are able to rot everything with their stench. A víbria is a female dragon.”

“Lindworms are serpent-like dragons with either two or no legs. In Nordic and Germanic heraldry, the lindworm looks the same as a wyvern. The dragon Fafnir was a lindworm.” (art source)

“The worm hill dragon - 700 AD the Anglo-Saxons settled and called it “Wruenele” this translates as “Wruen” worm, reptile or dragon and “ele” hill. According to local folklore the hill at Knotlow (Derbyshire) was the lair of a dragon and the terraces around it were made by the coils of its tail. Knotlow is an ancient volcanic vent and this may explain the myth.”

“The Lambton worm - The legend says that it curled around Worm Hill near Fatfield in northeast England, would eat livestock and children, and was killed during the time of the Crusades by a Sir John Lambton.”

“A giant winged snake, which is in fact a full-grown zomok. It often serves as flying mount of the garabonciás (a kind of magician). The sárkánykígyó rules over storms and bad weather.” <– bonus points for sharing an elemental trait

“The Vishap is a dragon in Armenian mythology closely associated with water, similar to the Leviathan. It is usually depicted as a winged snake or with a combination of elements from different animals.”

“In Asturias and León mythology the Cuélebres are giant winged serpents, which live in caves where they guard treasures and kidnapped xanas. They can live for centuries and, when they grow really old, they use their wings to fly. Their breath is poisonous and they often kill cattle to eat.”

“In the Albanian mythology Bolla (also known as Bullar in South Albania), is a type of serpentic dragon (or a demonic dragon-like creature) with a long, coiled, serpentine body, four legs and small wings in ancient Albanian folklore.”

Probably the only thing these dragons don’t share with us are the distinctive beards and whiskers, but even we don’t always have those, so I think it’s unwise to describe oneself as an Asian dragon based on superficial things alone.
