GEAR INSPIRATION: All types of Therian & Otherkin GEAR! | Alterhuman 

I feel like one of the best things in the therian community is definitely the creations that are made

A big one I think you missed, though it slightly falls under masks, would be fursuits! The realistic ones would work really well for earthen or common fantasy creatures and the toony ones more for people who are OCkin. On a totally unrelated note, the captions keep calling you Thor instead of Thorn, so I hope you’re happy with your new status as the thunder god XD

Nonwearable/collection gear is so underrated... one of my favorite pieces of gear is a feather I found that looks just like my gryphon feathers, I also have a couple acorns on my desk for my squirrel theriotype :)

Can confirm the dog toys thing. Gave myself a pretty much permanent jaw injury with a dog toy. Also another gear i highly reccomend is kinda modifying your clothes to represent your animal identity. I have a hoodie where I've sewn some faux fur on the arms, and i also have shoes I painted nails on

Not a therian but a dragon, I’ve got a really cool pair of knitted gloves that look like scales and a big long tail that I wear around the house, it’s great! Also bones and rocks that I find and random shiny objects like pieces of glass

Before i figured out I was a therian, I kinda did quadrobics in a different way. I also played like i was an animal,not like the people who say “i will play ad the animal..blah blah.” I actually walked ,idk but might have do vocals too. We had this game with my friends where we found a crystal then our spirits turn into different animals. It was kinda fun. Later on , I awakened at this summer, being a polytherian.

I am a therian and a dragon kin and collecting crystals make me feel like a dragon ❤

Get yourself chewlery which you can actually chew on without issues! It is considered a form of stim toys.

I think that music is another way of expressing your experience as a therian.

I love the freedom and amount of self-expression in the alterhuman community! Finding more creative ways other than just masks and tails is awesome (although those things are still great). Some personal gear-type things I do: I really enjoy vulture culture, as well as collecting things like cool rocks, sticks, and feathers that I keep at a special space in my room. Art is a wonderful form of expression. I often draw and make moodboards for animals and nature scenes, as well as myself as my kintypes or some type of hybrid. Music really helps me connect too. Lastly, I like to make little scent pouches that I put around the house. I’ll soak a string-material in water filled with certain plants and oils and it makes my home feel very forest-y, especially when a breeze comes through the windows. It almost feels like I’ve made a scent-post, haha. Love hearing others’ ideas! I for sure want to get more plushies in the future. :)

I'm a fox therian and this year I found a fox skull in the meadow. I didn't know I was a therian back then, but I REALLY wanted to take her with me and cleanse her, even though no one in my family supported it. Now, apart from the mask, gloves and a few gears that I recently ordered, I also have a beautiful skull on the shelf and I am happy. I don't speak English well and I use a translator, sorry if I wrote it incorrectly

As a therian, I love seeing you on RU-vid and I just wanna say, you give me bursts of happiness with my therianthropy, and you remind me of how there are other therians out there and I'm not alone. I know others probably feel the same way and that makes me glad.Thank you for being just yourself and not letting people discourage you. Never stop being yourself!!!!!!

The clothes stuff also works for fictionkins ! I really like to dress like my fictotypes or doing stuff that reminds me of them. For example, I like collecting fake guns and gems. Art is a great way of expressing yourself. I draw my kintypes a lot. You can also decorate your room like it was your nest/cavern/whatever your kintype lives in. It feels great, I swear. I don't think this counts as gear, but you can roleplay (irl or by gaming) as your kintype. There's a lot of [animal/creature] simulators. Also, apparently, according to the captions, alterhumans are ultra humans. Great, really. Philosophical maybe.

I could actually relate to the hoarding trinkets like dragons do even before I knew I was therian. As far back as I can remember I would always find little things on the ground that other people had thrown away or lost or discarded and I would keep it for myself. I also take pride in the amount of pencils I was able to collect last year. And speaking of pencils, don’t worry I share those with the poor people who always forget their school supplies. Probably because they were the ones who lost the pencils in the first place 😂

Another piece of gear you missed was wings for avian and dragon therians/otherkin. Personally my therian and otherkin types are Artic wolf, black cat, angler fish, red macaw and fire dragon, so wings are a big part of expressing those last two kin types

I make masks and wear my tail, but i also make drawings! I drew a BUNCH of paws of my therotype and their paw ! And i still consider it gear :)

I’m not completely sure I’m a part of the community but I’m looking into it. If not I’ll probably just keep watching this channel because of the amazing community! If I am a therian I am probably a feline or canine theriotype or maybe both. I hope I am a therian and can join this amazing community

an idea for a video that i would find very handy is explaining how to find the theory behind one's therianthropy. I've watched some of your other videos that were related to this, but more focused on definitions or your personal experience. love your content

I actually really needed this video because even though I have a tail and stuff, my family will legit push me to the ground for wearing anywhere except my room. Only way I can use it is for costumes, when I'm at 1 of my friends houses where they don't care, and on my backpack in school. Thank you for existing!

