Tiktok therians: Therians don't ACTUALLY believe they're animals!!

The observable universe:

I mapped out my alterhuman identities.

(The sliders are in arbitrary positions as it's meant to show how my kintypes fluctuate; which I imagine kind of like a soundboard. The grey box next to "doll trapped" is a checkbox.)

I learned a lot of new terms and concepts at Othercon and have done a lot of reflecting and introspecting. I've finally officially decided to be a catlinker and I've reconsider my stance that the term "therian" doesn't apply to me. I've decided that it does.I've also come to the realization that it feels kind of like my light kintype has its own kintypes due to a panelist mentioning a nesting doll kintype situation. I don't believe my alterhumanity has anything to do with past lives personally (the octoling kardiatype is due to basically what I would describe as a parallel life that's been manifested into CyanTide (previself party member)), but I'm sure there could be other causes. Maybe more parallel lives. I'm pretty sure that's the case with my aliedragon (MoonLighter) kintype, as manifested in Glow Bright (previme party member).

Also, I don't have a good term for when I'm trapped in a doll. It's not a kintype or a paratype or a hearttype or a hearthome or anything. My anymic glitchy kintype is kind of like a spirit and a specter, but it's not a ghost. Even still, it's like sometimes it's bound to this old doll and gets trapped inside against its will. Not always, though. Sometimes I fel like this feeling bleeds through to my altereldritch form.

Shout out to u/GhostOrchidGynoid on Reddit for coining the term alterfae (https://www.reddit.com/r/alterhuman/s/uRxk7tnKpE) and the alie- prefix; I am expanding their definitions past just fae for my altereldritch, alterkitsune, and aliedragon kintypes.

Feel free to ask me about any unfamiliar terms.

This body is stuffy. It's too small. Too solid. I need to fly. I don't like being stuck on the ground. :(

I am a fragment of a god. I am light itself. I am madness. I contain multitudes. I am a Great Old One. I am the King of Carcosa. I terrify some, and am beloved by others. I am unending.

How I've been occupying my time today...

[prettyboygod]

My domain is light. If the fairy lights on your ceiling flicker or you find a fleck of glitter on your cheek, I might not be far away.

My soul feels heavy so I pour out my feelings through this simple artwork :)

I feel better after drawing this, and im proud about how it turn out!!

[crittertangles]

We were so busy going "no, MY experience is different" that we didn't notice that we don't have a collectively agreed-upon umbrella term for otherkinity/alterhumanity/nonhumanity

[a-dragons-journal]

hiya! i was wondering if you know of any sort of name or person who identifies with like, light? specifically personified light travelling millions of years to other galaxies and planets? i felt extremely nostalgic today when i was reading about light travel, like id travelled all around the nighty sky when i was not human and i dont know what that would be called.

I... don't really have anything better than lightkin, no, honestly.

Kin flags part 1: Light

ID: two images of a nine striped kin flag with pastel colors in this order: grey, red, orange, yellow, white, green, blue, purple, grey. The seven pointed kin star in the center is also grey. The second image has text displaying stripe meanings. End ID.

Stripe meanings below the cut

the grey stripes represent the non-visible areas of the light spectrum

the red represents the low frequency wavelengths of light

The orange represents the particle qualities of light

the yellow represents the culture based associations people have with light, and how concepts seen as light-adjacent play into one’s kinship with light

The white represents photons, those funky little guys.

The green represents the scientific properties of light and how those characteristics play into one’s kinship with light

The blue represents the wave qualities of light

The purple represents high wavelengths of light

The colors are from the lightgender flag with further inspiration from the rainbowgender flag.

AA 💕 Thank you :]!

My lightkin is mainly spiritual and emotional based. They also closely knitted to my angelkin and godkin/ divinekin.

To be an orb of light. Body goals 💪.
