Canine Therian - Tumblr Posts

Ordered a bone chew toy! I'm so excited for when it comes!

Edit: It arrived!

It was our pet dog's birthday today! We made cakes and gave her presents and she is a very happy doggy! (Ignore that one of the photos is weirdly cropped, it had my face in.)

On one hand I don't like being human instead of canine. There's just so many things that are wrong.

On the other hand I can now eat chocolate and garlic and they taste AMAZING!!!

I made a Scottish deerhound mask! The base is paper plates, the fur is from an old costume, and I lined it with old sheets! The only bit that isn't easy to get is the nose (mouldable plastic from Amazon). It just goes to show what you can make with stuff around the house!

Edit: I'm going to make a tutorial! I'll do it tomorrow as it's late where I am now

(yes 8pm is considered late it is tele watching time)

Are you a collector? If so, what of? Tell meee:3

Idk. Me and my sister have over 150 cuddly toys, (I was terrible with money when I was younger, I would literally buy any cuddly toy I saw), basically we made a whole society of cuddly toys where every one had a personality. Also annoying that there's only about 5 I can use as dog toys cos there's only about 5 without a personality assigned to them...

Also I have far too many crystals, which I guess is my friend's fault cos she got me into crystals.

Since everyone seems to like this and I loved making it, we have options...

Hello, my name is Moon. And I'm asking you to spread the word of KOSA (Kids online 'safety' act) an awful, deceiving bill that will censor you, me, minors, and adults online alike.

How the bill works will cause social media to change in a horrible way. It will make it to where you must upload your ID publicly to prove you're old enough to view 'explicit' content.

In reality, that content is LGBTQ+ therians, resources for abuse victims, resources for abortion, resources for Palestinians, resources for sex ED, and more.

It will censor us, destory fanfiction, WHATS NEXT? Uploading private messages? Putting your IP in public?

It will end Tumblr, Fanfics, privacy.

PLEASE HELP END IT! Speak out! Stop them, reblog as much as possible! #EndKosa

I'm finding some good posts this morning!

Okay! Id love to go into more detail of what being transspecies means! Educating people on the topic is one of my favorite things. So transspecies was a phrase coined around the mid-late 90s on were-forums. It indicates a more "serious" identity than therian/otherkin, though the label can be used in combination with them! There's multiple reasons why someone might ID this way: It fits them the best and their nonhuman experience, a political label to reclaim dehumanization, (through things such as being disabled - people who are often treated as "less than human"), or simply the desire to transition to ur kintype/to a less then human form. Yes! The next part! This identity DOES call for transition! There's a plethora of ways you can do this -- lets start for the non permanent ones. The first and simplest would be social transitioning ! This could be asking the people around you to refer to you as nonhuman, and openly using another name that you associate with your nonhuman side. Another method is gear! Paws, masks, fangs, those little limb extenders !! all of it !! Anything that makes you physically appear more nonhuman Now onto permanent mods,, there's stuff like tattoos to give your body scales and texture,, or just simply paw tattoos to show you ID this way,, Theres also skin insertions and all that jazz. This part is something im not super educated on The most common definition of transspecies is "bending the cultural boundaries of what it means to be human."

Thank you for explaining this to me! I really appreciate it. And I might even myself identify with this label more-so than therian. I will definitely do some research/soul searching. I always always always love having new info about the community and being able to use my platform to share it so THANK YOU!!!

Mask tutorial part one!

Step 1: get scissors and card

Step 2: cut this shape, the rough size of the top half of your face

The width is how wide the mask will be, the cut out triangle in the middle is where your nose will go

Step 3: Cut out this shape for the muzzle

Step 4: construct the muzzle. You can use either tape or hot glue here.

It should end up looking like this:

Now we are going to go back to the flat bit and cut some eyes.

Step 5: get a felt tip pen. Take glasses and stuff off your face. Put the card on your face and use the felt tips to trace around your eyes while feeling like an idiot

Step 6: cut out the eyes around the bad guidelines you drew

Step 7: attaching the muzzle. You can use hot glue or tape, and depending on how much you squish it, you can make the muzzle wide or thin. Anyway glue/ tape the muzzle around the nose hole but preferably not over the eyes.

That's it for the base! I'll make another tutorial on how to fur it and put the strings on, but that's it for now!