LOVE your vids Thorn! I'm so happy I found your channel, it’s great watching one of the most well-known therians on RU-vid :D You make AMAZING and very relatable and informative videos, I love watching because it’s not only fun, but also educational in a way

Something that I’ve always struggled with as far as gear goes is finding some of my theriotype. I have a ringtailed cat theriotype, and finding gear for it is a nightmare. Because ringtailed cats lived in caves with miners, I’ve always found myself liking small but high places, so I got a loft bed. I like shiny objects, so I’ve been collecting crystals and other little trinkets that I like. Of course, as this video also states, gear doesn’t have to be directly linked to your theriotype, the purpose of gear is to connect you to your theriotype. Thank you so much thorn for being the clarification guide for this community.

One huge one you missed, is clay sculptures and art dolls. I think it's great to have that kind of stuff because you can put the art doll into any pose you want and let your wild side run wild as you sculpt an animal of your own!

I’m so happy I just ordered loads of gear and it should arrive in 1-3 weeks!

I'm animalhearted! I love to wear gear to connect to my heart-types! It's great fun to make anything as a crafty person xD

I've made a few paintings on my therianthropy, and my masks hyperinflation has now evolved past my therianthropy lol. But other stuff you can get/make are stickers, calendars, posters, or decor too make you feel like you're in your habitat. I have ivy strands and mushroom lanterns above me bed ❤❤

I have this like wolf dreamcatcher and it's really cool! It has some fur on it and it's comforting to look at ^^

Guys! most of you know, but spread this to people who doesnt!! On November 27th its Therian/alterhuman day, so all therians can wear gear, masks, etc and do quads/vocals outside! also wear feathers to recognise each other

My favorite piece if gear that I own are my elf ear earbuds. They’re really cool and comfortable to wear!

Im a rise!Mikey fictionkin 🧡🐢 some gear i usually wear is an orange headband, a kandi bracelet with my name, keychains, clothes, and sometimes i wear a kind of makeup to feel more connected! This video gave more ideas for gear!! Thanks ^^

If you're a therian w/ braces, you can also shape some of the wax you put on the pokey parts to make fangs of your theriotype has them!

November 27th is the full moon! So get out there with whatever gear you have, do vocals, try to meet other Alterhumans, etc!

Thorn is one of my favorite therian youtubers they makes therianthropy seem so professional but so fun as well.they make me feel WAY better about being a therian. (:

If you can’t buy stuff, (like me) cut up a socks that are the colour of your theriotype into fingerless gloves. Then, draw paws or whatever your theriotype has on there hands (scales, claws fins etc.)

Can you do a video based on ferret/weasel therians or uncommon theriotypes?

(I recommend making a claw of ur theriotype out of clay and putting it on a ring!)Thorn thank you so much for bringing me euphoria I hope u see this☆

Thank you for this!!! ❤❤❤ I came up with some ideas but this will really help.

I'm fictionkin and I have lots of gear -I have plushes of characters who are my kintype or my canonmates -i have shirts my kintype wears in cannon -I have clothes that are similar to my kintyopes -owning DVDs of the shows my kintype is in -blankets that make me feel connected to my kinype or canon

Im new to your channel, was recommended by a friend, havent watched the video but ik im ganna love it! Also im a new therian :)

i'm a therian/otherkin(dragonkin?) and my therio/kintypes are rosevine drake (a type of wingless, flightless dragon), moonlight wyvern, red fox, nile crocodile, and white-tailed deer, and some of my favorite things to do are look online for pictures to use for reference to draw my therio/kintypes in various poses, hoard rocks and other shiny things (i especially love rings and geodes/crystals for some reason), sit under trees (especially willow trees) and read/do quads during summer, and swim around, i can even kind of do a death roll! i also am working on getting croc skin accessories and perhaps antler headbands! love your vids btw!! you're a huge inspiration to me and you're honestly the reason i found my identity in the first place :)

You don’t need to get a cat mask for a base! You can grab some cardboard and make a mask. If you don’t have something to put around your head to wear it you can make a strap out of cardboard. Also for the fur you could grab a pompom and rip it up and glue it on your mask.Hope this helps with anyone! This is what I did for myself :)

I've literally been thinking, I want to get more types of gear, and now this video comes out! Thanks!

hi! cat therian here and i have something for us: fuzzy cat paw socks! i have multiple pairs of these: two calico, a gray striped one, orange, and black and all of them have toe beans and look like cat paws. they’re very euphoric!

