A winter morning greeted me with white trees and a delicate sun.

Captured it from my balcony because I was too groggy to go out.

I adore this view.

Can someone explain how there are modern cameras and so many Tumblr users who claim to p shift and some on command or partially, but we have zero videos or picture

I want to believe so so bad but I don't understand

I get the privacy thing but you're telling me not a single soul has wanted to share even a little bit

Well dear anon, have you ever considered that perhaps the proof is sent but nobody believes them?

Happened a lot in the past. Not to mention cgi, ai, and photoshop is so good people wouldnt put it past them to claim the aforementioned upon seeing such proof. People who are able to take photos, get the proof, and send it online are more likely to be *less* believed then **more** believed. Especially publicly with strangers on a large platform.

Furthermore, to say theres a lot of pressure and nervousness about trying to record yourself. You may not see any results at all because of the pressure. We for sure would never be able to capture ourselves p-shifting on camera, its just too stressful for us. P-shifting is really private, and is more for the shifter than the internet; we as a community arent a sensation to go viral. (respectfully dear anon we do not mean it in a harsh or rude tone :blobby:)

We know its hard to believe but proof online just doesnt exist. We mean like, it does, thats true people have shared it. Its the simple answer to give to say it doesnt exist. It just circulates in private spaces with friends and maybe even family, within old cyberpacks and in strange places people hide in the back corners of the internet. We assure you it does exist online, but its a different story between it being easily found, and more privately given.

And, many p-shifters dont need proof after all, we experience and live it and lots have concluded that if they dont fully p-shift then thats okay. Being a shifter is more than the physical transformation that is well sought out and requested for. Oh, the thrill of escapism in so many different ways and forms.

We hope this was informative and helped answer your question anon. Have a good day and feel free to ask more questions <3

a lot of real proof from trustworthy shifters exist out there, but they have NEVER been taken seriously. over the years countless photos and videos from werewolves, mermaids, even dragons have gone microviral across shifter and doubter communities and the answers from the doubters is always the same, and has been since 1999, "you have a skin condition" "nice costume bro" "cool photoshop lol" and blanket statements of "this is fake". Meanwhile the shifters who've shared those photos, some photos date all the way back to 1999, and those shifters are STILL HERE, still pshifting, and STILL CLAIM it is real. Who in the actual fuck trolls or lies about smth on an anonymous platform(the internet) for almost 30 years, when it would be 1000x easier to post faked proof and just run away.

If we also look at the largest "scandal" of proof - Kissingmidnight, a mermaid shifter from 2008-2011. It came out in 2016 that she had openly admitted to photoshopping the full tail photo everyone is likely familiar with. However to this VERY DAY she insists that the scale photos she posted are real. You could say she is just lying about the scale photos, but like. why. Her credibility is already gone when she admitted she lied abt the full tail photo. She isn't even active in shifter communities anymore. What clout is there to gain. There is no logical reason to still lie.

This kind of behaviour, the constant cycle of doubt from people, people going insane and trying to debunk everything, why the fuck WOULD anyone post proof when they know every single hair on their body will get analyzed by psychos who want to call them out as fake or label their very real shifts as photoshop / cgi / ai / etc.

For when the magic dies -

For a long time I've noticed that, for some, including myself, depression and outside factors can hamper and dent will and belief towards nonhumanity. Maybe you have days where your identity is challenged and you cannot respond. Maybe you have days where all of your will to shift or grow wings is dead in the dirt, and you're too exhausted to continue.

While I personally haven't struggled with doubt in years, good gods do i have a litany of days where continuing pursuing wings and/or the perm shifts i desire feel like hinderances and major roadblocks that would essentially bankrupt me.

A blanket note - nonhumanity should always be fun; that sentiment has never sat right with me. nonhumanity is a core thing, those who try to run from it always come back. While yes, you should not be obsessive and forceful with it, it should not control your every waking hour; "fun" may not be on your board of emotions that you experience around nonhumanity every single day.

