Not taking into consideration the limits of modern tech or affordability, Vernids are a super good representation of what my ideal physical species transition would look like, short of just straight up shapeshifting.
(Art not mine)
When trying to envision my ideal form, the biggest obstacle Ive run into is trying to choose which kintype I'd lean into most heavily, like whether I'd want to be predominantly wildebeest or african wild dog, a pretty impossible task since prioritizing one at the expense of others would still leave me feeling incomplete.
But with Vernids, most of the core traits I'd want in a physical form remain present (digitigrade legs, paws, fur, etc.), but are still kinda shuffled around to create something new altogether. I think literally the only thing I'd change is I would probably want shorter, more canine-like ears. But otherwise if I could press a button to look like these guys I'd do it so fast.
Fun in the snow 𦴠- P
Homemade mask- I hope to commission a mask from a local maker that more matches my Fur
My jacket was missing a zipper pull, and I found a dog tag on the sidewalk, so I used nail polish to paint it black. It's a great new zipper pull, and I now jingle like a pet collar as I walk! Yip!
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!
Has this been done yet? Probably.
Tried to use language that's inclusive of alterhumans who are still human.
me when im a werewolf who somehow wound up in a pack with a coydog, a leopard, a border collie, an opossum, and an orca
Having alterhuman friends is funny sometimes because I'm an eldritch dragon incomprehensible abomination and I'm very good friends with a small domestic housecat
If i tried to authentically explain 75% of the way i experience nonhumanity to the majority of ""mainstream"" online therian community members, they'd probably either label me a clinical lycanthrope or a troll. It's so frustrating I wish more of them would realize how much their mob mentality destroys our culture :|
Anyone else feel like an outcast in the alterhuman community?
Most of the therians/alterhumans/nonhumans I see online are minors; Iβm 20 years old.
Most of them can do quadrobics; I canβt run on all fours for five minutes without everything hurting, and if I did a jump, Iβd probably break my wrists
A lot of them seem to enjoy the company of humans; Iβve never trusted or liked humans
Most of the community talks about being βsillyβ or βcuteβ when experiencing a mental shift; I have violent, animal instincts and avoid others when I feel a mental shift coming on
I donβt know. I just feel like a lot of us have becomeβ¦ tame. And Iβm not. I feel like we as a community donβt talk about the βdarkerβ side of not being human. The violent prey drive. The instinctive fear of humans that wild animals have.
To clarify, I mean no hate towards those who genuinely enjoy not being human. I just feel like even in a community of outcasts, Iβm an outcast.
Itβs just frustrating. In a place meant for those who arenβt human, Iβm still too different to fit in. I just want to have a place to belong, you know?
(This is an edit) So, it seems Iβm definitely not the only one. If anyone wants to talk about their less normalized instincts, shifts, etc., feel free to in the comments. If I find any hate or harassment in my comments, that personβs hateful comment will be removed and theyβll be blocked. My blog is a safe space
love to make art about the connection between lycanthropy & transgenderism. πΎπ³οΈββ§οΈ

henlo critters of tumblr! today i present to you: kintype art !! this is a very rough drawing of my unidentified-probably-costal-wolf-maybe-coyote-thing wild kintype! she has freckle like spots on her fur :3
wore my coyote tail to school the other day and on my way out of class my friend was telling me about how her younger cousin, who i would guess is probably like 9 or 10, has a bunch of tails like mine, likes to sit in cat trees, and "wants to be a cat so bad". and in my brain i was just like "shit man, idk how to tell you this but i think your cousin is actually just a cat."
