A Little bit of a vent ahead (sorry):

Aargh my hand is dying I made myself finish this before the day was over after remembering at like noon that I was planning on doing this. Life wasn’t cooperating either so I had like two hours and to add onto that I haven’t drawn in like a month :(

Anyways yeah sorry for being so inactive I’m stressed for no reason whatsoever and it’s making my brain turn to mush.

I used Kyle (my favorite character lol) for reference!

This was really fun! I was going to draw my wolf theriotype too but my hand and brain is tired

Imagine if a bunch of therians drew their theriotypes as Animal crossing characters, yeah, imagine that.

(PLEAPLEASEPLEASE REBLOG WITH A DRAWING OF YOUR THERIOTYPE AS AN ANIMAL CROSSING CHARACTER 🙏)

Hi Bubble!!

Hi!!

The worst of messes

Become successes!

Life is like a hurricane

Grrrr the brain is not braining correctly today I cannot draw but this came to me in a vision and, well, prophecies must be fulfilled ig

TW MOTION BLUR!!

Bonus doodle that took way too long for how bad the quality is !! :D

I don’t at all remember when exactly I was introduced to therianthropy, or even started identifying as so, but I do know that I’ve always felt like I wasn’t fully human.

I always used to tell people (parents, close friends, etc) that I felt like there was the spirit of an animal squeezed in with my human one (if that makes any sense). I was absolutely the wolf kid in school, except I had my own pack as well. We drifted apart, very sadly, and I went off to discover the furry community. I enjoyed imagining myself having physical animal traits again, and made myself a fursona (whose name is my url lol) I slowly began remembering more and more from my theriotypes, and didn’t know what to do about it. Sometimes I felt like I was going insane. I was not meant to be human, or even alive, and no one around me could relate. As mentioned earlier, I don’t remember discovering the term therianthropy but I think it might’ve been YouTube or something like that. I remember thinking about it that night and feeling so seen, like there was finally a community I could relate to! I did more research on the subject and somehow that led to me identifying as a therian! I’m still discovering more about my identity every day, but for now I’m glad to have friends who understand the pain I feel.

Non-humans, what led you to realizing you weren't human? What labels do you currently use to express your non-humanity (if any), and what exactly do you currently identify as?

I'll go first!

(Due to the fact that we as a system share memories due to the lack of blackouts/complete amnesia and are for the most part collectively non-human I, Wolf, will be speaking for us all collectively.)

As a child, from the moment we were able to form a sense of self, we knew we weren't human. We always had that feeling that there was something different about us, something nobody around us would ever understand. So we stayed quiet about it. Why would we ever talk about something that nobody would ever truly understand. Well, that's what we thought for the next 13-ish years of our life. When we first discovered alter-humanity it was through Therianthropy tiktok in 2021 (yes, I know, not the best source of information.) and we started identifying by tiktok's definition of a therian because we thought that's all we needed to know at the time. Just having a "special connection" to animals felt good enough at the time. It wasn't exactly how we felt, but it was "good enough" we thought. Something that we could tell people and they might actually understand. Around a month passed of this situation before we decided to actually do our own research (finally!). And we discovered that Therianthropy actually meant identifying as some non-human animal to some level. We felt like we'd been heard, like we could finally be accepted by a community of others just like us. And that's how it was for about a year. After a year had passed since my discovery of the true definition of Therianthropy, I decided to make my first Therian pack (which was open to all sorts of Therians). This is actually where I met my current best friend, Calix. I'm not gonna go through every detail of what happened during the era of this pack but what I will say is there was some drama and we had to do the right thing which resulted in the loss of my "pack" entirely. But in the end, I realized who my pack truly was (Calix). Sure, maybe it was a small pack but it felt like home to me. An amount of time had passed since then and I became more knowledgeable of the Non-Human community through my Wolf friend, Calix. A lot of things happened but so far along my journey I have discovered more and more about non-humanity then when I started out. Most of my knowledge is accredited to Calix. At some point, he discovered the term "Transspecies" and eventually "Holothere" A.K.A. physical non human, which are two terms we now use as a part of our identity (most of us anyways).

