I felt like this was a reminder worth saying due to some stuff I see lolz
Not all transspecies people are physical nonhumans, not all physical nonhumans are holotheres, and not all holotheres are transspecies
You don't have to be one thing to be the other(s) and being one doesn't automatically make you the other(s)
You choose what labels fit you
Transspecies ≠ physical nonhuman ≠ holothere ≠ Transspecies
You don't have to transition to be transspecies
You don't have to have dysphoria to be transspecies
You can already be your -type and use transspecies
Being transspecies doesn't just mean becoming an animal
I feel like the therian community is kinda losing what therianthropy means. Esp the newer people. I’ve seen therians that wear gear be rude to therians that don’t. It was because they saw them as invalid.
Please don’t lose sight of what therianthropy actually is. And just because someone isn’t wearing gear doesn’t mean that they “aren’t a real therian” they just express themselves differently.
whats ur fav mythical creature and why? also do u have any gear? (doesnt have to be tails or masks or nth, like bracelets or anything)
OMG MY FIRST ASK!! hello!!
Fav mythical creature: honestly probably a couple, dragons bc of nostalgic reasons and have a close connection with them due to family, and anything cryptid
Gear: mhm! the "normal" gear I own is one tail and two collars (which I don't wear super often due to sensory issues but other than that I love them) I also have a few clothing items I like bc they have the colors of my fur plus are warm and cozy :3
thank you so much for sending an ask!
you are all loved!! ~mama koda
you are all appreciated!! ~mama koda
Fun facts for dollkins/therians! :DDDDD
Dolls date back thousands of years. Some of the oldest known dolls were found in ancient Egyptian tombs, crafted from materials like clay, wood, and stone :0 Dolls are often used in rituals, ceremonies, and as symbols of protection or fertility! Over time, dolls have been made from a wide range of materials, including porcelain, wax, cloth, plastic, and even papier-mâché! Doll collecting is a popular hobby worldwide. Collectors often seek rare or vintage dolls, and there are specialized markets and conventions for doll enthusiasts! Many artists use dolls as a medium for artistic expression :] Throughout history, dolls have been associated with superstitions and beliefs. For example, in some cultures, dolls were believed to possess spirits or bring good luck, while in others, they were seen as omens of misfortune if mistreated :[
Ok so this is going to come off as rude...but as the one who came up with the concept of theriform I have to specify;
It is not an identity label.
It is a term to allow us to talk about members of our species whose bodily structure and levels of sapience are typical for that of our species, without using invalidating terms like 'biological (animal)' or 'real (animal)'.
If those who were born into differently shaped bodies with human-level sapience start to use it too the term becomes meaningless and inaccurate.
Please do not use it as an identity label.
I'm literally begging you, please be weird and queer, online and offline if you can, I want you to live life being as fascinating as possible
you'll only be alive for so long, please spend some time being odd
I'm literally not a human, my body may not look exactly like my species but I still am my species, in every single way possible. My body is my species, my mind is my species, everything about me is who I say I am. No matter how it may look or seem. No matter how others may see me, I am me.
i just literally don't get how someone being a furry endangers anyone. like how. explain. what the person shopping for milk in the grocery store next to you wearing dog ears and a tail is actually murdering you via psychic damage? shut the fuck up just let people exist in ways that bring us joy my god some people are so joyless
Fandom is so different now and it’s becoming un-fun with how quickly shit moves.
I just want to enjoy things. I don’t want to have to play a game of Artist-Race that seems to be afoot lately.
Ya’ll eat up fandoms, leave artists and writers bone dry and then move on so fucking quickly then fucking wonder where all the Good Fandom Stuff is.
Idk Maybe cherish some things for longer. Reblog stuff. Interact with people. Comment and share.
Fandom is Capitalism now and I’m not being nuanced.
To folks with gender dysphoria that is so specific, no combination of HRT and surgery could give you the correct body (at least with where medical science is now).
To folks with species dysphoria, who were straight up born as the wrong thing.
To folks who can't figure out why they're dysphoric. Something doesn't fit right, but why? What would be better?
To folks who struggle with depersonalization, who know that no matter what their body looks like, or how much they like how it looks, it'll never be exactly right.
I hear you.
