nonhumanity is NOT a trend.

nonhumanity, therianthropy, alterhumanity, otherkinity, etc.. contrary to popular belief, is NOT a trend, nor should it be treated as such.

when you are nonhuman in any kind of way, it is for life. sure, it could be a phase for some people, but for most, this is their way of life. our ways of life and culture shouldn't be treated like some silly internet fad, and I hate that misconception that it is. sure, I may not 100% know what I am, but I DO know that my lifelong connection to the sky and having wings will forever haunt me. my calling to the sky is permanent. being nonhuman is permanent when you truly are just a creature at heart, soul, mind, and within your body if it's physical. it's not about masks, quadrobics, crafts, accessories, aesthetics, music, etc. these things can help you express yourself, but they aren't what makes up what makes you nonhuman. putting on a mask wont turn you into a therian if you're human and saying some words on a piece of paper wont physically turn you into an animal. nonhumanity, therianthropy, etc, it's not a choice - it's a discovery. and if it turns out that you're human or nonhuman, either path is okay. it's okay to be wrong.

things and folks can change, but our existence is eternal.

long, very long. big feathers and a wingspan that spans somewhere around 18-26 ft (going off of my phantom wing length), and they look like a cross between a black kite and a red tailed hawk in terms of colors but in terms of their shape they look like a black kite's/a turkey vulture type of shape due to their large size, and i like to think that my wings may have a slight goldeny brown glow under sunlight.

p.s - im going based off of my experiences/instincts and what i connect to the most, not that i physically have wings (yet) or on an astral level exactly know what they look like, but i have a pretty good idea.

answer me this, if you would

you've got wings

no, no, don't question it, just keep looking at me

you've got wings

what do they look like?

Okay now that he's openly saying slurs can we talk about how this man's cultish fanbase was a pretty good bellwether to the general trends among gen z that incidated an ever expanding internet radicalization pipeline and general susepctibility to cults?

Hermes, rushing into the classroom like an over excited puppy that can fly, surprising everyone: Hey, did you get my letter :D it's really important, I gotta take you now

Kaminari: You mean the one you left on my desk while I was out of the classroom less than three minutes ago? Yes, I read it and for the last time, I have SCHOOL

Hermes: That lame thing? Just tell them it's important or whatever!

Kaminari: I can't just ditch school anytime you wanna start a fight or get icecream or whatever!

Hermes: No, it's fine! I'll just talk to your school's king-

Kaminari: Principal.

Hermes: Principal, and tell him you have to leave!

Kaminari: How about you just wait outside the building and I can tell you why this is a horrible idea then, kay?

Hermes: No time! I'm a busy guy, you know that, Denks!

Kaminari: THEN DO YOU'RE OTHER JOBS FIRST!

Hermes: Come on! It's a matter of life or death!

Kamimari: Maybe for me! I have a feeling you're not in any danger and won't be in the near future.

Hermes: Exactly! You could die! All the more reason to come!

Kaminari: No! No, it isn't! The fact that going with you means I might die is absolutely not a good argument!

Hermes: Oh, please, like you don't have buddies down there anyway. Come on, we gotta goooo!! I don't want to be in this boring room any longer!

Kaminari: It is truly bone-chilling that I'M the responsible one around you.

Hermes: I know, right? I hate it, I like you more when you're reckless.

Kaminari: Of course you do, now GO AWAY! Go wait in the dorm's lounge or something. Just don't get me in trouble.

Hermes: Oh, we both know I'm not capable of that.

Aizawa: What the fuck is going on here? And you, get OUT of my classroom!

Hermes: Jeez, touchy much? Fine, I'll wait outside, and you have to deal with this guy every day?

Aizawa and Kaminari: GO!

Hermes: Okay, fine! Geez, way to make a guy feel welcome!

The rest of the class: 👁👄👁

this is exactly why I started this blog, as well as nonhumanity: a history! I felt a need for more connections, to bring folks together, to educate, and to give more physical nonhumans a safe space to be themselves.

the physical nonhuman community, from what I've seen, has been decreasing and disconnecting over the years, and I wanted to create a space that I would like to be a part of here on this blog, especially since there aren't any active avian or winged individuals running blogs these days that are physically nonhuman from what I can tell.

over the years, I've been a part of countless now inactive or forgotten forums, servers, and groups, and all I've ever wanted was connection to a community that understood me and my experiences. isolation is a very real thing when it comes to being nonhuman, and I hope to lessen those feelings amongst other nonhumans, as well as the fact that I wanted to give avians or other physically winged beings someone or something to relate to in their journey, because that's something I've needed for a long time myself.

