Tips for caninekin

These are just things that have worked for me as a wolfdog, so feel free to suggest things or give feedback!

1. Make a nest indoors. Use pillows, plushes, lots of blankets, and maybe some clothes. Make it comfortable, maybe make it like a “fort” so you can crawl inside, or one you can lie on if you’d prefer. If you don’t want others you live with to know of your alterhuman status, I suggest making a nest late at night, and sleeping in it until morning, then undoing it.

2. Make a den outdoors. The den can involve a nest as well! A forest, a park, a field, a riverbank, maybe even a bench. Wherever feels freeing, and feels like home. If your den is in a forest or field- somewhere private and more wild -make small alterations to suit your tastes. Claw in your initials, make a snow- or moss nest, dig a comfortable pit to lie in, or anything else. If it’s in public and, well, public, spend time there doing more discrete activities if you prefer. Maybe journal about your theriotype, draw yourself, or bring things that remind you of yourself to relax.

3. Dog stuff. You knew it was coming. Collars and chew toys, right? Well, sorta. There are also paw warmers, small accessories, trinkets to put on your backpack instead of collar, a shorter leash to make your keys more noticeable in your bag, and you could sew dog booties into clothes for extra storage. Don’t let yourself be limited to collars and toys; there are a lot more options out there- even if collars and toys are great too.

4. Listen to your theriotypes calls, and replicate them. Be it yipping, howling, snarling, barking, or laughing, replicating the sounds while listening to them can be soothing and make you feel included. If you cannot join in, listening to the noises can be soothing in and of itself, as well.

5. Wear affirming clothes. It can be clothes that somehow involve your species (like a graphic t-shirt), clothes that are the same color as your fur or body, or that just feel like the correct clothing. I tend to like looser clothes that are very neutral, but other may prefer clothes that make them look like themselves more. Patches are also wonderful for clothes and accessories. Choose a pair of old jeans and just go to town with patches, sewing, and painting; it feels great. You can also decorate your bag for school with pins, drawings, and similar items.

6. If you can or want to, do quads! Not only can you walk around like your theriotype, it’s also a shockingly good workout. Just make sure your form is good and you don’t go too fast, as to prevent injury!

7. Yarn tail time! Make an accurate one to your body size if possible, or make a smaller tail to hook onto your backpack.

8. Forage stuff to eat, or to decorate. From edible flowers like dandelions, to wood sorrel, to maybe even mushrooms if you have the knowledge, there are a lot of things you can just eat outside. Eating wild grown foraged items, either on their own or in a salad or similar, feels freeing in a way hard to describe in my experience. You can also gather twigs, pine cones, nuts, and similar items to make things out of, or make your room/den more comfortable!

9. Draw paw prints of your specific theriotype. Try to make it as accurate as possible. Draw it on paper, on your pants, on your palms, or on your shoes- anywhere you like. They are your paws, and it can feel safer when you can visibly see your correct paws type, in my experience.

10. Shake after getting wet. This is also something that’s a-ok to do in public, which I really enjoy. Coming in after it has rained, getting out of the shower, or drying off after swimming in a lake- it feels great!

11. Make treats. No, not necessary dog treats. It can be chunks of shaggily cut bell pepper, pieces of meat to gnaw on, and other treats that don’t feel “human”. It can be the classic “seeds and peanut butter shaped as a dog bone”, or a whole cucumber that your tear apart. Use it as a reward for doing good, or just eat it when you want to.

12. If you like gnawing, get a chew stim toy. It’s less harmful than most other things you could be gnawing on, and works quite well for molars!

13. Claim some territory. It can be your house, or a place in the forest, or your room. Allow only those you want to to come in. Chase out creatures you do not want in. Create a marker along the edges of the territory, for example a specific cloth color tied on trees, if needed.

For the kin type question,

From @desire-of-the-hearted-lindworm

for #7, yes i am in the bog of kin questioning (laugh track), currently im suspecting some sort of caninekin, maybe dog/puppy or jackal? for #10, even though i think i was some kind of water/ice dragon, i love sunbathing and remembering how i use to lay and stretch my wings out to just rest! i also love collecting things, be it stones and crystals and jewelry, or just plushes or books! thank you for asking ^^

New canid therian blog!

Hey guys! This is a new blog just for canidkin. I'll be focused on making content for canidkin who don't have much in their tags such as maned wolves, raccoon dogs, jackals, and dholes! Things you will be able to find on my blog include recipes, decoration, fashion, and gifts. Feel free to send in requests and post submissions! I may not be able to do requests regularly but they make for great inspiration!

Thoughts of a plain jane standard canine

Sometimes, I imagine I am a cat,

graceful and flexible, the lone hunter

Curved, deadly retractable claws

The creature that stalks into the night

And takes down its prey in one bite.

Sometimes, I imagine I am a dragon,

A legendary creature with rich mythology,

Soaring through the air and guarding castles

Keeping a hoard of gold.

Sometimes, I imagine I am a gryphon,

a magical chimera with traits of a lion and eagle,

Wings spread out in their full glory,

As I take off with an ear splitting screech.

Sometimes, I imagine the life of a merfolk

at one with the sea,

Singing haunting music under the moonlight

Doing my best to protect the ocean

Knowing, that one day I’ll return home.

Sometimes, I imagine I am fae,

delving into the world of magic and all things mystical

here to protect the creatures of the woodland,

and glamourbomb unsuspecting victims

Sometimes, I imagine I am fictionkin,

An explorer, hailing from world beyond,

Watching a show, or reading a book

And being able to see myself.

Sometimes, I wish I was those things. But I know I’m only a canine of some kind, as generic and boring as it seems to me. And in the end, it’s who I am and I wouldn’t change it.

Edit: Sorry for crappy layout, tumblr keeps undoing my formatting 😑

[grimmwolf]

Where my coyotekin at? Basenji dogs? Hyenas? African wild dogs? Or just kin who make howling/yodeling vocals in general. I have something to say…

Listen to yodeling music. It makes me want to vocalize literally so frikkin much. It will change your life. Give it a listen!

Especially this song-

Just a fun little suggestion I thought others would appreciate or think was interesting :)

First Impressions are Everything

Context: I’m a fairly new DM about 3 sessions into a campaign. The town my players were in had cases of missing peoples, the Dragonborn Paladin (Kranov) was talking with one of the townsfolk in the tavern the players knew to try and figure out what’s happening. Before this same session, someone else wanted to join the campaign (Playing a Homebrew Jackalkin Barbarian named Qadim) and I complied. I had a difficult time introducing him.

Qadim (OOC): While these guys are just talking I’m just looking in through the window.

Kranov (OOC): Can I roll perception to know if I see him?

Me: Sure.

Kranov rolls a nat 20

Me: You see a Jackalkin just sort of sticking his nose through one of the windows.

Qadim (OOC): I’m just staring at him, completely poker-faced.

Me: You know what? Roll to see how poker-faced you are.

Qadim rolls a critical fail

Me: You have the silliest grin on your face.
