My favorite animals ≽(•⩊ •マ≼

  

 Hello :3c welcome!

My favorite animals - im really passionate about this topic since im autistic and over the years, my favorite animals played a huge role in my life and my identity changed within the ones I felt most connected to.

    They are very special to me, some resonate with me on a deeper level while others I just find cute with not much symbolism or backstory connected to them! Im planning on posting a dive into most or all the animals I loved through my life!! (っ'ω`c)

    You might notice that I use a lot of "connected" and have a lot of favorite movies and series and animals I adore but that's just me. Sorry not sorry!!!!!!!!

1) SEALS! 

My love for seals has grown mostly over the last year, when I decided to stop categorizing myself so much and kinda let myself be outside the boxes I always put myself in.. ahead of yes, labels... 

One of the movies I find nostalgic but I haven't really watched when I was little is the song of the sea by cartoon saloon. That's how I learned about selkies (women-seals) and they became one of my favorite fantastic and mythological creatures since then! Cartoon saloon and their movie trilogy really touch my heart and made me really curious of irish culture. (^_^)

I think my favorite kind is the harp seal, they weight around 130kg when they're a grownup and reach 170cm length! I absolutely adore them, their pups remind me of mochi ice cream (you can see them on the photos). :3c 

Currently I even own 3 seal plushies my love gave me!!! I love them very dearly and they're very well taken care of!!!  Although I crave for more seal themed stuff.. cute...... ( ^ω^ )

2) WOLVES

One of my favorite animals since I was little. Yes, I indeed was a wolf kid. My favorite wolf media as a child would probably be those feral heart mvs xD Theyre really important to me and sometimes im upset I see so many people just turning them to alpha jokes - yeah they're funny sometimes but I feel a little sorrow seeing that they are just turned into a joke now . . . 

Now.. one of my beloved movies is wolf children - I really relate to the characters and am deeply connected to the story, besides, I also adore Wolfwalkers<3I often depict myself as a wolf too, since I was little it's always been wolves - kind off to show how odd I feel in society growing up as an undiagnosed autistic girl.

I don't have a favorite type of wolf honestly, but I used to love love love maned wolves! They're really tall and have a mohawk all the way from their head to the ribs. Theyre often mistaken for foxes and they're the biggest canine representative in South America (^_^)

 Few of my fursonas in the past were maned wolves, I really loved them but I feel like they still belong to the past version of me ^^"

3) HORSES

This is a sensitive topic for me. (/)ω(\#)

I LOVE HORSES. This is my favorite animal since I was tiny. My little pony, star stable online, Alicia online, schleigh, mustang... I have all been there . . . .

(RIP to blogger who can't handle my formatting (｀Д´#)ﾉ ﾑｷｰ.....

Although I had a phase where I got a little emmberassed of liking horses so much when I saw people making fun of horse girls:( I didn't know it yet but this made me abandon my special interest and give up the joy from enjoying equestrian media. I still feel sorry for little me :c I used to have horses everywhere!!! Im going back 1!!! (ʃƪᵕωᵕ)

I never actually learned how to ride and visited a real stable only once, when I was little, and I got scared because the horse I was meant to ride was super big and I was tiny!!! I don't blame myself for it but I wish I had picked up horse riding.. I always hear that people are doing it as their hobby or used to and i I know horses need a lot of money to keep them in the stable, take care of them, get all the procedures and all.. so as someone struggling mentally I don't know if I could take this responsibility now, also I saw how badly you can get hurt and all other stuff so I hope ill pick it up some day.

 

Besides normal horses I also dove in unicorn mythology, pegasuses, alicorns.... QILINS. I love them so much, in the past I usually associated myself with Pegasuses but now that im more grown up I think mythological unicorns are my thing :3c In my little pony always loved pinkie pie but now I relate mostly to twilight and derpy (im a proud brony bye) . . . . . I think the only horses I don't like in particular are arabic horses... and I think ponies aren't really my thing but yeah arabics look like seahorses idk im not a fan </3

Recently I decided to embrace my love for horses despite everything that made me distance myself from my beloved animals a while ago. I love drawing horses, and watching them! Recently, I mean, its complicated and I should probably make a separate post about it so EHMM.. long story short , , , I watched umamusume when I was younger and now I decided mmm 2026 new year and also year of the horse . . . ITS TIME TO COME BACK and I realized since I watched it they released few more seasons and im actually insufferable now. THE SPECIAL INETEREST HAS COME BACK AND IM READY FOR IT. ✾(〜 ☌ω☌)〜✾

Thanks to umamusume I dove deep into japanese race horse history so that's also a thing . . .UHM . . . I also don't have one favorite Uma !!! But ones I tend to look for when I see a post with pretty derby is still in love which backstory I like and I wish she was available on international already T^T and Meisho Doto!( ＾ω＾ ) OKAY I SHOULD FINISH HERE ITS NOT A POST ABOUT UMA

 

4) LONG HAIRED CHIHUAHUA 

Okay compared to horses and my other favorites they may seem a little surface level but I think they're really overhated!!! ૮・ᴥ・ა

Chihuahuas aren't aggressive. Theyre cute and should be taken care of properly, and no, Pablo, constantly crossing your dogs boundaries won't make them like you more . . . -_-

I think they're cute and princess. I prefer the long haired than the usual chihuahua but they're still cute ! ^^

 

5) CATS

I decided to divide them into my two favorite breeds!(^_^)

<-- SCOTTISH FOLD

So underrated <3 I find them super adorable. I love that their tail is usually chunkier and shorter than usual cats tail and their flopped years.. *_* cuteness.

I love them in every mold, shorthair, long.. cute cute! ( •ω•ฅ)

 

<-- EXOTIC SHORTHAIR

I LOVE them ! I know I say that often but its tru,,, exotic shorthair is breed from Persian cats, they have huge eyes, very round build and I just can't resist their charm !!!!

I didnt mention it before, so here comes the trivia - I also adored cats since I was little! Surprise,,, I know,,, I really relate to cats as an autistic girl, we share a lot character traits. Value space, repetitive routine, can come off as weird or unapproachable, need for authentic and direct communication. . . I think no matter what I'll always prefer cats over dogs. they can take care of them self, aren't overly trusting and etc.. I also grew up with a cat I found on the streets in primary school! I love you L<33 ૮ฅ・ﻌ・აฅ

AAAANNNDD That's it! I thought of dropping some honorable mentions but im sure there will be more changes to rant on my favorite species and I wanted to include my top tops!!! ( '• ω • `)

Omg I started this at 9am and its almost 12pm guys its time to go XD HAVE A NICE DAYYY

ps. I thought about posting weekly (when I get back to school) or few times a week, I have a few topics prepared as you can probably see on the side so I hope I won't run out of them quickly and even if I did Im surely going to find some other >:3

ଘ( ･ω･)_/ﾟ･:* Thanks for reading ! Take care !  :･｡
