Oooh, I'm not a cub no more I've grown into a Lioness and I'm 'bout to roar All these wars have only made me better, stronger, tougher
I roar, you run Hear me get wild, hear me get wild Awake and alive I move, you lose Watch me arise, watch me arise Brave like a Lioness

The purpose of this survey is to collect data about the experiences of people who feel sensations of nonhuman body parts, for example, wings or a tail. Some call these supernumerary phantom limbs, phantom shifts, otherlimbs, or astral limbs, though you may have other preferences for the words you use for your own experiences. If you haven't had those experiences, you can participate in this survey too. This survey was made for people who call themselves otherkin, therianthrope, furry, or any other potentially alterhuman or nonhuman identity. If you don't describe yourself with any of those words, you can participate in this survey too.
The survey will take you about 6 to 15 minutes. Everyone age 18 and up is welcome to fill out the survey at the below link, until it closes on July 6, 2024:
Survey Link
Who is running this survey and why: The person running this survey is Orion Scribner (they/them), an otherkin/therianthrope who has been making projects about these communities since 2005. I will use the results in my panel at an Internet-based convention later this year (OtherCon 2024), and in other future research projects.

oh yes, it's perfect
not an introvert, not an extrovert, but a secret third thing (pack animal who would do much better with its own species)

sunny day.
the moment when you, while walking down the street thinking about nothing, feel your big round front paws, to the full extent, you feel the fur, you stretch your claws-
and then accidentally look at your shadow and see weird, foreign even, long fingers instead

I'm a hand-raised lion scared to leave my enclosure because it's all I know.
I get it... I was raised far from "real life struggles", in our apartment. Spending all my life "inside", where my family did it all for me like zookeepers. Lone lockdown life before covid, maybe that's why it wasn't that tough to me.
And now I'm facing this real world with all its socializations expected, not really prepared for it. I even work from home, where to do the "real life socializations" even? I don't have agoraphobia in a phobia meaning, I'm just used, that I'm hopelessly stuck here, in this golden cage, why seeking something else, it's nice here.
So yes, a #zoolionlife, "safe"-repeating over and over, and over again. I once thought it strongly contradicts with lions in general (open spaces, much communication), but with understanding some zoo consequences it somehow makes sense - a lion cub raised with lots of milk bottles fed to it by many nannies, won't grow up and run away to become a fierce fighter, it will sit and wait for a meat steak offered on a plate...
Zoochosis:
a form of psychosis that develops in animals held captive in zoos. Most often, it manifests in what are called stereotypic behaviors, or stereotypies, which are often monotonous, obsessive, repetitive actions that serve no purpose.
I feel like I'm going through Zoochosis everyday in some capacity. Even when I'm happy and having a good day something inside me is in constant discomfort. It was a lot worse years before, and I did get help, but it's just not something that is ever going to be fixed.
I understand why there was a period where I developed agoraphobic behavior. I don't like and can't/don't want to understand the modern human world outside. What hurts me today is that I feel Zoochosis in my own home. I go stir-crazy quickly now. I coop myself up in what's supposed to be my safe territory and I make myself miserable because my stupidly human brain needs social interaction with people.
I hate driving, I don't have many friends, there are no easy third places and I'm certainly not hanging out at a bar. And I just thought maybe I'd bloom in college. That I'd make a bunch of friends and learn how to be a person. Now that I'm about to graduate I can see maybe more maturity in myself, but my behaviors have barely changed.
Why do I need to leave my house? Why can't I just be happy here? Why is it still so hard for me? I wanted this house to be my territory but it's a cage. I'm a hand-raised lion scared to leave my enclosure because it's all I know.

I hate when people get mad when others take naps. Like, I’m literally a lion and I need 18 to 20 hours of sleep, let me nap you foolish human!

One of my regular thoughts
Why I got this "luck" to be a lion out of everything?
Why I'm not something from my own climate/biome/country? That would be much easier. Lucky forest creatures, you're most likely already got some parks or woods to feel at home.
While my place, a European country, got forests, snowy winters (overall temperatures under +23 C) I hate them! Everything is crowded, my town, nature around. When I'm meant to be in the open grasslands, I end up feeling like in a big crowded zoo. In a cage-like apartment. Like on this photo, 100%, yeah that's me.
Now I'll go, to hope for a hot summer this year.

A beautiful and sad song to listen to before sleep. if you like going to sleep in weird nostagic tears
Stories carried secretly in our skin Chasing down the lakes, to the rivers To make it through the summer and winter Wild hearts (wild hearts) We run free (we run free) This golden land beneath the sky Is all we ever need Wild hearts (wild hearts) We run free (we run free) This home where we live and die, is Serengeti

Something in this video makes me almost depressed.
Maybe it is the thing they call envy..?
Man I'm so envious of your place, all I have is a crowded town I'm stuck in, surrounded by ordinary humans.
Life is not fair

Intro
Hey there,
I'm Essa, she/her, a werelioness.
I made this blog to share my worldview, experiences with those who are interested in such. Also English isn't my native language, in case I make some mistakes, I'm still learning and practising.
Welcome to my werelion lair.
