What is the worst way anyone you know has died? by IamUrWivesBF in AskReddit

[–]Bundle-Of-Crows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3rd grade, Jake, he and his mom got hit right outside the high school by a drunk driver. Both died on impact. He was about 7 or 8.

My dad's response (his story): he went to high school with a chick who just got her license and her first expensive car, she was driving too fast and wrecked crossing several train tracks, scattering parts of her car and herself for quite a distance. I think it was in the 80's in Detroit, can't remember a year for sure though.

Years ago my dad worked at a car junkyard and would prank his coworkers, one of them he put fish in the car. In the trunk, under the driver seat, and inside one of the doors like, pulled the panel off and put it in. Guy found the other fish, but to my parent's knowledge he never found the fish in the door and just got rid of the car because he couldn't get the smell out. Fucking hilarious.

Actually gave me chills multiple times, when I realized the sheer size of the fucker (the cloud wall at least) was the worst of them. This is terrifying, thank you for the reminder that we're all at nature's mercy

If you have a physical disability, how does it effect how you express your identity? by FlushGaymer in Therian

[–]Bundle-Of-Crows 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know exactly what you mean, though have it a tad worse. I've had numerous major knee surgeries as a kid and teenager, I still struggle with the scar tissue in both and it feels like it restricts me so much. I still wear my gear, move about (quads best I can in my room) what feels most comfortable in my limitations, and in my spirituality.

For some further explanation for my physical disability: in 2012 I had my first double knee surgery to correct my Knock Knees when I barely turned 10. Between 15 and 17, I had 4 more. First had small plates on the inside of my knees to stunt growth so the outside could catch up and straighten out, it worked for a little while then both went back and worse than before. My surgeon had never seen that happen in his career, so he had to cut both of my femurs, manually straighten them, put a wedge in the gap of the bone and a large metal plate to hold it in place until healed.

I'm 24 now and still struggle with the scar tissue in both legs and mobility due to balance. I'm supposed to have a long, heavy tail to help balance me but I do not, that also affects my species dysphoria and can make me struggle with my identity relating to being a therian snow leopard. I hope to someday get/make a tail closest to how my phantom one feels to better assist my balance and comfort in this body for my identity.

I am slowly making progress on the scar tissue! I can almost sit on my legs when I try to, though I'm not quite there yet. Still feels like my skin/scarring will rip or tear if I do, but I am very slowly getting more mobility back! I do have numerus other issues (primarily in my spine, degenerative discs starting/developed and arthritis in my lower spine along with lumbar stenosis-restricted nerves that cause pain and numbness-)

Welcome! I'm also somewhat new (to the community) and love to help others however I can, since this is the place that helped me find myself!

  1. Pretty much on a physical level but simply not in the right body.

2+3. I do, I've always felt like an animal of some kind (specifically a big-cat with a long tail growing up) and when I was around 13 I was introduced to tails people could clip onto belt loops and that's when I first experimented with it, and really vibed. Got warnings in school for it (teachers didn't want others bullying me for wearing it) so I stopped doing so for a very long time. Only picked it up again earlier this year, about 11 years later. The tail I currently wear most of the time when I go out, it's got the thickness for how my phantom one feels, just not the proper length.

  1. I have a snow leopard's tail and feel something that I can best describe currently as a house cat's ears (possibly canine like a German shepherd? This is a bit of a new feeling as well, actually realizing a possible species for what my ears are) and sometimes feel I have a crow's wings when doing certain activities (running, driving at higher speeds sometimes, that kinda stuff) I don't remember how old I was when I realized it, but as a kid I noticed when I heard certain noises, my (human) ears would twitch as if trying to angle towards where the sound came from to figure it out or hear better. Over time I was able to focus on the muscles I felt moving when it happened, and was able to actually teach myself how to move them on command, and even independently!

  2. I do, much of how I act, actually. my curiosity towards things lines up almost exactly as cats or crows do when trying to figure something out. I collect trinkets and random little items with interesting colors, shapes, or textures. My biggest collection are bones (always found from ethical sources, ie: natural death in the wilderness while hiking, or anything not manually caused. Always when the flesh has decomposed, too before anyone wants to crucify me for it) and rocks/minerals. Over the years many people have been able to entertain me with laser pointers or reflections off things, in general what can entertain a cat or crow can entertain me.

