Quads is fun but on stuff like tiktok it's become the only thing therians do. Other than that it's a good exercise and there's no harm as long as you stretch before. It's a good way to connect with theriotypes for me but it could be different for others and not everyone can do quads. It's just an exercise in my opinion

Seconding this as exercise does wonders for anyone who's able to get moving and grooving. So long as they're taking care of themselves, I feel its all good.

I used to do the running part as a child, and even more recently, but my body is getting older and I worry about injury. I don't think I'd attempt a jump.

I see no issue with it. To each their own I always say! I've personally thought of giving them a go but I don't really have a space to do that that's large enough at this moment. That, and I have a back injury from work that I'd rather not unnecessarily agitate, lol.

In my opinion quads are fun. Certain areas in your body works all at once so to me I don't gotta worry about working out little by little when I can get it over with lol. Its also my favorite sport. I just think it's annoying when SOME videos give out the wrong info.

If anyone is going to do quads remember to stretch correctly before doing so to avoid injuries.

ooh, interesting. i think im a bit late to this post but i have a daemon so im fairly well versed on that subsection of tulpamancy. id be happy to answer questions about daemons too.

In my opinion, therian names are fine as long as you understand that you are your theriotype. I do have a therian name, that name being Evergreen, and I do have a reason for said name:

Basically, I believe that in this life, my soul is part human and part lion. I also like to think that your name is a part of your soul, because it's a part of your identity and who you are. But, I have two parts to my soul. My human side of the soul has a human name, but since I also have a lion side to my soul, when I name that something different it's still MY name. For me personally, it would feel strange for both sides of my soul to have the same name.

There are also spiritual/symbolic reasons for it but that's kind of hard to put into words and it's also pretty personal.

But, I can definitely see where you are coming from, and it could certainly cause confusion for newer therians and make them think that your theriotype is a different entity.

At least in my experience, your therian name is also your name, and only when one does not go by their therian name, it generally may stray from the definition of therianthropy.

(Sorry if this is badly written, I just woke up )

In my opinion, naming your theriotype is just fine. Here’s why:

It is an animal soul in a human body. The human body has a human name, the animal soul may have an animal name- but doesn’t have to.

Just my opinion, you guys points of view make a lot of sense as well!

I think that there are 2 causes of therianthropy with cause like trauma and adaptations due to environmental factors in childhood (e.g being raised around animals) but then stuff like past lives on the other hand. I belive in a mixture of both myself and that people with or without past lives can be therians.
