My partner, pointing to a “no dogs allowed sign”: Hey look. You’re not supposed to be here.

Me, streaming tears of joy and validation:

I dunno when my alterhumanity went from being all mystical and magical, to casual and indifferent but its so funny to me.

Im probably phrasing this poorly but lemme give an example.

On the bus today, omw home from school. I randomly felt my ear-wings and back wings show up, which is an experience in the past I would’ve been overly excited about. But now, I found my first thought being “damn. how am I gotta fit my bag on now without with these in the way”.

Not exactly an exciting story, but I just find it funny that phantom shifts and critter behavior are just my norm now.

Not anything mystical. Just normal.

My post was deleted for some reason?? (rip like 800+ notes) So i’ll say it again.

Therians who mock other therians for wearing gear are stupid. You are not better than another critter for expressing yourself differently. Especially to who this is made about, an ADULT who mocked CHILDREN.

They refered to them as “tiktok animals” which still just gets under my skin.

Ugh this just ruffles my feathers so much- stop separating the community over trying to put oneself on a pedestal over other therians. There is no superior therians, there is just therians.

A book about a shapeshifter whos been in the form of an animal for all their life, who one day shape-shifts into a human and gets stuck in the form (bcuz they dont know how to turn back). So now this shapeshifter has to find a way to return to the form thats always been themself (animal form), meeting others who feel like theyre not themselves along the way. Shapeshifter MC helps these others find themselves and learns new lessons along the way, and in the end they accept that this human form is a part of themself. Of which causes them to finally be able to return to their critter form.

but its just a massive metaphor for transgenderism, therianthropy and like a couple of other stuff depending on the character

(like therianthropy for the MC, and trans other characters, maybe even have a character with OSDD or DID?)

Update : I will be writing this cuz yall seem interested ^^ Any ideas on where to post it when done?

Update 2: Gonna put it on here chapter by chapter and when I finish my intro; i’ll make a masterlist for em attached to it. Maybe with enough interest I can get it on amazon >:3

Therians who mock Therians (young or old) for wearing gear are stupid. I saw a post of an adult Therian mocking two CHILDREN (aprox 11-12) for wearing tails and masks.

The Therian community is already hated enough, for someone to think they are better than another Therian for expressing their Therianthropy differently is moronic.

They also remarked them being “tiktok” therians and “fake” for it. Seriously what the fuck. People like this bristle my fur so much, just no. No.

This goes out to all the Newly awakens. If you wear gear, you are no less or more than a Therian who doesn’t. That goes for the opposite as well. Express your identity however you wish, stay safe out there <3

I don’t understand how people fail to see the beauty in therianthropy.

A human body whos soul is one of an animal. Or whos mind is one of an animal. (or both.) Intertwined with nature. Their spirit bonded to a creature who their body fails to be. Limited by the flesh and form of an animal that is not fully themself.

A being whos calling is away from modern society and belongs to the forest, the savanna, the prairie, the valley, the skies, the mountains.

Whos instincts are mixed with different creatures, giving them both advantage and disadvantages against the world around them.

And shifts, where they can feel where their lost body parts used to be. Where they can let their mind change into the full instincts of another.

“Oh but its cringe!” “Its weird!”

No, it’s beautiful. Its mystical. It’s something that feels straight out of fantasy books.

Its odd to not embrace it because its “different”.

[puddin-dear]

Can we knock it off with the “Tiktok therians!” talk. And any other talk that separates the therian community by what platform they use.

Yes, therians on tiktok can often be fed misinformation and then spread said misinformation.

Yes, it is frustrating to see that. I understand.

But when we talk about this part of the community like some foreign group, and not just other therians, it feels like we’re separating the community even more.

Mocking a part of the therian community for being put in a place where misinformation is rampant doesn’t solve the issue. It just makes them less willing to listen to us, less open to correction.

This is your daily reminder to live your critter life however you want to.

Wanna go to the store wearing a tail? Do it! I’ve done it myself. The most you’ll get is the OCCASIONAL weird look and/or giggle.

Wanna do quadrobics at your local park? Go for it! Its super fun! You may even meet some other Alterhumans.

Hell do some vocals in public! You might get a compliment or two.

At the end of the day, you’re only going to live this exact life once, its better you spend it being as weird, yet happy, as you wanna, rather than being all sad over trying to fit in.

Anyways I hope every critter who reads this has the most amazing day ya could possibly have <3

mwa! 💚
