What It’s Like Having Therian Friends

The term and concept of "rent lowering gunshots" has seeped into my mental vocabulary, and I've welcomed it there. Something I'm up to is gross and weird? Good, keeps the rent low. Keeps judgy people out. Post weird shit on your blog, do weird shit to your hair, be as fucky as your heart ever wants to be. If you're not the one making the profit, make yourself unprofitable. The aposematism of brightly coloured creatures is there to warn predators, not friends.

You have no moral obligation to make yourself palatable for those who would consume you.

Sincere question, what is a tiktok therian? I am new to this and idk what that means, apologies if that's a rude question

Not at all!! TikTok Therian, at least to me, are the people on TikTok who claim to be Therians but put ‘limits’ on who is allowed to be one based on actions they do or don’t agree with. Most of them shun packers, species dysphoria, objectkin/nonanimalkins, etc. People like that ofc aren’t always on TikTok, and not every therian on TikTok is like that, but just in my brief dip into the therian community on TikTok, it’s very very miserable. That’s where I first learned/heard about being a therian, but the community behind it made me feel so uncomfortable! It felt like there were so many unspoken rules, and I when I didn’t relate to people’s posts I felt isolated. when I decided to start being open about it and exploring my therian side I created this tumblr account instead, and it’s been 1000x better. I’ve met more people with similar experiences and feelings and it’s helped my anxiety around this a lot.

They suck up to normies most of the time with stuff like “us therians KNOW we’re human!” When, that just defeats the purpose of being therian entirely, the point is we’re NOT human mentally and/or physically, either fully, partially, or any other amount. They tainted the word therian with their hatred, to the point I see people saying they are uncomfortable using the term now, and that just seriously pisses me off.

I get the argument most of them are uneducated, but the problem is that we sadly live in the world where uneducated people typically have no interest in learning otherwise. People like being ignorant if it means getting to continue hating people, even if those people are literally also the same thing as you.

Basically DNI Tik-tok therians is just DNI bigoted/exclusionary therians. You don’t really have to be from TikTok to be one, it’s just my term for all of them. Hope this explanation helps :3!! Also again, no hate to regular therians on TikTok who just genuinely be doing their own thing, or the ones who are trying to reeducate others on the platform, I couldn’t do what y’all do I hate that platform already in general, it made my mental health so shit, but y’all are epic! Have a good day :3!!

One of the things I’m happy about having a human body is I can eat things that would kill me if I had the body of some of my theriotypes.

"it's you. it's always been you." but said in a resigned tone. tired, giving into persistent ache, accepting it as a truth. almost comfortable in unrequited feelings, but unable to keep it to oneself any longer

I grew up with the innate knowledge that the phrase "be yourself" did not apply to me.
