“Fluidity and Fragmentation” (3/21/2008) Fluidity: Shifting and Integration Shortly after I became active in the therianthropy community I came to realize the emphasis on subtypes of therians, which still remains currently yet with a little less emphasis than in 2005. Fortunately, I never really tried to squeeze myself into one
“Upbringing, Imprintation, and Self-Development” (11/19/2007) This essay is more accurately on some of the main effects my upbringing has had on my therianthropy, in which some of that may have included forms of imprinting.

Awereness Forums 2005 Introduction Why do you think you have the therioside(s) you do? Why do you believe you have them? What is your connection to your therioside? Why are you your therioside, and not something else? Personally, to me, I feel I can’t reduce my belief and connection of
