Website Update and Announcement For Major Project

Our website, The Chimeras Library, has been updated.

Changes include:

An Updated "Symbols Found In The Alterhuman Communities" which now includes the symbols for endels, archetropes, and conceptkin!

An overhauled "A Deeper Look Into Cladotherianthropy."

Added a Spanish translation of  "A Timeline of the Therianthrope Community." Translated by the alterhuman aike.

Added a Spanish translation of "A Timeline of the Fictionkin Community." Translated by the alterhuman aike.

Added a Spanish translation of "A Timeline of the Alterhuman Community." Translated by the alterhuman aike.

Added a Spanish translation of "A Timeline of Plant-Identified People in the Otherkin Communities." Translated by the alterhuman aike.

We're also happy to announce a major project we hope to be sharing in the near future.

The Chimeras Archive.

The Chimeras Archive will consist of an ever updating link to a Zotero account hosting citations for the over 500 items of various media related to the alterhuman community, mentioning alterhumans, or of interest to alerhumanity.

Categories that will be included: academic books, dissertations, journal articles, academic lectures, theses, non-academic books, documentaries, lecture or convention panels, magazine articles, zines, TV broadcasts, newspaper articles, radio broadcasts, podcasts, novels, comics, games, movies, plays, and more.

The Chimeras Archive is an updated version of a project we have been working on for the past decade. We are committed to collecting materials as they relate to alterhuman and sharing their existence with others. This includes not only collecting the citations of these many different kinds of media but also acquiring physical/digital copies of these materials.

Unlike our other projects which have designated versions published in pdf form. Our plan is to instead run a live and updating Zotero listing and a document where the same information will be listed in written form.

As this is a massive overhaul of our existing project, the completion into these two formats is taking a significant amount of time please see our "Academic Publications, Non-Academic Publications, Media, Art, and Fiction Related To Nonhumanity" for the previous rendition of this project in the mean time. We plan on releasing links to our Zotero and the live document in the near future once we have had a chance to better layout the groundwork for them.

Ɐ + N/AHAA - Together in Difference

Ɐ (derived from the mathematical symbol meaning 'for all', and pronounced as 'Turned A') is a symbol/term for any and all within our overlapping communities.

We (those involved in coining this term) realised there was no actual term that encompasses all identities, seeing as not everyone identifies with alterhuman or nonhuman.

This symbol is for:

Anyone and everyone who doesn't identify with the traditional definition of humanity. This involves alterhumanity, nonhumans, therians, human and nonhuman fictionkin, otherkin, endels, holotheres, clinical zoanthropes, linkers, otherhearted, and ANYONE else who has an addition to their humanity, isn't human in the slightest, and everything in between.

Anyone who is ready to celebrate the overlaps between our communities, and allow us to experience a wider community without trying to put everyone under a human or not human label.

The celebration of being different! To laugh in the face of 'cringe' and embrace your unique experience of life.

We're also, in this post, coining the acronyms N/AHAA and/or ASAA! These are Non/Alterhuman and Adjacents, and Alterspecies and Adjacents! They both mean exactly the same as Ɐ, but are an easier to pronounce alternative.

The symbols in the pictures are completely free to use! They also don't have to be pawprints - we're working on alternate versions for different species.

Involved in coining:

@lycanm00n (me!), @koirankusema666, @canis-dentem, @howlinginsolitude and @devotional-devouring !

This symbol and term is NOT for any zoophiles, zootherians, MAPs, pedos, etc. Sanists, anti physical nonhumanity, ableists, and anyone fitting basic DNI is also not welcome to use this. This is a queer and neurodivergent friendly label.

• What's "alterhuman"?

◯⃤Alterhuman is an umbrella term including any identity that derives from the standard human experience. Yes! this includes human identities!

◯⃤Not all alterhuman people identify as non human, some alterhuman people are human.

☾⋆⁺₊✧ " Alterhuman is a term that refers to someone who does not fit the traditional standard of what is considered human, and/or does not identify as human. " ☾⋆⁺₊✧

[by lgbtqia.wiki, 28/12/23, sourced from alt-h.net]

☆━━━━━━☆━━━━━━☆━━━━━━☆

• Identities & other terms

A few identities under the alterhuman umbrella are, but are not limited to :

Constellic || Daemians & Daemons || Dragons || Endels || Furries || Fictionfolk || Nonhumans || Otherkin || Otherhearted || Otherlink || Otherflick || Phytanthrope || Synpath || Therians

Links to each term will be added progressively

Note that :

The term alterhuman is opt-in, many people can identify with one or more of these identities but chose to not associate themselves with the term alterhuman or any other umbrella term their chosen label can be found under]

These identities, even if some are etymologically similar to others, refer to groups and communities sourced/anchored/found in this(these) reality(universes).

