I CANNOT argue with nonhumans like whatever you say gorgeous creature. Can I do a biology depth study on you/make a conspiracy theory commentary video on you/ take unnerving pictures of you sneaking around in the woods/ feed you a peace of cheese/study you under a microscope? Babes I cannot you guys are so cool.

[crypt-void]

Born to walk around in the woods, and have someone shriek in horror, exclaiming, "Good GOD, what is that thing!?"

Then, to have a group of kids make up stories about that weird dog thing that stares at you from the edge of the woods.

Forced to just be socially awkward and pay taxes.

[thecouncilofcreatures]

Oh, we need to get this for Mayhem!

oh to have a reactive/guard/police dog jacket with these patches...

I was never meant to be apart of society.

I was meant to crawl around the forest and make freaky noises.

[solaris-v0id]

A PSA to all the eldrich abominations, cryptids, wild animals running through the woods, endless pits and other nonhuman entities.

Make sure to eat something and drink some water

Even horrors beyond imagination need to sustain themselves

Trotting into my den (bed) to curl up and sleep (scroll on my phone) after a successful hunt (walked to the post office)

Me (an externally undead vampire) draping my cape over my shoulders (putting on my black hoodie) to go stalking the night in search of my next prey (walking to the convenience store at 9 pm for a bag of chips and a dr pepper)

Being polykin is fun, cause not only am I questioning a new kintype ever other day, no, the kintypes I'm questioning are getting progressively weirder!

One of the things currently on my mind is:

Ancient, diety-esk being in the form of a male deer which roams the forest and protects it. If a friendly human comes near it the human will simply see a curious buck, but if the human sees itself above nature and its powers it will see a demonic creature instead, if the human shows fear in front of the diety, the diety will eat it.

What kintypes are you🫵 currently questioning? ☺️✨

Cryptid Behavior

Rain, [10/3/2024 9:16 PM] SO. I go to the store and its a real nice night out. The sun just set so its dusk. Stars are showing up, the horizon is getting darker. It's PEAK coyote time. When I get back I park and instead of going straight inside, I decide "fuckit" imma walk to the end of the road and just take in the sights from nature and this lil park here. It was... soul healing Rain, [10/3/2024 9:19 PM] I'm just standing in the gravel at the end of the road, before it dips down into the ravine and just like. yknow. lookin at stuff. (aka standing still) Rain, [10/3/2024 9:20 PM] and right as I'm about to turn away and go to my house a car is coming down the street. Its 8pm. I should've figured folks would be getting home from work soon enough. I hope they will turn down the other street but the headlights persist... kinda harshing the vibes imo Rain, [10/3/2024 9:23 PM] 'cept the headlights don't budge. I expect to hear the car turn or the lights to move away but they don't. Rain, [10/3/2024 9:26 PM] At this point it occurs to me that they want to park in the spots near me, and now see a figure in red and brown earth tones standing in the darkened brush with its back turned, silently staring out at nothing Rain, [10/3/2024 9:32 PM] I turn my head to nod in the direction of their parking spot and turn back. My hair was blocking my face but I'd like to think they saw me for a second.   because as soon as I did this they hurriedly turned to pull into the parking spot.  Rain, [10/3/2024 9:34 PM] and I didn't do it on purpose per se but as soon as their headlights were off of me I walked back up the road. I was on the other side of their vehicle before their headlights even went off. By the time I head their door open I was halfway back to my house. Rain, [10/3/2024 9:36 PM] So, had they parked their car, hopped out and looked for the mystery figure in the dark, they wouldn't have seen a thing.  I hope my neighbors spotted a fucking cryptid today

I'm just an animal.

Humans and I aren't the same species. Somehow, it's like they see the animal in me. Speak to me as rarely as they can, skirt around where I step like I'm a danger to them. They speak in a language I don't recognize, make quips about how ragged I look, how uncanny my behaviour is, and how sharp these teeth and claws I hold look in their eyes.

I am not built the same as them. My mind and body are made from different flesh. And they can tell. They can tell just from looking at me. Not one of us, I see the thought behind their eyes. I can't understand the concept that one of them could not be a danger to me, that any of them don't want to hurt me the way they have my whole life. I snarl and bite my teeth at them, then cover my mouth in hot shame. I can't even mimic their rage.

My teeth are inhuman and monstrous. I look at them in the mirror and see a wide animal maw staring back at me. I learned early to not smile or laugh in a way that shows them off. Humans don't like when a beast bares it's teeth at them.

My voice is garbled and broken, throat damaged from mimicking a language my vocal chords didn't evolve to speak. I used to take comfort in growling, snarling, crowing, screaming. It became clear that did nothing but scare them. I stopped.

Finding ones that aren't a danger is almost worse. Longing. I can be a good animal for you. Bite my tongue and hide my teeth away from you. Never speak so you can say anything you want to me. I can lay on the floor so you don't have to share your furniture with a filthy creature. Let me stay, I can be a good animal for you. I would be so good at it.

I'm as much a human as I am a rock or a leaf in the dirt below their feet.

Would the furries be mad if a nonfurry made a fursona? Or is that not cool even if you're nonhuman?

15 Moodboard Challenge for Therians 💚

Day 4: What’s your favourite phantom part?

I miss my tentacles, they why they’d twist and bend,

I miss my wings, and the feeling of wind rushing by,

I miss my tail, the rigid scales, and the flow of water,

I miss all my eyes, and the ability to see the world in so many ways,

I miss my sharp teeth, and the way they could keep predators away,

I miss my antlers, I long to decorate them once more, with vines and flowers,

I miss my hooves, and they way they’d gracefully propel me through the forest,

I miss my extra limbs, how I’d love to stretch them out and explore the world once more, being able to hold so much, and do such wonderful things,

And yet here I lay with nothing but my simple human form, with the soul of another, that longs for so much more.

tip for disabled nonhumans or nonhumans who do not live near accessible natural areas: i highly recommend gardening if you are able to! even something incredibly small like a succulent, or just one potted plant, or maybe several pots, or planters, it's up to you and your level of ability. sometimes we need to be around nature and we can't physically leave to reach it. it really genuinely does help to bring it to yourself

it helps to nurture and care for natural life and to spend time with it. spending time among trees, flowers, plants and dirt is good for the soul and good for mental health, it's a nice way to give yourself some of that 'being one with nature' feeling you're looking for. plus, if you are able to keep a garden outside, you will experience all kinds of cool critters coming to check out your plants. you will be able to exercise your nonhuman curiosity by taking a peek at some of the bugs that have come by

i know this won't work for everyone, but it has helped me a lot, it makes me feel like i have somewhat of a connection with the woods again, so it brings me some peace. hope this can help someone else, too

[solaris-v0id]

Another PSA, you do not have to be human to deserve basic respect.

I think some of us who identify as non-human in any form forget this sometimes, even myself.

You don’t have to be or feel human to be deserving of

- care

-sympathy

- a good life

- basic necessities

- love

- dignity

- people/things that care about you

- the ability to be yourself

- happiness
