A poem I wrote ^V^ #therianArt

'I am a hyacinth macaw' by Hy McCaw


Can you see
The macaw in me?
In whom sprouted the seed
Of melancholy

This human flesh
That forms a mesh
Confining me
So none can see
The macaw in me

Not a competition - sounds like it's more about the purrticipation than anything.

So far, no deadline has been posted.

And is there a time limit for how long this is going to be going on?

This is something I worked up for Therianthropy Day 2017.

I know it's also posted elsewhere on TG but it seems relevant. The piece reflects my view of the world as a part (sometimes, apart) of it.

This is a bird therian pride flag @Baumarius and I designed together.

Is it just art that counts? Can poetry, videos, literature, and guides to things count too?

I colored it with the coloring program @SheilaGrace wrote about ahahahaha x3

Hey guys,

We're doing a thing! An art thing!

During the course of this campaign, we will be accepting art submissions. The art has to have something to do with a Therian Experience. Draw your last mental or phantom shift. Record the sound of a sensory shift. Anything you like!

For each accepted submission, the author will be rewarded with 300 points and the piece will be published on the Therian Guide Facebook page. So many of you are fantastic artists, so we are really excited to see what you come up with.

Feel free to either reply on this thread, or post your submission in the Share Your Creativity board. Simply tag your post with #therianArt to participate!

If there are any questions, feel free to ask!

LP,
Dusty

I'd like to bump this and remind all of out young members that the staff here works around the clock to keep you safe from anyone who's intent may bode ill.

The thing is, with our territory having expanded past the forums and onto Discord and such, it's a lot to keep up with and this is where you, the pups, play a vital role in helping us.

If you read something, anything that makes you feel uncomfortable, from any member at any time, please don't hesitate in letting one of us know or, if you'd feel better talking to someone closer to your own age, our wonderful, trustworthy and caring @SnowFall is an excellent pup representative and can report things to us, if needed.

Do we always take action based on a report?

No. I'd say that more often than not our conclusion has been that something ended up being a misunderstanding or a miscommunication between two members

Will we take action if necessary?

Absolutely! As a parent and as the co-owner of Therian Guide, I can tell you that nothing is more important!

Regardless of if we take action or not, we will do everything within our power to keep things in strict confidentiality. Whatever you tell us will stay with us, as will your identity. The last thing we want is to make you feel embarrassed or even more uncomfortable.

Thanks, stay safe and enjoy TG

Hello,

This thread exists because people Googled "finding your therian name" or "figure out your therian name" and found us. I thought I'd talk about this a little bit.

Many therians believe they have become or are therians for psychological reasons. Amongst those of us, naming your theriotype makes no sense. Your theriotype is what you are, it is not a separate entity and therefore has... your name, because it is you. Your theriotype is also an animal and wild animals tend not to use names to refer to one-another.

Now it is possible that you are domestic animal therian who has some kind of past life experience in the context of which you "had" a name.

As some of you will also mention, there is a section about Therian Names on the website, on the Spiritual Therianthropy page. I am not a Spiritually identifying therian and I don't want to be inconsiderate of other people's beliefs. I suppose it's possible that you think you are a therian for spiritual reasons and you see some kind of deeper meaning in giving your animal aspect a name.

But it is far from any kind of "first step" as it is often seen and within the community the whole idea of it is generally frowned upon.

There are multiple good threads discussing the subject further:

• Therian Names
• Names
  

Happy (belated) Therianthropy Day!

BearX - thanks for the link and additional information! I saw something about the "howlyday" a week or so ago but lost the source so I wasn't sure of the exact date. It's nice to have some source material!

I celebrated in my own way by working up some art for the day in advance, then spending as much of the day as possible outdoors with my fuzzy and non-fuzzy family members.

Kinda bummed out that missed out on some great lunar photography, though!
