  • In today's video I will be naming 8 common ways that alterhumans such as therians an otherkin can trigger a shift! Be mindful that not all alterhumans shift, and that this will not make you "become" alterhuman. This is only for those who are either already able to shift, or want to figure out if they can. It may also help Otherlinkers out there!

    I had a shift recently and I was trying to get popcorn out of my bucket by sticking my face into it. I realized that wouldn’t work and I pushed it over and got my popcorn. Very happy in a shift until I bit onto a colonel and came back to reality. I was also walking around my local pond yesterday and I felt so good. Found a clearing and ran around in that. It was so awesome! I am a wolf Therain that has awakened a few weeks ago and I have been so much happier. I don’t fully know how to tell my friends but I will

    My main shift triggers are:
    1. Being in a snowy habitat
    2. Being in nature in general
    3. Rough playing with my friends
    4. Biking
    5. Playing with this specific toy that when I hold it in my mouth it makes me feel like a canine
    Also, when I watch Thorn’s videos I get a strange playful feeling and want to act like an animal. I get that kinda thing a lot when I’m watching therian videos

    I'm a recently awakened therian and I awakened last month (I had been questioning since August). One thing that really helped me to realize that I was a therian is that once after doing quads, I was walking on two legs when suddenly for some reason I pictured in my mind myself with calico cat ears (my theriotype) and I got a sudden urge to run on all fours and pounce and meow like a cat. I'm pretty sure that was a shift even though it lasted about 5 seconds

      Otherlink
      An otherlink (aka 'link or linktype) is a voluntary identity as an alterhuman or fictional being, adopted for various reasons. Someone who has a linktype is referred to as an otherlinker, and the action of having a linktype is called otherlinking. The term "otherlink" can also be used as an umbrella term for linktypes from specific causes/reasons.
      And another one…
      Otherlink is similar to Copinglink in that it refers to a person who has voluntarily chosen a nonhuman identity, but for reasons other than coping. Otherlinks are also known as 'linkers. Their chosen nonhuman identity is called their linktype, or 'type for short.
      Linktypes have one or more purposes, which is why an Otherlink may change linktypes over time if the purpose(s) the linktype fulfilled has been accomplished or the need for it faded.
      "It can be deeply integral to a person, or something fleeting that comes and goes. While hypothetically a 'link can be "dropped," it's more often that someone changes and evolves their link to better suit them than drop the identity entirely, which can be difficult depending on how integral the identity is to a person. "
      Hope all of that helps!

    Knowing how certain sides of this community can be, the disclaimer is very much necessary. But having a nice and compact list like this ready is super useful! Especially for otherlinkers!
    One of the times I love to trigger shifts is when I'm cycling. With the right music and slightly leaning forward to let my head lead my body, it just feels like I'm running. If I get really into it, I can feel the wind blowing through my fur and going over a small hill feels like I could jump, spread my wings and fly away! Unfortunately my bike makes me ride back down again and I still have to pay attention to the traffic around me of course.
    The bit about emotions being shift triggers really resonated with me. Before I knew anything about theriantropy, they are probably the thing that triggered my shifts the most. I very often felt my ears lowering and tugging down on my head when I felt sad. Or when got irritated after many negative things piled up, I remember just wanting to transform into a wolf so I could tear everything apart. As edgy as that may sound lol. Luckily I have healthy ways to deal with my emotions now, but it's interesting to see how it influences therians and their shifts.

    My first shift was when I tripped and landed on all four of my paws (I'm a cat therian), it was a small, kinda fuzzy shift, but I saw something when I landed, like a view of a large open field with a small tree next to it. It was a beautiful day, not even a single cloud in the sky, but just as I was about to walk around, I heard a faint "meow," and I came back.

    One of my common emotional shift triggers is anger. I’ll often growl involuntarily, or sometimes if for instance I’m upset when I’m sitting outside because someone at the park is bullying my alterhuman pack members, so I’m might go into a fight stance on all fours. Another common shift trigger for me is sounds. For instance I have this sound app on my phone where you can compose mixes by combining different sounds. (I actually caused multiple memory shifts this way.)

