Wanting a creature themed packer
Being schizo-spec
Being an adult
Having subtype fluid kintypes
Being therian for nearly a decade and still haven't fully figured out my nonhuman identities
Being physically unable to do quads
Physically seeing myself as nonhuman
Not having a mask
Generally wanting to be violent and not just "oooh silly doooogggg :3"
Polykin
Pseudo kin feels?
Having an uncommon kintype (anteater)
+ more probably
NEW CHALLENGE: tell every aspect of your alterhumanity that would get you fake-claimed by TikTok therians /lh
-I do not have any memories as a fictionkin, am am purely psychological
-That being said I never experience shifts either
-probably just being conceptkin and placekin as well though
help me WHAT
listen to me rant about therians on tiktok and animal packers!!
under cut bc there’s a few pics and don’t want to clutter up people’s feeds 😋
so i’ve said it before but tiktok therians are just 😟 they wouldn’t last two minutes on tumblr or twitter/x
psychosis?? mental illness??
the caption honestly just tops it off lmfao this person clearly has NO IDEA what they’re talking about.
as someone who’s been (unwilling) exposed to genuine zoo stuff… packers are not that. real zoophiles want to put their stuff in dogs not put a silicone shape (or even a damn stuffed sock) in their pants
and who the fuck even cares if someone has a little silicone thing in their pants? you’d only know if the person told you?
repeat this after me:
PACKERS. ARE. NOT. SEXUAL.
THEY. NEVER. HAVE.
THEY. NEVER. WILL.
it’s giving “oh so your ‘gender’ is this? well whats in your pants? because that’s what your ‘real gender’ is.”
it’s giving transphobes who want to have a peek in your pants. it’s giving transphobes who care entirely too much about whats in your pants.
as a trans man and a therian myself (who personally doesn’t wear a packer at all due to financial restrictions), it’s kind of just people trying to hide that they’re actually transphobic but what to hide it behind “but it’s an *animal* packer! gasp! that’s so clearly zoophilia (idek what that word means so im just throwing the word around so much it’ll lose its meaning soon)!”
anyway, oscar out
Normalize not sharing the specifics of your alterhuman identity. You DON’T need to share if your identity is voluntary or not. That doesn’t fucking matter. You are what you say you are. Full stop.
Do NOT reply to this saying that “copinglinkers will never understand what it’s like”. YOU don’t know what it’s like for them. Some of you assholes seem to think that ‘linkers are the same as kin-for-fun. They’re not.
‘Linkers aren’t appropriating your fucking terms. They just want to be seen as their fucking linktype, which is made difficult by the fact that voluntary identities aren’t taken seriously. Keep that in mind.
Anyway, there’s a lot more nuance to this situation than anyone seems to want to admit. The line between voluntary and involuntary identities isn’t as clear as we’re all pretending it to be.
Not forcibly sexualizing trans bodies includes not sexualizing packers against the users will
Do I think it's disgusting to sexualize others dysphoria against their will?
Yes
Do I think it's fine for people to alleviate bottom dysphoria with packers?
Yes
Why does it suddenly change when specie's dysphoria is included
Told someone "I don't like it when people sexualize bottom dysphoria against others will" and bro really said "okay but do you support animal packers"
BRO
DID I OR DID I NOT SAY "don't sexualize others dysphoria against their will"
CAUSE I THINK I FUCKING SAID I HATE THAT
And that's literally THE ONLY reason people are against packers like that
no the hell they don't, tumblr
Size dysphoria when you wanna pick up or hold preykin in you jaws to show they are tiny
But you are not infact the giant predator and you can't do that
I get species dysphoria and one thing I never hear anyone talk about is size dysphoria. My theriotypes are fairly small and I always feel like my human vessel is too big for me
I think there's something that hasn't been noticed when I comes to the "animal packer" situation
The person at the center of this is 17, turning 18 sometime this December
They still live with their family, they still go to school.
They have been put in danger after their home and school being doxxed
The way I heard about this is hearing that "someone was marketing this to minors!", I already felt iffy because the way it was said was sexualizing dysphoria, but it got worse when realizing WHY it was probably seen or "marketed" to minors!
CAUSE THE KID WAS A MINOR
It wouldn't matter if it was posted by an adult, I would still be angry, but I'm angrier because of how much danger has been put on a teen
How does this affect their school life? Are they going to be majorly bullied now? What's their family going to do or say to them?
Not only has it put them in danger, it's put just regular trans minors in danger, considering how many people are making it seem like bottom dysphoria or packers are a 100% sexual thing, which the ENTIRE trans community has spent fucking forevers trying to disprove! And it's even more dangerous to have this happen now!
