A lot of things are falling into place for me re: memory and plurality. And like… It’s nice to finally have an explanation that isn’t ‘idk I’ve hit my head a lot ig’ but also… Where do we go from here?

#apologies for all the plural stuff #it sure is happening a lot lately #but on the crittery side we do have some cool shift stuff to log

I'm honestly questioning myself from scratch for a while. I want to feel entirely confident in what I'm calling myself, but that doesn't make me less of a therian either.

I'm going to be entirely transparent for a moment as an adult, and explain sort of my feelings and why I've felt so wishy washy with my labels lately. I don't feel that I "owe" anyone an explanation, but I do feel that others may relate.

I've been trained for 22 years be a human.

In elementary school, I answered "dog" for what I wanted to be when I grew up, while everyone else wrote doctor or lawyer. I didn't fit in. You can't strive to become a 'dog'. I was bullied and excluded relentlessly, but it didn't stop me until teachers started calling my family about it. I began to feel shame for the first time, and suddenly found that my recess time was spent sitting in time out. Playing with ants wasn't okay. Digging in the playground wasn't okay. Eating without utensils wasn't okay. I think about her all of the time, and how sad she must have felt to be punished for unharmful behaviors and told to "fix" it. I didn't know how.

Middle school is when I started to experience dysphoria. It wasn't gender dysphoria like I thought for a long time. It was species dysphoria. The experience of developing breasts didn't feel correct. Animals, even mammals, don't have them like I do. Bras made me feel feral and I always tried not to wear them. It got me sent to the office more than once all because my chest wasn't as small as some other girls'. My clothes were no longer acceptable either, and I didn't want to wear what everyone else was. More exclusion if I didn't choose to follow the rest.

High school was the worst. I was fitting in finally, but my mental health struggled horrifically. I had no safe avenues anymore to deal with my stress. I couldn't voice that I didn't like something without aggression because I couldn't use animal behaviors anymore. My clothes scratched, my bra itched, my grades struggled. I was in the counselors office more than I would like to admit. My family was in disarray and I felt caught in the middle of it all, with no way to be anything but human. My girlfriend at the time knew I was a therian since I finally found the word to describe how I felt, but she relentlessly held it against me and shamed me anytime she wasn't happy which was often. At some point, I ended up in the ER with mental health concerns and in therapy accordingly. Nothing seemed to help me though.

College was fine. I kept my head down and just tried to get through my work. Socializing felt damn near impossible, but I was managing. I don't know what I would have done if the pandemic didn't happen, moving me online for 2 years. I finally had a last ticket out of my parents' house, and I had found a boyfriend who loved every bit of my crittery behaviors. It was a good time for me to finally try and rediscover myself, but that fell apart when I graduated.

My home state drove me out by cost alone. I moved the same month I walked the stage with my degree, and I had a job already lined up. I was excited for the money, freedom, and new experiences. Soon though, that turned into a complete loss of my nonhumanity. I am now working 8 hours a day where I have to behave perfectly around everyone. I drive 1 hour to work and 1 hour home. I have to cook and clean and run errands. I need to shower and lay out my clothing for the next day, then try to get 8 hours of sleep. Where do I find the time to be an animal anymore? On the hiking trails, everyone is watching me. In my dreams, I'm a human worried about my finances and my social interactions. I feel lost a lot of the time as my animalistic behaviors are sometimes limited to a single hiss in traffic, wearing a tail while I cook or clean, or a very short nap in a hammock outside where my neighbors can still see me.

I'm trying to reconnect with myself, but there is little time and space. It is entirely possible to be an adult nonhuman, but I am finding that it can require dedicated time set aside in the day. If you're feeling disconnected from yourself, I think it's worth asking: when did the disconnect begin? Was it really a month ago? Or has it began decades ago when people told you you're not normal, that you won't fit in, and that you'll fail. How does a dog know what makes it a dog anymore if it has been trained to speak human, work like a human, spend time outside like a human, drive as a human, and so on.

Be gracious with yourself and give yourself dedicated time to be an animal. You are not broken or wrong or stupid. You need animal time as a therian to be healthy, happy, and focused. You need animal time to give yourself a break from a world not willing to adjust to your behaviors. You need animal time to feel like yourself, and to connect with your roots. You're nonhuman even if sometimes you wonder if you still are, if you struggle to stick with a label because you can't remember what you actually feel like, and if you can't find the time some days to be nonhuman.

You are still authentic. You are still real. You are deserving of joy and comfort. Be the little critter you are.

I'll probably make some self care idea posts more geared for adults and older teens sometime soon to directly address this issue. Even without a label, I still plan on being active online as much as I am active offline. ♡ When a label feels like it best suits what I'm experiencing or want to focus myself around, I'll announce it.

I really love Noise in your artstyle. He's adorable yet so crittery!

I've noticed you accept requests for Noise drawings..It would be nice to see his interactions with Vigilante! Maybe Vigi saving Noise from chicken harassment on the Fun farm or..smth else, maybe your headcanons about their relationship

Either way, even if this request isn't made, I'll still be very happy to see your next works! It's really fascinating how you can post such nice art every day. So..Best luck!

Aaahh!! ; O ; Honestly this is the sweetest ask. I'm so glad you like how he comes out when I draw him haha, it gives me the power to keep going. <3

And I ammm! Golly, I wanted to do something with Vigi but just couldn't think of anything. So I will take your idea for the next one! uwu I might share some headcanons down the road though ooo never know with meee. Either way, next one goes for yooou.

AAHH I'm touched that you think its nice, esp since I am trying to keep these simple enough to get to the next day. ;w ; <3 <3 <3

Thank you for the kind words!!

Introduced the ecollar to the babydog with my trainer this morning in preparation for offleash walks. It is interesting to compare him to my other dogs.

Bindi's working level was right above the threshold where I'm able to feel it. I never used vibration or tone on her because I knew they'd traumatize her, while the stim didn't bother her. She stayed at low levels her entire life.

Kermit's working level started out pretty high, then lowered dramatically once he learned a) what it means (come means come), b) it is very consistent, and c) he is in control of the stim.

While we were standing in an empty, boring parking lot trying to find Zaku's working level, he didn't respond to anything below Kermit's higher end stim. Once we took him onto the grass and let him sniff gopher holes, we had to increase the stim. Adding an offleash demo dog needed another increase. Zaku was quite happy to totally ignore us and cheerfully continue digging holes at the levels I'm used to operating at. He never paid the slightest attention to the vibration setting.

We're introducing him to the ecollar basically exactly the same way I did Kermit and Bindi, it's just at way higher levels than I've used previously, so I'm glad I have the trainer to hold my hand. She told me it's normal for bitesports dogs, especially when they get into drive.

I have some homework to work on for the next month, then we'll reconvene and move to the next step. It's surprising me how long it's taking to get this dog safe for offleash walks, especially since he has a sister (who is not at all crittery like Zaku is) who has been going on them for months, but everyone has to move at their own pace.

Wait…if critters are mistrustful of humans and humans are afraid of/cruel to critters, why do some critters still choose to live in the human world?

The human world usually has a more normal environment than magical dimensions and contains high quality stuff that can be used in crittery industries (for example, regular gemstones can be turned into magical gemstones easily with some magic and work). Some critters live there as their job to extract that stuff secretly. Critters can get used to their place and will continue to live their life in the human world. Some other just decide to move there out of their interest with humans and the human world, and some dark critter will go there to live and kill people.

Oh by the way, if they disguise as humans, successfully hide their marks, and don't use magic, they can easily blend into the society without anyone noticing. So if they're unnoticed and/or highly paid for their job... nothing would go wrong, right?
