The other day I finally had my canon event for anyone who wears animal accessories in public:

That’s right, a group of ten year olds barked at me. I feel accomplished, like I’ve truly found my place in my community. I went for so long wearing tails without judgment, I was beginning to feel left out

i realise this is because im way too autistic about animals and spend too much time reading about animal cognition and behaviour, but the way some members of the therian community talk about animals, like theyre just simple beasts incapable of complex emotion, really bothers me sometimes. like that meme that did the rounds on here a few months ago, something along the lines of "i wanna be a wolf, the only emotions wolves feel are chomp and awoo". first of all, just because wolves arent humans doesnt mean that their lives cant be just as rich and complex as them. second of all, wolves dont feel emotions?? fucking wolves??? one of the most emotionally complex mammals, that have such complicated social structures that scientists are still scratching their heads about them? those wolves??

obviously im exaggerating a bit here (wolves arent The most complex mammal, that would be a tie between chimpanzees and orangutans), and i do know that its just a joke. but these jokes reinforce beliefs that humans have, and i think that us therians could start leaving them behind us now. yes, animals can be just as capable of complex thinking as humans are, and to think otherwise is just doing them a disservice.

for example, did you know that some corvids are capable of not only using, but making tools? and that most animals engage in play as a way to learn from their surroundings? and that some birds can recognise human faces, and even behave differently if they like the human or not? and that chimpanzees can make and use objects just to amuse themselves, and not for their survival? and that some birds pull pranks on eachother and laugh when they are discovered? and that most social animals learn skills by watching their parents doing them first and reproducing them? and that corvids have favourite objects that they carry around in their beaks? and that rats can count and process numbers in their heads? and that squirrels can remember where they buried hundreds of seeds for the winter? and that some species of birds have dialects and accents depending on where they live?

intelligence in animals isnt just being capable of doing things that humans can. intelligence is being creative, using your environment to you advantage, finding sources of food where others wouldnt, being able to think quickly and outside of the box. understanding cause and consequence, predicting that something will happen before it happens, planning events beforehand. communicating effectively with your peers, sharing food, information, taking care of eachother instead of yourself. it isnt just tools and art and abstract thinking and language and writing.

we are only just scratching the surface of what brains can do, and the animal kingdom is fascinating. there is so much stuff out there that you cant even begin to imagine. i encourage you to learn as much as you can about it, because really, it will blow your mind.

Nah fuck this I'm making an actual post abt this bc my mutuals have posted venting abt this type of shit at least once a week for like months

CANINES OF THERIANBLR. TAG YOUR FUCKING PREY DRIVE POSTS. Prey 'types do not want to constantly see images and text posts abt our species being mauled brutally and eaten. That shit is distressing and not fucking cool

I don't care if you talk about your prey drive, BUT FOR FUCKS SAKE, *TAG IT PROPERLY*

"Tw prey drive," "cw prey drive," or "prey drive" are ALL appropriate things you can tag your posts with. ALSO, if you're going to post images of REAL PREY ANIMALS BEING EATEN AND/OR KILLED BY PREDATORS, FUCKING TAG THAT SHIT AS GORE OR NSFL

I can't stop anyone from posting abt their prey drive, and I don't WANT to, but not all of us wanna see that shit, ESP about our 'types specifically

Signed, a caninekin who ALSO has 'types of the three most commonly posted about prey animals who is SICK AND TIRED of my mutuals seeing literal animal gore in these tags

Listen universe when I say I’m a dog that does not mean I need to shed like one too

gonna go ahead and say the quiet part out loud but

if you assign human morals to nonhuman/theriform animals and genuinely hate said animals for failing to follow those moral systems- i would rather you not be on my blog.

something i notice is folks REALLY go after dolphins and penguins with this stuff and not really any other animal? even though like, hamsters/mice eat their babies when they get stressed. zebras/lions/LOTS of animals kill the young of rivals to mate with the mom. AWDs are known for eating their prey alive. etc.

if you want to apply human morals to nonhuman animals, then apply it to ALL animals. the picking and choosing just shows youre falling for sensationalism. if you actually stick to your guns, you arent gonna like any nonhuman animal, because none of them give a shit about human morals.

“You need to be an example”

Terrible plan, do nothing that I do

[sendingbugs]

why are so many people in the alterhuman community so... egotistical (in a way that affects other people and isn't just kept to themselves)?

why do you think it's okay to say "um actually, your spirituality is fake, and you're just alterhuman cause of your mental disorders☝️?" why do you think it's okay for you to tell someone "yeah i support physical alterhumans, but i don't believe anything you're saying is real?"

why do you think that your opinion on someone else's origin of identity is important? everyone NEEDS to know what you think? why do you need to make everything about you? why do you think it's okay to speculate on someone's origin of identity? why do you think it's okay to fakeclaim or reality check without even wondering how that makes me feel? why do you think it's okay to impose an origin onto someone anyway (because not everyone has one)?

you don't believe in my spiritual and physical experiences? okay, that's fine /gen. but. maybe. consider that your opinion is not objective? that i know my experiences better than you ever could? that i can define my experiences however i want? maybe you should consider being respectful? maybe don't go around telling people that what they experience isn't real? maybe YOUR opinion on MY identity doesn't fucking matter?

I’m in a constant state of war between wanting to grow my nails out like talons, and wanting to keep them short because long nails give me sensory issues…

[sendingbugs]

Woof. (Said with passive aggressive undertones)

[sendingbugs]

i would like to make it crystal clear: this blog is and always will be a safe, supportive space for physical and biological alterhumans of any sort.

you do not have to justify yourself to anyone either <3
