You're So Long Shaped

saving this cus i relate to like all of these .. mainly teeth, i neeeed fangs bro. all the fangs. pointy teefs NOW!!!

i've seen a couple posts about this so here's how i wanna species transition :P

permanent fangs

angel fangs piercings (ideally, i would already have fangs, but it sort of accentuates them)

dye hair (my family tends to go grey early so i might get that for free lol)

color contacts

tattoos, leaning towards paw tattoos but just any tattoos of wolf (+ other kintypes) would be great

wearing gear (which i currently don't do at all lol)

possibly taking some hormones to increase hair growth but i already have a lot of body hair

whatever you say buddy /silly

guys i had a shower and now im just kinda stuck with shark phantom limbs send help

bigass shark tail

i dont usually talk about this but something that really frustrates me as someone who identifies as otherkin is the agonizing lack of education, care or understanding of animals despite all of you identifying with and/or being one. No, that fox video is not cute, no, that behaviour is a myth and No that fur is not ethically sourced. you went on etsy and purchased from a buyer who probably sells on aliexpress too. im begging for you all to just educate yourself better and if you want to engage with looking after the environment perhaps consider getting involved with charities, ecological efforts [ like planting native trees in areas with habitat loss, planting wild native flowers etc] and phoning in to local/state government to get protective laws passed instead of illegally feeding wildlife in your yard and letting your cat out to kill native birds. Sincerely, a meadow loving roe deer who is frustrated with everything all the time

please dont take this as an attack or criticism on you as a person, just put in your effort to learn and cultivate instead of assume and consume. Plus reading up on native wildlife can be so utterly rewarding and wonderful<3

now look at these beautiful roe deer

mrrp i want to curl up in a den here and sleep through january

I just wanna be a dog in a forest meadow near a creek. Splashing and barking as I play in the cool water, hearing the birds in the trees, running through the grassy meadow and taking a nap in the warm sun

wowza

Just saw this person on instagram who makes wearable bat/dragon wings. Their patterns are also only like $10-15.

Welcome, Traveler!

looks at my once-human but now unrecognizable hearttypes... (watchers/keepers)

(btw since mine is a ""human"" character I consider transspecies, I feel the need to clarify: go by YOUR understanding of your hearttype for this poll)

ok , love that lil baby cheetah. hes so smug :]

for me, its the hunting/killing instincts i feel like "tiktok therians" would not ... enjoy

i feel like i do often see the "omg just saw a rabbit.. prey drive!" but mines not really like that its like.. biting tearing pinning thoughts. about like any animal ever including people

okayy ik it was the point of ur post to put my experiences but the little guy .. i keep looking at him and feeling bad for talking abt violence

What are some weird and unpopular feelings, instincts, or whatever you have with your kin/theriotypes that would put TikTok therians in a coma.

I'll go first...

I said this before, but it's breastfeeding and preening my *nonexistent* cubs. When I discovered my cheetah identity, it revolved around my cubs (and it still does). Whenever I feel cheetah, it's always my motherly instincts.

Look at this silly guy

Theriform [Official Coining Post]

Theriform

Adjective (can be applied as a noun in certain phrasing, see examples)

From θηρίον (thēríon) [diminutive of θήρ thḗr, “wild beast”] and μορφή (morphe) ["shape"/"figure"/"look"].

Definition:

A theriform animal is one which was born into a body that is typical/expected of it's species and observable as such by everyone, with species-typical levels of sapience/intelligence and whose behaviour is unaltered by being born into a human body/raised in a form perceived as human.

It is not the 'opposite' of therian despite similar etymology but is instead to be viewed as a complimentary term to therian, nonhuman, alterhuman, otherkin etc as it exists to specify certain details of a species whilst not invalidating the identities of those who are not theriform. It is made to replace potentially invalidating phrases like 'bio(logical) animal' or 'real animal'.

It is not an identity label and therefore has no flag or symbol and does not need one. Do not create these things please, or use the term to describe yourself on a personal level.

Alternative versions for non-animals could include: floraform, nat(ur)form, techform, fictoform, feyform, voidform, starform, divineform etc

Examples:

"Lol it's so funny being a cat and having a theriform cat as a pet we're both just kitties vibing but with different body shapes."

"Just because they're the same species as you does not mean you are able to take care of wild theriforms."

"The fact that there aren't that many theriforms of my species is so saddening."

"I wanna do quads alongside a pack of theriform wolves so bad!"

"I am transspecies, here is what I do/what I want to do to look more theriform."

"I wonder if theriforms get species dysphoria?"
