I may be a goofy doggo but being a doggo ain't gonna stop me from devouring a whole pack like the gluttenous beast I am ππππππ
TW Vent, swearing, species and gender dysphoria talk
I just fucking hate having a female, human body. When going out I have to choose to look boring and pass or be myself and risk getting misgendered. Another greaattt ( /sarc) thing is having weird teeth which inhibits be from wearing fang extenders. The one tiny little thing that could make me feel all the less human whilst still seeming "normal" I can't use.

shameless self promo time im attempting to post therian content on tiktok more yall should like, totally go check me out ngl ππ
One time I was walking around by myself downtown (don't remember what I was doing there lol) and was wearing one of my tails, and as I crossed the street some younger teens (probably like late middle school/early high school) started barking at me once we were on different sides of the street. I turned around and playfully was like "C'mon I literally hear that all the time, be more original!", to which they then proceeded to start meowing at me instead. Then a couple of them started apologizing for their friend's behavior, and one of them asked if it (referring to my tail) was a kink thing. "No, I just think it looks cool :)" I told them before they waved at me and walked off.
Honestly shout out to them lol, I hardly ever get negative reactions out in public with my gear but when I do it's almost always kids just trying to goof around and look cool in front their friends, and most likely aren't genuinely trying to be malicious. Never put yourself in danger or submit to harassment ofc, but also never forget that taking a second to put your guard down and just talking to someone can go a really long way.
jsyk, most people arenβt dickwads about therian gear irl.
whenever i do quads, itβs public quads becuase i donβt have a backyard, i live in an apartment complex.
i have had in depth conversations with people who reacted positively to seeing me do quads.
i have talked at length with unhoused people in full therian gear (using only my AAC no less)
i literally just waved and said hi (with gestures, bc i canβt talk) to some landscapers who were cleaning up the grass on the field i usually do quads at! they asked me how i was doing and i nodded and smiled.
itβs literally only losers on social media who are gonna shit on you. i have gotten one, irl negative reaction to someone seeing me do quads in full gear. which was immediately shut down when i smiled and waved.
in general, real life people donβt care how youβre dressed, or that youβre doing a weird sport. they care that you are kind and pleasant to them.
if they do care, being out in public and being face to face (and not hiding behind a screen) with you is gonna greatly change how they interact with you.
do whatever you want forever. no one is gonna stop you. i love you.
As promised, the final products of how I ended up styling these !! (Wander ear and waist reveal no fucking way guys ((not clickbait :0))
went to a thrift store earlier today and got this super cute collar + vintage rabies vaccination tag
im not super big on wearing collars (hate the feeling of pressure against my neck, also im not domestic lol) so i'll probably use the collar as an accessory for my pants or something, and I think i'll turn the rabies tag into an earring !! π― β§βΛ βΎ
Not taking into consideration the limits of modern tech or affordability, Vernids are a super good representation of what my ideal physical species transition would look like, short of just straight up shapeshifting.
(Art not mine)
When trying to envision my ideal form, the biggest obstacle Ive run into is trying to choose which kintype I'd lean into most heavily, like whether I'd want to be predominantly wildebeest or african wild dog, a pretty impossible task since prioritizing one at the expense of others would still leave me feeling incomplete.
But with Vernids, most of the core traits I'd want in a physical form remain present (digitigrade legs, paws, fur, etc.), but are still kinda shuffled around to create something new altogether. I think literally the only thing I'd change is I would probably want shorter, more canine-like ears. But otherwise if I could press a button to look like these guys I'd do it so fast.
Jumping on the species transition plans trend lol, here are some ways I plan to physically and socially transition !
Physical:
β’ Fang Implants
- I will get these if it kills me.
β’ Digitigrade Leg Prosthetics
- Stupid expensive but omfg these would bring me sm euphoria, even if I could only wear them every now and then. Paws crossed they'll become cheaper and more accessible in the near future.
