Theriform [Official Coining Post]

Theriform

Adjective (can be applied as a noun in certain phrasing, see examples)

From θηρίον (thēríon) [diminutive of θήρ thḗr, “wild beast”] and μορφή (morphe) ["shape"/"figure"/"look"].

Definition:

A theriform animal is one which was born into a body that is typical/expected of it's species and observable as such by everyone, with species-typical levels of sapience/intelligence and whose behaviour is unaltered by being born into a human body/raised in a form perceived as human.

It is not the 'opposite' of therian despite similar etymology but is instead to be viewed as a complimentary term to therian, nonhuman, alterhuman, otherkin etc as it exists to specify certain details of a species whilst not invalidating the identities of those who are not theriform. It is made to replace potentially invalidating phrases like 'bio(logical) animal' or 'real animal'.

It is not an identity label and therefore has no flag or symbol and does not need one. Do not create these things please, or use the term to describe yourself on a personal level.

Alternative versions for non-animals could include: floraform, nat(ur)form, techform, fictoform, feyform, voidform, starform, divineform etc

Examples:

"Lol it's so funny being a cat and having a theriform cat as a pet we're both just kitties vibing but with different body shapes."

"Just because they're the same species as you does not mean you are able to take care of wild theriforms."

"The fact that there aren't that many theriforms of my species is so saddening."

"I wanna do quads alongside a pack of theriform wolves so bad!"

"I am transspecies, here is what I do/what I want to do to look more theriform."

"I wonder if theriforms get species dysphoria?"

remember that being an alterhuman is not a bad thing and that it never will be

Shoutout to all my fellow American nonhumans, therians, otherkins, alterhumans, and everything in between. Times are scary, but this is for all of us when I say that this will not be the death of us.

Donald Trump is not the first to try controlling a country. Over thousands of years, kings and empires have risen and fallen. They all thought the same thing their predecessors did- that they were smarter, wiser, better, than those who came before them and that they would succeed.

They never lasted. Even if the soldiers today have better weapons than the guards back then, well, so do we. Ten thousand peasants revolting against a leader is still ten thousand against one, and inevitably those kings fell.

We, as alterhumans, as something distinctly other, have always been around. Some of those peasants may have been warhorses, farm dogs, snakes in the grass. They did not kill us then and they cannot kill us now.

History is not a circle, it doesn't repeat. It rhymes, creates a spiral that is ever expanding but follows the same path.

We have lived longer than the spiral. We have survived and we will continue to survive. This is not the end of us. We will fight as we always have, with bared teeth and snapping jaws, and we will live.

Fuck fascism.

just found a presentation on wolves i made recreationally when i was 8 years old

If there's one thing that truly bothers me about my nonhumanity, it's that if I am emotionally overwhelmed it shows as aggression. There were some people on the bus today that were... acting questionable, and my friend had to physically put their hand on my shoulder because I was halfway to snarling at the guy.

Of course, obligatory "They don't know there's a creature on the bus" joke, because I do think it's funny lol

Now, in hindsight, I was probably more annoyed than usual because of an argument I had beforehand, and lack of food. But I could feel every one of my types' warnings going off at once (which is a very odd feeling, to have like five different ear shifts going at once) and I wanted it to show. If I am hostile, I want the humans around me to know and be afraid. I'm also aware I cannot win a fight to save my life because I am short and not even remotely a fighter.

I had a point with this

Hm.

That's about it, honestly. I argued with someone I care about and I feel bad now, and I still want to maul someone. I'm going to go curl up in my nest probably

i feel bonita

reposts ok!

dni if you know me irl

do not sexualize

[cadavercatt]

Exploring your therian side through kink is valid.

I am so absolutely sick of seeing extremely sex negative discourse within the therian community.

Just gonna say this all outloud for my own sanity:

It's okay to be a therian who is into primal play.

It's okay to be a therian who is in to pet play.

Packers and dildos based on non-human genitalia is affirming gear.

Anal plug tails are affirming gear.

Pup hoods are affirming gear.

Collars, leashes, harnesses, and other restraints are affirming gear.

I don't care how sex adverse an individual is. Your preferences do not get to supercede the completely harmless things that others can do.

Me and my friend were public gearing at the mall today and these group of alt teenagers started barking at us and I immediately was like whatever

THEN MY FRIEND BARKED BACK. SHE BARKED LOUDLY TOO. SHE HAS ANXIETY ALSO LIKE HELLO WHERE DID THAT COME FROM?!

[cadavercatt]

I tried that thing where you're casually open about your identity, without ever actually trying to explain otherkinity, and it fucking worked??

Went out for lunch with a guy I've only met twice, and he asked about my bison pendant. I just said that if I were an animal I'd be a bison, I relate to their resilience and stubbornness, it's kinda like a spiritual thing.

Later in the day, he commented about my not wearing a jacket in December and I jokingly asked if he'd ever seen a bison get cold (and then said something about my ADHD meds making me overheat).

And wouldn't you know it, a while later he himself made a joke about me being a bison, completely unprompted.

Incredible. I don't know what I was afraid of, I should've tried this way sooner!!

hey pack

Here's another list to help you explore and connect with your therianthropy on a deeper level, with some fresh activities, crafts, and prompts tailored to embrace particularly a wolf species.

