I’m like 92% sure I’m a mustelid!! I had a few dream shifts and did some meditations and it showed me that I’m a long slender predator with clawed paws that don’t retract and I have a long semi-fluffy tail! I did some research and found mustelids! At first I thought I was a stoat? The only thing that doesn’t line up is the vocalizations so my friends told me to look into minks, that felt way more natural and correct than a stoat but still the vocalizations. Mustelids seem to only screech, scream, chirp, hiss, and spit! No barking, howling or meowing type sounds. I don’t know if that means that I’m not a mustelid because I vocalize differently? I’m not sure I’m kinda flying by the seat of my pants so if anyone has any guidance on helping with theriotype searching please lmk!

I was in art class today and absolutely soaked my hand in mod podge (fancy glue basically) and once it dried I peeled it off my hand then I thought “I think this would be a cool way to connect to your theriotype” so my snake therians out there! If you’re looking for ideas on how to connect to your theriotype maybe in inconspicuous ways, try putting some glue on letting it dry and peeling it off? Like peeling off a shed? Though idk if I can recommend you do that cuz I feel like if you do it enough you might irritate your skin or idk get some random poisoning you get from glue that I don’t know of DONT EAT THE GLUE!! So yeah there’s my idea!

I’ve been mulling over the idea of me being a therian for many years like maybe 3 or 4 but I never went too far into it because my brother shamed me into hiding my feelings. A few months ago I started thinking about it more seriously and opened up to my friends and therapist and they urged me to do research and really look into it, so I did. I think I may be a therian or animal hearted. I tried looking online for examples of non-human experiences because I know you need that to be a therian? But not for being animal hearted (correct me if I’m wrong the info was a bit hazy on that topic) so I was hoping for some guidance. I’ll list some things I think I non-human to me.

Possible Non-human experiences:

\-making biscuits with my hands or feet when I’m stressed

\-feeling a tail wagging behind me when I’m super excited or happy

\-feeling like I have paws or a tail just randomly

\-having a deep fascination with people, like I’m a scientist studying them. Like an outsider looking in. I don’t feel like one of the pack? I don’t feel a familiarity with them like we are the same thing even with my family.

\-(I haven’t experienced this in a fair amount of time) but I’d get these moments where I don’t feel 100% human? Like I feel like I can only communicate through animal noises. Most commonly meows,whining,barks and howls. As well as hightened senses and feeling like an urge to hunt? Idk it’s so fucking wild

\-being heavily sensitive to smell

\- feeling a animalistic desire drawing me to fish?? Like when I was a kid I loooved hunting and fishing, I use to stick my hands in the water and try to grab the fish with my bare hands.

\- meowing or purring at the people I’m most comfortable with

I’m sure there’s more but I don’t have my list with me :p

I’m not sure if any of this counts? I’m also toying with the idea that I nigh just he autistic, I took a test with my psychiatrist I just need to see if I qualified for a referral to get diagnosed. I was talking to my therapist and she told me there’s no reason I can’t be both which I guess makes sense.

Another possibility is that I’m just heavily affected by my animals? I’ve had dogs all my life and have had cats for 5 years. I did do feline like stuff involuntarily before I got cats so maybe it’s not connected. I feel very out of my element with this kinda thing and it feels shameful or embarrassing to talk about because I was so shamed for my behavior by family as a kid because I never suppressed it(I did start suppressing my urges when I hit middle school because teens are brutal)

I’m really torn between therian or animal hearted. I feel like if I were to have a theryotype (I have no clue how to spell that) it would be some kind of domestic or house animal, like I don’t feel wild. I’m at home in the city, I’m at home where I can observe the people I love. But I feel deeply connected to house cats, when I’m around a house cat not even my own I see them and I feel them?? Like I feel like they are me and I am them. I don’t feel connected to people like that. I feel like I’m calling in to question so much of myself and it’s a big self discovery that feels so scary to do alone. So maybe one of you can provide with support or guidance while I figure myself out! (Sorry this post is so long 😭)

I’ve been stretching for a few years now and I just learned that I was lead very far astray. I’ve been using tapers and thought that yk stretching is just supposed to be painful duh that makes sense. So apparently no! I just went to a 14 mm today and I was confused on why it hurt soooooooo bad like actually shaking from pain bad, only now did I think to look it tf up and figured out I’ve been doing very bad thing to myself. It’s the method my aunt used and she’s who got me into it so I didn’t think to look into it any further past her guidance. Anyway my ears really hurt :,3 no wonder I’ve blown out twice. I now know that I need to get high quality jewelry and leave my ears tf alone for a long time. If you guys have any recommendations for relatively inexpensive high quality jewelry I’d love to know so I can get on the right track 😭😭 I feel so dumb omg