β’ Realistic Tail with Silicone Core
- Also generally pricey but significantly more accessible. I love wearing taxidermy tails but am always frustrated by how disproportionate they are to the size of my body and how they just limply hang there, having smth that looks more natural and moves with my body would be huge.
β’ Tattoos
- Unsure of what exactly I'd want, maybe paw/hopf prints on the backs of my hands?
β’ Colored Contacts
- Would need to find some that are comfortable, durable, and don't impact my vision too much (im blind enough as is), but Im very ready to go "It's the fluorescents π" mode.
β’ Reflective Contacts
- I have absolutely no idea if these are real things or not but I would actually kill a man to have contacts that reflect back when someone shines a light on them in the dark.
β’ Piercings
- Idk lots of piercings just give me werewolf vibes ig lol, currently planning to get a second industrial, 1-2 eyebrow piercings, and snakebites.
β’ Muscles
- Having more visible muscles/being strong is very animalistic to me, after all most animals in the wild have to be physically fit to survive.
β’ Realistic Ear Headband
- Goes along the tail, would love to wear these frequently and casually out in public. Kemonomimi gaining popularity has opened up so many possibilities to me it's epic.
β’ Top Surgery
- Species identity and gender identity are deeply linked for me, most things that are gender affirming are also species affirming and vice versa. Having a flat chest would feel hella animal-like.
Social:
β’ Come Out to Friends and Family
- This is definitely the biggest one. Unfortunately greater society isn't really ready for species transition, but some individuals definitely are. Basically just let those I trust know who I am, and that it would be wonderful if they could refer to me as nonhuman when they can :]
β’ Unmask Animalistic Behaviors in Public
- Be less afraid to be a little more nonhuman around others like it's the most normal thing in the world. Using my hand to bat at my ear when it itches, yip and whimper to accentuate words, practice quadrobics, etc.
β’ Advocacy
- Talk to people irl about nonhuman identities, be visible at events, create informative resources, even if it's scary. Most people have no idea that we exist, showing them that we're out there and here to stay paves the way for successful transition on a larger scale.
Hopefully more options will become possible soon, those of us looking to pursue species transition are kinda limited by the technology of our time, which sucks balls. Especially for someone like me who doesn't like body/facial hair or extreme body mods, I dont have too many realistic options for the time being. Oh well, just means I'll have to get creative i guess.
Fictional characters that I headcanon as alterhuman/speciesqueer and why !
Not my usual content but whatever this is my blog and I can do whatever I want :P
Nimona (Nimona 2023) - Speciesfluid
I rlly don't think I need to explain this one lol. Moving on!
(Couldn't find a flag for this </3)
Robin (Robin Robin 2021) - BiSpecies
Refers to herself as a mouse throughout the whole movie and wears her feathers purposefully styled to resemble mouse ears, continues to happily wear said ears even after embracing her identity as a bird. She's a bird and a mouse without a doubt.
Luz Noceda (The Owl House 2020) - Otherhearted
I dont have much reasoning behind this tbh, I just feel in my soul that she's alterhuman in someway (projecting) and it seems fitting for her, probably bat hearted or smth lol
Standford Pines (Gravity Falls 2012) - Nonhuman
Are you seriously gonna try and tell me that this man traveled across the multiverse for years and still came back feeling completely human? Yeah right
Jinx (Arcane 2021) - Voidpunk
Also dont feel like this one needs a lot of explanation :P
Roz (The Wild Robot 2024) - Transspecies
"I feel fine" "You are defective. You are in the wrong place, and you have become the wrong thing." Damn okay we're not choosing to be subtle about this huh? Also our quadrobics queen <3
Enid Sinclair (Wednesday 2022) - Therian
Casually refers to herself as a cat despite (supposedly) being a wereWOLF, mannerisms and personality resemble a social feline more than a canine, especially compared to the other werewolves we see in the show. I know what you are Sinclair ποΈποΈ
Rafiki (Mufasa 2024) - Alterbeing/Species Non-Conforming
Is largely unbothered when others refer to him as a baboon, only corrects them when he's trying to make a point. I just feel like he'd be very chill about identity and have a sort of go with the flow attitude towards it.
