people always have a lot of rude things to say about tumblr users, how we're antisocial or what have you, but don't believe a word of it. i personally have noticed a lot of people on this website are actually deeply involved in their campus greek life and i applaud them!! i don't personally know much about Theta Delta but they seem like a very positive force in students' lives, and very committed to inclusivity <3

Beware of the "I wish I was a cat" to "I am not human. This body is not mine, it's just an illusion designed for suffering." Pipeline

in preparation for this pride month i need all of you to finally learn that ace is NOT aromantic and learn the fucking difference i am so fucking sick and tired of people saying "x character is uninterested in romance, theyre ace :)" NO THEYRE NOT!!! THEYRE AROMANTIC!!!!!!!!!! THATS NOT WHAT ASEXUAL MEANS!!!!!!!!!!!

coming out of my cage and i been doing just bad. going back in my cage because i like my cage

I have to form my thoughts more coherently but with the discussions i’ve seen on Metaphorical vs Literal physical therianthropy / general nonhumanity, I have always thought it extended to more than just physical identities. But I don’t think it’s talked about enough nor acknowledged nor understood at all. I have a theory that a lot of therians actually identify in a more symbolic or metaphorical way,, whether that is psychological or spiritual or physical or something else, they don’t all identify as a 100% Real, Literal animal, though that doesn’t mean they don’t identify as an animal at all. Identifying symbolically is still identifying, but the experiences between that and more literal identity are different, and I think the distinction is important.

I think it’s the main source of a lot of identity discourse in the community, because we are running on two different types of therianthropy. Neither are wrong, neither are invalid, and neither are “less animal” or have less depth than the other, but there is this incongruence between discussions because of it.

I hope this makes sense, and I hope my observations don’t come off as rude (i’m scared people will misinterpret my words). But I’ve thought about this since forever, and I really think we need to start considering it as a possibility, because then maybe (heavy emphasis on the maybe) this identity will be more understood, and you can only hope for less infighting…

iirc, the definition of therianthropy has never really excluded more metaphorical/symbolic IDs either, it only makes sense that a large portion of the community falls under it. You only have to identify as an ‘animal’, not just a Real, Literal, Scientifically accurate animal (would exclude theriomythics and fictotherians anyways)

-> (additional note: I want to make it clear that I’m not saying i’m excluded from any this either, my dog theriotype comes from grief after all, to deny its existence as partially symbolic/metaphorical would be to deny myself. please don’t interpret this as some “I’m not like other therians” tangent)

minecraft monsters are so fucking funny weve got

zombies which look like the default player character. this has no lore implicatjons

skeletons. inexplicably they carry bows.

spiders that are two metres wide and hiss like snakes (imagine how fucking terrifying this would be in real life)

walking bush that wants nothing more than to explode while standin next to you. also theyre afraid of cats

three metre tall guy with social anxiety so bad they try to kill you if you look at them. also they can teleport

really sad ghost

zombies 2: underwater edition

spiders again but now they poison you

fish that kills you with a mind beam

i like the identifier "overhuman/humanmore." i read it and immediately thought of myself. i am a coyote. i am a jackrabbit i am a dragon. but at the end of the day, i still participate in human society and have human goals. i still find importance in my human body and mind even if it's uncomfortable. it's okay to not be "totally" animal; it doesn't make you any less valid or less alterhuman. we are all different in different ways, and that's what i think is so incredible about this community

Aromantic Experiences Bingo (blank card)

(If you're confused about the "romantic relationships are just being best friends + more emotional/ physical intimacy" (this question got asked a lot), I tried to explain this here: https://www.tumblr.com/sternenschaukler/763340936371683328/why-isnt-a-romantic-relationship-just-being-best )

Alloaros are not inherently more sexual than anyone else, and they don’t have to have sex to prove their alloaroness. An alloaro who has never had sex or who no longer has sex — whether due to not being able to find a partner, being celibate, experiencing trauma, not being ready, or any other reason — is no less alloaro than someone who has had lots of sex or who has one or more foveo(s)/FWB(s). There is no shame in an alloaro person having sexual relationships that don’t involve romantic feelings (or even platonic feelings!), but being alloaro without having sex isn’t a contradiction either.

aro culture is being in a semi-qpr with your aro best friend. we've talked about it before and the general conclusion is this: were not in a qpr, but were not-not in one either. honestly it just depends on what works best for the bit lol. get weird with it!!!!

yes! get weird with it!

MAN THIS QUADROBICS SHIT IS HARD

i've been improving at walking by pacing around my room, and can even hop a little bit. so i decided to get brave today and found a trail that i could go to to practice more. i found a cool little grove where i could walk around and no one could see me because of all the trees and logs.

it was fun, but hoLY FUCK MY ARMS HURT. they nearly gave out on me in the middle of walking. i think i've overdone it...

As a romo-repulsed, getting perceived as romantically desiring feels like a straight up assault to my rights huh??

catfish

starting to do quadrobics again was one of the best decisions ive made recently, along with starting to rp warrior cats again. to be cringe is to be free :3

While separating relationships into strictly sexual, platonic, or romantic or some combination of those is fine for understanding the aromantic and asexual spectrum at a basic level, we must eventually understand that some relationships will never fit into these categories and often queer relationships are more complex than that, and our definition of queer relationships must include abstract relationships. As a community based on gender anarchy, debasing gender roles, and freedom to love how we will, we have to move away from immediately defining relationships.

pls rb if you think cuddling doesn't have to be s3xual

im tryna prove a point to my bf's mother help me out

Polycule but it’s just two people in a romantic relationship with each other and their third who’s pretty obviously aroace but also somehow so deeply intertwined in their lives that it’d just be wrong to not count them as involved. Is this anything.

I love this image more than words can describe. Based quads representation frfr

I love doing quads with Dakota (the horse)!!!!

Ehehehehhe walkie walkie through the woods

He's always so flabbergasted... I think he tends to forget I can do that ♡♡♡

Us 🥺💖

bro relatable

never learn quads i want to walk on all fours everywhere now

it irks me when i see discussions about dissociative disorders and they’re only exclusively focused on DID or OSDD.

the only reason folk may very rarely even try to mention or consider DPDR is to use it as another throw-away example. it’s used in arguments as a gotcha and then never mentioned again, never taken into account. i’ve seen individuals explain their experience in a way that fits so perfectly with DPDR and yet it’s so overshadowed by the other more complex dissociative disorders that they may not even take a moment to consider it an option…

non-plural dissociative folk exist, and we deserve a place too

DPDR culture is realizing you don't actually remember what it feels like to not be dissociating, and every time you try to think about it the dissociation gets worse.

jsyk, most people aren’t dickwads about therian gear irl.

whenever i do quads, it’s public quads becuase i don’t 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 can’t 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.

it’s 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 don’t care how you’re dressed, or that you’re 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.

my therapist is encouraging me to find more age-appropriate interests and hobbies for Olive in addition to the sexual ones, she gave me a plushie as a gift to her
