As a therian. I was quite scared when I first clicked on the video at first. But I’m glad it wasn’t one of the hateful documentaries. In fact it’s quite good if you want to show someone the video to explain how people feel about alterhumanity
Well that changed my entire perspective, I thought, idk, they were always acting like animals, on all fours, looking weird but they’re just wholesome and enjoying themself, thanks for this video, I would have never known that some Otherkins/Therian aren’t just running around everywhere, climbing trees and growling, they’re actually really chill and fun!
Don't call them otherkin/therians... they're human beings that enjoy pretending to act like animals. And that's fine... but it's not their identity and it doesn't make them any more or less human than they already are.
@@Peacefulpreface6323 otherkin/therians know they're human! It's just the fact they feel non human on the inside, usually caused by neurodivergence but some people identify as that due to spiritual beliefs, otherkin/therians identify as humans and animals as they can't change the fact they are a human and yes you're right, at least physically they can't be more or less human but psychologically it's different
@Cyber Wolf no they're not. No human knows how it feels to be another animal. It's ridiculous and clearly the symptoms of deep seated issues that you're brushing off as an identity. It's insulting to trans people and the troubled young people you're pandering to.
They’re just vibing, I don’t understand the hate otherkin get. I may not be one myself, but I don’t judge. Y’all just be your authentic selves and be happy with life
@@dongenove3048 huh it's not like unsupportive families still end up with kids like that and I guess you haven't seen the many otherkin who are in relationships...
I am an otherkin, and getting action is not a problem for me at all... There are different degrees of being otherkin. Compared to the people featured in this film, I am a lot more like an average person lol
I'm not otherkin, but I think it's really interesting to know other people feel this way. I don't know why you all get so much hate, I guess people don't know how to deal with the confusion they feel when they see humans acting like animals. You guys should be able to do your own thing in peace, just as long as you're not harming or shaming anybody else. Keep being yourselves! :)
@@Talis1717 I understand that they are human, not a fucking animal. Thats 100% no doubt confirmed. They have some serious mental disorder. They need help, not acceptance
@@ophelia5656 I'm lucky that my friends love me no matter what. There are a lot of online communities for therian, i myself am part of a pack (mainly online since there are people from many countries) but thats a good way to do it. But like anything online BE SAFE! You have no idea who you're talking to so use caution.
5:10 not gonna lie,i´m no therian/otherkin by myself, but this is kinda wholesome. Keep ur thing going therians/otherkins, it looks like it makes u happy and like watching souls beinng happy :)
I'm with you! I think if you feel the need to make fun of these people and talk like you're better than them, you're just a weak and unhappy person. It's their way of connecting with nature and themselves. What's so bad about that? Let them express themselves however they feel comfortable doing.
Lycanthropy: the supernatural transformation of a person into a wolf, as recounted in folk tales. Therianthropy: Therians, or therianthropes, are people who identify, in some intrinsic way, as an animal that exists or has existed on earth. Some believe that their soul is that of an animal while others believe the cause of their animal identity is psychological.
@@moss7837 As an Evolutionary-Bio nerd I'd love to hear their very scientific psychological explanations. I'm cool with people claiming they have some spititual thing going on, or that they use it as an escape, but pushing pseudo-science is another thing entirely.
IThere are so many different people in this world. This is way more positive than people drinking, yelling in the streets & punching eatchother seriously
As a therian, many people hate us because they are not use to us. When someone is different, people express hate towards them for no reason other than "I don't like what you're doing so stop".. No one is here to please ANYONE but themselves. Who are you to judge me, when you are still finding yourself? Who are you to tell me what to wear, think, speak, and be as a whole when you are the one who doesn't even know self-love? We are spiritual beings, and we are beautiful. We are us, and that's all that matters. Don't get mad that we aren't giving you the negative response you'd like, because you want other people to feel the negativity you feel. "Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that". To the person reading this: You are beautiful, and unique. No one laughs, smiles, looks, acts, and speaks the way you do. You are you, and thats what makes you so beautiful.
@% R E E S E % some people do it, it seems to be more common and younger members of the community people typically around the ages of 11 to 15. To each their own honestly. at one point I used to do it but then realized that these creatures to be other candidates identifying as them not with them and the fact that if your theriotype can talk to you or is a separate entity and you don't really see them as you like you aren't them and they aren't you then it's typically more likely to be a spirit guide. I personally don't name my theriotypes as I am my theriotypes, and to elaborate I have seen older people also do it I've just found it to be more common in the younger generation of therians i feel like it's a generally newer concept
I'm a therian myself and I just think this video and especially the comment section is just awsome. I've see therians and otherkin post things on redit and then get overthrown with all the hate comments, but I'm just so glad there are still so many openminded and nice people out there.
@@Smoke.stardust I do that quite a lot actually :D I have a small forest near where I live within walk distance, it's so relaxing just enjoying myself in nature, you should really try it some time!
I’m so happy to see positivity and acceptance towards us! I used to be against otherkin just out of pure unknowing what we truly are, but about a year ago, i found out I was a catkin for the first time and I just understood us therians and otherkins and accept my identify and who I truly am! I’m also a vampirekin so it’s quite hard having two identities but I’m glad to be accepted and supported!
I think i'm a vampirekin too! hey! glad you overcame that self hatred :] i never truly hated or thought otherkin was cringe, just thought it was strange when i found out about it... welp. in a few years i will become a therapist and yeah... I'm glad I don't think otherkin are "weird" anymore. i... think i found out i was vampirekin today? but maybe i'm not? i don't know? I just... have an incredibly autistic-painted mind, as i like to say (I'm aspec, not an allistic trying to appropriate anything) how did you found out you were vampirekin though? are you on amino or another communities aswell? (would u mind to recommend some? 👉👈) did you find that out after or before the catkin thing? sorry for all the questions, i just don't know anyone from the kinmunity and have no idea where to start hahah...
You're not catkin or vampire kin. You like cats and vampires. And that's great. Use that passion to give something back to society instead of trying to mask the fact your life is so empty that you have to pretend to be something you're not. Go to a children's hospice dressed as a cat or a vampire and tell stories to kids about those things, make them laugh and smile instead of sitting on your computer in your basement pretending that you're above being a human.
@@notdead5837 red foxes can become up to 15 years, anyway this person knows they're a human physically and you're clearly undereducated so why bother hating on something you barely know anything about
