Welcome Home

thinking about this page from @sleepvines’ lovely zine “Kind”. been thinking about it a lot actually. it’s so simple but I got kinda choked up reading it. I wasn’t sure why it hit me like that at first.

welcome home. I didn’t even know there was one. there’s a home? what does this home look like? I see dry leaves and stones and singing around a fire and dancing. somewhere I don’t have to pretend to be human or “normal” . We all take off our human masks and we laugh about it. How hot and stuffy it was having those things on. Fangs and claws glinting in the moonlight and wings around bodies in an embrace. Howling together and more than one tail wagging. Growling and barking and drumming in intertwined rhythm. WHO’S that beast? WHO’S that beast? you’re that beast. you’re here and you’re home. Welcome home.

Where is home and how do I get there. How can I help the beasts that need it get there. Where is home. There’s a home? I thought beasts like me weren’t meant to have a home. But you said welcome home. I’m welcome. We’re welcome. Home.

a home for all beasts. it’s not so impossible.

”irony” as a substitute for authenticity is a fucking plague honestly . it’s pure self sabotage. emotional vulnerability is scary in some ways, but honestly, I wouldn’t trade anything for knowing that people love you for YOU and the real things you feel and not just the ways you conform to a specific social aesthetic . you aren’t an aesthetic . you are a whole person and you deserve to live your life as such .

honestly, the radicalizing event that made me ditch faux-ironic detachment is when I sent a hard-to-write sentimental message to someone I was (at the time) close with, and they sent the vomiting emoji back. it was like oh okay, that sucks. I am now of the opinion that it is 100x cooler and braver to be sappy with the people you care about.

[good evening! how the moon screams tonight...]

[my name is Dov. you pronounce it like “dove”, as in, “the silly goose dove into the lake.”]

[this space is a den of sorts for me to live and bark and howl about things that make my tail wag!]

[there aren’t very many things I know about myself yet. here are a few of those things.]

[I am not a human or an animal - I am a beast. I don’t always take the same form, but my preferred form is akin to a werewolf. two legs, claws, big sharp teeth and drool and the like.]

[sometimes I like to call myself a dog because dogs are silly and I’m silly but I’m not really a dog, I’m a beast.]

[I am a fully-grown male and in human terms I am “gay” and “queer" when it comes to the way I love. I have always been grateful to be a male but I also think transgender/nonbinary people and beasts and creatures are so wonderful and if that or any kind of “queerness” upsets you, you may want to get out of my den, because I would guess that having your beautiful bones added to my collection would upset you more.]

[my home is somewhere in a deep dark forest filled with pine trees and crystal blue lakes and jagged shadowy mountains and wet dirt and carcasses and skulls and bones and treasures to find and moths and misty wind and deep caves and deer and bison and squirrels for me to snack on and wolves and foxes and hawks to play with]

[it is a wonderful and beautiful thing to be a beast, but it is also sometimes a very sad and lonely thing. humans are afraid of me and disgusted by me, and I don’t know if there are any other beasts like me out there. I would love love love to learn how to feels to “make friends”. come say hi and send asks and messages and bark and give a big ol sniff I definitely do bite but very gently if I like you and also I give lots of hugs]

(DISCLAIMER: this account is rp but based in truth. Dov is a beast, but please interact with the respect and courtesy you’d give anyone else!)

(DNI: any kind of queerphobes, pedos, zoos, which should be obvious. will likely post nsfw, so minors will be blocked. otherwise will judge on an individual basis)

I love Suffering animatics/art where Odysseus has a chain or rope around his ankle, connecting him to the mast. not only is it a great reference to the source material, but it implies that someone on the ship was worried that the mere sight of Penelope might convince Odysseus to jump in the water, even though he knows its a siren who will kill him

and that they were so persuasive in this argument that Odysseus actually agreed to it

[grungularity]

Jesus could walk on water like that because he was actually one of those pooltoy furries. The church doesn't want you to know this. Because of woke.

some of my favourite excerpts from the street cat wiki

not to be that guy but it’s like. really telling the amount of support and attention has been given to like, tommy, dantdm, and jacksepticeye for calling out the lunchly members (logan paul, KSI, and mr beast) meanwhile rosanna pansino has been actively calling out mr beast’s abhorrent behavior for about a year now and she’s gotten virtually no support from the community despite the insane amount of (largely misogynistic) harassment she’s received for it. she’s one of the most vocal ccs against mr beast and the beast games, being in contact with over 200 contestants and using her platform to share their stories on a larger scale. it’s just really telling how the only cc who isn’t getting the spotlight and backing from the larger community is a woman

if a literal toddler can be president of the united states of america and a nazi who pays for boosted Diablo IV rankings can be the world’s richest man then I can be a fucking werewolf

you’re an individual with an infinite array of factors that make you one-of-a-kind and unique . you are your own being and not a copy of anything else . it’s only natural that your true inner identity is multifaceted and doesn’t fall neatly into a single box . if it feels right and authentic to you, it‘s not fake . I’ve never understood why others set such rigid boundaries for exploring nonhuman/alterhuman identities - isn’t this kind of exploration inherently radical to begin with?

how would anyone possibly have enough of a grasp on YOUR personal experiences to accurately call you a fake? I think it’s most important that you just be you in the way that it’s most natural to you (provided no one’s being hurt, of course) and if folks try and call you a fake for that call them on their bullshit

How do y'all deal with feeling "fake" or "not alterhuman enough"?

I constantly feel invalid because I have many kintypes, and it bothers me. So. Much.

Instead of feeling curios or exited when questioning a new identity, I just feel dread and pray that I'm wrong. That I'm not yet ANOTHER animal. It sucks. I feel as if I can't truly be myself, because being myself means being "fake"

Are there any good ways to cope with that feeling? :')

You ask grunkle Stan about his pronouns and he says "PRO nouns? Oh no, I don't buy the pro stuff. Way too expensive. Know how I'm saving? AMATEUR nouns. You know, he/huh?, She/sigh... eh?/aer. The good stuff! Tell ya what, I'll give you an only *slightly* used they/phlegm for 50 percent off!!!"
