Blog cover by @/katiethecreature.

🦅 Introduction 🦅

Salutations! You may call me Captain, though I also go by Phoebe (along with various kin names/nicknames). I am 16 years old and autistic, with an interest in ornithology, the sciences, and ghost-related fiction.

I am not a particularly sociable person, but I hope to interact with like-minded individuals. This blog will consequently focus on my experiences as an avian therian.

Tumblr is not where I am most active — if you are looking to reach me, please do so through my Discord (@sayornis_spectre). [Excuse the different user; this account is a bit of an incognito one.]

(More under the cut!)

🪶 Theriotypes

(Flags were designed by me and entirely free for others to use — they signify a Wallace’s Hawk-eagle therian and Common [Eurasian] Kestrel therian [though the flag is specifically based on female kestrels].)

Wallace’s Hawk-eagle (Nisaetus nanus)

Common Kestrel (Falco tinnunculus)

I am also a Lemon Shark (Negaprion brevirostris), along with Falco- (genus) and Carcharhinidae-hearted (with heavy emphasis on Blacktip Reef Sharks [Carcharhinus melanopterus], which is more of a midst-type).

(I have a variety of other additional kintypes and heart-types, though my experiences revolving around these are not the focus of this blog.)

If you are curious about the shark elements of my identity, visit my side-blog, @negaprion-nerd!

🪶 Pronouns

I predominantly use bird-themed noun neopronouns, as my gender is largely influenced by my alterhumanity. Not all of my preferred pronouns are listed — feel free to experiment with others. The only one notably off-limits is ‘tweet’ (as a noun neopronoun); this has been used in an offensive manner towards me in the past and has negative associations.

chirp/chirp/chirps/chirpself

ghost/ghost/ghosts/ghostself

bite/bite/bites/biteself

beak/beaker/beakers/beakerself

it/it/its/itself

The comprehensive list of my pronouns (and names/nicknames) can be found in this Google document.

🪶Interests

My non-bird-related interests will seldom be mentioned here; I am listing them purely as conversational starting-points (I have no objections to chatting about shared interests — feel free to approach me about any of them!).

Despite this, keep in mind that these are my interests, and not always my areas of expertise. Though I know a considerable amount about some of the listed, I may just be looking to research into them. Do not ask me for information of the following; this makes me uncomfortable.

(It should be noted that I have left many of my interests unlisted.)

Natural Sciences as a whole (this is another special interest of mine)

🪶 Tag Key

#captips posts revolving around things I like to do to feel closer to my theriotype/s.

#nis-art-tus posts including art/crafts I have made. I am mostly a digital artist, but I do dabble in physical mediums.

#facto tinnunculus miscellaneous bird facts, perhaps relevant to avian therians.

#cap’s userboxes all fulfilled userbox requests will be tagged with this — anyone is welcome to use these userboxes, regardless of having requested them or not, so long as I am credited. (There may be exceptions, which will be stated within the post itself.)

🧪 As of the 5th of September (2024), I no longer take requests.

Please do not use these without my prior approval. Some of these userboxes are tailored specifically to my personal needs, and I am therefore uncomfortable with them being used by others.

Salutations! I hope your day so far has been well. (I really do hope I read your information correctly —) I would like to request a fictionkin wallpaper for an iPad Mini 5, please ^v^

The main subject is both the Captain from BBC Ghosts and Edwin Payne from Netflix’s Dead Boy Detectives (show) — if possible, of course! (I will be perfectly content if you opt for only one of these characters, instead. Preferably Edwin?)

A darker, less saturated, green-and-blue colour palette would be fantastic, with themes of bird taxidermy and old-fashioned offices (only if achievable — I know it is quite the niche ask). I have no preference as to whether or not you include the fictionkin symbol: either works.

Thank you so much for your time!

cw: bird taxidermy

here you go, I hope you enjoy! a little saddening seeing the taxidermy, but it’s all good <:)

Not entirely related to the blog, but:

I’m way too indecisive to stick to a sona design (I think the fact visually representing all aspects of my identity combined is hard doesn’t help), but I sketched myself yet another one!

It currently has no name— I’m considering Schrödinger or Spectroscopy —but I’m pretty content with how it looks.

Implied, admitted, then explained my alterhumanity to an IRL today. She’s been incredibly receptive and took it completely in stride; I could not express how much I appreciate her. I love my friend!!

I got bored and wanted to do something low-effort, so I made myself a moodboard out of Unsplash pictures.

The images seem pretty random but I swear I have a coherent identity. /lh
