Hello!! I first discovered the concept from a youtube short. IIRC, it was by nxmi? I don't remember if it's still up, but they jumped towards the camera. I was OBSESSED and binged a ton of their quads content. Ensue a summer of me trying to figure out my theriotype, practicing quadrobics, aaaaand. Hmm. I don't remember much else lol. It was fun, though.
Eventually, I decided that wolf fits me best. I've never really gotten it down to the exact subspecies- Gray wolves are closest to me, but I won't lie and say himalayan wolves don't make me go man!! Why isn't that me?!
I gave up on quads pretty much after the summer, since I didn't have much time to practice or enjoy them that much. I spent a lot of time last year ironing out things- figuring out a version of my sona that was me with wolf ears, and eventually making a fursona. I read Homestuck and was fascinated to see language I recognized in the comic.
These days, I'm going through another identity crisis. I figure I'll be out of it eventually! I'd still call myself a wolf, but that doesn't feel quite right lol. However it goes in the future, I'm glad I got a chance 2 start figuring myself out, and like who I was for a year or so.
