We'd Also Like To Reblog To Add In That We Would Also Appreciate If Beings Gave Tips For Good Animal

Anyone wanna howl with me rn?

I wish I did yesterday when the full moon was out where I am. But alas, I didn't, so I will howl tonight.

- Zuki Shay Lupo (They/it/xe)

Not tagged, but we wanted to do this.

There are quite a few songs stuck in our head rn, lol.

This is the main one, though, lol. Watched some of the Agatha All Along episodes a few days ago, and this song has been stuck in our head since.

- Lakey (They/it + blu/blue/blues/blues/blueself) | I think this is the first post with Lakey, lol.

[Wanna mention that I (Shay/Zuki) am almost always 'fronting' and shit, so I'm still here as well as Lakey.] | {"typical" pronouns for me (Shay/Zuki) which are they/it}

ATTENTION

If you see this you are OBLIGATED to reblog w/ the song currently stuck in your head :)

(Ignore how long this reply took to make)

Btw, in case you didn't realize, our post was not an "attack" or hate to you. We are also autistic (and adhd).

We get where you are coming from, and we once again mostly agree with you.

This is coming from beings that don't use therian or otherkin as our labels, btw. We mostly use nonhuman (as well as alterhuman and transspecies).

We also want body mods and social transition in more than just wearing "gear." (We can't get that yet, just as we can't get that with us being under the trans umbrella cause of our family). And we would love to see social transition talked about way more as well!

We just also wanted to point at that while species transition isn't all about gear, that it also can be about gear for some.

(We do, in a way, consider anything that affirms our gender and species "transitional" to us, although not everyone would. So clothes to us is a way to "transition").

Once again, no hate to op. Sorry if it ever came off that way.

just to clarify species transition =/= buy a bunch of stuff off etsy or amazon.

Rebloging to give slight "update" on this.

We are right now just making a yarn tail (also, is acrylic yarn good or bad?) Until we get the time, energy, and knowledge to go about trying to make a tail with our dog's fur.

We are thankful for all the suggestions and tips other beings gave us! But also, we are sort of "dumb" and don't necessarily understand some things in the suggestions and tips, lol. So we would appreciate it if any other beings can help us understand a bit better forthose tips and suggestions, lol.

[If there are any mistakes in spelling and grammar, only correct us if you are doing it constructively, please].

Do any beings know how to go about making a tail and/or ears with brushed off fur from a dog? Or where to find information about that kind of thing? (We have a husky, and we want to use some of his fur to make at least a tail and maybe ears as well).

We are thinking about using the start of a yarn tail to add the fur to it (we also need fur safe dye cause our dog's fur is white and ours should be a kind of dark brown). Would this work?

We wanna make a tail cause we aren't really able to properly find an ethical tail seller [we are disabled, we aren't gonna go more into it], and we have heard that fake fur tails aren't really that great. We might just end up making just a yarn tail if we can't find a way to use our dog's fur for it. [Are yarn tails good for the environment and stuff?]

- Shay 🐾

That sadly doesn't usually work for us. We'll just dismiss the timer or alarm and ignore what it was for, lol.

We need to probably do something else with the timers and alarms but not sure what.

- Shay 🐾

Any disabled beings have any tips for other disabled beings?

We are kinda having a rough (ruff, lol) time lately.

We would especially love tips for work and how to figure out if working is actually an option right now.

- Shay 🐾

Sorry, we haven't been posting lately. Our motivation and energy have been a bit worse lately.

Hopefully we will be starting to post more soon.

We will definitely be posting more about service dog stuff for us when we actually start the process of getting a service dog. We will probably have donation stuff for us when this happens cause we don't have too much money, lol. We have been trying to work on getting disability income (we always forget what it's actually called, lol) as we can't work but we have heard that it usually takes quite a while before beings actually get it. And the body's dad is disabled and a retired veteran so not too much money there either. And the body's brother doesn't work (and also might not be able to).

Anyway, all of this is to say that we will hopefully be posting again soon and that we might be asking for donations once we properly work on getting a service dog, lol.

- Shay 🐾

We are now just blocking any donation asks.

We are not gonna change our stance on this.

Sorry, but this is our blog.

- Shay 🐾

We have said it before, but guess we have to say it again.

NO DONATION ASKS

We just end up deleting them so safe the time for everyone involved.

If the same people end up sending multiple, then they will get blocked.

Hey, what are your opinions on frogs? We need strong opinions, it’s for a school project (lie). -Consensus

Frogs are cool!!!

We love all animals!!!

We don't know much about frogs, though.

Sorry, this probably isn't really what you want. But this is what we can give.

- Shay 🐾

We did!

And yeah, we get that. That's kinda also why we thought to ask if there was a word for the "human" version.

Thanks for the answer btw!!

Theriform [Official Coining Post]

Theriform Adjective (can applied as a noun in certain phrasing, see examples)

From θηρίον (thēríon) [diminutive of θήρ thḗr, “wild beast”] and μορφή (morphe) ["shape"/"figure"/"look"].

Definition:

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

Examples:

"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?"

moonfire is such an interesting name ! / pos .

what are prns aesthetics ?

angel / oath ( she / he ) , host .

Yeah, Moonfire is an interesting name, lol. They come from a D&D character idea we had, lol.

Sorry, we are a bit confused about your question. If you could explain a bit more we would appreciate it. :3c