Activities

• Sound and Howling Practice:

• Record yourself howling at different times of day or under different moods. Reflect on how each "howl" feels—how does it release emotion or connect you to your wolf side?

• Create a "howl playlist" with music that stirs your therian instincts (e.g., nature sounds, drumming, atmospheric pieces).

• Wolf Senses Exercise:

• Spend time in a quiet natural setting focusing on your senses:

• Sight: Notice movement, light, and color details like a hunting wolf.

• Smell: Bring herbs or natural objects to engage your scent sense.

• Hearing: Focus on distant sounds and rhythms in nature, like rustling leaves or bird calls.

• Journal about what you notice when you "switch on" your senses like a wolf.

• Therian Nesting or Den Building:

• Create a cozy “den” space at home using blankets, pillows, and objects that feel lupine or natural to you.

• Spend time there journaling, napping, or meditating on your wolf self.

• Tracking Practice:

• Learn about animal tracks, especially wolves, and go on a walk looking for signs of animals (tracks, fur, disturbed earth).

• Alternatively, make your own wolf paw prints in mud or sand to explore how it feels to leave your mark.

• Scavenger Hunt for Natural Items:

• Gather nature objects that feel wolf-like: feathers, stones, sticks, or bones (ethically sourced). Arrange them into a display or altar dedicated to your therian self.

• Moon Rituals:

• During full moons, sit outside, howl, or meditate while reflecting on the moon’s importance to you.

• Track your emotions during different moon phases. Does the waxing or waning affect your therian instincts?

• Animal Behavior Study:

• Watch documentaries or videos about wolves, paying attention to their body language and pack dynamics.

• Mimic their movements or postures in your own space—practice stalking, sitting alert, or playful bowing.

• Wild Running or Walking Meditation:

• Go on a mindful walk or run where you imagine yourself as a wolf. Pay attention to your posture, your breath, and how your body feels in motion.

• Natural Meal Exploration:

• Make a "prey-inspired" meal. Use ingredients that feel raw, earthy, or natural (e.g., a protein-packed dish with mushrooms, lentils, or root vegetables). Reflect on the primal satisfaction of eating mindfully.

• Dream Exploration:

• Keep a dream journal and focus on wolf-related dreams or animal symbolism. Reflect on their meanings and what your subconscious might be telling you.

Crafts

• Wolf Mask or Headdress:

• Create a wolf mask using papier-mâché, clay, or fabric to wear during rituals or journaling sessions. Decorate it with natural colors, fur textures, or paint patterns that reflect your inner wolf.

• Therian Symbols and Totems:

• Carve or paint a personal symbol that represents your therianthropy on wood, rocks, or clay. Carry it as a token or talisman.

• Custom Scent Blend:

• Make your own wolf-inspired scent using essential oils. Focus on earthy, woodsy, or musky tones like cedarwood, pine, sage, and patchouli. Use it during meditation or den-building.

• Fur and Tail Crafting:

• Sew or craft a faux fur tail to wear around your home or during personal therian activities. Focus on the ritual of creating something tied to your wolf identity.

• Bone or Stick Art:

• Use ethically sourced bones, sticks, or driftwood to create art that feels primal—like wall hangings, carvings, or sculptures.

• Therian Journal or Grimoire:

• Craft a dedicated journal for your therian reflections. Decorate it with nature elements (pressed leaves, paw print stamps, fur textures).

• Paw Print Artwork:

• Paint or draw paw prints on canvas, paper, or clay. Use them as decorations for your den or altar.

• Howl-Inspired Poetry or Music:

• Write poems, songs, or chants inspired by your wolf self. Incorporate themes of the moon, wilderness, longing, or pack connection.

• Wolf Vision Board:

• Create a vision board using images, words, and symbols that reflect your therianthropy and wolf self. Include wolf conservation efforts, moon phases, or natural scenes that call to you.

• Nature Bracelet or Necklace:

• String together natural elements like stones, wooden beads, or wolf-like charms into a wearable piece of jewelry to symbolize your therian identity.

Journal Prompts

• Primal Connection:

• When do you feel most connected to your wolf self? Is it during certain times of day, seasons, or activities?

• The Call of the Wild:

• Describe a time when you felt a strong urge to “return to the wild.” What triggered it, and how did you handle it?

• Senses and Instincts:

• Which of your wolf senses feels strongest (sight, smell, hearing, etc.)? How do you use it in everyday life?

• Emotions and Shifts:

• How does your wolf identity help you process human emotions like anger, loneliness, or joy?

• What does a phantom shift or mental shift feel like for you?

• Pack Reflection:

• Who in your life feels like “pack” to you? What roles do you and others play?

• Do you ever feel like an outsider among humans? How do you cope with that feeling?

• Wild Identity:

• What does “wildness” mean to you, and how do you nurture it in your day-to-day life?

• Symbolism of the Wolf:

• How do you embody the symbolism of the wolf—strength, loyalty, intuition, or freedom?

• What lessons has the wolf taught you about yourself?

• Therian Storytelling:

• Write a story or scene where you fully experience life as a wolf in the wild. What do you see, hear, and feel?

• Human vs. Wolf Balance:

• How do you balance your therian instincts with human life? Are there parts of yourself you suppress or embrace?
