Minecraft-induced mental shift?

funny thing that happened recently… i think i got my first harbor seal shift through minecraft (still questioning my seal theriotype)

i was playing minecraft a couple days ago riding a boat in the ocean, when i look to my side and see a dolphin actively swimming right next to me! it went on for a few seconds and i think that got me shifty hahah i just started involuntarily thinking about being a seal swimming in the ocean with this dolphin and i started doing this thing like swaying my knees in opposite directions and knocking them into each other and i assume i did it to feel like i was swimming with my legs as a seal tail… very interesting experience!!

still not 100% on whether im sealkin or not but this was cool to experience lol

partly nonhuman bcuz trauma, partly nonhuman bcuz autistic, partly nonhuman bcuz i am weird, partly nonhuman bcuz thats just how it is

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.

When I look in the mirror, I don't associate my face or body with myself. I just see a pretty or ugly vessel staring right back at me. Because my soul belongs else where.

I am not human, atleast not this one

Alex's alterhuman ask game!

Reblog this post to let others ask you question(s)!

I tried to make this accesible to all alterhumans.

🌈 - how many _types do you have?

🌌 - when was your awakening?

👾 - is your _type real or fictional?

👽 - do you enjoy being a […] (therian, otherkin, ect. Just put your label here)

🧷 - what's the reason of your identity? You can say that you don't know. (Ex. "My theriantrophy is spiritual)

💚 - what are your beliefs? Does it affect your identity?

⚧️ - does your _type have a different gender/sex than you? Do you even know your _type's gender?

🧤 - do you own any gear? If yes, what is it?

🏳️‍🌈 - are you also a part of the LGBT+ community?

🌚 - do you experience shifts? If yes, what kind of shifts do you experience most often?

🌝 - how does your identity affect your everyday life?

💊 - is your _type more nocturnal or does it prefer daytime?

🤖 - for how long do you know about your identity?

🍁 - do you think that you were born with your identity or has it "started" during your life?

🧸 - does your _type affect your diet?

🛍️ - do you have alterhuman friends? If yes, in real life or in the internet?

🍂 - what is your _type's natural territory/home?

😺 - is your _type an animal?

That's all byeeee :3

the weirder parts of being nonhuman

it seems that a lot of the content on here about therianthropy tends to be the more digestible parts - running through the woods! wind in your fur! howling at the moon!

but i think there's also a lot of like, weirder, more embarrassing parts that are a bit hard to find space to talk about.

at the risk of being screenshotted and made fun of somewhere else on the internet, i'll say that one of the earliest manifestations of my therianthropy is that i crave raw meat and blood.

as a kid, i would watch nature documentaries and become envious at the sight of a lion ripping into a zebra, or a wolf into a deer. it literally made me hungry. it was mouthwatering.

i would comment on it to the people around me, under the assumption that this was a normal feeling. i vividly remember being told that it was really strange and gross. i was probably like, 6 years old when it started.

when i was around 12 or 13 my mom would buy beef marrow bones for the neighbor's dog. at night, i’d sneak out to the kitchen, steal one from the freezer, and chew on it for a while.

wow! i’ve never told anyone that, and it feels so cringe to admit.

my nonhumanity feels so primal, so deep down in my bones. i have no desire to hurt any animal, and i don't think i could, but my entire life i have wanted to experience ripping into a warm, fresh carcass.

the sight of raw meat makes me ravenous. and i think a lot of people get it, kinda. seeing a nice steak at the grocery store is appetizing, y'know? but i’d even go as far as to say that the sight of a dead, bloody animal is too.

however, i think feelings like these are not uncommon.

it's also one of those things that i feel is so quintessential to my being, one of the first things i ever felt that made me realize i wasn't exactly human.

if you have any similar experiences/thoughts i'd love to hear about it ♡ and honestly, if you can empathize w this at all, i'd love to know :')

thanks for reading xx

hi everyone! little update with my alterhuman identities, after a lot of kinsidering ive realized that instead of being african wild dog kin as i thought, im a brown fox!! this isnt 100% set in stone, but i feel a lot more secure in that part of my identity now :3

Species dysphoria isn't normal, btw. As im beings who are 100% human probably aren't in agony over being seen as and treated as a human.

Your therianthropy is valid. As much as I HATE that word, that's the only way I know how to put it. If you are therian because of species dysphoria that is okay. If your therianthropy feels more like transpeciesism but you use the therian label for comfort, that's ok. If you're FINE with being human but really know you're a cat or a fish or a horse, that's ok.

I've been getting a ton of really negative "anti therian" bullshit on my dash and needed a reminder that. It's okay! Nobody cares. Do what you want forever

Reminder not to stereotype kintypes.

Just because one is a fox does not mean they're as happy and playful as one.

Just because one is a rabbit does not mean they're a cute, cuddly, soft bunny.

Just because one is a bird does not mean they're sad to be earth-bound.

Just because one is a wolf does not mean they have "two sides/personalities" while shifting.

Just because one is a cat does not mean they are faking alterhumanity, or in their "Warrior Cat phase"

Just because one is a nonhuman does not mean that we do quads.

Just because one is a nonhuman does not mean we have gear.

Just because one is a nonhuman does not mean we are lean, strong, and Caucasian.

Just because one is a nonhuman does not mean we express our alterhumanity in eccentric ways.

Every nonhuman is valid as fuck. From the smallest mouse, to the largest whale, everything in between, you are valid.
