Yeah yeah yeah ribbon seal mood boardddd. I haven't seen a lot of seal things, let alone ribbon seals, so here you go. Ribbon seals primarily live in the Bering sea (between Russia and Alaska). Males tend to be dark with white stripes, where as females tend to be silver or light brown with white stripes.

I want to do more silly species and less recognised ones for all my therian friends who have a hard time finding content for themselves. What animals would you like to see me make a moodboard of?

Fun fact about me. When I was first figuring out my theriotypes, I thought my urge to sunbathe was related to a potential feline theriotype. It's a seal thing for me, though. HOWEVER, that doesn't mean I don't lay on the floor in my livingroom with my cat and soak up the sun. Turtle loves his floor time.

Bonus fun fact: Turtle, my cat, was actually born without a tail. He's just a little guy.

Some pride art of my theriotypes but anthro (sorta). Not necessarily supposed to be furry versions of myself, more so just how it feels sometimes when I have phantom shifts

Please do not RB with "me", "ID" or similar. It makes me uncomfortable as these are self portraits!

As per the poll (that's not technically finished yet but oh well) leopard seals won! I personally am very discomforted by leopard seals, their mouths are just so strange.

Fun facts:

Leopard seals are the only seals that eat warm blooded prey, including other seals (justifying my leopard seal fear). They are also relatively aggressive compared to other seal species.

They can reach up to 3.5 meters/11.5 feet long, making them the same size as an average walrus.

Not previously mentioned in my other moodboard posts but none of the images are mine, they're all from Pinterest. Feel free to use any of my moodboards, as long as you don't claim you made them.

So over the summer I bought swimming flippers before I figured out I have a seal theriotype and lemme tell you throwing my ass into the middle of my local lake and swimming around like a seal was the most species affirming thing I will ever experience.

Intro Post I Guess?

Since I want to actually interact with people and the therian community on tumblr I think I should probably have an intro post of some kind. So here it is.

You can call me Tern, and I use any pronouns! Seriously. Anything is game. He/him, she/her, they/them, I honestly have no preference. I'm currently in college studying criminal justice.

I'm polytherian and my theriotypes (in no particular order) are a white tern, harbor seal, and dhole!

I'm just kinda vibing on tumblr because it never occured to me that "hey, there's therians on tumblr". Because I'm not always using my brain.

I'm open for asks and whatnot, so go nuts and interrogate the bird. I have no idea what I'm doing.

Cold weather provides the opportunity to layer up and become like thick seal skin

Peak seal is climbing the old antenna next to your house and sunbathing on the roof for 2 hours. I feel great now since I've become a translucent being over winter. SUN :D

🌊Games For Seal/Pinniped Therians!🌊

This will be a series of many posts where I'll be listing off games that I feel are good for therians! Whether you're RPing or playing as your theriotype, or doing something that your theriotype might do! (I.e. fishing/hunting, swimming, etc.). And feel free to suggest games for me to add to this or future lists!

Here's how this will work. I will start by listing the name and devs, the price (in USD, for now!), a description of the game and my opinions followed by pictures/gifs!

And one last thing before we get to the list of games, I will tag all of these game posts with #iridescentmoongames that way they will always be easily accessible! I may also add a masterlist to my pinned post in the future.

°。°。°。°。°。°。❆ °。°。°。°。°。°。

Small disclaimer, I have not played all of these games but I've done my best to at least go through any that are free to play!

1: Seal Game by TheFriendlySealStudio. (Available on Itch.io, free)

This game is a prototype so it's a big WIP, but it has a lot of potential. I only played for a few minutes and while there's not a lot to do, I still enjoyed it.

Features (to be) included in this game will be the ability to swim and dive underwater to hunt for fish, a large world to explore, socialization with other seals, and you'll be able to raise your own pups.

I'm not sure if it was a glitch or not but I was unable to find any fish to catch. Swimming, at this time in development, is alright! It didn't feel very immersive but it was at least fun to explore around in the water. Using WASD you can move forward, back, left or right and your mouse controls the camera. There's also plenty of visual bugs but hopefully those will be sorted out in the future!

