These Are So Fun To Make

"You don't seem like you'd be a coyote-"

AND I DON'T HAVE TO

Identities are much more than surface level appearances and behaviour, and no one has to "look" or "seem" like one of their kin/kith types.

Animals, mythical beings, fictional characters, etc etc, can have different personalities and traits that make them unique.

A lion doesn't have to be strong and courageous. A dragon doesn't have to be big and powerful. A rabbit doesn't have to be meek and fragile.

How we experience our alterhumanity and nonhumanity is unique, and it's not solely dictated by what we are and who we identify as.

Just because I don't "seem" like I'd be a coyote doesn't mean I'm not one.

Be aware of the discord server "Therian festive forest"

The server is a huge server with multiple thousand members, which is why I'll be discussing this a little further. It's run by a 15yo.

When i got accepted into the server i asked to talk to an adult staff member about their rule that states that you arent allowed to mention being objectum.

After a staff member created a ticket for me, i tried explaining why the rule is 1. Feeding into a harmful stereotype, and 2. Can have negative effects on objectum folk such as shame and blaming oneself for their HARMLESS attraction.

Instead of an adult, which i asked for, multiple minors started talking to me (+ one actual adult). That's also where i found out about the age of the owner.

Not only did they handle the situation incredibly immature, they also made fun of me, kept deleting messages and didnt really respond to my arguments at all. Instead they kept repeating how i can be in the server if i just hide myself and keep my mouth shut about the topic.

The issue wasn't about myself. It was the general rule that feeds into the stereotype of objectum being harmful and something bad that you shouldn't talk about.

So, instead of actually trying to solve the problem with me, they ignored most of my messages and then started bringing up trans IDs.

After i stated that u cannot compare trans ids to objectum since trans ids are infact harmful while objectum isnt they started to attack me personally for being transspecies wich i havent mentioned in the chat at all, its in my bio and they just brought it up for whatever reason.

They stated Transspecies is a transID, its invalid and disrespects transsgender people.

I tried to explain to them how transspecies literally has been a thing way longer than transIDs but again they didnt give a shit and instead told me im not valid.

I told them Transspecies is part of the Alterhuman umbrella, their response was telling me alterhumanity is strictly non physical.

Not only is this false but i also provided them a source (otherkin wiki) wich they ignored again.

I then got banned with the reasoning "claims that objectum and transspecies is valid and that alterhumanity includes physical identities"

So basically they told me i can be in the server if i dont bring up objectum in the channels but then proceed to ban me for.. being objectum?

Okay bud.

In conclusion, this server is not just anti objectum they are also anti transspecies aswell as anti physical therianthropy/nonhumanity.

I can not recommend this server to anyone who is looking for an open and welcoming community.

ear wings are the coolest!! -ear wing enjoyer with (sadly only phantom) ear wings

YESSS! Ear wings are the coolest :] I would love to have physical ear wings - it sucks only having phantom shifts. 😭

covers face with wings.

This is literally me

This happens too many times 😭

I've had a temporary one of a horse and sheep - but I don't believe they're official 💀.

polytherian culture is trying to figure out if the thing you're looking at is a newly discovered theriotype or just a temporary flicker

-

me? a dog?

by golly, you must be mistaken sir! ain't no dog here! i'm a full-blooded 100% pure human! top grade, bestest human!

Wishing I could be fully out as a therian all the time. It sucks that I can't.

One of my friend groups is not furry or therian friendly. They've made fun of a friend of mine for being therian. So I can't really tell them but my other group has at least one therian. My red fox buddy, and they're super cool! I want to talk to them more.

I love being a canine kin.
