"YOU CAN'T BE THERIAN!!!!!!!?? YOU CAN'T BE ALTERHUMAN!!!!!!! YOU CAN'T BE OBJECTUM!!!!!$ THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME!!!!!!!!!"
Tthe mysterious olm :
I have to admit. I like the "therian masks".
I like it as a trend on tiktok, esspecially for younger alterhumans.
BECAUSE IT CONSEALS THEIR IDENTITY.
Way too often before the trend i would see little kids plastering their face online. Announcing their age. Basically posting their location.
I knew people who got hurt from it.
Is it annoying that people think it's a "requirement" for therianthropy? Yeah.
But at least it's serving a better purpose of safety with an added benefit of species euphoria.
Max: We made a racoon tail out of left over plastic grocery bags! This was really fun not gonna lie. It's a bit time consuming but relatively strait forward once I got my method down.
I may end up making some sort of tutorial, so if anyone's interested let me know!
Edit: It also makes a really satisfying swishy sound when you wag it lol.
EDIT 2: I made the tutorial!
V8: We painted our shoes all paw-like! Also the beads we added to the laces change color in the sun! (with cat photo bomb)

Dear alterhumans and nonhumans,
Don't try and appeal to people who don't understand you. People are always going to think we're strange, cringe, and delusional. There's nothing you can do about it. Just let them. You know who you are, and you accept you. In the grand scheme of things, thats all that matters :]
There IS a community that accepts you and wants to understand you, so stop obessing over the ones who never will.

What do humans have against catkins?
Like, just the other day, I overheard my family make a joke, "and some people identify as cats." It was the only part I could hear, but it made me realize something.
Every time people talk about therians/otherkins, it's always the cats they go after.
Which says a lot about how little they know.
So don't care about what they say. They clearly don't have any clue what they are talking about.
BEING AN ANIMALKIN DOES NOT MAKE YOU AN EXPERT IN NATURE/VETERINARY SCIENCE.
theriantok and theriantube forget this far too often
forget who’s the top or bottom, which one of you is nursing a fresh bite-sized wound and which one of you is licking the blood off your teeth
Got a haircut, where the hell is my bandana? Where’s the cinnamon-scented spray for my fur? Where’s my treat?
So, more sites for animal research!
Im so glad ppl actually found this helpful, so I found more sites similar to animalia ☆
[yes I accidentally deleted this... I'm writing a second time]
Most similar to animalia are animalcorner.org and animalspot.net.
More focused ones are allaboutbirds.org for avian therians, oceaninfo.com and oceana.org (the marine life encyclopedia can be found under the research section) for ocean creatures.
Earth.com is still general, only it has a plant encyclopedia too!! woohoo!
For paleotherians helpfull can be newdinosaurs.com!!
And for more magical creatures I found mythicalencyclopedia.com, which even has sections by type and culture of the creature. And even a section of artificial ones. And an app?? it seems??
the school therapy dog came up to me and i joked how he always comes up to me first out of my group of friends and my friend goes "puppy to puppy communication"
i am EUPHORIC i love being a puppy
*places these in front of you as if they were a religious offering* i made these for you!!!!
“you’re 21 you should be at the club” i should be sprinting downwind on all fours in the mist covered wetlands of Oregon but we all can’t have what we want now can we
Hi bird therians! I'd like to present the following list of definitions of avian terminology; instincts and anatomy. Specifically, terms for things that many birdkin may already be aware of due to their own shifts, but not know the word for or even that it's a real and normal thing. Why do I make that assumption? Because my own mind was blown every time I discovered one of these words, the way things I would do or phantom parts I would feel suddenly made sense. So I hope to induce the same reaction in at least someone.
Behaviors
Mantling is mostly a bird of prey thing, the action of leaning over a kill and shielding the spoils with your wings so as to defend it from thieves. I can do no better of a description than a photo, included at the bottom of this post and for raptors it will probably spark recognition.
Rousing is the word for that "slowly fluff up the feathers and then shake the whole body" thing that birds do. Yes, it does have a name! Birds do it when relaxed or just chilly. It is not a threat display. I experience this as like an near-involuntary action -- like scratching an itch or sneezing -- and because I'm not actually raising physical feathers it feels kind of like shivering. But it sort of feels frustrating that I can't seem to achieve it. Like when a sneeze goes away.
Feather-plucking (pterotillomania) is a maladaptive habit birds in captivity develop when they are stressed. You see it most often with parrots, because they're kept as pets more than other birds and are also extremely intelligent so more easily understimulated. Sometimes this does feel like being a bird in captivity and a lot of you might experience this instinct without knowing what it is your brain's asking to do because you have no feathers. Calling it pterotillomania is helpful to me because I have actual dermotillomania and if my body had feathers I'd be plucking them.
Anatomy
Nictitating membrane. Starting with this because you may already know it by now. The third eyelid of birds, translucent, drawn sideways across the eye so that you can keep it moist while still being able to see. Also, as you may know, relevant to cat therians!
Crop. Part of the digestive tract of a bird in the throat where food is temporarily stored before being digested. If you had these shifts it would feel like, according to Wikipedia, basically an enlarged portion of the esophagus.
Keel. An extension of the sternum, the structure to which flight muscles are attached. If you had these shifts it would feel like a thin bone going beneath (or I guess on a humanoid body plan, in front of) your ribcage.
Cloaca. In the interest of not having to mark this post mature, I will not define or describe this one. I encourage you to look it up. Mammals are already working to reduce the stigma surrounding these types of shifts and instincts; we can do the same. There is no shame in it. You're a bird and birds have these. Accept it.
Birds do have sensation in our beaks. There are nerve endings in the beak. Not as much as, say, human skin, but yes, birds can feel touch on their beaks. If you can feel your beak, great! That is anatomically correct, and it certainly does not make you fake!
And now for your enjoyment, a mantling eagle:
TOP DOG / YOU'RE MY BITCH (2024)