Hi! I just wanted to say how mutch you’ve helped me from finding out I’m a therian and now I’ve FINALY started my own Chanel and I just wanted to say thank you so mutch !

im having species dysphoria right now, so thank u for the video on what i could do to feel morelike my theriotypes

You can also make snacks that r like ur theriotype diet idk if it would be considered gear but ye

So happy that you’re posting again!

Thank you so much Thorn! I am making a gift for my therian friend and this is so useful!

My room: EVERY SQUARE INCH COVERED IN CATS My theriotype that i found through meditation: Brown tabby cat

I'm a fictionkin, so most of my gear is just stuff I can pass off as cosplay I also have this jacket that looks like the jacket of my top kintype, and I've dyed my hair the colour that like half my kintypes have (silver/grey)

I just got a necklace a day ago with a paw print on it! Its my first ever Therian gear, and im wearing it everywhere!

I’ve been questioning if im a therian. I often have dream shifts. Today I really out of nowhere wanted to run outside and in a forest so insanely bad I couldn’t even focus. I also during the shift felt like I had ears on my head but there wasn’t anything there. Idk, regardless even if I’m not I fully support all therians!

collecting things in nature helps me (make sure the item u are collecting isn't dangerous or endangered)

Origami is one of the ones I like! Lil paper cats✨✨✨

thanks for making this video because i been wanting to try to find some cool gear i could buy for my christmas and my birthday to help me feel connected to my theriotype also i just want to say i love your collar i am thinking about getting my own and putting a keychain or a charm on it

Something that should be made for therians if ears but ones that twitch, I always feel like my invisible era are constantly twitching,

Seeing Thorn in gear is so surreal to me

I really want to make leaves of a Willow tree, cause I'm a Willow tree plantkin! Kinda like a bracelet and a choker!

As an ADHD alterhuman, I can't recommend chewelry enough! Baby teethers also make fantastic chew toys and come in a greater variety of textures.

The moment you are at work and missing your other half, then to come here and watch a video just makes the day easier. Love the video ♥I notice how the voice really dropped. hearing you every day doesnt make it easy to notice but goddamn I love it haha

Heres some therian gear you Can have : Leg warmers, fluffy pajamas, stuff with fur, fluffy clothes, etc. Games, movies, Series, etc that feature People who shapeshift or identify as animals in some Way or just show Your theriotype often. (Like how to train Your dragon for dragons, and wolfwalkers for wolves, Nemo for fish (Specifically clown fish), etc.) Drawing in general. Theres a Lotta stuff that isnt exactly related to Your theriotype but it Can be,

omg tysm for this, it was really helpful for me & hopefully many others

Thank you so much for your educational and entertaining videos!!!!🎉 I am 9 years old and newly awakened.

I'm so happy! My first mask can arrive any minute now!

As a therian who goes to middle school I get chewing urges so I chew on my hoodie strings and no one notices I would recommend that too c:

Ty! Im an otherkin and this helped!!❤

I believe I have all of these items that are lion themed, which makes sense, because I have collected all lion items my entire life, and only found out I was a therian about 3 years ago, but I have all this gear already! :3

I've been waiting for this video

I made some glove gear, I got glued paws on the top, and because I do quadrobotics I put some makeshift grippers on the top so I won’t slip, 10/10 would recommend.(if you wanna see what they look like and the process of making it I made a short in my channel)

5:14 as a dragon therian, I love crystals!

Not a therian but lynx-hearted, I've noticed certain fabrics make me want to knead, so having soft fabrics help me connect, or even touching things that draw my attention

I’ve made non slip gloves for quads as most of my house is hard wood,I’ve also seen some therians wear service dog vests

EARLYYY BTW LOVE UR VIDS THORN

Im otherhearted not otherkin or therian, but mt hearttype is a stingray which is hard to find jewelry or gear of. I’d love to get a necklace or a bracelet depicting a stingray. i have a plushie of a stingray that i’ve had since i was very little and i often make stingray art

You can also diy therian necklaces and wear it if you want❤❤❤

4:23 I have that fish plush!

something that i do all the time is getting clay (of any kind, i use air dry though) and putting the print of one of my theriotypes in it (not actually, just carving out a paw/claw print) and it turns out very nice also: rainbow loom bracelets are amazing for chewing on. specifically fishtail and monster tail, they hold up very nicely these are just work for me though ^^

Your videos help a lot

Totally agree!

