tips for making it more horse shaped?

I haven't added the ears and mane yet, but I don't think it really looks like a horse; the muzzle looks more like a beak or a dragon's snout. Also, I think the nostrils are a bit uneven and way too close together.

some tips?

The spiritual is beautiful!~

When I think of the otherkin/therian identity spirituality and the metaphysical come to mind first, and this really is of no coincidence. For a long while the community has playfully been deemed as the spirituality of the furries, now obviously there has been non-spiritual otherkin/therians long before this; however the majority were in fact spiritual.

Saying this I feel there has been a huge loss for me at least as of recent in terms of the community as I notice much less of the spiritual identity being discussed, it's been replaced with what reads more socially as gender expression than deep spiritual experience and this makes me very sad.

Just like Austin Texas has largely been gentrified, and their slogan was or is "keep Austin weird" I feel we need a 'keep otherkin and therian weird' or perhaps that would just doom it further to share that same destination of gentrification so to say.

Mildly updated -types list + another ama >O<

I found a LOT of new types soooo . . Ask me some questions again perhaps :3

I realized through most/all of my types I've had purple associated with me in them . .

Theriotypes — Bat, demon/cryptid, holland lop, british columbia wolf, crow, great white shark, rosy maple moth, and sea bunny

Concepttypes — Nighttime, the color purple, voids, and Halloween

Othertypes? — Mermaid (Used a picrew)

Starseed / Alienkin (Used / Slightly edited a picrew)

Fictiotypes — Gourdy Holloway, Astro Novalite, and Rocky

Other terms I use :3

Antihuman — Averse to identifying as a human in any way

Abanthrope — Does not align with humans / humanity

Altervexo — Identifying as an alterbeing out of spite

Erstian — Initially chose an alterbeing identity, but it is now involuntary

Unhuman — Identifying as human in the past, but no longer does

I think that covers everything . . . . ^0^

If it became possible tomorrow, what's the minimum acceptable bio-TF that's "worth it" for you?

Heya! My name is Rika, also known as Tilt Wolf. I'm a biochemist and cell biologist, having served in various research and executive/board leadership roles at the Freedom of Form Foundation (2020-2026), most recently as VP & CSO. I'm also a coywolf therian since about 2005.

Last spring, I left the FFF alongside the CTO (Lathreas), and we're now excited to be putting together a new biotech startup aligned with the goal of "anthros in real life". Our company's working title is Transformation Biosciences, Inc., or TF Bio for short, and our site will launch fairly soon. TF Bio is focused on wet-lab tissue engineering research, likely starting with a combination of hair follicles, skin, and ear cartilage. We have enough funding already to get off the ground, but as we bring in more folks to fund the research, we need to understand what the therian community sees as a "minimum viable transformation" – the minimum set of body changes that you would accept for your own personal goals.

We already know that the vast majority of therians, according to FurScience @ University of Waterloo, would choose to become "less than 100% human" if given the option (>79%). But what we don't know is the minimum change that you're willing to accept, for surgery to be worth it to you *right now*. To be clear, we will not stop until we reach the full anthro TF goal, but we'd like to know the earliest point at which our work begins to help people.

So the question is this: if the medical technology appeared tomorrow to make it possible, which of the following is the **minimum** that you'd accept and undergo a voluntary procedure for? (Assume that you can still do more changes later.)

This information helps steer which areas of research we focus on, and when.

Just for clarity, note that we're focusing on furry species for now, starting with wolves, because they are common and somewhat more anatomically feasible. Eventually, we will expand to other furry species. In the longer term, we may also branch out to scalies and avians, but the technical challenges there are quite a bit more intense\~

We also welcome other STEM-trained therians and furries who want to collaborate with our little team of biological scientists working on this R&D, so please don't hesitate to DM\~ :3

What‘s something ‚weired‘ / unusual thing you do as an alterhuman?

So, All i see on tik tok is just people wearing masks and doing quadrobics. I rarely see people expressing their identities in different ways, also because it’s often looked down upon. Masks and such don‘t really feel animalistic enough anymore for me and i need different ways to express myself. I saw multiple videos of alterhumans explaining how they express themselves in different, even ‚weired‘ ways which I find very interesting.
How do you express yourself? :>

(Also, I hope this post makes sense and doesn’t go against any guidelines)

Vocals as a horse therian

Thought I'd do a video of guess which ones the original sound but it's too obvious because my vocals aren't that good so I just put my vocals over videos as a horse therian!! Thought it'd be fun!!

Do you have names for your Theriotypes?

I've been wondering if or what people's names are for their theriotypes! Do many people have names for them or no? I'm open to know what your theriotypes names are if you have one!

If you are wondering what my theriotypes name is its Solstice! My theriotype is Arctic Fox!

Transhumanist propaganda Isn't pro therian/otherkin

The false doctrine of the so called transhumanists helping otherkin/therian, couldn't be further from the actual truth. No amount of merging with technology or mutating nature is going to make any of you more non-human, our identity is for ourselves to define we don't need some techno-fascist preaching to us about how to become more otherkin or therian.

Couple this with the cruelty of testing on animals, and slavery to mega corporations that own the genetic mutation. And the prospects aren't bright for transhumanism.

If anything a return to nature is what's needed, and removing our limited thoughts about ourselves. If you're an otherkin/therian YOU ARE NON-HUMAN, there's no to 'become non-human' when it's what you are.

Where to buy ethical tails?

Do y'all know of anywhere where I can get an ethical swift fox tails and raccoon tails that aren't too expensive? Preferably similar to my other ones in the picture. I don't really have anyone around where I live that I can ask or anything, so it'd have to be online shops

I found my family!!

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!

Do I want others to see me as an animal? Pls write about me

So this might be a weird request but could you pretend to talk about me/write something about me that actively recognises my alterhumanity or fully talk about me as an animal?

I just want to see how I feel if others talk about me as an animal.

Little about me:

I am a grey wolf and snow leopard alterhuman. I've been trying to figure out my nonhuman identity for around 2 years. I get sad at the thought of my sense of smell not being that good, however I find it nice that just by listening I can recognise other creatures/humans.

I'm somewhere under the trans umbrella, I use any/all pronouns (including it/its and neopronounses)

This september I'll start my last year of seconary school. I'm studying to be an accountant but might change my career path to forester or something.

I prefer winter over summer. I like the night more than the day (especially in the summer). Because of how peaceful and quiet those times are. I really love the snow. Last time it snowed I jumped face first into it.

I can crochet, swim and I'm learning to play on calimba. I do martial art and quadrobics.

I kinda want others to know that I'm strong and skilled enough to know how to harm them. Mainly/probably bc if you see a wolf or a snow leopard you wouldn't mess with it bc you have an idea of how strong it is.