  • @xBloodxFangx
    @xBloodxFangx 3 місяці тому +17

    Ive been journaling and think I figured out two therian types of mine (though its still a debate). Two big triggers I have is music. Music makes me feel more wild, especially viking or heavy metal. I howl during certain notes or when trying to sing higher. It also makes me mentally shift to a more snarling and snappy state. The wolf side of me really comes out to music.
    The other one I have I think relates more to my zebra self. I live in Florida and know we got alligators in the waters. It is common sense for most people to be wary of the water here, but I see people get up real close to the edge to fish or while walking and its not a big deal to them. To me it is, I feel like being too close instantly puts me as a target. It honestly makes my heart race and cause a little panic. Could be also cause predators do target prey animals near water spaces, like lions. But I hyper focus on the edge (and surroundings), even tiny ponds that I know have no gators in them, cause Im waiting to see movement in case I have to jump back fast. Ive spooked a few times to turtled going into the water because I thought that was the moment I was being attacked. Swimming alone also triggers this. Swimming with others, fine. Swimming alone (even in a pool which should be safe) I feel instantly singled out and a target and am about to be grabbed by something I cant see, so I rush to get out and wont go back in alone. I wont even be the first to go back in. I let friends or others go first and wait to see if its ok. What's funny is I love alligators and crocodiles, they are one of my favorite animals, but Im still extremely nervous in situations that could mean Im easy prey and water triggers that very much.
    (Was thinking also it could be seal? Because of sharks targeting singled out ones, but I don't really feel the ocean or beach is my environment)

    I feel like a shift mostly when I’m listening to certain music or when I’m doing something my theriotype would do. Like if I’m running somewhere, I get this feeling like I’m not where I actually am and I feel as though I’m running like my theriotype would. Also I get the urge to growl or hiss when I’m scared or angry about something.

    My shift tiggers:
    1.pretend hunting
    2.field or forest like territory
    3.wearing gear
    4.being surprised(I don’t know why but when I’m surprised I act like an animal,I would hisses,do a surprised meow or bark and claw or attack a little. I don’t know if that counts as a shift but I’m adding it)

    The chances of me having a shift are very rare, but i am able to shift. Just not very often. But i think i have not had many shifts is because there hasn't been anything around me that makes me shifty except for therian vids/pov's. :)

    -doing quads
    -doing vocals
    -nature sounds

I don't know if this is for everyone who is otherhearted/kith but I have phantom shifts sometimes and I kind of want to try to trigger a shift. I feel stupid writing this but yeah. I was just wondering.

    Definitely a difference with stress and comfort. It's mostly with body language. With my pony shifts I can get a bit erratic if it's caused by stress and I have less control over it usually I feel phantom ears and they are pinned back and my tail swishing. I can also feel tense where a horse would feel tension if that makes sense. For mental shifts I definitely pace marching more than a human would and I shake my head also erratically. I've been known to kick out in fear too. For positive pony shifts they don't usually last long as it only really happens when I'm running and I got a problem so I tire easily , but my ears are forward and tail still. I also feel more flexible in my spine when this happens and sometimes have an urge to throw my head down and kinda kick jump thing. Usually hurts my back after so I try not to. And with wolf shifts , i only get positive ones from quads but it's rare , I like get playful and stuff. Doesn't Happen often but usually it's fear as it's a copingkin. I get urge to growl and snap at people when threatened

I am able to have shifts, but it's very rare unless it's triggered by something. I look forward to having only positive shifts, i heard that fear induced and anger induced shifts are pretty bad, so i don't look forward to having one of those! Anyways, i just wanted to say hi ♡♡

    so I've been recently introduced to the therian/furry community and acc to me this is beautiful even though I'm not a therian. one of my friend really struggles with it as no one support us, not even our parents. it would be a great help of some of you guys could guide us on therian stuff and things

    I looooove the concept of the phantom shift. Even if people think that shifting in general is just hocus-pocus, phantom shifting isn't. It's just a simple sort of neurological trick you can play on yourself, kinda like wearing invisible gear. Only thing is, I can't always trigger it on command. But I'll take it. I love it.

    I am a North American river otter therian ( questioning red tailed hawk and also questioning if I am a mustelid cladotherian ) and it is almost impossible for me to trigger shifts. I don’t have them very often and when I do they are very short. It also doesn’t help that I live on the other side of the world to where my theriotype lives. But anyway.
    My shift triggers:
    - fear
    - looking out of windows ( especially on road trips)
    - rain
    - swimming
    - music
    - forests
    - riding through puddles on my bike
    - watching birds
