Happy pride month!
Especially a big happy pride month to anyone who is in the closet, recently came out, just realized that theyre lgbtq+, lgbtq+ kids, older lgbtq+ folks, any trans person in the entire world, and trans people who don't want to/can't afford to medically transition.
I love you all very much, and I hope you're all doing well and taking some time to love yourself for who you are.
A list of my nonhuman/regression gear but it slowly turns less and less stereotypical:
1. My masks and tails. I love making masks and currently have 2 that I kept for myself. I also have a crow one I bought. I have 3 tails; wolf, coyote, and raccoon. Most I got from a renfaire I work at sometimes but I got the raccoon one from my partner because she's the best :3
2. Collars. Nuff said. Very dog. Very good.
3. Paw gloves and fingerless gloves :p
4. Chewtoys. I like biting stuff.
5. Stuffies. Specifically my raccoon and frog ones. All my stingray ones, too.
6. Small paw print blanket. Very soft. Good thing to just hold. Also my big knitted blanket. Good texture
7. My journal. Nice leather journal, my brother got me that I just fill with random thoughts and recipes. Helps me feel more creaturey.
8. Trinket shelf. I love trinkets and cool rocks. I also got a lot of bones.
9. Sticks. I have sticks everywhere from walks.
10. Paper crown and flower crown. Feels creaturey.
11. Compass necklace. There's a lot of misc. jewelry I consider gear but this one stands out.
12. My converse. All my converse. They feel like paws. I will only ever wear converse or my docs. My main 3 shoes are my glow in the dark bug converse, black converse with doodles all on em, and my brown converse specifically decorated with therian stuff.
13. My jacket and shirts. My green jacket is hgh. Me. It's me. I love that jacket. My color is green and it makes me feel like I'm me again. Its very soft too. Also, a shirt my girlfriend made me that has cut off sleeves and a bleached ribcage design that's really cool. Also have two sweaters that are very crittery and my Gorillaz shirt with their first album cover on it.
14. Anything minecraft related. I have a lot of minecraft stuff. One because I really like to play the game but also cuz it's home and I miss it.
Anyways, gear can be whatever. Have fun. (Also please talk to me about your gear that other people wouldn't really consider gear I love hearing about it.)
This. Me desperately trying to figure out what a normal person looks like in a public setting
Do you ever feel like you are trapped in this body and your disguise has reached its limits and is becoming faulty and at any moment you're just gonna go *crack* and your body will shatter into pieces and melt away to reveal your true form
One thing ya gotta know about me? I'm gonna analyze a Gorillaz song. I'm gonna dissect it like a mad scientist. I'm going to play the same Gorillaz song over and over again until I have it SWIMMING in my brain. I'll listen to so much of it that my inner monalogue will turn British.
Are my takes on the songs gonna be what was intended??? PROBABLY NOT! BUT THATS OKAY. Because I'm having fun.
I will never shut up about Chalk Tablet Towers or Souk Eye or Fireflies. OR TO BINGE.
Mmm Gorillaz.
A kid at my job yesterday: are you a boy or a girl? 🤨
Me: idk. You pick.
Him: uh, a boy. Because you have short hair and wear that jacket all the time.
Me: cool.
Happy pride month everyone.
RAAAAAH
I ORDERED MYSELF SOME EARS AND IM SO EXCITED LOOK HOW COOL THEY LOOK
I need them in my hands NOWWWWW
Mom: Just be yourself :]
Me: You try being a radioactive dog shoved into a human body and see if it gets you anywhere >:
One thing I can never forgive someone for is hating on nervous wreck Travis Miles. Oh, you think he's annoying? You don't like how he rambles and screams every other song? TOO BAD! That's my boy. And he's so right for screaming. I, too, am screaming at everything going on around me in fallout 4. Shits crazy.
I love you, nervous Travis, you and your little radio trailer.
Me when I look at pictures of cryptic messages on old TVs, and suddenly I remember strange staticky laughter and some adrenaline inducing feeling that isn't mine but still familiar. WHO ARE YOU!??? WHO ARE YOU STRANGE TV MAN AND WHY ARE YOU IN MY HEAD!?!??!
