Late Christmas Present: The Shifter Timeline!
Hey, how was your holidays? Hopefully it's been good. I've been away from here for a while, and that's because I've been working on a Shifter's Timeline!
It covers the online history of the shifter community, from the past to around 2018. I would have gone further but the events from this decade will take a few more months of work at best. Citations should be properly formatted and up-to-date, but Wix started giving me trouble so I apologize if anything looks wonky. If you have sources feel free to add them on by the way, I always appreciate more info!
Have you ever wondered where AWTOK came from? Who Blaze was? Where all the different shifter groups coalesced? Why everything died out? You'll find the answers in here.
Good shit! Love people compiling information together, and you did so well in a way that isn't dependent on a social media account staying up. I saved this on the internet archive, just in case the wix site itself fails in the future. The screenshots are a fun and tactile way to engage with the overview, and help give an unnarrated look into the periods pictured. Love the citations, those things are fun to trawl through, and help give your words more substance. The modern day is weirdly less documented, but it makes sense why. I don't even know how to begin citing discord servers, let alone making sure that the information contained in the citations doesn't give out too much. I get it's a history article, but archiving the current situation may be helpful to those in the future. Also: How have I NOT come across Shifter's Eden sooner? This site is awesome! Good shit Harloqui, consider me on call for any articles you wish to make.
hi! i recommend joining the first family pack! it should be on disboard. we're not the most active these days, but we're pretty chill and would love to have you!
While I wish for a pack, I have a big fear of joining non-humans group. I have a huge fear that people will not believe what I am. I don't want people to point and say that what I am can't be.
(Reposting this here since the First Family Pack has been going after pshifters, be safe.)
Just greeting you, OP, Hi ^^
I'm not from the first family pack, nor does this convention actively support or allow entry to those who are participating in their pack. We have strict rules on the dangers of cults and how to steer away from them; Harloqui is a good source in their #safety tag
The First Family Pack is an infamous pack in pshifter circles that was once led by Silver. She lied primarily about her lycan species, and manipulated a lot of people who are still in the pack to this day while spreading a lot of misinformation about pshifting online. They started out in 2016-2017, and can be defined as a cult by the way they demand high value attention to the pack (even if online), cults have an unquestionable leader "alpha" and their directing "betas", they create a YOU vs THEM mentality, and spread blatant misinformation in and out of the community. One of the mods here was in the waiting room for the pack, and was rejected upon finding out that their alpha; Aquamarine, has a real distrust in those who are plural/multiple or non-disordered versions of such. This is discrimination based on a factor that didn't matter or was never questioned when applying for the survey, so I would say DID, OSDD, plural etc people should watch out for the pack.
Rules found on different subblogs on tumblr explain that disrespect will result in a punishment "supervised" by the Alphas, and that death penalties exist for harming children. These rules obviously do not follow to them today, but the overlooked threats of being in a group as young teens pulled in multiple packs with strangers rather than real friends and family. That is the danger.
The pack demands that you believe genetically that you are physically nonhuman, and will not take any other belief seriously. In their history of the pack, they have held beliefs that genes can skip generations (why this is not true) , Silver and many of them claim that they used to blood bond, which is drawing blood to mix with anothers. They claim that shifting works through a hormone, but hormonal imbalance can and will kill you, this claim can get younger shifters in trouble if they don't know what they're doing.
Silver uses "modern lycan" now as a descriptor, but she once went by Jãger. This is species from a fictional book, and while fictional shifters are not bad (dragons etc), she led many to believe that they were REAL. Jãger is a mistranslation of jägermeister, which means "one who hunts". She claimed it meant "Earthwalker". This species and many more were taken from Daryla Gray's book Fighting For My Mate, the fourth book in the Jager Alpha series. The book was published on October 12th 2015, a year before Silver made the pack.
There is proof that a lot of the names of species are taken from indigenous folklore and other cultural spaces. Unfortunately a lot of what Silver did wasn't just "using folklore names," it was rewriting their history and spreading the idea that persons of any culture can be the species from another culture when they have no real knowledge. It's appropriation at worst, and weird at best.
Silver had believed in some doomsday hunters that were coming to get the pack, and led a fearmongering campaign that basically led into a bunch of shifters running with their heads off spreading posts about hunters, which again... weren't real.
Overall, their history as a pack has been so muddled in fantasy that a lot of it refuses to be anything other and the people following in their steps rarely have success. The people that one of the mods had talked to in the waiting room barely knew how to shift, but as they waited they could see the univeral "you must be genetically this way" to join and it twisted their head. Here's a post from Palevulture to sum up why generalizing and popularizing one belief through the form of a widespread cult pack is absolutely dangerous, and the harm done by TFFP is a lot more than just the mistakes of one alpha; link here.
Pshifters are not inherently a bad group of people. Alterhumans like otherkin have had worse cults and groups of people in them to this day, but certain people who hold too much power and lend that power to others seem to always find their way into our communities unfortunately. There are some good packs out there for shifters and physical nonhumans, but a pack is a very.. personal thing. it isn't something you join. TFFP isn't a pack, it's a culty group of individuals with backgrounds defending Silver tooth and nail through all of their misdeeds. 2016 wasn't that long ago, do not forget.
