Humans are like ants to me: beautiful, fascinating, good team-workers and also kind of cute

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. :(

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.

[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.

A Breath of Chill and a Heart of Warmth. What am I?

For I spit spiky frost, harming with my bark, as I too feel the fire of passion, and deep emotion. Why though, must I bare this Duality? It eats at my Soul, my Mind, my Being.

This red, this blue. The black and white. The Shade, and the Sun. Dark, and Light. The Night and the Day. This Summer and this Winter. Chaos, and Order. Yin and Yang.

My Mind in itself is Everything as it is to its Nothing. I am every same to my opposite. Both Wolves I feed, yet they never seem full. For they are me, a very hungry being.

Hungry for Peace, as well for Discord. I am All. Balance.

AAAAAA YOURE SO COOL ✨✨✨✨

I’ve never heard of lightkin before but it sounds amazing :]

-@autumn-b0nes 🍂

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 💪.

[fictionkinfessions]

i'm at a crossroads. on one hand, being in a light shift has been helping me lessen my procrastination as well as making me slightly more confident in myself & my work... on the other hand though, my friends won't stop making "L + ratio" jokes so is it really that worth it? :/

Reminds me of the shoreline I used to visit as an Angel

[the-light-finds-its-way]

So Velliks struggles adjusting to being Eliksni once he's transformed. Not only does he have 4 arms now, but his entire structure is different. He has to learn how to use mandibles, how to speak all over again, how to do... everything.

And I just know that the Eliksni Quarter has a school for all the hatchlings to learn just this sort of thing.

So Misraaks, he sees Velliks's struggle and knows what to do. He takes this captain to the school, and tells the hatchlings, "Children, you know Captain Velliks of our House, who has spent time helping all of you grow and learn. And what has he always told you to do?"

"Help every friend!" the children reply. "And friends are people who help you!"

Misraaks nods. "That is right. So now it's your turn to be friends to him. Just as we go through metamorphosis, growing and changing, Velliks has done this, too. He needs your help to learn, to grow, to speak and play and walk as we do. He is a friend to you. Be a friend to him, ok?"

The children grow excited, laughing and cheering.

In transmats a nervous Velliks, chirping anxiously, himself tense.

But the children crowd him joyously and beg him to come along, see their favorite toys and games! Join them on the playground! Wrestle and sing ABCs in Eliksni!

Velliks lightens a bit, and comes along.

And it's ultimately through the returned love of the children that he, too, learns to be Eliksni. He's given them so much. It's only right they return the love to their hatchling Eliksni Captain, even though he appears fully grown. He is new, he is learning, and this is freedom to learn.
