🌜It's Odyssey🌛

therifluid and plural

[therioddonesout]

Welcome to my realm🌲☀️

☆ You can call me Odyssey, Thistle, Clover, or Gwyn, I use He/ Fae pronouns mainly, and It/ Its pronouns on occasion. We are bodily 25, indiginous amongst many other things, transmasc, and homoflexible. 𓆏

☆ I am a plural, transspecies being, I'm the host (more system info can be found @thefruitsaladbats ), we are collectively nonhuman, and this is a blog about our therian experiences! 𓆝 𓆟 𓆞𓆝 𓆟 𓆞

☆ My theriotypes have a really wide range, just like my system, which makes us collectively therifluid, so I'm not really making this all about a specific clade or anything, just kinda whatever we're feeling collectively as a system! All of us have human and inhuman forms in the headspace, and a lot of us either shift around or combine the features of our theriotypes into one form so there will also be posts about that! It's just like a truesona, which I may have to design for each alter... but that'll take forever since there's over 10 of us lol

☆ We also pet regress, do pet play, and are a furry, but it's because we are collectively nonhuman that we do this. I won't be posting about/ getting into the pet play specifically on this blog, but I may reference it or even mention it. Overall, the topics on this blog are pretty safe for teens and up! I will say, though: I'm only comfortable making friends with anyone 20+, so teens and up can interact, but I'm only really interested in talking to adults around my age. Buuuuut I'm VERY happy to give any advice you'd like if requested through an ask!

☆ This is the DNI/ BYF section of the intro, so if you're curious about my beliefs and values: read on! Also, I follow my own DNI (as should you tbh), and I block as I see fit. It's nothing personal, just simple incompatibility here.

I do not support radqueers, terfs/ swerfs, transmeds, radfems, sexism, misogyny, androphobia, or any form of discrimination against queerness! I also support good faith trans identities! I do believe in transmisogyny as well as transandrophobia as well as other descriptive terms of queerphobia. I've experienced most forms of discrimination for being queer, and my experiences (as well as the experiences of others) cannot and will not be erased. I do not believe in TMA/ TME for this reason, and I'm cautious when using AFAB or AMAB language as it excludes and diminishes the experiences of intersex people and acts as if transmisogyny is exclusive to the treatment of trans women, transandrophobia is exclusive to the treatment of trans men, and so on. Let us all have our own words to describe discrimination against us and use/ create more inclusive terms, and stop policing language!

I do not support pro contact for harmful paras, but I don't believe paraphiles are inherently predatory or dangerous, do no harm and you have my instant respect and support.

I do not support transrace people, nor do I support racism (so fuck the police/ military, ICE, war, bigots, and fascists), transabled people (which includes willogenics), any form of ableism, sysplex, tulpas (that aren't of their culture of origin), or endo types of polymind. I am also very endo critical. The future is NOT plural, but it should be made more accessible to plural people/ systems. I don't want to invalidate anyone's experiences because... they've experienced it, but I do not support claims that a dissociative disorder (which comes from trauma) does not involve trauma or dissociation because that invalidates me and my experiences (which are not the only valid experiences).

I also don't support the use of AI in any way, shape, or form. This is not a political statement AT ALL, this is about community care and saving the planet so we don't cause a mass extinction event while stepping on writers and artists and destroying their careers by stealing their work. I also hate the forced dependency and the way it seems to be dumbing us down as a society. It's dangerous for us all! Everyone should be wary of it.

Do no harm, take no shit. Also: a kind reminder that freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences. Do something fucked up? Expect the same energy back AND people being upset with you. You are not exempt, and you are extremely entitled if you think otherwise.

Also: a HUGE thank you to the talented @/coyotesinew / @/coyotebrained for letting me use their artwork in my intro to explain the below just for an explanation to give to those confused by the terms used in my About Me section!

I always thought it was super interesting that some of my theriotypes I KNOW are me based entirely on looks and vibes, like I could recognize myself so deeply as if the image were a mirror or picture of myself being held up to me. Like... I don't need a long, soul-searching journey to recognize that I'm a draft horse and a jersey cow (amongst other things), that's literally just how I look! While others have to be painstakingly researched and discovered, these ones are obvious to me.

