DO NOT POST YOUR ADDRESS ONLINE TO MEET OTHER THERIANS

I have seen kids ages ranging from 9-13 ish post their ages, faces, and addresses in the hopes of meeting other therians. DO NOT DO THIS!!! Please for the love of everything don't do this, don't post anything publicly, no one should know anything personal about you.

"Well I want irl therian friends!"

You can make irl friends differently, try drawing the delta on your hand or wearing a delta necklace. I know it's not easy to find other therians, but don't post anything about you.

You could be hurt, assaulted, robbed, ect. Bad things can and WILL happen. Be safe online please!

5 WAYS TO HELP WITH SPECIES DYSPHORIA AS A THERIAN (with and without gear)

- please note that most of these are focused mainly on being a wolf therian, but i'll try my best to make it more inclusive to others.

1 •

my personal favorite, wolf quest! this one does cost money, so this isn't for those who don't have the money/don't already have the game. it really helps me feel more connected to who i am. you find a mate, raise pups, hunt prey, defend your den and pack from predators, and there's even a multiplayer option for you to play with your friends. :o)

(and yes, you can customize what your wolf looks like. all NPC wolves in the game have different personalities for immersion, including you, your pups, and your mate)

please note that the game is still in development! they plan to add a saga where you can live constantly with your pack and continue with new generations each year (and no, you don't HAVE to pass away). you can toggle whether your mate dies or not, if you play on easy you can avoid your pups getting sick by reloading saves if you're sensitive to that, there are constantly new updates being brought out that make the game feel more realistic each time and the development team are incredibly sweet. if you have the money i highly recommend this game, wolf therian or otherwise.

documentaries. a wonderful way to not only feel more connected to your theriotype(s), but to also learn more information about them! my favorite thing to do when i'm stressed is to wrap myself in warm blankets, turn off my lights and put on a documentary to calm myself down. bonus points if you DO have gear to wear during this, if not that's okay too.

i also like to have my plush friends join me so i can act like they're my pack :o) it's a nice way to feel less lonely as i watch. this also works if you're a domestic cat therian, have your plushies be your clouder! no matter what animal you are though, never feel less valid for wanting your stuffies with you during this. it doesn't matter if your theriotype isn't a social animal in the wild.

if you're an aquatic therian of some kind, i think a good idea would be taking your phone in the bathroom with you and setting it up outside of the tub to watch whilst you're in the water! (or shower if you don't have one, you can also use a kiddie pool outside in the warmer months). PLEASE remember to be safe during this though, if you worry about getting your phone wet then instead find some blue blankets and pretend it's the ocean!

going outside to where your theriotype resides in naturally. of course this won't be for everyone, since a lot of the time trips can end up being quite costly. something that i like to do is go to my local forest whenever i have the time to do so! i find it refreshing to sit by the stream and play in the water with my mate.

if you're a domestic dog therian, ask to go on a walk around the neighborhood with your friend! (or hell, go by yourself if it's safe enough, you're a free dog, you can do what you want). even as a wild animal i still enjoy this, so don't feel ashamed if you're ALSO a wild animal who wants to do things that domestic dogs do. it doesn't make you any less undomesticated.

if you're an animal that's used to deserts, i recommend going to where you can access sand (e.g. a sandbox at a playground, asking for a small sand tray to play in as a gift, a day out to the beach if you live near one). i also find that dried dirt that's very damaged can feel sort of similar to sand!

if you can't go outside for whatever reason, then there's always ways to make your bedroom feel similar to where you would be more comfortable. if your theriotype lives in dens like caves and underneath trees, make a blanket fort and pretend it's your home! if your theriotype rests in a burrow, make a tunnel with some blankets from the top of your bed all the way down to under it (if that doesn't work, pretend that anything below your bed is underground, and anything above your bed is the surface).

4 •

dressing in clothes that are the same color as your theriotype. i have this fluffy hat with ears that feels very affirming for my species dysphoria, paired with my favorite dark sweaters, warm pants and my tail. if you don't have any gear, don't worry! you don't need to have any to complete an outfit. sometimes clothing textures can also be affirming. for example if you have smooth skin like a whale, a bathing suit can feel similar to blubber. (if you have gender dysphoria, i recommend either full body bathing suits, or wearing pants on top of it and a jacket to help yourself feel more affirmed). i wear fluffy clothes because my fur is fluffy :o) it helps me, personally, but this might not be the same for everyone!

5 •

studying the behavior of your theriotype and trying your best to imitate it to the best of your abilities with the body you have. this can be as simple as copying how they act around each other as a family (for example wolves who are mates will rest their chins on each other to display affection), and as difficult as trying to vocalize what sounds your theriotype makes.

if you wanted to try the latter, i recommend looking at vocal exercises online before as a lot of creature sounds can and will strain your voice, i promise you that warming up your chords will not only help you sound clearer, it'll ensure that it won't take as much effort to do!

Guys i think im like a werewolf/dog thing?

not like human turning into wolf werewolf, like permanent cant change back werewolf

it matches some my shifts almost %100 of the time and explains why i feel so, ig, werewolfy? and awkward

like im a weredog, it can be german shepherd to like just a brown werewolf thing (sorta explanation)

i have an old post that make a lot more sense if i put like werewolf/dog label on it (at least to me lolz) i also love doin werewolfy posturing when walkin n stuff. euphoric :3c

but yah just thinking about that, not sure tho, time for some more research!! TIPS ARE APPRECIATED TOO!!!