Overactive imagination? Weird fake memory??? Idfk
I really needed to hear this
to you, it's a shitty sentence. to some random bitch 500 miles away, it's a fire line that'll haunt them for the next 17 years.
you don't know how impactful your writing is because it's been in your brain for far too long now. you've stared at it for hours and repeated "this sucks" over and over again to the point that you killed your capacity to feel anything about your work.
but trust me, once you get your shit out there, someone's gonna go over that paragraph you hate and go "jesus fucking christ" and put the book down to have an existential crisis.

▪︎ Palestinian poet
Images that make me think of home.
Throwback to this poem I wrote a while back
Plain text:
There was at one time,
A man I knew who spoke
With the crackle of a fire
Who had a cough
Like the devil himself had curled up in his lungs.
Who took me places
No wicked thing ever dared to trot.
He who stood so mighty,
The king of a southern summer,
And composed of the cicadas sympathy.
It is from him
I acquired my dirty paws,
These blood fangs.
From him came this wagging tail,
And hanging tongue.
Where my king of summer lies,
With the worms in his oldest home,
I stay his heir.
I haunt this town like an unmuttered curse.
And when they dare speak my name,
As if some insulting thing,
I think fondly of the man who gave me claws and teeth.
So that their insolence is not so easily forgiven,
And just as he,
Never forgotten.
may i ask what a hearthome is? ive never heard of it before /gen
It's a place, either fictional or real, that feels familiar or like home, intertwined to your identity. Even if you've never lived there. Hope this helped.
I'd also recommend this post for a good definition :]
I've been thinking about my hearthomes today, specifically my post apocalypse one, so I made a playlist for it.
It's very green and overgrown and has a lot of places to explore and I miss it.
When one of my hearthomes IS Minecraft.
nonhuman suggestion: build your hearthome in minecraft
I really like making masks and realized I never really showed any of them. This is my main personal mask of my dog theriotype :D
The eyes glow in the dark >:]
Me when I am offputting and peculiar to strangers (they stood too close to me and I got nervous)
sorry for barking at you, it’s the trauma
I love hearing from people :]
inspired by boop day, reblog this post if its ok for people to send you random asks and interact on your posts with no judgement. i want to talk to people.

Maybe im not cladotherian and actually just polytherian. Because I still look at myself and just think, oh yeah, that's a canine. But also, over time, I've kinda just realized that it's not so much the entire genus and instead just some specific species. I also feel like my theriotypes are deeply tied to who I am, how I grew up, and how I function. I know I'm a wolf for certain. I get especially shifty in the winter, and it will stay somewhat dormant in the warmer months. I feel drawn to my coyote theriotype in the spring and summer, and having grown up in the deep south, it helps that it makes me feel more comfortable in where I call home.
My dog theriotype is pretty much always present. I'm just doglike in nature.
And then my raccoon tends to flair up, especially when I regress? Like it's usually either puppy or raccoon.
This isn't really me panicking about this or anything tbh. Sometimes, it just feels nice to talk about it.
I think one of my favorite feelings is whenever the season starts to change and I can slowly feel myself being pulled more and more towards my coyote and raccoon theriotype with all of the sun and berries and greenery growing. I know I'll still feel my wolf and that it will return a lot stronger once the earth grows cold again, but for the time being there are snacks to eat and dirt to paw at and sunny patches of grass and clover to be slept in.
NOOOO I AINT DONE NOTHIN!!!! :<
Its me!
The FDA!
The federal dog association!
Put up your pawbs!!!!
You're going in the crate!!!!
I genuinely thought people were just making stuff up about randomly meeting other therians but I got to meet two today at a festival so shout out to them because it made me really happy :]
Me and my lover and our missing parts.
nothing hits like the therian + otherkin friendship. like, you’re different but you GET me.
you’re missing your wings and i’m missing my paws but at least we’re missing them together.
I bite I bite I bite I bite I bite I-