Vee (The Owl House 2020) - BiAnthro
Girl is LITERALLY human and nonhuman simultaneously. Look at her. She is 1000% too cool for anyone else's binaries.
Masha (The Owl House 2020) - Therian/Otherkin
I. just. KNOW. this bitch runs a therian tumblr blog. Idk how but I do. Def joined the community through tiktok before eventually making the switch to tumblr and was able to fully grow into themselves and their identity. Teaches Vee how to do quadrobics.
Lest (Arcane 2021) - Transspecies
Transfem catgirls go prrrrrrrr
Hunter (The Owl House 2020) - Furry
Dude loves wolves, literally makes his own wolf shirt so he can wear it around. Im sorry but it does not get anymore furry coded than that. Also I just think the mental image of him running around in a fursuit is hilarious and I love it sm
RADQUEERS AND PROSHIPPERS FUCK OFF THIS POST IS NOT FOR YOU. IF I SEE YALL INTERACTING IM INFECTING YOU WITH RABIES ON SIGHT
went to a thrift store earlier today and got this super cute collar + vintage rabies vaccination tag
im not super big on wearing collars (hate the feeling of pressure against my neck, also im not domestic lol) so i'll probably use the collar as an accessory for my pants or something, and I think i'll turn the rabies tag into an earring !! π― β§βΛ βΎ
developing a kintype/theriotype via subconscious imprinting is actually so funny when u think about it, this shit deadass like when martha ate alphabet soup and suddenly learned to speak english somehow
finally got the piercings ive been wanting for years the other day (!!) and i haven't quite gotten used to the extra weight of the earrings being in so i very much feel like this rn lol
Just for the record, I would like to clarify that while yes this post is 1000% inclusive of therians/otherkin/alterhumans in general, in fact one of the main reasons I wrote it stemmed from my frustration about there not being enough species-inclusive language within human dominated society for individuals who don't conform to ideas about humanity, it's also very much so about biological/theriform animals as well. Please do not leave these beings out in discussions about anti-homo sapien supremacy and speciesism.
Your beloved childhood dog is just as much of a person as your dog therian friend is. Centering human lived experiences at the expense of other creatures, even from nonhuman people, is still a form of speciesism, please don't forget about the different kinds of animals you share the Earth with when talking about making the world a more welcoming and inclusive place!!
I think we need to normalize using "people" as a species neutral word.
Like idk in my brain the word people just doesn't automatically = human. To me it's just a way to signify intelligence and individuality, and to emphasize the need for respect towards another creature, not specific to any one species.
Dogs can be people, mice can be people, dragons can be people, humans can be people, birds can be people, elves can be people, robots can be people, and so on.
It's also (in my opinion) just much easier than always saying "beings" or "individuals" when referring to varying assortments of creatures.
Interested about if any other critters out there have had experiences with medications impacting shifts in some capacity!
For me, I get hella dog cameo mental shifts when Im on my adhd meds lmao. I have absolutely no idea why, but it's kinda cool ig. Arf arf.
I felt the first twinge of migratory instincts yesterday.
There wasn't anything particularly significant about the day. It was a bit warmer than it had been the previous week, the temperature jumping from low 30s up into mid 50s. It was drizzling and most of the snow has melted by now, but one could hardly say it was spring weather just yet. But regardless, some voice inside me started its quiet whisper "it's time to get going".
Ive had these instincts for years now, long before I ever realized I was a therian, much less a wildebeest specifically. They've grown more intense as I've gotten older, as is the case with most of my alterhuman tendencies, though they've become less overwhelming since Ive graduated high school and haven't been cooped up inside 7 hours a day.
