Sorry if we weren't clear. We are autistic and adhd so that affects literally everything, lol.
Anyways, we meant any "human" looking creature (so even those who are fully human). Not just alterhumans & nonhumans.
Theriform human actually works, lol. (Strikout cause original poster/creator of the term says it's not supposed to be used about humans)
(The next paragraph has religion, specifically christianity, talked about)
We know that humans are animals and aren't better than any creature, but every once in a while because of how we were raised in this life, we think of humans as "different" than most of beings. (We were raised Christian in this life, but we aren't Christian. A lot of Christians have the idea that humans aren't like other animals [this is based on our experiences with Christians, so don't come for us with the whole "not all Christians" thing]). Somehow, this kinda became a little bit of a vent about being raised Christian and shit, lol.
(We are gonna edit our original post, not getting rid of our dumbness but by using the strikeout thing)

Theriform Adjective (can applied as a noun in certain phrasing, see examples)
From ฮธฮทฯฮฏฮฟฮฝ (thฤrรญon) [diminutive of ฮธฮฎฯ thแธr, โwild beastโ] and ฮผฮฟฯฯฮฎ (morphe) ["shape"/"figure"/"look"].
A theriform animal is one which was born into a body that is typical/expected of it's species and observable as such by everyone, with species-typical levels of sapience/intelligence and whose behaviour is unaltered by being born into a human body/raised in a form perceived as human.
It is not the 'opposite' of therian despite similar etymology but is instead to be viewed as a complimentary term to therian, nonhuman, alterhuman, otherkin etc as it exists to specify certain details of a species whilst not invalidating the identities of those who are not theriform. It is made to replace potentially invalidating phrases like 'bio(logical) animal' or 'real animal'.
It is not an identity label and therefore has no flag or symbol and does not need one. Do not create these things please, or use the term to describe yourself on a personal level.
Alternative versions for non-animals could include: floraform, nat(ur)form, techform, fictoform, feyform, voidform, starform, divineform etc
"Lol it's so funny being a cat and having a theriform cat as a pet we're both just kitties vibing but with different body shapes."
"Just because they're the same species are you does not mean you are able to take care of wild theriforms."
"The fact that there aren't that many theriforms of my species is so saddening."
"I wanna do quads alongside a pack of theriform wolves so bad!"
"I am transspecies, here is what I do/what I want to do to look more theriform."
"I wonder if theriforms get species dysphoria?"
This is kinda a mood.
Except we aren't human at all. Well, this body is, but still, we aren't.
- Shay (They/it)
It's really strange being a therian raised in a religion that claimed that humans are higher beings than animals. "Humans have souls and intellectual minds and animals run only on instincts" like okay but what about me. I'm like. Both. It was one of the first things I really questioned about that religion.
Love this post!!!
We ourselves don't have DID or OSDD [at least not diagnosed, and we won't argue with anyone on if we do or do not actually have either of these]. We think that those disorders don't fit us because of reasons related to our own experiences, and arguing with us isn't gonna change shit.
However, we do think our plurality relates at least a little to our trauma, so in that way, we are both under the "endogenic" label and "traumagenic". The origin we describe ourselves as is specifically "quoitraumagenic" which is a mix of "quoigenic" and "traumagenic". We have a post with the definition from a website about plurality.
We don't typically want to talk about our origin(s?) for our plurality. We are plural, and that's all that actually matters.
- Shay ๐พ
hey, i saw a post on here saying you guys support non "traumagenic" systems and I was wanting to know if thats true.
You guys are so amazing and have helped me with my identity a lot, but this information is really important to me as a trauma survivor with severe PTSD. If you are pro endos but are open to listening to trauma survivors and phycology sources, I absolutely will provide them. I want you guys to be a safe space for people with PTSD and dissociative disorders so bad, as people who has OSDDDID tend to have more "contradictory" labels in the first place, due to the complex relationship all the different alters identities make combined.
I'm hoping so much that you'll be open to listening if this is true.
hello! i'm good, i don't need any!
if you only have severe PTSD and not a dissociative disorder and do not identify as plural, you should NOT be commenting on plurality at all. like i hate to break it to you, but if you do not deal with plurality, you do not know what the experience is like. reading papers about it will not give you insight into how people actually live.
i'm an inclusive Dissociative Identity Disorder system who is 100% pro endo, and any other type of system. i support ALL plurals, i don't cherry pick. you're correct, this blog is a safe space, especially for people with "contradictory" identities or ones that "don't make sense." why wouldn't i be here for endogenic and non traumagenic systems?
that would go against everything i stand for.
i am a trauma survivor as well. i *have* DID, i don't really need any resources on the matter- before I was diagnosed i spent years researching, and i still do keep up with research. i am aware that DID and OSDD are caused by trauma! generally it's severe, repeated trauma and/or neglect. i have no memories of my life before the age of 10. i too have severe PTSD, i have a diagnosis for C-PTSD in specific. i live with this every day of my life. i still have a lot of trauma and triggers. i black out and lose time and regularly forget who i am or where i'm at.
