I was so tired of shifttok freaking out about other shifters being 100+ years of age mentally, like no Allison I do not have all the answers to your questions just because I'm over 400 years old, and I said this too but nobody gaf about that💀, and the fact 400 and more isn't even "old", that's just because you're so used to the fact people "normally" live till their 70-90, 400 and up is NOT THAT BIG OF A DEAL, this is also why I lied about my mental age being 29 for so long, shifttok thinks: age=All the knowledge in the multiverse..

It happens so often that someone tries to tell me that something is out of my control and I just stand there like "🧍‍♀️... I know something you dont"

Five Hargreeves agere moodboard!

I think this is super cute!!

I love Five and this aesthetic and wanted to make something for it 😸 I really think he'd be amazing as a caregiver! Especially in season 4 when he's so calm and at peace 🩷 (I'll make a headcanon list about this soon), but I also think he'd grow strawberries; just so you two can pick them together 😭

I love and need him so bad, lolol.

(Also, for any shifters out there; I've wanted to shift to "The Umbrella Academy" so so bad for a couple years and am still trying! But I have another "dr" specifically for me to age regress 😸 Which will be so fun and I'm so excited to do!)

Shifter!Au thoughts...

Graves who's been stuck with Shepherd his whole life. Graves who's never had a healthy family to look up to. Graves who had to grow up too quickly. Graves who age regresses. Graves who found that in 141 and Los Vaqueros. Graves who was torn between listening to the man who raised him, or keeping the men who've treated him so well safe. Graves who ended up listening to Shepherd because it was all he's known his whole life.

Grey Fox!Graves who, when Ghost Team confronted him, went into little space, and shifted.

Black Panther!Ghost who's maternal instincts kick in and he's immediately laying next to Graves, trying to comfort the small boy.

Red Fox!Soap who calls this into Price, because it's not fair.

Price agrees that they'll need to talk to Graves when he's out of little space, but for now, they're taking care of this kit.

3 tips for all my adhd shifters trying to learn how to meditate <3

1. Listen. To. Music. And it doesn't have to be calming instrumental music (that almost always has the opposite effect on me). Make it loud and as brash as you want- give your brain something to gnaw on - and bonus points if it includes a beat drop because you can time it to coincide with your exhaling.

2. Speaking of exhaling, do 4,7,8 breathing to the beat of the first couple of songs (I'd reccomend these songs to be more reminiscient of what you would listen to in your dr than songs that remind you of the process of shifting.) This is the perfect concentration game for those of us who need something to focus hard on in order to relax. As you progress in the song your breathing will be out of sync with the downbeat forcing yourself to concentrate hard on counting. I find this super satisfying, especially when your exhale eventually converges again with the downbeat after a couple rounds of breathing. After doing this for as long as I like, I move onto songs more 'shifting coded' - ie end of beginning by djo - and freestyle my breathing, inhaling, holding and exhaling when I want to. (I like to exhale on shifting coded lyrics.)

3. The most crucial point of all: do all this sat up. I enjoy sitting cross legged on my bed with my arms on my knees, lotus style. You can lean against something if it's more comfortable for you but I find the ever so slight discomfort of trying to sit up straight gives me something more to focus on. Plus that moment when you relieve the slight ache by eventually lying down is so bone deep relaxing. I really struggle with lying still on my back when I'm not relaxed because I don't get enough feedback from my body and I imagine other ADHDers may relate (and hopefully benefit from this advice.) Sitting this way and doing this deep breathing makes me feel super light and floaty and my eyes naturally roll up into my head, all indicators of deep relaxation (and hopefully a precursor to the void!)

Well that's just my thoughts after my first time succesfully meditating for longer than 5 minutes, all because I chose to sit up and listen to some music. I hope it helps someone :)

... So i SWEAR this isn't intentional...

Im back... Again. And on brand... Again.

Um so that flesh eating shapeshifter kingdom...

