@@NamiSt4rthey are. People who say that usually mean that they they want to sexually get with them. because they look “sexy” in gear. I used to post that stuff and that happend to me a lot.
9:54 I have been in deep depression because I keep finding out different mental shifts caught on camera but different mental shifts of my therianthropye types that I haven’t found out yet so I’ve been stress so much I just gave up and taking a break of posting for right now
Hiii!! I’m not a therian but I used to think I was, I was having trouble and started to think I actually wasn’t and I watched one of your videos to see if I was or not, it educated me if a lot more stuff and I realised I don’t have enough of the connections to actually be a therian, otherkin, or otherhearted, but I still think they are so cool, even if I’m kinda sad that I’m not an alterhuman I’m still glad I actually figured it out , I am a quadrobist though! Even though I suck at it, I’m so excited to make gear aswell!
I'm sure Therians are not a new thing, but what is new is the acceptance to new things that society has gottwn better at. Therians are hated a lot though, but it is eaiser for communities to be formed now. And with all new things, it will take a while to work out the kinks. This will all work itself out as we get used to living the way we are.
5:00 Honestly, TikToks and RU-vid shorts have helped me feel more comfortable with my alter human identity, but it also has made me feel like what I experience isn’t truly Therianthopy because I don’t all of a sudden shift and act like a rabbit or an owl so it’s very validating to here you say that shifts are not just behavioural and can actually be a lot more subtle, like how you feel internally or how you view things. This channel is always great to go to when I need that reassurance that even if my experiences are different I am still alter human. (Also my friends, but this is a great outside of friend group comfort)
Tbh same I don’t really have any other shifts besides phantom yes I do have other shifts sometimes but 90% of the time if im having a shift it’s a phantom shift
UR FERRET SNIFFING THE CAMERA AT THE START WAS SO FREAKING ADORABLEEEEE IDK WHY I JUST FIND IT SO CUTE WHEN ANIMALS SNIFF CAMERAS OR PUT THEM NEAR THEIR FACE
4:48 I would never actually share my shifts online. This is a very personal experience to me and even if I accidentally "caught" a shift on camera, I would delete the video or keep it to myself. Idk, it's just how I feel about it. It's also sad how many alterhumans (expecially kids) are recording their "shifts", which are actually pretending to be an animal. I'm not saying that all thouse "Caught on camera" shifts are fake, but it feels like a trend rather than sharing one's experience.
13:06 as somebody officially diagnosed with ptsd, i really hate social media's overuse of the term 'trigger'. It was originally coined in psychology for describing potential causes of ptsd flashbacks and it makes me feel really uncomfortable when people say that some mild inconvenience is so 'triggering' for them. Like i get that everybody's emotions and experiences are unique and some people may feel things more deeply than others, but its really lost the emphasis it once had and in my opinion needs. I think the term 'content warning' is more applicable for non traumatic discussion that may still cause unease for some people, but thats just my take.
Most people thinking I act like an animal 24/7 and wear gear 24/7: Me in an oversized axolotl onesie under my loft bed making a cardboard mushroom: >:3
11:50 Saying “I need a therian girlfriend” isn’t okay. That’s sexualizing the cat-like stretches and quads that some Therians do, It’s used to make doing quadrobics or being a Therian sexual.
14:36 yeah and then people DON’T put trigger warnings on videos that are ACTUALLY triggering!! I came across one video where a pin like this 📍 was put straight into someone’s head, there was no trigger warning whatsoever, and being a person with an EXTREME phobia of needles, I found it really triggering and I was disappointed that they did not put a trigger warning in the video. :(
14:12 when thorn starts talking about shifts right here it reminded me of a time I had a shift, I was watching tv (a wildlife documentary), and I had a urge to rub on my back and jump around my bed as if I was in a pile of grass. I thought like “I wanna do this so bad but I’m in a cozy position..” at the end I gave up and just went free which in return felt good. Sorry if I typed it in a weird way, I don’t know how to explain how my shifts feel-
wait thats a shift? NO DAMN WAY :0 I THOUGHT I WAS A NONSHIFTING I DIDNT KNOW SHIFTS ARE JUST LIKE URGES TO DO STUFF AND FEELING MORE LIKE UR THERIOTYPE
@@vanillauwu1844 i thought I didn’t have shifts taht often lol. That happens a lot. Like in the mournings a stretch like a cat nomatter what. (Ima cheetah therian) Or I instinctively when I fall or smth (this might just be reflex from quad jumps though) I always make that paw shape for quads lol
@@Kaylie-w5d Those sound normal to me, not like shifts. If you've made the paw shape before learning about therians and quads and you've been doing the cat stretch before learning about therians then it sounds like one
I love seeing parents support there child as being a therian it really makes my day! :D my mom supports me in a way and my dad is just kinda neutral about it 😅 🎉❤
this is some more information on the 'I need a therian girlfriend' comment. Just to be clear, 'I need a therian girlfriend' is NOT a compliment and it's made to 𝙨3𝙭𝙪𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙚 therians who do quads and cat-like stretches. Thankfully this comment has become less of a trend over time but if you ever get this comment on one of your videos or someone else's video just ignore it and don't give it attention (or if it's on one of your videos you can delete the comment) I'd recommend reporting those comments I hope this helps ❤
In regards to the short with the super supportive parent, I may not have a relationship with either of mine, but my boss asked me what therians are because her daughter said that she's one. I explained, and she was chill with it. I love seeing parents supporting their kids!
