Im making a big ass thing on notion

Basically, it is a giant catalog of therian and otherkin gear.

From ears and tails, to collars, to wings, to horns, to fins, to clothes, all of it. (Everything I could find at least.)

I have it separated by therian/otherkin, canine/cat/aquatic ect and devinekin/demonkin/darkkin ect.

Then, it's by type. Wild cat/domestic cat/other. Wolf/domestic /other. Ect.

Then it's by exact species. Timber wolf/snow wolf/coastal wolf. Stuff like that. For absolutely everything.

I'm trying to get as many kins as possible so everyone can use this, so please, comment your kin so I can make sure it's there. (Especially if it's a rare one!!)

ill add links and pictures, make sure they are not from harmful fur farms, make sure the quality is good, all of that stuff.

But yeah. I'm super excited for when it's done tbh, and I hope a lot of people see this. (Please reblog :'))

I'll put some pictures of what I have done right now.

kin/therian/inhuman advice/help suggestions - focused on more animalistic types

please note that this is largely based on our experience and may not help all who have the same cravings/urges/ect.

blood cravings: find clamato juice or something similar. clam tomato juice. not sure if it is sold in the USA. might sound gross but its thick, red, salty, and high in iron. it satiates our cravings very well. alternatively, see if local butchers will sell animal blood. you can claim for it to be for things such as blood pancakes.

raw meat cravings: buy fatty, thinly sliced meat from a deli. once again it is very salty, and it feels good to tear. you can safely eat raw beef; sear the outside to rid bacteria on the outside. slice it off and you can eat the still raw meat inside. you can also do this with fondue beef to just cook the outside of the small cube. never eat raw minced meat; bacteria is all through it already and must be fully cooked.

be careful to not eat too much raw meat; it can be unhealthy for your vessel.

more normal food cravings: for us, this is birdbrain related. indulge these cravings. learn what they are so you can keep these things on hand. we keep seeds and nuts in stock and it's not a bad idea to keep things such as fish frozen in a freezer as a clutch for intense fish cravings. if you have cravings for non-traditional meat for your area [ie game animals such as duck, deer, moose, or mutton if NA / beef if EUR from what i understand ] make an effort to look for stores or butchers who carry it.

phantom limbs/differences-

digitigrade: minimize wearing shoes/socks. if you need to learn how to walk on the balls of your feet in your vessel, get some heels. learn quadrobics. try to make yourself fake legs, look into how furries and satyr cosplayers make theirs.

wings: open-back clothes can feel more comfortable. when laying down on your front, put a slightly warm heating pad across your back to simulate weight. watch your posture. make fake wings to wear.

tails and paws: once again look into how furries make theirs.

Neffertity is a fursuit maker who's posted tutorials on youtube. they have a video on making ears, paws, claws, wings, digitigrade paws, and super motion tails.

clothing tips: if furred, find clothing that resembles the texture of your fur. learning sewing can make it easy to accomidate your ahumanity.

find community. take part in art. if possible, engage in VR responsibly.

Nepeta Leijon from Homestuck is a Corsican Wildcat Therian!

[mist-mistletoe]

For any carnivore or meet eating kins that don't like how raw meet tastse/feels let me recommend something.

It's called Biltong, it's an African snack that is dried meat! Any red meat can be dried with spices and it's really, really good.

Personally we just make my own with the spices we like. Biltong can be very dry or wet! It takes about a week to dry but is mainly made with game meet. (Only works on red meat).

We'll post a step by step when we ask the old Afrikaans guy for his recipe

Tiger shifts today-

Ready to pounce, at any given moment.

I feel a tiger’s arms, they’re strong and thick. I feel the paws, huge and clawed. My body feels heavy, like I’m carrying the weight of a wild big cat. My anatomy and bones yearn to be quadrupedal.

I walk and I stalk, prowling my territory for a good feast. I crave to capture my prey, sink my fangs into its body and fill my belly with meat. My teeth ache for just a taste.

I growl and I snarl, baring my teeth just a bit. Glaring, watching, alert ears perk up to hear every little thing. I growl, and I roar. My voice heard all throughout the land.

My land. The land I watch over and protect. No one shall dare confront me. None shall dare fight for dominance. For I am the King, the Ruler of this land. Fierce and mighty.

[styxthecaracal]

You know, I often say or think, whether to myself or out loud, that I "miss" my wings/ears or I want my ears/wing "back" even though I'm not 100% sure I had past lives as a dragon or as a caracal or even a past life in general

But it's just that something deep down inside feels as if these parts of me were taken from me; ripped off of me in some violent and painful encounter long before I had memory. I still feel these as if they were ment to be with my physical form, but they will never be.

I will never "again" soar through the skies nor will I be able to hunt down prey with my trained ears. And I won't ever be able to communicate with my tail. I feel robbed of these experiences, as if I was born with these features only for them to be removed at the hands of people who would never understand the pain these metaphorical scars would cause me years down the road.

So I say again: I miss my wings and I wish I had my tail again. I wish I could have my ears back and I wish my paws would return. For even if they never were to begin with, that doesn't stop me from longing for what never was.