Is there any known kingdom it would neighbor? Does it neighbor Orchard since Dust apparently has been there? Do you have any ideas for what they would look like? Does DUST have an idea for what they look like? Do they just out of habit shift into things familiar to those in proximity since its hoe they hunt? DO the hunt by shifting a luring humans into a sense of security? When Dust used to make deals with them would they find it more polite to shift to something similar to a skeleton but just... Wrong and uncanny valley? Since they hunt humans and not monsters or animals so they have had no need to mimic those perfectly tu lure them in unlike with the humans. How many eyes would they have. Do the dishes look great and appealing? Would some look more raw and grotesque like how some people eat raw beef? Would they gift things from their country that would be made of for example human teeth in jewelry or human skin in like bags or such like we did and still do for the teeth and bone of animals and leather/pelts? Would they keep humans like we do cattle?

I'm... Gonna stop for now, yeah. I am very enthusiastic about shapeshifters... Especially those that could be classified as skinwalkers and/or flesheaters. They're funky.

Blinks my big ol eyes at you 🥺. Glad to have you back Flesh Anon! And please know I'm gonna go a lil crazy about this ask because!! I love worldbuilding! And it also incorporates magic-laws from another of my projects so!! Double-win!!

So, first, I DO think it neighbors Orchid! Though, only through a treacherous little stretch of land, because *technically* about a mile radius of no-man's land exists between it and other kingdoms! It's a longstanding kingdom that no one dares to really bother because, well, the monsters there are NOT welcoming of humans for obvious reasons. I think it'd be to the northeast of Orchard, entirely landlocked and almost a sort of buffer that deterred the warring factions from even glancing at Orchard (between the freaky shapeshifters and the God-Kings? Yeah, no) but the two never made an alliance. The citizens of Orchard, while treated poorly, welcomed all species, including Humans, and so this shifting kingdom (thinking of calling it 'Whistling' because it sounds cool lol-) didn't take that kindly and decided to keep to themselves.

And, Dust's operation as crime-lord extended pretty far- (and suddenly I'm realizing that him visiting would throw a wrench in the whole Storm thing so: slight retcon: he invited visitors over on multiple occasions, and they would bring him/cook him meals, still as a part of sharing culture-) and they had good meat for the selling, so Dust did what he had to! He has several folks he knows from the crime days, but he can usually get a sense for a shifter if he's around one, anyone sneaking in or playing refugee.

Appearance Question!!! Okay. Once, a long, long time ago, these monsters were driven out of their homes. They used to be spread all across the continent, solo-hunters or living in small groups. They'd hunt humans just as humans hunted a deer. For food. No one knows why their magic needs human flesh to function, but they tried to stay modest and only take what they must. Live amongst the people. These monsters are born into the world in the shape of a mist, and take any solid shape they like, so long as it does not resemble a human. These are the easiest forms to maintain, but if a monster wants to looks like a human, they must eat the flesh. Most monsters back in the day would appear as just that, monsters, but when they were found out and driven from their homes to the Whistling Wastes? They banded together to start their own land. They disguised as humans, luring them in, keeping them captive generation after generation, eating them as they saw fit. Now? Now that the wastes are filled with life and their food supply is secured? They tend to just look like normal monsters, indistinguishable unless someone spots them changing shape. Ofc, some who work with the humans try to mimic them, put them at ease, and the disguises are just ever so wrong. These are the uncanny Valley moments.

^Along those same lines, monsters who disguise as human without eating flesh often lose their form much more quickly, and tend to wear human disguises while hunting when they're away from home + easy prey. Dust has seen a Whistler lure someone down an alley and lash out before they could even scream.

<- Long story short? These are still monsters fundamentally, they are made of magic, so it's the solid humans which are hard to mimic and less monsters (though if they don't have a perfect idea in mind anatomy can get... iffy and almost body-horror for either way-). And most skilled monsters will have a set of 'persona' they put on to lure in their prey, but a starving or young one will totally take a person or voice from the preys normal environment and horribly twist it! (Oh!! And they would totally shift to look like skeletons when around Dust, and *he* would find it uncanny, if only because he can tell that under their clothes they didn't form the bones quite right so they shift a bit awkwardly!)

