i am a therian too

@awawa
Oh cool! :D

What's your theriotype? i think mines might be a wolf or dog

for me dog and rare animals

@awawa
Cool

ty

ooh yess! i don't put that im a therian cuz of certain ppl, but im one too :3

if you wanna talk about that stuff im willing to chat :D

@CalicrowXD

Oh sure :D

I'm just trying to figure out right now

tbh ive identified as therian for a year and a half and im still trying to figure it out :sob:

@CalicrowXD

I used to identify as one then i was like "Nah ima go be a christian"

But tbh i think i am one bc WHY would i just randomly start thinking i am one again after like 2 years

i kinda stopped for a while because of Christianity too (aka ignoring how i felt) and now ive gone back to therian stuff and if anyone ever asks ill say i feel close to god's creation :p

i made a tail but thats all i ever do around ppl anymore. i don't want rocks chucked at me tyvm

if you truly are one itd make sense if you're coming back to it

@CalicrowX

I ignored a lot about myself when i was a christian (I'm bi and a demigirl but i ignored it for awhile) so yeah maybe

I think my theriotypes might be a wolf and a snow leopard? I'm more sure about a wolf though

awww blitzy is so cute!! (and so me fr)

oh yeah i totally get that. im pretty much the same way. i've kinda just started ignoring what other people say and do what makes me happy. still go to church stuff but i come at it with a different mindset about it (also sorry for replying a month later lol)

im open to talking more about it though!! :D

and on the theriotypes i kinda go with the flow instead of trying to pin them down. i really just say corvid and canine. im only 100% sure on deer. its honestly less stressful

@CalicrowXD
Hoi :3

I've done a bit of research and i think one of my theriotypes might be a carrion crow

i have a ton of phantom wing shifts, behaviour etc.

I knew it was some sort of bird and did a research on a ton but carrion crows honestly just clicked as soon as i did research

For the canine part

most likely a wolf

not sure about a snow leopard anymore though

the click thing is so cool, tbh. im still not completely sure but i happened to come across maned wolves (canids that are basically a fox with stupid long legs) and it was kind of a 'that feels familiar' despite never seeing them before

ooh we can also be corvid buddies now lol :laughing:

but ive done tons of research and ppl say they really start figuring it out as they get older and mature versus instantly saying 'wolf' when they first discover it

do you make masks at all?

@CalicrowXD

Yeah i have a mask of a oc :3 but that was from before i thought i was a therian lol

ooh cool!

@CalicrowXD

Is it common to get a ton of phantom shifts?? bc i get them all of the time

i think so? i don't get em often so im not sure. there's some rly good websites you can check out for that tho

what kind of shifts do you get if you dont mind me asking?

@Calicrow

Mostly phantom shifts

sometimes the shifts where my mind goes a little more animal then human

ohhh okay. mental shifts are much more common for me (hello crow brain) but i know its very different for everyone

@CalicrowXD

I've been researching different types of wolves and i think maybe a artic wolf :3

oooh that's cool :D

ive always wondered if ive got a little, since ive always had such a big connection to em. i might try and do more research for once.

i don't remember the name of the websites i used to use, but i can find em for you. it's always made research a little easier

but do you think i should actually pin down what my animals specifically are or just leave it alone?

@CalicrowXD

You do you ig

I'm only pinning it down bc i just wanna connect my experiences to something

Also i do a bit of research on wikipedia and watch a ton of documentaries :3

ahh that's fair. i dunno i might just so im not misinterpreting smthn.
but Wikipedia is great! sometimes i find good stuff on tumblr too for therian specific stuff :3

@CalicrowXD

Just found out that wolves and crows are like kinda friends and It's so cute :sob:

Crows find carcassess and weak prey for wolves :3

oh my goodness that's adorable

@CalicrowXD

They also eat meals together sometimes :sob:

okay do you ever get mental stuff outside of full shifts? it's like, weird brain stuff during your day to day life. cause ill like, rip meat appart in a certain way or i watch things outside in a 'weird' way too. but recently ive discovered i show affection like a wolf. i'll headbutt shoulders (or even bonk heads) or flop my entire weight into someone i like (best frien especially) and rly just be all up in their space. only with people i like tho. you ever experience that??

@CalicrowXD

OMG YES????

I LOVE WATCHING BIRDS OUTSIDE

and my affection is weird

AND ALSO THE EATING??

okay thank you! it's not just me :sob:

it's SO weird but i don't really hear people talk about it. but i was watching videos about wolves and it was kind of a 'oh... thats me'

@CalicrowXD

Ikr??

I love having a wolf theriotype bc i love them sm they're adorable :sob:

they are :sob:

people are scared of them but id LOVE to see one in person. they're so flipping majestic

but i watched a video of the yes theory channel about them and i think you might like it. they got to spend three days getting to know them at a rescue

@CalicrowXD

I watched this rlly cool documentary about artic wolves a few years ago and they're rlly nice animals

Once they actually trusted the guy who was staying close to their den they got close to him and he was able to play with the pups ahd stuff IT WAS SO CUTE

Also like- wolves only really care about their family, they're really family based animals

@CalicrowXD

The ONLY reason humans are scared of wolves is because when humans started taking over parts of the world, they had to cut down forests and hunt game, So the wolves that lived there had to start eating livestock so humans started hunting wolves

So the reason humans are scared of wolves is just because wolves took their livestock

That's why there's not many wolves now and the ones that are actually here are terrified of humans

It's honestly really sad

it is super sad

but i think i watched that too!

@CalicrowXD

Omg what was it called? :D

It was called uh the wolf family and me i think?

something like that? it's been a long time. i just remember watching something like that in 2020

@CalicrowXD

I just thought of a cool gear thing :3

So like- If you wear heavy earings maybe it'd make your ears feel bigger and more animal like?

ooh i actually have some heavy ones. i'll have to test that out
