Ngl I really don't see my therianthropy as being either "physical or non-physical". It just is.
I view it much the same way I view my gender identity. I would never say Im physically nonbinary or psychologically nonbinary or anything along those lines. There might be physically androgynous traits to my body, or certain aspects of my gender may manifest internally more than they do externally, but at the end of the day I simply am nonbinary. I simply am nonhuman.
No hate whatsoever to anyone who does categorize their therianthropy in those ways ofc, more power to you do whatever feels right, just personally I can't picture myself in that sense yk?
"you have an anxiety disorder" it's actually called being a bunny and it is perfectly normal and healthy for me to be like This !!
sorry for curling up at your feet and whimpering like an injured dog that wasn't very mysterious of me

1/ Which category of alterhumanity do you belong to?
At the moment, I only identify with the therian label. That being said, I am going through an identity crisis at the moment because I'm kinda feeling phantom limbs similar to that of an ars goetia from HB??? And now I'm trying to figure out if it's just a cameo shift or if I'm fictionkin or otherkin
2/ What/who is/are your type(s)? (if you have any)
I'm a northwestern wolf, red fox, and domestic cat. I occasionally experience phantom antlers that have me questioning if I'm also a fallow deer
3/ Do you experience shifts? If so, can you tell us your most common shifts and your strangest cameo shift (if you've ever had a cameo shift)?
Yes! I experience mild phantom shifts every now and then. How frequent they are will fluctuate randomly, though I can sometimes force one by thinking about my theriotypes. Yet, even when I force a shift, I can't control what limbs I end up feeling. Most of my shifts are that of my wolf theriotype. I've also experienced mental shifts, but they're less frequent and less intense.
4/ How do you experience your alterhumanity in everyday life?
I'm still learning that it's okay to let myself experience my therianthropy. Most of the time, I experience it in my social interactions, where I end up instinctively using cat body language when talking to people. There are also times where I have the urge to vocalize. Unfortunately, I often have to ignore it due to being around humans. It's an odd feeling. Sometimes it's like fighting a cough while other times it's barely even noticeable. I also spend a lot of time mourning the things I'll never be able to have or experience like unsheathing my claws, living with a pack, or curling my tail around myself. I feel uncomfortable doing quads sometimes because I'm hyper aware of the fact that my body isn't moving or built in the way that it should be. Besides that, I am comfortable with my humanity and embrace it as being another part of my multifaceted identity
5/ What do you think of the community?
From what I've seen, they seem really awesome!
6/ What are the things that make you most comfortable and euphoric in your alterhumanity?
Vocals. I don't get to do them often, but when I do they feel so much happier. Sometimes, phantom shifts also make me feel euphoric. Just the feeling of having a tail, muzzle, or paws is comforting to me. Quads is great too!
7/ Are you experiencing species dysphoria?
Occasionally. It's not so much that I hate being human, so much as I long for other features and abilities. It hurts that I can't have them
8/ What advice would you like to say to a young alterhuman who has just awakened?
Take it slow. You don't have to figure all it out right away. Give yourself grace and the chance to be yourself, the rest will come with time
9/ Do you have/want to have gears?
I don't have any gear yet, but I would love to have a tail, cat paw gloves, a mask, and ears
10/ Do you know/have any theories about the origin of your alterhumanity? If so, tell us! (all beliefs are legitimate)
I'm pretty sure most of it comes from my autism. I feel that it may have influenced how I socialize and perceive myself. That being said, I also don't think that all of it comes from my autism. In the end, it's all just me being me
11/ Tag someone/a creature to answer these questions!ㅤᵕ̈
I don't know anyone to tag, so I guess this is just open to anyone who wants to take part!
"It's so hard being otherkin people don't get it" NO TRUST ME THEY DO you just have to remove any otherkin specific lingo around it.
You aren't a "techkin android robot thing", you just "see yourself as sort of like a robot and think that's cool". Trust me on this because I do this all the time with my irls. I have "robot" in my instagram username. I talk about robots all the time. I say I see myself as a robot. And I like robots so much because I relate to them and think they're cool. And that I wish I was a robot. Even making jokes that I have no brain, only a shitty motherboard that was actually really good by 2006 standards (and adjacent jokes). And nobody is like "ooh look at this robotkin freak" they're like "yeah that's [gadget] he's really into robots nd computers, probably because he's autistic" (but you could probably get around that being neurotypical, my friends just say it's bc I'm autistic because I'm very openly autistic)
this is actually me and my best friend because shes a goosekin!!! :0
“Why’d you do that?” Please remember that I am using what I’ve seen in humans to mimic them
i love looking at pictures of cheetahs because some of them are just the most beautiful breathtaking majestic-looking animals

Therians are very cool
Nonhuman expressions of affection are great. Purring. Exposing weak points as a show of trust. Head bonks. Preening and chewing. Nuzzling. Biting. Intertwining tails. Feeding each other. Little chuffs, chatters, beeps and squeaks. Fluffing up of feathers, fur or other things. Dancing to impress. Cleaning their fur, scales, feathers or skin. Sharing body heat. Ears pointing toward those you care about to show your full attention is on them. Slow blinking.
Me when there's nectar, cactus fruit, and insects at the function.
I feel personally wronged by the fact my body language is so limited. No pointy ears to flatten. No tail to wag. No hackles to raise. No sharp teeth to bare.
