Made an updated version of this with a bit more info on things and a few tweaks, so go check out that version here!

I've made a few posts talking about things in the nonhuman and alterhuman communities recently, mostly just brief looks into them, so I thought I would share this one.

The info may not be all that much, and could easily be expanded upon, but I did my best for a simple bit of info for certain things.

All pictures have ALT text included, but I shall post the text also here, under a cut, cause it's a bit long, lol

Nonhuman as an identity: To identify as not human either fully or partially. (hate/trolls will be reported and deleted)

Reminder: These are all personal identities and why someone identifies as nonhuman and what term someone decides to use for themself is exclusively their business. In the end it is what makes the most sense to the individual and not up to others. Now, onto some of the communities that are included under the nonhuman identity:

Otherkin: from the term "otherkind" - an identity which typically encompasses being wholly or partially a nonhuman entity. Usually understood to cover those who identify as mythical creatures and other fantastical things. Also covers those that fall outside of beings and creatures.

Examples of non-being or creature based identities: Conceptkin: an identity where one identifies as a concept such as the concept of night or fire. Objectkin: and identity where one identifies as an object. Songkin: an identity where one identifies as a song.

Examples of being and creature based identities: Therianthropy: usually shortened to therian - where one identifies AS a nonhuman animal. Some will say that this term refers to only earthen animals, living or extinct, but it has never only encompassed earthly animals. The community's language came from those who identify as werecreatures. Theriomythic: an alternate identity term for one who identifies in some intrinsic was as a mythical creature. Paleotherian: an identity term for one who identifies as a now extinct earthly animal, like a dinosaur or mammoth.

Cladotherian or Cladokin: an identity term for one who does not identify as a distinct species, but a broader identity encompassing an entire genus or larger grouping. Cladomythic: an identity term for one who identifies as a group (clade) of animalistic mythical creatures.

Fictionkin: an identity term that covers all things fictional. For those who identify as something fictional like characters, animals, species, objects, etc. These can be from books, shows, video games, etc, but not always! Original fictional characters and such are also possible.

There are many other identities that fall under the nonhuman umbrella which is why it's important to do your own research to figure out if a certain term works for you. All these identities share the trait of being involuntary. You cannot choose to be therian, otherkin, or the other mentioned identities.

While the already mentioned identities are involuntary, there are some identities that fall under being voluntary. Otherlink: an identity where one voluntarily identifies as nonhuman. Copinglink: an identity where one voluntarily identifies as nonhuman to copes with things such as trauma, stress, etc.

A lot of people may also say that it is impossible to become a therian, otherkin, etc. While the identity is involuntary, things like trauma and neurodivergence can cause an individual to take on a nonhuman identity when they had not had one previously.

Most will usually see people explain that these identities are spiritual or psychological, but these are only some of the ways that individuals may experience them. Some other experiences of nonhumanity: Symbolic Metaphorical Ancestral Physical (Yes this is an actual reason for some and they are just as much a part of the community as anyone else. Physical and Ancestral nonhumans are part of the community's history and some of its founders.)

For those looking for more information, and community places, here are some places to check out! Werelist Nonhuman National Park Alterhuman Archive The Chimera's Library. The above are forums and archives of information on the community. Most archived information is thanks to who-is-page, liongoatsnake and frameacloud on tumblr.

While this is a brief look into the nonhuman identity that I could share, I do hope it has been helpful in some way. Remember to be true to yourself, and don't let anyone tell you how to feel. Ignore, report, delete and block the haters!

Yeen out~

[marshmallowmateys-ship]

Does anyone else have a cladokin of a fictional race or species?

I mainly see cladotherian which isn't bad, since cladokin stuff is hard to find, but sometimes I feel I'm in a small boat of an already small boat

"You were on your phone 1 hr 13 m more than last week" I don't fucking care I'm a dog

[kitthefoxkin]

species euphoria moment: running barefoot!