☆━━━━━━☆━━━━━━☆━━━━━━☆

& Plurality is also often considered to be under the Alterhuman umbrella, although not all systems might identify as alterhuman solely because of their plurality, or identify as alterhuman at all. But due to the complexity of plurality, terms, analyses, and other resources concerning that community and identities, any further information will be sorted, stored and can be found in our partner blog : @plurality-resources &

tidaline flag (normal and simplified symbol) and symbols (under cut)!

🌊 an alterhuman identity caused or influenced by bipolar, schizoaffective or cyclothymic disorder; any symptom or mood state can cause or influence a tidaline identity as long as you consider it directly related to bipolar, shchizoaffective or cyclothymia 🌊 from "tidal" (related to or affected by the tide) and "-ine" (suffix meaning like, of or pertaining to, of the nature of, etc.); coined after the fluid and cyclical nature of the tides and the way water has both positive and negative symbolism depending on context 🌊 tidaline identities can be called tidetypes

symbol-free flag and templates:

further notes:

re: the term

"tidaline" works as both an adjective and a noun ("i'm tidaline" vs. "i am a tidaline"); the quality of being tidaline is called tidality

tidaline can be a standalone label or coexist with other labels; i.e. you can just be tidaline or your tidetypes can also count as endels, kintypes, etc. it's an umbrella term!

if you're considered in remission/are not actively experiencing symptoms but bipolar has/continues to significantly impact your identity, it still counts if you want to use the label!

with/as and voluntary/involuntary agnostic

re: the symbols

standard is the wave + eclipse graphic, simplified is the eclipse

see above regarding the relevance of waves to tidaline as a concept; the eclipse was chosen for similar reasons (duality, rising and setting, the sun and moon existing both separately and together, etc)

the colors pink, yellow, periwinkle and indigo in the standard were chosen to invoke the mad pride flag and represent mania and depression

redesigned the simplified one to be... simpler: the venn diagram is fairly self-explanatory, the star is the nonhumanity

re: the flag

the pink and yellow/warm stripes represent mania and hypomania, the indigo and blue/cool stripes represent depression, the middle purple represents mixed states, and the white represents mood equilibrium

the pink and purples were also chosen to invoke the mad pride flag

the flag's colors are generally patterned after a sunset on the ocean

[clinically-kitty]

Playing around w colors so those r subject to change but I like idea of the symbols having various specific versions too. Thoughts?

Also this is mainly meant for zoanthropes and other werebeast endels but im still considering whether werebeast kin r going to fall under it. A big factor in this unification is also the hardships that come with trasforming and/or physically believing yourself to be nonhuman which kin/therian isnt by definition and I dont rlly want this to be taken over by ppl who r just in it for the identity/for fun. Its a very different experience that gets treated like dirt enough by kin/therians and general public.

[diaunthric]

Diaunthric

Noun. "di-" (prefix) meaning: "double" or copy/replica. "auth" meaning: "authentic" or real. "-thro" (suffix) meaning: "anthro" or human.

Diaunthros are, "those who identify as or with a copy of another real human being, whether past or presently existing."

Usage:

A diaunthro person is diaunthric. a diaunthro may have a diaunth who is the american actress, marilyn monroe.

Purpose:

Terminology was created as a self-identifier and is synonymous with factkin and many other fact-identifiers. diaunthro removes the misidentification of human fact-identities experiencing otherkinity (nonhumanity) and provides a more accurate terminology in congruence with the alterhuman community as a whole.

Symbol:

The diaunthric symbol is the traditional factkin symbol. the imagery depicts a human with multiple diaunth's (shown as circles) being expressed.

Pride flag colors:

The diaunthric colors also follow the traditional factkin colors. the stripes are each different shades of grey. the stripes getting darker in shade moving away from the center.

Q&A

Q: Who can use this label?A: Diaunthro is a term that pertains to all fact-related human-specific alterhumans. Feel free to use it if it applies to you!

Q: What is the difference between a Diaunthro and a Factkin? A: Diaunthro are human-specific fact-identities. Factkin falls under the umbrella term of Otherkin which includes nonhuman fact-identities.

Q: Can sublabels be created? A: Absolutely! Sub terminology can be freely created so long as it stays consistent with the standard diaunthro definition.

Q: Is Diaunthro apart of Endelity? A: It definitely can be! Endelity is frequently apart of the diaunthro experience but not required.

Q: Can Factives use this terminology? A: For sure! So long as there is a distinction made between being a factive and fact-related alterhuman identity.

