I'm probably dragon Otherkin.
No deeper thoughts, just thought I should share it with someone. If you're theriophobic/ otherkinphobic (idk how it's called) just don't react. You're not gonna change anything, maybe just deepen my depression or smth. But if you're also Otherkin or a therian, could you reblog or write on priv? I just need to know if there is anyone like me out there.
Even predators can have predators- and can do much more harm.
my human body cannot do quads themselves- and it just makes me uncomfortable as a whole when i try, but this video is important to listen to; especially the last parts.
yes- people can sexualize you in shorts and fully clothed yes- there are people who have a fetish for bare feet and armpits yes- two is better then one, think of your trusted one as a sorta account manager or virtual bodyguard (mini yes- even wwe wrestlers have bodyguards, no need to say your tough and can 'fight them off'- trust me, adults know how to handle screaming kicking people of any age, height and weight.)
i would say your good within the whole 'location identify' thing as long as your in a big city or place with lots of individuals and away from where you actually live- ex: parks, businesses, EMPTY parking lots (cars have much more identity then you think), docks, even statues (remember the city bit though- i heavily would not do if its a town or smaller as theres much more chances of you being identified)
**every community has its creeps, and we cannot stop it no matter what- best is to just not bother with that corner of the party.**
Please watch!!
Therian safety, especially towards minors! ⚠️

After all these years living in my bipedal body you'd think i would have gotten used to walking upright by now, but no i definitely have not.
It's honestly still such a weird feeling, everything about it just feels so foreign and uncomfortable. Not like, literally physically something is wrong (I do suffer semi frequent back pain, though that's entirely unrelated), but there's no doubt in my mind that my brain is wired to be operating a quadrupedal body, not bipedal. Being upright 24/7 goes against my instincts so intensely, it's one of the main reasons I first realized I was a therian.
Even in my current body, with my short neck and weak arms, it still feels more natural and normal to move on all fours than it does to move on two. It's like there's emergency alarms constantly going off in the back of my brain telling me that something isn't right, almost like that sinking feeling you get when you realize you're seriously injured. It's so jarring.
In a perfect world, I would love to be able to regularly move around using a combination of quadrobics and bipedal movements, kind of like alexias.films over on instagram if you know her. Maybe one of these days i'll work up the nerve to do public quads, there's so many cool places around my city id love to practice at
currently wishing i had a therian friend who lived close to me so i could have someone to do quadrobics with whenever i get the zoomies
Wish I could do quads, but alas it is very hard to move like a snake…
I NEED MORE THERIAN/OTHERKIN FRIENDS PLZ IF YOU SEE THIS IDK DO SMTH AKSJDKWYFIEIFU
So, as of a few days ago I started practicing quadrobics once a day. Today was the first time I had the courage to do it outside. I'm very proud of myself but I want to continue this journey. I'll be posting about it (almost) every day starting today, today is day 1 :)
Today wasn't difficult, just new things. I can make small jumps and walk just fine but I need to work on my form. I'll be focusing on jumping & learning to canter/trot for now.
ok so therian rant time
ok so yesterday (sunday) i was doing work, trying to make a living to put in my rengoku piggy bank (as teens do) when i started feeling the IMMENSE FEELING that a tail was connected to me and wagging behind me so i was like "huh thats weird" and then I was like "wait" as I remembered phantom shifts existed (i had never had one before) and it all started to piece together and now i have had the tail on and off since then and I have even felt/seen WOLF EARS ON ME. also the tail is like really fluffy but really light, it's soft, gray fur with a white tip and a bit of brown in there (i'm a wolf :3)
Is this what a shift is like?
I tried to do quads today! I think i had an extremely short shift or something after, I think my (phantom) shifts are more of a spectrum though, like spectrum of animal to human. Like I tried doing quads while going up the stairs and into my room, i jumped onto my sister’s messy bed that has loose sheets, and just started playing with the sheets without really thinking. Then my uncle walked in and I snapped back, he asked me some questions before leaving. Was that a shift? I mean it was more animalistic and very cat like, I’m very convinced that I’m a feline now, so it’s possible right? But i’ve only had phantom shifts so I wouldn’t know.
I can't do stuff like quadrobics for many reasons, but I just wanna crawl around and be pet or have someone join me being a creature on the ground
I like the idea of Kakuja/Half-Kakuja play fighting.
[Not strictly Kakuja/Half-Kakuja, started like that tho]
This entire idea happened because of a cute dream of Centipede and T-Owl getting caught play fighting on camera or something.
Opinions? (Ask abt the dream, I have it written down!!)
[] I will be referring to Centipede as they/them.
Headcanon: Agender/Genderfluid, they/them and it/its but he/him is okay sometimes, she/her is good, more often, as well.
(This is mostly a 'Sasako needs more attention' thing, cause they kinda just glazed over how good Haise was at it. So I have a feeling they crossdressed/dressed femininely prior to that) []
Dream goes as this:
Someone is watching through a camera or something.
