Aaa Tysm Yeah!!! I Tried Draping A Coat Over My My Shoulders And It Feels Really Nice :7 I Also Made

aaa tysm yeah!!! i tried draping a coat over my my shoulders and it feels really nice :7 i also made myself a little bow ribbon to wear in my hair, maybe i’ll make myself fingerless gloves to feel like i have feathers :D

i’ve been doing some more thinking and i realized when i wear my dark grey tights it looks like i have birdy legs :0 i could also sew myself a pointy black covid mask to look like a beak, and maybe i could also wear a hair accessory to feel like i have a crest? maybe a bow or a bandana,,

i also really want to grow out my nails so they’re nice and pointy :> i just gotta figure out how to grow them in a healthy way

i could even figure out a way to have some kind of tail accessory,, i’ve yet to see too much about gear for birdkin since it’s usually tails/ears/etc for canine and feline kin (NOT HATING AT ALL maybe i’m just a little jealous lmao /lh)

Carolina parakeet Was looking at pictures of extinct birds yesterday and then started to picture myself as one briefly and I still feel it a bit today. They were the parrot with the northernmost range and therefore were sometimes snow parrots! Native to the southeastern United States, they even lived in my state of Kansas. I feel a connection to them and I love them a lot and it was fun drawing this! The tree is supposed to be a beech tree, since this is a tree they enjoyed eating the seeds from. They were also cavity nesters, this one found an old abandoned woodpecker cavity to keep warm in during an unexpected snowfall!

anybody who looks like this hmu

any advice for being therian with dissociation/depersonalization?

so i realized very recently that i'm otherkin and therian through an IRL friend, and it's my understanding that many therians have "phantom limbs". i think it's really cool and i really want to identify more with it and my animal identity but i'm really worried it'll make my dissociation worse. i have PTSD and i already struggle with perceiving my body as non-human (in a bad way), and i also happen to have non-wing related psychosomatic pain ^^'

i know it's different for everyone, but personally i do want to identify at least partially as human someday for my health. i'm just hoping to get some advice on how to go about therianthropy in a healthy way, so my DMs are open! this community seems really awesome and accepting and i really hope to participate :3

i also figured out this little hand thing if any other birdkin wanna try it! i wanted to stim by tapping my desk like i’ve seen cockatoos do and realized i could mimic the kind of toe shape they have. obviously you could alter it for different species!

bird friend I caw at you

IM HONORED….
