What are each of these pages on the sidebar supposed to be for?
Home Page is… the home page, Blog Posts is a list/archive of blog posts that I’ve made up to this point, Websites is a list of online resources that I find to be either interesting or invaluable in some way,
File Pile is where I host some of my personal or found files that are available for download, PC Corner is basically where I show off my various computers, and, frankly, if you need to ask what 18+ Zone is
for then you’re probably too young to look at it anyways.
Who’s the little bastard in the banner?
That’s me! ...or the closest approximation I could make. An artist I am not.
What’s your schedule for new posts?
That's funny.
What’s the whole raptor thing about? What’s that pride flag in the page footer?
That’s the nonhuman/alterhuman pride flag. I’m a deinonychus therian.
What’s a therian?
Therianthropy is a fairly broad subject, but to provide you a brief answer:
a therian is an individual that identifies as an animal or creature that isn’t human. This can be rooted in different aspects of one’s life depending on the individual, such as spirituality or psychology.
There is no one “universal” way to experience therianthropy – it’s unique for almost everybody.
There are, however, some common ways in which it can manifest. Here are a few:
- Phantom shifts
- Body dysphoria
- Animalistic behaviors
Feeling something similar to animal limbs or extremities on your body, even if they aren’t physically there. This can involve tails, horns, wings, anything really.
A deep, persistent feeling of not belonging in your body, or like it doesn’t represent you. This is easily mistaken for gender dysphoria, though you can absolutely experience both at once.
Thought and/or behavior patterns that are similar to or consistent with an animal species.
For me, personally, I spent years trying to match my appearance with my gender identity before realizing that what I had been pursuing was something that’s physically impossible to achieve.
It’s a horrible feeling at first, chasing a reality you can never have. But there's middle class office workers peddling get-rich-quick schemes in hopes of making it big, and there's celebrities getting botox to look younger,
and there's politicians accepting donations from PACs that wake up every morning telling themselves they still have a soul. There's a lot of people in the world chasing a reality that they can never have. I'm not what they are...
but in a way, I'm one of them. Life is weird.
If you want to learn more, therian-guide.com is a great resource. There is a lot of misinformation about us online, so I’d advise double checking information before making any immediate assumptions.
Okay, but why raptor sex?
Because the URL was really cheap and I thought it was funny. The self-realization some time afterwards was just a happy accident.
Your site is busted on mobile devices!
It sure is! I am not very good at CSS, and I originally designed this site with 1280 x 1024 monitors in mind. (I’ll fix it at some point, I just need to know what I'm doing.)
You’re hosting my content without my permission. Can you please remove it?
Absolutely! Most content that isn't mine is added to this site through direct links (e621, furaffinity, etc.) and isn't actually stored locally, so if it gets taken down from those sites, it should disappear from my site as well.
Either way, please email me at shanksbasil@pm.me and I’ll have it removed as soon as possible.
If I find the adult content hosted on your site objectionable, how can I have it removed?
To request that the objectionable content be taken down, please fill out this form.
If you’re writing most of these questions prior to anybody asking them, then are they really “frequently asked?” Aren’t they just more like “asked once by you?”
Why are you thinking about it that hard? To make my life harder? Rude.