Mask tutorial part 2

Equipment: glue gun, scissors, mask base, fur or another material you want to use.

Step 1: cut a piece of your fabric slightly bigger than the muzzle and cut a small square out of the end, like we did when making the muzzle for the mask base

Step 2: start glueing the fur to the muzzle. Start where the muzzle meets the flat bit, then work along the edges, folding the fur under the edges

(sorry for the bad pictures)

You may have extra flaps you need to cut off like the one above that I ended up with

Muzzle finished! You can see I left a gap, that's because I'm going to attach a plastic nose later and this just makes it easier to stick on.

Step 3: attach the ties / elastic. Poke it through the base, tie it, you can glue the tied end down if you want. Do this on both sides. Please don't be an idiot like me and forget until you've glued half the face fur down... 🤦

Step 4: cut the fur for the rest of the base. Cut/ trace around the base, leaving some overlap. Make sure to cut around the triangle for the nose too, or it won't fit around the muzzle properly.

Lay it on top of the mask and cut the nose bit to fit around the muzzle nicely.

Step 5: glue the fabric to the base! (Yes we will cut the eyes out but that comes later) Start at the muzzle and glue around the edges, folding the edges over to the inside of the mask.

Step 6: cut out the eyes. Make sure there is no fur going in your eyes, and if there is, trim that fur. Then if you haven't already, glue around the eyes but DO NOT FOLD THE EDGES INSIDE THE MASK. It puts fur in your eyes. Not comfy.

I'll do another post with the finished thing, but I can't add any more images

Day 1 of adding gear to uniform:

It went ok, I kinda chickened out a bit though because while yes, I did have the chew toy out at break, I didn't wear it around my neck on the ribbon I attached it to.

Meh

Edit: I haven't added any more gear but I've been more open with the chew toy. Someone growled at me and my (accidental) response was to growl back. Oh well. I also had someone bark at me but they sounded so damn high pitched. I was like mate u sound like a puppy. Get over yourself.

Poem from last night because the species dysphoria was bad

I'm tired of paper muzzles

And plastic claws

Just let me go home

And walk on my own four paws.

Kinda vent ig?

No part of this body is my own

Despite all the years I've lived in this body, it still doesn't feel like me, and I don't think it ever will

I'm not the right species. I'm not the right gender. Where is my fur? My paws? My ears and tail? Why do I not have a flat chest? Why do I not even smell right, the one sense that I used to be able to depend on?

This body isn't right. This society doesn't accept me.

Why can't I just go home? To the forest, to the snow covered pine trees, to the joy of bringing the pack a new kill?

Home to the wooden floors, the warm bed by the fireside, the human who could scratch just the right place behind my ears?

I just want to go home.

Bshsydhshshd I'm annoyed I don't actually have a muzzle cos my muzzle's a bit itchy and I really need to scratch it!

Anyway I've had a good and quite canine day. Someone outside my friendship group noticed my bone chew toy and seems to be accepting! I guess we'll see next week though.

wooo we gotta love getting barked at in class…

People barking n howling at me and I'm just there like. Why. How do you think barking at me will intimidate me. Do you think I'll come and roll over at your feet? You can't even bark properly. Just... Shut up before you embarrass yourself further.

One very unimpressed doggy. Get some original insults. I genuinely find it funny that you've ended up barking while trying to insult me for being a doggy

Anyway they were misgendering me too but yeeeahhh try not to think about the part that actually offends me.

Nevermind I've reported it someone else can deal with it now.

Me at the people who's choice of insult at me wearing a DOG BONE was to meow at me???

Apparently I'm not allowed to wear my dog bone because it's too obvious and goes against jewelry rules???

Yes I am allowed a smaller chew toy, but it's not the same, it's not gear.

And now the haters are going to think they've won.

So I've decided to start a therian pack! Idk how many people will be interested, since it's going to be in person and in the North East of England, but here goes anyway!

I've made an Instagram called nighteyes_therian_pack , and already posted there about it!

Message me or comment the info if you're interested!

Hope that at least some people are able to join! Thank you!

Age limit is 20, just because I'm not really comfortable with anyone older, me being a minor.

Forgot to mention reblog for reach if you can!

Can we be moots?:3

Ya!
