I dunno if I'm the first person to think of it, but anyways, my autism had an idea
If you're a dog therian and own a mask, maybe try to put some kind of 3d glasses like thingies (like blue and red lenses but make it blue and yellow) inside of the eye hole to make it seem like you have dog vision
No idea if it's dumb or if it'll actually help but if someone tries please let me know :3
Sorry for the chaotic writing, I am made of fur and chaos

Food alternatives to raw meat
As raw meat itself is not safe to eat, but carnivore otherkin may have the want to eat it, here's made a list of alternatives that should be safe to eat!
• Beef/fish jerky
• Safe to eat raw salmon (the sort used in making sushi)
• A rare steak
• Dried fruits, such as dried mango (may not taste right, but have a similar sensation!)
If anyone has any suggestions on what should be added to this list feel free to suggest your ideas!

I don't know if I love or hate days where I feel more strongly connected to my types
Because, yeah I do love feeling like a funky little creature. I like snuffling around and daydreaming about being a divine being. Downside? I've got human business to attend to and for some godforsaken reason I can't escape it
Most days are easier than this, I can just function with minimal effort and keep my nonhuman vibes low. Today though, I want to make a form (nest) out of my bed, I want to stay in my soft clothes and feel my fur, I want to open all the windows in my room and let the light pour in because it makes me feel so at home, I want to people watch and stare longingly like im not one of them. But no, I have to put jeans on, write reports, and finish projects.
Edit: IT WOULD HAVE BEEN SO PERFECT TODAY ITS FOGGY OUTSIDE BUT JUST ON THE HILLS AND ALL THE TREES ARE COVERED IN RIME ITS FUCKING SPLENDID

Tips for caninekin
These are just things that have worked for me as a wolfdog, so feel free to suggest things or give feedback!
1. Make a nest indoors. Use pillows, plushes, lots of blankets, and maybe some clothes. Make it comfortable, maybe make it like a “fort” so you can crawl inside, or one you can lie on if you’d prefer. If you don’t want others you live with to know of your alterhuman status, I suggest making a nest late at night, and sleeping in it until morning, then undoing it.
2. Make a den outdoors. The den can involve a nest as well! A forest, a park, a field, a riverbank, maybe even a bench. Wherever feels freeing, and feels like home. If your den is in a forest or field- somewhere private and more wild -make small alterations to suit your tastes. Claw in your initials, make a snow- or moss nest, dig a comfortable pit to lie in, or anything else. If it’s in public and, well, public, spend time there doing more discrete activities if you prefer. Maybe journal about your theriotype, draw yourself, or bring things that remind you of yourself to relax.
3. Dog stuff. You knew it was coming. Collars and chew toys, right? Well, sorta. There are also paw warmers, small accessories, trinkets to put on your backpack instead of collar, a shorter leash to make your keys more noticeable in your bag, and you could sew dog booties into clothes for extra storage. Don’t let yourself be limited to collars and toys; there are a lot more options out there- even if collars and toys are great too.
4. Listen to your theriotypes calls, and replicate them. Be it yipping, howling, snarling, barking, or laughing, replicating the sounds while listening to them can be soothing and make you feel included. If you cannot join in, listening to the noises can be soothing in and of itself, as well.
5. Wear affirming clothes. It can be clothes that somehow involve your species (like a graphic t-shirt), clothes that are the same color as your fur or body, or that just feel like the correct clothing. I tend to like looser clothes that are very neutral, but other may prefer clothes that make them look like themselves more. Patches are also wonderful for clothes and accessories. Choose a pair of old jeans and just go to town with patches, sewing, and painting; it feels great. You can also decorate your bag for school with pins, drawings, and similar items.
6. If you can or want to, do quads! Not only can you walk around like your theriotype, it’s also a shockingly good workout. Just make sure your form is good and you don’t go too fast, as to prevent injury!
7. Yarn tail time! Make an accurate one to your body size if possible, or make a smaller tail to hook onto your backpack.
8. Forage stuff to eat, or to decorate. From edible flowers like dandelions, to wood sorrel, to maybe even mushrooms if you have the knowledge, there are a lot of things you can just eat outside. Eating wild grown foraged items, either on their own or in a salad or similar, feels freeing in a way hard to describe in my experience. You can also gather twigs, pine cones, nuts, and similar items to make things out of, or make your room/den more comfortable!
9. Draw paw prints of your specific theriotype. Try to make it as accurate as possible. Draw it on paper, on your pants, on your palms, or on your shoes- anywhere you like. They are your paws, and it can feel safer when you can visibly see your correct paws type, in my experience.
10. Shake after getting wet. This is also something that’s a-ok to do in public, which I really enjoy. Coming in after it has rained, getting out of the shower, or drying off after swimming in a lake- it feels great!
11. Make treats. No, not necessary dog treats. It can be chunks of shaggily cut bell pepper, pieces of meat to gnaw on, and other treats that don’t feel “human”. It can be the classic “seeds and peanut butter shaped as a dog bone”, or a whole cucumber that your tear apart. Use it as a reward for doing good, or just eat it when you want to.
12. If you like gnawing, get a chew stim toy. It’s less harmful than most other things you could be gnawing on, and works quite well for molars!
13. Claim some territory. It can be your house, or a place in the forest, or your room. Allow only those you want to to come in. Chase out creatures you do not want in. Create a marker along the edges of the territory, for example a specific cloth color tied on trees, if needed.