2: Seal World (Available on Steam, $1.99)

This game is more on the silly side! You play as a seal living a forest(?) full of other seals. You collect fish-- ahem, I mean fibsh! As well as hats!

And there's lots of other silly seals you can meet and talk to. I haven't played this game yet but I think this one is my favorite, love the face, love their energy. Overall, it's just a nice chill game to play. Also I love the colors used for the world. The grass, the water, it's all very aesthetically pleasing and in a way kind of gives me Super Mario Sunshine vibes.

3: Planet Zoo (Available on Steam, $44.99. DLC packs are $9.99 each)

This entry is definitely more on the price-y side. With the base game you won't have any pinnipeds. If you want their Atlantic grey seal you'll need the Aquatic pack. And if you want the California Sea Lion you'll need the North America Animal Pack. IAt this time those are the only pinnipeds, however there are plenty of mods which use those models as a base for other species. I recommend using the Nexus to search for mods.

Unfortunately I don't have any nice looking seal exhibits atm so these will have to suffice! Also note that I have my graphics lowered so the models/textures are not as detailed.

While you can't play as any of the animals, you can still build an enclosure for for the animals to live in however you like! I like to imagine I'm building a little home for myself as if I were playing The Sims. If you've ever played Zoo Tycoon 2 but with a lot more room for creativity! You can play campaign or sandbox, build zoos from scratch or maintain pre-built ones.

4. Abzu (Available on Steam, Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox 1. $19.99)

A relaxing exploration game where you swim through the ocean and discover the animals living in it. You don't play as a seal and there are no pinnipeds in this game as far as I know, but if you're looking to find a game that focuses on swimming then this is the game for you!

The graphics and art style for this game is incredible! If you like Journey or Sky: Children of The Light I think you'll enjoy this! I have not played this game to completion however so I don't know if there's any scares at all. So for those with thalassophobia just be careful!

5. Rain World (Available on Steam, Nintendo Switch, Playstation 4. $19.99)

Content Warning for bugs and violence. I will not post any images containing either, but if you do intend on researching the game or purchasing, please keep that in mind!

In this game you don't play as a seal either, however I find some aspects of the game remind me of my seal self. In this game you play as a nomadic slugcat. A small white creature with black eyes. Every so often heavy rains will come, flooding the land, which means you must frequently hibernate in shelters. But in order to do that you must hunt and keep yourself fed while also doing your best to survive in a hostile environment with deadly flora and fauna.

Rain World is a very difficult survival game and can be quite stressful or frustrating. But if you're willing to put in the time and effort, it is well worth it and it has a lot of interesting lore. There is also some DLC coming out for this game soon, adding 5 additional characters. One of which being the rivulet which can breathe underwater and are very fast and agile.

6. Minecraft (Check link for available platforms. $29.99)

Minecraft is a game that most likely does not need an introduction. But in case you haven't heard, it's a sandbox game where nearly everything is a cube! You can play survival or creative. On it's own, I wouldn't say it's an ideal game for seal therians, however with the use of mods (Java edition only) you can put together an experience more suited to that theme!

The first way to make Minecraft a better seal experience™ is to change your skin! You can make you own, commission an artist, or if you're playing Bedrock edition you can get one from the in game store (most packs cost money but some are free!). I don't have any pictures of my old seal skin but here's one I made recently. An important note, if you are playing on the PC version for Bedrock, you can upload higher resolution skins. It's possible to use higher res skins on Java as well but not without mods as far as I know. If you want to use them on Java, I use this mod.

Some other mods you can use are the Origins mod (fabric/forge), Biome's O' Plenty, Aquaculture 2, and Alex's Mobs

7. Tap Tap Fish AbyssRium (Available on Mobile, free)

Tap Tap Fish is a mobile idle game. You can collect fish and other sea creatures. I don't know if is still the case, I haven't played this game in a couple years, but harp seal pup was only attainable through IAPs. I don't know if this is the case now or for other seals. If anyone knows please let me know!

That's all the games I have for now, but as I find more on my own or through suggestions I will edit this post!

I'm making a list of games for therians starting with seals/pinnipeds. These games should either allow you to play as one *or* have activities that a seal would do (i.e. fishing, swimming).

After seals I'll be doing one for horse therians. If you have any suggestions for either animal please let me know!
