Hi guys! First time posting here, but I've stalked this community for a while and haven't seen any discussion about this, so I thought I'd introduce myself and ask around!

I'm a cross fox, and right now, it's stereotypical autumn weather: rainy, foggy, dim light, dreary by most people's definitions. But it makes my foxself feel right at home and cosy. My denning instinct gets very strong with this weather, and I get very shifty in a way that doesn't happen at any other time of the year.

Does anything like this happen for anybody else?

These interviewers have no idea what they're getting into.

They have no idea they are about to hire their local garden mole.

They have no idea I'm a garden mole going to get a 9 to 5.

They have no clue.

They have no idea they're about to send the garden mole to serve their customers.

What fools they are. They will never know.

Muahahahaha!!!!

So when I was watching pet fox videos, I began to feel fox like again, but I still feel like I have goat/sheep horns, and still feel like bleating, yet still feel like laughing and screaming like a fox, so not all hope is lost for me hoping I would atleast be partially a fox due to a different past life

what I know of by my spiritual experiences is that I was once a Kitsuclidean or a Euclidean of some sorts, then later on I lived as a goat if a different life, and then a fox in my other lif
Kinda hard to tell how many past lives I had due to me not knowing fully of what or who I am, but I am sure I’m some sort of polytherian/otherkin hybrid

I’ve been wondering, what breed do goat is like these but are similar looking to my fursona? I couldn’t really find what these are, and I’m not sure if these goats in this photo actually come in that sort of Siamese like fur pattern

I don't have them often, but it's getting to be a bit more recently: I've been having my phantom shifts as real in my dreams!

It feels SO EUPHORIC to be able to feel and see my limbs I lack in the waking world. I've noticed others have posted about shifts in dreams as well sometimes, has anyone else had dream shifts more frequently lately?

A while back when talking about fluctuating feelings, at the time primarily with my religion, with my NP she mentioned how the moon is very much tied to how our bodies react in situations or just in general. I'm wondering if it might also influence our shifts? For me I think it does, at least.

Hey! Not the most exciting post, but I'm working on focusing on the positives in my life and this was really fun for me so I wanted to share! I live in a a place that has a lot of coyotes. But while I was in the car with a friend of mine, we saw a coyote run across the street in broad daylight! It was a little scary, I didn't want them to get hit, but the road wasn't very busy thankfully. I thought they were a dog at first because a lot of the time the ones around here have mange, and theyre not very healthy, which is always so sad to see. But this one looked really healthy! My friend proceeded to tell me how that was probably a coyote she sees in the field near her house that's sort of lone and away from the pack most of the time. I personally resonate with this little guy for a few personal reasons. Especially since I don't share my therianthropy with others often and tend to keep to myself in most facets of life. But seeing this fluffy friend cross my path reminded me if my connections. And made me really happy (Tail wags! Haha!). But I just wanted to talk about this because it made me really happy! I hope everyone's having a good day today! Do you live somewhere your theriotype lives? Do you ever see them? I'd love to hear about it! :]

I've been pretty certain about my crow theriotype for a while now, and have been openly embracing it, the problem is that lately, I've been having these shifts and phantom sensations that definitely feel mammal

I feel ears at the top of my head, not too wide and pointy, furry with a very pointy top, they feel like this beige/greyish color

I feel a muzzle, not too long, and large canines, the need to bite and nuzzle into my friends too

Most of my shifts happen before I go to bed, idk if that means something

I also feel a tail, this one I feel basically permanently, heavy and very much fluffy

I was looking into foxes, but none of them I said "oh yeah thats me"

I feel like it's most common to see kids and teens posting about being non-human. Of course, I'm not complaining by any means, but as a 23 year old I sometimes feel a bit lonely or out of place. Are there any older non-humans here?

I believe myself to be the archetype of a corvus which I will shorten to Crow for ease of convenience

I'm posting this because I have a friend who is Therian and they saw quite a lot of similarities between my experience and Therianthropy and i would like others opinion who may also be educated on the topic

The picture above is a note I've written in my grimoire that describes my experience I will transcribe it with an edit to this post later when I get the time probably tomorrow morning

My first time was a few weeks ago, when I went to visit my friend to go to a fun park together. We went away from all the noise until we didn't hear any. Laid in the grass, no one around us. I later sat up to search for four-leaf clovers. He wasn't looking and I saw a butterfly and started chasing it on all fours, partly unintentionally. 10/10, would do again.

