It is beyond dumb and annoying as fuck when people look at characters who're in intergenerational friendships and immediately jump to pedopjacking the older character even if their dynamic is healthy because it blatantly overlooks WHY kids and adults being close friends can be bad.It's not a problem on it's own,the problem is a lot adults don't actually care about kids or are fucking ped0s and the solution isn't not let them interact except relatives fullstop,it's to teach younger how to identify predators so they can stay away from them and pretty much nobody who's insistent on the thing i'm talking about does it!In latino cultures like mine,it's normalized for children and older folks to be close even with no blood relations to form a stronger and safer community and it's also normalized to tell kids that it's wrong for adults to view them sexually(admitedly,this is sadly not universal but there's tons of latino regions where pedophiles are considered not people)

Kids and adults CAN have real friendships but it's important for the adults in them to establish proper boundries and not use the younger person as a therapist and in fact,it should be the other way around because it's the job of older people to be positive figures in younger ones lives they can count on and since i'm an eldest sibling who's always gotten along with their little siblings,i enjoy hanging out with and taking care of younger people and not expecting adult behavior from them because that's what my s/os and adult friends are for!It's also a personal thing for me because i got bullied growing up and had absolute ass adults all around me so this is my way of breaking the cycle of abuse by being the person for my bio siblings and my intergenerational friends i wished i'd had and i see the latter as my siblings too(and vice versa)since it's a culture thing i was raised in to see your friends as the same as family

'Why would an adult be close friends with a kid?That's weird!'Because kids are people with feelings and personalities of their own and not 'puritans' or 'stupid' or 'losers' or 'taking up space' or 'should know better even if they weren't taught better' and some of us reacted to experiencing child abuse by growing up to care about kids because we were once them too and the fact that you'd rather believe nobody could ever love a child in a familial way without abusive intentions says a lot about you with how you treat them in general,hope this fucking helps bitch!!!!

So, more sites for animal research!

Im so glad ppl actually found this helpful, so I found more sites similar to animalia ☆

[yes I accidentally deleted this... I'm writing a second time]

Most similar to animalia are animalcorner.org and animalspot.net.

More focused ones are allaboutbirds.org for avian therians, oceaninfo.com and oceana.org (the marine life encyclopedia can be found under the research section) for ocean creatures.

Earth.com is still general, only it has a plant encyclopedia too!! woohoo!

For paleotherians helpfull can be newdinosaurs.com!!

And for more magical creatures I found mythicalencyclopedia.com, which even has sections by type and culture of the creature. And even a section of artificial ones. And an app?? it seems??

Hi

I would like to know what types of alterhumans are the most present on Tumblr ✨

If you are fictionkin and therian, for exemple, vote for the dominant kintype and if you don't have a dominant kintype, press other.

Eeeee yes I have forgot the t in plantkin 😅

:33 < please note youdo not have to !! this is choice only, give this post notes if you feel comfortable enough !! (and if youdont go against the dni :3)

Your kintype is not stupid

I promise!

You know how many years I have wasted trying to convince myself that I was something more mainstream like a fox or a wolf?

All because I didn’t want to admit my actual kintype because I thought it was ugly at the time

I basically gaslit myself into falling under the ‘characteristics’ of a wolf because that was the majority of the community’s species

And when I didn’t shift or have the memories of a wolf I felt even worse about myself and thought I was doing something wrong

Don’t hide what your brain or feeling are trying to tell you! Wether you’re a bug, fish, plant, object, household pet, or anything else uncommon…

BE YOU!!!!
