FINALLY MADE MY AGERE BLOG!!!

sometimes just existing as an animal is enough. I don't have to explain myself, or do super fancy things, or buy super expensive gear, just being an animal is enough.

reblog to blow up a transphobe

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.

everything is under the cut :)

• this one is always a hit or miss but just use your hands !! now this obviously won't work for everyone, or for every food you eat, but it works for more things than you expect! I personally also do not care if I get messy hands while eating, but I know a lot of people do. almost all snack food I eat with my hands, of something has like bread or lettuce with what I'm eating I'll pick it up with that and eat, etc

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

• chopsticks !! now I know not everyone knows how to use them or can learn how to use them but they make these things called chopstick helpers, you can get the basic plastic one or ones shaped like animals, then they are basically just an extension of your fingers. once you get used to them it becomes pretty easy to use and quite effective

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

• something I recently started using is Japanese soup spoons, they have a big handle so easy to old and a bigger "basin" for food and liquid so it doesn't spill as easy as normal spoons. they come in SO MANY designs and colors they also have a BUNCH of like designs and shapes, some have a deeper or more shallow spoon part, different shaped handles, and they aren't super expensive to buy a set of them either

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

• another type of spoon is a spoon from Russia! I am not entirely sure of their origin other than they are functional art pieces, from just an observing point of view they also can serve as the same function as Japanese soup spoons. I've heard a few names for them and I'm not sure which is the correct one so I'll just list what I found :') (khokhloma, lozhka, melchior, cherkassky) these also tend to be on the more pricey side. remember! they are also art and part of a culture, same with Japanese soup spoons

all your stuffed animals love you. they're not sad if they're in a box, or on the floor, or not held/played with as much. they understand. they know that you might need another stuffie more, or that you don't have enough space. they're just happy to be with you, and if you ever give them away, they'll be happy there too. stuffies are for comfort. they understand. they love you too. it's okay.

i think love is stored in nighttime conversations and “did you eat yet” and books left outside your door and “i waited to watch this with you” and splitting something in half to share and “im proud of you” and folded towels and “you can pick” and heads on shoulders and “you’re right, that was shitty. im sorry” and knocks on doors and “DINNER!” and stupid jokes and “hey i got this for you” and coffee made just right and… there are so many ways people say i love you silently every day over and over again if you only listen
