I take moodboard requests themed around a kintype! Check if requests are open or closed in my description, but I don't get too many an they're usually open.

BYF:

-I am pro-xenogenders and pro-neopronouns.

-I am pro-endo.

-I am anti-transx.

-I am anti-radqueer

-I am pro transspecies as a non-rq/tranx term, as that's what it was to begin with

-I am pro-self diagnosis.

-I am pro-kink and everything, do whatever you want, but please keep it off this blog.

-I am neutral leaning pro-lesboy/turigirl but I need to do more research

-I am pro-m-spec mono identities I think. Again more research needs to be done to solidify this.

-I may be missing something on this list and will edit if needed

i swear people freak out about the tamest shit ever

"they identify as animals" thats nice, sharon

"no but they actually think they are animals" theres a war going on, sharon

"like they wear masks and run around in all fours and even bark at people" sharon the war

[no-endlings]

A sentiment I see a LOT across alterhuman+ spaces (mostly younger folks, but not always!) is folks worried about their identities fading, changing, not shifting as much, or are not putting as much energy into their identities. Folks are always asking how to “fix” themselves and how to force themself to shift more/etcetc.

I just want to put it out there and say, you aren’t broken! Identities ebb and flow and change throughout our lives and that is totally okay. this goes for any self identification, but I find it especially relevant here. If you feel yourself start to change, try and let it happen. attempting to cling onto something that you’re not in that moment is only going to make things worse. I know people who have identified for years as one species before suddenly changing halfway through their life, I know people who change identities on a regular basis, and I see almost every member of this community go through periods of connection and disconnection from their alterhumanity. It’s all completely normal and not something to be worried or ashamed about, and it doesn’t even mean that you were wrong before. I know it’d be so much easier if things stayed stagnant, but change will happen whether you want it to or not.

If you are ever concerned about the status of your identity, my dms are always open, my comments are always open. We’ll get through the changes together, okay? 🤝

ykw? huge huge gigantic shoutout to the alterhuman community for having the coolest fucking usernames

[sheppz-deactivated20260315]

might be a hot take but no, you arent progressive for saying youre "not like those therians with their gear and quads because you actually take alterhumanity seriously", youre just a gatekeeper targeting a certain part of an already fractured community out of bitterness.

its not the "kids having fun" that are hurting you, its the people who assume thats all that alterhumans can be. yeah its frustrating when every other part of the discussion is ignored, but that gives noone a right to trashtalk the "conventional" therians.

[snowystarfragments]

Was talking with some people from my classes and one of them talked about therians and how they had "good reason" to not like them...

They told a story where this kid had on a mask and a tail and was jumping on a trampoline on all fours. Which tbh sounds like fun to me. But they said the kid was being bullied for it, and also commented that they should expect that given what they were wearing (which. I mean in this world, yeah, people who wear/do "cringe" things do get bullied, but thats not really a good thing). And said the kids grandma said pretty much the same thing.

They also said the kid started barking at people. Which, you know, probably shouldn't do that, but I dont think seeing this one kid should make you dislike *all* therians.

The one thing this kid did do wrong is apparently they bit someone and got kicked out, which is fair. Dont bite people.

I have a few things I thought of while they were sharing this story.

1) they were comparing therians to furries and doing the whole "furries just like to dress up/like anthro animals! Unlike those weird therians" thing which is. Idk how to describe it. A thing.

2) they didn't even define therian correctly. Therien does not mean someone who wants to be an animals.

3) how about we just let kids be kids. Regardless of if they stick with the therian label or not, I really dont think we should be bullying kids

[snowystarfragments]

OH YEAH they also dunked on neopronouns (specifically things like fox/foxself) so uh. Yeah well see how things go after this

“My daughter turned out fine!”

sir your son is dead. he’s shambling around going grrrrrrr and whatnot

[creatureofthewoodsss]

Having theriotypes that are really connected to the cold and snow during global warming really sucks. The ice and snow are my home, and every year there’s less and less of it.

[bugpalace]

this is what happens when you put me on google docs with speciesfeels & no filter to bad poetry btw

note: 'man' is gender neutral here + this is meant to be read either side on its own or together

[theriancultureis]

Cladotherian culture is having mismatched gear :3

[mons7errr]

hate it when people pull the "therians only identify as canines and felines" card

i have seen every kind of nonhuman identity, from apes to insects to cetaceans to civets to prehistoric animals to animals that never existed on earth

literally just look somewhere that isn't tiktok and you'll find us. just because most of the ones you find follow a certain pattern doesn't mean we're faking.

we are everywhere. we always have been. we are not leaving.

[star-is-a-cat]

Sometimes thinking of what to say on a therianthropy themed blog is hard, because most of the time my therianthropy is just:

Woke up as a cat. Went to school as a cat. Ate dinner as a cat. Drew a picture as a cat. Went to gymnastics practice as a cat. Fell asleep as a cat.

[confused-gay-alien]

otherkin haters are stupid man.

"omg u still have a human body tho!1!!!1!!" stop looking in my freezer

[smol-paw]

I have to admit. I like the "therian masks".

I like it as a trend on tiktok, esspecially for younger alterhumans.

BECAUSE IT CONSEALS THEIR IDENTITY.

Way too often before the trend i would see little kids plastering their face online. Announcing their age. Basically posting their location.

I knew people who got hurt from it.

Is it annoying that people think it's a "requirement" for therianthropy? Yeah.

But at least it's serving a better purpose of safety with an added benefit of species euphoria.

[d3sertfisher]

They’re fun, for some they’re euphoric, and they serve a very good purpose.

Other than misinformation, there’s nothing negative about them.

[words-of-wolf]

Y'know, as an older therian who way predates the idea of them, I would also like to offer that they are legitimately very cool! They're so creative, and they're accessible to make, unlike a fursuit or something.

And honestly I think it's really cool to have a way for people to "dress up" as their nonhuman selves without having to make (or buy) a fursuit. Fursuits are quite an intensive piece of gear - heavy, bulky, stuffy. Not great for physical activity unless you're well accustomed to them.

Plus, well, fursuits are associated with furries - masks are a therian thing and I also think that is cool! ^^

People only hate on them because they're a tiktok trend, I think. If it had been a tumblr trend instead of a tiktok one, I bet you'd see a massively different attitude towards them here.

The misinformation has always existed. It'd exist with or without the masks. It was here on tumblr before it was on tiktok. The masks aren't the "problem" there. Maybe you could say social media as a whole is, but [shrugs] it's been a thing for so long I've just stopped caring all that much about putting an end to it.

I offer information in my sphere to people who want it. I'd correct someone who's doing harm (like being ableist), but otherwise... it's not gonna be my Sisyphus boulder, y'know?

To otherkin who use mobility aids, I imagine your kin(s) using their aids a lot like this
