Ok, this could just be me and my bird brain fixation on categorization and organization, but I want a symbol for zoanthropes* because right now the closest we have is the lycanthropy symbol and it’s just… boring
This is the current lycanthropy symbol, it’s an upside down letter y with a triangle in the middle. I cannot find a reason as to why this is the symbol, it just simply is. Same thing for the lycanthropy flag, I guess I can understand the color choices and paw, but like, it’s just not interesting.
This symbol and flag only cover lycanthropes, those of us who are canine, and I’ve only met a few true lycanthropes, the rest of us are zoanthropes, being that we are non canines. Yes I am looking very directly at all the cetaceans, with love of course.
Anyways, I’ll show yall what I’m thinking could be the new symbol for the wider zoanthrope community.
It’s currently a very rough idea, but the premise is the circle represents community, the two lines represent equally amongst us despite our differences, the feather symbolizes avians, the paw is for mammals, and the wave is for all aquatic/semi aquatic creatures. I am open to suggestions of things to add or new meanings. And if you know of a better symbol for zoanthropes please tell me about it!
Also yes I’ve finally accepted it’s spelled zoanthrope with one “O” and not two, but I’m not changing the tags I use because I don’t like change. Also zooanthrope is more phonetic, but zoanthrope is the more common word so I shall attempt to correct myself in the future.