I’m not otherkin, (anymore.. long story, scroll down to the other section to see that story.) but they do look really happy, being themselves and how like… free, they can feel. I mean, sure. It’s definitely cringy, but it’s opinion. If they feel uncomfortable in a body and feel to be animal, it may be a little cringy, but it’s how they feel inside, and you can’t judge them of that. It’s just how they are inside, they feel trapped in a wrong species, and their soul is being let free. They’re still living, breathing, souls with emotion. They’re just being them. So.. how I was an "other-kin" at one point story. When I was little, I was raised with cats and had emotional connection with them, I grew attached and truly believed that I had the soul of a cat. I saw Better in the dark, and I could hear just a bit better than usual, but that was just a dumb little kid I was. I generally thought I was other-Kim, as if I was a cat inside. I thought cleaning yourself by paw was a good thing to me, healthy. I felt as if I was feline and became uncomfortable with my body. Over the years, I thought how stupid it was to think i was other-kin. My love for cats started to fade, I mean, I was young, it was an obvious obsession. Now I just believe that feline acts are ok, I’m just not comfortable with it. I find the whole "all fours" thing cringy, but it’s who some people believe they are. I don’t feel AS feline, I just share an emotional connection nowadays. I found that I just really care for felines. I found it stupid and was somewhat harsh on myself of being other kin, but it helped. I’m not saying to do it, but it helped me somewhat realize that I might actually not be other-kin. That’s all lol
The whole “Sometimes tensions rise between members of the pack, wolves tend to resolve conflict by fighting.” Part was kinda funny to me. The ‘fight’ looked very playful, like dogs when they play with each other, and it’s fortunate this is said later on - but the first part is kinda funny on its own lol
We absolutely do that!! I'm foxkin and playfighting is one of my favorite things ever, I used to do it with my friends when we had fights and then we would all apologize later. It's a really healthy way to get feelings out without actually hurting each other.
As someone who isn't otherkin/theiran I think that these people are super cool. Like their just people (or animals) being themselves and having a good time. Like I have friends who are otherkin/therian and their really cool people!
I think it's odd how some of these people talk about their stereotypes as if it's not them, therianthropy started as an identification as non-human you are your theriotypes to some degree, they cannot act independently from you as they are your identity, if your theriotypes talk to you give you advice and wisdom etc then it is probably a spirit guide
Well guess some of the reasons for that are, that as a Therian you not always reffer to yourself as just your theriotype. You get raised as a human, nothing else, so you always compare that to "that creature of yours that is non-human". Also for Polytherians with multiple theriotypes I feel like you rather seperate that a bit from simply being "you", because you already have to differenciate between the theriotypes. But in the end it alsways YOURSELVE, its not something that is seperated from what is YOU, even if it might sound a bit like that. At least that is my view on things as a Polytherian.
PD (PinkDolphin) made a video of dissociative therianthropy which could explain why some therians talk about theriotypes in 3rd person. It's his most recent video of the definition of therianthropy.
I’m not an other kin but this is really cool. I like to pretend I’m a grey fox and play fight and chase each other in the house, so I like to pretend what if I was a other-kin. In other words this is interesting and cool to me I like how everyone is having fun and running around. :)
@jjay43 AJPW & other videos! but I am a human. They are also humans. They have mental issues. Literally look at all of them. They all look weird and ugly and unhealthy. Explain to me why there is not one normal looking person among them?
@@ifacecamp717 screw off. I am an elf otherkin, I wear jewelry, read LOTR, speak Sylvan, and wear ekfears, and is considering plastic surgery These people are my kin. My brothers. My sisters. We are among your society, whether people like you like it or not.
Ahh i miss my pack so much💔 i was the alpha of my pack and since i moved my pack faded away from eachother. They all said they where not strong enough to be alpha and continue the pack sadly. If any therians are in california plz contact me X))))🐺
I'm not therian or otherkin, but I really support them =) I can see how they feel like themselves and how happy they are ^^ Never stop being yourself !
being otherkin in a small town its hard and the internet doesn't really help but at my school I found a small group of otherkins and its really fun also WHERE MY OTHERKINS AT!!
Aw, this is nice. I’m not even an otherkin, but I always enjoy seeing a group in a positive light after getting so much blind hate. People just can never get past the idea that people enjoy different things.
"blind hate" Maybe if they didn't ridicule the LGBTQ+ community by creating flags and saying they have "species dysphoria" they wouldn't be getting that much hate. You shouldn't encourage this behavior. It's harmful to them and to other people, and an unhealthy way to cope with something. Seeing a therapist may do.
@@DavideCosmaro It's not to ridicule the LGBTQ+ community, species dysphoria is a real thing! Maybe it's psychological, maybe a therapy could help (not like there were any specialists on that topic as for now), but that doesn't make it less real and less of a problem to people like me experiencing it. So yeah, to just assume that it's JUST to mock queer people, 'cause you simply couldn't imagine that some people probably might feel discomfort in the creature they were born with but can't identify as, I would call that "blind hate".
I figured out I was a therian because first of all I have loved wolves since I was a child, I do weird things a lot where I rub up against people, and my father has (as funny as it is) threatened to lock me in the garage like a dog.
I have a girl in my class at school she is really kinda and caring I’m pretty sure she’s an other kin she loves dragons and werewolves and Ye made these werewolf ears, but... lots of people in the class and school bully her, yet the teachers don’t do much about it, the kids they call her a bunny an make her so upset sometimes but she’s also good at blocking out what they say
i wish i was able to express this side of me when i was younger but i wasn't so now im just left with an insane amount of chaotic dumb "kinnie" energy as a young adult lmao x
I’m a leopard therian and tbh after figuring it out it’s the most myself I have ever felt! Honey was an indochinese leopard past life (I named her that lol), and tbh I miss the freedom and lack of stress. It just brings me joy and happiness to let the leopard out!
@cyberwolf8808 except yourself when your dad walks in and you cant help but notice the look of utter distaste and disdain as he watches him hier plummeting down a never ending spiral staircase of degeneracy
I don’t identify as human but I have no idea what I do identify as. These people are awesome and it must be so nice to be part of a community like that! I wish all these guys the best and I hate that they get so much backlash for being themselves.
You could also be another type of alterhuman! :) Such as schrodihuman (identifying as human but also not) or voidpunk. And if none of it fits, consider coining a term ^^
I'm a therian and although I'm not very out there, I do express myself lots. So a lot of what's shown here about a more wild habitat doesn't really suit me but I think it's plain wonderful. I was scared at first with seeing "otherkin cringe" at the top of the search, but I'm glad we have some things like this out there about us. Keep it coming, please! (I'm a very docile kitty myself.)
omg my old pack (Shasta pack) is in this while I was in the pack how did I not know about this! One of my wolf plushies is named after Talis, ah they were such good friends but left because I preferred not to be in a pack