Meal-wise? I think it really depends on who's visiting or cooking! Some monsters prefer to eat the flesh Raw and juicy and still warm, while others take pleasure in cooking! And the funniest bit? Seasoning and additional flavors? Super super faint to a Whistling monster, because their magic refuses to recognize it as food/input that's important unless it's cranked up super high. So? Those who put flavor into their dishes? They are INTENSE. Which makes the meals very yummy sometimes, or too much, depending on any normal species eating it. Meanwhile others focus on presentation! I think those who meet with Dust focus more on the presentation and less on taste, because They think the aesthetic is important haha!

The gifts idea is super sick and I didn't even think about it! I think they're very sparse to waist resources, but I do like the concept of bones and leather! I think the most common gift of peace is a string of carved human teeth/bones. If it's placed on a door or worn on a person, it's a sign that this place/peeson is safe for their kind and an ally. Meanwhile they keep things like the leather to themselves for their weapons, armor, bags, etc. Though! Hair is strangely a big export for them too, because they tend to let humans tend to their own hair and it comes in different textures + colors that can be used in weaving and other fiber-arts. Human vertrebre are a big deal too, old traditions in which, giving a loved-one a vertebre is equivalent to throwing an apple in ancient Greece (it was a method of confession). Vertebre are displayed in many ways but are always safe and treasured!

And you nailed it! Humans are totally kept like cattle. Maybe a bit more humane, but not particularly. Most Whistling monsters view humans as lesser lifeforms and don't truly bother to acknowledge their sentience. It helps that *most* humans in Whistling are so many generations deep with only a few new ones every year or so? Yeah, they don't know any better. (I actually think Chara (Killer's backstory) was bought from Whistling in an auction as an infant and raised in Orchard post-smuggling.) Sometimes a monster will have attachments to a certain human and keep them around, like the cow you bottleraised from a calf you keep around? But that's far and few between, and usually those humans are miserable because they see what happens to the others.

(Fun fact! The oc I'm directly inserting for this area, Pretender, showcases a fun quirk about Whistling as well! He's a monster who works as essentially a Human Vet, and will heal health complications in stock/pet humans. He does it for the love of the job, he knows human anatomy better than anything because he studied, and he's great at it. He's also the best disguised in the whole kingdom. Only thing? His reputation as a doctor is SO well known that occasionally he gets letters or desperate humans coming in looking for treatment for illnesses. And he'll do them! For free! Because he's just having fun with it. The humans in Whistling are the most healthy humans across the continent, rivaling Sanctuary, and it's because without morals they were able to study. Eventually Pretender runs into a stray human who's usually non-verbal and young and kinda imprints on him, and he humors it. Only to get really attached and accidentally stop seeing humans as lesser, which throws his world-views for a loop lmao but that's unrelated-)

ANYWAYS!! Glad You're excited about this other kingdom! They won't be mentioned much/at all in the Main story I don't think unless it's a cameo, but I love fleshing it the world and it adds so much texture to the chaos happening around Orchard haha! (Also, again, perfect excuse to weave Doppletale's story in!)

Hey therian tumblr!

I posted about this on my main blog, @interstellar-cluster and I’m gonna post it here too! So, I want to make a Discord server for a bunch of sort of niche communities that I’m part of! I like to think a lot of them overlap so I want to make one big community!

Therianthropy and alterhumanity in general will be included, and it’s open to every kind of alterhumanity, including fxctionkin, physical alterhumans and more!

There will also be spaces for furries, plural folks, age and pet regressors, witches, pagans and other spiritual things, shifters, and neurodivergent and lgbt people!

I already posted a poll on my first post about this, and I want to spread my audience more by posting here as well.

So, the poll:

This poll will run for a week and my goal is 75 votes for Yes to open the server! At the time of posting this, the first poll has 65 votes total, so make sure to reblog this so as many people as possible see it!

Server has been made!

Alrighty y’all, I got impatient and decided to make the server anyway. Here’s the link for everyone who was interested!

It’s space-themed, like our system, and has a wholeeeee bunch of channels and bots to mess around with!!

Hope to see y’all there!