So, what to do when you find yourself feeling alien like the heron below?

If there's anything working around a lot of people has helped me with - step one, Identify.

Identify the small things. maybe you hold your arms like wings while neutral. Maybe you move your ears like they're shifted when they're not. Subtlety is the king of deeply ingrained M-shifts and instincts, and a lot of times these actions are so universal to us that we do not notice them until prompted. Even subtle reassurance of these will fuel their sparks.

Step two - A Leap.

A leap in this case is a bit more forceful. Maybe your day has hampered belief. Something that's been helpful to me if I feel stuck or without path is to just trigger the very start of a shift. I do not let it go far, but enough to feel the numbness set in. Why does this help? It reminds you that your body is capable, you are in control here, and your nonhumanity has not wavered.

Step three - community.

As a final fallback, if all else fails, i go to my shifter friends and talk. Maybe about nonhumanity, maybe about pokemon, or life, or anything. Community is key, like a flock of birds or a school of fish, our friends uplift us when we're feeling down and give us further knowledge. Maybe your friend has been in the same, and gives you advice I haven't listed that works 10x better for you. Or maybe just being near others in the same boat kicks up the flock effect for you.

Just always remember - your claws, paws, wings, and more are a part of you, not separate. No matter how life may dampen your emotions or throw you around, it is impossible to separate you and yourself.

To anyone who follows me, I don't care about nor trust Colossal Biosciences anymore (The people behind the "Wooly Mice"). They have proven themselves to be headline-chasing grifters after this latest stunt. They are claiming to have de-extincted *Aenocyon dirus*, aka the Dire Wolf, by editing just 20 genes from the the DNA of a Grey Wolf (*Canis lupus*) to make this thing:

If it wasn't clear from their scientific names, Grey Wolves and Dire Wolves aren't remotely related to one another aside from being Canids, despite what pop culture like Game of Thrones would have you believe. If they did look like each other, it would have had to be via convergent evolution, as they only shared a common ancestor over 5 million years ago.

This distinction, however, isn't found in the publicized articles about this so-called resurrected Dire Wolf and makes their claim that they brought the Dire Wolf back by simply editing *20* genes from the genome of a Grey Wolf laughable. A Dire Wolf would have shared more in common genetically with a Maned Wolf (*Chrysocyon brachyurus*) or Bush Dog (*Speothos venaticus*) than it would with a Grey Wolf.

Bottom line, don't fall for whatever this company is trying to tell you. If the Dire Wolf were to be brought back, it wouldn't be via something like this, and certainly wouldn't *look* like this. If you want an idea as to how a real Dire Wolf would look like in life, here is some fantastic paleoart by artist Mauricio Antón:

Addendum: I seem to have partially miscalculated Dire Wolf genetics. They were not closer to Maned Wolves or Bush Dogs, but they were still not closely related to Grey Wolves. They were basal members of Canini, related to canids like Jackals (genus Lupulella) but distinct from them. I am sorry for this misinformation in my attempt to correct other misinformation. My main point, however, is still correct.

Yeah, I saw this and my immediate thought was "these people don't know what they're doing". My second thought was, "these people know what they're doing is a scam". Either way, I've always been very suspicious of Colossal's, well, colossal claims, and now it's clear they're full of shit

Pokemon Crochet Pattern Masterlist

Never thought I'd finish this but I finally tracked down a crochet pattern for EVERY Pokemon*. Gonna say that 85% of them are in English but there's a few I could only find in other languages (should still be understandable for the most part), ~30% of them also have videos, a majority have images but a handful are text only... Give me another day and I'll put together another post with more stats lol

You can find the list in this spreadsheet, with links to at least one pattern for every Pokemon, videos if applicable, names/websites of their designers.

*Up to date as of 4/1/2025 with at least one entry for each Pokemon, but not every single alternate/variant
