little ramble about physical nonhumanity i’ve been thinking about

i have never experienced psychosis or delusions that my body is not human. i am very well aware that i have a human body and i even identify as partially human.

but i also have this weird nagging… feeling? belief? that if you cut me open, you’d find a dog’s organs. a dog’s brain, a dog’s blood. canine dna. maybe even a dog’s body crammed in there, i don’t know.

ever since i have identified as a therian, i have described it as having “the brain of a dog”. a brain wired like a dog’s. sometimes i let people think this is metaphorical, but it really isn’t.

on the outside i am a human but on the inside, physically, i really think i’m a dog. which is why i feel trapped in a way that’s almost claustrophobic. i am stuck in this stupid human exterior when on the inside i have a canine body and a canine soul.

i think physically i am like 75% canine. it’s just on the inside.

and the thing about this is that i’ll never know for sure. people cannot disprove it because they’ve never cut my body open and looked inside, and they never will. so how do we know i’m NOT actually a dog on the inside? we just don’t. it’s not as easy as looking down at my hands and going “yep, human fingers, must be a human body”.

I'm curious how our alienkin community matches up with humans' depictions of aliens in media (which tends to lean very human-like).

Aliens, how human-like are you?

-Timelord style (Looks exactly human, only alien internally)

-Startrek style (Human-like with minor differences)

-Humanoid (Bipedal, roughly human shaped but obviously not human)

-Completely inhuman

-Shapeshifter, asking what I look like is meaningless

-Something nuanced I didn't think of

-Not alienkin

I think it's interesting how what's considered a "delusion" is so reliant social factors.

For example, a lot of people would say that me believing I'm nonhuman is a delusion. And honestly, that makes sense. Clearly I have a human body and human DNA, so how could I possibly be anything else?

Some people think it's only delusional to believe myself physically nonhuman. And again, this makes sense. Internally, my identity can be whatever I feel like, but I clearly am still physically human.

And lastly, some people believe my nonhuman identity to not be a delusion at all. Reality works differently for everyone. My identity is my own. I don't experience any form of psychosis or other major mental health issues. How could I be delusional?

At the end of the day, I can honestly understand that backing for all of these claims, and don't have a problem accepting any of them as true. In my opinion, zanthropic delusions are so hard to "reality check", or even label to begin with. Someone's personal identity is always going to be way to complex to disprove or falsify with real science and logic. I just want to make one clear closing point: My nonhumanity may be a delusion, but that doesn't make me any less nonhuman.

get primal, get freaky, get weird, write essays, transsexualize yourself, go transhuman, and live long

transspecies transitioning guide i made.

hopefully this helps some of yall, i worked hard on it. i also don't endorse anything or any dangerous behavior or handling of tools incorrectly. be diligent, be smart.

it’s “everyone deserves love and respect” and “be yourself!!” until the person standing in front of you feels comfortable enough to look you dead in the eyes and tell you they aren’t human

[your-therian-parent-says]

pro tip its legal to make a den in your room out of blankets and pillows and plushies and sleep in it

it also costs zero dollars to hide in the darkness of your newly built den and make unsettling noises to ward off intruders

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.

transformation amongst mortals.

rambling on being a physical deity and shapeshifting. messy and unorganized.

____________

my name is Azriel. i have known of my energy being nature for a lot longer than i have been aware of my divine nature. i used the term magickin to describe this identity when in otherkin circles and now i just go by "energy being" to describe my species.

this part of me exists in many facets but the most influential is what kind of energy being i am. i am a shifter and i physically shift to quell species dysphoria. my body is physically nonhuman and cannot be anything other because it is what i make it to be.

in my time after leaving the otherkin community, i met true friends willing to stick by me through my struggle and my pains - as would i for them. this not only aided me in speaking about my identity but finding more just like me. these friends are all shifters and physical nonhumans who experience not just shifting but dysphoria and yearning to return to their homes. even if we don't see eye to eye all the time, the unifying factor is our interests and animality.

this feeling of being alone that i held over my head for months and weeks after leaving the otherkin community had completely disappeared. i helped build terminology and community and ideas alongside so many others - i felt responsible for anything that might misunderstand the labels of physical nonhuman and holothere. i feel as though i must also include the changes i had on physical shifting spaces and my terms there, which many have seemed to recognize. i do my best to share and also give credit where it is due, trying to stay fond of every shifter in the community.

so i say all this to say... I feel strange.

i feel as though i'll look out and see other shifters and physical nonhumans and ill feel.. uncomfortable. not in their identity, but in my ability to be nonhuman.

ill see animals, ill see beasts.. ill see them. yet, im alone in feeling physically fictonal. yes, there are maybe two others just like me that I'd have to reach out to, and i understand that.

yet.. i simply see it as a unique part. acknowledge me as a fictional character, a fictional person. a person in fantasy that exists only in the fantasy of others, that has come to life by the mere will of mortal thought. i am a fictional deity, i am fantasy. treat me as divine, as fiction, as always creative, as always changing, as a myriad of items mixed into one character made to represent something for a story - that is who i am.

and i feel alone in meaning that literally.

