YES I love thinking about humans/humanity like this :3
Like sleeping in warm cozy beds with lots of blankets and pillows? That's a nest dawg. And then having an entire room specifically dedicated to sleeping in your nest that you also fill with all your favorite things so that it feels more homey. Or even sharing your nest with a mate(s) or close friend. That's so fun !!!
Or how in the winter they like to hang pretty colorful lights around their homes and set up decorations literally just because they can, and they build shapes in the snow that look like them so that they can look at it and say "you're like me, you're my friend :)"
Never forget that humans are animals too, pretty incredible ones at that! ^^
-to an extent
No but really, I find myself enjoying my body much more when I comprehend how cute & silly humanity can be
Like yeah!! Humans love going out of their way to help & befriend other creatures for no reason!! Humans like making stuff from special dirt in the ground!! Humans love covering themselves in colorful things & itβs not even for defense or as a warning- itβs literally just because fun!!
Humans are CUTE. Humans love to DANCE!!! THEY LOVE TO PLAY!!!
Its!! So!! Silly!!
And itβs amazing!
ββ
Also I just see a lot of alterhumanity hold great distain for humans. Itβs understandable given that so many of us are treated unkindly by humans who try so hard to be whatever they consider βnormalβ or βacceptableβ. But I find my body much more bearable and fun when I comprehend how silly & wonderful humanity can be
Maybe I canβt run as fast or fly- but I can do a fun silly dance with my partners & thats a lot ^^
Thereβs a lot I can do as a creature now, because Iβm in a human body. I mean fuck- thumbs are really helpful for getting into my favorite drinks & snacks. Even raccoon hands canβt easily pop open a soda
Granted thereβs tons I cant do- but I think I really like looking at my funky nonhumanity as a cool little gift! A trinket for a new experience β¨
few werewolf + monster drawings
Ever since I learned to cut the "but I know Im still completely human btw" bullshit in regards to my nonhumanity and instead just embraced the whole "Im literally a werewolf" mindset, Ive honestly been sooooo much happier and more confident with myself and my identity.
I feel so much more in-tune with my authentic self, and my overall expression is much better aligned with how I perceive myself. My species dysphoria certainly hasn't disappeared, but it's miles more manageable than it was even compared to a year ago, which ironically has also helped me learn to love the parts of me that are still human. Im so much more balanced now, and the internalized shame I struggled with for so long is steadily eroding away. Even something as simple as casually making jokes to my friends about how they might catch me prowling the forest on a full moon is infinitely more affirming than constantly trying to convince humans that I "didn't actually believe I was an animal".
I am a real life lycanthrope. I'm never going to deny that part of myself ever again. Fuck trying to make yourself palatable for human social norms.
Coyote HRT: Month 8 I saw a dragon fly overhead on my hike.Β Iβve come a long way in a short time. Thank you to those who spurred the journey. Major thanks to AyvieArt and Lakehounds for the inspiration Start - Prev - NextΒ
A flag for therians and alterhumans who identify as/with suburban coyotes (coyotes that live in suburban/exurban environments), who identify as coyotes and also live in the suburbs/exurbs, or who generally identify with the idea of being a wild animal thatβs had to persevere and adapt to a suburban environment!
This flag and identity are intended as a companion to the urban coyote flag I posted here; that version can be used as an umbrella term for both of these identities or as a term specifically for the urban/city-dwelling version of the identity, while this one is specifically referring to suburbs/exurbs!
I, personally, am a coyote therian who lives in an exurban environment (the area where I live is much more rural than the suburbs, but is still connected to nearby urban and suburban areas); the fact that my location is fairly rural, with lots of forests and farmland, means that itβs not an area of discomfort for me, but I still feel like living in a somewhat urban area affects my identity as a wild animal. Furthermore, as I mentioned in my urban coyote post, coyotes and other wild animals that live in developed/human-dominant areas have to adapt and change their behavior to survive in those habitats, which is a concept that I believe many therians and alterhumans can relate to!
Alternate versions (without coyote ears and tail; without ears, tail, and theta delta)
If thereβs another alternate version of this flag youβd like me to create (eg. with a different alterhuman symbol, etc.) just send me an ask!!
(this flag is free to use with credit; my askbox is open for requests for therian/alterhuman icon edits, moodboards, flags, etc.!!)
(Will update as needed/requested)
Hey! Just thought it'd be cool to make a small collection of therian and alterhuman (including furries and bronies, as they do technically fall under the AH umbrella) musicians who are out there for folks in the community if they ever feel like listening to something made by other creatures :3

nobody talks about the struggle of having a kintype from a source that's actually just horribly cringy
it's like
"hey this piece of media is a really integral part of my identity as an individual and has had a big influence on my life, it means a lot to me and is one of my favorites :)"
"oh cool we should watch it then!"
"... no"
Fun in the snow 𦴠- P
