solon_kitten | Identity

Right before all hell kinda broke loose in my life, I'd started down a bit of self-reflection. Things came into light that made me look at parts of what I thought I knew about myself for the last 20+ years of my life. I blame a group of meddling dragons and their kobold and puppy for this (j/k you're all awesome love you), along with just learning more about others. Things started to fit together in ways they didn't before. Ways that worked, but in some cases did leave me a little confused.

I am TeraDyne Ezeri, daughter of Naisura, and a Legecian Prism Dragon. And yet, I could define things in ways that make a bit more sense with new information. Ways I didn't think to see my memories and feelings before. I won't go into detail here, but let's just say I'm tentatively putting the plural tag on myself, for more than a few reasons. Maybe once I fully figure it out, I'll write that up.

One tag that's definitely on me now is therian, the ΘΔ you often see on some profiles. Yeah, I'm still a dragon, but one saying is that "Dragons are just giant cats with scales". Well, that's very much me in a nutshell, as my mate Sildrae would attest to given how I act. Random zoomies into just doing nothing, being a bit of a klutz and knocking things off (sometimes deliberately to lovingly annoy him)... Yeah, let's just say part of me identifies with the feline side, and I've put up an early avatar I made from a base to kinda fulfill that side of me. I'm a bit of a kitten at heart, and it took a lot of signs from my own brain to make me realize I was on the right track a long time ago, before things happened. My mate Sildrae also helped that along with gifts, but that's for another time.

Am I gonna spin up a YouTube channel and do quadrobics like the modern therian kids? No.
Am I going to shove it into everyone's face all the time? No.
Am I going to play victim if someone tries to blast me for being myself? Bitch, I'm a dragon cat, and I've got claws.

Do I want a therian mask of my feline side? Yes. Very yes. I also want other things regarding that, but right now, priorities before pleasure, even if that pleasure is a bit of much needed self-care after years of stress.

Things have opened up to me that are making more and more sense of feelings I've had for a long time. Just wish it could've had better timing.

I'm still "gallowsgryph", because that's my fursona. Maybe a part of me, I'll be learning that over time. But I'm me, and that's what matters.
