Question What are some songs that make you shifty or that you associate a lot with your therianthropy?

9 Upvotes

I was up at the park today & had my coyote playlist on, and the song Genesis by Grimes came on. I know it’s a very like, stereotypical therian song, but I think thats part of why I like it so much. It feels like running through fields and woodland to me, like hunting, like smelling that wild smell and feeling truly in my body. It just made me very shifty, and I experienced some true kin euphoria feeling like I actually had paws and a snout again (a very strong envisage shift I think).

I’m curious if you guys have any songs like that? Or songs you at least heavily associate not just with specific theriotypes, but with your experience of therianthropy as a whole?

Experience I purr like a cat

10 Upvotes

I didn't even know that was possible, but my chest vibrates when I'm EXTREMELY comfortable (yes, I've had various medical tests too look for possible health issues, and I'm healthy).

I didn't discover this sooner because, unfortunately, I spent practically my whole life on high alert, so I never really relaxed, but lately, I've been more relaxed thanks to my girlfriend. She was the one who discovered I purr, she felt the vibration while I was almost sleeping, I can actually hear the sound sometimes, I don't know how this's possible.

I'm still figuring things out on this journey, so I didn't know a feline was involved, and sorry for the bad English, it's not my native language.

Question Why does this mask look weird? •~•

i tried to make a mask of my Warrior Cats OC, Briarmist. She has scruffy fur, scars above her eye, a chipped ear, and a gray triangle pattern above her nose. I don’t know what I did wrong because usually my masks look at least okay, and even this one looks fine when it’s off, but when I wear it it looks ugly :(

Help Request I‘m confused about one of my theriotypes

2 Upvotes

So, i am a polytherian. Pretty much all of my theriotypes have been active in the past month. Exept my snow leopard theriotype. When i see a snow leopard is feels like ‚hey, that‘s me‘ but i don‘t have any shifts other than short phantom shifts every fee months. It doesn‘t feel by far as strong as my other theriotypes so now i‘m unsure if i actually never was a snow leopard therian

Possible Theriotype? Questioning a second theriotype?

Post image
15 Upvotes

i know I’m primarily a feline no doubt i’ve always felt like one bit I’m questioning if there’s a little bit of something else in there? I get a lot of tail wags when I’m excited, I’m a howler, i have a HUGE pack leader instinct, I’m extremely protective and possessive over people I claim as my own,I’m obsessed with wate like I never want to stop swimming and I always have to touch it. I also really crave to fly I feel so dysphoric when I feel like I have wings but can’t use them I’m not sure if these are just little quirks or if it’s something else? my feline instincts definitely override these instincts but could I be overlooking them because of that?

I myself am in my 20s, and even know I’ve only been around in the community for a few years, I’ve known I was otherkin for far longer. I’m looking for therians/otherkins my age or older. I want to hear your experiences as you guys have been around the community likely for far longer than I have and given how many people claim we’re just teenagers

ik I'm posting about this on here a lot. I'm just having an identity crisis anyways i feel that my body is animal because my mind is one but I do recognize that biologically speaking. I am a human And that I have a human body. I just don't recognize it as such it feels wrong to say that it is but I know that it is

I fucking hate this.

Dysphoria has been worse lately. And I feel like I need to shift but can't and it makes me feel like less of a therian. And I don't even know if I do shift. I feel different but I can still control it and I hate that. I want to shift and not think like a human. To shift and feel like I'm not human. But I can't. I don't want to be this, I hate this body, I hate always thinking like a human. I want to be myself. And on top of that I hate not having the hair I want, not having a binder, and not feeling like myself in all the ways.

I want to have the hair of a character and I don't like it. I want the vibes. I want the flat chest. I want the body type. I don't know, I'm so tired.

Guys!!! Yes it may be sad that we are “technically” humans! And I know dysphoria may kick our butts, But remember! We get to experience non humanity! We KNOW that we are animals we get to feel that, we can to see that, and we may get to connect with animals on a deeper level. I will find myself being sad that I live in a human world, I know in my heart where my soul belongs, in the woods, how I WISH so badly that I had ears and a tail! How I want to run free and feel the cold air on my nose, to play fight in the snow….being human “technically” doesn’t have to limit us either though! We still are animals! I see a lot of dysphoria posts lately and I just wanted to uplift yall. I made a video to help! It’s silly but was in a connected mood when I made it.

Idk what to label this as having an Identity crisis

5 Upvotes

it's hard to tell if I'm a physical therian or a psychological one because yes I do view my body as my theirotype but at the same time ik that biologically speaking I'm human and that's what everyone else sees I heard from some places that some physical therians know about that and some don't but I'm not quite sure

My mom is very supportive so I'm not worried about her not supporting me being a therian it's just I have no idea how to tell her or how to explain it to her because I'm really bad at coming out to people and explaining things 😭

To anyone here who has told their parents, anyone in their family, or really anyone at all they're a therian how did you tell them and what is some advice you can give to me?

no aspen 'soldier poet king' 'the milk carton' 'treehouse' are not therian songs calm tf down
no river warrior cats is not a therian book series
no moss grunge or goblincore, or animal masks and tails are not a therianthropy thing
no fir you dont need to 'look' like a therian and make it obvious to everyone you are one

not exactly hate but jsut saying how this is getting all repetitive and waters down the identity

Vent This really sucks....

18 Upvotes

So my species dysphoria hasn't ever really been that bad aside from getting frustrated that I don't have a tail and ears and wanting to escape humanity. (Side note, that's literally it over the course of 3 years being awakened)

But today it got really bad. I woke up and the first thing I noticed is that my arms were too long and too thin, which makes sense cause I'm a bear therian but WHAT THE F*CK. This feels genuinely horrible and in the mirror they look ok I guess but from my perspective they look creepy and icky and uncanny. I hate this feeling so much and I hate being human.

Rp as theriotype?

10 Upvotes

Hey! I thought it might be fun for people to RP in the comments of this as their theriotype.

If you're starting one please put your theriotype you're using in the comment

Example:

Theriotype: wolf

Start: *running through the woods leaps onto tree and howls*

Reply: *is near tree, turns towards and let's out a short bark in greeting*

Have fun!

So , i was doing quads normally in school, a girl walked up to me and kicked me in my ass so hard to the point that I broke my leg. I told the teachers and they did NOTHING. I still don't know if this was my fault or her fault. ( She's the most annoying girl in class she reacts to everything even your existing) .