Ugh sorry I started a bunch of side blogs at like... the worst time ever, the grieving is still there but far less intrusive/ thought consuming than it used to be, so I'm going to attempt getting back to posting on them again. Sorry to those who followed me because they were interested only for me to end up not posting for weeks, it truly couldn't be helped in any way. Baba means a lot to me. I even had commissioned her as an Animal Crossing character in my early teens (I forget who the artist was because it was like... 13 or so years ago, but still! It may have been a popular reptile artist though if I'm remembering it right, and it was really affordable, like... $8 or so, if you are the artist and you recognize your art PLEASE tell me, I'd love to credit you and commission you again!!)

I’m super curious to see what specific sorts of equines roam the wilds of tumblr.. If you happen to be an equine of a specific kind, please reblog and tag your breed/species!

I like to be nosy.

There's this lapse in therian, transspecies, and other animal(-istic) oriented spaces (even in the furry community where it's largely roleplay and rarely anyone identifies with or as a nonhuman) where one will "stay in their species" and refuse to venture outside of it.

Nonhumanity, beasthood, whatever term fits best for you as the reader, hinges on the idea that biology doesn't determine species, that species is a construct to justify one's separation and abuse from the Earth and all that inhabits it, that it and other classifications are fluid in that sense and can get ever more so. It's based in the idea that parts of an identity can "contradict" each other.

So why is it that these communities will often 'pick' one species and limit themselves to it? Why is it that every other post there's someone confused over phantom/physical wing shifts when their species doesn't have it? Why is it that non-amphibians geek out over how cool it would be to have gills, only to frame it as 'silly' because their -type doesn't posses them?

You can be physically a wolf and mentally a beetle. You can be a biological shark with a dove's wings. You can be a robot with organic fins. The fursona you use doesn't have to be 'realistic' 'unique' 'aesthetically pleasing' or 'symbolic', it can be anything you like. The gear that gives you euphoria doesn't have to be of your species. You can work towards gaining gills as an otter because you'd find them useful.

Mixing and matching your physical, mental, and spiritual components is okay. Redefine how you view species. Redefine how you view yourself as inhuman.

we are slowly but surely working towards normalizing ears and tails in public with kemonomimis and whatnot. when will we be normalizing wearing gigantic wings on our back ?

[ID: digitally drawn comic. first image shows a black rabbit and a black rabbit foot keychain surrounded by sparkles. the caption reads: "i'm learning to be wanted again // and not just for the parts of me they want to keep".

second image shows a black and a white rabbit touching their noses, with a red heart above them, next to what seems to be a silver fox, a small dog, a rabbit and a scorpion, all black. the caption reads: "but all of me // every facet of me".

third image shows a black rabbit crying with a broken red heart close to it's head, next to a white, a brown and a black rabbit surrounded by red hearts. the caption reads: "growing up being told you're unlovable & worthless is an indescribable pain // but i don't want to believe that anymore".

end ID.]

(All versions below cut, feel free to add different backgrounds using the transparents)

I decided I’d add the pride versions now, since June is coming up, and especially in today’s political climate, I think openly supporting and being queer is important year round.

Also, if you weren’t included in this drop, feel free to claim one of the little birds, and tell me if you want to be in the next one!

And ofc check out all the amazing birds who were included, and give them some snacks for participating! (Sorry for tagging yall, ik it’s annoying, but you deserve to see it)

HEY!! HEY YOU! The bird reading this! We are a flock, and I want to draw us. Kind of like this post (linked bellow) from the cetaceans of tumblr.

So, my flock. Submit your reference sheets or photos of theriform birds and I’ll draw us as a large flock!

So reblog, comment, or dm me your references and I’ll add you asap!

(If you’re submitting photos of a theriform bird please include an image of them flying and another image that shows your coloration)

Fly free

Live fast

Love hard

Tumblr is a place to express yourself, discover yourself, and bond over the stuff you love. It's where your interests connect you with your

So... I would love to submit one because that would be awesome, but as a system I have several bird theriotypes... it was a REALLY hard choice for me to choose who gets represented here, but I think we all (the system) are in agreement that a bearded vulture is pretty good rep for us all, so here's some references!
