What is an otherfix?

An otherfix is an alterhuman/nonhumans/alterbeing/otherhuman whose identity is influenced in some way by a hyperfixation.

Almost any alterhuman(or nonhumans,ect) can be otherfix.

Example: a fictionkin involontarily identifies as a creeper (hostile mob in Minecraft) because he has a hyperfixation in the Minecraft game.The creeper is therefore his fictiotype and his fixtype.

An animalkith feel a huge connection with beetles because he has a hyperfixation on this animal. So he is a otherfix beetlekith.

An otherlink voluntarily chooses to identify as a kitsune, because it helps him live with his hyperfixation on this.

a lot of therian and otherkin positivity i see from non-therian/otherkin just feels so…infantilizing. like instead of just a perfectly fine “guys, respect who they are, respect their choices, it’s not harming your they’re perfectly valid” a lot of it is like “guys, respect their choices, some of them are just playing around! kids love to play dress up and pretend to be their favorite animals! it’s normal and they might even grow out of it! everyone needs some community” and it’s just like. weird. we aren’t kids (at least a lot of us aren’t), our identities aren’t just something we “grow out of.” stop talking about us like it’s just a phase and the only reason you should respect us is that “everybody does weird stuff to cope.” please just treat us normally.

Therianthropy is not new to us but it is new to the general public. Millions of people assumed that everyone identified with having a human body and being human and now that they've discovered that there are people who don't they are having negative reaction to it. Species is seen as something strictly biological and our existence is disrupting that 'fact' And it's difficult to explain what non-human animal hood is or what it feels like because it's a deeply personal feeling that's unique to everyone. The world needs time and I do think we'll get there eventually.

It’s not really species dysphoria it’s species misery. species despair.

I love you, nonhumans, that write paragraphs about their experiences on Tumblr. You are making history for our community. Thank you. Our community will never die out if you stay alive and just talk about your experiences, coined terms, or opinions.

No matter where you stand as a nonhuman, or even alterbeing, you are making history every time you post. Never forget that.

I love seeing posts from "rare" weres, therians with uncommon theriotypes, therians with experiences nobody else seems to relate to, endels and clinical zoanthropes with unique and diverse experiences as nonhumans, and somewhat personal blogs describing shifts, phantom, mental, or physical.

I just appreciate how humbling this community can be. I've seen the strange, the incredible, the bittersweet, the scary, etc. but it's all worth it in the end to know that I, we, are a part of a history most humans cannot fathom, and that's a gift.

Why be human when I can be...

*checks long list of kin types I'm kinsidering*

Uh.... very much... not human?

[unetherian]

Hmm... I have never experienced (I think) a bilocation shift... That is to say, it is a fairly rare shift and rarely discussed in the community. And the definitions I found are not very clear. For those who have already experienced it, what was it like? Is it nice? Was it unintentional? Voluntary? Or sometimes voluntary sometimes unintentional? How did it happen, actually?

Tell me everything! :3

some people need to realize that people's identity doesn't harm you, like who cares if someone named bug, who uses cat/it pronouns, identifies as a fox and has xenogenders? like it's not harming you is it? let people live their life, if they are happy and they're not harming anyone or themselves, why does it matter so much? >_< /gen

Can we take a moment to appreciate forests?

I went out to the forest next to my city with my mom today, wearing my tail

It was the best experience I've ever had, there were barely any people, the weather was perfect, my siblings weren't there to complain, I was just walking around with her

It was amazing

Forests are majestic and magnificent, people don't appreciate them enough

I don't care about the bugs, or the annoying small plants, or even the people.

Forests just make me feel so... Alive.
