Ghostkin culture is lurking in dark corners of your house and accidentally spooking your parents

god gives his most niche fandoms to his most autistic warriors

*because I don’t like to be perceived and that seem cool yeah

**Because I am a forever changing creature, I demand to be formless because I’m both everything and nothing, I can’t be defined or destroyed, never caught or set in stone - forever a tale carried on by mouth until inevitably fading into history and obscurity.

if you have any cool powers is subjective entirely on your own experience in media representations of that creature. You think vampires are immortal and can turn to bats? Well if you choose that then you are too. You think they can actual live in the daylight and eat garlic? Well so can you. You think they cant? Well, then you cant. It’s simple, really.

"something's lurking in the woods.."

[safaridays]

oh my god it is so incredibly awkward going to wildlife parks with others as a mostly nonhuman system.

one of us is a bat — and so this weekend she spent maybe twenty minutes in the smelly humid bat house that no one wanted to linger in for long just watching them scratch themselves and play and glide around.. while our family waited outside. our grandpa commented that i must’ve found my “spirit animal” and I had no explanation for him.

and then yesterday at the aquarium there were these mackerels that were lingering so ridiculously close to the glass.. one of us is a penguin and she could only think about how delicious they looked. cannot imagine it looks very normal for a person to be standing inches from the glass, having a stare down with a comparatively not very interesting fish.

today we’re off to a local sanctuary and the serval is going to feed a serval, the fennec is going to watch a fennec, and the raccoon is going to see a raccoon. i’m sure we’re all gonna be Incredibly Normal and Well-behaved and Not Suspicious At All

Experiencing weird feelings regarding someone identifying as a w******, it certainly isn't my place to assume they aren't native american but it still strikes an uncomfortable chord in me as they seem to be unaware of cultural attitudes towards the spirit. Have there been community discussions surrounding this topic before? I'd really be curious to hear them, and to especially hear from native alterhumans from whose cultures this spirit belongs.

Sonic HRT #14: what did erian say?

First - Previous - Next (coming soon)

^_^ Family. I love my mates so, so much. The kink etc dynamic isn't super explicit here, but yeah, my mates have a caretaker/little and mistress/slave dynamic and my dynamic with the both of them is its own thing.

Autism, bro.

I like having these domestic scenes where I'm talking to my mates about stuff. Reflects our real experiences, especially with transitioning under capitalism.

Hey, concerns about doctors blocking your necessary medical procedures! Whoa!

So when I was setting up to get top surgery, I was still working for and lived near though fortunately not with, my abusive-ass parents. I told them I was getting a "breast reduction" and they insisted I would convalesce with them. Great. While in one of the final appointments leading up to the surgery, my surgeon asked what my post surgery plans were. And was, admittedly rightfully, horror-struck at the idea of me trying to recover from surgery in my abusive-ass family's house.

However...I couldn't do anything about where I would be directly post-surgery. I had no choice. I planned to get home as soon after surgery as I could, maybe ask my friends for help if needed...but staying at my parents' was Not Something I Could Get Out Of. My surgeon was so sure her team would correctly gender me and let the secret out of the bag (this did not happen, they did not gender me correctly even once), and looked like she would cancel the whole thing unless I came out to my parents. Cuz again, I didn't have better options. I fully expected to be blowing up my life, losing my job, the whole thing. But at least I'd be able to get surgery.

I came out to my parents. Drafted a letter, went to a restaurant with two of my best friends, met my parents there, and gave them the letter. It went...it was civilized. There wasn't explosions right then. Everything was very contained. What with the public and all. The shoe didn't drop immediately.

But both of them, separately, got me alone to vent their spleens about the whole deal. My dad told me I was his "Horse riding, jean wearing, girl," and more sensitive than my sister, and therefore more girly. My mom told me that me being trans was literally "Worse than her brothers dying."

So about what I expected. Fucking horrible. Honestly, would've almost been better if they just tossed me. I wouldn't have had years more of abuse at their hands.

So yeah. Came out to my parents because my doctor pressured me in ways that jeopardized my transition (after 10 months waiting for my surgery appointment), it went predictably poorly, I still had to "recover" at their house.

Interesting post-script to that story, I apparently have a pretty good pain tolerance? I was able to drive home after about two days? And drove 40 minutes out to got out with friends at Halloween before my drains had even been removed? ^_^ That was rad.

EDIT 2024/9/12: I FORGOT ROBIN'S EAR TIP FURS IN PANEL 3 OF PAGE 4!!! Fixed, now!

Just a few stray thoughts about dysphoria:

I may be nonbinary, but I don't have dysphoria around gender specifically, just general dysphoria around having a body at all. Figuring this out is a lot easier now that we have headmates who do have gender dysphoria, including Varyn who didn't have it until we gained weight and became more feminine-shaped. Varyn and the other guys' dysphoria is attached more strongly to certain gendered terms and body structures/features (breasts, how a higher voice is considered more feminine) and mine is the same for everything bodywise - having feet and legs is just as dysphoria-inducing as having curves.

Like it feels strange to have this weight sitting cross legged on a chair and it having this pressure on my hips and thighs. I shouldn't be sitting, I should be floating. Gravity is a literal pain in the ass. My head shouldn't be heavy. My arms shouldn't ache from me leaning on them on my desk. I shouldn't even have feet and legs - not all the time anyway. My face shouldn't look like this. What do you mean it's stuck in this one shape. I shouldn't need glasses except as a fashion accessory. What do you mean I'm legally blind without them.

Just... Bodies. Ugh.

My sense of gender is just it's something my body has, but not something I myself have. The disconnect is strong there. I'm pretty firm in the understanding that I am not my body. I HAVE a body, I AM a mind and soul. I don't particularly dislike my body - it's useful, and I try to be gentle and kind to it - but it's not Me.

Bodies blehgh

[alterhuman-culture-is]

Fox spirit culture is knowing your tails as a mode of body language but—oh wait!! This vessel doesn't have your tails. In fact, it has zero tails.

It’s funny how it went from 2010 “what can I do to become a wolf/be like a wolf? I love them dearly and I think they’re my spirit animal. I like howling too.” To 2020 “I’m a wolf therian and was meant to be a wolf, how can I connect to my kintype?”
