Tharian - Tumblr Posts
So this is gonna probably sound a little ventey (or however you spell that), but this is something on my mind.
Tharians deserve support and to be treated like their valid. It doesn't hurt anyone and shouldn't be treated badly because it's "cringe." I'm not a tharian, but I am a furry. Our communities do get conflated and, unfortunately, share the same stigmas. For that reason, I have a lot of respect for tharians. I may not fully understand it, but hell, I don't need to understand to be respectful and supportive.
I pride myself on being a safe space for ALL minorities. That includes sperital minorities like tharians, otherkin, and alter-humans. As long as a group doesn't hurt someone or force stereotypes (ahem, trans race bs), I'm in their damn corner.
Love you, alter-human folk! Keep your heads up and keep doing what you do ❤️
The process of making Coffee into a mask ^^
Yes, I used a cigarette box as a means of supporting the mask. Sue me

There's something I've been thinking about lately, and that's... if I'm non-human on some aspect. I look at the community, and there's parts I relate to. Not feeling 100% human, feeling heavily connected to animals, and at times the disphoria.
I've had this thing that whenever I picture myself without the limitations of what my body is, I always see myself as an animal. That's what I want to be, I want to be some kind of animal. Be that be Coffee, or Savv. If I didn't have to be human, I would be one of them. When I wear stuff that connects me to them its the most comfortable I've been in a very long time. I get these feelings of having cat ears, having a tail, having paws, and I dont understand it. My body has always felt so limited and that's not just because I'm Non-binary. If I could have my ideal body without needing to worry about anything, I would *be* Savv or Coffee. I was told that I should have been born an animal before and it's felt strangel... good.
The reason I'm unsure is that, I don't know if that's just a furry thing. I don't get shifts, I don't have those dreams about being an animal. At least, not very often. I can't confidently say that I am an animal. Just like I can't confidently say I am human. I know you can't choose to be non-human, it's something you just are. I don't know what I am in this department and I just feel very... confused.
You know what I want? I want to make conservatives uncomfortable with my presence. I want to be so visibly queer that they can't hide how uncomfortable my very existence makes them. Why? They want me gone for being queer no matter what, might as well have fun with it!
I'm a non-binary, lesbian, otherkin, therian, furry, who wares the fact that I survived my own personal hell on my skin. Me being alive and hidden makes them angry, so I'm going to be alive, loud, and seen to make sure thier pissed off. For myself, those who are like me, and those who were like me. My queerness makes me proud. My struggles do as well. I won't stop being loud until I'm dead. Even then, I'll make sure my voice echoes.
