A small glimpse into the hoard I curated while I was a dragon. I have more areas like this around my room, just accumulations of things like this. I still have some minor hoarding tendencies, I grab beanie babies I like and have a small collection of typewriters, but my compulsive (jokingly) collection has very much faded away over the years.
It started up in maybe kindergarten, when I was maybe 5-6. That's also when my obsession with dragons started. By the time I was 13-14, I was the dragon kid. I still enjoy drawing them and do prefer them when it comes to mythical creatures, but it doesn't rattle in my marrow anymore. I stopped fully being a dragon around the age of 17, maybe? It was a very slow change, I didn't notice it. I woke up one day and I was.... gillman...! Looking back it was very clear what was happening, but it was hard to identify in the moment.
IDK, I came home from college yesterday and it's always a trip looking at my childhood room. Lots of strange memories.
🌕 Definition : A term for having had a theriotype that one no longer identifies as, but still hold a kinship with. The theriotype may have faded in entirety, or morphed into another form of alterhumanity, for example a hearttype.
🌑Can be considered a subterm of anteatype(Link)
💫 Coined because of this(link) post by @mopni905
🦴 The term forrn/förrn can be used as a suffix for other alterhuman labels as well! For example: linkforrn , kinforrn or heartforrn. Coinings and symbols for these will be created in the near future by me.
🪲 Etymology:
Therio - Denoting therianthropy
Forr - From a Swedish word for past, "förr"
Forn is also similar to "fond", as in "fondly", because the identity is still important to one's self.
🦗 Conjugation:
Therioforrn - n. . identity and individual with identity
Therioforrntype - n. identity subject
Therioforrnity - n. experience of identity
🍂 Flag colour meaning:
Green - The previous therian experiences, and how one's prior therianthropic experiences are still present. Additionally that shifting past a theriotype does not make the past experience invalid, nor makes it "not therianthropy".
Purple - The ways a therioforrntype can still affect one's alterhumanity
Blue - The way the attachment to the animal is still felt, whether it has manifested as another alterhuman experience or not.
🍁 Symbol meaning: Hexagon inspired by @brainkeeper-service's kardiatype symbol(Link) as kardiatypes and anteatypes are related. The altered theta-delta within the hexagon reflects the previous therianthropic identity. Instead of the line in the middle of the circle however, there is the star which represents self discovery and the fluidity of identity.
The symbol can be simplified to not include the alt arrows and heart. :>
