fun little question for therian tumblr

Any of y'all have shifts that just, never go away? My phantom ears and tail never go away, unless I'm having a shift for one of my other theriotypes since they usually don't blend together. Them phantom ears and tail be going HARD all the time. Paws are also a near constant.

still at my friend house, we went to the pool and i had two shifts!!

one of them was my first mental shift jshsjs

A shift I had the other day

So the other day I was at my grandmas house. Behind her house she has a creek. I went outside near the creek, there was so many dragon flys. Something I noticed about my bobcat self is that I love chasing and catching dragon flys, moths, crickets, etc. I saw a black and yellow dragon fly, I was already in a shift but I feel this made it stronger. I was in a hunting pose, like a bobcat would do, slowly creeping up on the small dragon. I had almost caught him and I swear on everything, his head turned and like tilted before I pounced. It was the craziest thing I’ve even seen. It shocked me out of me shift and I just sat there like omg what.

Anyway yeas :>

It's so rude of my shifts and species dysphoria to interrupt me watching Octonauts 😤

‼️QUESTION FOR THR ALTERHUMANS (MORE SPECIFICALLY THERIANS) ON TUMBLR‼️

Is it possible to experience shifts in which case are related to multiple of your theriotypes/animals ? I know polytherianthropy is a thing, but I'm not sure if experiencing multiple animal shifts at the same time makes sense

Asking this because I feel like sometimes during my possible shifts I act both like a wolf but also like a cat, interchangeably, mixed in together, as one spirit rather than two separate parts. Does that make sense?

(also I only just realized I may also be a cat therian. oops.)

I do get overstimulated so maybe I am misinterpreting my tail wagging as happy wags. I do see myself wagging my tail more slowly when happy versus overstimulated. And overstimulated can be a positive or a negative thing, typically leaning towards negative outcome.

But I don't often feel phantom limbs so much as I have mental/vocal/behavioral shifts.

For therians out there who experience shifts,

What was your favorite shift?

What was your most recent shift?

Which kintype do you shift to most often (if you have multiple)?

If you could describe your most recent shift with a song, which song would it be?

I saw your posts asking for asks, so, do you experience shifts of any kind? :3

I do! I experience constant phantom shifts with my tail and ears and also occasionally get paw and muzzle shifts. I also experience mental shifts with activities and are mostly triggered through vocals and quads and also experience emotional shifts when with people I love or in distressing environments :)

I've been having sooo many muzzle shifts lately that are like a big dogs and I'm questioning if I have more then one type. Too clunky to be my normal tiny muzzle. Same with a clunkier tail. Feels similar to the wolf shifts I used to have all the time. My ears are still gone. My muzzle has been here all day tho.

me when i remember im a raging, and wild therian (and otherkin in general).

sorry guys i was cleaning my closet n pulled out my gear n it got me shifty.

i’ve had phantom tail(s) for a LONGG while now its like every day i don’t even question it anymore my tails always waggin

anywayss i bought new ears too n their shorter n i have big hopes for them n i can’t wait for them to get commissioned !!!!

the fact that the terms "reality shifting" and "therian shifts" sound so similar as a concept and one of them was really big on tiktok around the time therian tiktok was getting popular probably contributed to a lot of the misinformation ABOUT alterhuman shifts.

Legit I would see people talk about trying to have phantom shifts using reality shifting methods and basically conflating the two which was. odd.

Because I know that in some ways they can be kind of similar but in other ways... having a tail that is not really there (but also kind of is) is different from literally shifting your consciousness to another reality tbh

unhinged 30 days of otherkin challenge: day 11

What's the most specific or unusual shift (if you experience them) you've experienced?

For my white tern theriotype I had a really weird beak shift once and I seriously wanted to swallow the fishies whole. Not the weirdest thing ever. Also the webbed feeties. Also feather shifts kill me because it makes clothes UNCOMFY.

For my harbor seal theriotype the no ears shifts are funky, and fur shifts, again, drive me nuts. Also funny flippers. Love those :D

AND FINALLY, my dhole theriotype. TONGUE SHIFTS. I don't think they're that weird but I haven't seen anyone else mention it yet. Like canid tongues are VERY different from human tongues and sometimes I'm just like, gimmie the long flat doggie tongue BACK PLEASE. Also I want the teethers back. They're better for chewing sticks.

🗣️: why are your hands so beat up and your nails so bitten??

me: teeth shifts :3

literally me munching:

had horn shifts yestrday… great for my species dysphoria but very sore on the head !! felt like they were growin real hard ‘nd it made my head hurt ,,

Multiverse Theory

We are everything, everywhere, all at once. Ultimately, we are pure consciousness not attached to any reality. There are no such things as "ultimate truths" except the ones that you create within your own perception of reality. Don't limit yourself: you can manifest immortality, your desired reality, teleportation, manifesting instantly, time travel, time manipulation, whether you can fly or not, "fictional" characters shifting to your reality, etc as your "core" laws of reality, or lack of. It's up to you.   Your dominant thoughts (the energy you put mostly in) always create your reality.

The ‘’soul’’ or inner consciousness = everything and nothing.

I get mixed signals about whether you need shifts to be a therian. Because on the one hand I hear, "You don't need shifts to be a therian" while on the other hand I hear, "Just because you act like an animal or want to be a therian does not mean you are a therian. It is an involuntary identity with involuntary behaviors and actions," like wth :/
