Its So Weird Being In A Friend Group Where We Used To Pretend We Were Sled Dogs And Now They Make Furry

Shout out to all the alterhumans like me who aren’t comfortable with labels!! It doesn’t make us any less valid.

I don’t consider myself a therian, the only thing I really use to describe myself is puppy/dog kin… not because I disagree with the ideologies but because I don’t want to be squished into the label box. This doesn’t mean I’m any less included in the community, and neither are you!

Sometimes you are just creature :)

musickin part of me, listening to rave music full volume with the strobing music video: OH FUCK YEAH

the wolf and bunnykin parts of me: no no no please turn it off

My alterhumanity

I have known I was Alterhuman since about the age of 10-11. Although, I definitely still have questions regarding my own experiences and labels. I've been trying out a few over the years but none have really stuck. The typical Alterhuman is experienced non-physically as an identity. I on the other hand consider myself to be possibly a physical therian. Obviously I biologically am a human (yuck.) but I don't physically identify as such. I've also looked into/am looking into, terms like TransSpecies.

My experience with the community online is that it has been strongly run by minors. The tik Tok and yt community tends to focus on the more athletic/aesthetic therians and exclude plus sized therians like myself. While I have no issue with minors and what not, I never have been able to learn what I identify with due to all the stigma and drama around different labels and the main focus on aesthetic/sport.

I just as much as the next person, enjoy masks and gear. It helps me feel confident and myself. Nothing against the artists of the community.

Final note

So, with that out of the way, I hope to be welcomed into the Tumblr therian community and I will return the same energy. I am mainly here for education and to have fun with the community!

I don't bite! Come chat!

UGHHH I NEED THIS </3

I am waiting for the day I can get out of my small stupid apartment, move anywhere I want, have a cozy house with a farm, have 2 horses, 2 dogs, a cat and at least one snake, get a partner who will love me and explore with me and live a happy life as a creature.

me and gang

Life could look like this

Wet beast Wednesday!

offering a virtual hug if you want one. its so horrible that roadkill has to even be a word. take your time if you need it

Tw: mentions/topics of animal death, description of gore (kinda), subjects of death, mild description of traumatic experiences, trauma art (blood and a bit of gore included)

Yesterday i saw a black cat run across the street. I knew this cat. I've seen it often running around in the bushes. I also pet it a few times.

Today around 7:40 AM it was dead. It's insides across the street all bloody. It traumatized me and I've been distressed the whole day. Couldn't focus on anything and zoomed out constantly.

Normally I don't have a problem with seeing dead things but seeing this kitten looking like it's stomach exploded gave me flashbacks of past traumas (my first 2 cats got hit by a car) and a new trauma. The whole day i was thinking about what the owners of the cat felt when their found their beloved pet like that on the street. The kitten was still very long and could've lived way longer.

But seeing this also distressed me bc i also had a dream about dead animals that night and someone trying to murder me and my family (I'm not going to describe the dream as it would be too long and probably too graphic).

I've also been thinking about death a lot recently. Not like my own death, but much rather about the death of my beloved ones. My family, friends, pets, etc. I'm not scared of my own death but I'm scared of the death of the people around me. Mainly about my pets recently because there are a lot of dead rats lying on the streets in and outside our village and a few days ago a dead dog was found in a field.

I'm so scared that moppi and Garfield could die anytime soon. They are the cats that have lived the longest with me. I've had moppi since 2017 or 2018 and Garfield around 2021 or 2022. I've bonded with them more than with my other 3 cats I've had before and I'd be lying if I'd say I don't feel some kind of guilt even though their deaths wasn't my fault. But to me it would feel like that i loved moppi and Garfield more than eddie, ignatz and örni even though i love them all equally the same.

But what also made it traumatic for me was that I've figured out how i died as a cat in my past live. One of my theriotypes is a black mainecoon cat. I never knew how i lost my life as one but i was pretty sure i was killed by a car or something (but never was 100% sure). I got flashbacks and memory shifts that were new to me (but not nice ones). Walking across the road, worrying about nothing until a big engine with bright lights hits you in seconds, not even having the time to run away or figuring out what is happening, until it all went black.

Theriantropy isn't always nice as a lot of people say. As you can see it can also be really traumatic depending on your experience

When I'm coping with something i draw it because i know the paper I'm drawing on won't and can't judge me for my feelings.

It's just scrabbled but it's not meant to be beautiful. It's meant to be meaningful.

I couldn't bring myself today to finish cat drawing requests or any of my art that includes cats. The only thing i was able to do today was draw this.

reblogging to save 4 later :33

A small tut on how i made my ear wings

Under the cut bcuz theres a bunch of pics and i don’t wanna clutter people’s feed

List of things you’ll need:

Foam sheet/cardboard -> for the base

feathers (i used these :

Scissors

Glue (i used hot glue)

A headband

STEP 1:

Cut out the base (i recommend using a real wing as a reference. The height of the base of the wing should be a bit bigger than the height of your ear.

i labelled them left and right, but it’s pretty useless to do that.

STEP 2:

I painted the base white because the feathers aren’t opaque, and we could see the purple of the base.

STEP 3:

It’s time to glue the long feathers on! Make sure to position them before gluing, to make sure they look ok. Make sure to to follow those handy guide!

STEP 4:

Position the second (round) layer of feathers! I fold over any feather that went over the base on the top, to keep it looking clean.

STEP 5:

Now is the time to add the fluffy feathers if you want to!

STEP 6:

Time for the back! You can either leave it white or put feathers on the back too. You can use the same template, or a reference of a real wing.

STEP 7:

Almost done! It’s time to attach them to the headband. If the one you have is made of plastic and is smooth, you should wrap some thread around it and glue it to the headband before the wings, so that the wings won’t detach

This is the pink thread i used, it’s embroidery thread. I used about the length of my arm for each side, and i then lathered it in hot glue. Not super clean, but it works.

MAKE SURE YOU VERIFY THE PLACEMENT OF THE WINGS BEFORE GLUING THEM!!!!

Next, the actual attaching. You can glue the ears directly onto the headband, or use a paperclip (this will make them move , so i don’t recommend using that).

STEP 8:

Wow! Your wings are done! Good job :3

Feel free to message me if tou have questions! I’m not the best at explaining stuff ;-;

Also, if you made these, could you reblog with your finished product :3 i’m curious to see how it turned out!

@ixekopernik , @shadowfoxink , ty for asking for this!

i miss who i was like a week ago when i didnt know what a radqueer was

uhh i can’t believe i have to say this but if you’re pro transID / radqueer and/or a pro contact paraphile don’t fucking interact LOL? Just because im pro transspecies does not mean im one of yall… from my understanding it wasn’t even?? part of transid before?? until u guys stole it?? Also being greeted by a “pro consensual contact paraphile” in my notifs is one hell of a way to be introduced to alterhuman tumblr. I am trying SO hard not to hate it here 😭
