#alterhuman identity

[im-not-just-physical]

i swear if I lived in the era of my ancestors, they wouldn't say I'm mentally ill. Actually they would think it's cool I talk with spirits and I have an animal based non human mind and the fact I can craft masks and ornaments and animals like me.

[puddin-dear]

I dunno when my alterhumanity went from being all mystical and magical, to casual and indifferent but its so funny to me.

Im probably phrasing this poorly but lemme give an example.

On the bus today, omw home from school. I randomly felt my ear-wings and back wings show up, which is an experience in the past I would’ve been overly excited about. But now, I found my first thought being “damn. how am I gotta fit my bag on now without with these in the way”.

Not exactly an exciting story, but I just find it funny that phantom shifts and critter behavior are just my norm now.

Not anything mystical. Just normal.

[celestiallyslimy]

My other boyfriend said I am the embodiment of moon moon and uh yeah that's me I am the dumb one sure I'll embrace it /lh

Alter humans fellas, have you ever had negative comments about your therio/kintype? For example, about cruel behaviors that the animal or creature can have, preconceived ideas about it..

Because personally, having a xenomorph kin, I have already been criticized for being a "killing machine". Like.. I know that xenomorphs are not shown and known to be super affectionate creatures but when people tell me things like that it's just harsh.. I have my own particular vision of my kin and I know that almost no one has the same vision, which means that I rarely express myself on this kin.

Nonhuvalper

a term for those who feel like they can't be perceived as anything but nonhuman; or need to be perceived as nonhuman to feel valid.

Do not tag as gender.

Otherkin beings, alterhumans, nonhumans, therians.

Send me an ask and tell the world what you are. Use as many or few words as you want without censoring yourself. It can be written like a poem or straight forward and simple. Do what feels right for you.

My goal is to collect and archive until we have enough entries to make a zine out of it that can be downloaded and passed around for free. I want to make our voices less quiet. 

❗️We have enough entries! Look at the pinned post to see what’s next.

How it works

You send me an ask. Short and simple example:

“I’m a ___.”

I will post your ask (I'll use the queue to space the posts out a bit) and put it down on the zine as:

“I’m a ___.” -Anonymous

If you don’t want to be cited as anonymous, you need to tell me. Like this, for example:

“I’m a ___. -Blue”

You can ad as much information as you want. An example:

“I’m a ___. -Blue, they/them, 21”

That would look like this in the zine:

“I’m a ___.” -Blue, they/them, 21

I hope I explained it in an easy to understand way!

I will cite the asks exactly how I receive them, including things that I think are typos. I don’t want to accidentally change something that was done on purpose. If you want to correct a mistake you���ve made, just comment under the respective post. I can’t allow this for anons because I need a way to know the request comes from the being that made the original ask.

Update

We already have over 30 entries! Given that number, I can confidently say that this zine will happen. I already started working on it. I'm excited! 

(Some of these entries are bringing me to tears omg /pos)

❗️We have enough entries! Look at the pinned post to see what’s next.

Informational posts and basically anything about the zine, my process and eventual questions I may have -> #other info

Hnnnnnggggggg my teeth are itchy I need to bite something so badddddddd

Having conflicting Kintypes is so strange and upsetting at times. For context I am both Angelkin and demonkin, and recently I had an experience where I was in a church (I’m not often in them)

While I was euphoric about being in the space because I’m an Angel, I was simultaneously dysphoric as well as euphoric as a demon.

My head hurts almost every time I’m within a church, I know this is most likely due to bright lights and sounds affecting me (I’m autistic) but the headaches make me dysphoric as an Angel, and euphoric as a Demon.

I feel as though I belong, but also don’t, because of two conflicting identities.

It’s rough, and really sucks.

I need someone to wrap their wings around me before i rip my own out.

Therians who mock Therians (young or old) for wearing gear are stupid. I saw a post of an adult Therian mocking two CHILDREN (aprox 11-12) for wearing tails and masks.

The Therian community is already hated enough, for someone to think they are better than another Therian for expressing their Therianthropy differently is moronic.

They also remarked them being “tiktok” therians and “fake” for it. Seriously what the fuck. People like this bristle my fur so much, just no. No.

This goes out to all the Newly awakens. If you wear gear, you are no less or more than a Therian who doesn’t. That goes for the opposite as well. Express your identity however you wish, stay safe out there <3

"you are what is in your pants!"

"there's nothing"

"I identify as there's nothing in my pants"

"bro what-"
