Not accepted as an animal,

Not accepted as a human.

Wish the humans would pick a struggle, honestly.

i can confidently say that no kintype of mine i have as strongly identified as my aereis fictotype rn. maybe it's because i'm playing my source material (creatures of sonaria) all day but i'm having almost non-stop phantom shifts

w my other kintypes i occasionally have shifts, for example i most strongly identify as an arctic wolf in social situations. but for my aereis fictotype its so much stronger its scary..

my identities wary a lot in intensity and i usually have some part of humanity left in me and only partially consider myself as nonhuman

but my aereis self has completely abolished the tiny bit of human i had left in me. now the only thing human about me is my physical body

confirming aereis from creatures of sonaria |ω･)ﾉ

i actually had a phase where i used the labels unicornkin and angelkin AND dragonkin and seeing this creature for the first time i instantly knew yep thats me cus its kinda all of those things combined

i'd still refer to myself as an angel and/or dragon cus aereis is kinda both lol

(creds are in pic)

i've had very specific ear phantom shifts for a long time at it fits perfectly w aereis species. tail and wings are also a common phantom shift i have

so glad i could finally figure it out (人´∀`) i'd love to be moots w other creatures from creatures of sonaria >:3

fuck this shit.

'therians don't actually identify as animals'. i do.

'therians still know we're human.' i don't

i am so sick and tired of being excluded from my own community. i'm sick of having to water down my identity for people who claim to be like me. i am a physical therian. i do not identify as human in any way. i don't give a fuck what people think of me, because i will never be like them. i will never be normal, i will never be human.

i'm sick of having to pretend.

therian culture is wanting long claws but not being able to grow your nails out bcuz of sensory issues </3

Being a cat therian while also having a cat as a pet is like “yeah we’re a bonded pair”

i've been vegan for almost 2yrs and as a human meat grosses me out but.... i still crave it in a wolf way. i wanna go hunting as a wolf and eat as a wolf.. but i do think its beautiful that because i'm partially human i can decide against meat cravings for all of my animal siblings' sake (U •́ .̫ •̀ U)

I'm not a girl, nor a boy.

I'm a thing, an animal, I'm not he or she, I'm "it".

NON-HUMAN AGENDER

when someone is agender, but not in a human way

[arcticghostt]

Therian culture is the need to bite things. My teeth tingle and itch let me chomp

[arcticghostt]

Therianthropy is so funny. Who let this creature into the house. Why is he making pasta

[arcticghostt]

Sometimes therian spaces just feel like "therians are valid! but-", then they give you an entire paragraph about why you aren't one of the "alright therians"

[arcticghostt]

therian dog culture is (in my experience) getting zoomies when you're excited and having to run around and bark in order to work through them

.

[arcticghostt]

Therian culture is are my legs too long or are my arms too short?

May you get lots of treats and chew toys this holiday

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!!
