It's hard to say exactly what makes me feel this way, but I've always known I wasn't exactly like everyone else. I've always found greater comfort in animals or anything to do with animals. Everytime I played a game, I had to be something to do with animals. Toys? Always animals. Now I realize that maybe I was showing signs of being a therian before I even knew what it was. And as I got older, the traits never really faded. I mean, sure, they were a little more mature, but they were still there. And even now, they're still around, along with some of my traits that do connect to therianthropy. It may not make me 100% sure, but it makes me confident in my identity.

Well, to put it simply, saying ’I am human’ just never felt 100% right. Like, ever.

I’ve felt feline for as long as I can remember; as a child, I used to act out these feelings constantly, and although I’ve gotten better at controlling my instincts as I’ve gotten older, the feeling still hasn’t left.

I also felt a strong, strong sense of recognition when I’d first discovered therianthropy (although I was initially very skeptical of it). It was like something had finally clicked, I had an explanation for why I behaved in these ways. I can look at the leopard and serval and confidently say ’that is me’ and feel like I mean it. Other than our physical form, there is little to no difference most days between me and them. And whether I have a label or not, this is what I am and I can feel secure in that.

Glad he gets to step down, hope he gets some peace from all the work. But Im glad you got the position, im sire you'll do amazing, you should be proud. :]

As of currently, I am still unsure what makes me believe I am a therian. What I believe is that I was born as a coyote, died somehow, which I am unsure of at this time, and was reborn as a human. I also believe that the soul has both an animalistic part of it and a human part of it and that therians are just more in touch with their animalistic side of their soul, which I think is responsible for the shifting aspect of therianthropy. This is the most I can think of right now because I am still learning about things. I will try and update this later when I am more knowledgeable of the spiritual realm and just therianthropy in general.

Big Congrats to Bagi!!! I hope you have many wonderful years here! You deserve it!!!!

I thank Dusty for everything he's done for this site! I may have only been here for about a year, but ever since I joined, I've loved it here. Dusty has worked hard to have TG the way it is, and he deserves a break. I hope he enjoys his peaceful time, and he still pokes around to say hello every so often. Thanks Dust ^^

As for the torch being passed, congrats Bag on being handed ownership of TG! It'll be fun to see what you do, and I'm happy for you!

(I was gonna say more, but I completely forgot it all ToT)

Congrats Bag!! I'm glad Dusty can get some rest, but I hope we still get to see them around.

I don't even know how to express my ridiculous mix of emotions I'm having right now. Like, oh my gosh yay! Congratulations! I'm not at all surprised that you were picked to be the new owner, you are absolutely the best pick imo. But also, I got "can't handle change" neurodivergence so I'm like, freaking out a little internally. But yay!

Hey guys,

This has been completed so everything should be back up and running.
