I Love Them So Much,,, I Made Furrification Hope U Dont Mind

Suburban Coyote

A flag for therians and alterhumans who identify as/with suburban coyotes (coyotes that live in suburban/exurban environments), who identify as coyotes and also live in the suburbs/exurbs, or who generally identify with the idea of being a wild animal that’s had to persevere and adapt to a suburban environment!

This flag and identity are intended as a companion to the urban coyote flag I posted here; that version can be used as an umbrella term for both of these identities or as a term specifically for the urban/city-dwelling version of the identity, while this one is specifically referring to suburbs/exurbs!

I, personally, am a coyote therian who lives in an exurban environment (the area where I live is much more rural than the suburbs, but is still connected to nearby urban and suburban areas); the fact that my location is fairly rural, with lots of forests and farmland, means that it’s not an area of discomfort for me, but I still feel like living in a somewhat urban area affects my identity as a wild animal. Furthermore, as I mentioned in my urban coyote post, coyotes and other wild animals that live in developed/human-dominant areas have to adapt and change their behavior to survive in those habitats, which is a concept that I believe many therians and alterhumans can relate to!

Alternate versions (without coyote ears and tail; without ears, tail, and theta delta)

If there’s another alternate version of this flag you’d like me to create (eg. with a different alterhuman symbol, etc.) just send me an ask!!

(this flag is free to use with credit; my askbox is open for requests for therian/alterhuman icon edits, moodboards, flags, etc.!!)

when someone asks you if you want to be a parent someday and you have to lie and say idk instead of "yeah just probably not to human children"

I wish ppl talked more often abt how therianthropy/non-humanity can potentially impact your entire life. I dont just mean having to deal with smaller scale things like daily shifts or species dysphoria (although those can also definitely have long term impacts), I mean like how it can very literally change the trajectory of your life.

Because of my wildebeest theriotype, I have an extremely strong desire to live a nomadic lifestyle, and I 1000% plan to do so as soon as I know how to do it safely/get the money. I will likely never be fully content staying in any one place for a long period of time, I will always seek out drastic and extended types of traveling, which is gonna really impact me down the line given the current structure of human society.

it's like

"ah yes, Im so glad fiction doesn't actually have any impact on the real world or me as an individual unless I consciously allow it to!" said zuko from avatar the last airbender while standing in the walmart self checkout line waiting to buy some AA batteries

being fictionkin and proship at the same time gotta be the single biggest contradiction ever

Just wanted to throw this out there rq but just to make it clear I love receiving messages from folks and am super duper okay with DM's !!

Otherlink is valid, "chosen therians" are not.

The definition of therianthropy is that it must be involuntary on some level. That's literally like, the basic principle the identity is founded upon. I am absolutely not one for label policing, but that is main core experience of therianthropy. Saying you're "chosen therian" is the equivalent of saying you're "chosen transgender" or "chosen neurodivergent", and what exactly does that start to sound an awful lot like?

cough cough transid cough

"Chosen therians" are super not welcome here lol, please stop misusing our terminology to make yourself feel like part of a community you have no experience truly being part of. I promise you being otherlink is just as awesome.

Sincerely, a therian and otherlinker <3

( p.s. I would also just like to throw it out there that the inventor of the term "chosen therian" ((cwaligo / dxq.therian)) is a 22 year old who owns a discord server full of predominantly 11-15 year olds who frequently romanticize and give each other tips on how to self harm and develop eating disorders, I wish I was kidding, I was briefly in it and reported a solid ten accounts for being under 13 and/or promoting dangerous behaviors before I got banned. So uh yeah.)

Physical therians are valid,

Chosen therians are valid,

Mentally ill therians are valid,

Delusional therians are valid,

Traumatized therians are valid,

And all of you need to SHUT THE FUCK UP about them before I start making blocklists of your pathetic asses.
