Therian Mask - Blog Posts

Ummmm..... I know this pic is bad but This is my most resent/new mask and it's a purple cat(if you didn't guess). rate on a scale of 1-10!! 1 being awful and 10 being flawless!! Pls no hate (TwT)

Ok. So, first things first. I finished my first mask ever! I'm so proud of myself tbh

Second of all, I met two therians and we played together all day yesterday!!! It was so fun! We wore our masks, we went swimming, we were doing quads all day, we went on a boat, it was so fun!!! Omg, I just can't!!! I'm so happy! I'm meeting them again today AAAAAAÆÆÆ

Mask updateeeee!!! 🐕☢️

I touched up the paint a bit and gave myself some more fluff >:]

New mask! Raccoon >:]

It's meee! It looks a little patchy in some of the darker parts, so I may fix that and add fur as well, but I think it turned out pretty cool. The eyes are also a little off putting so I might change em >:

I really like making masks and realized I never really showed any of them. This is my main personal mask of my dog theriotype :D

The eyes glow in the dark >:]

Sumatran tiger mask! My best yet by far, if slightly wonky in the muzzle.

I’m really proud of the nose this time, I did a little bit of shaping with hot glue and covered it in felt and it looks so good this time!!

The eyeholes are still accidentally tiny but are actually perfect for my irises! My dad said it genuinely freaked him out a bit when I showed it to him because “the eyes aren’t supposed to move”

I made it for a mask trade so I don’t have it anymore :')

Brown mink rosetted charcoal bengal mask (feat. my tiniest cousin modelling it)

Tried making the nose entirely out of hot glue and it still sucks a bit. Also used alcohol markers for the first time, I love them so much they’re so much more precise than finger painting with dye lmao

Cheetah mask! I had to try glueing the nose on three times and it’s just not hitting the spot 😔

Really proud of the eyes, though!

my fren took the photos

FINALLY...

My spotted hyena mask is finished!! A little reminder that my camera's color looks a bit more saturated than the real one, but Im so proud of it!! I resonated with this mask immediately. <3

no, you don’t need to wear your mask/tail to school.

i wish young nonhumans didn’t feel compelled to be ‘out’ at school, especially when it’s a dangerous environment. i keep seeing posts along the lines of “wore my tail/mask to school! people berated/teased/put their hands on me, but it’s ok”.

no, it’s not.

like.. i understand a mask or a tail can be a very validating thing for some people. and i’m not saying NO ONE should wear them at schools. but i just keep watching this mounting trend of young therians insinuating you need some physical accessory or to do quads to be a ‘real’ nonhuman. and then it leads to things like this and it makes me incredibly sad.

i’d known i was alterhuman since late elementary school, actually. it’s a huge part of my life even now, years after graduation. there wasn’t a reason for it to be brought up, so i never did. it was a closely guarded secret to me, but it didn’t feel like a weight i was carrying. i always thought “no one needs to know i’m an animal if it jeopardizes my safety. so, oh well”.

“but, how will people know that i’m an animal?”

they probably will. they probably already do.

i was the designated ‘animal’ person my entire school career despite not ever handling animals in front of anyone. if there were pets, lost wild animals (baby rabbits, birds, lizards), or sometimes even loose livestock that got onto campus, it was always me who had to go tend to them.

everyone wanted me in their group in environmental science. if a project called for animal illustrations, the same thing would happen. it was certainly weird because i was also a ‘weird kid’ and not especially desired to be around outside of that, lol. but i was never harassed for it. it made me feel very validated, actually.

i had fun during gym running and fiercely destroying the opposing team in field hockey. i taught everyone which plants were okay to forage (and we snacked on them when we had to sit on the lower field for practice). every day i was hyperaware of the limbs i had that weren’t quite there. friends noticed my ears twitch and my nose wiggle at certain stimuli. i felt nice walking on two legs. i felt nice because i felt animal and i didn’t have to prove it to anyone.

really like… just do what makes you happy. i admire the bravery it takes to so earnestly wear your identity on your sleeve like that. that’s very impressive. however, there is NO obligation to do anything like that if you understand that there will be a reaction that poses a threat to you.

i want our kids to be safe, too. you don’t have to feel dysphoria over being discreet. sometimes it’s the safest option. and sometimes, that can be really fun, too.

study everything you can about your ‘type. wikipedia and animalia are good resources. ramble about them to anyone who will listen. jokingly refer to yourself as one in friend spaces. wear discreet clothes that remind you of your ‘type. find a nice private place outside where you can run and explore and look at plants and smell the air and feel like yourself. but by no means do you have to prove yourself. you know you.