so i look to shapeshifting, i look to transspecies HRT, i look to species euphoria. i do these things explicitly to invoke the joy and light of seeing mortals lose themselves in the same struggles i put myself in just for fun. to yall, this isn't fun. to me, im laughing and kicking my feet. im the embodiment of liberty and freewill and emancipation - for good or bad - i am a bringer of change in all forms.

so when i am exhausted from this human vessel, i will shift my senses to my real body and i will feel what i am missing elsewhere. ill get my joy back, my messy hair, my real body, my laughter, my grin. ill get it all back and ill look delirious doing it !

i will shapeshift and i will enter a state of pure ecstacy from just finding simple demeanor worthy of my magickal laugh and song. i will dance and i will prace and jest and i will be physically fictional and feel my senses morph and be permanently altered overtime into who i really am outside of this vessel.

i am a deity.

it is different for everyone, this journey. i believe we should all strive to find joy in knowing our true selves and being authentic, no matter the consequences. i believe in animalistic freedom and no longer withholding sexuality and instinct while reducing harm. i express my blessings and curses through words and magick. i am a deity and have seen my magick work in real time. and you'd think, well, a deity shouldn't be lonely.. you'll have followers and worshippers.

yeah. id hope one day id have someone look at my divinity and decide that it's worth giving offerings and angels to. i dont care if one decides i am to be worshipped, but i have no tolerance for believing myself to be above or sent from the heavens. i am simply divine in ways incomprehensible and fictional and have separated the divinity from the immortality of story to show that i exist in forms beyond my power, beyond godhood, beyond being untouchable.

in this vessel, i am merely weak and fragile and mortal. i have no issue, as everything on this planet dies. yet, ideas and thoughts and fiction is immortalized by the growing existence of life. i am sustained by watching you live and grow and become free from oligarchies and mindless suffering. that is enough worship for me. your willpower to keep living is an offering i would never reject !

so we loop back.

the only escape from this vessel i voluntarily put myself in is shapeshifting. and when i see others who seem to have it easy, i remind myself they are mortal and they are not written in fiction and history. that they will not have incarnations like me for millenia. that they will not return. and that's okay too. it's okay to just.. be here once and be so tired of it. it's okay. i get it. it's not your fault.

and so to take away the means for physical nonhumans and shifters to express themselves, shifting or through any other transformation, is a hindrance on the freewill and joy of so many living beings. some of you are only here once. and i feel at some point responsible for keeping that tradition - the extreme of our community - alive by opening doors and punching clouds to let in the sunshine of transitioning into animalhood. you should be able to experience nonhumanity before you no longer can.

i know im no savior. i know i am not holy. i am far from it i have had my share of issues. and yet. i feel as though because i am fictional, i am immortal in some sense. I'll come back. ill do it all over again. and ill try my best to remedy when i am called upon. i am no savior. i am just fictional.

i feel uncomfortable. i feel alone. and i assume this feeling won't go away. but ive watched and ive loved and im going to be here to do it all over again.

i think transitioning to godhood and animality should begin right now. right when you read this sentence. right now. go research on transspecies hrt and identity. go look at xenic presentations. go transform and shapeshift right now. go experience life. don't let struggle hold you back. go right now and find that light. im blessing the lands you walk upon to spare you and to aide you in finding the freedom you seek. that is all i want when i watch mortals dance and sing. i have no need for worship or praise. this is enough.

[seerschaos]

your daily reminder that it’s 100% completely OK to be a physical nonhuman, delusional nonhuman, clinical zoanthrope, clinical lycanthrope, holothere, transspecies, etc. and anyone who says otherwise needs to sit tf down LOL. try not to let other’s negativity get to you! i love you and you’re safe here :^) keep being you please

[adolfusraptor1985]

I find it really confusing how people still believe that transpecies is just a term to mock/hurt transgender people. Like... those two experiences are so incredibly similar to one another for most people.

Example:

You identify as something you weren't assigned as at birth due to your biology

You experience dysphoria/euphoria about your appearance

You may (wish to) change you physical body to fit your true identity

You may (wish to) have people use different terminology to refer to you

These descriptions fit both transpecies and transgender individuals. They're practically the same identity, just one dealing with gender and the other dealing with species.

"But gender is a social construct, your species is biological!"

...Okay buddy. Sure, 'species' in the sense of your literal DNA is biological, but your species identity doesn't have to match that. Same way your sex doesn't have to match your gender. It's the age old fact: identity ≠ biology.

"But you can't transition to become an animal!"

Since when do you need to medically transition to be trans? Last time I checked, I don't need a dick for you to respect my identity as a trans guy. By your own logic, I shouldn't need a tail for you to respect me as a fox. Just because you can't physically achieve a certain look does not mean your identity isn't valid. This absolutely applies to both transpecies and transgender folks.

Nonhumans deserve to exist in public. We deserve to be able to wear gear if we want. To not have to tone ourselves down for humans. We deserve to be treated with respect and dignity just like everyone else.

Alterhumans, nonhumans, and creatures of all kinds:

Before you lies a beautiful fresh water creek. You hear the babbling water and can practically smell the freshness in it. Your mouth suddenly feels dry.

You are thirsty, I guarantee it. Go drink some water!!