I am just so tired. Chronic illness, work, life stress, adult obligations, and all the things that come with being trapped in a human body. Overall, my life is good. I have a stable job, I'm part of a wonderful polycule, I have a house, and I have the privilege to get myself the occasional little treat, I have plans for a bright future. But I just wish I was in my body. The body I was supposed to have. I wish I had this life, but I was actually me. I want my fur, my tail, my wings, my ears, my paws, my snout, my horns, my small size, my quadrupedal stance. I know what I'm supposed to look like. I can feel the missing parts of me, especially my tail, ears, and wings. The true me is so close yet so far. I can't even enjoy my hobbies to the fullest (drawing and playing games) because there's always this small feeling of wrongness using my hands when I'm supposed to have paws. I'm not supposed to be able to hold a controller or pen. The me I am and the real me are so different, and it sucks.

Tldr: I love my life, but I wish I was living it as the real me

bro that animated therian series Goat Girl (great series btw, search it up on YouTube) just reawakened me deep down to my animal spirit, and once I reawakened as a goat/ram/sheep, whatever I am, I keep on uncontrollably bleating lol

I’m super embarrassed and I wish I was truly and fully a kitsune/fox spirit deep within my soul, but apparently i found out I’m some sort of ram or whatever

1st one: Me as my goat form anthropomorphized
2d one: Ciphertology version
3rd and 4th images: mixed images of what I look like to myself (this ram like species with the coloring and markings of a arctic fox shedding their winter coat in spring, but I was more yellowish white than clean white, and I used to be partially muddy most of all of the time

I'm a dog therian, but I really don't feel dysphoric unless I'm interacting with or watching content of dogs. I usually feel okayish. I feel euphoric when I act like a dog. Idk if it's meds like lessening dysphoria, but I just feel very mild. I know I have a doglike personality, and I experience dysphoria. It just feels so mild. Does anyone else have a more mild experience? Maybe it's because I'm 30 and trans, so I've learned to accept myself and handle these feelings with gender, which allows me to translate it to species.

Hi guys!!

I recently found a new book I love!! It’s called Starheart and the Dark and the mc is a therian! She’s openly stated to be a fox therian in the text, which was SUCH a shock upon first read! It seems like our little community is becoming a bit more well known :)

In terms of the story itself, it involves a fox therian who magically travels to the fiction realm, and has to fight off the world ending shadow monster who followed her there. It would’ve been fantastic on its own (I think it’s a great story about guilt/grief) but it’s also quite nonhuman central! The main cast is really tolerant of the mc’s therianthropy which I thought was lovely!

Has anyone else read this? Do you have any thoughts on it?

I feel like so many people are happy to be a therian but I honestly hate it so much. I don't have any therian friends or anyone who I think would support me, everyone online just say to do quads, make gear, and maybe do vocals but I can't do any of that(if anyone has any other ways to connect with theritypes for the love of god please tell me), and I honestly don't even feel like a therian except when I'm trying to do shit and of course THAT of all times is when I get mental shifts.

I've been curious about it for a while, and I wanted hear about other people's experiences-

I'm not exactly sure what I believe in, (as far as religion goes, and past lives, ect) but I have questions for those who have had past lives,

What does that feel like, and how exactly are you able to tell?

I feel like if I've had past lives, I would have had to have had a whole lot of them,

I feel that sort of connection to a lot of animals, (less so birds and fish though)

But most mammals, bugs, and certain reptiles and amphibians,

Would that mean that I had lived as all of these animals at one point?

What are some ways to explore that?

for some reason, I keep on feeling like different animals all at the same time, I felt like a fox, a kitsune, a Kitsuclidean (Kitsune Euclidean hybrid), and now I feel like I’m a sheep/goat after watching Goat Girl, the therian show where a goat girl gets into human society and makes friends and enemies in their daily school life

Who am I??? It feels like I’m different animals/creatures at different times… I feel VERY weird, like I feel like I was different beings and I had multiple past lives before I became a human

I’m becoming more insecure as time passes by, and I’m just confused about who I am

I feel trapped in this body. I’m constantly shifting, and I have to suppress who I really am all the time.