All of the labels we currently use include Therian, otherkin, Holothere, Transspecies, and Non-Human canine (specifically a dog/wolf/werewolf).

At the moment, most of us identify as some type of canine.

What about you? Tell me your story, friend :)

WAIT IS THAT YOU SHOULD REST BY SPELLCASTING IN THE BG!?!?!?! I need to rant about this now.

This is absolutely how they met, Spellcasting is most positively the way they first really connected, Joy wanted to find some music for Anxiety to help with her, well, anxiety! Classical was too quiet, heavy metal was too loud (in the scary sense), but hyperpop/ breakcore/ that kinda stuff was absolutely perfect.

So one day, Joy walked up to Anxiety and was like, “Hey, there’s this artist I really like, and I think you’d like them too!” And then played Party at Club Bug.

Anxiety immediately leapt up out of her chair in excitement. “OH-EM-GEE! YOU LISTEN TO THEM TOO!?” She exclaimed, bouncing her leg excitedly.

“Er, yeah!! I can’t believe you already listen too!” Joy laughed, unable to contain a grin. Anxiety sat back down and pat the armrest, signaling for Joy to sit next to her. She ran over without hesitation, and they spent the rest of the night listening to the music and talking.

(Sorry if I got any details wrong I only watched the movie once and the first time I watch something I am more focused on the plot than the details)

I wish I never discovered this audio

I finally mustered up the courage to go watch inside out 2 for the first time and OH MAH STARS I am absolutely losing my mind anxiety is actually so babygirl I love her so much this movie will be my new hyperfixation for the next two months thank you for coming to my ted talk

Dewclaw.

I wish you were here

It’s so lonely among the stars…

There’s no backstory to this really but I tried to add this as a gif (as intended) and it said the file was too big so I had to go in and screen record it :(

For your consideration:

(Not sure what kind of each species you wanted so I just went generalized lol)

thinking of making a persona/truesona but i don’t have an idea how X[[ i thought mixing a lynx with a dog, alien, and a computer… how would that even work??

That one desert movie scene trope but instead of a lonely traveler on a camel with vultures circling overhead it’s a family in a car with hawks circling and it’s not desert it’s just summer

I think I might start making moodboards..

I’ve made a few already but am not sure what else to make lol

If I see any sort of prey that I didn’t see before, or something runs across my path then I am after that thing in a heartbeat, I barely even think..

The prey drive is insanely out of control sometimes :(

And, not really a toxic trait, I will go up to a dog, expecting them to treat me like a dog, and then they just look at me and walk away. Like- come back, friend, I thought we were bonding noooo!

ALTERHUMANS I AM SUMMONING YOU

let's start a chain

everyone reblog with your alterhuman toxic trait

mine is that I forget that I'm not actually the size of a cat, which usually ends up with me stuck in a box

Swimming!! Yippie!!!!

Imagine this

This stupid dog [me] runs up to you barks and asks to play

This dog is a little soggy but looks very happy about it

[Pls rb so more creatures can respond]

His lil hat droop in the last picture is going to be the end of me 💔 /pos

my friend gets pissed when i include scrooge mcduck in the conversation when she simps for david tennant's characters. like girl, why?

look at him

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY YALL!!!

HAHA! I MANAGED TO POST THIS B4 MIDNIGHT! YIPPIEEE!!

Here’s one without the background for all who were curious

Rebloging because this pup is dreading the heat :(

For all of the northerners that stood up for Texas during our freeze and said, "Don't make fun of them, they've never dealt with this before. Their infrastructure isn't made for snow and freezing."

This one is for you.

Where I live 108°F with 80% humidity with no wind is normal.

Pacific North West is dealing historic best waves 35-40°C or 95-105°F.

