Friendly Reminder To Never EVER Let Losers On The Internet Convince You That Alterhumanity Is Wrong Or

yeah man it's whatever idrc

*my tail slowly stops wagging and i look up at you with my big sopping wet eyes*

Massive gripe ive been having with primarily the therian community lately, I really dont feel like we focus enough on animal rights causes considering how "connected" we're supposed to be to nonhumans.

Like I see it around for sure, but when I do it usually isn't more than just "hunting for sport is bad👍" or "dont beat your dog 👍" and that's it. The main focus of the community is still very much on biologically human individuals rather than on bio nonhumans, who are very literally treated like garbage in society and it's frustrating because i feel like we should be right there on the front lines when it comes to animal liberation.

Im not saying all of us need to be members of ALF or anything, im not even vegan and have no plans to be, but as of rn the community's overall acknowledgment and support of animal rights causes is pretty pathetic. Hell, I still hear therians confidently and proudly infantilize adult/highly intelligent nonhuman species ("animals have the intelligence of human toddlers") and spread blatant misinformation about them. Shit just annoys me

yo quick shout out to objectum folks out there. im not one of you but yall seem chill as hell and have my respect fr, objectum folks are welcome on my blog anytime

"wHy aRE yOu DyspHoRic ABouT tHat PaRt??1?!!" idfk man, literally why are any of us dysphoric about anything? not sure if tiktok therians understand what dysphoria is and that like... you don't get to decide what you are or aren't dysphoric about??? sorry that not all of us fit into your neat little sanitized 1000% kindergartener friendly stereotype of what it means to be an animal, cope ig

i no joke just saw a therian on tiktok say “can our community just go back to normal” in context to the packers situation. BE SO FOR REAL??!!! we are literally THERIANS! we were never normal and we never will be. the therian community was never normal. istg 90% of tiktok therians would flip their shit if they went on tumblr and saw how our community SHOULD be in other spaces

tired animal, feel your fur against the blooms ✿

A little poster we whipped up, based on some banter with friends

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 !

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.
