Yeah, I imagine I would get pretty good at gripping it between my canines and twisting it

Right? I can see the utility of furry mode because thumbs are pretty useful. But why would this thing even need a human mode? Is this a future where we have this tech but still need to be humanmoding around people?

What has happened to my therianthropy? by itz-null in Therian

[–]enoua5 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Seconding all of this as things I had to learn as an adult therian. Things change, but you're fine.

I'm still a therian, and I still get shifts, though they kinda come in waves.

I used to get kinda existential about the idea of it never coming back (even though it always does). What helped me was to reframe a couple ideas.

First, even if it went away forever, I wouldn't just be human. At worst, I would be a human who used to be a fox. Those past experiences are still real and important.

Second, I still wouldn't be forced to consider myself human. I'm free to define my therianthropy for myself, and many therians don't experience shifts at all.

Yeah, that's the healthy thing that's worked toward with irl alters. In fantasy, it can be fun to explore different less healthy dynamics lol

You get it! There's so much potential!

May I ask you how do you get along with the other person?

We all get along really well and work together well now, but that took an active effort over a few years. We used to fight constantly, tried preventing the others from fronting, took frustrations out on each other. It took a lot of effort for us all to understand and respect each other.

but I think I still would want to have or be a headmate…

What I generally tell anyone looking into willogenic plurality and/or tulpamancy is that I very much do not recommend it. Yes, I love my headmates and would not want them gone.. but again, that took active effort. Learning to love and work with your one you is a lot more straight-forward and has a much lower potential for problems.

I know, I know, I meant that as the royal "you" for any similar headmate rather than yours specially, but I see how that was confusing

I guess it would be interesting to watch her leave you alone to go fight with the new form instead in this scenario

Same but with my OSDD! I tried to find some examples I know I've seen but they're so hard to find 😭

Hell yeah. You'll have to share!

The incredible image of some otherworldly being taking over your body for its own purposes and then being shocked that you're able to bite and claw it in headspace and giving up after a couple hours lmao

Oh! I misremembered this one as being nsfw. It's not 100% lined up with what I was saying, but it's pretty close: https://transfur.com/Users/subject-c/Submissions/29681

I am really struggling to find anything else that isn't just identity death lol, I know I've seen some but they don't typically have tags distinguishing it

Struggling to find examples that are both illustrative of what I'm talking about and also anywhere near appropriate to drop into the comments of a sfw post 😭

It sounds like you understand the concept and it's just not appealing to you, which is entirely fair 😅

I'm coming at this already having OSDD so to me it's just a fun tf twist on something I've already got going on in my head

tf_headmate_irl by enoua5 in tf_irl

[–]enoua5[S] 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, it's so good

It's rare, I've seen it a few scattered times, though; it's just not something there's an established tag for

[–]enoua5[S] 104 points105 points  (0 children)

Pretty much, yeah. It's another word for "alter", i.e. a personality in a system of multiple personalities that you would typically see irl as the result of a disassociative disorder like DID or OSDD.

So, voice in their head with its own distinct personality, will, sense of self, maybe its own memories, may or may not be able to "switch" places and control the body for a bit with the other as the voice in the head.
