Tales From the Cryptid @talesfromthe-cryptid - Tumblr Blog

I'm not a therian but pls reblog or something if youre an adult therian. I need to find more nonhuman blogs, a lot of people on here who identify as animals are children.

Okay so here’s what I’m doing and why:

Hi, most of you online know me as Coyote, we’ll leave it at that for now. I’m a 26-year-old UK-based therian. Recently it occurred to me that there is very little actual research into the therian community, and as a result we don’t really have data to back up our experiences.

There are a lot of misconceptions about therianthropy; for example, that it’s mostly children or just a phase. Those of us in the community know that isn’t accurate, but right now it’s difficult to demonstrate that in a way that people outside the community will take seriously.

So I’ve started a research project to try and change that.

The aim of this study is to gather anonymous data about therian identity; things like age, how long people have identified this way, and the kinds of experiences people have. In order to identify patterns within the community.

This is not about proving or disproving anything, and it’s not about making anyone look ridiculous. It’s about documenting our experiences in a way that is respectful and actually useful.

If you’re a therian (or questioning / feel you relate), I’d really appreciate you taking part:

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to ask.

This survey is part of an independent research project aiming to provide a better understanding of therian identity from the perspective of

Otherkin culture is having a "literally me" character that is just straight up a creature

I try to pretend that this body is a disguise to trick humans into thinking I'm also a human, but like, I'm also really bad at acting human

Just once I'd like to exit the woods and for someone to see me and scream "JESUS CHRIST WHAT THE HELL IS THAT THING?!" as they visibly weigh whether they should run. Is that so much to ask?

I think people underestimate how much I want them to use it/it's for me. Like talk about me like a scary cryptid you found in your backyard. Or a weird bug in your shower. Or a strange fossil of a species you just discovered.

Shoutout to my fellow eldritch, inperceivable, or otherworldly kin who are creatures without existing lore. Shit's hard when you lack any established basis to convey what you are and find similar creatures to share experiences with.
