Ugggggghhh dysphoria is the worst

I was supposed to shower last night but the thought of having to perceive my body felt so INCREDIBLY NAUSEATING.

So I ended up procrastinating and was up past 3 am

I ended up grabbing a thing of baby wipes and used them to clean myself off and it was better but it still felt viscerally uncomfortable and disgusting

I'm glad I have A body (even if it doesnt always fit right), but sometimes I'd rather swim in a pit of Lava than pay attention to it

Anyone else feel like an outcast in the alterhuman community?

Most of the therians/alterhumans/nonhumans I see online are minors; I’m 20 years old.

Most of them can do quadrobics; I can’t run on all fours for five minutes without everything hurting, and if I did a jump, I’d probably break my wrists

A lot of them seem to enjoy the company of humans; I’ve never trusted or liked humans

Most of the community talks about being “silly” or “cute” when experiencing a mental shift; I have violent, animal instincts and avoid others when I feel a mental shift coming on

I don’t know. I just feel like a lot of us have become… tame. And I’m not. I feel like we as a community don’t talk about the “darker” side of not being human. The violent prey drive. The instinctive fear of humans that wild animals have.

To clarify, I mean no hate towards those who genuinely enjoy not being human. I just feel like even in a community of outcasts, I’m an outcast.

It’s just frustrating. In a place meant for those who aren’t human, I’m still too different to fit in. I just want to have a place to belong, you know?

(This is an edit) So, it seems I’m definitely not the only one. If anyone wants to talk about their less normalized instincts, shifts, etc., feel free to in the comments. If I find any hate or harassment in my comments, that person’s hateful comment will be removed and they’ll be blocked. My blog is a safe space

Okay angsty therian moment here.

I wish people would be fucking decent to therians when they’re out in public. Just today I saw a video from my city/hometown which someone took of one of my therian friends out in public, and they posted it saying “[X city] is cooked”

you filmed a child without their knowledge or consent. That’s fucking weird and creepy and isn’t any more acceptable because the kid is wearing a tail. I’m so glad my friend was also wearing a mask in the vid because it’s got like, 100K views.

this is probably a pretty common problem because for some reason people are so comfortable filming strangers (and children!!) and mocking them online. It’s just pissed me off so bad. I want to bite the fucker that posted that.

Washing my face and realizing, I shouldn't need to do this.

Brushing my hair and realizing, I shouldn't need to do this.

Sitting on the bus and realizing, I shouldn't need to do this.

Doing school work and realizing, I shouldn't need to do this.

Eating food and realizing, I shouldn't need to do this.

I don't belong in this body nor this world ... I just want to go back home

Can I say something?

Most people that say stuff like "oh, I don't mind furries I just don't like the sexual ones" are the most FAKE people in the world. I've met some people like that, and also saw them insulting furries a second later. I'm so tired of these fake, shitty people who just put on a poker face.

I've had people come up to me, with the weirdest excuses to hate on furries

"oh, I hate them cus a furry was weird to me on Roblox"

AND? So every furry in the world is suddenly a weird Roblox player? The fuck does that mean?

"oh, I hate furries because I don't wanna wear a fursuit"

WHAT? Where is it written you're supposed to wear a fursuit? The hell?

"I hate furries because they're sexual"

Probably like 10% of the community likes sexual stuff. And also it's in every fandom. EVERY COMMUNITY HAS A SEXUAL PART, GODDAMNIT! (Ex: Pokemon)

Can people stop being such assholes and dumbasses just because they don't have an actual reason to hate on furries? I asked a hater why they insulted me and they didn't even have an answer!

Also can we talk about the zoophile thing? Why Is every furry a zoophile? I didn't even know they existed until this year! But every furry has to put ANTIZOO as big as a mountain cus the moment they are seen with any animal they are suddenly a zoo? Wtf?

So why can "normal" people KISS THEIR DOGS and it's suddenly ok?

And when I point that out I'm suddenly supposed to shut up. It's indecent.

Haters: GROW UP FOR THE LOVE OF XHZHE1BWUXEXB6BDY9RBY8BDWBU9H9

if I see another hater being this stupid I'm gonna slam my hands against the wall so hard they bleed.

#STOPFURRYHATE!

(Ok, so this isn't a therian post, but I'm still putting alterhuman hashtags cus some alterhumans are also furries.)