Warning: this comment will be long -- Hi there, as an active member of the otherkin and therian community I'm here to critisize your video. I'm here to correct the mistakes made (often by misinformation, bad research and misconceptions), to give opinion and generally reflect this video. Not to be rude, nor because I feel attacked. Lemme start watching 0:02 oh a documentary! That means you did your research well, right? Should be interesting then. 0:18 "connection to dragons", this girl is actually known to be a with/pagan/wiccan-anything alike on youtube and isn't really a therian youtuber. While some therians/otherkin do feel a connection to an animal. A connection to an animal doesn't automaticly make one a therian. It's not about a connection. Example: I have hated dolphins all my life (but now respect them after research) 0:21 side note: she's a lot older now and a mother of one or two kids 0:25 taking a cringecomplication as an otherkin example.. I do not count that as valid or serious information or source. 0:38 same case, tho he words otherkinity a bit more correct 1:00 why does no one ever leave her alone? She has already made a second video about that she does not identify the same way anymore. She was suffering from clinical lycanthropy, actually believing one is an animal, physically an animal or can turn into one. clinical lycanthropy is a serious mental illness and not the same as theriantropy/otherkinity (where one at all times know they're 100% physically human) 1:06 STOP RIGHT THERE, 'otherkin/therian are people who believe they posess the soul of an animal', you better do your research better next time as this is plainly incorrect. Having a soul of an animal does not make one a therian. DEFINITIONS: therianthropy: the identity where one identifies as a non-human, earthen animal on a non-physical level (recognizing at all times they're human) A therian: someone identifying as a non-human, earthen animal on a non-physical level (recognizing at all times they're human) Otherkinity as an umbrella term: the identity where one identifies as a non-human being on a non-physical level (recognizing at all times they're human) Otherkinity as a subterm: the identity where one identifies as a non-human, non-earthen being specifily on a non-physical level (recognizing at all times they're human) An otherkin: someone identifying as a non-human, non-earthen animal specificly on a non-physical level (recognizing at all times they're human) In short: therian identify as animals (cat, dog, fish,..), otherkin identify as non-earthen beings (dragons, unicorns, ..), otherkin (non-specific) is an umbrella term for both therian and otherkin. By that all therians are otherkin, but not all otherkin are therians. One does not need a past life, soul, connection or anything alike to be otherkin/therian. They only have to identify as non-human. Otherway around, those things do not make one otherkin/therian unless they also identify as non-human. around 1:30 she could well be a therian/otherkin, who identifies as those beings and beliefs it's caused by having such souls. in terminology this would make her a spiritual therian (experiencing spiritual therianthropy) as her non-human identity is caused by something spiritual. What bothers me: she refers to her kintypes (animals she identifies as) as a seperated being with an own name and gender.. 1. how can a wolf be called snow? Official research has proven that animals do not name eachother, wolfs and such 'name' other wolfs etc by recognizing their outlooks and smell. The only animal found to 'name' by created a specific sound (simular to a specific word) is the dolphin. So a wolf will not give another wolf any other name than a smell (or recognizing outlook) and it would suprise me if smells are called 'snow'. other than that is 'snow' a human sound that no other animal but parrots etc can create or know etc. By that, a wolf cannot form the word snow. even dogs as pet called laika actually only remember 'aia'. so place all dogs called laika in a giant garden and scream "aia!" and they'll all run to you. The only way a wolf could have a human-formed name is by having been a pet in a past life. Kintypes are not seperated being, I am an animal, I am my theriotype and my theriotype is me. (even tho I know I'm human in body). You have to compare it to being transgender. A physical girl might identify (gender identity) as a boy. However their gender (boy) isn't a seperated being from them with a different name, likes, dislikes, personality, .. well a kintype works in the same way.. So I raise my eyebrows. 3:17 interesting, you've taken out a pack, a lot of young therians enjoy to form a group and howl and run around in forests wearing 'therian gear', I also am part of an online pack and organise meets were therian gear like tails is frequently worn and howled as well. Nice to see :) (tho not all therians form packs or enjoy them ofcourse and not all packs are therians, many enjoy to pretend and roleplay instead. Some wolf-like packs might be teen werewolves instead, which is an emo like lifestyle where they do wolf-like activities while not actually identifying as a wolf) the guy at 3:59 should do his research better however. He reffers to his theriotype as a seperated being with an own name, gender an personality. Same case as with 1:30 and what I said about the comparison to transgenders. 4:31 tails, I love tails. However those are impossible to be roadkill or hunt or non-furfarm taxidermy. We got a golden island fox tail and cinnamon fox tail. Golden island foxes are a mix between red fox and arctic fox and one of the most popular furfarm foxes. Arctic and red foxes are in nature enemies and will kill eachother or eachothers pups, they're created by furfarms and do not exist outside of furfarms. Back in ~1960 or so, the last wild golden island fox was seen but those are VERY rare exceptions and a tail would cost you like 200-500$ as they're very rare. The cinnamon fox is a colour mutation of the red fox, created by furfarms and not possible in the wild. Both tails are by this furfarm tails and animals killed for fur.. However I'm not against furfarms (unless they're known for cruelty, like aliexpress/wish and any chinese furfarm) as plastic fake fur tails at the end do way more damage to the world and animal population than furfarm foxes. Furfarm foxes individually suffer. But plastic fake fur tails kill entire populations of fish and forests etc and hurt more general animals at the end. EDIT: after a closer look, the white-like tail could also be a platinum tail, however platinum is also a red fox colour mutation created in furfarms and only possible in furfarms. Non-existing in the wild. 5:26 I would rather call it roleplaying and playfighting, which many theriand including me enjoy, rather than actual fighting etc hha. Wolfs in the wild after all wouldn't fight either as they live in a mom x dad (alpha pair) = kids structure. Alpha-beta-omega is an old research which is proven to be incorrect and false information, alpha-beta-omega structure only exists in captive wolfs (zoo etc). Aka wolfs in the wild will only fight if the kid annoys the parent or if a wolf is in danger by another wolf which is not from their pack. if a therian annoys or angers another therian, serious fights with biting or clawing might happen, but most are able to keep themselves in control. 8:38 as a good point there about being older and 'not needing to go over top anymore' etc, I completely agree with her and share the same experience. I was more 'extreme' in expressing therianthropy at the age of 16 compared to now, at the age of 18. 9:20 'it's just a belief we have', therianthropy is not a belief, it's an identity. it can be caused by believing something or such when you believe it's caused by past lifes or souls by example or given by god or Anything alike. But at it's own, it's not a belief. He's correct tho, many enjoy us being around and I've gotten many positive conversations with non-therians while having a therian meet etc. We do not harm, we have fun and are enjoying ourselves in a friendly and harmless way and then people don't mind us really. There are still exceptions.. but the majority of my experiences with 'outsiders' are positive. -- Despite some general misconceptions and such, I enjoyed this documentary and it was amazingly well filmed and edited. My apologies for the lenght.
Tbh I think people name their theriotypes so it's easier to explain to people, so for example "im called ________ " I don't feel my Theriotypes have names, but I named them just so people could differentiate between them
Hi. I'm Trixie. From the video. My kin types have names that I gave them myself. Also another problem is this. I spent a full day with the crew and did numerous interviews. Sadly they've been cut and at one point I stated that therian/otherkin all tend to have etheir own ways of explaining the community but this one is my way, I even said that many others would probably disagree with me.
Im fictionkin of c!karl jacobs and ever since i was little ive also kinned foxes, mainly the nine tailed fox kitsunes from japan, and im so glad to see people not hating on otherkin and stuff like that, i love the positivity in this comment section and the video!

