I've Been Recently Thinking I'm Dragonkin? I Mean, I Had A Shift Similar Today. If Not, It Was Something

I keep questioning so many species, and I'm honestly very excited to learn about so many links/types. But I'm definitely a Polytherian.

These are so fun to make

good god do i want more irl canine therian friends. i need a pack so badly. we can gnaw on beef jerkey and walk the alleyways at night together

The relationships I crave ♡♡♡

Experience phantom teeth in public is so unhappy. Cause like I wanna bite or flick my teeth.

Nope, I never actually had the desire to have a mask, and same for quads - plus it's hard for me to do in general.

And I've actually been in the same boat as you feeling like I'm not proving myself a therian, all have to remember is that all of our experiences are different and how we express ourselves.

All that stuff up to you if you genuinely want to buy gear /g /lh. For me, I'm only ever planning to buy a tail for gear.

any other therians never rly have a desire to wear masks or do quadrobics?

respect to people who do (especially quadrobics, it looks so difficult lol) but it doesn’t feel very appealing to me at all.

i personally feel like my therianthropy is much less outward expression (like aforementioned things) and much more…. laying in bed, completely still, closing my eyes, and feeling a deep, painful yearning for something beyond the human experience.

honestly, with the big wave of people on here talking about doing quadrobics and gear and whatnot, it has me kind of feeling a bit insecure.

like am i not doing enough to “prove” that i’m a therian? should i want to make myself a mask and learn how to run on all fours? should i want to buy a tail i can wear?

bad imposter syndrome over here i suppose

I feel like Ethereal Light, a person of the sun.

A connection to light.

Light spilling from behind clouds, that could be me.

I want to be like the Light.

I wish to be a son of the light.

Son of the sun.

1. I'm looking into them and doing research still. From what I've learned, I may be Otherhearted. But I'm therian and nonhuman in general.

2. I'm a Polytherian/kin, so there are many! I'll put down my main connections: Grey Wolf, Coastal Wolf, Werewolf, Lynx Canada, Crocodile, Angel, and Red Fox. I be a shapeshifer

3. I do experience them! My most common ones are: teeth, claws, tails, ears, and wings. I don't believe I ever had a cameo shift before.

4. I usually experience it mainly on here looking all of the other therians and nonhumans. I'm generally very happy on here and see others exploring. Or I'm looking at documentaries about my types.

5. I'm enjoying the community! I'm thankful that this was the first place I came to for community :] cause I've seen and heard that on other apps, they get pretty toxic, and a lot of misinfo is spread. I also have one Irl friend who's therian.

6. Going out of walks or being in my room making myself a little den.

7. Sometimes? I don't experience it a lot, it makes me sad for the majority of the time.

8. Finding a good community! This app is one of the safer areas of being a therian. And expressing yourself in ways that are comfortable. Also, going with what you're comfortable with.

9. I don't have any gear, but I do wish to have gear. I plan to get gear whenever I can. I want at least a tail for my wolf.

10. I believe I may have been an animal or nonhuman in my past lives, and it's why I may have such a connection with them.

Be aware of the discord server "Therian festive forest"

The server is a huge server with multiple thousand members, which is why I'll be discussing this a little further. It's run by a 15yo.

When i got accepted into the server i asked to talk to an adult staff member about their rule that states that you arent allowed to mention being objectum.

After a staff member created a ticket for me, i tried explaining why the rule is 1. Feeding into a harmful stereotype, and 2. Can have negative effects on objectum folk such as shame and blaming oneself for their HARMLESS attraction.

Instead of an adult, which i asked for, multiple minors started talking to me (+ one actual adult). That's also where i found out about the age of the owner.

Not only did they handle the situation incredibly immature, they also made fun of me, kept deleting messages and didnt really respond to my arguments at all. Instead they kept repeating how i can be in the server if i just hide myself and keep my mouth shut about the topic.

The issue wasn't about myself. It was the general rule that feeds into the stereotype of objectum being harmful and something bad that you shouldn't talk about.

So, instead of actually trying to solve the problem with me, they ignored most of my messages and then started bringing up trans IDs.

After i stated that u cannot compare trans ids to objectum since trans ids are infact harmful while objectum isnt they started to attack me personally for being transspecies wich i havent mentioned in the chat at all, its in my bio and they just brought it up for whatever reason.

They stated Transspecies is a transID, its invalid and disrespects transsgender people.

I tried to explain to them how transspecies literally has been a thing way longer than transIDs but again they didnt give a shit and instead told me im not valid.

I told them Transspecies is part of the Alterhuman umbrella, their response was telling me alterhumanity is strictly non physical.

Not only is this false but i also provided them a source (otherkin wiki) wich they ignored again.

I then got banned with the reasoning "claims that objectum and transspecies is valid and that alterhumanity includes physical identities"

So basically they told me i can be in the server if i dont bring up objectum in the channels but then proceed to ban me for.. being objectum?

Okay bud.

In conclusion, this server is not just anti objectum they are also anti transspecies aswell as anti physical therianthropy/nonhumanity.

I can not recommend this server to anyone who is looking for an open and welcoming community.