Biological wildebeest are kind of constantly on the move, always following the rains, though the real spectacle of their travel actually does begin around this time of year, although season-wise it's nearly autumn for them rather than the start of spring like it is for us up here. They begin to migrate northwest, but interestingly my instinct always, without fail, guides me southeast, down towards Florida. I guess in some way that makes sense, we're both heading towards the same general region just with different starting points.
As spring blooms further here in the U.S, I know my instincts will get stronger and stronger, they always do. I'll crave the travel to warmer, wetter climates, encouraged by downpours and claps of thunder in the distance. My soul will scream at me to pack a small bag and just start walking, I never want to travel exclusively by car or plane, walking is what feels most natural. Trekking alongside what should be thousands and thousands of others who look, feel, and sound exactly like me, lost in a faceless herd.
It's beyond frustrating to long for a nomadic lifestyle in a society that all but demands a sedentary one. School, jobs, relationships, none of those things are built to properly survive a season of walking/hitchhiking across the country, at least not without serious fore-planning. Maybe one day I'll make it happen, hopefully I will, but it likely wont be for many years. I have too much going on right now. Until then I'll continue wishing I could just drop everything and head southeast the second I hear that whisper.
the werewolf (me) has begun its nightly hunt to satiate its ravenous hunger (air frying chicken strips after work)
Putting myself back out into the dating scene has reminded me of how scary the thought of coming out as nonhuman to others can be, and the thought of having to come out to a human partner has been giving me a decent bit of anxiety.
It's easy with friends, most just accept that there's something a little "not human" about me, whether that comes from being a furry or just a general vibe, they get it. I don't have to actually sit down and explain exactly what I am to them unless I really really want to. But it's different with a partner, someone I want to be in a serious long term relationship with. It isn't something I could just casually neglect to tell them, at least not forever. I've always been bad at hiding things about myself from others, having to keep my therianthropy a secret from someone Im in a serious relationship with would be next to impossible, not to mention emotionally exhausting. I would want them to know and embrace it, but I can't pretend like there isn't a possibility that wont happen. Coming out to partners in the past hasn't gone quite the way Ive would have liked, nothing bad, but it just ended up feeling like an unspoken taboo between us and it kinda made me feel like shit. Like it was something that they loved me in spite of.
Ideally I'd love to be with another alterhuman, but obviously that more than halves my available options which are already small to begin with on account of the whole being gay thing. Idk it just stresses me out, I wish I could feel comfortable being my full self around someone else, animal and all, but I don't think Im ever going to find someone who isn't a little weirded out by it unfortunately.
ive been in the alterhuman community for years atp and it genuinely still amazes me that there are actually people out there who just feel... totally human. all the time. like what lol.
Im gonna say smth that a lot of yall aren't gonna like but whatever Im tired of nobody talking about it.
The therian community's obsession with zoos is stunting a lot of the cultural growth that we could be having rn.
Soooo many of us are so goddamn busy with trying to prove that we're not zoos or accusing each other of being zoos or shouting from every rooftop available that we're different than zoos, when we could be doing so many more productive things.
You wanna keep potentially dangerous individuals out of the community, I understand that, really I do. But do you wanna know how many animals are saved from abuse by us dogpiling (no pun intended) on someone who incorporates their nonhumanity into kink? Or who speaks honestly about genitalia dysphoria, or instincts to court members of the species they identify as? Or hell, who even acknowledges that there is an overlap between therianthropy and zoo attraction? Zero.
It doesn't really protect anyone, all it does is prevent us from speaking honestly about our experiences, diving into the nitty gritty of what it actually means to be an animal living as and among humans, out of fear that something we told to someone in confidence is going to end up in a google doc next week. No, wanting to have nonhuman body parts does not automatically make you attracted to biological animals. No, being attracted to alterhumans over humans does not automatically make you attracted to biological animals. No, wishing you had a nonhuman family does not automatically make you attracted to biological animals. The only thing that makes you attracted to biological animals is being attracted to biological animals. It truly is not rocket science.