Centipede is sitting on top of a tower of some kind, it has a large square and flat top and it's all white. The towers isn't outside, it's inside of like a circle of some kind. There are other towers that line the walls just like it, in a circle, with a spiral staircase in the center with walkways leading to the square towers.
(I think this might be Coaclea, but I'm unsure; I've only seen the anime and that was 2-4 years ago.)
Their tails/rinkaku kakuja are kinda sprawled out behind them. They are clearly looking down at something, watching.
When T-Owl comes up over the edge behind them, very sneakily. He wanders close enough to Centipede finally, before gently (though at the beginning they didn't know that) biting one of their tails, making a noise similar to a puppy trying to play.
Centipede flips around, clearly caught off-guard, while hopping up into a mildly defensive pose. They are crouched down, on all fours, watching T-Owl.
[]
(Truly both are on all fours, I'm a sucker for quadrobics)
[alt. text to be added, you can ask if you want to do it.]
T-Owl chirps/sneezes.
Centipede does it back, before tackling T-Owl.
They duke it out in a similar way to both cats and dogs. Occasionally bitting each other, not aggressively or sexually but playfully.
Just nipping at each other.
Just playing together. The CCG won't admit this.
Until, accidentally, T-Owl bites them too hard and ends up actually hurting them. While it heals almost instantly, Centipede still yipes and leaps away from T-Owl.
T-Owl, recognizing what he did, purrs as he gets closer to Centipede. To any outsider this would look like T-Owl is trying to lure them into a false sense of security, but to other ghouls/half-ghouls he's clearly apologizing. Saying "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to." purely by action.
T-Owl gets closer to them before nuzzling into their jaw with his beak, quietly chirping to them until they chirp back. Both recognizing his apology and their exception of that apology.
Centipede purrs.
T-Owl purrs.
They just sit there for a minute, calming each other down. Just affectionately chewing on each other. (Like dogs and T-Rexes, called craniofacial biting)
-Until an incredibly high-pitched and loud alarm goes off and spooks them both.

ALTERHUMANS I AM SUMMONING YOU
let's start a chain
everyone reblog with your alterhuman toxic trait
mine is that I forget that I'm not actually the size of a cat, which usually ends up with me stuck in a box
❤️
REBLOG THIS IF YOUR BLOG IS A SAFE SPACE FOR THERIANS AND/OR FURRIES
time to reveal that pokemon (that isn't actually a pokemon)...
it's a silly birb, and its name is atoll
enjoy :3
shout out to the friend i made at the convention for taking these epic photos :3
i wore a free hugs sign and it worked wonderfully
no, you don’t need to wear your mask/tail to school.
i wish young nonhumans didn’t feel compelled to be ‘out’ at school, especially when it’s a dangerous environment. i keep seeing posts along the lines of “wore my tail/mask to school! people berated/teased/put their hands on me, but it’s ok”.
no, it’s not.
like.. i understand a mask or a tail can be a very validating thing for some people. and i’m not saying NO ONE should wear them at schools. but i just keep watching this mounting trend of young therians insinuating you need some physical accessory or to do quads to be a ‘real’ nonhuman. and then it leads to things like this and it makes me incredibly sad.
i’d known i was alterhuman since late elementary school, actually. it’s a huge part of my life even now, years after graduation. there wasn’t a reason for it to be brought up, so i never did. it was a closely guarded secret to me, but it didn’t feel like a weight i was carrying. i always thought “no one needs to know i’m an animal if it jeopardizes my safety. so, oh well”.
“but, how will people know that i’m an animal?”
they probably will. they probably already do.
i was the designated ‘animal’ person my entire school career despite not ever handling animals in front of anyone. if there were pets, lost wild animals (baby rabbits, birds, lizards), or sometimes even loose livestock that got onto campus, it was always me who had to go tend to them.
everyone wanted me in their group in environmental science. if a project called for animal illustrations, the same thing would happen. it was certainly weird because i was also a ‘weird kid’ and not especially desired to be around outside of that, lol. but i was never harassed for it. it made me feel very validated, actually.
i had fun during gym running and fiercely destroying the opposing team in field hockey. i taught everyone which plants were okay to forage (and we snacked on them when we had to sit on the lower field for practice). every day i was hyperaware of the limbs i had that weren’t quite there. friends noticed my ears twitch and my nose wiggle at certain stimuli. i felt nice walking on two legs. i felt nice because i felt animal and i didn’t have to prove it to anyone.
really like… just do what makes you happy. i admire the bravery it takes to so earnestly wear your identity on your sleeve like that. that’s very impressive. however, there is NO obligation to do anything like that if you understand that there will be a reaction that poses a threat to you.
i want our kids to be safe, too. you don’t have to feel dysphoria over being discreet. sometimes it’s the safest option. and sometimes, that can be really fun, too.
study everything you can about your ‘type. wikipedia and animalia are good resources. ramble about them to anyone who will listen. jokingly refer to yourself as one in friend spaces. wear discreet clothes that remind you of your ‘type. find a nice private place outside where you can run and explore and look at plants and smell the air and feel like yourself. but by no means do you have to prove yourself. you know you.
