Part personal blog, part therianthropy journal. Expect to see art, wildlife, natural sciences, some memes, some fandom content, and more. Check under the cut for more info!

Feel free to shoot me an ask any time :) I love to chit-chat!

For some lore:

I realized I was a therian about 15 years ago when I stumbled across a wiki article for therianthropy over a decade ago. It put a name to thoughts and feelings I had had for as long as I could remember.

I've explored various possible theriotypes over the years--including mule deer, lion, and wolverine--but nowadays, I best understand myself as a mountain gorilla (primarily) and a red-tailed hawk (secondarily). Understanding myself and my experiences is a never-ending journey!

In my "human life", I'm a park ranger with a background in wildlife ecology. I'm also neurodivergent and a trans man. I do find my trans-ness and neurodiversity plays a part in my therianthropy, and you may see me ramble here and there about how those three things intersect in my own life.

toe-walking has really fucked up me feet?

nuh uh, i just have bumblefoot

feet are made for perching, not walking

[mindscapr]

Random things that I don’t like as a bird god of space in the human world

Ungodly perception

Drinking out of soda cans (phases through my beak)

Walking through large crowds

Looking at high up things that would be lovely to perch on, reminding me of my grounded nature

Not being able to hold things very well with my feet

Dyslexia

Being short

Remembering I have to make facial expressions and not stare down everyone like the falcon I am

Regular seats, because they crumple my tail feathers

Short, unsharp and weak fingernails (I will be trying biotin, hoping to improve on the weak side of things)

Light pollution

Cold, unfeathered arms and legs

There is more, but this is all that comes to mind at the moment.

[permanenteclipse]

Any other nonhumans of smaller predator species like hawks, cats, etc., species that hunt constantly throughout the day because their prey is less substantial, feel like they instinctively prefer to eat smaller snacks throughout the day instead of 3 large meals? In the wild I'd be hunting for most of the day and catching much smaller animals than myself, as opposed to a predator like a wolf or crocodile that takes down a larger animal and is sustained by one hunt for much longer. So my natural inclination is to grab a decent snack every other hour or so, and I'm very very bad at grocery shopping because I'm not thinking about "meals," I'm shopping hour-by-hour for like sausages and bagels and singular fruits and stuff