@@MagicaMadokaUA wait how does fictionkin work? Like how could you think that you were his character and in what way(s)? I can’t imagine it as a past life thing since his character is fictional
@the apocryphite first of all, please refrain from using the word "retarded". It is offensive to compare how people feel about themselves to a mental illness. And however a person chooses to identify should not matter as long as it does not directly effect you or pose a danger. They hurt no one by saying they feel a stronger connection and better identify with non human entities. However if an adult wants to identify as a minor so prey on children, that is where you are allowed to be concerned. I personally dont like them identifying as animals because it's stealing Native American culture but I can't stop them so it's none of my business.
In the back of my school there is a huge forest and there is a group of Othekin and I'm part of that group and I am only 13 and me and my friends own a spot in the woods where we hang out and we play fight a lot, sometimes other kins try and come too are side of are territory and we fight. So they can stay away from are side.
@@wolvesgirl1565 I’d consider using real fur as it kills much more wildlife and nature using fake ones. I get all my furs and bones from roadkill and people who had to kill the animals like local farmers. So they had dies anywho
Your kin type isn't defined by some online test or anything like that finding a can type is about research and learning about how you feel inside, people who are other can do not see themselves as their physical body inside they feel like they were born into a body that was human when some even think that they should have been born into a body of an animal. This is an identity not a choice or some sort of personality thing.... an online test won't tell you if your otherkin and the majority of people aren't, being otherkin is a spiritual or psychological belief that you ARE NOT HUMAN. Like when I look in the mirror it's not me.its some body I got misplaced into
Otherkins are always cats and wolves but there's never an otherkin with the soul of a rat, a tlacuache, a earth worm or a big fat frog. No fly otherkins or cockroach otherkins. They choose always "edgy" looking animals.
I've actually seen a video of a therian that was a rat and some kind of bug (not sure what bug it was.) So yes, they do exist. Also one of my theriotypes is a horse, not sure how common that is but yk, it's not a choice so don't judge people's theriotypes :]
most are cats and wolves because like 50% of the community are psychological therians/otherkin and not spiritual. For the spiritual ones it would make sense for a wolf or a cat to choose to reincarnate as a human since historically(and logically) those animals have been closer to humans
i tried running on all fours and i loved the feeling of just crawling around and being nonhuman bUt everything changed when i my sis told me i run like a monkey and bOoM im done :D now i just run in my dreams and it feel amazing UnU)))
Man it's almost funny to see the amount of people who turn into armchair psychologists over stuff they consider to be cringe. A lot of that going on in this comment section.
I'm wolfkin. Deal with it. I have the body of a human and the soul of the wolf. My form is a black arctic wolf with amber eyes. I howl on the daily. The wolf to me symbolizes intelligence, loyalty and friendship as well as independence. I reckon it's that way for other wolfkin, too. My wolf name is Xylia Xenobia, which translates to From the woods of Zeus. I'm a lone wolf, sadly. Anyway, people shouldn't hate others for being otherkin...
귤김 Do you take pride in being an asshole over the internet? It's not a fantasy, but honestly I'm not in the mood to argue with someone who believes in an old man in the sky😂
Frankly I feel like this is because modern society is just such a shitshow that some humans have had to find ways to cope with it by doing things like this that seem bizarre to most people. Indigenous people are originally incredibly connected to nature including of course other animals, we've separated from nature too much. In a lot of indigenous cultures, in celebration and ceremonies, they wear animal masks and animal hides, this is sort of like a bastardized version of it imo but still, it's something to think about
I wonder if most of these people grow out of this ok? Some of it might be acceptance issues. I also believe in the age of the internet some of the younger people especially have a need to be unique and strange and envied for that as well. I think it's fine to let them have fun with it as long as it doesn't hurt real life.
I think that a lot of people grow out of it, especially children... when I was I kid, I would pretend I was a wolf and howl, growl and bark with the other neighboring kids.. at night. Because why not, it’s cool to be part animal. But I do think that many people ACTUALLY are other kin, identify as such, and, frankly won’t grow out of it. More people are “coming out” as otherkin nowadays probably because the world is so diverse nowadays and more accepting, especially in America. And the UK.
I think I'm an otherkin because sometime I think that I have wolf ears and a tail that color change based on my emotions and I have wings that are spotted for some reason and I've been BEGGING my parents for a damn dog for YEARS

