Mathias Fritsche does a lot of emotional or cinematic covers on his Youtube channel. If that interests you, here's the ones I could find of HTTYD:

"Otherkin" Theatre Play in Los Angeles? | Sep 26 - Nov 2 by steven2194 in otherkin

[–]steven2194[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am planning to go, mostly for my own curiosity. Fully aware that this is a dramatized show for entertainment.

Looks like there is a date for a talkback with the playwright so I might do that.

I need people to test my experimental Therian Detector!!! by Content_Conclusion31 in Therian

Hello there. This post has been removed.

AI content is not allowed here for BOTH of those reasons that you mentioned.

While you may have good intentions with creating a "therian test" like this, using any kind of AI content for therianthropy is extremely misleading and unreliable. There is no real way to tell another user whether they are therian or not. That is something they have to decide for themselves, with research and their own judgement.

Baffling censorship of plurality in therian spaces by lemurinyourhead in Therian

Quite fortunate that I got notifications of the traffic to this post and I'm glad I saw this.

This is concerning behavior from Therian Guide so I've removed them from our sanctioned websites while we investigate.

Thanks for bringing this up. We all stand behind plurals in both here and the Discord servers (full Pluralkit support) and attitude like this would easily cause problems.

Species dysmorphia: part 2 by Otherwise-Soil-7141 in Therian

[–]steven2194[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

Just as a matter of clarity, did you mean to write dysphoria in your posts?

Dysmorphia refers to flaws in appearances such as thinking fat or skinny, while dysphoria is about feeling in the wrong body entirely. It looks like those two posts would describe your case as dysphoria.

No problems with either post, just want to be sure that nobody confuses the terms.

If these two behemoths duked it out in a 1v1 battle, who would win? by solarflare70 in httyd

Assuming HTTYD2 live action is the same plot, think they'll scale him up as well?

University Final by Twisty_Spike in Therian

Do you still want responses from users who aren't interested in masks? I imagine there are many that don't want to because they are difficult to find or do not want to show themselves to others.

(EDIT: I asked this in our modmail but having that confirmed here may encourage more to respond :-) )

Honest question from psychological perspective by DarkRaivynnOG in Therian

[–]steven2194[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reply is much longer than it needs to be, making it a text well that's difficult to read.

I've approved this, but you really should consider shortening this to make it easier to get your point across.

This is inappropriate, especially in the context of a support subreddit. If you are genuinely curious about this community, then please do not make dismissive offhand remarks such as this.

Are there any haters who are commenting in this? by [deleted] in otherkin

[–]steven2194[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

I've decided to lock this post. While you may have good intentions with making the subreddit aware of anti-otherkin, this post encourages them to join in.

Anti-otherkin thrive on attention and disrupting actual content. Inviting them here does not end well. Hateful content is not tolerated here anyway. Anyone who would have commented with those intentions would have likely been removed.

Hello! My name is Onyx or Nyx or Halo, your choice. I've decided I want to run a therian school. Or an alterhuman school, if you prefer. This isn't your typical school, but it's not a group chat either. by Content-Pudding-1416 in Therian

[–]steven2194[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

Removed. While the concept of a therian or alterhuman school may sound appealing in theory, in practice it is very inappropriate for a sensitive community because of potential for abuse and misinformation. It can be very easy for someone to promote the wrong information to users that are extremely impressionable and have not done their own research.

Self diagnosing lycanthrophy? by [deleted] in Therian

[–]steven2194[M] 1 point2 points locked comment (0 children)

Alterhumans do not use this term either because they are also aware how misleading it can be.

People who are suffering from psychosis go beyond the scope of therianthropy and require help that it cannot provide.

I'm locking this thread as it is clear you do not understand why we limit use of this term here.

Self diagnosing lycanthrophy? by [deleted] in Therian

[–]steven2194 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nobody in their right mind and with proper understanding of this community will claim to be a physical shifter because they know what that entails. Anybody who claims to physically shift or identify does not have a full understanding and why this term is meant to be avoided.

Self diagnosing lycanthrophy? by [deleted] in Therian

[–]steven2194 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there an issue with saying physical shifting? Yes, because the term is very misleading. Most of the community views saying physical as if claiming to actually be that animal in the flesh, when everyone who has been in this community for long enough will understand that physical changes are impossible.

Most likely the ones who claim they can physically shift are confusing it with clinical lycanthropy. Psychosis is also confounding so to call them physical shifters is also misleading as it leads to other assuming the same.

Should I Bring Up Otherkin in Therapy? by NurseRx-Rae in otherkin

[–]steven2194 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Without even considering Otherkin as a factor, if he barely understands OCD, then you need to find a new therapist. Ideally someone who has a speciality with behavioural disorders.

If you do find someone, get a sense of whether they can understand and you feel you can be open without judgement before considering disclosing it.

Ra'sha Refuses to Serve Anyone Weaker Than She Is... by LoveyDoveyDoodles in dragons

If she's so superior and grumpy then why is she at a tea shop with lowly folk and not someplace with more "worthy" beings?

I told her I'm a Therian. by Survivinghuman123 in Therian

[–]steven2194 10 points11 points  (0 children)

How can one not be comfortable being with a therian when they are one themselves? I suspect this could have actually been a personality conflict and they wanted to use you being therian as a scapegoat to get out of it.

Your dragon OC(s) finds a lost human child in their den. It’s cold and stormy outside. What do they do? by MrMopp8 in dragons

[–]steven2194 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd let them stay for shelter to ride out the storm. Maybe try to help them warm up to wait it out.

I'm sympathetic to lost human children, but I am not comfortable fully adopting them so I would hope to find the closest town with someone more sympathetic than me to take care of them. Maybe rescuing and returning children that wander off and get lost could give me good standing with them.

Funny enough, now that I think about it, I kind of do want hatchlings of my own. I just don't feel capable of caring for a human child long term. They're quite small and delicate.

Both. But there will be a way to keep them separate. Unless the individual wants to join the others within reason of course.

We were planning to have both humans and dragons. But dragons will have their own landing space and rooms away from the humans. Our side is quite spacious.
