Ɐ + N/AHAA - Together in Difference
Ɐ (derived from the mathematical symbol meaning 'for all', and pronounced as 'Turned A') is a symbol/term for any and all within our overlapping communities.
We (those involved in coining this term) realised there was no actual term that encompasses all identities, seeing as not everyone identifies with alterhuman or nonhuman.
This symbol is for:
Anyone and everyone who doesn't identify with the traditional definition of humanity. This involves alterhumanity, nonhumans, therians, human and nonhuman fictionkin, otherkin, endels, holotheres, clinical zoanthropes, linkers, otherhearted, and ANYONE else who has an addition to their humanity, isn't human in the slightest, and everything in between.
Anyone who is ready to celebrate the overlaps between our communities, and allow us to experience a wider community without trying to put everyone under a human or not human label.
The celebration of being different! To laugh in the face of 'cringe' and embrace your unique experience of life.
We're also, in this post, coining the acronyms N/AHAA and/or ASAA! These are Non/Alterhuman and Adjacents, and Alterspecies and Adjacents! They both mean exactly the same as Ɐ, but are an easier to pronounce alternative.
The symbols in the pictures are completely free to use! They also don't have to be pawprints - we're working on alternate versions for different species.
Involved in coining:
@lycanm00n (me!), @koirankusema666, @canis-dentem, @howlinginsolitude and Plague/Rot !
This symbol and term is NOT for any zoophiles, zootherians, MAPs, pedos, etc. Sanists, anti physical nonhumanity, ableists, and anyone fitting basic DNI is also not welcome to use this. This is a queer and neurodivergent friendly label.

I am a rat.
What really defines me anyway? I am not my body. Nor am I my thoughts, emotions, what’s in my dna etc. I am beyond that. And also a little bit of everything. But I know I’m not a human.
Stop saying therians know they’re actually human, because I am not human in any way and I’m therian. I don’t have to be delusional to recognize this is just folks pandering to the sanist human crowd.

Turned A Hellhound Paws
I'm finally saying fuck it and just posting shit I make here, so lets have some fun with it. I really like the Turned A symbol, so I took @lycanm00n's Turned A paw design and made it a little edgier to fit my taste :p /jk thought I'd put them here though if anyone wants to use them.

Spiderkins: my dearest friend, let me weave you a sweater of the finest silk...
Also spiderkins: and as for my enemies... a sweater that's slightly suffocating

Predatory
My breath fogs the glass in front of me,
a window between the two of us.
Transparent and yet always there .
A fragile, delicate thing -
something I was never meant to be
I know that animals bear their teeth in aggression.
I wonder if everyone can see the feral dog in my smile,
shaking, trying to hide the fear.
I wonder if that keeps them away from me and
protects the pane of glass between us.
Keeping me in the cage I built around myself.
In the reflection I see my smile with gilded teeth
Predatory
The unbridled hunger of a frenzied beast
The growl sits in the back of my throat
Hackles raised with the sense of danger looming on the horizon
My window a mirror of the self
Fear is a verb in preservation
To live and breath while running on knife edges
The sword shoved between jaws placing fangs on display like diamonds
Is violence still violence when it comes from your own hand
Does the pain ache less if self inflicted
Or does the betrayal of one's own self preservation hurt the most
The claws reach through the mirror
Grabbing at an exposed throat
Saw my chest open
Pluck out my heart and devour it
Reminding me what it is to be
Vulnerable

Been meaning to say this for a while, but here's a not so gentle reminder that you don't have to be skinny, white and able bodied to be part of the nonhuman community.
Racism and ableism is sadly rampant in this community and I want this blog to be safe for the beings that feel excluded! If you want to, you can interact with this post if you are or your blog is safe for: fat, POC and disabled nonhumans. I wanna show some support, even if it's just a follow or a reblog here and there.

Fellow therians/otherkin/nonhumans/alterhumans:
If your types were a degree you got in college how would you describe it?
I got my major in Wolf, but I did get a minor in Hellhound and took some Black Dog Classes that I was super interested in. I'm not sure if I'm going to go back and finish my Werewolf studies though.
