NEW ANIMAL IDENTITY TERM. ANIFAUX. COINED BY US (k9s)
ANIFAUX - Someone who has some sort of deep rooted connection to an animal(s). These individuals feel out of place in their body, and that they would fit better as a species other than human. Their behavior, love style, and personality might reflect this behavior naturally. Anifauxies may have had a deep rooted connection to their anifauxtype since childhood, or could've discovered recently. They differ from therians and otherkin in the way that they know they are human and don't have any religious beliefs around their identity, but that feels fundamentally wrong. Their mental state more often than not reflects their anifauxtype, and though they may shift to a heavier anifaux regression, the constant animalistic view on the world never truly goes away.
if you relate, find out your anifauxtype below
How does this differ from Therians?
Tumblr media
We made this because Therianthropy/Nonhuman/Otherkin just didn't feel right. Some Therians aren't religious, and I can see how other nonhuman identities are similar! We just made this term because those didn't feel right. It feels as if god accidentally put an animals brain in our body (though we don't believe that, it's just a heavy identity feeling.) It's definitely something to do with our mental disorders that make it hard to socialize with people. But Dogs? Cats? Befriended instantly. We love like a dog, our physical behavior reflects canines, yet we know we're human. But "human" is just wrong.

anifaux sounds like any animal-attatched autistic person XD Not in a bad way ofc!
Tumblr media
Firstly, since it is not a term we created we cannot accept criticism of it,, and Secondly theres more to it than just neurodivergence,, we are, in our heart, connected to these animals due to the need for connection while growing up, and they're always there and always will be
(All of this is /lh and /info!!)

hey! i just wanna say i find anifaux super cool! the emphasis on how youre raised really hit hard with me cause im a psych therian / alterhuman in a way thats completely seperate from how my childhood influenced my connection to dogs and behavior (kind of. im cat alterhuman because of my system but collectively we were treated very similar to a dog growing up and those animal connections feel Different i guess)
SAME !!! I’m so happy to help, welcome to the anifaux club :)