Be active in the things you care about!

Upset about misinformation spread by younger therians on tiktok? Instead of just reposting and being upset about it, go make a tiktok account and start posting informationally about therianthropy, try to include sources!

Want more alterhuman buddies on tumblr? Go interact with your community!! Reply in length to posts, and not just in tags, comment your thoughts, send in asks to blogs you think are cool saying hello! I do hope I speak for most when I say that everyone would be overjoyed to chat! Don’t be embarrassed or intimidated, we’re all in this together!

Want to help stop alterhumans aiding the fur farm industry? Post a list of resources and shops that sell actually humane fur and bones, and update it occasionally!

Tired of having no otherkin meetups in your area? Organize one! Start small, just a meetup and a few activities, you’ve got this!

Want alterhuman books? Congrats you’re a writer now! Want fictionkin music? Check out that cool musician right there, on the other side of the screen! Stained glass pieces, website building, art, woodworking, games, embroidery, streaming, and on and on! You can do whatever you put your mind to! Don’t wait for others to pick up the slack, you can be the first!

Good luck everycreature, and happy howling!

Before the war, Harry Crosby had started school for his master’s degree in literature at the University of Iowa. He was regarded as a very smart guy, “borderline genius” by some of the others he served with and yet infuriatingly humble.

On one particular training mission with the Just-a-Snappin’ crew, the weather was good and Crosby knew where they were at every second of the fight, so he pretended to be a tour guide of sorts.

"Navigator to crew, if you look out the right window you can see The Wash."

“Waist, here. What's The Wash?"

I told him. "It's that huge inlet on the coast." In a few minutes I hit the button again. "Now if you look on the port side you can see Robin Hood's hometown, Nottingham. That's Sherwood Forest right by it."

A string of Rogers.

And later on in that same flight…

I tried to keep the crew entertained. I pointed out some places with funny English names, like "Ribble" and "Barrow-in-Furness." I showed them Balmoral Castle, Gretna Green, and Newcastle.

The best part is, only Crosby was allowed to do such a thing during the flight. Blakely would get rather miffed if anyone else tried to initiate any funny business over open-mic.

if you’re talking to people on a dating app and want to meet a long term partner from experience my honest advice is to send them thee ugliest non-touched up pictures of yourself you have and also tell them all the weird shit you’re doing. if they match your freak it will work out.

blog thoughts - nonhuman books

so I think I will start writing a book about therian/otherkin/alterhuman experiences and practices mixing with witchcraft or spiritual practices, because for me I think a lot of my experiences with being nonhuman can overlap with my spirituality and being a witch, so I think it would be nice to have a beginners guide to being a therian witch and how to incorporate your nonhuman self with your practices. this book is more geared towards the spiritual and psychological therian/otherkin/alterhuman experience rather than the physical ones (shocking I know), but it's going to take a friendly approach to phyiscal nonhumans, shapeshifters, etc. also, hear me out: I'm also planning to write a book regarding physical nonhumanity. it'll focus more on guides for shapeshifting rather than nonhuman history, but I'm still debating whether or not I want to include history too.

and I want your opinion as to what kinds of things I should include in these books! so please let me know what you think because I think it would be super important to have these resources out for the general nonhuman community (therians, physical nonhumans/mythicals, etc).

Husk having once been an Overlord makes so much sense when you look at his character design. The Overlords are the sinners who own the most souls. They also have visual theming that communicates what their entire "deal" is. Carmilla is made of steel and points and she sells weapons. Valentino looks like a pimp and works in the porn industry. Alastor is a radio host. Presumably their jobs and specialties (or simple conquest) is also where they get most of the souls they own, like Valentino with Angel Dust.

But there's a gap in the line-up. Gambling. There's no Overlord with an obvious gambling motif like Husk has. Out of all the exploitative industries where people could end up signing their very souls away, gambling seems like the most obvious. So as the only character who looks like they could be running a bunch of casinos where people go so broke they end up betting their souls, which Hell has to have, it fits Husk very well.

the parallels between kabru and the winged lion. how both of them are so interested in laios because of his complex desires - both noting that desire for gold and such is ordinary and thus duller. how the winged lion has no interest in the "second-hand" mithrun who is already void of desires, and kabru explicitly says that mithrun is the first person he has no interest in learning about. "kabru has an almost insatiable curiosity toward other people"; the winged lion exists and lives because of its insatiable curiosity towards people.
