Just For The Record, I Would Like To Clarify That While Yes This Post Is 1000% Inclusive Of Therians/otherkin/alterhumans

I get nicies when I'm awesome like a good dog ^-^ I want to jump into greeeeen meaaadowwwss

oooh looklook !! Es me !!!! :D

I loev drawing my forms in realistic styles it's so much "yayayyay !!"

if yur curious, it's a mix of Fallow Deer, Timber Wolf, and muy phantom wings teehee

Seeing ppl lump non-humans in with their blatantly racist / ableist "identities" as if they're even remotely comparable will never cease to disgust me

Just came to me... anyways transID chumps fuck off of my nonhuman posts, you WISH you were a real freak being true to yourself when all you're actually doing is trying to rack up Pokemon type oppression disadvantages to feel special. Me and the other creatures are laughing at you

🐾🦷🌿 :3

🐾 ➤ Yes and no. For my wolf and coyote theriotype, yep I live in the same environment! Coyotes hang out a lot around where I live and there's a wolf pack about 20 miles from my house I think. It's super nice and makes me feel very at home. As for my other theriotypes no, and the only one who's environment I'd like to live in is my otter type, since the other two live on the savanna and I don't really like excessive heat/dryness lol (I also would enjoy living in the northwestern region of Europe which is the environment i associate Wolfbloods with, but idk if that fully counts since technically Wolfbloods can live anywhere lmao)

🦷 ➤ It's a combo of spiritual and psychological for me. Some of my kintypes (like wolfblood and wolf) stem from being autistic and "imprinting" on these creatures when I was young or from multiple kintype experiences mushing together to make smth new (wolf + wildebeest + human = coyote), whereas others (like AWD and otter) I view as past life experiences. However, I also believe that my neurodivergency allows me to better connect to spiritual aspects of myself. So while some parts of my nonhumanity are spiritual in origin, they're all through the lens of neurodivergency.

I felt the first twinge of migratory instincts yesterday.

There wasn't anything particularly significant about the day. It was a bit warmer than it had been the previous week, the temperature jumping from low 30s up into mid 50s. It was drizzling and most of the snow has melted by now, but one could hardly say it was spring weather just yet. But regardless, some voice inside me started its quiet whisper "it's time to get going".

Ive had these instincts for years now, long before I ever realized I was a therian, much less a wildebeest specifically. They've grown more intense as I've gotten older, as is the case with most of my alterhuman tendencies, though they've become less overwhelming since Ive graduated high school and haven't been cooped up inside 7 hours a day.

Biological wildebeest are kind of constantly on the move, always following the rains, though the real spectacle of their travel actually does begin around this time of year, although season-wise it's nearly autumn for them rather than the start of spring like it is for us up here. They begin to migrate northwest, but interestingly my instinct always, without fail, guides me southeast, down towards Florida. I guess in some way that makes sense, we're both heading towards the same general region just with different starting points.

As spring blooms further here in the U.S, I know my instincts will get stronger and stronger, they always do. I'll crave the travel to warmer, wetter climates, encouraged by downpours and claps of thunder in the distance. My soul will scream at me to pack a small bag and just start walking, I never want to travel exclusively by car or plane, walking is what feels most natural. Trekking alongside what should be thousands and thousands of others who look, feel, and sound exactly like me, lost in a faceless herd.

It's beyond frustrating to long for a nomadic lifestyle in a society that all but demands a sedentary one. School, jobs, relationships, none of those things are built to properly survive a season of walking/hitchhiking across the country, at least not without serious fore-planning. Maybe one day I'll make it happen, hopefully I will, but it likely wont be for many years. I have too much going on right now. Until then I'll continue wishing I could just drop everything and head southeast the second I hear that whisper.

Scorch the Dragon moodboard!

Ngl I really don't see my therianthropy as being either "physical or non-physical". It just is.

I view it much the same way I view my gender identity. I would never say Im physically nonbinary or psychologically nonbinary or anything along those lines. There might be physically androgynous traits to my body, or certain aspects of my gender may manifest internally more than they do externally, but at the end of the day I simply am nonbinary. I simply am nonhuman.

No hate whatsoever to anyone who does categorize their therianthropy in those ways ofc, more power to you do whatever feels right, just personally I can't picture myself in that sense yk?

would you guys be mad at me if i came out as an mspec lesbian be honest

i always forget to write in mine lmao, but when i do i kinda just use it as an all purpose journal with a therian theme. Sometimes I write down my thoughts for / a summary of the day, usually focusing in on the nonhuman-y things that happened. But then I also used it to keep some fur from the first deer skull i ever scavenged, sketch out my theriotypes, and to design my own collection of symbols that eventually i'll use to mark and map my outdoor territory. Really, it's just about whatever aspects of nonhumanity are important to you, and the things you feel are worth documenting!

to all my therians with a therian journal, what type of things do you write in it? i saw someone on here talking about it and i think i want to start one!
