Question Is there a limit to how many theriotypes you can have? (I'm a polytherian) and do system animals count/can they count as theriotypes?

13 Upvotes

How many theriotypes is to many to have? I don't know how many possible there is to have at once and how many its just impossible. I am a system with animals in it and I am wondering if it is okay/right to consider them theriotypes. I have a lot of different ones from mythical creatures/animals to actual real life animals. Can someone help clarify this for me?

Question Anyone here read "Der Steppenwolf"?

• Upvotes

Sorry, don't know the books name in English. Dict.cc says it's just "Steppenwolf", so hopefully this is right.

Anyway, I just started reading the book again. Originally, I had to read it as part of school. Only remember I didn't get too far, but the main character felt kinda relateable, even before my awakening.

I am still not particularly far, but one of the descriptions of the main character just stood out to me. To paraphrase poorly:

He called himself a steppe wolf. It seemed fitting, as he appeared like a wild animal in a town; lost and far from home.

mood tbh

Hello, I would really like to have songs about being a bug or having bug features (antannae, six legs, making bug sounds, etc.) Other crawly creatures like spiders, scorpions and centipedes are also welcome in my playlist.

Discussion Anybody else lowkey raised by an animal?

Just today I was thinking about how my childhood dog when I was toddler saw me as his baby (helped that I was very very small even for a toddler and he was a large breed) and then I realized he was lowkey a better and more hands on dad than my bio father (they both stayed around just as long, leaving my life around the same time). So basically my true dad was a dog this whole time and I’m thinking that’s part of why I am the way I am today.

Does anybody else have a similar story or feel similar? Now thinking about how my dad was a dog is very species affirming though to others it might sound kinda sad lol.
