Happy appreciate a dragon day to all the dragons of the alterhuman community! :} Dragons are very present in the community and the ones I’ve come to know have been inspirational to me. Keep being you, whatever type of dragon you are!

I have always seen skeptics and haters of therians ask the question: “why are there SO many wolves and canine therians if you all were animals in a past life and its involuntary and purely by chance.” And what bothers me is therians NEVER answer this question honestly. They never give the right answer and it’s right there, and all because they’re trying to sell the idea that all forms of animal identity are involuntary and spiritual. The answer is not “oh but there are all kinds of therians! I’ve literally seen bug therians! I’ve seen all kinds!” Yes, true, but there is an answer for why so many of us are canids and it has to do with the fact that identifying as an animal can have psychological and environmental components to it. And, comfortable with this idea or not, being a therian is in many ways, very human. Relating to and identifying as animals has been a thing humans have done for probably since the entire time they’ve been around. Add to this the fact that animal identity, like ANY identity, can be influenced by culture and life experience and you get the pervasiveness of canids in our community. Wolves foxes coyotes and dogs have close ties to us and show up in almost every culture all around the world. We are surrounded by dogs and surrounded by stories about canines and humans have an extremely long and pervasive relationship with canines and dogs. That is the answer. Even if you are a spiritual canine, it’s likely the answer. Being influenced by culture does not take away your validity in identity. Stop trying to push the idea that therianthropy is an entirely involuntary spiritual belief. It’s not. It’s just an identity. And it’s up to the person to decide and explore how that identity came to be. People who hate therians are not going to take you more seriously because you gaslit them into thinking we were a “past life spirituality”. lol. It’s stupid. Stop that. You’re excluding everyone else.

Good morning everykit.. I've made myself a mood board