I mean there's nothing wrong with climbing trees and growling
Don't call them otherkin/therians... they're human beings that enjoy pretending to act like animals. And that's fine... but it's not their identity and it doesn't make them any more or less human than they already are.

It's just the fact they feel non human on the inside, usually caused by neurodivergence but some people identify as that due to spiritual beliefs, otherkin/therians identify as humans and animals as they can't change the fact they are a human and yes you're right, at least physically they can't be more or less human but psychologically it's different
@@sprucefoxy then they need psychological help. Do you think thinking you're an animal is a sign of a mentally sound mind? 🤦♀️
@Cyber Wolf no they're not. No human knows how it feels to be another animal. It's ridiculous and clearly the symptoms of deep seated issues that you're brushing off as an identity. It's insulting to trans people and the troubled young people you're pandering to.

I'm not otherkin, but I think it's really interesting to know other people feel this way. I don't know why you all get so much hate, I guess people don't know how to deal with the confusion they feel when they see humans acting like animals.

I'm with you! I think if you feel the need to make fun of these people and talk like you're better than them, you're just a weak and unhappy person. It's their way of connecting with nature and themselves. What's so bad about that? Let them express themselves however they feel comfortable doing.
This gives such a positive outlight on therianthropy, thank you for this. It feels really nice to get a break from the toxic negativity.
is that lycanthropy
@Valeria Roman if lycanthropy is turning men into beasts, then what is Therianthropy? Beast to man?
Lycanthropy:
the supernatural transformation of a person into a wolf, as recounted in folk tales.
Therianthropy:
Therians, or therianthropes, are people who identify, in some intrinsic way, as an animal that exists or has existed on earth. Some believe that their soul is that of an animal while others believe the cause of their animal identity is psychological.
@@moss7837 As an Evolutionary-Bio nerd I'd love to hear their very scientific psychological explanations. I'm cool with people claiming they have some spititual thing going on, or that they use it as an escape, but pushing pseudo-science is another thing entirely.

As a therian, many people hate us because they are not use to us. When someone is different, people express hate towards them for no reason other than "I don't like what you're doing so stop".. No one is here to please ANYONE but themselves. Who are you to judge me, when you are still finding yourself? Who are you to tell me what to wear, think, speak, and be as a whole when you are the one who doesn't even know self-love? We are spiritual beings, and we are beautiful. We are us, and that's all that matters. Don't get mad that we aren't giving you the negative response you'd like, because you want other people to feel the negativity you feel. "Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that". To the person reading this: You are beautiful, and unique. No one laughs, smiles, looks, acts, and speaks the way you do. You are you, and thats what makes you so beautiful.
Otherkin people are weird. But they don't really deserve the hate.
Otherkins are cool so long as they don't push pseudo-science and equivocate themselves with LGBTQ people.

@% R E E S E % some people do it, it seems to be more common and younger members of the community people typically around the ages of 11 to 15. To each their own honestly. at one point I used to do it but then realized that these creatures to be other candidates identifying as them not with them and the fact that if your theriotype can talk to you or is a separate entity and you don't really see them as you like you aren't them and they aren't you then it's typically more likely to be a spirit guide. I personally don't name my theriotypes as I am my theriotypes, and to elaborate I have seen older people also do it I've just found it to be more common in the younger generation of therians i feel like it's a generally newer concept
I'm a therian myself and I just think this video and especially the comment section is just awsome. I've see therians and otherkin post things on redit and then get overthrown with all the hate comments, but I'm just so glad there are still so many openminded and nice people out there.

I’m so happy to see positivity and acceptance towards us! I used to be against otherkin just out of pure unknowing what we truly are, but about a year ago, i found out I was a catkin for the first time and I just understood us therians and otherkins and accept my identify and who I truly am! I’m also a vampirekin so it’s quite hard having two identities but I’m glad to be accepted and supported!
I think i'm a vampirekin too! hey! glad you overcame that self hatred :] i never truly hated or thought otherkin was cringe, just thought it was strange when i found out about it... welp. in a few years i will become a therapist and yeah... I'm glad I don't think otherkin are "weird" anymore.

how did you found out you were vampirekin though? are you on amino or another communities aswell? (would u mind to recommend some? 👉👈) did you find that out after or before the catkin thing?
sorry for all the questions, i just don't know anyone from the kinmunity and have no idea where to start hahah...
You're not catkin or vampire kin. You like cats and vampires. And that's great. Use that passion to give something back to society instead of trying to mask the fact your life is so empty that you have to pretend to be something you're not. Go to a children's hospice dressed as a cat or a vampire and tell stories to kids about those things, make them laugh and smile instead of sitting on your computer in your basement pretending that you're above being a human.

Welcome to the family lol
Delusional
I’m not otherkin, (anymore.. long story, scroll down to the other section to see that story.) but they do look really happy, being themselves and how like… free, they can feel. I mean, sure. It’s definitely cringy, but it’s opinion. If they feel uncomfortable in a body and feel to be animal, it may be a little cringy, but it’s how they feel inside, and you can’t judge them of that. It’s just how they are inside, they feel trapped in a wrong species, and their soul is being let free. They’re still living, breathing, souls with emotion. They’re just being them.
So.. how I was an "other-kin" at one point story. When I was little, I was raised with cats and had emotional connection with them, I grew attached and truly believed that I had the soul of a cat. I saw Better in the dark, and I could hear just a bit better than usual, but that was just a dumb little kid I was. I generally thought I was other-Kim, as if I was a cat inside. I thought cleaning yourself by paw was a good thing to me, healthy. I felt as if I was feline and became uncomfortable with my body. Over the years, I thought how stupid it was to think i was other-kin. My love for cats started to fade, I mean, I was young, it was an obvious obsession. Now I just believe that feline acts are ok, I’m just not comfortable with it. I find the whole "all fours" thing cringy, but it’s who some people believe they are. I don’t feel AS feline, I just share an emotional connection nowadays. I found that I just really care for felines. I found it stupid and was somewhat harsh on myself of being other kin, but it helped. I’m not saying to do it, but it helped me somewhat realize that I might actually not be other-kin.
That’s all lol
The whole “Sometimes tensions rise between members of the pack, wolves tend to resolve conflict by fighting.” Part was kinda funny to me. The ‘fight’ looked very playful, like dogs when they play with each other, and it’s fortunate this is said later on - but the first part is kinda funny on its own lol
We absolutely do that!! I'm foxkin and playfighting is one of my favorite things ever, I used to do it with my friends when we had fights and then we would all apologize later. It's a really healthy way to get feelings out without actually hurting each other.
As someone who isn't otherkin/theiran I think that these people are super cool. Like their just people (or animals) being themselves and having a good time. Like I have friends who are otherkin/therian and their really cool people!
I think it's odd how some of these people talk about their stereotypes as if it's not them, therianthropy started as an identification as non-human you are your theriotypes to some degree, they cannot act independently from you as they are your identity, if your theriotypes talk to you give you advice and wisdom etc then it is probably a spirit guide
Well guess some of the reasons for that are, that as a Therian you not always reffer to yourself as just your theriotype. You get raised as a human, nothing else, so you always compare that to "that creature of yours that is non-human". Also for Polytherians with multiple theriotypes I feel like you rather seperate that a bit from simply being "you", because you already have to differenciate between the theriotypes. But in the end it alsways YOURSELVE, its not something that is seperated from what is YOU, even if it might sound a bit like that. At least that is my view on things as a Polytherian.
PD (PinkDolphin) made a video of dissociative therianthropy which could explain why some therians talk about theriotypes in 3rd person.
It's his most recent video of the definition of therianthropy.
I’m not an other kin but this is really cool. I like to pretend I’m a grey fox and play fight and chase each other in the house, so I like to pretend what if I was a other-kin. In other words this is interesting and cool to me I like how everyone is having fun and running around. :)