something to keep in mind is research on DID has literally 0 bearing on other types of plurality. just because there is a lot of research into DID, OSDD, etc. does not mean that other plural experiences do not exist. when ONLY siting medical sources and saying that because there's no other "proof" or "evidence" that other types of plurality "can't" exist, it's an appeal to authority. there is no research data to point toward because studies on DID and OSDD and other dissociative disorders have really only gained traction within the last 10 - 20 years maximum. this is an extremely recent phenomenon! just because there are no (paid, keep in mind that studies have to find funding, and investors are picky) medical papers or studies to point toward doesn't mean something isn't happening.
someone identifying as plural without trauma is not an affront to plurals who do have trauma. someone identifying as a system who doesn't have or know of any childhood trauma is not spitting in your face. i've seen this take around and it's just not it. don't take someone else's mental health as an attack on yours. it's not hurting you at all for people to identify as plural if they don't have trauma. it's not spitting in *my* face, so it's not spitting in yours, either. it's okay to let non traumagenic systems exist. it's not exacerbating your trauma or re-traumatizing you or subjecting you to new trauma.
they're not saying that your trauma is invalid just because they don't have any. i don't like people who get on a high horse because they have a dissociative disorder and act like they get to police how other people's brains work. you only know how your brain works. you do not know how any other type of system works.
endogenic systems are not identifying as endogenic to spite you or dissociative systems. they're not doing it to hurt you. they're doing it because they identify as multiple people. that is not being done with the intention to hurt anyone. this is about THEM, not you. nobody is the protagonist of the plural community. no one.
as a plural, myself, i get to choose who i support. and i choose to support people who aren't hurting anyone or doing anything wrong. i really don't care how offensive some people find non traumagenic systems, but they're not hurting you, me, or anyone else. live and let live. you don't know how someone else's brain works. you will never be able to know how someone else's brain works. accepting that will make your life easier.
being angry at other people for not having trauma will not make yours go away or undo what was done to you. you should never take out your frustrations on people who haven't hurt you. endos haven't hurt you, you just don't agree with them. these are 2 separate things. also you really don't have the right to comment on the nature of how complex non traumagenic plurality is or is not- endogenic systems can have just as many nuanced and complex identities regardless of whether or not they're dissociating. they're still multiple people whether or not you see them that way. they also have complex identities, why wouldn't they? being different people leads to a lot of complexity. you should still see them as multiple people even if you don't think it's legit. that's basic respect for another person who, again, literally hasn't hurt you.
also endogenic and non dissociative systems are still people, and we should still care about them. they're still people even if you don't agree with them, and again: they have not hurt you by virtue of existing.
hope that helps and makes sense. i am not open to changing my mind on this, but i appreciate you giving me a good reason to explain my stance on the matter. i don't have the right to police other people and tell them how their own brains work. you don't have that right, either. i'm not here to police anyone. that goes against everything i stand for. i don't gatekeep.
i'm not a cop.
New intro post, you can see our old intro posts by looking for "intro post" as a tag on our blog.
Hello, this is mainly my fictionkin account for my ockin, Zuki Shay Hara-Lupo. I am a noncanon MHA/BNHA being/creature. You can call me Zuki, Shay, or Lupo, whatever you prefer!
My canon was divergent from the manga and anime. If you want to know more about my canon, send in an ask, or you can see some things on my original intro posts. The only thing I will mention here is that UA was a college instead of a high school, so my class and I were all 18 at the start of the first year at UA.
In this life, the body is currently 19, so keep that in mind. We don't mind minors interacting. Just know I (the host) am more hesitant to interact with minors myself.
We try and make sure our posts are all tagged well, especially for tw or cw, if you see a post of ours that doesn't have a tw or cw that needs to be tagged tagged, then let us know and we'll fix it.
We are alterhuman/nonhuman in more ways in this life and in my (the host) life as Zuki, so that will also be brought up on our account.
We will not answer/post any donation asks if you want to know why you should be able to find the posts we made about it by using the tag "no donation asks." [Had to make this bigger and bold, so hopefully, people will listen]
We will block for any reason. Especially when it comes to hate.
This is an endo safe space. We will not judge systems/plural beings for their origins. If you don't like this, leave.
We are also disabled, both in this life and in my (the host) life as Zuki, so that will also be on our blog. [In this life for all the ones after this]. We are autistic and ADHD for sure. We have a learning disability and depression as well diagnosed. We believe we might have OCD and PTSD but are not sure yet. I know we have some form of anxiety, but it's not diagnosed. We all (alters) experience these disabilities so yeah.
Because of our disabilities, we need a service dog in this life. [I also had one as Zuki]. We will likely post more about the service dog when we finally get our stuff together and do more about it.
