I wasn’t sure how to word the title, so… here up you go! Full title: Therianthropy and the furry community- updates on my involvement. EDIT: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1129994853/ Topic 1: Therianthropy I used to have a big involvement, making art, looking at Therian things, but gradually stopped. I stopped wearing masks, and gradually moved away for doing quads. Honestly, I’m not sure if I was a Therian to begin with. I faked a lot of my shifts, and never felt real connection with my ‘Theriotype’ I did this because my ex-friend was a Therian, and I wanted to like what they liked, and do what they did. I didn’t mean to be a “fake Therian”, per say, I just unintentionally involved myself in a community I wasn’t really even in. Topic 2: Furries. My username says I’m a furry. I posted stuff about my fursona. I talked about fursuits. Now…I’m not really in this community either, I just…I don’t know. Drifted away as I got older, you know? With both things. It’s been a bit since I was totally active in these communities, and even longer since I joined. As I said, I tried liking what my friends liked, as I desperately wanted them to like me. I learned that that’s not healthy. I realized how, even though I liked quads, being a therian constantly made me cry, and I probably wasn’t even a Therian to begin with. I loved fursuits, and when I went to comic-con for the first time I was SO exited. I still think they’re cool, but they aren’t who I am. All of this is valid, it’s not me though. I like animals, but I don’t think I was an animal in a past life anymore or like anthropomorphic animals (not like like, an interest. I have to clear this up because of Zooph!les and such) like I used to. I’m just a non-binary human who likes dinosaurs and the forest. That’s it, now. Not anything animal related in the form of fursuits or quads. I’ve grown, remember? As I have, my personality has changed. And that old me…isn’t me anymore. Please keep comments respectful. You may say I’m a fake Therian, I do not care. I probably was. I just wanted to make this clear, so…yeah.
