So I recently I have been questioning a Bat Theriotype due to phatom ears and nose I have been expirencing for awhile.
After a couple hours, I found a bat I feel like is me and one of my theriotypes.
Meet the Thomas's Fruit-Eating Bat .
But there's a problem. I can barely find any documentation of their behaviors despite the countless websites I have searched through, and even the few that are documented aren't things I really expirence. Yet every time I look at this bat, I see myself. Especially in the face.
How do I know of I'm truly a Thomas's fruit-eating bat when barely anything is documented on them?
I want to sink my claws into the bark of a tree. I want to leave claw marks behind and climb as high as the sky. I want to feel the bark cover my fur as my ears touch the breeze.
But I have declawed myself. I have for years. I can't climb, I can't scratch. It's dysphoria. I must regrow my claws. Then, I will dig them into the bark.