I've always preferred running without shoes. i feel too restricted with them on, even in running shoes. when im barefoot, it just feels natural. i run on my toes and can propel myself best without fabric restricting my movements. had to run outside earlier to help a friend of mine park and was barefoot-- felt SO creature-like. i wish i could run barefoot everywhere without hurting my feet :(

[sunanthrope]

I began identifying as a therian when I was in 3rd grade. Yes, with the label "therian." I've always been a canine but its gone between black wolf, German shepherd, husky, and now settled at Wolf clado and belgian malinois/German shepherd (both, linked, the same dog, but I don't think it's a mix? Hard to explain. Like I identify with both breeds as the same dog)

Being a therian has never not been cringey. The problem isn't young therians, the problem is cringe culture in this community. People change and grow and learn, its normal. When I was 10 I was transmed and didn't believe non binary people existed. Now I'm non binary and distinctly NOT transmed.

Let's not go so far one way we loop around

People under the age of 15 can be Therians

You can be a Therian and like and post about gear

You can be connected to your Theriotype

You can be a Therian and do quads

I understand being upset that Therianthropy is looked at by some both in and out the community as just gear, quads, and a simple connection but don't live long enough to be the villain.

[kiturru]

Can we stop judging people for what content they consume within their own time please (as long as it fits legal guidelines, ofcourse)? You like that game? Cool! What do you do in it? You like that show? Tell me about it! You enjoy that ship? Wanna tell me your headcanons? What do you like about their dynamic? They look cute! You like to cosplay? Whats your favourite character to dress as? You're a furry? Me too! Can I see your fursuit? You're alterhuman, therian, etc? That's so cool! Whats your kintype? I'm a feline cladokin, and an otterkin. You like that hobby? What do you like about it? I'd love to hear!! You age regress? Thanks for feeling comfy enough to tell me! Wanna talk about it? You pet regress? To what animal? I regress to a kitten!

You do you!! Don't let people judge you for that. Small reminder that its your job to police what you do and don't engage with online, others can like what they like. If you don't want someone who does a specific thing interacting with you, block them. They're just living their life! I love you all :33 [ps, sexual things were not mentioned here as i couldn't think of many examples, im not rlly on a kinky side of tumblr. but you're valid for your tastes too!! its your own life.]

[creatureheart]

Decided to update my "a basic look into the nonhuman identity" post.

All of it is basically the same as the old one, but with a few minor tweaks here and there. =D

All pictures have ALT text included, plain text under the cut.

Nonhuman as an identity: To identify as not human either fully or partially. (hate/trolls will be reported and deleted)

Reminder: These are all personal identities and why someone identifies as nonhuman and what term someone decides to use for themself is exclusively their business. In the end it is what makes the most sense to the individual and not up to others. Now, onto some of the communities that are included under the nonhuman identity:

Nonhuman: To identify as not human either fully or partially. Used both as an umbrella term, and a standalone identity. How specific you get with your identity and what terms you use is entirely up to you. Sometimes "nonhuman" is enough.

Otherkin: from the term "otherkind" - an identity which typically encompasses being wholly or partially a nonhuman entity. Usually understood to cover those who identify as mythical creatures and other fantastical things, but these are not the only things otherkin covers. Also encompasses non-creature/being nonhuman identities.

Examples of non-creature/being based identities: Conceptkin: an identity where one identifies as a concept such as the concept of night or fire. Objectkin: and identity where one identifies as an object. Songkin: an identity where one identifies as a song. Phytanthrope or Plantkin: an identity where one identifies as a plant.

Examples of creature/being based identities: Therianthropy: usually shortened to therian - where one identifies AS a nonhuman animal. Some will say that this term refers to only earthen animals, living or extinct, but it has never only encompassed earthly animals. The community's language came from those who identify as werecreatures.

Theriomythic: an alternate identity term for one who identifies in some intrinsic was as a mythical creature, typically refers to those with animalistic characteristics. Paleotherian: an identity term for one who identifies as a now extinct earthly animal, like a dinosaur or mammoth.

Cladotherian or Cladokin: an identity term for one who does not identify as a distinct species, but a broader identity encompassing an entire genus or larger grouping. Cladomythic: an identity term for one who identifies as a group (clade) of animalistic mythical creatures.

Fictionkin: an identity term that covers all things fictional. For those who identify as something fictional like characters, animals, species, objects, etc. These can be from books, shows, video games, etc, but not always! Original fictional characters and such are also possible. No all those who are fictionkin identify as nonhuman.

