I dunno if this makes me not a therian or a different sub-class, but my theriotypes seem to fade in and out of intensity. My norwegian forest cat theriotype I can feel is slowly getting more distant from what I originally felt towards it, wheres my otter theriotype is normal? I don't know if anyone else has this but i wanted to see :3

Normal, let me tell you how much I've come to hate normal. If hate was written across every sinew of my now human body it wouldn't even come close to how much I hate normal. I'm always told to just be normal, but normal is just bigotry and self denial of who you are. Normal is just putting up an illusion so you can pretend you are one with ever other thing that holds a human body. Normal is just killing of yourself human or not so people don't see you for it. I don't want to be normal, I just want to be myself for the weird sheep but not exactly that I am, the digital thought but not exactly mechanical being I am, the creature that just wants to spread happiness and love. I just want others to abandon normality to make the world a better place and for it not to corrupt my every thought and action.

I'm honestly confused. I really like quads and I'd love to wear the gear [haven't made/got any yet] so I thought I was otherpaw/hearted. Then I felt weird and unaccepted and started wanting to be a therian [yes I know it's weird] but then I stopped and thought about it. Also, [don't make fun of me help-] I talked to AI about it and apparently I might be a spiritual therian? I feel like I wasn't born in the wrong body, per se, but it's not really me. Like my soul is something different from a person. Also pretty sure I was an animal in past life[s] and I want to be reborn as one.

Basically asking: Is this normal? I'd hate to just be 'pretending' because I don't like how confusing the otherpaw community can be, and I don't want this to be just a hyperfixation [I started like 8ish days ago]. I think I have internalized hate [had the same thing w/ my homophobia when I found out I was bi]. It's normal to be confused, right? RIGHT!?!?!

P.S. How do you figure out your theriotype? I say mine's a black panther because once I imagined myself running in the forest and I saw a black cat [?] but I decided on panther because it seemed kinda boring? Can I be all felines? Also is it normal to NOT feel like an animal at school? Like outside, I kinda do [I know I'm human but again, the soul thing] but not indoors. It feels so stifling. Also I don't get shifts [sometimes kinda mental-ish where I wanna carry stuff in my mouth but nothing vocal/etc]. Is that fine?

SORRY IF THIS IS SOMEHOW OFFENSIVE!

i started feeling really like awkward today when i was out, just wearing a casual fit, browsing the shops. i don’t know i just randomly felt that i’m out of place, like an animal somewhere it shouldn’t be. i’m tall for my assigned gender but i felt that i’m too tall for a canine and i started to feel weird. i don’t usually get species dysphoria, when i do it’s mainly just a lack of ears, paws and tail, but this was like really bad. i started to miss having fur and paws and everything. it felt really wrong to walk on two legs, i wanted to walk on all fours instead but i was in public so obviously i didn’t. oh and i don’t have hardened paw pads anymore so walking on concrete would hurt.

i’ve never had dysphoria this bad before and i don’t particularly know how to deal with this. unfortunately i do not have alterhuman friends to ask so i’m asking therianthropes here. does anyone else get this and how do you manage or cope with it?

Like I’m guessing hate still remains a big issue but at least it’s not 24/7 on the News. It’s not like everyone is still talking about it. Right. Right?

I´m a changeling (from My Little Pony)

And I found a fanfic where a pony accidentally steps into poison joke (a magical flower that changes you as a cruel joke based on your personality) and it changed her physically into a changeling, but when she gets cured she misses being a changeling and constantly asks herself "why does poison joke turn me into a changeling?"

The writer most probably didnt intent it, but I see her as an otherkin changeling like me :3

Also I would absolutely love to be in that fictional situation xd

looking for help :3

does anyone else lowkey wish they were a lynx or any type of big cat?

I'm not sure how to explain it,

but whenever I see a lynx/any big cat,

weather it be Real life or Photo,

I just sometimes kinda wish that was me,

and I get a strange pang in my chest.

although I generally dont think I'm an alter human in any

way whatsoever, nor do I think it's linked to it,

and it's probably just one of those teenage desires to be anything but human.

but just in case,

I'm posting for some info or help <3

hello all, i’ve been questioning this for almost a year now and i’m mainly just stuck.

i know i am a therian i awakened several years prior but this is about my canine identity.

i feel like i am a canine but i don’t know if that’s just a broad term or something specific. i originally thought i was a grey wolf but i feel like it’s more than that. i just feel dog. i feel like being domesticated feels right but so does being wild and free. i do feel like wolves feel like me but again, so does many domestic dogs.

going off of phantom shifts, i have varying ears, tails, snout lengths, paw sizes and fur length. sometimes i have floppy ears, big rounded ears (like a painted dog), tall thin ears etc. sometimes i don’t feel tails at all, like a docked tail, and sometimes i feel like i have a longer fluffy one. unfortunately i don’t get phantom shifts often anymore so i can’t tell but i do get canine-esque urges and involuntary vocalisation.

with vocalisations it aligns more wolf than anything. growls and whines feel so natural but barking just doesn’t, it used to but i can’t anymore - same with howling. i used to frequently until i lost that skill though it felt normal to me.

i cannot visualise what my fur would look like, unlike with my other theriotype with help from past life memories.

i do feel more in tune with border collies, african wild dogs, australian shepherds, mudi dogs, wolves and mutts.

the best way i can describe it is i know i’m a “dog” but i’m more like a mutt. though i feel like i’m all canines, i know foxes don’t fit.

it feels more like a spectrum. sometimes i feel i’m meant to be wild and free, other times like i’m meant to be on a leash. i don’t know i’m just really confused with myself

anyone else have a similar experience, and if so how did you figure it out?

