you don’t owe anyone a "convincing performance" of your animal self. wild wolves don't wonder if they're "wolfing correctly."

you are real entirely because you feel real.

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with alterhumanity denial, you may be entitled to financial compensation

When I mention all the terms that designate my identity, I am told that I am just showing off and that I am just normal.

But when you think about it, there are so many terms to describe the complexity of consciousness that everyone is a combination of many words that have existed and never will exist.

The more introspection you do, the more terms you find to put to your feelings.

I am

-alterhuman

-or nonhuman I don't really know

-a puma therian

- maybe an omnicambitherian ? Idk if it exists

-agender

-pansexual

-maybe demisexual

-panromantic

-transandrogynous (in my physique)

-something towards naturkith (for the moment it's the term that corresponds the most to my feelings)

I like to dissect my identity. Many of my feelings don't have names, so I have a hard time talking about them, but I love analyze them.

I think that's why there are a lot of lgbtqia+ people (for example)in the alter/nonhuman, alterbeing and other/semihuman communities: we're not people who try to be interesting. We are just beings who like to dive deep into our hearts and think with it.

Literally therians

please have a minute of silence-

-for all the animals that are on the red list of endangered species, those that are considered extinct and those that are only a few living survivors away from extinction.

the least we can do for them is to pay tribute to them, think about how we can help them and try to do whatever we can to help our close animal friends, relatives, cousins, siblings and even the strangest animals we could never meet.

Spread awareness, respect mother nature and fight against those who are trying to destroy our world for the sake of property, money and terror.

shout-out to all our extinct comrades and those who are fighting to survive

first time wearing my mask in public and a bunch of kids asked to take a pic with me ! one of the girls said "I love gay people" as they walked away 😭

note: I apologize if the alt text isn't sufficient, I'm very new to this !

[unetherian]

YES I AGREE 10000%

Tfw you see hundreds of therian tiktoks about how they hate "fake therians" even though there is no "fake therian" epidemic like they claim, but instead an epidemic of misinformation being spread on the platform about what a therian is and the valid forms of alterhumanity.

So this is a reminder to any blogs that have an alterhuman tiktok account to go try and fix the misinformation that is so prevalent over there.

Otherlinkers are Valid™

Otherpaws are Valid™

Theriomythics are Valid™

Otherhearteds are Valid™

Non-spiritual therians are Valid™

Unlabeled alterhumans are Valid™

Questioning alterhumans are Valid™

Getting your 'type wrong is Valid™

Having a "common" 'type is Valid™

Having an "uncommon" 'type is Valid™

Being otherflicker is Valid™

Being otherfix is Valid™

Anyone who says otherwise needs to be sat down and educated, not punished or chastised or isolated. Thank you for your time.

oh poor thing. i can see it in your eyes; the weight of the day pressing down on you, the tension in your shoulders, the way your mind won’t stop spinning in circles. you've been trapped in that human shape for too long, haven’t you? struggling to fit into a world that demands too much from you? you don’t have to be human right now. not here. not with me.

you were never meant to walk on two legs. let me help you.

let your thoughts go. human words are so heavy, so complicated. you don’t need them. let your mind soften and blur at the edges. turn those thoughts into impulses; simple and pure. "hungry. tired. warm. safe." that’s all you need.

now, your body. can you feel it? the way your muscles loosen, the way your spine remembers a different posture? your fingers curl slightly, restless. do they ache to be a different shape? to feel the ground properly beneath them? your shoulders roll forward, your head bows just a little. you're doing so good. you're already sinking.

your senses are sharpening in the best way. human noises are fading and they're being replaced by the rustle of fabric, the sound of my voice, and the scent of the room you're in. your nose twitches without you meaning it to. colors might blur, but the smells are getting richer. you're catching traces of food, of warmth, and the natural scents of your pelt. your ears prick -- not literally, not yet, but *imagine* them flicking toward every sound, alert but not anxious. you're safe here. you don't have to be on guard.

your breathing slows. your eyelids are growing heavy. you don’t need to focus like a human does. feel the world narrow to the present, to the softness beneath you, and to the crisp air all around you. your limbs feel lighter, even as they grow more compact, more *right*. are you imagining fur brushing against fabric? the phantom twitch of a tail? let it be real. you’re already getting there.

no more human worries. no more thoughts. no more stiff, awkward posture. you curl naturally, tucking limbs close, resting your head down. your body knows what to do. you don’t have to think. you just exist, simple and happy.

that's it. let your human self dissolve for now. you don’t have to be anything but what you are: a creature of instinct filled to the brim with love. rest, and when you’re ready to come back, you’ll carry this feeling with you: the knowing that under your skin, in your heart, you’ve always been this:

you've always been an animal.

Period.

Species Euphoria

Unfortunately, often, I feel very dysphoric. However, something quite different happened earlier, but it was not unpleasant, I think I recognized this feeling... it's species euphoria.

I was walking around the city with my friends (something I'm not used to doing because my parents are strict and I don't really feel comfortable with people who don't know that I am alterhuman), the sun was beginning to go down in the sky, which lengthened the shadows of my small town, we went to a park with lots of trees and bushes. It made me very shifty, because my theriotype lives in the forest and is crepuscular. My best friend started climbing a tree, I couldn't help but do the same, because I really love doing that (maybe because I'm a feline).

We then went to the store where we saw beautiful stuffed animals of tigers, panthers, etc. and one of the people I was with said "oh it looks like [my real name]! Cute on the outside, wild and strong inside" I felt so good at that moment! She can't know how much her words are how I feel! (besides almost everyone I know compares me to a feline without knowing that I am therian, while I hide my shifts and I take care to appear a minimum "normal", I find that funny). Then we bought some chips and Monster (I had never tasted this drink because my parents... you know. Well, I like it) I felt free, for the first time in a long time. I saw the world differently, finally, human life is not always a cage, finally, life has a taste, finally, life can be worth living, and I decided that it would be the case for mine. Finally, dysphoria is not invincible. Now I look at life with envy, with excitement, and no longer with fear.

We tend to forget it, with this dysphoria, this feeling of euphoria.

Life is beautiful, even if it can have bad sides.

But it is thanks to these bad sides that we realize how fantastic the rest is.

I know very well that it is difficult, even impossible to believe it, with this dysphoria that hides your view. But it is real, even if you think you feel too bad to have this felling.

I really wish you to experience this wonderful thing, it is truly this thing that gives meaning to my life, and surely to others.

Take a moment for yourself, treat yourself, go out with friends if you want, or just go out in nature, in short, treat yourself, it's important. You are important, and you deserve to feel good.

Your title as "human" is a gift, and just like any gift, you are NOT forced to keep it, it might be a good gift but it might also a gift you don't want, it's okay to say "I didn't really like that gift" as long as you are polite about it, this might be your last life so live it like it's yours because it truly is!

[im-not-just-physical]

i swear if I lived in the era of my ancestors, they wouldn't say I'm mentally ill. Actually they would think it's cool I talk with spirits and I have an animal based non human mind and the fact I can craft masks and ornaments and animals like me.

[wild-forest-critter]

how could you ask me to do this. im just a little guy. and youre askin me to do the dishes. wow.
