An important lesson we can learn from plants, especially those considered "weeds", is that if a system does not work for you, grow around it.

Dandelions cannot thrive trapped under a concrete roof, so they twist and spread and sprout between the cracks.

Tree roots will find their way through foundations and bricks to feed the tree.

Brambles will climb up and over fences designed to keep them out, if what's beyond let's them grow.

A sunflower in a pot will face the sun, not the room it's owner so desperately wants it to decorate.

Do what you need to do to thrive, irregardless of what others think you should do.

”✨things to do when your a therian🐾” type of videos/posts lowkey piss me off. It’s always “draw your theriotype! Make therian masks! Jump over things! Build a den!” Not that there’s anything wrong with doing these things obviously but they’re so annoying to me because they just say literally the exact same things every time, the exact same, basic, stereotypical “tiktok therian” activities. And I doubt that any alterhumans who are bored will see these posts and think “oh!! I’ve never thought of that! How fun and exciting, I’ll go do these activities now!”

Anyways, if you have any “things for therians to do” suggestions I’d love to see them in reblogs

Dog like behavior I naturally have

☀️🌈🐾 ☀️🌈🐾 ☀️🌈🐾 ☀️🌈🐾 ☀️

Eating really fast, absolutely slurping down my food

No spatial awareness whatsoever I have been stopped from walking into the street so many times

I always feel so bad whenever I hear a “no” or do something wrong on accident

I LIVE TO PLEASE

yes I want to go on a little walk

Yes I am going to chase the squirrels on campus when we go on a little walk

I love to sit on the floor by ppls feet

Curling up in my bed in a dog like fashion, paws covering face

BADDD separation anxiety

Constantly looking back at ppl while walking to make sure they are still there (I need a leash smh)

The head tilt and wide eyes combo when listening

Loveeee physical touch neeeddd to be pet

Wiggling when excited

Absentmindedly chewing on pencils and pens

Head butting ppl for attention

I’m actually extremely sensitive to smell. I smell everything before I eat it to know if it’s going to make me sick. I can’t where other people’s close or use their blankets if it doesn’t smell right. I am very picky when picking out perfumes and body scrubs and other stuff like that.

Head snapping at any noise

Digging in the dirt with sticks

Hello!! Got any tips for dragon theriotypes? Or anything SMC related? (He wanted me to ask this for him!!) :>>

Hello hello! I can do dragon theriotypes for sure! I can only do one at a time, you can always come back to ask for SMC {I think that is shadow milk cookie? Correct me if im wrong ^^} Another note, one of my friends who is dragonkin is helping me a tad with this post! {His tumblr is @theemeralddragonking} Without further ado, lets get on with the tips ^^ 1} Depending on what kind of dragon you are, i got tips for food! Some dragons eat meat, others crystals, others fish, i think some MAYBE eat plants? Not too sure on the plants part, but im 100% sure on the rest! Now i am aware one simply can not EAT crystals, but i got an alternative to this! Try rock candy! Or gummy crystal candy. Depending if ya want a crunch or not, rock candy is colorful and crunchy! While gummy crystal candy looks like crystals, but is gummy and not crunchy usually. When it comes to meat and fish, !!!DO NOT EAT THESE RAW!!! Find them cooked, rare, jerkeyed, or eat sushi! 2} As for collecting things, i know some dragons do this as well! Not all but some. Try collecting crystals, or anything that suits yer fancy. Could be anything from shiny, to just collecting hobbies that bring you joy! 3} Try wearing the colors of what dragon you are! Also look into fishnet gloves for a scale like texture! There is also a thing called scale mail, albite expensive to my understanding, but you can buy scale mail gloves if ya save up for it! 4} Now as for wings, not all dragons have wings, but some do! You can either use a blanket to simulate a silluoitte of having wings, or buying fursuit wings! Or attack wings to like a backpack of some kind. If yer more of the wyvern, try wearing things with baggy sleeves to emulate that of wings. 5} If ya have access to one, try swinging on swings to feel like flying! Or ride roller-coasters if yer comfortable with that and are able too! 6} Try practicing dragon vocals! If yer able! 7} Try drawing yerself or making edits of yerself, or making masks! You can also request/commission others to do this for you! I personally havent seen many dragon masks and would love to see one ngl. 8} Try buying fursuit dragon tails! Or buying hats with horns! Or headband horns! 9} There are 3d printed dragons that are really cool and id recommend getting one, some come with a little egg for you to store one in. 10} Collect dragon things that look like yerself, such as plushies or figures. Or make yer own stuff! 11} Try getting claw gloves or gloves that have attachable claws! 12} Try playing dragon games! I know there are a few on roblox, such as dragon's life! I bet there are other games that are similar! 13} Try doing some nail care, to make yer claws stronger! And paint them to what ever color yer claws are! 14} Going back to tip 2, try buying fake gold coins {as this is cheaper} if you want a collection of gold coins! Or make yer own! {!!!DO NOT PAINT US COINS!!! IT IS ILLIGAL IN THE US TO PAINT COINS FOR ANY REASON!!! Under Title 18 U.S. Code 331, it is illegal to fraudulently alter, mutilate, or falsify coins in the us!} Goodness me i think this is the most tips ive ever done? Well i hope you liked them and they helped you get in the right direction! Thank you again @theemeralddragonking for helping me with these tips! I hope ya have a good day/night ^^

