It is actually completely valid to feel saddened and frustrated by how nonhumanity and therianthropy have been reduced to masks, quadrobics, and tails. It’s an extremely personal experience, and now all we get is this same type of content over and over again that feels like roleplaying and dress up. It feels so synthetic and strictly made for others, and it’s fine if you’re mad at the lack of actual experiences and talk of actual nonhuman feelings that aren’t just “I wanna go home to the forest” “look at my mask/paws/tail” “managed to do this quads jump today”. I don’t believe that that’s the only time you feel shifty. I don’t. And I want to hear more about your daily experiences about your nonhumanity, how it affects you, what makes you euphoric. I want back originality and actually talking about your experiences that aren’t conventional and the same with everyone (as much as they might be similar in the general nonhumanity aspect).
Definitely!! I get super alert almost to the point of hypervigilance especially if I’m tired but don’t feel safe enough to relax.
Anyone else super jumpy while sleep deprived? Like my mother and her friend are talking and I keep jumping like a scared little bat and I'm confusedd
fun fact therians can be physically nonhuman
I WANT SOME NON HUMAN FRIENDS AAA
(reblog if you want to be friends/moots, or even talk!! <Dm me if you want to talk :3>)
MLM? WLW? How about NLN (nonhuman loving nonhuman)
people don’t talk about vocal stimming enough, in my opinion. haha like vocal stimming is the best. i always have to do it alone cause it usually annoys my family, but still i just love to just go and “aaaaaaaaAAAAaaAaAaaAaa” it’s somehow so refreshing
Hello! I am curious as a phys nonhuman to another, do you have any plans to get permanent or non-permanent body mods?
I plan on getting tattoos of my species, and various tails, muzzles, etc etc. ^__^
Hello! I would like to get some permanent body mods. I also want a tattoo (or maybe several) of my species. I also would like fangs whether they be implants or just costume ones.
Thanks for asking!
I definitely stim with behaviors from my species!
I sway very frequently. While other snakes do this to judge distance, I do it to self soothe. It really helps me to regulate and to feel more in touch with my ‘type.
Another thing I frequently do is climb. I don’t know if this really counts as stimming, but oh well. I love to reach high places and dangle from branches. It makes me feel very safe and connected to myself. Often when I’ve reached my designated basking branch, I sway and swish all my limbs.
I also flick my tongue frequently for fun and to help me “reset” my face after emoting. So those are just a few behaviors I attribute to being a snake.
the species euphoria and the autistic joy I get from shaking my whole body like I'm trying to get water out of my fur. hits my autistic 'yote brain real good when I full body stim like that.
i usually do it when I'm stressed and trying to "shake off the bad vibes". It really helps me take a second to calm down from any stressful customer interactions and kinda helps me relax a bit.
I also do it involuntarily sometimes whenever I wash my paws or have to get my fur wet. I hate having wet fur, it's overstimulating and uncomfortable for me.
I also sometimes have a big urge to dig especially in like sandy areas or dusty areas. idk what my coyote brain wants to do but...sometimes you just gotta dig a hole and see what happens. plus digging in sand or grainy dirt feels so good sensory wise.
anyone else sometimes stim using a behavior their species does? or just have a behavior from their species/theriotype that they use/find themselves doing a bunch?
I'm so curious to know if other creatures do this too
I tend to hiss and make other noises either when startled or when I’m content
Animals of Tumblr!!
How vocal do you tend to be?
Do you unintentionally hiss or growl? Do you get the urge to howl and bark, to croak and roar?
I'm asking cause I tend to vocalize a lot, and I wanna see how many other critters do the same