This video helped me!

1:18 yesss this is really true! I'm not a therian but I get phantom tails alot so I wear a tail.

Your ears are STUNNING! I will definitely be looking up a tutorial as I am a black cat therian! I do have a question about therianthropy though; how can you find out if you have more than one theriotype? I have been questioning a wolf but I am not completely sure. If you have some advice I would be really thankful!

My kin types: Raccoon Crow Red Fox Calico cat Gear: Necklace Tail Mask Poster with different types of animal paw prints Phone case Wood with cat carved into it . Bones

I love tour content keep up the work!!

Not all therians are able to get common gear.maybe because of money issues or just parental issues. im trying to convince my parents to get me a tail. Btw,I’ll be honest. This really helped me out! Although I’ll not be able to get ALL of therian gear,I’m grateful whit what I will get.

Instead of vulture culture/bones/taxidermy to relieve those predatory urges, I pounce on and bite my stuffed animals and drag them to my “den” (I pick a certain place or furnishing to be some kinda den/resting area during shifts). It’s not the same, but I like it!

I love how I was watching this, and decorating my mask that just came in

This is amazing and I’m watching this in my closet

I love your into :3 it’s so cool

Okay before i watch- i just wanna say, i currently have a REAL wolf tooth necklace coming! :DDD i am very excited and it should be arriving tomorrow! Im hopeful this will help strengthen my connection to my theriotype (i also ordered a black wolf tail but tbh im more excited for the necklace)

I have this MASSIVE pair of dragon wings i used for halloween once, they open and close with strings. I don't really use them, so it just takes up space.

This is the most calmest comment section ever 😭

I did not know about the chew toy thing! Thank you for saying that, no idea what I have been doing to my poor jaw and teeth than.

3:42 i have a shirt that says im really a goose but ive never thought of it as something therians can wear

Story time! Me:*Gets a shift* (6 MINUTES LATER) *Shift ends* Me:*Forgets where I am* *NEGATIVE SHIFT TRIGGER*

Fish Therians/alterhumans, please answer this question that I’ve had for so, so, so long. What does a phantom shift feel like? And where do you feel the phantom limbs? *if you get shifts of course*

Some of my personal favorite gear includes a necklace with a coyote tooth, and my “dragon treasure hoard” which is just a collection of random things like crystals and jewelry

Cool you have Dutch books (im Dutch too)

Hey!! Please, anyone, read more if you are interested in helping out a questioning therian. I have been questioning for about a few weeks in general now. There was one time period where I said I was a therian but now I’m not sure as I think it was/is a hyper fixation. Of course, the worst that happens is I think I’m a therian and I have to clear it up and stop calling myself one. I’m not afraid of being wrong, more just offending real therians. Some things that I do that aren’t I timely a human thing or so I’ve heard, are.. Involuntary kneading, like a cat. Even behavior like one, sometimes I feel very social and then pull away greatly and get upset when I’m forced into interaction. (I relate this to a cat rather than a normal human thing because it’s to the point where I sometimes feel like I’m having a mental breakdown with social interactions, which isn’t human from what I would consider.) Vocals and quads. I know this doesn’t make you a therian but the movements and noises feel natural to me, like I instinctively know how to mimic the noises and how to move as if I were a wolf or cat. (I didn’t originally think I was a cat therian but now that I’m going through the non human behaviors I’m recognizing the similarities) I kind of “grew out of it” because it would get me in trouble but I always used to growl and snarl like an animal, idk or remember of it was involuntary or not but now I guess I kind of still do it. It sounds like a quiet cough but that may be connected. I feel like I may be a long haired cat, as I seem to be extremely sensitive to heat but barely to cold. I don’t really say I’m a therian because of the fear of offending or getting information wrong. Alterhuman seems like a more including term for what I experience. I’m not sure if I would entirely identify as a full animal (non physically at least.) maybe partially though. The theriotypes I suspect are Timberwolf, sugarglider, or some sort of cat. Thank you so much if you try to help out or give me advice! For now I will just call myself “a questioning Alterhuman.”

I love your channel and I can relate to a lot of your vids! ❤❤❤ I am a leopard therian! 😊😊😊

I realised so much I subconsciously do bc of this 😃🐺😃