There are many other identities that fall under the nonhuman umbrella which is why it's important to do your own research to figure out if a certain term works for you. While these identities are experience mostly involuntarily, the line between voluntary and involuntary can sometimes be incredibly blurry and hard to explain and figure out.

While the already mentioned identities are mostly involuntary, here are some identities that fall under being voluntary. Copinglink or Otherlink: an identity where one voluntarily identifies as nonhuman. Able to be changed as need dictates. This could be for a number of reasons, some examples being simply wanting to identify as nonhuman or as a consciously created coping mechanism. Copinglink was coined by Who-is-page, who made an official definition post in 2016, the definition detailing that the term is for all that want to take on a voluntary nonhuman identity, and not just for coping reasons.

A lot of people may also say that it is impossible to become a therian, otherkin, etc. While the identity is mostly involuntary, things like trauma and neurodivergence can cause an individual to take on a nonhuman identity when they had not had one previously.

Most will usually see people explain that these identities are spiritual or psychological, but these are only some of the ways that individuals may experience them. Some other experiences of nonhumanity: Symbolic, Metaphorical, Ancestral, Physical (Yes this is an actual reason for some and they are just as much a part of the community as anyone else. Physical and Ancestral nonhumans are part of the community's history and some of its founders.)

[kitthefoxkin]

1) i consider myself otherkin, otherlink, and otherhearted. i prefer the term otherkin over therian.

2) red fox otherkin + hearted, ocelot otherkin + hearted, rabbitkin (copingkin/copinglink), canine cladokin (copingkin/copinglink), grey fox otherhearted, North American River otter funlink, and questioning many others! >:3c

3) yes! i experience consistent physical shifts of phantom ears, tail, muzzle, paws, fur, and fangs. typically, they're of my red fox kintype. i experience behavioral shifts often, but especially when under stress. my strangest cameo shift was actually way before I knew I was otherkin and im not quite sure what it was! i experienced large phantom horns and a long, thin tail with a furred tuft at the end.

4) for me, its just something in the background. its a fact of life. i still do everything the same as before I found out that im otherkin, im just a fox now. sometimes I'll be doing chores or doing my hobbies and remember, so I go step outside for a minute to appease my animal 'types. i experience species dysphoria sometimes, but it's been much less severe in recent months. overall it's just a fact of life for me.

5) i think the community is wonderful!! especially on Tumblr. there's some discourse and negativity, but compared to other alterhuman spaces, Tumblr is by far the best place to be imo. i have a hard time sometimes with misinformed critters on apps like tiktok, but i know that they're just not informed properly and they aren't malicious.

6) wearing gear and being referred to as an animal in any way makes me so euphoric! my friends/partner will call me a fox sometimes and it just makes me so happy. wearing my tail also makes me really happy, especially when I see it wag on my shadow. i hope to get a boingy tail sometime soon for extra wags :33 i also really enjoy acting as my kintypes whenever im alone. i have a strong sense of paranoia when trying to express my alterhumanity due to my location, but when im just alone in my bedroom i can finally let go. its so freeing.

7) im not experiencing species dysphoria at the moment, but I do on occasion. like I said earlier, its not nearly as bad as it used to be (almost constant). i think just being able to put a label on myself and say that i am an animal helps relieve some of it. when I do feel dysphoric, i spend time in alterhuman spaces online, which helps relieve some of it.

8) don't put too much pressure on yourself. especially on tiktok, there's a lot of pressure to use the right label and figure out your theriotype right away and do quads, and you don't need to do any of that. there's no point in stressing over if you're ACTUALLY a therian or if you're otherhearted, otherlink, etc and worrying about using the wrong label. i promise you, its not that important. you can just be. /pos

9) yes to both! i currently own a taxidermy fox tail, a spiked choker that simulates a collar, a few masks that im working on, and a set of fox ears on the way. i really want professionally made masks, a boingy tail, matching ear/tail sets, a collar with my name, a human muzzle, and more canine-focused gear for my bedroom like blankets and dog bowls. i also would like to make myself a kennel sometime in the future with blankets and pillows, both for my canine 'types and for coping.

