Den of Theif

A post apocolyptic plural werebear xenofiction

pt 1

Something is rotting.

A lot of something.

Weve been following the scent for a few miles, knowingly getting closer to a human city. At this point we are only about half a mile away.

Weve smelled garbage. This was more than that.

Our large black paws flatten weeds and leaves with each step but my anxiety deafens the noise.

Where was the smell of cars?

The pervasive stench of gasoline and exhaust has been a part of our territory for as long as we can remember. I wouldn't be upset by it's absence if the human part of me wasn't screaming "HOW".

It is a fair question.

We've never met anything that could survive a car nonetheless stop one, so what could stop *all of them* and how scared should we be?

Should I even be checking this out? What if there was a contagion? Or a gas leak?

The human debates whether or not we should go while I push forward.

Ever since I recieved my blessing from Ursi, there has been an ebb and flow of divide between my new life/mind and the old one.

My instincts are adamant that something bad has happened, but they are also certain that the rot I smell could feed me for a long time and winter is pressing closer. A bear has gotta bulk up, and I haven't been eating enough. The human side keeps coming up with stuff to do, which is super fun but also burns time much more than bear hobbies.

Messing up my time management as a human was bad enough as is. I dont want to die.

The human straightens up a bit at that thought and rejoins me in our awareness.

If what we are walking into is any sort of complicated, I am going to need to stick together as one to the best of my/our ability.

We send a quick prayer to Ursi as we catch a glimpse of the first buildings and... another bear?

Wild by circumstance, not nature

Im curious if this is a me thing, a bear/black bear thing, or a more widely shared experience.

I have no desire to be wild.

My soul does not miss it and this body doesn't want to experience it.

I love the outdoors and cities make me feel claustrophobic despite my love for small spaces, but struggling to survive is not something I crave.

Ive seen so many posts about prey drive, but I get grocery store drive /hj. I don't want to hunt, I want to have access to the most convenient stockpile of calories. That used to be hunting and foraging, but now it isn't.

I don't miss being at the mercy of weather. I like being able to be dry and warm as much as I want.

I like being able to want things beyond what I need to live, like looking cool and having hobbies and collections.

I like having a comfortable life.

Life outside wasn't comfortable.

Don't get me wrong, there is a lot of uniquely uncomfortable aspects to being a bear in a human life and life has not always been comfortable in a lot of ways, but the survival cushion is nice.

So, do you miss being wild?

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.

so ive been in alterhuman, therian, furry, kemonomimi, and kink spaces related to being an animal (petplay etc) and i just dont know where i fit anymore.

maybe this is my autism taking everything 1000% litteraly but any type of gear now feels like a costume :( i do have a fursuit (being a furry and alterhuman are conntected for me) but whenever i wear it i feel like an imposter. like this is supposed to be a representation of me yet i cant sleep in it or eat with it on. it just feels fake and not in a whimsical way. like im trapped.

im still an animal with or without gear, i know that. i dont like the fact that it isnt permanent. i want to be able to LIVE in my gear. eat, sleep, breathe, everything !! but i cant because its not MINE. i run the risk of damaging costly gear if i do anything besides taking pictures and going on a walk. my blood isnt running through my tail, i cant move my ears. its just really frustrating.

The winter depression is thawing, my fellow creatures!

In the wild we hibernated or at least lowered our energy output, but in our human lives we are forced to grind against our instincts and keep going at the same pace all year.

It is exhausting, but you did it!

You are HERE.

You didn’t let the tired take over, not even as it filled your very soul.

Im proud of you and I am proud as fuck of me.

Happy spring, everyone.

Thoughts from a Greymuzzle

After posting that I was looking for friends, I realize just how out of touch I am with the current therian community. Like, wow - I understand it's been some time but the amount of new identities, terminology, views... it's a lot to process.

Now, I might just have some old-school way of thinking but, I feel like therianthropy is no longer what it used to be. To clarify, I'm all for one being who they are; I stand by the statement 'only you know who you are'. Yet, I can't help but notice there are so many who seem to be reaching and searching for something that just isn't there in hopes of validation and acceptance.

I'm probably going to get some hate swung my way for voicing my opinions right now, but I need to clarify them for anyone who may be or already is following me because I do not align with the current beliefs of therianthropy.