The only part that disappoints me is that it assumes all otherkin is spiritual...
"blind hate"
Maybe if they didn't ridicule the LGBTQ+ community by creating flags and saying they have "species dysphoria" they wouldn't be getting that much hate. You shouldn't encourage this behavior. It's harmful to them and to other people, and an unhealthy way to cope with something. Seeing a therapist may do.
@@DavideCosmaro It's not to ridicule the LGBTQ+ community, species dysphoria is a real thing! Maybe it's psychological, maybe a therapy could help (not like there were any specialists on that topic as for now), but that doesn't make it less real and less of a problem to people like me experiencing it. So yeah, to just assume that it's JUST to mock queer people, 'cause you simply couldn't imagine that some people probably might feel discomfort in the creature they were born with but can't identify as, I would call that "blind hate".

Hi there, as an active member of the otherkin and therian community I'm here to critisize your video. I'm here to correct the mistakes made (often by misinformation, bad research and misconceptions), to give opinion and generally reflect this video. Not to be rude, nor because I feel attacked.
Lemme start watching
0:02 oh a documentary! That means you did your research well, right? Should be interesting then.
0:18 "connection to dragons", this girl is actually known to be a with/pagan/wiccan-anything alike on youtube and isn't really a therian youtuber. While some therians/otherkin do feel a connection to an animal. A connection to an animal doesn't automaticly make one a therian. It's not about a connection. Example: I have hated dolphins all my life (but now respect them after research)
0:21 side note: she's a lot older now and a mother of one or two kids
0:25 taking a cringecomplication as an otherkin example.. I do not count that as valid or serious information or source.
0:38 same case, tho he words otherkinity a bit more correct
1:00 why does no one ever leave her alone? She has already made a second video about that she does not identify the same way anymore. She was suffering from clinical lycanthropy, actually believing one is an animal, physically an animal or can turn into one. clinical lycanthropy is a serious mental illness and not the same as theriantropy/otherkinity (where one at all times know they're 100% physically human)
1:06 STOP RIGHT THERE, 'otherkin/therian are people who believe they posess the soul of an animal', you better do your research better next time as this is plainly incorrect. Having a soul of an animal does not make one a therian.
DEFINITIONS:
therianthropy: the identity where one identifies as a non-human, earthen animal on a non-physical level (recognizing at all times they're human)
A therian: someone identifying as a non-human, earthen animal on a non-physical level (recognizing at all times they're human)
Otherkinity as an umbrella term: the identity where one identifies as a non-human being on a non-physical level (recognizing at all times they're human)
Otherkinity as a subterm: the identity where one identifies as a non-human, non-earthen being specifily on a non-physical level (recognizing at all times they're human)
An otherkin: someone identifying as a non-human, non-earthen animal specificly on a non-physical level (recognizing at all times they're human)
In short: therian identify as animals (cat, dog, fish,..), otherkin identify as non-earthen beings (dragons, unicorns, ..), otherkin (non-specific) is an umbrella term for both therian and otherkin. By that all therians are otherkin, but not all otherkin are therians.
One does not need a past life, soul, connection or anything alike to be otherkin/therian. They only have to identify as non-human. Otherway around, those things do not make one otherkin/therian unless they also identify as non-human.
around 1:30 she could well be a therian/otherkin, who identifies as those beings and beliefs it's caused by having such souls. in terminology this would make her a spiritual therian (experiencing spiritual therianthropy) as her non-human identity is caused by something spiritual.
What bothers me: she refers to her kintypes (animals she identifies as) as a seperated being with an own name and gender.. 1. how can a wolf be called snow? Official research has proven that animals do not name eachother, wolfs and such 'name' other wolfs etc by recognizing their outlooks and smell. The only animal found to 'name' by created a specific sound (simular to a specific word) is the dolphin. So a wolf will not give another wolf any other name than a smell (or recognizing outlook) and it would suprise me if smells are called 'snow'. other than that is 'snow' a human sound that no other animal but parrots etc can create or know etc. By that, a wolf cannot form the word snow. even dogs as pet called laika actually only remember 'aia'. so place all dogs called laika in a giant garden and scream "aia!" and they'll all run to you. The only way a wolf could have a human-formed name is by having been a pet in a past life.
Kintypes are not seperated being, I am an animal, I am my theriotype and my theriotype is me. (even tho I know I'm human in body). You have to compare it to being transgender. A physical girl might identify (gender identity) as a boy. However their gender (boy) isn't a seperated being from them with a different name, likes, dislikes, personality, .. well a kintype works in the same way.. So I raise my eyebrows.
3:17 interesting, you've taken out a pack, a lot of young therians enjoy to form a group and howl and run around in forests wearing 'therian gear', I also am part of an online pack and organise meets were therian gear like tails is frequently worn and howled as well. Nice to see :) (tho not all therians form packs or enjoy them ofcourse and not all packs are therians, many enjoy to pretend and roleplay instead. Some wolf-like packs might be teen werewolves instead, which is an emo like lifestyle where they do wolf-like activities while not actually identifying as a wolf)
the guy at 3:59 should do his research better however. He reffers to his theriotype as a seperated being with an own name, gender an personality. Same case as with 1:30 and what I said about the comparison to transgenders.
4:31 tails, I love tails. However those are impossible to be roadkill or hunt or non-furfarm taxidermy. We got a golden island fox tail and cinnamon fox tail. Golden island foxes are a mix between red fox and arctic fox and one of the most popular furfarm foxes. Arctic and red foxes are in nature enemies and will kill eachother or eachothers pups, they're created by furfarms and do not exist outside of furfarms. Back in ~1960 or so, the last wild golden island fox was seen but those are VERY rare exceptions and a tail would cost you like 200-500$ as they're very rare. The cinnamon fox is a colour mutation of the red fox, created by furfarms and not possible in the wild. Both tails are by this furfarm tails and animals killed for fur.. However I'm not against furfarms (unless they're known for cruelty, like aliexpress/wish and any chinese furfarm) as plastic fake fur tails at the end do way more damage to the world and animal population than furfarm foxes. Furfarm foxes individually suffer. But plastic fake fur tails kill entire populations of fish and forests etc and hurt more general animals at the end. EDIT: after a closer look, the white-like tail could also be a platinum tail, however platinum is also a red fox colour mutation created in furfarms and only possible in furfarms. Non-existing in the wild.
5:26 I would rather call it roleplaying and playfighting, which many theriand including me enjoy, rather than actual fighting etc hha. Wolfs in the wild after all wouldn't fight either as they live in a mom x dad (alpha pair) = kids structure. Alpha-beta-omega is an old research which is proven to be incorrect and false information, alpha-beta-omega structure only exists in captive wolfs (zoo etc). Aka wolfs in the wild will only fight if the kid annoys the parent or if a wolf is in danger by another wolf which is not from their pack. if a therian annoys or angers another therian, serious fights with biting or clawing might happen, but most are able to keep themselves in control.
8:38 as a good point there about being older and 'not needing to go over top anymore' etc, I completely agree with her and share the same experience. I was more 'extreme' in expressing therianthropy at the age of 16 compared to now, at the age of 18.
9:20 'it's just a belief we have', therianthropy is not a belief, it's an identity. it can be caused by believing something or such when you believe it's caused by past lifes or souls by example or given by god or Anything alike. But at it's own, it's not a belief.
He's correct tho, many enjoy us being around and I've gotten many positive conversations with non-therians while having a therian meet etc. We do not harm, we have fun and are enjoying ourselves in a friendly and harmless way and then people don't mind us really.
There are still exceptions.. but the majority of my experiences with 'outsiders' are positive.