[im-not-just-physical]

is it normal to be a bee yet feeling tail and ears that are like those kemonomimi have???

[4sqadia-8anthen]

since our revelation of our dragon kintype we are a bit confused

we don’t know if we got our past identity wrong or if this is something completely new

Our past kintype:

iridescent blue

yellow/tan smooth belly scales

fiery orange eyes w/ slit pupils

medium straight horns

no nasal horn

feathered wings

feathers along body

oasis habitat

tiger sized

slim

What we know of our new kintype:

unsure of colors

plated belly scales

more rounded pupils

flowing curved horns

nasal horn

bat-like wings

no feathers

temperate general habitat

unsure of size

more meaty

but we dont know any of the colors, which is freaking us out we hate not knowing things i just want to know who I am :(

anybeing know a quick easy way that we’d be able to figure this out? its just causing us a lot of distress

[archiethepuppyboy]

Ok guys bit of alterhuman help here plz. I’m looking for a specific label, idk if it’s already a term or coined by someone but if yes plz inform me and if no I might coin it myself. But it’s basically when your a cladotherian but specifically kin one part of the class of animals, while still being all of them in general. Like you would be a canine clado but be specifically attached to, say, German Shepards or wolfs, something like that. Because I feel like I might be a domestic/small cat cladotherian but I feel like I specifically kin black cats and maybe orange cats but I still feel like I’m also yknow like just a cat in general aswell. Plz helppp

[itsfuckingrats]

to all fellow quadrobists on here, are there any tips for a beginner quadrobist who suffers from scoliosis? i have a hard time getting the “correct form,” keeping my back flat with my legs bent while walking and such. i also have very weak legs and smaller lungs than usual, so my legs get shaky and i have a hard time catching my breath. </3

any help is appreciated… i am aware of the “keep your fingers curled” and “bend your arms when landing a jump,” and really any of those basic tips that are literally anywhere. i am just asking for tips as someone who is bodily weak. i just wanna be able to do quads so i can feel more connected to my ‘types. thank you <3

does anyone one have good youtubers/youtube videos to reccomend to watch to learn about therianthropy and it's history and things around that?? thanks!!

[tommies-stinky-paws]

yall should i get a new tail (fake fur, silicone base) to match the colour of a pair of ears i might possibly get in the future (close to my fur colour but not exact) or should i get a tail to match the majority of my outfits? (white or black) or should it be fun coloured (pink or blue or purple probably) or should it match my fur as closely as possible?

ive only got enough money for one theoretically (i did budget but idk groceries might go over) the seller seems to have a good reputation and the wag on em is almost exactly like jays boingy tails which ive been wanting for a while but are too expensive

DEAR DISABLED THERIANS.

a short positivity post to remind you all that you are loved, important and valued in not only the therian / alterhuman community, but in life. take care of yourselves.

to the therians who use canes and wheelchairs, you are no less of a mobile creature for needing an aid. whether your theriotype is a fish, a domestic cat or a wild canid — mobility aids are found in most, if not all, species out there due to the help from humans. if you had been born in the right body, you would be given the same sort of aid. i promise. it isn't shameful.

you have carpal tunnel and feel left out because you're a wolf who was born to run and hunt elk? that's great!! i bet you'd be great friends with this guy :0}

to the blind and / or deaf therians who are told that their theriotype simply wouldn't survive due to their blindness — this simply isn't true. there have been many cases of blind or deaf animals surviving, look at this wolf as an example! and bare in mind MOST cases of blindness are partial, but this old gal is pretty much FULLY blind, and she's doing fine. why wouldn't you?

to the therians who have some sort of learning disability, it does NOT make you an idiot. i tend to see a lot of critters with stereotypically intelligent animals (think elephants, border collies, etc) as their theriotypes and feel worried due to their disability. you aren't dumb, you aren't "mentally not there", you aren't any of the mean things you've been called throughout your life. there ARE animals with learning disabilities, you would not die in the wild for having one just the same as you would not die in a domestic household for having one (or many)

and to those who have any other disabilities that i didn't mention in this short post, you are enough. you don't have to prove your therianthropy to anyone. if someone ever insists that you can't possibly be your theriotype because you are disabled? ignore them, they're lying and just trying to make you feel terrible about yourself. it's hard being disabled, it's hard waking up in pain and never not being NOT in pain, it's hard knowing that there are folks out there that'd demean you just for being disabled, it's hard needing mobility aids and not being able to afford them, it's hard when people think that you're stupid or less deserving of respect because they don't deem you "all there".

i love you all, those hardships are something that you shouldn't ever have to experience.

take good care of yourself if you can, and if you can't? get yourself that sweet treat you've been wanting, eat your favorite candy before a savory meal, give yourself a well deserved hug and watch your favorite show.

how long should i wait till I tell my gf im therian?

tw- one small mention of petplay but thats really it

do i wait a month or so? a couple months?

I'm still kinda new and im just afraid of being wrong about my identity and telling ppl the wrong thing on accident.

I've technically been part of the community for years, I would question therianthropy when i was younger and partially identified with it but i wasn't actively calling myself a therian. more so just a furry bc that was more acceptable in my mind at the time. it wasn't until i got into petplay with my gf that it clicked. but im still unsure, what if I'm wrong?

any tips on like how to know you're therian?

it sounds stupid typing it out but i need to know plsss ｡° ૮₍°´ᝪ`°₎ა °｡
