Doing this! (30th March 2025 -> with the date, because some things may change)

Also, if you want to not use the word 'kintype', because you want every alterhuman to answer the questions, I recommend writing '_type' or 'xtype'! That way, it fits everyone :3

1. If you mean only kintypes (not theriotypes, not linktypes, ect.), then it's an alien, void (conceptkin), Off fictionkin, and questioning the Ikea alien plush.

2. Basically the labels that describe me. They are listed in my pinned, but I'll also write them here: alterhuman/nonhuman, kinfluid, otherlink, otherkin (and it's subterms), therian, quoiian fictionflicker

3. I knew about my alien identity since I was a child, but found out about the term alterhuman around 2 years ago. I saw a tiktok video of a person doing quads, and thought that it looks fun. I did some basic research about theriantrophy and other alterhuman terms. I found out that it's not just having fun and running on all fours - it's an identity.

4. My favourite _types are going to be the one that I experience in a fun and enjoyable way. So: fairy linktype, eastern quoll linktype, alien kintype, barn owl theriotype.

5. My eastern quoll linktype!

6. Off fictotype. Mostly, because I'm ashamed of my source... And also my void kintype. The shifts and general experience are unpleasant.

7. I'm a psychological akterhuman, and I believe that they are a few sources of my different identities. My alien kintype is from trauma, that's for sure. Most of my _types are from autism. My fictionflicker identity may be from hyperfixations. My otherlink identities are obviously by choice.

8. Yes, I do! I hardly ever wear masks in public. In front of other ppl, I wear my tails, and necklaces that I associate with my _types. Also, when it comes to my alien kintype, scene clothing (that is different from my "main" style) can also be gear.

9. 1.Don't tell random ppl about your identity. 2. Do lots of research, 3. Doubt can be one of your worst enemies. Don't listen to it. 4. Accept yourself as you are.

10. Mostly research basing on my shifts/traits/general experience. For example, if I feel phantom wings with feathers, I'm most likely a bird. Also, I sometimes try to trigger shifts. It doesn't always work tho.

11. Attempt to do "quads" that fit my _type. It's funny, like, have you ever imagined bird-like quadrobics? It looks funny from the outside, but inside it feels great.

12. Firstly, kinfifm my Ikea alien plush kintype. Secondly, learn at least basic quadrobics.

13. I'm trying😭 due to medicine that I take, my psychical condition is very poor.. But it gives me a bit species euphoria when I try.

14. I took a look at a white cat picture and was like: "yeah, that's me.". After observing myself, I figured out that it actually is my theriotype (or quoitype).

15. I sometimes have barely noticable animalistic traits (tilting my head like an owl, whining or growling). I sometimes get small (or bigger) shifts. I also get species euphoria or dysphoria from little things.

16. Not really. I'm a christian (however that sounds..) since I was a kid, and I'm not really willing to change my beliefs.

17. Definitely yes. Firstly - autism. It makes me see the world totally different than the others. Also I experience psychotic symptoms, which may be a little bit connected with my alterhumanity.

18. Yes - I identify with xenogenders that are connected with my kintypes and I use pronouns that also do (I have more neos in my pronouns page and pronouns cc) also, my alien kintype is gender neutral, which may also affect me.

19. Being unique, feeling happines from things that ppl usually don't, being in an open and tolerant community.

20. Feeling scared of irl ppl finding out about my identity, feeling thw need to hide it, getting species dysphoria often.

:D

I'm questioning if I'm a void conceptkin.

I often have this feeling (a shift maybe?) that feels empty. I get this in the evening most often. I feel absolutely nothing, I loose the track of time. No thoughts, no feelings. I wasn't associating this feeling with being alterhuman until now.

[alex-the-alterhuman]

Hello!

I sometimes have this feeling. Not often, and it doesn't really bother me that much, but I know one fact.

Everyone's experience is different. There is no strict definition - "you need to feel this exact feeling to be alterhuman, you need to have this certain experience " bla bla bla. Nonsense. If you don't fully feel human however and for whatever reason - you are an alterhuman.

Some of us have 1-3 xtypes. Some hundreads of them. Some have fluid xtypes. Some feel their humanity being fluid. Some have stable xtypes that change intensity. Some chose to be nonhuman (otherlink). To some of us the experience is terrible, to some enjyable, to some it's neutral, to some it's fluid between those.

Also, a tip: don't listen to all internet users. Some can be misinformed, uneducated or even hateful. (Even I can be misinformed 🥲) Use the labels that you feel comfortable in. Do reaserch (which is not just tiktok videos lol), read definitions (I recommend most wiki websites) and match them with your experience.

Accept yourself. Your self-discovery journey can be long, difficult and you can make mistakes. For example: one of your xtypes may be temporary without you knowing about it. And it's not your fault that you get something wrong.

Zamn, that was long :P

I just love doing research, and giving others advice. I know that it's sometimes good to listen to others' point of view, because it can change/improve yours. Or just read some positivity text XP

How do y'all deal with feeling "fake" or "not alterhuman enough"?