Ever since the day started, I’ve been feeling like I have gills behind my head and a tail that sways back and forth. I know shifts are normal but I’m kinda worried if it’s just my axolotl side or my brain is going crazy.

Me personally, I’m an Axolotl and Spider (Might change in the future, still pretty new to being a therian) and I’m wondering if anyone else also has two or more theriotypes. Feel free to drop a comment below 🕷️🕸️🖤

though i know not everyone experiences species dysphoria, what makes you feel euphoric? even the unconventional things

for me it’s my bed. i have one of those human pet beds and oh my god it makes me so happy!! another thing is my blanket, i have one with bones and paw prints on it.

these personally are really good as no one besides very few friends know that i’m an alterhuman so i can feel more comfortable at home without outing myself

these might sound a little strange but my hair aswell, i have medium length? curly hair and when it’s all like shaggy and uneven it makes me feel more connected to my canine identity. even better when my friends ruff up my hair, so much euphoria :3

though i’d love to be able to wear my tail at home and wear ears and collars, i don’t think i’d be telling my family. these little things help me feel better so i’m wondering what helps others :3c

anyone else out there thats not like asking questions and is just supporting. i kind of feel left out. but i also feel kind of offended cuz of how the media is portraying therians. im not a therian myself but my kids were for a while. They were being bullied and i think thats why they stopped or maybe they just lost interest. they are all extremely neurodivergent. 2 are officially diagnosed. one with autism one with adhd. but im just wondering where would i find my community? if im the parent.

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I'm struggling to find meat alternatives and sometimes I get intense cravings for meat which I can tell if from my wolf thereotype. The main problems are that:

1. I don't like most fake meats

2. Pretty much all fake meats aren't 'juicy' or satisfying, only ground/processed meat which doesn't really satisfy me

I also would like the feeling/taste of blood, similar from what you would get from a rare steak, and texture is most important to me!

Thanks for reading!

Like, with me, I live in Louisiana, and I'm a gator therian.

I feel like that's the case because I live in a place where alligators are prevalent and most media about my area has gators in it, so I basically associated myself with alligators so hard in early life that I basically gained it as a theriotype.

Does anyone else feel like at least one of their theriotypes is from environmental factors?

For me, I found out about a month ago. It took a couple of theriotypes to realize which animals are the best for me. What’s your story?

so i have two friends irl, one of which im planning on cutting off due to js private stuff but neither of them are really in any communities im in, such as therian, and i feel so lonely without any other therian friends irl (i live in southwest london in a smaller ish area) and i cannot find any therians to be friends with yk and i was just wondering like how to find therians like me irl, is there general areas they will be or like what cuz im just so tired my friend doesnt really understand the experiences i have being a therian and i always see online that therians have other therian friends too and i wish i had that but i cant find any others, for context tho i have never been public gearing before so no one would know im a therian from looking, but yeah i just think it would be cool to have my friends be like me in the sense of being a therian! otherpaw, otherrhearted etc is fine with me too but i just dont know where to find any - also i feel like a lot of them might not live inn my exact area type so it would be hard to keep a friendship in the case i managed to find one and also get along with them in the first place

so humans are animals and us therians have a connection to certain animals with shifts and moments of being that animal, so my question is can somone have a specific human as their thereotype? if so what would it be called? I’m genuinely curious if this is a thing! I have a feeling the shifts would be like memories from that persons life

I would like to get closer with my alterhuman identities, but I need some ideas on where to start

Theriotypes: Giant Panda, Red Fox, House Cat (calico), Platypus, Dog (dalmatian + siberian husky mix), New Zealand White Rabbit, Spotted Gypsy Vanner (breed of horse), Yellow Tang (fish),

Otherkin: Zombie

Fictionkins: Fluttershy, Plankton

I feel kinda empty, right now.

Over the last few months, I feel like my connection to my therianthropy has practically disappeared. I’ve been openly a therian for what is approaching two years now, and my experiences used to be strong, loud, and noticeable.

I had consistent daily phantom shifts, mental shifts, animalistic instincts, etc, and now I haven’t had a shift in almost a year.

I don’t know my theriotype anymore, I’m unsure of my experiences, and I’m somewhat disappointed in myself.

At first, when i stopped experiencing shifts, I told myself that maybe it was just because it was summer. I told myself it was because I probably just feel more connected to my theriotypes in the fall and winter.

Now it’s spring. A year later. And i didn’t shift at all during the winter or fall.

I don’t know what to do. Did i force myself into therianthropy, somehow?? Why have i almost fully lost my connection to what used to bother me daily, and was a constant part of my life?

I don’t even know what my theriotype is, anymore. Or maybe I’m just not a therian?

Im distraught.

Any ideas? Advice?
