i really like the term harebrained-- ik it's an insult, but as a hare therian, the fact that it's a preexisting word makes me happy :>
ALTERHUMAN SLANG. dont tell me you haven’t at least thought about it. Most if these are carnivorous mammal specific, but i will try to throw in some other kinds as well!!
Got on my back paws - got on my hands and knees. Like how animals can stand up as a trick.
ex: yeah, i really wanted that necklace, i had to get on my back legs so she would get it for me.
Showing fang - standing up for yourself/being assertive. ex: he’s really tough, but he’ll show fang at just about anything.
White eye - going crazy/really scared. Like how animals show the whites of their eyes when very agitated.
ex: haha, i saw how scared you were during that movie, you went all white eye at the end!
Riptide Rider - (aquatic) someone who lives dangerously.
ex: stay away from her, she’s a riptide rider, you’re bound to get hurt.
Treetop chaser - (herbivorous) someone who chases unattainable things.
ex: they’re way out of your league, don’t be a treetop chaser.
Cloudy day - (reptilian) usually used as a question, if someone is acting tired or unusual. Like how reptiles need the sun to stay warm, if it’s cloudy, they can’t warm up.
ex: woah, cloudy day? You look like you haven’t slept in months.
Flock brain - (avian) someone who can’t think for themselves. ex: ugh, she’s only hanging out with them now, she’s being a total flock brain.
A hummer with an eagle - (avian) someone who is clearly out of their depth.
ex: are you sure you can handle advanced classes? No offense, but you’ll be a hummer with the eagles.
okay i’ve had too much fun with this, please please PLEASE add on in the comments!!
what if i started a nonhuman newsletter / mailing list. monthly email containing a bunch of art / writing / potentially zines about nonhuman culture ?
you just send in a submission form with whatever you want to submit, I put it together in an email, and send it out at the end / beginning of the month ?
i have irl experience running events and i've been an editor on a literary journal for 7 years now. so this is very much within my realm of expertise. all i think i'd struggle with is finding people willing to sign up / submit works, email isn't a super popular form of communication these days.
i've been wanting to put my voice out there more and talk about my experiences and i've struggled to find a way to do that. i've also noticed that people are nostalgic for the feelings of old forums and community. and i feel like a newsletter would be an easy way for me to do both.
but at the same time, why would people submit to this when they can just post on their own blog or account? i'm a bit worried about how this would stand out in current internet culture, when everyone is able to have a platform of their own.
it's something i'd love to explore, though.
if anyone has thoughts or ideas or would like to be involved, PLEASE reach out to me. comment, rb, ask, dm, i don't care. I just wanna talk about this and see if it's got any legs to it.
i saw something quite beautiful just a few days ago...

i've been working on a choose-your-own-adventure story inconsistently for about three years now, and i decided to make this character for it. he is the god of time and he fits into 36 different tumblr sexyman tropes. i wanted to make him a very basic tumblr sexyman and i think i succeeded.
do you like him
forget everyone you know and have known. i am your best friend now. there is nothing you can do. your fate is sealed.pfp by @tinyguyiguess :>