First of all. Don't make fun of them for bitching about the heat. Just like Texas isn't built for a freeze and our pipes burst, Pacific North West isn't built for heat and a lot of their homes don't have AC.

If you live somewhere with a high humidity like 80+ HUMIDITY IS NOT YOUR FRIEND. The "humidity makes it feel cooler" is a lie once it gets beyond a point.

If you live somewhere with a lower humidity, misters are nice to cool off outside.

Once you get over 90°F (32°C) a fan will not help you. It's just pushing around hot air. (I mean if you can't afford a small AC unit because they're expensive as hell, by all means a fan is better than nothing).

If you have pets, those portable AC units aren't safe. If your pets destroy the outtake thing, it'll leak CO2. Window units are safer.

Window AC units will let mosquitoes or other small bugs in. Sucks, but that's life.

Now is not the time to me modest. If you have to cover for religious reasons, by all means. If you don't, I've seen people wear short shorts and a swim top. It's not trashy if it keeps you from getting heat stroke.

If you do have to cover up for religious reasons, look for elephant pants or something similar. They're made with a breathable material.

Shade is better than no shade, but that shit it just diet sun after some point. Don't think shade will save you from heat stroke.

I know the "drink your water" is a fun meme now, but if you're sweating excessively you need electrolytes. Drink Gatorade, Powerade, or Pedialite PLEASE. I don't care if you're fucking sitting in one spot all day. That shit WILL save you from heat stroke.

Most importantly. RESEARCH THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HEAT STROKE AND HEAT EXHAUSTION PLEASE!

If you're diabetic and can't drink Gatorade, mix water, fruit juice, and either lite salt or pink salt

If you can afford it, cover windows with thick curtains to insulate the house

If you have tile floors, lay on them with skin to tile contact. If you don't, laying your head on cool counters works too.

If the temperature where you're at is hotter than your body temperature, don't wear heat wicking clothing. Moisture wicking is safe though.

Check your medication labels. Many make you more susceptible to sun and heat

-Room temperature water will get into your body faster. This is something I learned doing marching band in high summer in Georgia, and it saved all of our asses. Sip it, don't gulp it, especially if you're getting into the red; same goes for whatever fluid you're drinking. And just in general drink during the day.

-If you are moving from an air conditioned space to an un-air conditioned space, if at all possible try to make the shift gradual. When my dad and I were working outside and in un-ac houses a few years ago, he'd turn the air down to low in the truck about ten-fifteen minutes before we got where we were going. This way your body doesn't go from low low temps to high temps. S'bad for you.

-If you can, keep your lights off during the day. Light bulbs may not generate a lot of heat, but the difference is noticeable when it gets hot enough. I literally only turn my bedroom light on in the evening when it gets too dark.

Don't be afraid to just like... pour water on yourself if you need to. The evaporation will cool you off.

Put your hand to the cement for 15 seconds. If you can't handle the heat, it'll burn your dog's paws. Don't let them walk on it.

Dogs with flat faces are more prone to heat stroke. Don't leave them out unsupervised.

Frozen fruit is delicious in water.

Wet/Cold hat/handkerchief on your head/neck will help you stay cool.

Pickle juice is great for electrolytes! You can even make pickle juice Popsicles!

Heat exhaustion is more, "drink water and get you cooled off." Heat stroke is more "Oh my god call 911."

Image Description provided by @loveize

[Image description: an infographic showing the difference between heat exhaustion and heat stroke. The graphic is labeled "Heat Dangers: First Warning." Signs of heat exhaustion: faint or dizzy, excessive sweating, cool, pale, clammy skin, rapid, weak pulse, muscle cramps. If you think you or someone else may be experiencing heat exhaustion, get to a cool, air-conditioned place, drink water if conscious, and take a cool shower or use cold compress. Signs of heat stroke: throbbing headache, no sweating, red, hot, dry skin, rapid, strong pulse, may lose consciousness. If you think you or someone else may be experiencing heat stroke, call 911.

Be safe.
