I guess as a friendly little reminder and just something to have some peace of mind - NEVER FEEL LIKE YOU CAN'T TALK TO ME. Please!!! If I had ever done or have done, or said or hadn't said something that may have upset you, please tell me!!! I can't rectify a situation that I may not even possibly know is happening! I can be an adult, I can take criticisms and communicate!! I raise a kid by myself, I try to talk to a lot of people in a day! I miss DM's, IM'S, inbox stuff, threads, tags!!! Just talk to me, remind me! I'm a really easy going and extremely understanding person! I try to juggle a lot and I don't have to, but I want to because I love and adore everybody in this fandom!!! It's nice to just spread love and be loved and be kind and understand one another!!! So please, if ever something is on your mind, talk to me directly! I won't get upset or anything, I just want to understand and see if we can come to a common ground for both parties to be heard, see each other's sides and understood, and see where we can go forward after talking!!! I love y'all. ❤️🥺

umm i need reassurance that my presence is wanted but i can’t ask for reassurance because that’s really Embarrassing and it wouldn’t feel genuine if i asked for it

be kind to kids (yes, this includes teenagers) who identify as nonhuman, otherkin, fictionkin, therian, alterhuman, or a furry. they are living their life the way that makes sense to them. they don't deserve an "i told you so" if they grow out of identifying that way later on. they don't deserve to be asked "aren't you too old for that now?" they don't deserve to be laughed at and mocked online. children forming a wolf pack aren't hurting anyone. kids who want to meet other kids who identify as nonhuman aren't embarrassing.

kids need a sense of community no matter who they are. kids deserve the right to identify their own feelings. kids are allowed to express parts of themselves adults find "embarrassing". adults are allowed to do all of these things, too, but it's become routine for folks online to mock literal children for embarrassing behavior.

identifying as an animal isn't embarrassing; what is embarrassing is being an adult and picking on literal children. who cares, it's not hurting a singular soul. let them explore identity in ways that make sense to them. identifying as nonhuman isn't a danger to anyone else. they aren't hurting themselves. let them identify as a nonhuman and explore what that means to them. let them live their lives.
