#kin types

[physicfox12]

There needs to be more unconventional pet regression types... where are the Ferrets? Raccoons? Birds? Dinosaurs??

I understand the appeal of the big three, dogs/pup's, cats/kittens and bunnies but I really wanna see more unique regression types 😔

Might also be speaking as an alterhuman who regresses again but that's so niche all I can say is pet regression cuz they're the same to me (in my experience, not from the outside)

Just a gentle reminder that therian and otherkin are technically two different things. I see them being used interchangeably, and while that is mostly okay, there are some instances where they shouldn't be.

Therian means you identify/spiritually connect with an animal or creature of this world. Anything that lives or that has lived on this planet can be a theriotype. Dinosaur therian, yep. Insect therian, you bet. And of course your standard mammals, birds, and reptiles as well: wolf, horse, fox, bear, crow, lizard, whale, snake, hawk etc.

However, things that are not creatures or that have not lived or can't be proven that they existed on this planet can not by theriotypes. For example, a dragon therian is not a thing. Believe what you want but science has yet to actually prove dragons existed on our planet. You would however be dragon kin! Same goes for angels, demons, ghosts, mermaids, harpies, and other mythical creatures and beings not of this world. These are all kin types, not theriotypes.

Now on the opposite side, otherkin is all inclusive. Just about anything and everything can be a kin type, including theriotypes. That's where the interchangeability comes from. You can choose to use the term even if it is a theriotype. It's just personal preference.

Using myself as an example, I could call myself wolfkin if I so pleased. And when I was speculating if I was also mermaidkin, I did use the term kin instead of therian, only because to me it was easier to say "I'm wolfkin and mermaidkin" than to say "I'm a wolf therian and mermaidkin". Again it is personal preference! I later found out I'm not mermaidkin, so I went back to calling myself just a wolf therian.

I hope this helps people understand the terms a bit better. If anyone has any questions, comments, or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to me.

Be well and remember your identity is valid. You being otherkin is valid. You being a therian is valid. Happy and positive vibes for all <3

tl:dr

Otherkin is all inclusive for kin types. Therian is only to be used with animals/creatures from this planet. For example You can be wolfkin or wolf therian, you can only be mermaidkin not a mermaid therian.
