Have Therians Discovered These Digging Gloves Yet

I love my therapist so much man... My therianthropy doesn't come up often, but when it does she's always so accepting and curious about it-

Today I casually mentioned being a fox, which she had forgotten about, so she just went "wait I thought you were a dog?? 😳"

Like... She called me a dog!!! Dog dog dog dog ehehe

She also asked me to talk about all my identities in depth and we went over my canine ambitypes! She was so accepting, and now we're trying to figure out how I can use my animal side to my advance in my day to day life!

I love logging on everyday and seeing y'all share your stories I'm litteraly crying behind the screen (/pos, and because imma huge crybaby) i was so nervous when i first joined the community, I had just learned what a therian/otherkin/nonhuman was a few months prior, and been going over the label for a long while. I always went back and fourth between furry and petregressor and it never felt right.

When I first made my account i still had second thoughts, what if im a fake and not a 'real' therian, after all I'm seeing accounts with age 20+, hell, even some 30+ year olds, which most of them have known for YEARS that they were therians and have these account to post their awesome experiences with younger therians, and then seeing those young ones too, already knowing who they are. And then there's me at the awkward age of 18 a grown adult but not quite. it embarrassed me that i didn't already know what a therian was, and that i was one, so i doubted myself at first, but with each post i read, and each experience that i found myself relating too, I felt myself becoming more comfortable with this life and just... Feel more like me actually. Even with December depression weighing me down, curling up by a heater and gnawing onna dog toy got me through it, helped me cope when I've never been able to cope before.

Thank you guys for existing. This account has been my safe haven for all things therian, when i know no one im my stupid conservative town irl would accept me.

being depressed really is crazy cause like, i had 0 hobbies or interests my entire life and now im 23 with no skills no abilities to do anythng and i have total maybe 140 hours of time spent alive

this year will be wonderful. you will meet new people who will feel like sunlight. someone out there will be lucky enough to meet you. you will see breathtaking views. you will learn so much knowledge from your studies and gain so much wisdom. there will be bad days but you will heal and start again in the morning. you will discover what makes you happy. you will fill up journals with scribbles and messy drawings. you will feel low and make mistakes but they will help you become a stronger person. you will pick up new things that give your life meaning and you will pour your heart into it. you will find songs that speak to you more than anything else in the world. you will grow. this year is waiting for you and it’s beautiful.

I tried that thing where you're casually open about your identity, without ever actually trying to explain otherkinity, and it fucking worked??

Went out for lunch with a guy I've only met twice, and he asked about my bison pendant. I just said that if I were an animal I'd be a bison, I relate to their resilience and stubbornness, it's kinda like a spiritual thing.

Later in the day, he commented about my not wearing a jacket in December and I jokingly asked if he'd ever seen a bison get cold (and then said something about my ADHD meds making me overheat).

And wouldn't you know it, a while later he himself made a joke about me being a bison, completely unprompted.

Incredible. I don't know what I was afraid of, I should've tried this way sooner!!

let's walk with mama

Krueger is ugly? How ugly is he? Is it because of his big Slavic nose?

There is so much here that I can’t even begin to unpack.

Okay, he’s not necessary ugly. (Even though I love to claim that) Not “oh my God, you can’t look at him.” But rather… he is mid? Just a little ugly.

He has nice features in my hc. Arched lips, brown, slightly narrowed eyes which are super dark and handsome cheekbones. His nose is a tad crooked and depending on his sleep schedule, he can look pretty gaunt. BUT all those nice features just don’t really harmonize. His receding hairline, the eye-bags and the wispy, very blond eyebrows are not helping his cause. In addition to this, he has a perpetual, patchy stubble :)

To sum it up: pretty features which do not work well together making him mid on good days and gaunt on the worse ones.

And… the nose. ??? What even is a slavic nose?! I don’t think that it would make him ugly. Prominent noses tend to make a face pretty interesting in my mind.

Here are pictures of my Krueger’s nose tho. I love the nose I gave him.

today was rough
