I can't understand much the "don't know what I am - don't know what I look like" logic about your third theriotype since for me it works quite differently. When I soulsearched to pin down specific species it was more that I had a pretty good idea of what it felt like, what I was like, and then it helped in finding out answers. Not the other way around. It's not that I had a very specific image in my head, but I knew things, words, feelings - mammal/feline, bird/corvine, arboreal/jungle, long tail, average size, talons and such as. It's not about visualization, it's about senses and inner-perception or somethin'. I don't know what it's called. Yeah it's about relating or resonating or connecting, but actually much more than that. It just is.

Thanks for sharing your writing, I know it's frustrating to not be able to make people understand what being you is like. I'm very puzzled at the moment but then I also don't think a lot of people understand what it's like to be clouded leopard and raven and human simultaneously, like I don't know what it's like to be a polywere, let alone with your level of vagueness. Food for thoughts.
