I think I wanna start calling myself a therianthrope instead of a therian. I know the change is small. But they have the same meaning (to my knowledge) and therianthrope isn't used as much. The terms therian and therianthropy have been watered down so much on places like tiktok, youtube, and even instagram and pinterest. I personally wear masks and tails and all that stuff and I even do quadrobics sometimes, but I seriously wish that wasn't the most common perception of therianthropy.

I hate TikTok SO much.

The video (made by foxintheunderpassage, I recommend supporting them, he posts lovely content):

VS. the comments:

“Mental health matters” until it's someone who is ““delusional”” or seems deranged according to your logic, huh? “Love thy neighbor” unless it's a therian or nonhuman? When did we as a society deem it okay to harass people on the internet? I understand that it's a social platform and free speech and all that, but did we lose all of our common decency?

I won't go on a rant about how all of these people are being extremely disrespectful and demeaning, but I am going to reiterate that physical therians are valid, no matter why they see themselves as entirely nonhuman, and delusional therians do not you to tell them that they need help.

Stop “reality checking” strangers. Just block them and move on.

P.S. There are more theriotypes than just the stereotypical “cute” ones. I know all of my plantkin, unique species, and conceptkin friends can back me up.

Shout out to this person for not knowing what an alterhuman is and harassing random people in comment sections. Good job bud/sar

Hi! friendly alterhuman reminder

your identity isn't static.

no one's is, neither our nor our human friends, we are forever changing, and this includes your kins. It is okay to gain an identity later in life, it is okay to lose one, this isn't static, this isn't forever. Ans that's okay. That's normal. Thats a part of life, your life.

do not feel guilty for losing connection with your older kins, maybe they were spiritual and you outgrew the age they died and there's no one to follow you anymore?

do not feel like you're faking for gaining connection to a kin later in life, maybe they were psychological and formed due to a recent experience?

do not feel guilty for experiencing any fluidity, not only your kins are fluid, your favorite color, your favorite band or animal, it all forms your identity, and that is forever changing, any and all experiences form you and your kins are not exempt from that! let them shape themselves, let them grow with you, theyre a part of you after all.

Let yourself grow.

ALTERHUMANS! preferably those who know a lot about labels and microlabels!! i neer ur help!

is there a name for when you want to be something REALLY BAD but you dont feel like you Are? like, you dont identify as that thing, but you really really wanna be it. is that a thing??

thanks!

Alterhumans! is there anyone else whose kintype is a carnivore, but you yourself are a vegan??? I'm a dog that never liked the taste of meat and went vegan for environmental reasons! lol

(that doesn't make me any less valid of a dog btw! >:3 my feeding preferences don't alter my identity!)

anybody just hates the usual human body care needs? hell, even animal ones, like no i dont wanna eat, sleep 8 hours a day, exercise, go on walks, and then also work for minimum of 8 hours and have to find 3 hours for relaxation and also shower and brush my teeth and

i wish i could just. sprout. photosynthesize. and just grow there, chilling, no nervous system, no brain, just grow and reproduce. and die in like a year, then get composted, god I'd love to get composted...

hey is anyone else just a furry alterhuman?? and i don't mean it like you're a furry (hobby) AND alterhuman (identity) i mean it as a furry alterhuman (identity). like my fursona IS ME. thats how i look like. thats ME. i AM an anthropomorphic dog and there's NOTHING you can do about it

This is your friendly otherkin reminder!:

You do NOT have to behave like your kintype to be it. As long as you look in the mirror and think to yourself "yeah thats a ___" or "this should be a ___" and feel good with it, you ARE that kintype!

hey uh is the strong desire to become moss normal or is that another one of my alterhuman identities i need to become aware of /genq

the alterhuman urge to point at any critter pic and say "me"

do not forget who you are.

Ahhhhhhhhh I miss flying ;^; its such a nice day and it'd be so wonderful if I could use my wings right now 😩

I got my hair cut and feel so much better!!! No longer do I have long hair that feels unnatural!!

One more step to feeling more like myself :3

Sick of rainy days, dripping down my face everything is grey (cause I've been not okay)

Huh. You know what. I thought I was a sloth demon before. But... I'm highly doubting it now. The only reason I dont do that much ever (and therefore identifying with the sin of sloth a lot. Also cause of that one memory i have, but solitude means peace—theres nothing to incite my wrath. So no wonder i felt so peaceful in my home in the void) is cause of my disability. Before my disability kicked in so hard, I had a lot of energy.

