AMBITHERIANTHROPY: to identify both as many specific species within an animal, but not all, as well as identifying as the general/overall animal itself

EXAMPLE: a snake ambitherian may be a burmese python, a king cobra and a cornsnake therian. they may not identify with any other specific species like a viper or rattlesnake, but they do identify generally as a snake and see themselves in all species of snakes alongside their specific species therianthropes

COINAGE: the term exists somewhere between quitherianthropy, cladotherianthropy and therianthropy, as I felt that these terms didn’t fully describe my experience. ‘ambi’ derives from the latin meaning ‘both’. the definition is somewhat loose and subjective, feel free to use as you please and tweak slightly if you find comfort in the term. if the definition seems contradictory to some, that’s because it may be- this is the best explanation of my experience and I hope others may find it useful too

🧼 ——— COINED BY ME

So... bird feather patterned hair, am I right fellow avians?

— Quitherianthropy

From the latin words quidam, aliqua, and quis, collectively meaning ‘some,’ especially aliqua; ‘some, by some way or other’

— Definition of Quitherianthropy

“ Quitherianthropy is a subcategory of therianthropy in which a therian does not identify as a distinct species, nor holds a broader identity encompassing an entire genus or family (cladotherianthropy). They are somewhere in between, identifying as all or most species of a specific animal. ”

— Examples of Therianthropy, Cladotherianthropy, and Quitherianthropy

“ Instead of just a single species, e.g. an arctic wolf therian, or an entire genus/family, a canis or canidae cladotherian, a wolf quitherian identifies as all or most species of wolf; gray wolf, red wolf, coastal wolf, arctic wolf, etc., all at once. When it comes down to appearance, the quitherian may believe they are all possible coats of each species, or have a specific colored coat from each species. ”

— Where did it come from?

The term was created by strayhounds (me!) on Tumblr (it/its) after it felt its experiences did not align with normal therianthropy, nor the classic definition of cladotherianthropy. Wanting to create a label that described its experiences in more detail, it coined quitherianthropy in April of 2023.

crazy how a term i invented for myself that ended up not applying to me ended up becoming something other people use. i never thought it would gain any traction or really be used by anyone but myself, and i thought when i stopped using it it would just go to die — but no. like that’s. wow (in a good way).

so my third bird type might actually just be a prehistoric bird/dino which feels right.

The other two are burrowing owl and parrot :)

Never underestimate the power of just knowing. It's an important part of any authentic experience. And I don't mean not researching, but going down pathways that might not be what you originally expected because something in you says yes. Accepting kintypes that might not perfectly match because looking at them is just different. Even our psychological types have a certain ring to them, it's not necessarily anything spiritual.

Polytherian rep. Bird quitherian rep.

This would be more of a paleotype than anything connected to holothery, which to me is just "bird".

need to jot this done Somewhere, but like.

i'm having such a hard time figuring out if wolverines (possibly badgers too) are a paratype, or within the circle of my quitherianthropy, or -hearted feelings. or maybe a separate theriotype all together.

like, word visual here.

a number of marten subspecies are within the "circle" that is my fisher marten identity, along with fishers & other weasel-y mustelids (like stoats). fishers & martens are at the dead center, whereas stoats and weasels are more spread out within the circle.

i don't Think i identify as a Furret (the pokemon), but it's a good example for this so i'll use it. let's say i do identify as a Furret, but it's a paratype of my fisher marten-ness. it would be represented by a line branching off of the initial circle.

a heart-type would be it's own separate shape.

with wolverines...... every image or piece of art i've seen of them... something in me, like... catches. i have to stop and look at whatever this feeling is, but i can't make it out exactly. it's just this quietly overwhelming sense of "that's me, that's me."

without a doubt, it is an aspect of me. but i don't know how it's me, and that's bothering me for reasons i haven't been able to grasp aside from one thing: "wolverine" doesn't feel quite right. the shape and colors are dead on, but the name doesn't click like "fisher marten" does. or maybe it actually does, and it's just a different type of click?

and i don't know if that's due to this aspect being a thing because of my fisher marten-ness or not, and like. i haven't been able to break through this murky layer of uncertainty of it.

i'm not sure what i want to achieve with this post, other than getting those thoughts down lol