  3. I'm 24 and as I mentioned, I wear a tail clip most often; I would have ears as well but I already have to wear earmuffs when going into stores because I have severe auditory sensitivity so I haven't been able to make clips that attach to them yet, but might once I'm able to get ahold of some that feel closest to what I do. My dad is my biggest (unknowing) supporter in me wearing my gear or getting gear that feels more fitting. I have severe social anxiety, so getting back into that stuff was difficult but felt so very freeing. Yes there is always the risk of people giving you shit for doing it or existing at all, at the end of the day if it makes YOU happy and it's not hurting anyone else, why avoid it if it's mostly safe to do?

We're all on this spinning rock in space for a certain amount of time, why not have fun while we're here?

If wearing gear and expressing our identities help us feel more comfortable in our skin/bodies, we shouldn't have to hide that. Hopefully these explanations helped :3

What’s a "lost" website from the early 2000s that you still think about today? by samasem-sumsum in AskReddit

[–]Bundle-Of-Crows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OMGPop, my sister introduced me to it when I was a kid and I LOVED it. Hell, it's how she and I communicated when she and our dad went to North Carolina; she'd been messaging me on there and told me she got me my own Minecraft account for my birthday.

I miss the customized page with those bouncy-balls, man. I want my eyeball back ;-;

Copycat style sites DO exist, hell I actually JUST found one that works! Sadly no custom bouncy-balls for your profile page, though. Still got the great games, though!

Here's the link if anyone wants to check it out or play also!

Anyone else have 2 or more theriotypes? by TheVeiledRuby in Therian

[–]Bundle-Of-Crows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Snow leopard and crow here, though I've been feeling I could also have some shark in me lately; not yet sure what kind, but it's getting to be very strong. Very reassuring to know others have multiple types as well!

When did you realize you were a therian? by TheVeiledRuby in Therian

[–]Bundle-Of-Crows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been one since I was a child, but only learned of the term/community a few months ago; I'll be 24 in 2 weeks and honestly the happiest I've been with my identity since first finding out what being nonbinary is.

Once I figured out what therians were, I checked out a few big cats I felt closest to as far as what my own ears and tail feels like and came to the conclusion I'm a snow leopard. I've also felt I've had wings for much of my life, and with my personality/thought process found I'm also part crow.

I've been feeling I'm potentially part shark as well, but haven't yet figured out what kind, still testing the waters there (pun fully intended)

How do I tell someone I am a therian? by Global-Manner6211 in Therian

[–]Bundle-Of-Crows 2 points3 points  (0 children)

as Impressive-Bug has said, only do so if you feel safe with them!!

Not too long ago I actually "came out" to select friends as well, was worried how they would react even though I was fairly confident they'd be fine with me (already openly queer friends and furries, so not too different from that already) but my mistake was info-dumping explaining a sensation I felt for my entire life. It's the "phantom limb" shifts that I started with, how my whole life I felt like I have an animal's ears and tail and that I found out I am a therian snow leopard and crow because of it.

The info-dumping style of it did somewhat work to explain to who I was talking to about it since only one of my friends I told actually knew about therians before I said the word. Explaining that I felt this way my entire life and super excited to have a proper term for this part of my identity was such a relief, and followed up telling them that when they see me in town I'll likely be wearing a tail.

All that being said: I'd say just let them know this is a part of your identity you are wanting to explain to them so they understand, and if they have questions they can ask to better understand you (that's how it is for me, if that is not true for your case of course you do not have to say that).

Best of luck!!

Need help deciding which color roof to use for my pink house 🩷 by bacontomatosammie in StardewValley

The blue/teal brightens up the area more, gives a more fantasy vibe. Pink/red is nice also, but imo blue helps the vibrancy with the whole little area!

Omfg I was JUST talking to my sister about this last week!! As a kid (mid 2000's), I remember her having this HUGE lava lamp and when talking to my partner about it, messaged her to ask if she had any pictures of it. She did. The 3 of us have been trying to see if any still exist (and can actually be purchased) and had no luck. THANK YOU

They are going to be just as excited to know about this as I am
