TIME TO STICK OUR HEADS OUT OF THE CAR WINDOW WITHOUT GETTING FROSTBITE.

adult therians! survey poll down below :)

this is an 18+ post with NSFW themes (kink), minors keep scrolling!!

my friend was telling me that on the Theriopology discord server it and a few others developed a hypothesis.

“therians with a domestic theriotype are more likely to be into petplay than those with a feral or wild theriotype”

now this is just for funsies!! i may send poll results to my friend to see, but only percents, your users will never be shown

My jacket was missing a zipper pull, and I found a dog tag on the sidewalk, so I used nail polish to paint it black. It's a great new zipper pull, and I now jingle like a pet collar as I walk! Yip!

The whole idea that forcing shifts is bad and something you shouldn't do really irks me ngl. Like yeah, if you're using it as a way to determine kintypes that's definitely not the best route to go down, but with already confirmed kintypes idk what everyone's issue is. Personally, I don't get shifts of any kind too often, so by forcing them, specifically in the case of phantom shifts, I'm able to relieve some of my species dysphoria that I may not otherwise have an outlet for. If anything, I think actively trying to get yourself to shift rather than passively waiting for one to happen (not that there's anything wrong with that) is further proof of your desire to be connected to your nonhumanity.

Doodled something silly. Enjoy.

the joy of realizing someone is a similar type of freak as you

I'd rather hangout with the straight boyfriend than the queer cop who insists they're one of the "good ones" while harassing people of color

I'd rather hangout with the straight palestinian grandma than the queer zionist who keeps insisting that the death of palestinians is the one way ticket to queer liberation

I'd rather hangout with the leather dyke who is a mspec gaybian and uses paw/pawself pronouns than the puritan who makes "callout posts" clearly targeting disabled queer artists

Hey just wanted to come out and say real quick that I think I've confirmed a new kintype. It actually falls under a whole new category of alterhumanity that I've never been in before.

I am Post Apocalyptic Survivor Conceptkin

Trying to figure this out was... certainly a challenge. Quite honestly I'm still not 1000% sure that is exactly what I'm experiencing, but for the time being it feels right.

This is an identity that is very deeply rooted in my sense of self and is a very personal experience. I struggle to even properly explain what this identity feels like, as there aren't really words in the english language (or any other language that I'm aware of) to describe the extremely abstract thoughts and emotions that come with it. The best way I can describe it is it just feels like something that's intertwined with the essence of my being, like I can just sense it all around me in the most subtle ways. I believe it's spiritual in nature, maybe stemming from a past (or future??) life. I think I have some vague memories of it, but it's hard to say because they don't feel like memories from a specific individual, hence why I use the conceptkin label. It's something I've sorta always felt with me, lingering in the background, dropping hints that there's something much bigger than myself out there. But it's grown more and more prevalent in my life as Ive gotten older, usually making itself most apparent in the spring and summer time. It's difficult to define, everytime I try to focus on it and make out any specifics it squirms out of my reach, like trying to remember a hazy dream from the previous night. Sometimes I'll see or hear something that strikes something familiar in me and I'll know Ive found another small piece to the puzzle, but I greatly struggle to make rational sense of it. But there are a few things I think I know for sure about it. Here are some things that remind of and make me feel more connected to it.

I don't see many other conceptkins around so if you're out there hiiiii :3 I'd love to be friends and hear about your experiences! Maybe it will help me to make sense of my own in some way. Also feel free to ask me any questions about it! ^^ I'd love to answer them and it'd probably be helpful for me to try learning to verbally express some of the things I experience lol, thank uuuu <3

"wHy aRE yOu DyspHoRic ABouT tHat PaRt??1?!!" idfk man, literally why are any of us dysphoric about anything? not sure if tiktok therians understand what dysphoria is and that like... you don't get to decide what you are or aren't dysphoric about??? sorry that not all of us fit into your neat little sanitized 1000% kindergartener friendly stereotype of what it means to be an animal, cope ig

i no joke just saw a therian on tiktok say “can our community just go back to normal” in context to the packers situation. BE SO FOR REAL??!!! we are literally THERIANS! we were never normal and we never will be. the therian community was never normal. istg 90% of tiktok therians would flip their shit if they went on tumblr and saw how our community SHOULD be in other spaces

I JUST SAW A THERIAN OUT IN PUBLIC?????

Okay so my school has this cafe nearby that during the school year I’d frequently go to study and work on stuff. I went for the first time during summer break today with my mom for a nice outing and while we were checking out I noticed that the barista (who was wearing short sleeves today instead of the average long sleeves) had a tattoo on his upper arm that was half covered up by his shirt. A tattoo of the theta delta, but I was thinking “heyyy maybe I’m wrong, but couldn’t hurt to ask” so when my mom walked off to sit her bag down I asked “Is that a theta delta?” And this dude’s face LIT UP. So my mom was walking back so I just hurriedly went “Me too me too! Wolfdog.” And he replied “Grizzly!”

So in short: the barista at the cafe I got o everyday is a grizzly bear. I love my life.
