"Do I look like him?"

[louisirl]

I am Otherkin, though I can understand it in a Therianthropic sense.

A bird doesn’t need to contemplate being a bird to fly—it simply flies, using what it has to make it through another day. We often try so hard to put everything into words to make sense of it all, yet we get caught up in the need for labels. Perhaps we’re meant, to some extent, to simply be—to exist as ‘beings.’

This makes me wonder how common it would be to see subtle Therian quirks emerging while a Therianthrope was masking, while navigating to the demands and stresses of human life. Not the overtly obvious expressions, but rather the subtler nuances—something that someone with expertise in wolf biology might recognize as wolf-like instincts in a wolf Therian.

Where the Therian isn’t intentionally expressing their species to embrace euphoria nor what would be regarded as a guaranteed safe space for species regression, but is instead deeply focused, fully immersed in a headspace centered on their innate instincts.

I don’t know if anyone can relate, but when I’m really busy and stressed my therianthropy kinda takes a backseat just like other things that make me happy.

I just can’t do things to connect to my theriotype when I have so many human things to do.

This kinda creates like a buildup of a background layer of species dysphoria that I then also have to ignore

[louisirl]

i know this is a redundant topic, i see at least one post a day on here about therians on tiktok and the “we know we’re humans” talk.

how did we get this far that so many on tiktok, even reddit nowadays, say things to adhere to societal standards?

sure, physically, i am a human. nothing will change that. even still, i am a dog. i am inhuman.

why do i care if someone says “you’re a human” in my comments? i don’t.

and i’m just really growing tired of my own community changing definitions that have existed for years.

vampiric attraction.

[Image description: Two nearly identical flags, both with five horizontal stripes that are mostly equally-sized with a thicker stripe in the middle. The stripes of both flags are in a gradient from red on the top and bottom to deep red in the middle. The left flag has a red heart in the center, which contains a dark red blood drop. The right flag has no symbol. End description.]

vampiric attraction is a term for any type of attraction (sexual, romantic, platonic, etc.) that is related to being a vampire. this is intended to be literal, and is made with vampire alterhumans/nonhumans in mind, but it is not exclusive.

this term can be used on its own, or may be used as an umbrella term to refer to more specific kinds of vampire-related attraction, such as sanguffectis, vamptraction, vamp 4 vamp, etc.

Society would rock so much if you could be open about being alterhuman and it was just a normal thing to be. I like to fantasize about a kinder world like that.

Like we could go see mermaids perform in those tail covers (mermaid performances are a thing but imagine if it was way more common and normalized and full of actual mermaids!)

The gym could have group quadrobics sessions for different species (canine, feline, rodent .ect)

Angels could meet up at custom built “cathedral” like buildings full of pearl strands and stained glass and discuss their lives amongst humans over tea and cake.

Toy/doll/stuffed animal people could sew people sized clothes that look like doll clothes and play dress up together.

Zombies and ghosts could clean and maintain graveyards and honor the dead.

Bird folk could mix albums of their calls and wear wigs of faux feathers.

Grocery stores would sell kibble shaped snacks.

Furniture stores would sell nests and pet-style beds in person sizes.

People could publish memoirs of past lives or kin memories.

All plural people would be treated with respect and accepted as normal people too of course.

You could ask anyone if they identify as another species and they would understand it and maybe they would say they aren’t human either.

The fight against other forms of oppression will lead the way to a world safe enough to begin advocating for alterhumans. Society needs to first accept those who are queer, disabled, culturally different, neurologically different, and visually different.

The Coven of the Articulate

Welcome to The Coven of the Articulate, the esteemed sanctuary for those who dwell in the shadows of the night. Established in 2024, our coven embraces all who identify as vampires, regardless of their origin or path. Here, we cultivate a hauntingly inclusive environment, where seekers of truth can find guidance and understanding in their alterhuman journey.

Our ethereal presence primarily thrives in the digital realm, a spectral haven where members can freely express their vampirism in myriad forms. With a wealth of experience among our ranks, we stand ready to illuminate the way for those who question their identity, offering counsel and camaraderie in this enigmatic exploration.

As we cast our gaze towards the mystical streets of New Orleans, plans for a physical headquarters are underway, promising a tangible space for our community to gather and celebrate the essence of our shared existence. Join us, as we weave the tapestry of our darkened identities and embrace the mysteries of the night.

Being 'Articulate'

We are a group of vampires who gather to discuss philosophy, art, morality, and the nature of their existence as immortals. We represent a shift from the more predatory and bestial behavior of older vampire covens to a more introspective and cultured approach to vampirism. Members seek to understand their purpose, to develop a code of ethics, and to foster a sense of community among the “articulate,” or those vampires who reflect deeply on their own existence. In this context, “articulate” signifies vampires who interested in exploring complex ideas and sharing them with others, embracing their undead lives with intellectual depth and sophistication.

Being a Vampire

The concept of being an alterhuman, particularly within the vampire community, encompasses a diverse range of identities and experiences that transcend traditional human classifications. This community is characterized by a shared exploration of identity, often embracing aspects of vampirism—whether literal or metaphorical—such as a heightened sense of perception, alternative lifestyles, or unique spiritual beliefs. Members of the vampire community often come together to form supportive networks, where they can express their identities, share experiences, and engage in discussions about the cultural and psychological implications of their existence. This subculture fosters a sense of belonging, allowing individuals to navigate their alterhumanity in a world that may not fully understand or accept their perspectives.

