Creature thing to do when bored

Go to deepai.org (or any other free AI text generator) and write there something like

write detailed text about how would [insert your nonhuman identity] society look like, how they live, what are their rituals

With animals it's much better to add "were" - werewolf, werelion, werecrow, with regular animals it would be a casual nature article, not interesting.

Otherkin, therians, anything! And you can spend time daydreaming about the result.

What it gave to me when I asked for a werelion society:

A werelion society, blending human and lion traits, would embody a unique cultural and social structure driven by both primal instincts and human intellect. This society might be organized into clans or prides, each led by a strong alpha figure both for leadership and protection. They would prioritize communal living, emphasizing cooperation and shared responsibilities for hunting and nurturing young. Their architecture could reflect their dual nature, featuring sturdy, natural materials combined with elaborate artistry that showcases their connection to both civilization and wilderness. Rituals likely revolve around the lunar cycles and the changing of the seasons, celebrating their transformation and connection to nature. Social hierarchy might be nuanced, where physical prowess and wisdom are equally valued, and matriarchs play a crucial role in decision-making. Education could focus not only on survival skills and hunting techniques but also on storytelling, art, and history, preserving their lore and fostering identity. Conflict resolution may draw from both primal combat traditions and diplomatic negotiation, reflecting their duality. Thus, the werelion society would articulate a complex interplay of strength, community, and cultural richness, striving for balance between their wild instincts and social consciousness.

this is the life I want

Different ways to solve paw dysphoria:

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!

I’ve been seeing a lot of tiktoks lately about ‘fake therians choosing their theriotype’

But we shouldn’t jump to conclusions with everyone.

You might see a MLP fan say they’re a pony therian.

You might see a furry who’s theriotype is the same animal as their fursona.

You might see someone with the very common wolf theriotype.

To use myself as an example, you might see an autistic with a special interest of the lion king be a lion therian.

Some see these types of therians and think ‘they’re not a real therian, they just have a favourite animal.’

But to me, my lifelong attachment to lions was the most telling sign that I am one.

quick tip for my fellow therians/otherkin: GROW YOUR NATURAL NAILS OUT!!!!!!!!! get yourself some cuticle oil and a nail care kit and start growing them out and filing them into a shape that feels nice to you. i PROMISE it feels way better than getting extensions and the joy of growing your own claws is immense

Attention, alterhumans!!

…particularly those in the UK!

This is a post to gauge interest in an educational organisation for therians and other alterhumans! It would have a focus on homeschooling and be mostly online, but would also be very open to anyone attending school.

As it stands right now, it would likely encompass an online community (e.g. on Discord), an archive of resources, “after-school clubs” of therian activities, and regular voice and/or text chat sessions to help with studying, talk about alterhumanity, or just be a bunch of nonhumans hanging out! However, if the project became large enough, we could be looking at irl meet-ups – howls, hiking, wilderness walks, workshops and the like.

The organisation would also be able to support our humans with finding tutors and groups for home education purposes, and for those who are in school, supplementary lessons and tutors.

Basically, it’d be a big group of therians, otherkin, nonhumans and anyone under the alterhuman umbrella, for school purposes and also developing the ability to live in human society, without feeling othered or disconnected from their alterhuman identity.

Please rb/share if this sounds interesting to you!

It would be UK-based, so while alterhumans from all over the world can be involved, the focus will be on the education system here, so GCSEs etc.

More userboxes! Because why not! Yay!

[safaridays]

i’m surprised i haven't seen more therians talking about kemono friends?

i can see why the “(thing) but cute anime girl” formula would drive people away, but it’s a really sweet and surprisingly educational show with a lot of love and passion poured into it. also basically 0 fanservice…? crazy!

it takes place in an abandoned safari park after the fall of mankind where most animals have mutated into humanoids with animal traits due to a weird substance that rains down from the sky after volcanic explosions. i dunno i’m just so charmed by the eerie beauty amidst decay and the whole prospect of nature reclaiming its domain, especially in a zoo/wildlife park setting

all of the characters still act and think more animal than human and talk a lot about their past lives as regular animals, and since they don’t have to worry about predation anymore they all just hang out together in their respective biomes. a lot of the interactions feel very reminiscent of the alterhuman community. like chevrotain will gush about how she loves the smell of wet grass and fog, or african elephant is eager to be a leader because she wants to be like the matriarch of the herd she was in when she was an animal..

they also have segments in every episode where they interview a random zoo about a character featured in the episode and i’m obsessed with it. and if you figure they probably won't feature your 'type, the franchise has at LEAST 500 animals in total. all around overwhelmingly charming series, surprisingly underrated. 10/10 would recommend for any and all animals. it’s kind of a shame it hasn’t gained more attention in the community

Normalize bunting as a love language

Lions will often greet each other with this head bunting behavior when returning to a pride after a hunt.

I love doing this to my mom, I feel so happy!

And my kitten does this to me, I do this to him; the harmony.

Bunting is a form of animal behavior, often found in felids, in which the animal butts or rubs its head against other things, including people. Bunting as a behaviour can be viewed as a variation of scent rubbing.

My time interacting with the community after a long break has been wild. So many posts and individuals putting an emphasis on how we don’t actually think we are animals… I saw stuff like this back in the day, throwing each other under the bus to try and look better to humans. Sad to see it still going on. If you are a therian and you ‘know you’re human’ that’s nice for you. Your experience is not universal. I am a lion. I am not a human in any way The end

When I was but a wee shapeshifter in primary school I was absolutely infatuated with this girl. She was involved in some incidents where she was very much in the wrong. But you see I was gay. I was practically riding to battle in her honour (sapphic love language = going to battle in their name). When this other person was saying things about the girl I liked I sort of I suppose made wild animal noises at her. As in full on snarling and roaring.

So yes, I have always been a GAY animal (I have SO many stories about all the animal things I did as a kid. Let me know if you want to hear more).

humans really don't know how to rest. I think all species need a bit of relaxation time for at least a good 2-3 hours. but humans consider that lazy. I'm not lazy, I just don't want to get up to do something that will always be there to do later. I'm on my free time. people don't understand that I just want some goddamn rest! yes, working all week makes me tired! let me sleep some of the day away before I'm forced to get up! it's shocking how humans haven't killed themselves off with how much they overwork themselves. it's tiresome just looking at them work. work consumes so much human time. it's horrible. so much work for so little reward. I hate having to be a cog in the machine to humans greedy whims.