Hi! I wanted to correct some of the information here. First off, 2016 was a long time ago. Silver is currently 23 as far as I'm aware, so she would've been 15 then. People change A LOT over that time. Also, most of the current pack members joined when the pack was relaunched in 2021, so we haven't encountered any of the things mentioned in this post at all. Silver is also no longer in the pack and hasn't been for a couple years.
We don't demand 'high value attention' of any members. We used to have weekly activity checks and (optional) pack meetings, but we haven't done that in a while. Having roles like 'alpha' and 'beta' isn't a sign of a cult. Those are just the staff roles in the discord server. We also don't punish members, and I haven't seen those rules involving killing people ever mentioned in my time in the pack. The most that'll happen is being banned from the server, or if someone is committing a crime like abusing children then that would be reported to the proper authorities.
We have both traumagenic and endogenic systems in the pack. Personally, I'm a traumagenic system. Some of our members who are traumagenic used to not understand what an endogenic system meant and thought that those people were pretending to have DID, but we've had many discussions on that topic in the server by now, and now they understand. I apologize to anyone who didn't feel welcome because of this issue, but it's now been addressed.
There isn't anyone in the server who identifies as a 'Jãger' anymore, and I haven't seen any appropriation of indigenous terms either, but if you have any recent examples of that happening, let me know, and I'll make sure it gets addressed. We also haven't been focused on hunters in quite a while. We also don't 'blood bond' or encourage people to mess with their hormones.
We do believe that shifters are born that way. The reason for this is because we've encountered a lot of people who claimed to be turning into different species via subliminal audios, and that experience isn't much like ours at all. We don't want to spread hatred and drama, but we have a focus for the pack which is being born nonhuman. We don't all share all of the same opinions though. Some of us believe shifting is purely genetic, and some believe that spirituality can impact it as well. We're open to having those discussions. The only hard line is the subliminal stuff, and the pack not being for people who choose their forms.
Yes, some of us haven't shifted yet. The pack is open for questioning nonhumans. Finally, I don't see anything wrong with having a pack that's open for people to join. We have a vetting period to ensure we're comfortable with new members, but we do want people to be able to join us.
I would appreciate it if people could understand that the pack was created by young teenagers, and these days it's very different from how it had been in 2016. And again, I apologize for any systems that had felt unwelcome recently, but that problem has definitely been taken note of and addressed.
Hey, I don't speak for all of the staff for this convention but we agree on one thing.
No cults.
That includes The First Family Pack specifically because of the behavior they refuse to disavow that behavior and refuse to disengage with Silver even to this day. So, to me personally, I do not and will not allow entry to those in that pack for that specific reason. I am sorry if that seems hurtful to some, or if a pack is that important to you.
Most of the information I got from TFFP is publicly tied to them and their affiliates across multiple accounts. This history, even if it was 8 years ago, still ripples through our community and has harmed people in OTHER communities. So no, I personally will not sweep it under the rug until the First Family Pack is no longer a pack, and chooses to no longer associate with Silver and her ideals (ideals that are as recent as last year.)
You account was made for the specific purpose of recruitment, please do not involve yourself in a community which wards itself away from you.
Do you have any proof that the pack has changed from its inception? Obviously nothing incriminating (no doxing or anything like that), but maybe some messages from within the server vouching for these changes, outside members who agree that the pack has grown past its original views, etc. Things like that.
I'd personally be willing to accept and understand that the pack has grown and changed if I could see proof of this. I'm open to the pack changing, and though this wouldn't repair your relations with the rest of the community, it would be a start.
You are giving off several red flags though, and that's what makes me wary of your claims. If this is you, and I suspect it is, you've been very vague about there being "rumors", instead of being honest about the pack's controversial history. You're also straying close to the clinical lycanthropes - while I dont think it's a crime to associate with clinical lycanthropes, the fact that your pack has done this before (with kin instead of clinical lycanthropes) makes me think you have ulterior motives.
I'm skeptical, but open to being proven wrong.
Honestly, it's 2025, it has been almost a decade. I'm coming across this now. Most of our members haven't spoken to Silver in years, nor do we hold onto any set of beliefs. No one in the pack has a single solidly set idea on how shifting works, what is acceptable in shifting, etc. I'm not even sure if I've spoken to Silver once, and I've been in the DISCORD SERVER since....2022 I believe? It's a discord server, not a cult, we don't claim any idea as truth, we don't associate with Silver, I barely know her so cannot even speak to what she may have done but I'm sorry for any harm caused and I'm sure my other members would share the sentiment. A lot of our pack members are new, and joined long past the effects of Silver, as well as myself. I'm hoping not to be barred from the rest of my community because of her misdeeds, or anyone else I know. (PSA, none of her old rules still apply, we function as individuals, the use of the term alpha in our server is for discord moderator. And again, probably well over half of the pack at this point doesn't know a thing about the past controversy, and has never spoken to Silver.) Thanks for anyone listening and I hope we can put this stuff behind us or work collectively to send out ripples of positivity and community instead :-) hope this reaches whoever is active!
