dog

for all dogs to use! can be holothere, transspecies, therian, nonhuman alters or just anyone who is a dog in any way!

(A description of the flags shown below is provided in the alternative text of each respective image!)

This is the furry alterhuman flag! It is intended to be used by anyone who identifies as and/or with anthropomorphic/humanoid animals - better known as furries - in an alterhuman (or nonhuman) way.

The green stripes represent animals and a connection to nature, the yellow stripes represent a connection to humanity and anthropomorphic traits, the orange stripes represent the embrace of weirdness and creativity (as these are traits often associated with being a furry and the broader furry community), and the white stripe represents species ambiguity, as this flags is intended for furry alterhumans of all species! The paws directly represent furry imagery and the alterhuman symbol obviously represents the fact that this flag is intended to be centered around alterhumanity.

Below you will find nine variants of this flag that pertain to more specific alterhuman and adjacent identities!

In order order of appearance, these are the the specific identities attached to these flags:

Transspecies furry

Furry therian

Furry otherkin (AKA furrykin)

Furry otherlink (AKA furrylink)

Furry copinglink (AKA furry c-link)

Furry otherchain (AKA furrychained)

Furry otherflicker (AKA furryflicker)

Furry otherfix (AKA furryfix)

Furry otherhearted (AKA furryhearted)

i wanna see my fellow chubby out of shape teens who don’t do quads that often, because of how out of shape and chubby they are, even if they love quads.

i wanna see my fellow out of shape teens who pull a muscle when doing quads, or are out of breath right away, or are completely sore afterwards for days.

i wanna see my fellow chubby teens who’s quads are clumsy and not graceful because we have all that extra weight on us.

i wanna see my fellow queer chubby teens who bind and who don’t do quads that often cuz their chest doesn’t stay in place right or stay flat and it makes them feel gender dysphoria.

i wanna see my fellow chubby, out of shape teens doing this stuff. or not even teens! anyone of any age! that isn’t skinny as hell and that isn’t in shape!

i just would like to see some more nonhumans like me please.

I AM NOT AN AUTHORITY ON ALTERHUMAN LABELS!

[Plain Text: I AM NOT AN AUTHORITY ON ALTERHUMAN LABELS!]

If I get something wrong, PLEASE do not assume that it's on purpose! I'm not saying that you can't be annoyed or upset or offended. But getting snippy and aggressive, acting like that's going to do anything, isn't the answer either.

I MAKE MISTAKES! THAT'S OKAY!

[Plain Text: I MAKE MISTAKES! THAT'S OKAY!]

What WOULDN'T be okay is if I didn't take responsibility for the accidental misinformation. But if you look through the linked resources in my pinned post (specifically the one on why k word is a slur and the harms of miagendering) then you'll see that I have absolutely no problem being corrected when misinformation is accidentally spread.

I'm going to make mistakes. That. Is. O. Kay. That's okay. I'm not perfect. I'm not super, in-depth, always up to date, nerded out on all alterhuman identities and their definitions.

Please, please, please stop acting like the person on your screen is intentionally being malicious when past behaviors prove that that is not the case. A gentle correction is all I need. That's it.

I'm writing this because I've gotten a few things wrong about a few different identities. And while I greatly appreciate the people who have gently reproached me, I've had a couple other people who get passive aggressive or accusatory. Please, please, please. I never want to offend anybody. You're feelings are valid but lashing out at me as if I did it on purpose, IS NOT. Please just let me know that I got it wrong, maybe give me some reading material. I genuinely don't mind.

what i'm realising is that i'm not really a kelpie (behaviour wise), i'm just a domestic canine that happens to look the most like a kelpie - so i call myself a kelpie
