I'm finding some good posts this morning!

Okay! Id love to go into more detail of what being transspecies means! Educating people on the topic is one of my favorite things. So transspecies was a phrase coined around the mid-late 90s on were-forums. It indicates a more "serious" identity than therian/otherkin, though the label can be used in combination with them! There's multiple reasons why someone might ID this way: It fits them the best and their nonhuman experience, a political label to reclaim dehumanization, (through things such as being disabled - people who are often treated as "less than human"), or simply the desire to transition to ur kintype/to a less then human form. Yes! The next part! This identity DOES call for transition! There's a plethora of ways you can do this -- lets start for the non permanent ones. The first and simplest would be social transitioning ! This could be asking the people around you to refer to you as nonhuman, and openly using another name that you associate with your nonhuman side. Another method is gear! Paws, masks, fangs, those little limb extenders !! all of it !! Anything that makes you physically appear more nonhuman Now onto permanent mods,, there's stuff like tattoos to give your body scales and texture,, or just simply paw tattoos to show you ID this way,, Theres also skin insertions and all that jazz. This part is something im not super educated on The most common definition of transspecies is "bending the cultural boundaries of what it means to be human."

Thank you for explaining this to me! I really appreciate it. And I might even myself identify with this label more-so than therian. I will definitely do some research/soul searching. I always always always love having new info about the community and being able to use my platform to share it so THANK YOU!!!

Errrmmm..... What?

People barking n howling at me and I'm just there like. Why. How do you think barking at me will intimidate me. Do you think I'll come and roll over at your feet? You can't even bark properly. Just... Shut up before you embarrass yourself further.

One very unimpressed doggy. Get some original insults. I genuinely find it funny that you've ended up barking while trying to insult me for being a doggy

Anyway they were misgendering me too but yeeeahhh try not to think about the part that actually offends me.

Nevermind I've reported it someone else can deal with it now.

Since everyone seems to like this and I loved making it, we have options...

I made a Scottish deerhound mask! The base is paper plates, the fur is from an old costume, and I lined it with old sheets! The only bit that isn't easy to get is the nose (mouldable plastic from Amazon). It just goes to show what you can make with stuff around the house!

Mask tutorial part one!

Step 1: get scissors and card

Step 2: cut this shape, the rough size of the top half of your face

The width is how wide the mask will be, the cut out triangle in the middle is where your nose will go

Step 3: Cut out this shape for the muzzle

Step 4: construct the muzzle. You can use either tape or hot glue here.

It should end up looking like this:

Now we are going to go back to the flat bit and cut some eyes.

Step 5: get a felt tip pen. Take glasses and stuff off your face. Put the card on your face and use the felt tips to trace around your eyes while feeling like an idiot

Step 6: cut out the eyes around the bad guidelines you drew

Step 7: attaching the muzzle. You can use hot glue or tape, and depending on how much you squish it, you can make the muzzle wide or thin. Anyway glue/ tape the muzzle around the nose hole but preferably not over the eyes.

That's it for the base! I'll make another tutorial on how to fur it and put the strings on, but that's it for now!