Despite some general misconceptions and such, I enjoyed this documentary and it was amazingly well filmed and edited.
My apologies for the lenght.
Wow, that is one looong answer XD
rellybel you know how I am 😂 it's a curse
Tbh I think people name their theriotypes so it's easier to explain to people, so for example
"im called ________ " I don't feel my Theriotypes have names, but I named them just so people could differentiate between them
Hi. I'm Trixie. From the video. My kin types have names that I gave them myself.
Also another problem is this. I spent a full day with the crew and did numerous interviews. Sadly they've been cut and at one point I stated that therian/otherkin all tend to have etheir own ways of explaining the community but this one is my way, I even said that many others would probably disagree with me.
Are you the one thumbs down?....
this is so sweet- i’m vampirekin and i don’t have any otherkin/therian people in my life
vampire suits you, because you haven't seen the sun. you're a human, dumbass. people like you is why our generation is ridiculed
You are not vampirekin. You like vampires, stop trying to identify as a creature from fantasy, you are human.
@@Smoke.stardust You're so desperate for attention LMAO

Im fictionkin of c!karl jacobs and ever since i was little ive also kinned foxes, mainly the nine tailed fox kitsunes from japan, and im so glad to see people not hating on otherkin and stuff like that, i love the positivity in this comment section and the video!
you're not karl jacobs
@@notdead5837 ik im not him currently, but i was him before, specifically his character not the content creator. Thats what fiction kin is, people who were once someone from fictional media, it can be a spiritual belief or just an identity in general, i dont believe someone should be telling me what my identity is. If you have something mean to say please dont say it, ty! /Gen
@@MagicaMadokaUA wait how does fictionkin work? Like how could you think that you were his character and in what way(s)? I can’t imagine it as a past life thing since his character is fictional
i would cry whenever i ffelt like a cat turns out im really just a kitsunekin and i love being one! (Edit: I speak with my cats sometimes)
Cool!!! I thought I was a kitsune but I'm actually a raccoon...
I think of course
I am a catkin!! I really do feel like I'm a kitty trapped in the body of a human.
U mean ur a human who likes cats? We use to just call those cat lovers
that's a fucking normal thing to talk to your cats. that doesn't mean you are a fucking cat. get mental help
I I'm a therian and to all the therians that get hate just stay strong😊
I can tell you are a kind brave soul, May blessings come your way ^-------^ ~Delta Wolfie
as long as they’re not hurting eachother it’s ok
Taking a walk in the woods and hears a meow. Turns and sees a Otherkin
“WHAT THE!!!!!”
HER RATS ARE SO CUTE BRUH WHAT I LOVE THEMSKLDFJSDL
I'm a questioning otherkin/therian. So finding stuff like this is always nice
@the meme factory no it isn't, Tumblr otherkin is just strange compared to other sites and communities for otherkins
@the apocryphite first of all, please refrain from using the word "retarded". It is offensive to compare how people feel about themselves to a mental illness. And however a person chooses to identify should not matter as long as it does not directly effect you or pose a danger. They hurt no one by saying they feel a stronger connection and better identify with non human entities. However if an adult wants to identify as a minor so prey on children, that is where you are allowed to be concerned. I personally dont like them identifying as animals because it's stealing Native American culture but I can't stop them so it's none of my business.
The music choice at the beginning was just a vibe.
I love that Linkin Park jacket
In the back of my school there is a huge forest and there is a group of Othekin and I'm part of that group and I am only 13 and me and my friends own a spot in the woods where we hang out and we play fight a lot, sometimes other kins try and come too are side of are territory and we fight. So they can stay away from are side.
I am an Red Wolf otherkin and I find it pretty cool when people who are otherkin share their stories. I just wish they didn't use real tails.
Im just asking, do you think you’re an animal?
@@NortheastCorridorFilms I feel like I have wolf in me for sure
I hate using fake tails as when I have to get rid of it I have to throw it away where it’ll just be thrown in a landfill and cause more pollution
@@rimeduinfox1056 I still think it's better then using real tails cause then a real animal doesn't have to die
@@wolvesgirl1565 I’d consider using real fur as it kills much more wildlife and nature using fake ones. I get all my furs and bones from roadkill and people who had to kill the animals like local farmers. So they had dies anywho
Makes me wonder how prevalent this kind of thing was in older cultures and traditions. I bet it wasn't so uncommon back in those days!
The foundation of humanity.
People will always push the bar. it will never be enough
Goooo LINKIN PARK!
I did a quiz just for sh*ts and giggles and it turns out I’m AngleKin
Your kin type isn't defined by some online test or anything like that finding a can type is about research and learning about how you feel inside, people who are other can do not see themselves as their physical body inside they feel like they were born into a body that was human when some even think that they should have been born into a body of an animal. This is an identity not a choice or some sort of personality thing.... an online test won't tell you if your otherkin and the majority of people aren't, being otherkin is a spiritual or psychological belief that you ARE NOT HUMAN. Like when I look in the mirror it's not me.its some body I got misplaced into
@@prettylethal1286 I've already discussed this with Kitten bean, I'm not going to with u.
I can just smell Trixies room through my screen.
I'm not an otherkin but it would be rlly cool if we could actually turn into it
This is actually pretty cool
No it isnt dumbass
@@shawnfraley4838 shut the hell up please :)
You sound like the type of girl who describes themself as quirky
@@shawnfraley4838 I'm autistic. That's why.
Ok? And
Not otherkin, but I've never really seen what's wrong with it? Like yeah sometimes they do stupid shit but they don't really hurt anyone
Otherkins are always cats and wolves but there's never an otherkin with the soul of a rat, a tlacuache, a earth worm or a big fat frog. No fly otherkins or cockroach otherkins.
They choose always "edgy" looking animals.
Those therians do exist. I've seen so many of the "unusual" types of animals
i can only hope that this is never ever tracked back to me irl. But I’ll just say Wormkin exist. I… know a friend 🌚
As a rat otherkin yeah you don't see a lot of us lol
I've actually seen a video of a therian that was a rat and some kind of bug (not sure what bug it was.) So yes, they do exist. Also one of my theriotypes is a horse, not sure how common that is but yk, it's not a choice so don't judge people's theriotypes :]
most are cats and wolves because like 50% of the community are psychological therians/otherkin and not spiritual. For the spiritual ones it would make sense for a wolf or a cat to choose to reincarnate as a human since historically(and logically) those animals have been closer to humans
i tried running on all fours and i loved the feeling of just crawling around and being nonhuman bUt everything changed when i my sis told me i run like a monkey and bOoM im done :D now i just run in my dreams and it feel amazing UnU)))