I think my demonself actually embodies Wrath. I either simmer or burn hot when i shift and i feel that emotionally too. also makes sense for why my element is fire, despite feeling burnt out and no energy most of the time.

I'm still figuring stuff out I guess

Fingers ache too badly to draw today :(((

my eyes burn hot like the fires of hell

Hello fellow kins!!!

I'm curious as to what ur forms look like, and if you'd let me, I wanna try drawing some of yall!!

My asks are open if u wanna describe ur form!

(If u have no form that's valid too!!!)

This. Yes. Thisssssssss. I feel the same (23 physically atm tho). Chronically ill dealing with fibromyalgia, I couldn't do any of those either. Ur not alone.

I'm trying to post to be part of this community, but tbh I have trouble finding stuff for demonkin. For findings new posts that aren't about animalkin (no hate, I have a headmate who's a big cat). There's not many new posts for demonkin, so most of it is the same whenever I check. Which is why im posting. Maybe another demon or divinekin will feel less alone if I do. And its a good place to get out feelings I can't talk about to anyone irl.

Part of me being a demon means that "darker" side is very prominent tbh. Has been since I was young. When I'm the one present in this body, I usually only like the trusted ones around me. Most of the time when I go outside my instinctive hate for humans flares up—even though I dont hate humans anymore. But I do feel anger at the humans around me in public. For daring to look at me. I just hate being perceived without being powerful or looking like myself. Like they can look upon me without fear or respect or deference. That's just one example. There's more.

I love the dark, and I love being alone. But at the same time, I crave companionship that understands me. I wish I knew another demon in person. Fuck it, I wish I knew another nonhuman in person.

For now I'll content myself with the shadows.

Anyone else feel like an outcast in the alterhuman community?

Most of the therians/alterhumans/nonhumans I see online are minors; I’m 20 years old.

Most of them can do quadrobics; I can’t run on all fours for five minutes without everything hurting, and if I did a jump, I’d probably break my wrists

A lot of them seem to enjoy the company of humans; I’ve never trusted or liked humans

Most of the community talks about being “silly” or “cute” when experiencing a mental shift; I have violent, animal instincts and avoid others when I feel a mental shift coming on

I don’t know. I just feel like a lot of us have become… tame. And I’m not. I feel like we as a community don’t talk about the “darker” 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, I’m an outcast.

It’s just frustrating. In a place meant for those who aren’t human, I’m still too different to fit in. I just want to have a place to belong, you know?

the telling way everyone who knows me automatically assumes I'm gonna play a tiefling in dnd 😌

I remembered a brief memory of my home in hell(?) yesterday. It was so sunny out, and I was biking to go vote. I craved the void and my dark cave so strongly even tho I knew I should be enjoying such a lovely day.

And I saw a flash of my home. Dark stone walls that opened up to a huge window (no glass, just air) to the void outside. Pure black... peaceful. A long luxurious couch and a drink in my hand as I lean back. I could see clearly even though I dont remember any light sources in the memory. (Also ahhhh it felt so right to have my wings and my tail and night vision i miss it)

I was a sloth demon (the sloth ring). We were also called void demons.

Tho no idea what I used to do to have such luxury. And i dont remember anything else. It was just a brief remembrance of a moment. Any other divinekin remember a little bit of their homes? (Or other alterbeings! Feel free to pitch in!!)

when i tell people i use it/its pronouns, i don't just mean, i use these pronouns because they are comfortable for me, i MEAN that i am literally a divine being beyond the comprehension of a typical person, a shape shifting bundle of different creatures, molded to create the homunculus that i am and you are to refer to me as such!!!

thank you :3

YOU GUYS ARE VALID!!

🥂

1/ daemian (not all daemians consider themselves non human but I do)

2/ our daemons are unsettled (x3), an african civet, a leopard, a snow leopard, a brown hyena, a newfoundland, a kestrel, an african wild dog and a wolf

3/ Not in the therian sense. We do feel our daemon's presence every so often and talk to them frequently and we experience DID switches to each daemon.

4/ a daemon is almost always fronting. They're all so different but they're all there to help balance us out.

5/ I love the community. So far, everyone's been really accepting. I'm aware there are bad parts but we've seen mostly positivity so far.

6/ Being in nature gives us massive euphoria. We can't get out much in nature because we're physically disabled but when we do it's just amazing.

7/ we do. Especially when it comes to not being able to change form whenever we like.

8/ We are one so give us advice!

9/ absolutely! We don't have any gear at the moment but want it so badly.

10/ for us, it's definitely trauma and Dissociative Identity Disorder.

11/ Don't have anyone to tag so it's open!
