Silly moodboard for MEEEEEE

I've been wanting these doggy shampoo/soap bars for so long, they are for people as well but a lot of their products are marketed for dogs :3 Affirming and safe ^^

They are coated in wax right after they're made to keep them fresh and use real fruits for some of their ingredients!

{Mutt Fresh}

The person who makes these treats (truffles) has a few videos of her eating them, only the large yellow one tho!! (banana and pumpkin flavor)

She uses superfoods to dye them cute colors and uses real meat in order to keep the ingredients clean!! They have a yogurt shell as well!

If you guys know of any other products like these, safe for the body but affirming, plz lmk!!!

(Anima-lurge)

A coining. I guess.

I have been in search of a term that best describes my feelings and I honestly feel like I still haven't found it, but having something that feels free to me is what I'm most excited about.

I am not bashing or denouncing any terms or history, I am just having something that feels lest restrictive in my journey. If you'd like to also use this term, feel free. This was made with me in mind and within like an hour so it's got some flaws.

I'll be using this term in tandem with therian/otherhearted/otherkin/etc, since it's essentially an amalgamation of many things.

❅ Animalurge:

Animalurge represents a profound desire to embody various animal qualities, encompassing physical attributes like ears, tails, and instincts, as well as connections to the natural habitats where these animals reside.

Individuals with Animalurge experience comfort and a sense of freedom when envisioning themselves with these animal qualities or as animals. These feelings can fluctuate in intensity and may be associated with a diverse array of animals. This term encapsulates a fusion of experiences often found in therianthropy, otherheartedness, and regression.

It's an integrated feeling that can be triggered by specific circumstances such as watching documentaries about the chosen animal, encountering related foods, engaging in specific activities, or immersing themselves in nature or related gear.

Individuals can choose to define their experience as identifying "with" or "as" an animal or neither/both. Animalurge is a term designed to encompass a wide range of experiences that may or may not align with existing media representations.

❅ -Lurge:

The suffix "-lurge" is used to denote specific Animalurge identities.

❅ Examples:

❅ Parker is an Animalurge. They are a wolflurge. With a strong yearning to possess biological wolf traits and instincts, Parker finds a sense of freedom in nature and takes pleasure in daydreaming about life as a wolf and "acting" like one. These feelings are a consistent part of their daily thoughts and experiences.

❅ Toby is also an Animalurge, specifically a catlurge. Toby's desires and visions for their catself are highly specific. They imagine themselves as a dilute tortoiseshell house cat. These catlurge feelings arise periodically, typically once a month, often triggered by posts or media related to cats.

❅ Minty is a multi-faceted Animalurge, encompassing broad rabbitlurge connections with all variants of rabbits, deeply routed in her being. Her primary focus is rabbitlurge, a feeling of a mind intertwined with these creatures. Additionally, she is a cockatiellurge, which she considers more for fun, keeping it in mind when swinging on a swing or enjoying sunflower seeds. Her mouselurge identity is derived from a general interest in mice, representing a blend of various aspects that change in intensity throughout the year.