10) i believe my alterhumanity stems heavily from trauma and being AUDHD in a neurotypical world. I've always felt disconnected from others, like im just not quite right. there were some i could connect with, but overall I felt and was treated like a "something" rather than a person due to my autistic traits. ive also experienced complex trauma that caused me to feel trapped, in danger, and helpless, which I think led to both my canine and rabbit 'types as a way of coping. my canine kintype is a protector almost, and my rabbit kintype is a self-preservation tactic. they don't bring me distress though!

11) anybeast who wants to participate (⁠.⁠ ⁠❛⁠ ⁠ᴗ⁠ ⁠❛⁠.⁠)

(thank u for the tag!!)

Intro - may be updated -

-Not a joke blog-

This blog is for my Canine / Divine / Robot / Space IDs.

My name is Maddy, but I use multiple names here, such as Grimm, Light, or Grimmlight.

I am 20 years old in this body, my birthday is on May 25th, I am 5’6, I am a Gemini, I am a straight cis female, I am mateless, my pronouns are she/her, and I am a vegan for the animals.

I am a Spiritual / semi - Psychological Omni, Omninonhuman / Omnitherian / Omnikin / Omnibeing, aka Allkin / Everythingkin. In other terms, I identify as being Omni, Omnipresent, Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnibenevolent, Omnipotential, Ubiquitous. Other suitable labels / terms that do or can describe me are:

For anyone who needs it, here’s a guide of all or most alterhuman labels / terms:

https://www.beyondhumanity.net/alterhuman-dictionary

Some prominent identities derive from alternate lives, such as past, future, parallel, and dream lives, but my identity does not derive from imprinting, neurodivergence, or trauma. Although some identities have been discovered through psychological means, they are still fully spiritual.

Omninonhuman is a term a coined for myself, meaning I identify as any and all, that is nonhuman. Including, but not limited to, not that there are any limits besides humans:

All earthly and non-earthly animals, beings, creatures, extant, extinct, insects, nature, elements, dirt, grass, plants, trees, flowers, fungi, rocks, stone, metals, crystals, water, land, sky, clouds, biomes, magical, mystical, mythical, mythological, supernatural, celestial, cosmic, galactic, divine, holy, unholy, infernal, universal, living, nonliving, undead, thoughts, memories, souls, minds, consciousness, unconsciousness, existence, nonexistence, life, death, spatial, spiritual, physical, psychological, mental, astral, eldritch, dimensional, inter-dimensional, otherworldly, dimensions, realms, worlds, planes, levels, realities, solar systems, stars, suns, planets, moons, energy, matter, antimatter, atoms, cells, atmospheres, alien, microscopic, voids, black holes, super novas, nebulas, dying stars, merging stars, shooting stars, comets, meteors, meteorites, darkness, light, purity, corruption, angelic, demonic, heavenly, heaven, hell, limbo, purgatory, technology, technical, technological, artificial intelligence, machinery, robots, machines, computers, circuits, firewalls, drones, androids, mechs, mechas, databases, data, viruses, motherboards, memory boards, wires, cords, songs, lyrics, melodies, music, musical, instrumental, sound, noise, time, space, material, immaterial, etc.

Nonhumans, regressors, furries, and systems are welcome here as long as you follow the dni.

Dni under da cut-

Since I am vegan for the animals, talk about animal abuse / cruelty with me will not be appreciated in the slightest. And if you are, or support, or are neutral about the following things, please do not interact, and leave me in peace without any comments or confrontation, or even if you're just curious about it.

DNI: Hunters/hunting, trappers/trapping, smokers/smoking, vapers/vaping, juulers/juuling, four-twenty/ weed/marijuana/drug related, fishers/fishing, animal farmers/farming, taxidermists/taxidermy, vulture culture/enthusiasts, "oddity" manufacturers/ collectors, animal part (fur, skin, pelts, bones, skeletons, claws, teeth, feet, hooves, antlers, horns, jackets, coats, boots, leather, clothing, jewelry, accessories, decorations, insects, roadkill ) selling/ buying/collecting, z••iles, horse riders/riding, horse racers/racing, dog racers/racing, dog sledders/sledding, pro-/self-shippers, etc. etc.