Tips on how to care and get connected with nature

1: Pick up trash

2: Avoid AI! Support actual artists/writers etc

3: Support/volunteer at animal shelters

4: Put out feeders and bird baths for the local critters

5: Plant trees or flowers outside or in your house (but make sure the trees/flowers are native to your area)

6: Talk or sing to your plants (yes plants love it)

7: This tip depends on the circumstances, but I've helped many stray dogs and cats that I randomly take in and care for till I find them a home

8: Instead of buying from factory farms, buy stuff from local farms or grow your own food

9: Spay and neuter pets (there's enough unwanted babies in the world)

10: Don't buy from breeders or puppy mills, get ones from shelters or pick up a stray

11: If you see an animal being abused or neglected, report it

12: Build birdhouses or bat boxes

13: Donate/volunteer to organizations that protect endangered species and natural habitats

14: Reuse containers, clothes, and bags instead of throwing them away, learn to sew stuff

15: Put out water for wild critters during hot weather

16: If you have leftover food, offer it to homeless or stray animals

17: Try to save electricity, open windows for sunlight, unplug chargers when not in use

18: Instead of cars, walk, bike, ride horse, bus or train

19: Go swimming in a lake, pond, river or ocean etc

20: Go barefoot often (in mud, grass, dirt, water)

21: Go bird watching and listen to their sounds and guess what type of bird it is or what the call means, take pictures, draw or write it down in a journal

22: Sit under a tree or by a stream, go for walks/hikes, look at the moon and stars, observe animal behaviour

23: Use a large rock to hold a door open, hold paper down or paint on, use a feather as a bookmark, make jewelry out of things you find in nature

24: Don't buy fur clothing/tails from fur farms or alligator skin pursues/shoes etc

25: Watch animal documentaries or read books

26: If you have a rodent problem, use the humane traps

Territorial Insticts + alterhumanity

i think a lot of alterhuman folks experience territorial instincts in ways that don’t always get talked about. especially if your identity includes predatory, wild, or socially protective species, such as canids, felines, dragons, etc. some of us might feel a deep need to claim space. not in a metaphorical way, but like. this is mine. this is my room, my den, my person, my pack. this is my corner of the internet. don’t touch it. don’t look at it too long. i’ll bite.

and it’s not always aggressive, it can be protective, affectionate. we make a space safe for the people we care about. we guard it. we watch.

for some of us it’s instinctual. for some it’s tied up in trauma, being displaced, growing up in unsafe environments, feeling like we never had a space that was truly ours. alterhumanity can make that ache sharper, more specific.

i guard things. food, objects, spaces, people. it’s not symbolic, it’s instinct. it’s like something clicks in my brain and suddenly whatever it is becomes mine. not in a selfish way, but in a protective, possessive, defensive kind of way. like: this is important. this is sacred. this is part of my territory. don’t touch it. don’t fuck with it. don’t even get too close unless you’re trusted.

sometimes it’s my room. sometimes it’s a person i love. sometimes it’s a hoodie i’ve worn every day for two weeks. sometimes it’s leftover food in the fridge that my brain has decided i’ll starve without. sometimes it’s not even rational, it’s instinctual. animal. primal.

it makes so much sense to me through the lens of psychological therianthropy, the creature in me doesn’t separate emotional connection from territorial instinct. if i love you, i’ll guard you. if something is mine, it’s not just an object, it’s part of my den. part of my hoard. part of myself.

and it’s also tangled up with my bpd [ suspected ], fear of abandonment, attachment issues, identity instability. my territory gives me shape. it tells me who i am. if someone crosses into it without permission, it doesn’t just feel like a boundary violation, it feels like a threat to my existence. it feels like my identity is bleeding. it feels like i’m going to lose something i can’t replace.

territoriality can be violent, but it can also be soft. i’ll sit by the door while you sleep. i’ll remember exactly how you take your tea. i’ll patch up your jacket and fold it so it smells like you again. i’ll bark at anything that looks at you wrong.

for me, being alterhuman means having instincts i can’t always explain, but i feel them in my bones. and territoriality is one of the loudest ones. it’s not always easy to live with, but it makes me who i am.

[konn-torm]

I relate to this bc I'm very terratorial of my stuff in general

I am a food aggressive dog.

I WILL NOT be sharing my food

Hi! friendly alterhuman reminder

your identity isn't static.

no one's is, neither our nor our human friends, we are forever changing, and this includes your kins. It is okay to gain an identity later in life, it is okay to lose one, this isn't static, this isn't forever. Ans that's okay. That's normal. Thats a part of life, your life.

do not feel guilty for losing connection with your older kins, maybe they were spiritual and you outgrew the age they died and there's no one to follow you anymore?

do not feel like you're faking for gaining connection to a kin later in life, maybe they were psychological and formed due to a recent experience?

do not feel guilty for experiencing any fluidity, not only your kins are fluid, your favorite color, your favorite band or animal, it all forms your identity, and that is forever changing, any and all experiences form you and your kins are not exempt from that! let them shape themselves, let them grow with you, theyre a part of you after all.

Let yourself grow.