[cyber-therian]

everything i do feels so wrong. im an animal, im not a human. i wasn’t intended to act human. im not meant to know or learn the human interaction system. im not meant to speak human language. im not meant to care for myself and my loved ones the way humans do.

and that is so frustrating, because im still forced to anyway. this is not who i am. being able to type and comprehend these words is unnatural for me. being able to see all of these colors is unnatural for me. the fit of my skin on my bones, the alignment of my bones, isnt me. i shouldnt be able to comprehend that i am alive or that my body is misaligned.

this isnt who i am. i wish i could show you. and if i could it would all make sense.

i dream of long sharp teeth, i dream of a maw with black gums, dripping with saliva. i lie awake and wish for rough paws, that can carry me as fast as they'll go, i lie awake and wish for a cold, wet, black nose that can detect sickness and disease. i hope for the day this dysphoria leaves me, and i can finally be at peace. i do wonder what it would feel like to be a dog, but why do i need to wonder this if i am a dog? am i not a 'real' dog? im my own dog, im a dog in human flesh, with the mind of an animal. an angry, scared, and hungry animal. i wish for the ability to destroy bones with my teeth alone. i wish to be able to eat raw meat without being repulsed by it. i wish my human instinct would disappear. i wish i could transform into a dog whenever i felt like it. but i cant. im stuck. im stuck with a soul that isn't mine and im stuck with a body that'll never change.

every time i see nonhumans+ complaining about "tiktok therians", i get reminded of how "tumblrkin" used to be a derogatory term for those not taking their identity seriously and only doing it "for the aesthetic", or even earlier, in the early 2000s, how the weres/therians on the alt.horror.werewolves forum were complaining about the new community members not taking it seriously. XD

i suppose us complaining about the youth doing nonhumanity wrong is a tradition lol. Like of course kids aren't posting philosophical essays about nonhumanity, of course misinformation amongst them is rampant (especially considering the medium of tiktok), of course some of them aren't taking this very seriously or might "grow out of it". It's ok!!

Obviously, we should lend them a helping hand in clearing up misinformation and teaching them about the full variety and wonder of the nonhuman or alterhuman experience. But we shouldn't look down on them, and treat them as if they're bad somehow. As well as that, sometimes we should just accept the generational and platform based differences between us. It's ok. We've been through this before, and we'll be through this again when the next wave of newbies rolls around.

Why do I not have little paws and a snout? Or fur and a waggy little tail? where is my momma and the rest of my littermates?? where’s the milk, and the gentle nips, and the warm cuddling piles, and growing into strong dogs with my siblings? Where’s chasing squirrels and rolling around in dirt and sniffing everything unique scent :( it’s not fair.

It’s not fair.

Stay with me,,, I won't bite again

[little-lucub]

As an alterhuman with aphantasia, sometimes I feel very left out

I don't get memories from past lives, I can't visualize my ears or tail, I find it hard to do shifts because I can't use most meditation audios (as a lot of them use visualization), I can't visualize me in my heart home

I can't visualize the real me. I'll never be able to know what the real me looks like. Every single piece of my identity is based on feelings, on what feels right. Not on what I already know (if that makes sense?). I can't see what my snow leopard self looks like. I'll never be able to see if I have a random spot on my paws or not

Of course I'm not saying that you aren't allowed to do these things and enjoy them, I encourage people if they want to! It's just kind of a sad realization for me about how much I'm missing out on

To my fellow alterhumans with aphantasia, you're valid and still an alterhuman! Even without some of the experiences

Pinterest collage feature my beloved!

Vent / poetry /whatever below

As I look towards the ceiling.

I’m reminded of my place at your feet.

skin, fur and bones with a heart of gold.

revere the bitten hand that feeds

Bones with little meat,

words with no weight.

I’m reminded why I ran

I stray far.

I tug and tug and tug

I’m still tethered to my past.

I still fear what you taught me

I tug and tug and tug

It hurts it hurts it hurts

My heart feels heavy, stomach gnawing

As much as I fight.

The poison knows, it’s made a home.

It seeps through my veins

Dragging me back to your feet

The cycle continues and I’m reminded

I love like a dog. That is to say, foolishly.

leashed to your heart and loyal to a fault.
