How I motivate myself to do things as a nonhuman

Doesn’t always work, in fact it often doesn’t however it helps to think of everyday human things in a more creature way.

• cleaning: fixing my nest

• food shopping: hunting, same goes for eating regular meals. Leaving my room = going out to hunt

• bathing: connect with water based aspects of my kin types/forms

• going on walks: scouting my territory.

• getting dressed: helps me represent my shape shifting. Putting on my jewellery, makeup and clothes is like putting on my skin.

• self care tasks such as teeth brushing, you can imagine as if these tasks were being done by a carer onto an animal (where you are the animal).

• I like to call things by different names, my room is my nest, hands are my claws, showering is taking a bird bath, sleeping is taking a cat nap, hair brushing and nail clipping is grooming, etc.

transmasc therian tip!

that weight on your chest? its fluffies. you are simply so fluffy.

your kintype doesnt have fur/feathers? your scales or skin are just thicker there to protect your heart. thats why its heavier

[ancientspaceraccoon]

I dunno if I'm the first person to think of it, but anyways, my autism had an idea

If you're a dog therian and own a mask, maybe try to put some kind of 3d glasses like thingies (like blue and red lenses but make it blue and yellow) inside of the eye hole to make it seem like you have dog vision

No idea if it's dumb or if it'll actually help but if someone tries please let me know :3

Sorry for the chaotic writing, I am made of fur and chaos

Wolf Therian Tips!

You have a divine taste in prey ! And I must say , your packmates must be proud of your agility ! Come over here and listen to my tips and activities for wolf therians!

Eating and Food

Wolves are practically known for their carnivore based appetite , so well known that some people fear they might attack humans. I dont really recommend eating people since it’s kind of illegal and immoral but here’s some other options!

Eat a lot of meat , obviously balance your diet but go to the market and buy chicken . Chicken is a good choice because it usually has the bones still so you can get lots of gnawing and ripping out from it . Also be sure to wash and clean the bones if you’d like to keep them . No one likes a den that smells like rotting chicken .

Activities and Behavior

Find a pack. There are thousands of online packs or mixed packs out there, but if you’d prefer a in-person pack then go searching for packs in your area. Also GO CAMPING. I recommend this to any canine therian because camping is just so good for canines. You can hear the wolves at night and play in the river , lots of amazing opportunities for quads . You can also howl at night, if you live in an area with lots of coyotes , most people won’t tell the difference and will leave you alone. Going on hikes is a great way to analyze habitats .

Gear and Species Dysphoria

Bite species dysphoria in the tail . We know it sucks. Although you don’t need gear or quads to be a therian it may be helpful to have some form of tail .(please make sure your tail is not from a fur farm , buying fake ones are better than abuse) .If you cannot purchase a tail due to being a minor or other reasons , then you can make some very easily! On my coyote tips post, I linked a video for how to make a yarn tail. Check that out if you’d like . You can also make a tail through blankets and a belt . Simply attach the belt to your waist and feed a blanket through the buckle and knot it, move the tail to your back and enjoy your temporary tail! This is good if you are in a shift and need to aid your phantom limbs.

can you do a silver fox kin care kit? or just fox in general pls?

here you go, I hope you enjoy! loved researching about foxes!

foxes have a wide range of vocals! look up videos of fox vocals and try to imitate them, or come up with your own fun noises to make

foxes are depicted as smart tricksters in mythology. make up your own riddles for others to solve, or find a book/website of riddes to try to solve

foxes are solitary creatures. take a break from the world, and chill out in a quiet room with soft fabrics, nature sounds, and even a diffuser with comforting smells

silver foxes have strong legs, and are fast runners! go for a run around your neighborhood, and try to build up your strength and stamina. if you can’t run, try exercises or stretches that focus around your legs

silver foxes have soft silvery black fur. try dressing in darker tones with soft, fluffy fabrics (maybe even add some fox ears if you have them)

silver foxes—like many foxes—are nocturnal. try switching up your routine to include more activities in the evening/night, and embrace the darker, quieter aspects of night

activities for a coyote/wolf therian for anon!

