🍂 To the avians who have the pull to fly south to warmer weathers
🍁 To the cold bloodeds who are feeling slower and sleepier with the temperature
🍂 To the gatherers who are ready to have fall munchies
🍁 To the insects ready to curl up and tuck away till spring
🍂 To the big, small, and medium mammals wanting to simply sleep away the winter and eats lots of food
🍁 To the critters who can’t wait to run through crunchy leaves and piles of fluffy snow
🍂 To the creatures whose fur would be slowly changing into their winter whites
🍁 And to all who can feel the changes of fall and winter approaching,
shout out to anyone whose disability gives them species euphoria in some way. to the hypermobile eldritch creatures whose bodies contort in ways past typical human ability, to mermaids in wheelchairs, to any creature who can't speak/only communicates vocally via sounds, to the autistics with heightened senses, to the horses who use crutches, to the schizophrenic wolves who hallucinate their paws and ears, to the ones dogs allergic to chocolate, to any and all in between.
(please feel free to tell me abt how your disability gives you species euphoria in the tags/replies! i would genuinely love to hear it :°])
Me, jokingly: haha raccoon kin? Nah not for me my kin experience is very spiritual and perdonal to m-
ONE SPECIFIC REEL ON INSTAGRAM: hey actually raccoons’ tails wag, actually :)
Me: oh god. Oh fuck.
Sometimes therian spaces just feel like "therians are valid! but-", then they give you an entire paragraph about why you aren't one of the "alright therians"
Got a haircut, where the hell is my bandana? Where’s the cinnamon-scented spray for my fur? Where’s my treat?
I think there's something to be said that saying the words "Deny, Defend, Depose, you're next" to an insurance sales rep can get you arrested for 'threats of mass homicide' or whatever with a threat of 15 years in prison
But when I was a manager in a fast food restaurant I've had customers throw food at me, demand for my personal phone number with an added threat of "Well I'll just have to FIND it", customers charging past the front counter to physically intimidate me and my coworkers, screaming and swearing, demands to know what time I get out of work, demands to know when my manager would be at work as a threat, people sitting in their car waiting for me to finish closing because they were angry at me, causing me to stay in the office watching the camera waiting for them to drive away...
But none of those incidents are arrest-able offenses, not one, any time I called the cops on any customer I would just hear excuses like " "there isn't anything illegal about calling a restaurant", that nothing physical happened and therefore there's nothing they could do, to call back and let them know if anything else happens
Idk, just think it's A TEENY TINY BIT ODD
Cop in the news goes "words have consequences" as if people don't berate and threaten fast food and retail workers every day
Tiktok therians: Therians don't ACTUALLY believe they're animals!!
The observable universe:
i know we all love to overthink stuff but its important to remember not to lose yourself in the process. sometimes you just are, and thats okay.
