Trained Fighting Dog

Sorry if we weren't clear. We are autistic and adhd so that affects literally everything, lol.

Anyways, we meant any "human" looking creature (so even those who are fully human). Not just alterhumans & nonhumans.

Theriform human actually works, lol. (Strikout cause original poster/creator of the term says it's not supposed to be used about humans)

(The next paragraph has religion, specifically christianity, talked about)

We know that humans are animals and aren't better than any creature, but every once in a while because of how we were raised in this life, we think of humans as "different" than most of beings. (We were raised Christian in this life, but we aren't Christian. A lot of Christians have the idea that humans aren't like other animals [this is based on our experiences with Christians, so don't come for us with the whole "not all Christians" thing]). Somehow, this kinda became a little bit of a vent about being raised Christian and shit, lol.

(We are gonna edit our original post, not getting rid of our dumbness but by using the strikeout thing)

Theriform [Official Coining Post]

Theriform Adjective (can applied as a noun in certain phrasing, see examples)

From θηρίον (thēríon) [diminutive of θήρ thḗr, “wild beast”] and μορφή (morphe) ["shape"/"figure"/"look"].

Definition:

A theriform animal is one which was born into a body that is typical/expected of it's species and observable as such by everyone, with species-typical levels of sapience/intelligence and whose behaviour is unaltered by being born into a human body/raised in a form perceived as human.

It is not the 'opposite' of therian despite similar etymology but is instead to be viewed as a complimentary term to therian, nonhuman, alterhuman, otherkin etc as it exists to specify certain details of a species whilst not invalidating the identities of those who are not theriform. It is made to replace potentially invalidating phrases like 'bio(logical) animal' or 'real animal'.

It is not an identity label and therefore has no flag or symbol and does not need one. Do not create these things please, or use the term to describe yourself on a personal level.

Alternative versions for non-animals could include: floraform, nat(ur)form, techform, fictoform, feyform, voidform, starform, divineform etc

Examples:

"Lol it's so funny being a cat and having a theriform cat as a pet we're both just kitties vibing but with different body shapes."

"Just because they're the same species are you does not mean you are able to take care of wild theriforms."

"The fact that there aren't that many theriforms of my species is so saddening."

"I wanna do quads alongside a pack of theriform wolves so bad!"

"I am transspecies, here is what I do/what I want to do to look more theriform."

"I wonder if theriforms get species dysphoria?"

Can we ask what technically fits under "niche kin"?

Edit: Cause while most of our (ShaySubpack) identities/kins are kinda common? The way we experience them might not be. And we are wondering if we did this challenge. Would it be taking it away from those it was made for?

These messages really do get a lot longer than expected, lol.

I could go into more detail about a lot of things, but then we'd probably be at this like all day, lol. While that'd be fun, it's probably better to not do that, lol.

Just want to say that you're really cool! And it's really great talking with you! I don't really have many people to talk to about all this, so it's really nice being able to ramble about memories with someone!

I just realized that I typed Shoto with the u, which he didn't have in my canon, lol. So ignore the u, I'm too lazy to go and change it, lol.

I'm glad that you told Toga Himiko that her quirk doesn't make her evil. I remember that when I first met her after the training camp [I wasn't really involved in that fight anyways], I told her that I had been called tons of names and shit because of my quirk.

I was called "Monster" "Freak" "Evil" etc.

But the one that really 'stuck' was being told that "Not even a villain would want your quirk." So, uh yeah, that sucks. They were basically saying that my quirk was so useless and bad that no one would ever want it. It's what made it easier for me to see people with "evil" or "villain" or "useless" or whatever other word people said quirks as good and deserving of love and worth so much. Quirks are really just a tool in a way. It's how someone uses it that makes the person. Quirkless people are also worth so much, and I wish that people had seen that more.

I remember giving Toga some of my blood on that day that I actually met her [this happened before I was adopted. It was like right after the dorms were made] and saying something like, "I won't let someone starve if I could help them." Cause at least in my canon, she needed to drink blood to live, so yeah. Quirk diets or whatever you wanna call them suck [I had to eat more meat and sometimes needed to eat what would essentially be raw meat, it was slightly cooked but not quite rare, but it wasn't fully raw, idk. I just know it sucked cause of being scared of how people would see me.].

Hello, I decided to come say hi and shit in an ask, lol.

I'm not good at starting conversations, but I would like to hear about any alterhuman or nonhuman experiences or memories or anything that'd you'd be willing to share!

- Zuki Shay Lupo (They/it) | a fellow noncanon MHA being/creature :3c

aaa hihi!! good to hear from you, i definitely feel you on the 'bad at starting conversations' lol!

the first thing that comes to mind a memory of playing video games with Tomura and Shuichi. I wasn't very good at it, but it was good bonding and i loved playing with them. I would only play the 'silly' games like Mario Kart or Smash Bros, they got too into the 'serious' ones for me. I finished in last place every time lmao, so i mostly spent my time teasing whoever was in second place. Dabi would sit with us too sometimes, either lazily scrolling on his phone or bothering the three of us, trying to help whoever would give him the most attention lol. The others joined in sometimes too, Himiko and Jin and rarely Sho and Toshi if they were hanging out. Himiko would shriek excitedly and bump us while Jin cheered her on and cursed her out. It was good.

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to ramble lol!! Feel free to share any memories/thoughts you have :D

For the alterhuman ask game!!

best/favorite thing about being nonhuman?

worst/least favorite thing about being nonhuman?