make a den! you can make your den in your room, outside, in a pillow fort, or even in a closet! put cushions, blankets, plushies, or anything in it that you prefer

go on a nature hike! this can help you connect with nature to feel like yourself. you can interact with things but make sure to leave the trail as you found it

learn vocals! there are lots of good tutorials for canine vocals on youtube you can learn from!

go to a dog park or shelter! it may help you connect with your theriotype to be around and play with animals of the same type

watch the moon! you can even howl at it!

hope this helps! :333

Does anyone have any tips on finding what theriotype/otherkin identity you might have? I feel like a canine but I don’t think I know enough species and I don’t know if I should start with ones that have specific behaviors or look specific ways or not

But at the same time I don’t feel like a canine? Like I feel like a canine but also a different mammal

It’s… weird… and I’m unsure on what to do with how new we are to this and allowing us to be more comfortable with ourselves and identities that fit us so any tips would be appreciated!

[a-dog-with-different-paws]

Ok so my mom knows I do quads but I'm trying to subtly drip hints I'm a therian, I just told her I was gonna go do quads "and act like a feral animal"

I know this is probably a stupid way of doing it so does anyone have any ideas how to hint at the idea I'm a dog/deer therian?

[clawedd-fawn]

so... officially making a mask!!

the ears look a tad off and the felt is wrinkled but i love him. i'm really hoping to get some jewelry and things to decorate him with!! :3

Shoutout to my friend for being my favourite person and giving me this <33

work in progress

[freakedcanine]

you reblogged my one post about feeling different than other therians and you are genuinely the kindest person ive ever come across in this community and tysm for understanding. i hope you have a wonderful day and many others 💟

awwh hello anon! i remember that post V>•<V!

i'm fairly newer to the community (only a couple months under the belt) but i've experienced therianthropy my whole life. it means a lot to hear that i made you feel understood. /gen

representation is just as important in the therian community as it is in any other community, and pretending like that diversity doesn't exist/isnt important is just denying facts. i myself haven't experienced a lot of internalized hate in the community (yet lol i'm sure its on its way) but i'll fight tooth and claw against anyone who thinks that way.

everyone's experience is valid.

you don't have to ask if you're valid in this community, because you are.

as long as you're not hurting anyone else or yourself, go wild, man! live your life how you see fit, and don't let anyone else dictate that.

if anyone ever wants to talk, my asks and dms are always open <3 i'll lend a paw and help you with whatever you need. you can rely on me

Coyote Therian Tips !

Howl are you doing ? (That wasn’t funny I’m sorry). If you’re seeking tips to feel more comfortable then I got you covered :) ! Here’s my coyote therian tips !

Eating and Food

Munch crunchy . You’re gonna want crunchy foods . If you want to simulate biting into bones or prey , wrap a pretzel in something soft like fruits or cheese . This way you can sink your teeth in and feel the “bone” crunch. If you’d like you can also try “prey hunting” by wrapping red fruits in paper and hunting them.

Activities and Behavior

So coyotes are a southern animal , if you live I Texas like I do you’ll hear them every night . I’d recommend going camping in southern states to hear them howl and up your chances of seeing one alongside you . Learn their calls and practice vocals for them . Howl at night! Go crazy! Snarl and bite . Play in sand , kick up dirt, just be the coyote you are!

Gear and Species Dysphoria

So species dysphoria sucks . Especially for canines . You don’t need gear to be a therian but it sure as hell helps . Create a tail out of yarn using sandy colors . Here’s a good tutorial:

You can also create ears through a headband very easily.

create a safe space or Den in your room , decorate it with things that make you feel more like your theriotype or make it neutral colors to match the dunes .

I cannot recommend enough to see if you can find any live cams of your 'type! I've been watching these live wolf cams for a few days now and I can't even begin to explain how strangely euphoric they make me

Plus its just fun to watch lol