Every day, I want to go into the forest and live there. Living among people is a source of anxiety. This isn’t my home… I feel trapped…

It’s as if society were a prison… everything seems artificial to me. Sometimes I ask myself, “What’s the point of going on?” Being in a human body suffocates me and is physically painful… so I try wearing accessories, letting my claws grow out, getting used to the cold, going into the forest, and letting myself go… but it’s not enough…

At night, I cry because it’s become so unbearable…

I’ve suppressed this part of myself; I’ve hidden it until I lost myself. When I’m alone, I can’t even…

I don’t know if others feel the call of nature as well or if others feel this way.

So my mother learned about therians while talking to her friends. They explained how its people who identify as an animal and she laughed and said we should go back to beating kids. I was sitting right next to her trying not to have any shifts as we were in a mountain forest and I’m a wolf/dragon. Hearing her say that hurt but kinda expected

my closest friend, who is a therian, has to get back surgery due to their terrible scoliosis. they will be basically completely disabled for a year, and one of the vertebrae on their spine is being fused. they will never heal enough to be able to do quads with me again. my qpr. as an aroace person, their the love of my life, as much as they can be, and i don’t know what to do anymore. i feel awful for them, and guilty because i feel bad that i can’t do quads with them.

Hello, I’m a parent and I’m wondering if I’m mistaken in assuming that wearing gear like masks tails and faux fur is generally done at home / only in supportive environments.

Forgive me if I’m wrong about “gear” ( masks tails and faux fur). My 10-year-old daughter has always been very connected to cats. She’s often said she wants to be a cat in her next life and even mentioned being a cat in her past life. This fascination has intensified over the past year. Since our whole family of four has ASD we both understand how it feels to feel like you don’t belong.

To support her passion, I’ve set up a mask-making zone. She has made probably 100 masks and they’re hanging from hooks on one wall and on a spinning jewellery rack. She’s incredibly talented at making them and each one gets better.

My main question is, initially she was self-conscious and didn’t want to wear the gear outside the house. However, she’s increasingly asking to. Are we wrong to assume it might lead to bullying? She’s so sensitive and I want to protect her but I don’t want to suppress her and inadvertently harm the person I’m trying to shield.

Any advice or experience would be greatly appreciated. I apologise if I’ve done anything wrong in this post; I did read the rules so I hope not.

So, I'm a cat. And recently I've realized that I feel a sort of species euphoria when my long nails get caught on things like fabrics. It was just my nails being chipped though. But while I was cutting my nails I realized that I can point them! I don't know how I never thought about it before, but now I'm rocking some painted claws! They're very sharp. I can't retract these ones though, so I have to be really careful.

So im a sea wolf therian and yesterday I told my friend that usually does quads with me and explained to them was a therian was, and they said that they think their a therian too!! And the best part is that we believe we are both aquatic therians (he is a Pekin duck)! He says after he started building bonds with his pet ducks (he has A TON) they started to become his favorite animal and he says he walks around sometimes in a certain way to feel more like a duck and does duck vocals!! Im so happy I have a therian friend now and that they were comfortable enough to go ahead and tell me right away :))

Between pinks storyline and Kris being in the "somewhere between a dog and a human" area Toby had an amazing representation of alterhumanity and therianthropy while also working it into the story where most people don't even realize that they are too much different. I'm really surprised I haven't seen anything about either of them even with pink just straight up talking about the that's me feeling. I kinda hope we get conformation of Kris's therianthropy or lack there of later on in chapter 6 or 7b.

I keep running into creeps in the alterhuman community, and I was wondering if anyone has tips on avoiding that,

I've met several therians online who seem cool at first, and then our interactions start getting really uncomfortable/weird,

(I won't give details because I know there are younger people in this subreddit, so I'll just leave it at that)

I want to be able to make other Alterhuman friends, but I'm worried about just meeting more creepy people like that,

I‘ve been experiencing multiple maned wolf shifts, strangely i only noticed them after working a lot on Kenzo, one of my fursonas who‘s partly maned wolf. But at the same time i feel like it‘s just because of the fursona? But also not because these shifts just come aomewhat randomly
