#otherlink positivity

[unetherian]

"Courage is being yourself in a world that wants you to be something else."

Whether it shows or not. Whether others know it or not. As long as it hurts nothing and no one. Be brave. Be you.

It's okay if your fact-identity is a choice.

Being/having a factlink, fact-otherlink, or fact-copinglink is NOT identity theft.

It does NOT make you a bad person, to simply exist and shape your identity in a way you want to.

It does NOT make you "a bad example of alterhumanity", or "a shame to the factive/factkin/plural/etc. community".

You're NOT "misleading" anyone by being a factlink. You're not "giving outsiders the wrong impression", or "glorifying delusions".

You should NOT have to be disrespected, or told that you should have a fiction-link or identify as a factive instead. You can be who you want to be in the peace of your own mind and in the safe communities you foster/find. You can cope however you see fit, and others shouldn't judge what works and doesn't work for you.

You do NOT have to beat yourself up for wanting to be this way. And you are allowed to like, or even love, it!

Hi!! It's Ghostbur (DreamSMP) from a loooooooooooong time ago!! I'm back from accidentally making myself think i was something i was not because i felt bad about my voluntary identity but now i've come to terms with it so.. yeah!! I'm a 'linker and it's pretty neat and i wanted to let you all know that linker or not a linker, you're cool too and you should never feel like you have to be something you're not to be valid!! love u all :D

;_; That is so sweet of you to come here to say. Thank you Ghostbur! I'm so happy you're at peace with your identity!

Dear otherkin:

Do not neglect hygiene or basic self care even if you dislike having a human form! Even if you are depressed! Even if you believe this life is fleeting and that you shall one day return from whence you came!

Because as a questioning Papyrus copinglink, I can tell you that realizing my teeth were mouth bones completely changed my perspective. Yes I was aware of this fact before, but somehow it hits differently sitting in the dentist's office, having someone scrape gunk off of your teeth. I began to see there are similarities between this form and the one I may have previously taken. My teeth are bones- and I have been neglecting to care for them, simply because it's "easy" to not care for them.

Likewise, teeth were my primary weapon as a harpy. When looked at from that angle, I have let my weapons grow dull and dirty. How can I strike fear into the hearts of my prey and enemies if my teeth are not in their top condition?

This doesn't just apply to my teeth though. My physical fitness is important to me as a Papyrus kin. My nails are like the talons I had as a harpy. There are even chemical similarities to a star in me.

Remember to look for these similarities, remember to notice them. Because I promise you, there is value in even a strange human form.

To all disabled alterhumans, have a great disability pride month, and may your month be filled with many good days, whatever that means for you.

Every disabled alterhuman deserves to be seen and proud. Proud that they are seen, proud that they are different and still worth the same as any other, proud that they are alive, or any combination of the above and anything else. Be proud that you are you.

Alterhumans who feel dysphoric due to their disability, and alterhumans who get some level of euphoria due to their disability.

Disabled people who are alterhuman because of their disability, and people who are disabled because they are alterhuman.

Alterhumans with psychosis, whether their alterhuman identity is psychotic in nature or not.

Plurals and systems with disordered symptoms, who find it hard to remember things between switches, who dissociate or who might have trouble masking themselves.

Those who are alterhuman due to special interests, hyperfixations or hyperfocus, and alterhumans whose identities change with these fixations.

Those with disabilities that are deemed "scary" or hold a lot of stigma, like personality disorders or psychosis.

Physically disabled alterhumans, even if their disability "goes against" what their alterhuman 'type is.

Blind creatures who normally have great eyesight, wheelchair users who are running or climbing creatures, creatures who are hard of hearing, creatures with tough skin who bruise too easily now, creatures with complex vocal systems that cannot talk or have a hard time doing so.

Those with phobias related to their own alterhumanity, whether their 'type be their own phobia or their 'type interacts with it in some way.

Alterhumans with intrusive thoughts of all kinds, related to their alterhumanity or not.

Those who are alterhuman as a way of coping with their disabilities.

Disabled alterhumans who need others to help care for them, even if it includes basic things such as showering, eating, dressing or using the bathroom.

Alterhumans whose disability cannot easily be seen or cannot be seen at all, and alterhumans whose disabilities are easily visible.

Alterhumans who are discriminated against or discounted for their disability, either in or out of the alterhuman community.

And every single other kind of disabled alterhuman. This month is for you. Be visible if you would like, advocate for those like you, and be proud that you are here.

15.Cause chaos.

16.Speak monotone/ with an "off" tone to mimic ai/ text to speech.

17.Draw your screws/welding on yourself! (WITH SKIN SAFE INK.)

hehe ty for being my first request, hope this helped.

[theverynothumankai]

probably the best thing about awakening as nonhuman and so on, is that whenever i’m seeing my ‘types and stuff, i think “i love myself” because i find ME, what I am, SO FUCKING COOL !!!! and i think that’s really healing for me, that i can say that and mean that, because i don’t think i’ve genuinely felt that way about myself since i was really really young, and even then i didn’t think it too much

[otherkin-rants]

sometimes I get embarrassed thinking "what if this whole otherkin thing ends up being a phase?" But then I remember

NO ONE FUCKING CARES

IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOUR WRONG

IF YOUR NOT HURTING ANYONE DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY IN THE PRESENT AND NOT WORRY IF YOU'LL CRINGE IN THE FUTURE

LIVE BITCHES

Before, I was ashamed of being considered weird, different.

Now I don't care.

Because now I understand.

Everyone is different. Everyone is weird, in their own way.

And that is a strength.

It's normal that everyone is weird.

But human society is weird,

They consider beings who understand this to be... weird.

But I now understand.

I'm weird.

I'm normal.

The norm is considered to be the order.

Weirdness is considered disorder.

But what is order if it is just another form of disorder?

What is the norm if it is just another form of weirdness?

I'm normal because I'm weird. Everyone is weird, so everyone is normal.

[interstellarsystem]

Sparked by a conversation on our discord--what are some things about your own alterhuman identity, or the community, that are positive or make you happy? Things you like about your system, kintypes, linktypes, hearttypes, flickers... Or communities around those? This is an opportunity to share awesome things about your own alterhumanity!

I'll start--I like being from a popular source so that I don't have to explain myself to as many people--I don't need to go through my whole life story to be understood sometimes! It can be a double edged sword, but it's nice at the same time.