Therianthropy to me is 'identifying as an animal'. Not with an animal, not feeling like an animal, not associating with an animal just cause I like it's aesthetic or think it's cool. And - nothing against those who do because polytherians are a thing but, for crying out loud, 20? 30? 50+? You might as well identify as the whole animal kingdom at that point. Because how? Again, I'm old school and maybe I just don't fully understand, but as a therian myself, as an animal, I can't imagine feeling that many multiple instincts pulsing inside of me. I mean, the contradictions in carnivore and herbivore alone would drive me insane.

This is most definitely where I'm about to get some hate now, but I want to continue. I fully believe that therianthropy at this time has become nothing but a fad and a trend that younger, impressionable individuals hopped on because it was cool. Why be a human when you can say you're a black wolf/arctic fox/otter/bear/snake/cicada, right? And identity is what you make of it so, gods forbid, someone tells you that you can't identify as that, right? That's invalidation.

But where does it stop?

I am 30 years old. The therian community used to be something I was proud to be a part of. Because everyone questioned everything. Not because there was gatekeeping but because no matter what it is, there will be fakes and trolls. So naturally, you want to question someone who comes claiming they're something else. Now, I will admit, I did witness some gatekeeping within the community, but the overall questioning is healthy. It's a process of self-growth. How are you going to know yourself if you don't question yourself?

I did. Even when I knew I was a wolf, I still spent over 3 years questioning myself. I kept track of everything I did, everything I felt, every experience I had and you know what happened - self validation. I was a wolf, through and through.

Back then, the community was more focused on authenticity. Being true to yourself. Now it just seems to be an aesthetic for who can look the coolest. Quads and masks are ok; healthy ways of expression, but they aren't the defining definitions of a therian.

Therians are animals.

I am an animal.

I have prey drive; the urge to hunt, to stalk, to sink teeth into flesh.

I itch under my skin. I struggle to sometimes talk because language is foreign to me. I struggle to understand social cues because my eyes are trained to watch body language. I growl when angered, snap to correct someone misbehaving, whine/whimper when injured, nuzzle for comfort.

All of these things come naturally to me because I am an animal. I am a therian. I am a wolf.

If you don't feel any kind of instincts associated with the animal you identify as, I personally think you're misusing the term therian.

But at the end of the day, that's my own opinion. All of this is just my own viewpoint. To clarify, only you know what you are. But I will still encourage each and every person who is nonhuman to question everything. Ask yourself why you feel you are x creature/being. And don't just settle for 'I feel like it'; dig deeper than that. Reach inward and truly analyze yourself.

Question. Grow. Progress.

let's talk.

hey. when i became homeless, i was taken in by my partner and his family so that i could not end up on the streets longer than anyone should. all of the family (plus me) is disabled physically and mentally, and im working on helping them monetarily alongside my autistic boyfriend.

i didn't want to say this earlier because i'm a little scared about being seen as a "attention seeker" for revealing it now. too many details that the family feels shame over. the house's condition with the animals having health conditions and the pests. my boyfriend didnt allow me in the house for an entire year because of this and he thought it would change my perspective of him.

im happy to live in a home, but i would like to also help them with the animals and with cleaning up. i can't do that without, you know, trying to help.

right now, i need money for upkeeping, food in the fridge, vitamins for the dogs, cleaning supplies, and some pesticide. the money will go to our shopping days (Wednesday) for these supplies, and also for my Uber so I can get paid.

Do I really have 30 gazillion disorders that are all conveniently "treatment resistant" or did you turn an animal into a person and expect it to fair completely fucking fine.

Can I ask how you figured out your a werebear and also what the were part of that means?

Ok so I believe that the soul can influence phenotype and genotype.

I believe the core of my soul is bear, thus my body is most influenced by bear energy.

Some outcomes are a more robust digestive tract, thicker hair, spinal issues from being bipedal, more neurological significance placed on smell, and slow metabolism for weight gain.

I am biologically human with bear influences, hence werebear!

Technically id be an arctoidea cladowere because all parts of my soul have bodily influence, but all of the effects overlap with bear traits so I simplify to just werebear. It just rolls nicer off the tongue lol

I figured it out as I developed my soul theory. I first speculated if the soul could influence the body and how before attributing any of my traits to soul influence.

Here is an excerpt from my soul theory. Although I would reword it a bit, this captures the gist:
