Note: I tend to use therian as an adjective the way theriform can be an adjective! I prefer this bc when I say 'I am a coyote therian' it feels like my therian-ness is the most important part, and coyote is a descriptor, but when I say 'I am a therian coyote' it acknowledges that my coyotehood is the most important part, and therian just describes how I experience coyotehood

Honestly I know I say this a-lot, but one of my biggest “huh’s” in the therian community has always been people assuming that, due to certain species in of itself being common amongst the community, that must essentially mean that we’re all under the same wavelength. I find it hard to connect to the generalized assumption that all canine therianthropes can relate to eachother, because that’d assume that something like I, a Yorkshire Terrier, is on the same exact mind-to-mind thinking with a Gray Wolf - (Which to preface I am not, I find our generalized experiences remarkably different). I know people are typically only thinking this way because they kinda just immediately boil down things like “dog therian” to things like “big dog that’s either common or easy to compare to an animal like a wolf”, such as kinda operating under the assumption that dog therians are usually something like a Golden Retriever, St. Bernard, Wolfdog hybrid, etc etc. Which I do understand by the way, a-lot of us in the community are these animals/breeds and a-lot of us in the community relate closely to the concept of typically intersectional things like dogness & wolfness… But when you are merely only understanding of that assumption, that theres “canine therians” who have it “easier” because they can always find “canine media” or “canine resources” (which I do mention because this all usually comes from the assumption that we all get eachother)…. I sort-of lose track (“sort-of” as in almost always admittedly). Because again - I am a Yorkshire Terrier.. You wouldn’t relate me to a Dhole or a Wolf, because to most that’s too heavy of a distinction to relate so closely - except that’s essentially what’s happening here. I’m not trying to blame this wording in of itself as a whole, not at all, but I do think it’s important to sorta see what you’re implying when you make assumptions along the lines of, again, things like canines therians being able to find information and general resources easily because we’re all canines.

Also to put it in perspective, it’s like…. Yeah - we’re all canines, but just…

(Scandinavian Grey Wolf. Portuguese Podengo. Short-Eared Dog. Dhole.)

We’re also all diverse? And I feel apart of giving us canines a little more of a respective tone is simply understanding that diversity, which also can translate similarly to other general terminology: like cat therians or fish therians.

Im havin such a hard time makin Therian & Otherkin friends, i have no idea who’s ok with messaging & inbox rambles & who isn’t!

So if you’re a Therian or Otherkin & you’re ok with critters invading your inbox and/or DMing you, reblog this post or drop a comment!

Not physically nonhuman as in “I identify as a dog, therefore I am one”, but in a “if you slit me open you would literally find dog organs” way.

another tweenre outfit because I love making em…this one’s mostly based on ages 11-12& being a weeaboo on the interweb in the 2000s/early 2010s!!

(i really like this one like really really like…)

Shout out to regressors with messy rooms

Whether that be just a small mess or you have trash and dirty dishes everywhere

you are no less of a regressor just bc your rooms isn't clean or "aesthetic"

I hope you someday have the energy to clean, but until then don't feel ashamed or any less valid

ik this isn't technically a queer thing, but my parents got me a rainbow collar for Christmas, and I see it as a peace offering?

they don't know about me not being a human at all from my knowledge and it could very well just be like a "alt fashion" gift (+ rainbow to support queer child) but id like to think it's a silent recognizing of me being different

yoooo!!! that would be awesome if they somehow caught the vibe without you having to tell them! at the very least, that might actually make that conversation easier if it ever has to happen. either way, i'm glad you got something affirming, that's awesome!

merry christmas! i hope you have a great new year as well!

We don’t have enough disabled therian representation.

It’s true. We don’t. Since the therian community is mainly online, we don’t get a lot of disabled therians. That is mainly because the algorithm pushes mainly quads and masks. It also kinda ties into my last post about the therian community being very quads and gear centered.

Many disabled people (myself included) aren’t able to do quads. And in a world that’s already not made for us, “coming out” as a therian can place unnecessary pressure on us to be able to do quads and wear gear.

I’m gonna be real with y’all, I can’t live my life without being in pain 24/7. I have multiple disabilities and while i’d love to have gear and do quads, my body just doesn’t allow it.

TLDR: even though disabled therians are underrepresented in the therian community, please don’t discount our existence.

Thanks for reading!
