all your stuffed animals love you. they're not sad if they're in a box, or on the floor, or not held/played with as much. they understand. they know that you might need another stuffie more, or that you don't have enough space. they're just happy to be with you, and if you ever give them away, they'll be happy there too. stuffies are for comfort. they understand. they love you too. it's okay.
I wish boobs were detachable. Because sometimes I want to look like a genderless being, other times the outfit needs boobs.
Did you know, that I adore little darling boys who; ♠ Wear tutu skirts. [ "Look at you!! Leaping in the air, you're going so high, darling!!" ] ♠ Constantly throw around fistful of glitter and sprinkle it in their hair. [ "Pfft, you tryna make a bigger mess for Momma to clean? Ohh, I don't mind. Just for you, baby boy, you can be as sparkly as you like." ] ♠ Make tea parties with their plushies and drag their carer along (said carer happily obliging with a pinkie lifting while holding a teacup). [ " Am I doing this right? Ah, yes, shhh. Letting Mister Bun speak first, of course. Pardon my manners." ] ♠ Have a whole set of hair clips they'd attached to their carer's hair, their own, to their clothes, then to bed sheets, curtains and more. [ "Twenty!! That's a big number, darlin'.. I can see you had fun with scattering them about.." ] ♠ Messily paint their nails pretty colors and have their carer fix it up for them. [ "There we go. Look at my pretty little boy! Your hands, your cheeks, your smile, such a pretty little thing you are!" ]
happy Holliday's to everyone 🫶
ofc I'm coming to Tumblr for things like this :p
so basically, I've never been plural in my life and I for sure don't think I am. but I'm talking to something that's like a part of me like in my mind I think? I don't think I'm plural but when I have hour long conversations with myself I feel like there is something there listening and that's why they flow so well in my brain. does anyone have any idea of what this is, am I just weird
okay, ive seen way too many posts on the community tags talking about the tiktok ban and saying stuff like "i hope tiktok therians dont come in here theyre so awful and i hate them lol". and... i dont know what to tell you guys, i think thats mean as hell.
imagine, just for a second, that youre a therian on tiktok. at 13 years old, youve found a friendly community where people express themselves with masks, tails, and a type of movement called quadrobics. they seem to be having fun, so you decide to join in. and for a while, youre having fun too! you start practicing quadrobics, which is tough at first but you work hard to get better. you ask your parents for some cat masks, which you decorate with paint and faux fur. you make videos of yourself and your friends, wearing cat masks and dancing on all fours to some bland indie song.
then, out of nowhere, one of your posts goes viral. and suddenly, youre not having fun anymore.
"therians are crazy", "if you identify as a dog you should be chained and made to sleep naked outside", "my little brother came out as a therian and i bullied him until he stopped lol", "if i see a therian in the woods im shooting them", "if you want to be an animal, ill treat you like one".
again, YOURE 13. so you get defensive, because people you dont know are attacking you online and as a young teen, you dont know what to do to make it stop. so instead of confronting them, you try to please them instead. "im not crazy, im just having fun" turns into "i dont identify as an animal, only crazy people do that!" and then to "therians dont actually think were animals; thats lycanthropy and its wrong". this is what others in your community are saying, so it must be true, right? it helps slow down the criticism at least, if only for a little while; even if it never fully goes away. so you keep saying it, even to others in your community, because if it protects you from judgment, why not?
but now youre dealing with the possibility of your platform disappearing. youll lose your friends, the community youve worked so hard to be a part of. you heard some friends say they might switch to instagram if tiktok gets banned, while others prefer reddit or tumblr. Feeling curious (you didnt realize there were therians on other sites!), you decide to check out tumblr to see what that community is like there. the first post you come across at the top of the tag? "i hope tiktok therians dont come here theyre so awful and i hate them lol".
so yeah. thats the problem with making blanket statements like these; it only pushes away members of our own community. shame is not a motivator, and your aggressiveness gets us nowhere. remember, one catches more flies with honey than with vinegar. so be kind.
thank you for responding and sharing your experience!!
are there any nonhuman who are their species due to trauma with that species? I know of those who are their species caused by a trauma response but for example, a dogkin because they had been bitten by a dog
no one has to share due to trauma being a personal experience, but if anyone would like too I am very curious and would like to learn more!
if you were a loom kid did you grow up into a Kandi kid cuz same
the only thing I will say, is some people don't have control over being able to use it, at least not students in my highschool because one of the assignments my teachers gave he said we had to use chatgpt to complete it or else he would fail the student on the assignment. and normally, I would say just take the f on the assignment, but this project specifically was one of our midterms making up most of our grade and his class is required in our school. so if students did take the f, people could have very well have failed his class
I don't support the use of AI and don't think it should be used how it is right now, it is horrible but just adding some more to the story
"I know chatgpt is bad but you just don't really have any choice" you literally do. Don't use it. Have some moral backbone.
