So What Is Theriocentricity?
For Raymond G. Taylor's Definition Challenge
Introduction
This is for Raymond G. Taylor's word definition challenge which you can read about here.
So what does it mean?
The Research
If you do a Google search, all that came up for me was Ray's posts although I think that might change as Vocal Creators come up with what they think it means.
So I thought I would split it up
First of all, "Therio":
So basically like a wild beast or beastly.
Then centricity:
So basically, centred on being wild and beastly, that is the researched definition.

Glasvegas
To get lost in this black and white city under Van Gogh's spiral skies is an adventure like no other. What will we find in these dark streets? Will it be love or salvation, or a hooded mysterious creature with too many eyes and a hook for a hand?

A Love Forboding
The chipped stone slope caused unbearable footing. I slid, skirting on my heels. I cast my shield, relinquishing my guard to stay upright. Left with my double-edge and a prayer to the maker, I skated toward my objective. The earthly stubble gave way to solid ground. I found myself restored, a trail of dust in my wake.

You lost me at Temu. Shady operation if ever there was one.
I'm normally not drawn to stories with visual aids in the middle, but it helped here as you broke the word down into its parts. I was reminded of heliocentricity! I would have thought something along the lines of religion or belief with the "theo" part. Like the limerick- definitely hard to see a clear meaning to a word like this!
Well, that's an interesting word, now isn't it
My meaning is one of animals coming together and just maybe learning about each other friend and/or enemy. What a great limerick.
Yes, centred on being wild and beastly, I like that. As in "Oh, Jeff... I love you too... but... your are just too wild and beastly to me. You need to see a doctor about that theriocentricity of yours..." Well done and thanks for joining it.
I had trouble understanding "theocentricity" too. Your breakdown of "therio" and "centricity" helps. Google searches didn't clear things up for me either. Maybe others will have better luck.
And then there's me who came up with an unhinged meaning π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£ Loved your take on this!
This sounds like fun.