We are plural. The terms that seem to fit our origin right now are; quoigenic, unknown, and cryptogenic.

Firstly, species dysphoria is definitely a thing, and it's a lot like gender dysphoria (coming from beings who have both).
Secondly, absolutely it fucking sucks when we see the "I am human" things. Like, nope, that's not true. None of us are human.
(We wrote most of this a while ago, lol)
- Shay ๐พ
I know everyone in non/alterhuman community always makes jokes about these 'prove you're human' captchas (hell our host posted one the other day lmao) but I wonder, does anyone else get genuinely upset by these?
I don't mean the jokes btw, I mean the captcha itself
I know it's probably a really dumb thing to get upset over and the wording on a captcha doesn't mean a damn thing but still, it gets to me
Maybe that's just because I'm ahuman but it makes me upset to even think about having to 'prove I'm human' when I'm not
It makes me feel sick
I don't want to be seen as human, I don't want to be labeled as human, I don't want other people to call me human, I don't want to call myself human, I don't even want entertain the mere suggestion that I could be a human or anything similar to it
Again, I know that the wording on captchas don't mean shit, but I can't help that it makes me upset, it just does
I certainly don't wanna have to get upset every time I log into something online, it's exhausting
I guess it kinda gives a feeling of dysphoria? I dunno that's what our host Berri says, even he isn't sure though cause he only experiences gender dysphoria but I've heard species dysphoria is a thing so maybe that's what it is
Idk
I guess I kinda just wanna know that I'm not alone in this feeling, that I'm not just being worthlessly dramatic
Tw/cw: blood, werecreatures, and vampires
JFJFJDKDKKKRKFKFK
Hate the times when I miss feeling and seeing blood on my paws, claws, and dripping from my fangs.
Like, please, I don't want to miss it, I probably shouldn't miss it.
I miss being a werecreature (more specifically a canine like werecreature), I miss feeling the rush of being in that form, I just miss it.
I don't know if I'm a vampire or not. Blood is just good and shit, idk, man. If I am, I miss it too.
- Shay (They/it) | werecreature hours I guess

Reblogging this means that you want people to send you asks!
It's a great movie!!! We love it!
- Shay
We are being overwhelmed by a bunch of movie choices to watch while we try and either sleep or continue doing random stuff on our phone. Help.
Gonna do a poll so anyone who sees our post rn can help us decide on a movie to watch [our brain may end up actually choosing a different movie than the poll actually ends up as, cause of our stupid PDA (Pathological demand avoidance) and stuff]
Also, for the "Other" option, please have the movies be kid friendly as we [Shay subpack] might be slightly regressed rn.
Apparently, the poll has to last for either a day or a week, but it will actually last for like 1 hour or so for us.

Second poem to post.
Tw/cw: abuse but not named. Nothing else I can think of but let me know if you find anymore.
Another canine/dog related poem.
Trying something different with the read more thing being after the title of the poem.
I love like a dog
Always going back
To people who hurt me
Cause that's what I
Was taught that love is
I love like a dog
Always letting people
I love hurt me
Cause that's what I
Was taught that love is
I love like a dog
Always waiting for
People to hurt me
Cause that's what I
Was taught that love is
I love like a dog
I hurt the people
I love just the same
Cause that's what I
Was taught that love is
Haha. I'm not even human, so checkmate to the people who say that. (The ones who say "love is what makes us human," I mean, lol)
- Zuki Shay Lupo (They/it)
"love is what makes us human" actually it's 'select all images with boat' but go off I guess
We are both transgender (specifically genderqueer/enby) and nonhuman (and we actually would love to use the term transspecies more for ourselves, honestly [more so me than my fellow packmates]).
Transspecies beings are not taking anything away from (other) trans people.
People are gonna hate what they hate. If people really try to use transspecies beings as a reason to hate on transgender people, then they were never really supportive of trans people in the first place.
Remember, be yourself/yourselves as long as you're not hurting anyone!
- Shay ๐พ | The host, who always fronts, of the Wildlife Pack
I'm starting to realize my past views about the term "transpecies" don't align with my current morals and I'm kinda playing with the term. To anyone who uses the term, what are your thoughts about it? Why do you think it's an okay term to use or why not?
I've heard people call it offensive to trans people before but ive also heard that take is pitting two communities against eachother for no reason/one identity doesn't discredit another. I can't think of any actually good reasons against the term tbh. It feels like one of those things I heard about through people being like "have you heard some people call themselves trans species and want to become animals??" And out of fear of being ostracized myself agreed with other peoples views of it. Now I think that's a nothing argument and discredits peoples identities because they are "weird". To be honest, I think the only difference between being a therian/otherkin and transpecies is the label and people only disagree with the label because they are worried about trangender people being ostracized or seen as "just as weird" and transpecies people.
