The Animal Inside: Finding Yourself in Petplay with Dagger Deschiennes

So you’re a puppy: What do you want that to mean? Or you’re a handler: What do you want to cultivate?

Or you’re a feral beast, hungry spider, talking crow, or bossy little: What does that look like in petplay?

This class, for beginner and experienced players alike, explores animal roleplay beyond pet/handler stereotypes. We’ll explore (and devise our own!) unusual scenarios and dynamics, build tools for developing our animal and handler personas, and practice getting into headspace. As always, participation is optional, but folks who’ve done these exercises in the past have found them extremely helpful to do and not just watch, so you’re strongly encouraged to practice live in our little community.
