My Favorite 2 Flavors Of Glass Animals Songs Have To Be Dave Bayley Singing Like An Unsatisfied Housewife

I'm having phantom shifts right now! I can feel my ears sticking straight up, taking in all the sounds. I can feel my tail flicking beside me. This is so nice :]

This looked fun.

1. I don't mind being called any of the things listed. I'd also add on shapeshifter. Not because I actually believe I can shape shift ( :[ ) but just that my form changes so much and my relation to my types is so fluid it really just feels like sometimes I sneeze and grow ears haha. It also plays into my interpretation of shape shifters.

2. I have a couple! A radioactive mutt (closely resembling the chernobyl dogs), a common raccoon, southeastern coyote, wolf (I've never been able to fully narrow this down to a specific kind, so I just say wolf.), and a livestock guardian dog (I haven't been able to narrow down which specifically, I think maybe a šarplaninac).

I'm kinsidering the chestnut wolf from Minecraft and one of my own characters as some kind of fictionkin, though I'm hesitant on claiming it :/

3. Probably the radioactive mutt.

4. For the mutt, sour candy. Anything that turns my tongue a different color. As for the rest, comfort foods and meat like chicken fried steak, brisket, potato soup, mac n cheese.

5. Green. Bright, bright green. Also, muted earthy tones.

6. I own lots of gear! I have a whole list about what I consider gear on my blog. I like to make masks and have made 4 for myself so far. I have a few collars, a pair of ears, tails, and gloves. I also consider all of my clothes and a lot of my jewelry gear. Even the way I dye my hair, I consider gear, haha.

7. It has made me more comfortable in my skin, and having a label and a community has helped ease a lot of the loneliness and yearning I felt before I considered myself nonhuman.

8. I'll never really be perceived by others the way I want to be, I can't change certain characteristics of myself to fit how I feel. It's harder for me to communicate with others at times because of how much of my communication is nonverbal.

9. I love hiking, camping, listening to certain types of music, dressing in clothes I feel fit my types, DIYing, and interacting with my friends and community. I get to act like a canine around my loved ones, and they don't mind.

10. I have several! Most of my types tend to revolve around the seasons, so I have different playlists for each. In the colder months, I experience more wolf and livestock dog shifts, so I listen to my winter woods playlist more. In the warmer months, I experience more raccoon and coyote shifts, so I play my summer woods playlist. My radioactive mutt type is present all year round, and I have a playlist dedicated to it called Apocalypse Dog Radio (lots of Gorillaz and other funky jams). Music is a huge part of my identity!

11. Outside of stuff I wear, I also have a ton of trinkets and such that remind me of my types and my hearthomes. I have a bunch of minecraft and some fallout 4 merch, journals I write in, sticks, rocks and shells, bells, and other little various things.

12. Yup. Lots of comfy clothes and layers. Either in warm tones or muted earthy ones. I love clothes I can go on adventures in. I also love Converse because they keep my feet close to the ground and feel like paws.

13. I used to when I was younger, and I had a fursona. I don't so much anymore, seeing as my types aren't characters. They're me. I think furries are really cool, though :]

14. I don't draw animals a whole lot but here's one of my radioactive mutt type:

:]

Me when mm cold.

When you live in a normally hot climate, but the weather is starting to noticeably get cooler

If you can't tell, I'm having a grand time

The horrors are too soul destroying and harrowing to shit post about. I need to etch them into the sides of his urn, I need his ghost hanging over my shoulder, tellin' me, "Go get em son."

I need him to howl at the moon with me or some shit.

I love my pack they're such nice people

Be there! For! Your! People!

when i say community

i mean staying with the victims of violence until the emts get there

i mean not letting the cops get them alone even though you just met

i mean carrying around extra pain and allergy meds not just for yourself, but in case anyone else needs them too

i mean giving them to anyone regardless of if you actually like them as a person

i mean password sharing and spreading links to your favorite pirating site

i mean helping that stranger set up a workaround for their broken computer

i mean helping them understand the weird ass language in a job application

i mean helping people understanding medical information when their doctors did a bad job

i mean letting someone sleep on your couch so they don't have to go home

i mean checking if people have rides home

i mean "text me so i know youre safe when you get home"

i mean "have you eaten today"

i mean "have you eaten enough today"

i mean "what do you want, i'm buying tonight"

i mean "hey does anyone have experience with this med, my doctor wants to put me on it but i'm not sure"

i mean "here's a zine on going off of psych meds with minimal risk"

i mean "hey you weren't at the show tonight, are you doing ok?"

i mean "i have a spare room if you ever need it"

i mean "i'm here, i promise i'm here"

Hey! I still want to make a big lore dump post talking about me and my friends minecraft server, I just also happen to be a very busy college student :,D

So until I can actually sit down and do that monster of a paper justice, here are some pictures of Para Sanar

I hope my mutuals (and most others honestly) know that when I follow them back, it's basically me saying I think their shoes are cool and that we could sit together at lunch or smth... 👀

You are so free to dm me I will actually be so happy. I will probably be really freaking awkward but also yall are chill I'm just a nervous wreck.

Writers hell. I am in writers hell. I am chewing on the bars of my enclosure, trying to finish this short story draft and driving myself insane.

^^^ me if you were wondering.