Our Mission

Within the vampire community, we recognize the importance of providing support and guidance to individuals who are questioning their identities and experiences as vampires. Our environment fosters open dialogue, encouraging exploration of what vampirism means to each person. Through discussions, workshops, and online forums, we create safe spaces for those grappling with their feelings and experiences. We offer resources and mentorship, helping newcomers navigate their journeys of self-discovery and acceptance. By sharing personal narratives and providing emotional support, we empower individuals to embrace their unique identities, fostering a sense of belonging and community. Ultimately, our goal is to help those questioning their vampiric nature find clarity and confidence, ensuring they feel accepted and understood in their journey.

Join the Court

As you step into the shadows of our realm, new members will find themselves granted access to the 'Trial' channel, nestled within the Prelude Category. Here, you may engage in casual discourse with fellow kindred spirits, forging connections in the twilight. To fully embrace your place within the Court, it is imperative that you immerse yourself in the #Laws—these sacred tenets form the very foundation of our darkened sanctuary. For those who seek to delve deeper into our mysteries, applications for full membership may be submitted through a ticket in the '#Join-The-Court' channel, also found within the Preliminary Category. We await your presence in this arcane gathering, where shadows intertwine, and our shared essence flourishes.

Our vampire coven is strictly an adult community. All members must be at least eighteen years old to join. Age verification may be required to ensure compliance.

normalize talking about the darker sides of kins. like yeah i get euphoria from walking around the woods and meowing and doing quads or whatever, but i also live with the intense urge to sink my teeth into raw flesh. and its not cuz i wanna hurt people. i just do. there's a part of me that's disgusting and feral and aggressive and even if it makes others uncomfortable i am the one who's gotta deal with it and getting it off my chest makes me feel a bit better and maybe it'll help someone else out there who's struggling like me.

[louisirl]

I saw a TikTok the other day with several million likes that said something along the lines of “my little sister is a therian and wearing cat ears to school and im so scared for her” and like. Weird video obviously but what really did me in was a comment that said “my younger sister was also a therian, im glad I bullied her out of it, it was for her own good :(“ and it had like several thousand likes. are you people okay. that is such a miserable way of living your life. bullying someone out of doing something is already disgusting but for it to be your younger sister, someone who looks up to you? and for what? because you’re afraid they might get bullied? congratulations! you’ve just become their first bully! you have just mocked and scared them out of a passion or something that brings them joy most likely because YOU’RE embarrassed. what an awful way to live and treat others

[louisirl]

Newly Awakened alterhumans when you are discovering yourself try not to push your entire life into the box of animal-hood. This can be beneficial but also a bit hindering to your growth. Not everything in your life and identity has to be 'animal', do you understand what I'm saying? You're alowed to have an identity outside of alterhumanity.

Now later on in your journey you might realize or decide that nothing in your life/identity/experience is human and thats ok but at the beginning don't force yourself into a box. Really think about and analyze yourself in all contexts, not just in an animal one.

You're alowed to feel human sometimes and your alowed to have an identity outside of alterhumanity.

[louisirl]

Precisely. I believe I fall into the transpecies label, to some degree as well as an Otherkin (Fictionkin) Vampire. I identify with these alterhuman terms but I actively have a desire to change my physicality to match how I see myself at my core.

For me, it’s not solely a psychological or spiritual identification—I require to be seen in this life as who I truly feel I am. This isn’t universal within the Otherkin (Especially, Fictionkin) community, as not every alterhuman shares this desire. I’d like to incorporate my identity actively into my lifestyle. Not just as something private or that I share and express online.

I’m actively taking the steps to do so. (Legally Changing My Name, Permanent Fangs, Starting Projects/Groups, My Partner is my Canon Sourcemate, etc.)

I think what really draws me to transspecies is the definitive-ness of it.

I am a cat through and through

With terms like Therianthrope, though I use it, has a sort of 'fluff' that goes with it, an idea around It. Preconceived ideas kind of. But there is a rawness with the term transspecies that has a lot to do with the prefix. I am beyond my body and will change my life to reflect that. I am human only in technicalities. On a deeper more personal level, I am a cat.

To all the alterhumans / nonhumans who dont know what to do: now is the time for you to start putting your money where your mouth is.

If youre an animal, it's time for you to be a goddamn animal. Be feral, Be aggressive, fight for your life.

If you're a dragon, then be a terror to Kings, and start burning down the halls of power like the dragons of yore.

If you're a mythical creature, have no concern for the social constructs of man. Stand proudly outside what people even believe is possible.

If you're plural, know you're never alone. Fight against individualism that seeks to divide each body into deterministic boxes.

If you're a fictional character who saved the world, believe that you can save any world. Don't back down now.

Now is the time to really believe that you are what you say you are. People in power are going to try to take that away from you. Don't fall for it.

It's time shed any preconceptions you have about what you're capable of. If you're an animal it's time to fight like one. A dragon that uses gasoline and matches is still a dragon.

All bets are off. If they want to treat us like dogs in a cage then im gonna start ripping fascists' throats out like one. And I'd better see y'all there with me, on G-d.

Do not censor yourself/selves for others, and do not play into their expectations of who you should be. Do not exclude others simply so you are not excluded, yourself. Do not downplay your disorder, sexuality, gender or identity to make it easier for others to digest. Do not lie simply in order to fit in, unless it is for your own safety. Do not let others hatred of you rule over your own life, and do not let it influence you into hating others within similar communities or even your own.

Know that whatever or whoever you are is still important, even if you have to hide for now to stay safe. Your experiences, your identity, and you yourself are important and deserving of spaces safe to express yourself/selves.

I am so very tired of seeing people hate on those with stigma surrounding their identities. Otherkin, queers, psychotics, systems, trans and gender diverse people, and anyone society does not understand. You do not help your own group by harming another. You are only helping those against us all.