When trans lives are in danger, and a teen is at the center of an entire platform harassment campaign this is possibly the worst way TikTok leaves off
I'm gonna be happy when it finally disappears, but this last bang will do damage, and I feel like it already has
Hit them with that "I am literally a huge predator animal, let me be physically on top of you because the idea of being bigger than someone makes me feel euphoric" that humans don't seem to get
Considering misceverse stuff
Probably be nice
Need to figure out where things went wrong and why I'm getting really old anti-kin blogs
normalize not telling anyone about the intricacies of your trauma or nonhumanity or disorders or disabilities or anything else important about yourself. save that info for the people who care.
Me on my way to look for other anteaters on this site
Been meaning to say this for a while, but here's a not so gentle reminder that you don't have to be skinny, white and able bodied to be part of the nonhuman community.
Racism and ableism is sadly rampant in this community and I want this blog to be safe for the beings that feel excluded! If you want to, you can interact with this post if you are or your blog is safe for: fat, POC and disabled nonhumans. I wanna show some support, even if it's just a follow or a reblog here and there.
tiktok is actually killing me
i posted a video about wanting some weird ass gear (muzzle + literal dog food) and the whole point of the video was poking fun at me being strange about what i wanted and.
there are so many comments like "um i'm a therian but this is weird :/" or "i'm a therian but like i'm NORMAL" or "i'm a therian but i don't actually think im an animal lmfao"
OHBMY GOD AHUT UP IM GOING TO START HITTING PEOPLE WITH HAMMERS. like. OH MY GOD.
i'm actually gonna TWEAK i genuinely cannot do this anymore any time someone posts about therianthropy and they're not wearing a mask or doing quadrobics or something aesthetically pleasing that doesn't imply they actually identify as an animal kintok throws them into oncoming traffic
This year, Theriantropy Day falls on Friday, November 15 (=date of the first full moon of November) !
Take advantage of this day to celebrate your identity in your own way, learn more about the history of our wonderful community!
Take care of yourself, bye!
[I can't wait!!!!! haaaaaa]

To herbivore nonhumans who don't want to/can't do a vegan or vegetarian diet but feel dysphoric about being able to digest meat:
Herbivorous animals are not unable to digest meat.
Animal matter is actually easier for a body to process than plant matter, and herbivorous species need very complex digestive systems in order to support their lifestyles. This is why cows have four stomachs; why horses practically go into critical system failure if they get even a little bit sick. Animals that live mostly by grazing actually still do need nutrients that carnivores and omnivores get through their natural diets, which is why farming supply stores sell salt licks for animals. In the wild herbivores will quite often find ways to sneak some meat into their diets by eating bugs or small vertebrates, if you didn't already know about the fun fact of deer eating baby birds. "Obligate herbivore" meaning an animal that can ONLY physically digest plants is not a real ecological term the way "obligate carnivore" meaning animal that can ONLY physically digest meat is, though you might see it in other usages (i.e., referring to an animal that relies on a plant-based diet for all of its nutrients).
If a wild deer was given access to human society, they would probably not opt for veganism for connection with their true species; they would more likely appreciate having a way to get sodium so easily. This isn't to shame anyone who does choose a vegan/vegetarian diet for species euphoria reasons, but more to reassure folks who can't, you aren't less of an herbivore.
To carnivore nonhumans who feel dysphoric that their body can't digest raw meat like wild carnivores can:
It can!
The reason you don't want to be eating raw meat like a wolf or stoat or monitor lizard is because you will get sick or you will contract a parasite, which might sound like just a different reason to feel disconnected from your species, but here's the main two things:
1. The actuality is that wild wolves and stoats and monitor lizards DO get sick and contract parasites. This is often how wolves and stoats and monitor lizards die in the wild and why ones in captivity, being fed parasite-free meat and having illnesses treated, live longer. There are raw meats you can eat safely, you just have to know where they're sourced from and that they're guaranteed not to have risks! That's why sushi is a thing, and why people say you can technically eat raw cut (not ground) beef but not pork or chicken. Cooked meat is also often tastier and easier for the body to process (cit.: Grug et al. 780,000 BCE) so that's why humans have loved their medium-well steak since they came up with it. And 2. wild predators are "able to eat raw meat" mostly because they killed it, so it's fresh and hasn't been sitting around able to pick up bacteria, the way raw meat you get at a grocery store would have. This is why a lot of prey animals have a "play dead" defense mechanism: most predators do not want to eat something that's already dead, because it might get them sick.
If a wild owl was given access to human society, they would probably not desire only the rawest of meats for connection with their true species; they would more likely appreciate having access to food that had all the pathogens cleaned and/or scorched out of it.
