You don't need to do anything in particular to be a therian or otherkin except just having that identity. You don't need to do quads. You don't need gear. You don't need to have a pack. You don't need to be able to draw your kintype. You don't need to have shifts often or at all. You don't need to make animal vocals. You don't need anything other than identifying as your kintype. You can do whatever you want with that identity, and it doesn't have to align with what the community likes to do with theirs.

A satyr is meant to live carefree. I don't know how to hold my footing in the hostile and always-demanding world humans have created for each other. I'm just not built for it.

im actually someone’s oc but we don’t have to talk about that

Reminder for the tags that your identity (alterhuman or otherwise) is your own. No one can tell you what's going on in your mind or what you're feeling. No one can prove you right or wrong when it's a matter of your own personal identity. Only you can decide who and what you are, and only you can label that. It's okay to be wrong, to change labels, to decide that you were confused and to try on other labels for size. Questioning and taking your time with yourself isn't wrong by any means. What matters at its core is that your identity is yours and yours alone--no one can take that from you or decide who you are for you.

2020s-era "kinnies" start shaking and trembling when a real honest-to-god fictionkin walks in the room

i will defend kin (like Actual kin like the "i am this character" "i was this character in a past life" sort not the 'i like them' meaning everyone else is using) til my DYING BREATH

they should invent a body that feels normal to be inside of