Hello!!!

Best/favorite thing about being nonhuman?:

This is hard because we love a lot of things about being nonhuman! Honestly, the best way to sum it up, though, is by saying that our favorite thing about being nonhuman is just that, lol. It's being nonhuman, being creatures, being animals, just all of that, lol.

Worst/least favorite thing about being nonhuman?:

This one is also hard, but it's cause we don't really have a least favorite thing if we are just talking about being nonhuman. Our least favorite thing would probably be something about how a lot of other beings might not see us for what and who we are.

Hopefully, these were good answers!

Beings who know about ethical dog breeding/breeders in the USA, we have some questions.

(We are currently trying to find good ethical german shepherd dog breeders sort of around us to get a puppy so we can train [mostly professionally trained, we have a place in mind for that] to have a service dog).

Firstly, what should be looked for in a breeders?

Secondly, is it bad if a place/being breeds multiple breeds?

And just overall, how to find good ethical breeders.

Edit: Is it best to go for a working line, or does show line work fine for service dog work?

New userbox I (the host) made.

The picture was a picture I found of a crow that is brown (it's me!!!).

- Shay (They/it) | the host, we don't have a "name" or anything for our system overall yet.

Edit: Forgot to mention that any userbox that is posted as being made from us is free to use, and no credit is required, but it is appreciated.

We are gonna open commissions soon and just use GoFundMe as the way to be paid. Link to gofundme.

Since we aren't really good at drawing we'll start the prices as (prices are based on traditional art, digital may cost less);

Level 1 (no color and kinda messy): $6

Level with color (color and kinda messy): $8

Level 2 (no color and not as messy): $8

10

Level 2 with color (color and not as messy): $12

Level 3 (No color and not messy): $14

Level 3 with color (color and not messy): $16

Examples (examples are traditional, digital will likely look different):

Level 1 (imagine this with color for that one):

Level 2 (imagine with color for the colored one):

Level 3 (imagine with color for the colored one):

Rules:

We will draw animals, anthros, humans, human-like beings (robots/androids, vampires, etc.), and items (headphones, collars/chokers, pencils, etc).

We will NOT do NSFW or tons of gore. We will do light gore (scars, a little bit of blood, bruises, etc).

We will NOT do any commissions for free, our art even though it's not that good takes time, energy, and supplies.

NO racism, homophobia, transphobia,ableism, systemmeds/pluralmeds, transmeds, proship, radqueer stuff, etc.

LGBTQ+, plural (any origin), disabled, agere, and alterhumans and nonhumans are all allowed (hate phrasing it that way but whatever).

We will do parts of the body (headshots, head and torso/body, full body, etc.) We aren't very good with hands and feet (for humans/human-like beings that aren't anthros).

After you buy the art you can do almost anything with it. You can NOT feed it to AI or anything like that. You also do not need to give us credit, although we would appreciate credit.

If you are curious about anything to do with our commissions feel free to ask! You can ask in the comments, reblogs, asks, or dms.

Edited: Also if you commission something from us please let us know on here in dms.

We aren't really good at drawing but we are thinking of starting to do commissions soon. Are there any good tips for both art and commissions?

Like what's the best way to get the money from commissions (PayPal, gofundme, etc)? [And other tips for commissions].

Also just art/drawing tips for both traditional and digital.

[We don't have a job, are working on getting disability income, and the body's dad only gets disability and retirement so we don't have very much money.]

Edit: Also, what would you like to see us try to do commissions of? (Examples: animals, anthro animals, humans/human-like beings, etc).

- Shay 🐾

Can people send us asks?

Anything but donation asks and hate asks are "allowed."

Ask us about our plurality, our nonhumanity/alterhumanity, our misceverse identity, lgbtq+ identities, anything really (except for the previously mentioned stuff).

Please, we wanna talk about stuff with people so badly, but we need the motivation and others to want to hear/read about it. (Hope this makes sense).

- Shay (They/it) 🐾

Gonna be making a new account/blog.

Gonna put a link on here to it and gonna put a link on it to here.

We will still be using this account sometimes, we just wanna have another one as well.

- Shay (They/it)

Ok, first of all, our post was not an attack or hate to you. We even got where you were coming from.

Second of all, fuck that whole end paragraph.

We don't like using those terms just the same that we don't like using system to refer to us. They just don't feel right for us. We don't look down on or anything people who use any term that we don't.

We know that therians and otherkins aren't inherently human (although they can be, let's not forget the humans under the alterhuman umbrella). We would NEVER call someone human unless they say they are human.

Also, for the bisexual thing, there are multiple different multigender sexualities for a reason (pansexual, bisexual, polysexual, omnisexual, etc). Cause some don't prefer one of the other terms. There is nothing wrong with a preference for a term.

We like nonhuman and alterhuman better cause they are the ones that we would prefer to be called. There is nothing wrong with our preference, and if you think there is, then just block us.

putting this on main actually;

it annoys me to death when folks say stuff like “i’m not a therian, im a [xyz animal]”

because hey that’s what a therian is!

to say you don’t identify as a therian because you just ARE that animal is to say that therians AREN’T really the animal they claim to be. which is so wrong. to say you don’t like the term therian because it’s ‘too human’ is so insensitive.

therians are not necessarily human! someone calling themself a therian in no way makes them human! equating therians with humans is weird!

stop treating us like we are human, stop trying to separate ‘really being an animal’ from being a therian. they are the same thing. you’re not superior or different to us because you “really are that animal”. we all are.