This looks so cool and interesting! Keep doing you! ❤️
This is so nice, our community usually gets so much hate. :]
Other kin have mental issues. If you are an other kin please see a counsellor or psychologist. This is for your mental stability
@@ゼロシン Bestie- I have mental issues, but not because I'm a therian. Do your research Susan💀
@@steppedoncheto9714 bestie you should seek a therapist cause your a human bro
@@CleenisNOThere otherkin know they're humans
@@ゼロシン did you know in older cultures people used to identify as animals and this isn't a new thing or caused by mental issues?
Remember back when we took mental health seriously? No? Ya me either
Who is the girl with the blonde and pink hair in the 'The Shasta Wolves' segment (3:23)? She is cute.
My grandmother is gonna look at my search history and disown me

A little too wholesome.

I respect your opinion 💕
I respect your opinon, keep being you dear.
Man it's almost funny to see the amount of people who turn into armchair psychologists over stuff they consider to be cringe. A lot of that going on in this comment section.
I'm wolfkin. Deal with it. I have the body of a human and the soul of the wolf. My form is a black arctic wolf with amber eyes. I howl on the daily. The wolf to me symbolizes intelligence, loyalty and friendship as well as independence. I reckon it's that way for other wolfkin, too. My wolf name is Xylia Xenobia, which translates to From the woods of Zeus. I'm a lone wolf, sadly. Anyway, people shouldn't hate others for being otherkin...
You'll grow up from this fantasy someday and cringe at yourself
귤김 Do you take pride in being an asshole over the internet? It's not a fantasy, but honestly I'm not in the mood to argue with someone who believes in an old man in the sky😂
I identify as a meat popsicle
rantsu wtf lol

*Me and the boys sharing souls *
Frankly I feel like this is because modern society is just such a shitshow that some humans have had to find ways to cope with it by doing things like this that seem bizarre to most people. Indigenous people are originally incredibly connected to nature including of course other animals, we've separated from nature too much. In a lot of indigenous cultures, in celebration and ceremonies, they wear animal masks and animal hides, this is sort of like a bastardized version of it imo but still, it's something to think about
I wonder if most of these people grow out of this ok? Some of it might be acceptance issues. I also believe in the age of the internet some of the younger people especially have a need to be unique and strange and envied for that as well. I think it's fine to let them have fun with it as long as it doesn't hurt real life.
nick perry all of the comments are like “Im otherkin too!!!” Ans saying this is “educational” 😂😂😂 im literally dying
I think that a lot of people grow out of it, especially children... when I was I kid, I would pretend I was a wolf and howl, growl and bark with the other neighboring kids.. at night. Because why not, it’s cool to be part animal. But I do think that many people ACTUALLY are other kin, identify as such, and, frankly won’t grow out of it. More people are “coming out” as otherkin nowadays probably because the world is so diverse nowadays and more accepting, especially in America. And the UK.
@@keana1057 it is educational it is educating peope about us
wolf 666 i’m referring to the comments saying like that they are educating kids how to “properly” be “therian”!
We don't exactly grow out of it, we can grow out of the community but we will always be what we are
first question.. what's a soul? how do you know this exists? have you watched too many movies?
Honestly I’m either part bird, dragon, or wolf
i like your video
i have too many theriotypes and kintypes
I think I'm an otherkin because sometime I think that I have wolf ears and a tail that color change based on my emotions and I have wings that are spotted for some reason and I've been BEGGING my parents for a damn dog for YEARS
You could also be otherhearted. It really depends on if you Identify as a human or not.
I think I'm possibly an otherkin but I feel more like a weird furry ( I'm already a furry) but either way i think otherkin and therian are cool
It's been a week, I am a therian
Proud of you for figuring out
5:38 I want a therian freind so bad this looks so fun :(
Shasta pack!!!!
do you know them??
Neckbeard thinks he is a dragon...no waaaay 😮
This is what I got when I looked up "Alexa, unsh*t my pants" just so everyone is clear.
I'm not an otherkin but I'm a therian.
Aren’t they the same or no?