[epiceneandroid]

i was WAYYYY to late to do the blorbo gender coining event by @mousesquared but: in honor of me wanting to coin genders that i both vibe with and also remind me of my highest endel, dan hibiki, i present my personal (xenogender and anthrogender focused)gender coining challenge...the dan hibiki coining challenge. using mousesquared’s rules for the blorbo coining event, i will coin genders that have dan vibes, that dan will relate to, that resonate with dan’s Themes, and even resonate with dan’s best friends and sworn enemies.

i swear unto takayuki nakayama, i will NOT let this challenge down.

so, for day one: a gender that gives dan vibes, is this gender i personally asked for help with between another friend who likes fighting games that i will not mention here because they do not wish to participate in the mogai scene, despite having microlabels themselves, due to some Experiences. but i won’t get into that. anyway, onto the gender.

the gender is called h20dium (pronounced “eich-too-oh-dee-uhm”) and it’s definition is as follows:

H20DIUM: a gender that can only be described as, has the sensation of, or has the vibes of pure sodium coming into contact with water, causing an explosion of new genders.

i figure it’d fit him because of his sheer reactivity, and ALSO because he seems like the kind of person who once he starts realizing he has one gender, it’ll spiral into billions and billions of other little genders in equal amounts behind the one or two main genders he identifies with.

the colors in this flag symbolize the color of pure sodium (silvery white), the color of water (which is a bluish tint), and the last two colors are supposed to resemble a fiery explosion, with the final color, firebrick red, being a reference to a mistranslation of the kanji in dan’s last name (which reads, oftentimes by google translate, as firebrick). the explosion symbolizes the explosion that the pure chemical of sodium has in reaction to water.

again, this is a personal coin (both a “me” gender and also a gender relating to my strongest endel, dan hibiki) but can use this gender as long as they respect these boundaries:

-do NOT use this gender if you are transmisogynistic or “reclaim” transmisogynistic terms or slurs while being tme (this is a personal boundary mainly because i have a transfem partner and quite a few transfem friends that have stated in the past they feel uncomfortable with certain lgbt and mogai communities that do certain things like that, and thus, i feel similarly uncomfortable knowing their boundaries)

-do NOT use this gender if you are pro harmful kink. i’m talking cnc, raceplay, ageplay, “brocon”, “siscon”, “ddlg/mdlb/ddlb/mdlg” (and any of its variants), that kind of stuff. i have certain traumas associated with certain types of kinks like that and i won’t get into them but PLEASE, for my sake.

-if you’re “transid/transx/trans-age/trace-disabled/trans-race”. why are you using terms that are meant to make the trans community look like predators, wtf. biid and xenomelia are fine, those are actual disabilities, as well as people who self diagnosed or are professionally diagnosed with proposed disabilities (obsessive love disorder, schizo obsessive disorder, stuff like that). schizo ocd and dissociative ocd and obsessive love disorder and stuff like that are REAL phenomenons and so is xenomelia and biid, not “legitimized” racism.

-i am fine with any sort of system using my terms. just don’t be a dick to other systems. i would prefer if people who are anti-endo wouldn’t use my terms but i don’t mind on this one.

image description under the cut:

[image description: the h20dium flag, as designed by teddy jean epiceneandroid. the top stripe is silvery white, the second stripe is ocean blue, the third stripe is flame orange, and the last stripe is firebrick red. on top of the flag is a stock clip art of an explosion: it is in a starburst shape and it is orange with red and yellow accents. end image description.]

Endel Symbol History?

We've been trying to work on some things and we realized that we had missed adding the archetrope and the endel symbols to our Symbols Found In The Alterhuman & Related Communities document. So we've been working on that. However, we're struggling to find the origins of the endel symbol (the strawberry with a white flower) or any of the alternative endel symbols at the moment.

We'd love to add them if possible. Does anyone know about the origins/history of these symbols?

Endeles Knot

Dear Caroline:

I'll take your word for your reduction of romantic jealousy, but I don't really find it consistent with what I can guess of your attachment mind frame, and of some other tidbits of information that you have strewn in your path - things like your sardonic comments on polyamorous hierarchies, or your desire to crush rivals who overlapped in the professional and personal spheres. Be that as it may, I wouldn't bring it up against you, as I consider a certain degree of jealousy as a healthy and necessary manifestation of one's deep attachment to one's couple, a person with whom you hope to forge a perpetual togetherness in the form of an endless and unravelable knot. I am aware of all the Rationalist preaching about hacking this primary human emotion, and I guess it makes sense if and only if you adopt some of their premises, like a rejection of traditional, romantic, monogamous, one-person-investment relationships, but I very obviously don't, which leaves my realm of living and feeling at an infinite distance from theirs, and never the twain shall meet.

You are not a conventional woman, and I can imagine that your problems with many of your relationships were predicated on the fact that they were -at least in these areas- conventional men. It takes a real exercise of the will for me to imagine those girl-rivals of your youth as being more attractive than you, but then again I am not the most conventional of men, and probably fit along those people you later got better at finding.

Still, I feel your rationalizations at the end can be undercut by how much other people turn out to be sphinxes, weird logographic symbols that are quite difficult to ultimately know. You were talking of Pareto fronts here, but my mind was taking me to the Pareto distribution - you might be able to build a relatively effective model of a person as his or her desires at an 80% efficiency with only 20% of the information, but the remaining 20% is disproportionately important and requires unrealistic time and effort to truly map and decipher. Still, it is easy to envisage you at the Pareto frontier of many people, even if the quantitative is outdone by the qualitative.
