Shifts

So obviously shifts are a important part of the alterhuman community, but we experience them differently. I will talk about my experience with shifts.

So to get one thing straight, I get mostly dog shifts, since I'm a Maine coon suntherian. I also just awoke as impkin, so while I think I may have shifted I can't really say.

Here are the basic definitions and what I have felt(you can scroll through if u want :p just know ur missing the entire point)

Common Therianthropic Shifts

(MS or m-shift)
A change in mindset, thinking more like the theriotype.

I get these, but they are super short. Mostly my canine theriotype, i'll just get zoomies, a lil burst of energy, usually by myself

(PE-shift)
Perceiving things in a way which is more associated with the theriotype.

I'll become more alert. I think thats probably cat but IDK

Shifting occurs during a certain emotional state, e.g. stress or anger; usually with another type of shift.

nope just species dysphoria :DDD yay...

(DS or d-shift)
Becoming an animal within a dream, either partially or entirely.

I WISH!!! I HAVE TRIED SO MANY FREAKING TIMES!!!! UFHJK,LKDBYVSGH[JO

(C)
Feeling like an animal that is not a known theriotype.

Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuup- wait have I? yeah a wolf. I really want to howl (and do sometimes on accident) I just don't identify as a wolf, though they r super cool :D

Other Therianthropic Shifts

(A)
The shape or form of an auric field or life energy field changes to that of the theriotype.

Suprisingly yeah, I'll feel like paws, but its more the energy of them, then them being the paw, it might be confusing, but u don't need to care 

Strong emotions push away the human side, including empathy and logical decision-making; can be voluntary and involuntary

Uh-huh I rarely feel empathy, not sure if thats connected or not might just be my personality- suntherian fun x3 also my impkin, so I can be a bit cold (im so evil muahahahahha)

(S or S-shift)
The spirit takes on the form or shape of the theriotype, while the physical body remains unchanged/

I think so. When I'm laying in bed and I can't see myself, I feel like a dog mostly, because size

Therian's mental image/awareness of themselves changes to closer reflect that of their kintype; similar to a phantom shift, but lacks actual phantom sensation.

Yeah, what I experienced laying in bed, but also with a tails and ears in the daytime.

otherkin and therian shifting are mostly the same, leaving out some in the otherkin side, like koita shifting for obvious reasons

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATS IT
