NEW ANIMAL IDENTITY TERM. ANIFAUX. COINED BY US (k9s)
ANIFAUX - Someone who has some sort of deep rooted connection to an animal(s). These individuals feel out of place in their body, and that they would fit better as a species other than human. Their behavior, love style, and personality might reflect this behavior naturally. Anifauxies may have had a deep rooted connection to their anifauxtype since childhood, or could've discovered recently. They differ from therians and otherkin in the way that they know they are human and don't have any religious beliefs around their identity, but that feels fundamentally wrong. Their mental state more often than not reflects their anifauxtype, and though they may shift to a heavier anifaux regression, the constant animalistic view on the world never truly goes away.
if you relate, find out your anifauxtype below
How does this differ from Therians?
We made this because Therianthropy/Nonhuman/Otherkin just didn't feel right. Some Therians aren't religious, and I can see how other nonhuman identities are similar! We just made this term because those didn't feel right. It feels as if god accidentally put an animals brain in our body (though we don't believe that, it's just a heavy identity feeling.) It's definitely something to do with our mental disorders that make it hard to socialize with people. But Dogs? Cats? Befriended instantly. We love like a dog, our physical behavior reflects canines, yet we know we're human. But "human" is just wrong.

Is there a gender about feeling like a mother wolf because
I feel like it but I'm not sure if it's part of my otherkinnity and I feel like gender is just something that describes who I am as a being partially
If there won't be any I'll probably try to make one 😭😭
Nah all I can find are shewolfgenders and questionable ai images of werewolfs with chests which is not what I need at all... D:

I don't feel like giving it a separate post so. Motherwolfnohum (bc it's a associated with feeling nonhuman) or Motherwolfive. Aggressive and non-aggressive versions. Yeah that's it that's the whole post

I'm sorry but this notebook gives off dog therian vibes (and I got it before I even really knew I was one)
"How to bark like a pro" "How to be a good boy" "Best places to nap" you're so right dog notebook
Life would have been so much easier if people from my and alike countries knew what a quadrober is (my rant under this, I didn't want to jumpsacre someone with this full thing on their fyp)
I'm a furry and otherkin and I might like to wear stuff in which I can feel more close to my kintype BUT I DONT WALK ON ALL FOURTH FOR FUXK'S SAKE 😭😭😭 No I don't bark at people because I'm a therian, and just because I don't act the way you expect them to doesn't mean that I'm not one. This is just so dumb
Trying to explain to my friend that thinking you're an animal is called theriantropy but she shuts me with "then why do quadrobers think that they are animals" and "well some kid ran under a car thinking they were a deer" LIKE SHUT THE FUXK UP PLEASE HOW IS THAT RELEVANT 😭😭😭
Probably a reason why I won't feel comfortable stating the fact that I connect to being a dog to my friends and mutuals who are non-english speaking and will just look like a weird ass person to them instead of having them understand that I'm weird because I don't think I was meant to be a human hello?? "But you don't act like-" and you don't act like a stupid person but yet still you are one
being a canine is a spectrum
edit: the post this was inspired by
HAII :3 For the alterhuman ask thingy:
🌌 ("when was your awakening?")
🌝 ("how does your identity affect your everyday life?")
🌚 ("do you experience shifts? If yes, what kind of shifts do you experience most often?")
HAIHAIHAI THAKS FOR QUESTIONS,
1. I'm not sure what's considered awakening, I've always felt partially as an animal of some sort form childhood and to this day (never was really stable though, I thought of myself as a cat, seal and ram through time and found connections with each one of them). But I've started considering myself more canine/dog-related 2 years ago I think (but hiding/not paying attention to it bc my at the time partner had a fear of dogs) and later on I found a term otherkin/otherheart/therian and it just fit me so well and helped me feel more connection to my otherkin side :D
2. I think it's the same like with every other alterhumans? Sometimes I might feel a need to make loud noises (like barking but also other ones too), go to forests (I don't have any forests nearby though :( ), whenever I get happy and/or excited I wag my leg or body like it's my tail as other alterhumans do to,,, also I think that it affects my type of affection? Just wanting to playfully bite and lick (like dog's small kisses) a person that I like... Idk what else to add, that all sounds kinda cringe but at least I'm free and it doesn't hurt anyone so let's gooo /pos
3. I don't think that I expirience shifts? But there were quite a few times where my body was hurting in a way that it didn't feel like it belonged or was in a way that it should be, or had a sudden feeling that I'm not home (even though I was literally home) (unless all of it could be considered shifts /gen)
Sorry for my bad grammar, I should probably finally work on it someday 😭
