#hare kin

ⵌ , Kin Blinkies Part 1 ” . . .

i put together like a random list of kin blinkies a couple months ago and decided to finally make them yay : 3 (some of these were suggestions / requests from my friends btw : p)

To me, my legs feel absolutely deformed. Sometimes I become aware of them when I walk or sit and it doesn't just feel dysphoric, it feels straight up wrong.

Y'know those analog horrors with creatures whose joints are too many or misshapen or at the wrong places? That's what this feels like.

I'm a hare, I'm known for the fact that my hind feet are giant and I can use them to leap across fields in seconds and outrun pretty much anyone. I'm also a canid, I'm supposed to have legs that allow me to run, chase and hunt, with claws at the ends. But guess what? I don't. And it's something that I will never be able to change. I will never reach the speed I'd be able to reach if I had the correct body. Not to mention having to run on 2 legs instead of 4 is already a pain (unless your theriotype has 2 legs). I can imagine therians with more than 4 legs like insectkins, bugkins, otherkins with many legs, etc feeling this too and I can imagine creatures without any legs perhaps dislike having them at all.

Of course, there are shoes I can wear to simulate the feeling of hooves or hare feet, but they are still not mine. Leg warmers can look nice, but they don't change the shape of my legs. I can get into quadrobics for the way I feel about running, but that way I'm even slower than on two legs and all they do is look awkward and bring me pain because they are longer than my arms. (Besides, not everyone can do quads for a multitude of reasons, just like not everyone can run, obviously.)

♥︎ I ADORE being an animal that regresses, or shifting while I regress, because it's so fun!! I love being a little wolf/dog 🐺🐶 pup who can just roll around and bark and yip and play all day! Then I'll do some simply tricks or commands for my human or roughouse with them because I see them as a part of my pack!! It's good for a pups development to learn how to tussle >:]

♥︎ I love being a little tiger 🐯 cub that can just roar and play with colorful toys until I feel like taking a big ol' catnap for hours. Then I can go right back to playing and pretend to stalk my stuffies!

♥︎ I love being a baby bird 🦅where I can make a lovely nest and sit there all day with some snacks and chirp! It also eases my thoughts about not being able to fly, because I'm just a small chick!! I'm not ready to leave the nest yet

♥︎ I love being a baby dragon 🐲 because I can hoard all my stuffies and toys in a special place where I can care for them all day and protect them. Then I can demand treats from the tiny humans to get one of my toys. A good dragon knows that payment can't go unrewarded! ^^

♥︎ I also love being a tiny dinosaur 🦖 (raptor or t rex) because I love to just run and run all day with my strong legs and attack my toys!! I'm so fierce! I will roar and chirp to show how scary I am but I'm really just a little guy. I can also chase my tail and enjoy a good heat lamp.
