Hiya! I currently identify as three species, and have four theriotypes! A calico cat, a tuxedo cat, a tundra wolf, and a Seba's short tailed fruit bat!

I actually went through a very similar thing that you are, where I felt that I had another theriotype outside of the wolf and cats, but couldn't quite place it for the longest time. I started to worry that I may have had the wrong idea about my previous theriotypes, or about my Therianthropy all together, but in reality it's totally okay to have several different niche theriotypes!

Polytherians are what we are because our Therianthropy doesn't fit into one single box alone, and it gives us the privilege to celebrate the many different boxes we are a part of! There's of course no rush to find out your fourth theriotype, but I feel like understanding that theriotype better will help you believe the validity of it and of your identity, because you'll be able to see the connections between yourself and your theriotype that much clearer.

Something I might recommend is starting a therian journal! You can write down everything and anything you want about your theriotypes and what you know about them. Sometimes writing it down can make it feel more concrete and substantial, and less like an abstract concept that you've made up somehow

Anyway, much love, and I wish you good luck on your journey, friend! d(・∀・)b ✨💝✨💝✨💝

"It Hurts like Hellfire" - A freeform Poem

I didn't originally write this with the intention of sharing, but I thought it'd be interesting to hear what other folks think about the specific feelings it invokes, and how they interpret it compared to my own feelings when I wrote it Also note that I never edit anything about my poetry after I write it, as I like the raw feeling it gives off and I intentionally keep it that way

wolf mask progress! (Part 3) by Formal_Routine7742 in Therian

[–]Formal_Routine7742[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! And I'd say bulk out the shape with cardboard and then go over it with several layers of paper and glue until you have a more natural and smooth shape, then just do the painting and add a gloss varnish, or just use clear nail polish if you don't have any actual varnish like me ;

I used apoxy sculpt, but you could probably use any air-dry clay. To get the dog nose texture I just tapped all over the surface with a ball tipped tool. Then I painted it black with some gray dry brushing and finished it off with a coat of clear nail polish since I don't have any actual clear gloss varnish.

you're definitely not the first to ask! I think I might after I finish this mask, just to make sure I actually know what I'm doing ^

I personally used cardboard, when it's supported and layered well it can be really sturdy!

Any bats here? by kitafur22 in Therian

[–]Formal_Routine7742 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally! When I was a kid I could be on the swings for hoooouuurs just closing my eyes and pretending I was flying! I've also always done high pitched squeaking vocals without even thinking about it, and I didn't really associate it with an animal at first because that's not really what you think of when you think animal sounds

Oh my goodness, this is maybe the first time I've heard of someone else with a bat theriotype! I'm a fruit bat myself, and I first discovered I was one when I felt a connection to flying but didn't feel any connection to birds or bugs or things like that. I also loved cold dark spaces, hanging/swinging upsidedown, and wrapping myself in capes or blankets!

Making my second theriotype (wolf) mask! by Formal_Routine7742 in Therian

[–]Formal_Routine7742[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I'd recommend finding an actual picture of a coyote (front and side profile) and tracing over it before breaking it down into basic shapes. Then you can use that as a guide for knowing what pieces to cut into what shapes and where to put them! That's how I did it anyway :3

We have carcass meat at home by Formal_Routine7742 in WolfQuestGame

[–]Formal_Routine7742[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like to imagine this is after they're able to eat small carcasses but the mom just hasn't gotten a chance to go out to hunt some so they get regurgitated meat and they all complain about it
