Like I said on my main account, this one is for posts which I feel don't belong there. One topic this explicitly includes is my desire to be an animal and how I handle it with my characters and art, and other related topics. It's a significant part of who I am and sometimes I want to talk about it.
This paradox is actually one of the reasons why I avoid therian and related spaces: On the one hand, the core of it is that people "are" creatures other than human. On the other hand, the culture formed around it only highlights the fact that they are, after all, still humans.
Even if I act as my character, it doesn't change the fact that I still participate in human society as one of them, have human views and behave like one.
I also find it paradoxical to claim that I *am* the thing I wish I was because if that were truly the case, this desire wouldn't even exist.

I see where you're coming from and I think it makes sense. It works differently for me, though.
I can only say "I am a (creature)" when I'm currently acting as my character. But offline or whenever I need to look at myself from a distance, I am very definitely a human.

One way I handle this is via my online identity.
The internet is magical because everyone's perception of you is controlled by how you present yourself, detached from your physical appearance. I use this as a form of roleplay to "become" a creature which represents me more genuinely.

I always have a hard time talking about my development throughout my life. It isn't a series of clear milestones or grand realizations, but rather a continuous process where small changes accumulate over time. There's also the fact that reflecting on it automatically leads to reinterpreting it.

Using this account the same way as its fedi counterpart is going to be challenging because the latter usually gets long-form posts. It's easy when the character limit is 8192 instead of 300. 💀
