I Think I'm Gonna Start Using This :3

I do experience species dysphoria, but not in a "I wish I was a real animal" way. Its more like a sudden hyperaware moment of "I'm not supposed to understand human language and conepts or idea, I shouldn't know these things the way I do. Because of their perception of what I am, they know me as human. I am not human, I am entirely a canine, but you don't see that. I am trapped inbetween my exsistence and their view. How miserable."

THERIANS AND OTHERKINS ALL OVER THE WORLD!

I'm going to host a THERIAN and OTHERKIN Minecraft server! You will be able to become your theriotypes and play Minecraft with them!

For now, the server is still going under maintenance. I'm adding mods to make sure the majority of therians is included.

I'm also adding some fantastical creatures so that otherkins can join too!

Please share so that when the server is complete, others can play too!

SOMEONE OR SOMETHING PLEASE ASK ME ANYTHING

I wanna talk to more animals/creatures/concepts/etc :3

okay, ive seen way too many posts on the community tags talking about the tiktok ban and saying stuff like "i hope tiktok therians dont come in here theyre so awful and i hate them lol". and... i dont know what to tell you guys, i think thats mean as hell.

imagine, just for a second, that youre a therian on tiktok. at 13 years old, youve found a friendly community where people express themselves with masks, tails, and a type of movement called quadrobics. they seem to be having fun, so you decide to join in. and for a while, youre having fun too! you start practicing quadrobics, which is tough at first but you work hard to get better. you ask your parents for some cat masks, which you decorate with paint and faux fur. you make videos of yourself and your friends, wearing cat masks and dancing on all fours to some bland indie song.

then, out of nowhere, one of your posts goes viral. and suddenly, youre not having fun anymore.

"therians are crazy", "if you identify as a dog you should be chained and made to sleep naked outside", "my little brother came out as a therian and i bullied him until he stopped lol", "if i see a therian in the woods im shooting them", "if you want to be an animal, ill treat you like one".

again, YOURE 13. so you get defensive, because people you dont know are attacking you online and as a young teen, you dont know what to do to make it stop. so instead of confronting them, you try to please them instead. "im not crazy, im just having fun" turns into "i dont identify as an animal, only crazy people do that!" and then to "therians dont actually think were animals; thats lycanthropy and its wrong". this is what others in your community are saying, so it must be true, right? it helps slow down the criticism at least, if only for a little while; even if it never fully goes away. so you keep saying it, even to others in your community, because if it protects you from judgment, why not?

but now youre dealing with the possibility of your platform disappearing. youll lose your friends, the community youve worked so hard to be a part of. you heard some friends say they might switch to instagram if tiktok gets banned, while others prefer reddit or tumblr. Feeling curious (you didnt realize there were therians on other sites!), you decide to check out tumblr to see what that community is like there. the first post you come across at the top of the tag? "i hope tiktok therians dont come here theyre so awful and i hate them lol".

so yeah. thats the problem with making blanket statements like these; it only pushes away members of our own community. shame is not a motivator, and your aggressiveness gets us nowhere. remember, one catches more flies with honey than with vinegar. so be kind.

So I'm a furry, and I would never officially consider myself part of the fandom but I've always loved the art and the community and just AH you are all so so cool

but anyways, I really want to make my own fursona and honestly I have no idea how to start or what to do, and it's really overwhelming with all the choices idk how to start

if someone could give me some pointers that would be an amazing help <3

I felt like this was a reminder worth saying due to some stuff I see lolz

Not all transspecies people are physical nonhumans, not all physical nonhumans are holotheres, and not all holotheres are transspecies

You don't have to be one thing to be the other(s) and being one doesn't automatically make you the other(s)

You choose what labels fit you

Transspecies ≠ physical nonhuman ≠ holothere ≠ Transspecies

You don't have to transition to be transspecies

You don't have to have dysphoria to be transspecies

You can already be your -type and use transspecies

Being transspecies doesn't just mean becoming an animal
