Reposted by Zuri ΘΔSusitar @susitar.bsky.social · 11/09/2026In a way, I think animation on top of filmed video would be the best way to visually represent therianthropy. Animation could show the viewer phantom limbs, for instance. Or create a visual for that tingle in my spine I feel before strong mental shifts. 191

Reposted by Zuri ΘΔSusitar @susitar.bsky.social · 15/08/2026I think there's something a bit worrying that things that used to be normal parts of play for children under 12: playing that you're an animal, having a bond with a stuffed animal, dressing up with home-made accessories, are now increasingly labelled. Often with words from psychology or subcultures. 061

Zuri ΘΔ @therian.blog · 02/08/2026Therianthropy is an umbrella term for a wide range of experiences. Just because you're a therian, and experience something in a specific way, doesn't mean all therians experience it the same way. And neither is any more or less #therian. It's just different variations of what we call therianthropy. 170

Reposted by Zuri ΘΔCheetah Spottycat @cheetah-spottycat.bsky.social · 13/07/2026It's fascinating how furries believe that harassment and bullying are totally acceptable, as long as you only apply it to "bad guys". And since you can freely choose who to label "good" or "bad", you've just created yourself a universal excuse that morally justifies whatever the hell you want. 0246
Zuri ΘΔ @therian.blog · 01/07/2026This may be an unpopular opinion (I'm not sure), but: It strikes me as odd how often I see posts about therianthropy going in a direction of equating being a non-human animal with total freedom and lack of any obligations. Following an anthropomorphized "nature = freedom" fallacy, so to speak. 1/3 3113

Zuri ΘΔ @therian.blog · 24/06/2026As someone who originally comes from a different field (engineering / IT), it's quite fascinating to see how much and how little we know about the phylogeny of life at the same time.
