𓃮 werelion lair 𓃬 @werelioness - Tumblr Blog

Intro

Hey there,

Name's Essa, female, 26 years old.

A physical lioness nonhuman. (of the Asiatic lion subspecies)

Also I am a puma, but it's less pronounced.

I made this blog to share my worldview, experiences with those who are interested in such. Also English isn't my native language, in case I make some mistakes, I'm still learning and practising.

DNI: those who love imposing their opinion on others, teaching how to live. I hate it, go somewhere else.

It's a safe space for alterhumans and nonhumans, also for the ally orthohumans if you came here with nice intentions.

Welcome to my werelion lair.

also if you knew the account @leonanthropy that's me too, it's my sideblog, no longer active.

Instead check out my growing sideblog @therio-care where I come up with therian selfcare, food and home ideas.

I closed windows so safari booms, as I call them, won't be too loud and scary. I hope it will be a safe night for us. And went to bed.

I'd forgotten how wonderful it is to lie down and roar into the void. I'm busy with the "human" part of life right now, I have a workday today, and here I am roaring in bed at 2 AM. And it's just wonderful. It's so relaxing.

A noisy night again

I just heard those drone hums, so loud, so low flying. I haven't heard them for a long time thanks to the good work of our people, but this time it was especially loud.

It was really scary, I thought there will be a big boom right after. But then I heard the sound that means it was shot down. Phew. That's good.

I remember an early morning sky one day, it was this orange too. For a minute. Explosion. Right in front of my eyes. Orange cloud.

This comic shines in a new light.

Something about me is almost "domesticated" now... as much as you could call any lion that. Although I do feel the call of nature and of life in the wild- if I'm stuck here in this body and this place I want the good life! I want a keeper to bring me yummy snacks and toys I can shred. I want giant cardboard boxes sprayed with new smells I can smash with my paws and rub my face on. I want to be strong but I also want to be taken care of, I admit. I believe I was wild, so maybe it's this life that has made me soft.

Well... any animal born in captivity wouldn't make it far in the wild, huh?

subspecies

I'm a lioness. As for subspecies, I consider myself an Asiatic lion specifically.

Smaller, less social than the African lions (smaller, loose, flexible groups), more solitary hunting, prey is smaller and more familiar to me (deer, boars - I always imagined myself chasing boars) Also Asiatic lions have stronger interaction with humans nearby, which results in their more cautious and adaptable behavior - contrary to bolder African lions. Literally shy me. And woods. Just woods.

But. I think African lions are something like a close relative. I'd love to be more like those lions. I'm almost them. But not fully. I relate to them, it's like... almost..! ..Almost me. With Asiatic lions - it's fully me.

Interesting fact: Asiatic and Barbary lions are very closely related genetically, some classifications merged them into one subspecies: Panthera leo leo. Yet other researchers still keep Panthera leo persica as a name for Asiatic lions.

I like the latter. We're different! The Asiatic lion is still geographically isolated (only in India today), it has distinct morphology (smaller mane, different skull traits, behavior patterns). Just look at these boys:

Different!

Are there any Barbary lions here? Are we the same or are we different enough? What's your take on this?

I have an acute shortage of werelion media in my blood

media that is non-еrotіc

#therian #lion therian #werelion #why so many werebeast books have to be of that genre

Not liking the food that your theriotype eats doesn't negate your identity. You're in a different body right now, and you feel taste differently than theriform animals of your species. It's okay to like different food.

werelioness

I'm a lion that is a very picky meat eater, it is funny.

Yet I think if carnivore/herbivore theriform animals had human-like digestive systems, they'd also love different foods!

Sweets, chocolate, grapes, hotdogs, spices, pizza, fried meat, fruit salads etc.

#tell that to my [obligate carnivore] cat that eats everything- once he ate apple pie

I feel like folks need to talk more about types fading. We grow up, we change, and we figure out our identity more. That doesn’t mean that what we experienced wasn’t real. That type helped us understand ourselves more and we simply no longer connect with it and that’s okay.

I recently lost my connection to Cloudjumper and no longer feel that I am him. I still love him dearly and what he represented to me as I was discovering my fiction identity will always be important.

I think with all of the younger alterhumans joining online spaces, there is a heavy want to know exactly who you are right at the start. That’s not how identity works. It takes lots of time and you’re gonna make mistakes. The internet has made it really easy for others to shame individuals who haven’t fully figured out their types or change their types. You are growing and changing so your types will change to.

Something might fit right now, but one day you may find out about a creature that represents you more so that connection to the old type fades. That doesn’t make the new type or the old type and more or less valid then the other.

Take your time. There is no rush to finding out who you are.

If you know the Cats the musical's vibes

In this video compilation of instrumental songs from the musical there are automatic subtitles, I don't even know why.

That consist of: wow music (duh), Heat. Heat. Heat. (iykyk 😏), Hallelujah, more heat, even more heat, Hallelujah combined with heat, a birthday holy ghost, the Grand heat (tm) - look at that, and a perfect summation of the whole musical - oh, hey. heat. heat. you music are wonderful. Hallelujah.

I love Cats the musical so much /pos /gen

Being an animalkin is weird

Hunting for food and co., the city edition.

Stores.

It can sound weird, but being short on money (while I search for a job, it goes real slow!......) can feel like, actually a nice thing. To roam all around our neighborhood, visiting every store to find where our favorite products are the cheapest. Or, before I go outside, checking the stores' websites and comparing prices, choosing where should I go.

It's like I, as a lioness, am lurking everywhere and looking for a good hunting ground where suitable weaker prey is grazing.

Than returning home with a full backpack, proud that I found a good discount!

This feeling... Providing good food at a good price for my pride, without much unnecessary [financial] losses. Taking time, walking, training muscles. I don't like food delivery, so boring to me - just sit and wait, because of it lacking all these interesting things.

There is only one downside: if doing this irregularly then legs hurt from walking so much…

The lion roars at the city. The city roars back.

Nice cartoon about a lion in a city - therefore it's relatable 🦁 I liked the part where people pushed the lion into subway, it really feels like this during rush hour.

I think other therians who live in a city could relate too.

An African lion is taken to the city and gets loose. Despite being king of the jungle, he goes unnoticed by most of the busy local folks as he walks the streets, rides the subway, delivers a speech, pops in at a bar, and gets fitted for a suit.