I constantly feel invalid because I have many kintypes, and it bothers me. So. Much.

Instead of feeling curios or exited when questioning a new identity, I just feel dread and pray that I'm wrong. That I'm not yet ANOTHER animal. It sucks. I feel as if I can't truly be myself, because being myself means being "fake"

Are there any good ways to cope with that feeling? :')

Something in Polish today!

Dzisiaj coś po polsku ;)

yuppii

"Stereotypical" theriantrophy things that I don't do and traits that I don't have🪶

I don't do quadrobics. My psychical condition is very poor, due to the meds that I take, it's hard for me to do the basic excersises. I used to try to do that, but this sport is not for me.

I wasn't born, or at least I think that I wasn't born, with some of my xtypes. They're just there, I don't even question it if I was born a therian or not. The only thing that I'm sure about is that I was born an alienkin.

Some of my kintypes are fluid due to being kinfluid, as well as my fictionflicker identity.

I have not a lot of gear, or what is considered as gear and it doesn't "match" my xtypes.

I'm not psychically fit.

And now, the "stereotypical" traits and things that I do/have!🪶

I do vocals sometimes (volontarily and unvolontarily).

I experience shifts, different kinds of those.

I love nature.

I like the fairycore/goblincore aesthetic.

[alex-the-alterhuman]

FELLAS.

I just went to the doctor who helps me with gender problems. And GUESS WHAT.

He supports me as an alterhuman! Aaaaaaa! This is a first person irl who I met and knows what otherkin is!!

Really really thank you for this reblog! I'll try to show this to my dad (only me and him can speak English). I'm glad, that if it actually is POTS, I can do something about this.

I hope that my parents will take it as seriously as me..

Thank you again, it means a lot to me!

I have no idea what's going on..

[pt. I have no idea what's going on.. end pt.]

I think that I might have POTS or something similar. Here are the things that make my life harder/that I noticed:

I can't stand for longer than 30 mins. Sometimes I had to leave our group (of students) and sit somewhere. If I didn't sit, I would faint. On my worse days, I can't stand for a goddamn minute. On the bus/train, I need to find a free seat, otherwise I'll faint.

I feel dizzy and my head hurts when suddenly standing up, especially on my worse days.

My measurements pretty much always say that I have an increased heartbeat and high blood pressure.

I sometimes feel my heartbeat. It's fast and very intense.

I told my parents about it. Their 3 responses:

"You don't excersise enough!" (They tell me this always when I report something)

" Well, it's because of the medicine that you take and we can't do anything about it!!" (Yes, it might be because of medicine, but maybe we can get some supplies that can make my life easier??)

"Don't search up dumb things on the internet!" (phone bad book good)

This is making me tired. I'm afraid to take the bus, because the seats are always taken and I'm afraid to ask for a free seat. I don't "look disabled", I'm not old or pregnant, so I'm afraid of people's reaction..

I will tell this to my psychistrist in my next visit, because, as you can see, my parents won't help me. They don't want to even make a doctor appointment, because they think that "we can't do anything about it anyways". Even if we can't, maybe there is something that will make my life easier? I don't even have the document about being disabled, because some lady did not want to give it to me for some reason.!

I don't know what's happening. I heard about people with POTS, although their state was way worse than mine. Maybe I have it, but lighter or something else?? I am not a doctor, I don't want to diagnose myself. I have no idea about this kind of stuff.

Today, on geography lesson I wanted to stand to trace the map on my paper. I couldn't. I needed to sit every few seconds, because I was feeling dizzy.

Why am I publishing it here?

Maybe some of you have POTS or know about something similar. I'm not really expecting profesjonal help from random tumblr users, but maybe you guys know what to do in this situation..

Thank you for reading.

I feel like I might be some sort of godkin or dietykin, or something similar.

Everyday I feel my never-ending hate for humanity. I feel like I'm better. That I'm a superior creature trapped inside my human body, and that's why no one sees that I'm better.

Humans are just stupid. Only some of them are ok and I can stand them.

Everything here is so badly organised. And this stinky, filthy mass surrounding me.. (humans).

[alex-the-alterhuman]

Hello! A fictionkin and fictionflicker here.

I also sometimes get a "I feel like I'm a fictional character but I have no idea who" feeling. And when I feel this way, I look deeper into myself.

I try to think of a piece of media that I know. Maybe some childhood show that you've forgotten? A piece of media that you watched once and mentally abandoned it? A fandom that you're in?

Maybe try to trigger shifts (if you are able to experience those)! During the shifts, try to remember your looks, character traits, maybe the friends from your source.

You don't have to have memories! Memories also don't strictly mean a past life (e.g. me. I have a thing that I call memories, but I personally don't believe in past lives)

You can also try to observe yourself. When you're feeling like this character, take notes of what you feel/experience.

I hope that you'll find out who you are!

:>

Could all the fictionkin gather into this post and help me? I seriously have a strong feeling that I'm a fictionkin but I have no clue who or what media it could be from. I also have no memories as fictionkin? Do fictionkins have to have memories as their kin? I need some help or a guide lol

[alex-the-alterhuman]