Animals I thought were my theriotype that were not my theriotype
(Some of these are technically otherkin but whatever you get the idea)
Horse
Owl
Norwegian forest cat
Dragon
Pheonix
Selkie
Gryphon
Australian Cattle Dog
Border Collie
Puffin
Pegasus
Mouse
Rat
Raccoon
Ferret
Wild Pig
Bay Cat
Jaguarundi
Welsh polecat
Weasel
Stoat
Harp Seal
Opossum
Dhole
Wolf
Dog (several different breeds)
Golden Jackal
Anyways I wanted to post this because it's a good long list of all my years of questioning - and none of these were my theriotype. A handful were even in the same classification, but they still weren't.
Don't feel discouraged if you've been cycling through animals over and over and can't seem to find your theriotype. Sometimes it takes a while, and a LOT of animals before you find it

Intro ✮
Finally making my first food post :D!!
Food is a great way to connect with your kintype, and so this series of posts is supposed to be for those who wanna connect in this way, however don't know how, or would like a post to help while also providing information you may not know about your type. "What if my theriotype eats raw meat, or poisonous things?", well, these posts will have safe alternatives, so consider sticking around for your type or submitting a request for your type!

What do Red Foxes eat?
Quoted by Ct.gov: "Suburban and urban areas are commonly inhabited. The red fox is an omnivore, meaning that it eats both plant and animal foods. Food items include small rodents, squirrels, woodchucks, rabbits, birds and eggs, amphibians, and reptiles. Foxes also will eat vegetation, fruits, nuts, insects, carrion, and garbage." however, some of these things aren't very accessable, or are unhealthy to eat, so what are good suggestions?
Whats reccommended?
✮ Eggs, scrambled, deviled, really anything! ✮ Peanuts ✮ berries/vegetables [I reccommend blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, banana slices, tomatos, carrots, and oranges!] ✮ Bacon ✮ lunchmeat (I reccommend Turkey, Pastrami, roast beef, ham, chicken and salami) ✮ cooked meats (ribs, chicken wings/legs/etc, steaks, etc.
Thank you for reading, I hope you found this somewhat helpful! :D