I haven't seen it be as much of an issue here on Tumblr because I guess there's overall less mob mentality and beings are more capable of using critical thinking skills, it's just been frustrating watching so many of the younger/newer members of the community turn into the "crucify zoos at any and all costs" club and trying to strong arm all forms of animalistic sexual expression out of the community to avoid any possible association with zoos from outsiders (spoiler alert: you could sanitize the entire community to the point of chemical burns and uneducated doorknobs would still swear up and down that every last one of us are zoos)
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
"you cant identify as transspecies, thats not a real thing!! you'll always be human it's not even possible to transition to another species!!"
Fucking. Watch me.
how it feels when my human friends send me wolf and dog videos because they remind them of me
my new year's resolution (yes ik it's mid january stfu) is to talk about and make more content relating to my other kintypes and focus a little bit less on my coyote/wolf/werewolf-ness
dont get me wrong, i do enjoy talking about those parts of myself and they are important. but my other kintypes are also really important. ive been guilty of letting them take a bit of a backseat because ik more people will be able to relate to living as a canine and that kind of content is going to get the most traction. but in doing that i know im doing myself and my community a huge disservice, and i want to try to do that less.
like yes im very much so a coyote and a lycanthrope, but im also an otter and a wildebeest and an african wild dog and a survivor of the apocalypse and a corvid and a reindeer, and i want to talk about those things too !

I think one of the greatest feelings an individual can experience is believing for years that you're fundamentally different from everyone else in the world in some way and that you're the only person alive who experiences something in a particular way, and then one day all of a sudden you stumble onto another person like you and all you can think is "Im not the only one?"
How are you TransSpecies but also dont want TransIDs to interact with you?/genq
TransSpecies is a Trans Identity/nm
Yep you're right, transspecies is a trans identity, not transID, it's a normal and healthy identity to have, similarly to transgender. It is neither discriminatory to minority groups nor impossible to achieve transition for the way that transIDs are. It's also a label that's been used within the alterhuman community long before transID terminology ever became a thing, it's just something that's been stolen from us against our wishes. If transgender isn't transID then neither is transspecies, and if it is then there's literally no reason to have the distinction between "trans" and "transID" to begin with.
I don't want transID interacting with me because they fetishize and promote stereotypes about a lot of already stigmatized groups of people, some of which I myself am a part of or of which many of my friends are. I will not stand for discrimination here. There are some transID's I feel slightly more neutral on (ex. transage or transoccupation, pretty much any that don't specifically target marginalized groups) and don't really care all that much if they wanna interact for whatever reason, but overall Ive found transID individuals in general to be very insulting and entitled and would generally just prefer not to engage with them.
I have a more in-depth explanation of this sort of thing a little ways down on my blog but that just about covers the basics I think, thanks for the ask! <3 :]
Just wanted to throw this out there rq but just to make it clear I love receiving messages from folks and am super duper okay with DM's !! Id like to be more personally involved with the community beyond just shitposts and reblogs lmao, and I have so many genuinely amazing and cool mutuals I'd love to get to know better so if anyone ever wants to start up a convo in DM's, ask me questions, or send random kintype posts accompanied by a "you" message, Im 1000% down for that :]
I forgot to make a post about it sooner lol, but I ended up printing out a bunch of those theta delta stickers I designed a while back! I didn't sell them or anything, just for personal use and to give out to other therians I encountered irl, but I had a ton of fun sticking them up around Washington over the course of a few months so enjoy a quick photo dump :3
If anyone encounters any of these (or others, there's some i didn't include here) out in the real world don't be afraid to shoot me a message and let me know! id absolutely love to see how they're holding up <3 Therian pride 4ever β
Also if anyone is curious i used StickerApp to get them printed and would highly recommend to anyone interested in making stickers of their own, they have awesome service and great quality for the price!
