irl werewolf ☆

Hello !

-———-

My name is Io, or yereyolf, and I am a werewolf / weredog !

I’ve known that I was a werewolf for a few years now, and thought it would be nice to share my experiences with others or maybe even find other werewolves out there !

If you want to hear about my life as a werewolf (or connect with a fellow werewolf), feel free to follow my blog and like this post !

“About me” below the cut !! ↓↓↓

i'm high-energy. i need to r u n

i belong outside

not in here

1. chasing anything that moves

2. long car rides

3. constantly making noise

hii !!!

hi to all 100 critters that follow me !!!

so...sleepy...

also me: when i was younger i would eat dry Nesquik cereal in a bowl. on the floor. without my hands or a spoon. because i was pretending to be a dog.

i'm going to chatter my teeth at you

it is very exciting to discover another part of my canine-ness.

also, hello to all my other canines out there U⁠^⁠ｪ⁠^⁠U

i just feel large and ungraceful

i want to be lanky

i want my long limbs and paws

im neurodivergent so idk if that explains this away but its definitely not the only way i … sort of act animal without thinking about it?

apparently my expressions are catlike. i sound and act like a cat Especially in the morning (when im still waking up and not masking). ever since i can remember ive made small chirps and mews and gently bonked my head against peoples shoulders when i feel safe with them. i sniff things to investigate them, ive always been quiet/easily sneak up on people without meaning to etc. also very picky about being dirty/strict about self grooming and had to train myself to be able to handle water on my face. none of these things are something i do consciously? and what i Can control has had to be trained over the years?

idk this is very long and i hope it’s not a bother but is it worth looking into being a therian more? are there good online resources? are there indicators? i totally know im in a human body and have a human brain it’s just like. im kinda human to the left it feels like. maybe? or maybe it’s just the autism + trauma idk. help is appreciated

Sorry, I took so long to reply. I'm always happy to answer questions:

my option from what you've described is that it could be pet/animal regression, which is different from therianthropy. It is possible that you simply find comfort in animal-like behaviors due to neurodivergency or traumatic experience, but it doesn't hurt to look into possibly being a Therian.

Some of the things you described do align with therianthropy--and, from my personal experience, I've found that animal-like behaviors came inherently to me since I was young, but grew more pronounced with my awakening as an otherkin.

Some indicators that I've noticed within myself are a sort of draw towards nature and animals (which, for me, I think is a mix of both autism and alterhumanness), a more natural lean toward animal-like behaviors, and phantom limbs (which not everyone experiences, but for me were a sign of my nonhumanity) and a strong, near constant desire to appear or be something other than human.

It never hurts to look into it if you find yourself questioning, and a good resource is simply asking other therians/alterhumans about their experiences.