Wolf Therian Tips!
Tumblr media
You have a divine taste in prey ! And I must say , your packmates must be proud of your agility ! Come over here and listen to my tips and activities for wolf therians!
Tumblr media
Eating and Food
Wolves are practically known for their carnivore based appetite , so well known that some people fear they might attack humans. I dont really recommend eating people since it’s kind of illegal and immoral but here’s some other options!
Eat a lot of meat , obviously balance your diet but go to the market and buy chicken . Chicken is a good choice because it usually has the bones still so you can get lots of gnawing and ripping out from it . Also be sure to wash and clean the bones if you’d like to keep them . No one likes a den that smells like rotting chicken .
Tumblr media
Activities and Behavior
Find a pack. There are thousands of online packs or mixed packs out there, but if you’d prefer a in-person pack then go searching for packs in your area. Also GO CAMPING. I recommend this to any canine therian because camping is just so good for canines. You can hear the wolves at night and play in the river , lots of amazing opportunities for quads . You can also howl at night, if you live in an area with lots of coyotes , most people won’t tell the difference and will leave you alone. Going on hikes is a great way to analyze habitats .
Tumblr media
Gear and Species Dysphoria
Bite species dysphoria in the tail . We know it sucks. Although you don’t need gear or quads to be a therian it may be helpful to have some form of tail .(please make sure your tail is not from a fur farm , buying fake ones are better than abuse) .If you cannot purchase a tail due to being a minor or other reasons , then you can make some very easily! On my coyote tips post, I linked a video for how to make a yarn tail. Check that out if you’d like . You can also make a tail through blankets and a belt . Simply attach the belt to your waist and feed a blanket through the buckle and knot it, move the tail to your back and enjoy your temporary tail! This is good if you are in a shift and need to aid your phantom limbs.

NONHUMAN TIPS REGARDING BULLYINg
Bullying has become an issue in our community. While this isn't a fix all to the problem, more like a Band-Aid for a broken bone, it can help benefit many members of our community.
If you have a tumblr blog that accepts asks, I'd recommend making it so anonymous users cannot send you asks, especially in the case if you're being consistently harassed.
Block accounts that harass you.
I know this isn't much, but it's the least we can do at the moment regarding bullies online.

Friendly PSA to all of the therians out there!
As we know, turkey hunting season is approaching and people regularly hunt squirrels. If your territory/where you like to hang out is in the woods or in the vicinity,
PLEASE WEAR ORANGE!
If you're wearing gear of any sort, hunters may mistake you as something else. It's better to be safe than sorry! And even if you aren't wearing gear... WEAR ORANGE!
Please share this around.

Things Closeted Otherkin Can Do
Listen to songs that either relate to their kin, or help them feel like their kin!
Wear clothes that subtly hint at your kin, or help you feel more like them! This can range from the colours matching to your kin's, all the way to it being themed around your kin
Go for strolls where you may find your kin! If you can't go to these places, maybe look in your area for something slightly similar! (such as not being able to go to the ocean, so you can go to the local swimming pool instead)
Wear makeup that relates to your kin, or helps give you features of it!
Make moodboards or art of your kin, or anything that relates to it
Try to eat anything that is similar to what your kin would eat!

I did a little doodle to represent me, and it ended up turning out how I wanted but it feels nothing like how I look. I was gonna have it as my pfp but I settled on a real hare instead, so enjoy my art here!
Tumblr media
Very amateur digital art but for ibis paint on a phone using my fingers I would say it's pretty nice (also it took me 11 hours, don't hate, appreciate)

can i have advice for mermaidkin :3 thank youuuuuuu
advice for a mermaid kin!
wear long skirts that remind you of your tail
spend lots of time in and around water
sing!! mermaids are known for singing, and you dont have to be good at it
wear accessories with seashells, scales, fishnets, and coins on them. these have always felt reminiscent of mermaids to me
listen to ocean noises, whale calls, and maybe even sea shanties
you can draw scales on your skin in marker, pen, or glitter pen, and marking color between your fingers looks like you have webbed hands! (first hand experience as a dragon)
eat seaweed, seafood, and things that remind you of what you ate in the ocean
hope this helps!