21:09 does she not have anything better to do lmao Honestly glad I came across your videos because awhile ago i did not know a single thing about therianthropy. It's very interesting to learn about what this stuff is because it also helped me discover I'm otherkin(TechKin and SpaceKin) (but i am also fictionkin)
I may not be a therian, but I love your videos, and it's led me further in understanding how they work and common word use around other therians, and I'm working on my own mask as of now for outside activity. I support all of you, no matter how difficult or different it may be!😊
For a little while I thought I may be a therian, and tbh I'm still trying to figure it out, but I think I need to get out into the open first to find out who I am❤
luhhhckkyyy I am one of 5 open therians I'd not mind hanging out with (in my grade) expect I have a really bad history with most of them so they'd never prob hang oht in that big of a group I'm going to sky zone today to do quads w/ A therian that likes me😋😁
Your ferret is so cute❤️ Personally, I don't like what happend to therian RU-vid. Now it's (nearly) only masks and quadrobics shorts... It's hard to find anything educational and misconceptions are everywere. Back then, PD and Therian Nation were pretty famous I think, but now sadly it changed:( I'm so glad that your channel exist, the community needs members like You!
I love how you explain your ideas whithout hurt nobody. You made me think more on things, be more open. I would like to share my ideologies too but I don't even know to socialize with real people...
I have recently been realizing the small therian-like things that I have done over my life and have been questioning if I am a therian. I know that gear and quads dont make you a therian but I have also found a love for that, as I love to cosplay. But I have been doing lots of research on therianthropy to see if I am considered a therian. These videos really help and I love how you always explain things and share your thoughts on each video. The shift tiger warnings confused me a lot, so this seriously helped. Please keep making more of these videos ❤
ive had one shift, and it was INCREDIBLY similar to my involuntary regression. i dont even know how to describe the difference, both were domestic, but one was just more of a domestic animal itself. it was with my girlfriend so i just "let it happen" as you said?
I'm still trying to find therian friends around me without coming out as a therian to everyone and its hard because I made a friend but she lives all the way in Australia I'm in north AMERICA!
For me, I’m not a therian my best friend is but anytime someone says it like that “I need a therian gf” it kinda sounds like they are fetishizing this, like a few ppl say the same thing about littles (people who age regress) and I have a few friends who age regress and it makes me so mad how people fetishized these things
I literally don’t look like I’m shifting when I do. It’s literally just a slightly different way of thinking about my surroundings but just like any thought I have self control and don’t have to act on it. You literally can’t tell the difference. I’ve had mental shifts in school and continued to have human behavior. Note: I am not a therian I’m other-hearted
12:00 "I need a therian girlfriend" is sexualizing therians bc some ppl see quads as a inappropriate spot bc of the cat stretchs and walking on all 4s so if u see that comment delete it and report them!
When people talk about pronouns of therians they confuse me so much. Like when Brett Cooper was talking about, they have Wolf-them, Wolf-self pronouns She does realize that even wolves or any animals for that matter have pronouns too, right!? So it would still be he-him, she-her, or non-binary. Sometimes I feel like people try to take this too far. 😅
YOUURRR FEERRREETT I WANT HIIIIMMM Also 18:07 personally I experience my Therianthropy by like getting visual shifts of my theriotypes running/flying with my car through a long road trip normally with trees along the side:) My theriotypes are Fox, maned wolf, Canadian lynx, and bat :)
5:53 yesssssss I thought for so long that I didn't shift at all because I thought a shift was when you just suddenly completely became your theriotype mentally. Now i realize i actually shift much more often than i thought!
