#nonhuman safe space

[unetherian]

I think I found a way of thinking that could greatly help some nonphysicals alter/nonhumans and alterbeings with dysphoria.

If you wander around artist communities, you've probably seen concepts like "I'll draw myself if I were a man!" or "I'll draw myself if I were a duck!", some even create ocs like that.

What if you tried to create an oc of yourself (the you that you feel, the you that you really are)as a human?

What I mean is that maybe to accept our body which will surely never satisfy our nonhuman needs maybe we should rewrite our physique, so that it fits us but in a humanoid way, if that's understandable. It could be the style of clothing, the makeup if you wear it, the haircut, the hairstyle, etc. so that when you look in the mirror you say to yourself "it's me, but humain" instead of moaning "it's not me...".

Of course feel yourself with your human body doesn't mean you feel human, it's just a way to better support your appearance, and maybe love it. Who knows?

I don't know if I explained well because my English is not perfect, sorry.

Lots of courage to all those who have dysphoria, you are strong, we are together <3

I don't see my otherkinity as something in a past life, apart from being an archangel.

I am NOT human, my body literally feels like one big skin suit I have to wear every day until death, uniform basically. I am 2 fictional characters NOW! I am a tiger NOW! I am an unnatural thing NOW! I am a vocaloid NOW! Not in some far away memory from the past... Let's see more ppl embracing their non-humanity in a present tense if that makes sense

Okay let's try this trend lol

5 Interactions and I'll practice quads on my trampoline (oooh)

40 Interactions and I'll make a therian patch for my crust pants

80 Interactions and I'll make a therian painting

100 Interactions and I'll actually finish my yarn tail in a whole weekend

200 Interactions and I'll tell my best friend I'm a fox therian.

(I'm really nervous, but, they're super duper accepting of neogenders and stuff, so, I hope they'll accept me!)

How I look at them therian tiktoks saying "therians are people who identify as animals but we don't ACTUALLY think we're animals we know we're humans haha" :

Like get yo ass outta here

(PSA: I'm not hating on these creators it's just annoying folks trying to change people's experiences and the definition of therian or otherkin to conform to non-therians/otherkins, to be 'digestible' and 'normal')

BEING YOU DOES NOT NEED ANY RULES!!!

AAAAA

You can be an alterhuman while still feeling content with being in a human body!

You can use terms or not, relate to certain situations or not, and it doesn’t make you any less than what you already are! You’re you and that will stay true even if you feel like you’ve changed, no longer relate to the person you once was, or on the contrary, go back to being the being you were before. There are no limits or concrete steps you must take, as it’s all just part of existence!

Being uncomfortable with things others don’t see problems with is fine, as even if they don’t understand, your experience is valid. Enjoying things that are unusual for the self you present is also quite alright and you shouldn’t be brought down by anyone!

you don’t need to prove yourself to anyone, nor explain why you are the way you are. Any little detail and aspect about you is allowed to exist even without a label, and should you use one, there is no obligation to fit the stereotypical definition of said term!!

you’re allowed to have unusual symptoms or strange behaviours, desires for unsettling things and fascination with harmful things! It’s all a part of you and you don’t need the praise of others to feel like you can be yourself.

You can be a therian with no past memories, be a conceptkin of an entirely new thing you have seemingly created, make up terminology that allows you to express yourself in a way that you’re more comfortable with, you can feel like you need physical attributes to validate your identity, it’s entirely fine and possible to even have species dysmorphia and be fine with still presenting human, relate to species that simply have no concrete form, be a dog and yet like licking yourself clean, be a cat and adore dogs, be a bird and yet hate the sky, be a bug and yet seem big, be a slow creature and yet love the wind in your hair, be a god and yet proudly take on the form of a mortal.

even those “unusual” things that seemingly have no presence online, you’re still valid.

Stereotypes hold no value over you and any aspect of you is still you even if it ‘doesn’t make sense’. People can relate, or they can’t. And that’s not a you-problem. It’s theirs.

You can have reasons, or not have them. It still doesn’t change the fact you can be whatever you are. No matter if others demand an explanation. The only things you should feel inclined to share are your preferences or voluntary answers. The rest? Hidden away in a little box! Nobody needs the key, why should they?

Being living in U.S culture is: :/ Oh. No.

[frillypaws]

the dream ..

[seerschaos]

terrified that with the tiktok ban all those, “physical alterhumans are sick!” and “genital dysphoria is bad!” tiktok therians are gonna come running here lol. or at least we’ll get a trickle of them. tumblr has been my safe space as a physical nonhuman, holothere, and clinical zoanthrope for the longest time. not only that, but the nonhuman community here is so open and wonderful (for the most part lmao there’s always the exception) so i’ve always felt safe as an uncommon or “gross” or shameful nonhuman type.

i’ve seen multiple posts on tiktok from the closed minded “the only real nonhumans are real life animals” and “we don’t actually identify as nonhuman!” physical alterhuman haters saying that they’re moving to tumblr and it’s just…. eughhh……

[tampic0w0]
