Ngl I Really Don't See My Therianthropy As Being Either "physical Or Non-physical". It Just Is.

today is my birthday!!

With all the species concept discussion today, I have been pondering and I genuinely love the idea of having a species concept separate from scientific species concepts, sort of like how there’s the idea of gender while there’s also sex.

There’s already an idea of “human” separate from the characteristics that define Homo sapiens — to be human is typically associated with compassion and empathy or whatever, and none of that is all that relevant to reproductive compatibility or genetic similarities to other species? So surely it’s possible for other “species” to be separated from their taxonomy? (/genq)

it would totally rock if you made a moomintroll pfp or just any art of him. i love your art <3<3<3

Being trans nonbinary is so annoying because my brain is like "We have dysphoria, let's transition so we can pass!"

Pass as what?

It's so stupid hard to "pass" as androgynous to the general public. It's this obnoxiously thin line that feels completely out of reach to get to, at least not without giving up other forms of gender expression that feel euphoric to me. I wouldn't even mind not being fully androgynous, if nothing else I just want to make people stop and think for a second before they inevitably go ahead and misgender me anyways.

It sucks that the best I can hope for in terms of transition is confusion. I see trans binary folks talking about the euphoria they get from passing and being accepted in society as their true gender, having the ability to go stealth. And I desperately want that too. I wish people weren't so hellbent on sorting others into binaries at all costs, and I wish there was hrt that could make me androgynous without giving me other traits that I dont want (ex. facial hair, bottom growth, heavily masculine voice). I literally just want to be seen as who I actually am and it's crushing knowing Im probably never going to get to have that.

YOOOOO this is so sick!! :D

idk if anyone else has done this yet, i feel like it's a pretty obvious combo but i have yet to see it used around the community anywhere else, but uh yeah if this inspires u at all go crazy with it ig 👍

Earlier today I was making a ceramic necklace pendant and was like "hey, I wanna make something werewolf related I can wear" so I was thinking and started wondering if there was any kind of general "werwolf symbol" out there that I could carve onto said pendant.

I found out that there is! It's an ancient shield emblem originating from Germany and Eastern France called Wolfsangel, which translates to "wolf's hook" and was sometimes associated with lycanthropy, and was later adopted by peasant revolutionaries as a symbol for German liberation in the 15th century. Pretty cool right?

Well not so much actually.

Im really really glad that I kept researching before I started carving because apparently Wolfsangel was actually appropriated by the Nazi's during WW2 and is now globally classified as a hate symbol. Great :|

All of this is to say that I think it's about time we created/found a new symbol for werewolves, one that doesn't have a shitty double meaning lol. Something like the theta-delta or elven star, but for werewolves (or werebeasts in general) specifically. Not sure if one already exists somewhere, I couldn't find one while researching but I wouldn't be surprised if there was one tucked away in some dusty old 2000's internet forum that someone would like to clue me in on. But if not, I think it'd be cool to start trying to figure out a new one, something that anyone who identifies with the "were" label for any reason can use!

If for no other reason, than at least just so I can find something to put on my pendant lmaooo

how it feels when my human friends send me wolf and dog videos because they remind them of me

hey so like literally tell me why i casually talking with one of my friends earlier today after class, and out of nowhere she started telling me about tumblr therians and werewolves, and how she had to explain to her sister one time what a therian was because she accidentally interacted with one our posts and it flooded her dash with therian content

WHILE I WAS WEARING MY THETA DELTA NECKLACE

deadass just stood there like

"damn that's so crazy lmao"

jumpscared bruh

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!

it's so strange to me when ppl talk abt furries like they're the worst thing in the world (in a not joking way lmao) and abt how being one is somehow rotting my brain or depleting my quality of life or whatever bc its like,

without a doubt being a furry is one of the best things that's ever happened to me, idk that id trade it for anything.

like the amount of just pure, absolutely childlike joy and wonder ive experienced over my nearly 5 years in the fandom is actually insane, i can't think of anything else that has made me this happy for this long. I still remember what it felt like when I first discovered the fandom and started to fall in love with it, the only thing I can really compare it to was when I put on glasses for the first time when I was like 12 (im extremely near sighted) and was like "OMG EVERYTHING IS SO BRIGHT AND COLORFUL AND BEAUTIFUL ALL OF A SUDDEN :D"

ive met so many cool ppl and ive discovered my passions and ive learned abt so many different walks of life. it helped me realize just how creative i am and how much I love art, it gave me an outlet for my overactive imagination and ive made so many friends. I genuinely hope that everyone is able to find is able find something that makes them feel this fulfilled at some point in their lives :)
