If you uwuify my nonhuman experience, I will tear you to shreds.

Normalize being wild and feral in this community. We don’t have to be cute and innocent.

Turned A Hellhound Paws

I'm finally saying fuck it and just posting shit I make here, so lets have some fun with it. I really like the Turned A symbol, so I took @lycanm00n's Turned A paw design and made it a little edgier to fit my taste :p /jk thought I'd put them here though if anyone wants to use them.

We're The Barkive, a blog dedicated to the otherkin, therian, alterhuman, etc. communities!

About us!

Theo

I'm a werewolf and a star-dog! I originate from the canis major constellation, but feel at home in any part of space. I've always loved space and the ocean, but I also love things like forests, plants, and swimming. I've been identifying as nonhuman for about 8 years now 🐾

Ven

I'm an alien, specifically a tall humanoid species known as the Jevari. I have a deep love of space and the ocean and have been identifying as kin/nonhuman for nearly 15 years! I'm lucky to live my life where I have made many friends in the community over the years, and look forward to meeting more!

Predatory

My breath fogs the glass in front of me, a window between the two of us. Transparent and yet always there . A fragile, delicate thing - something I was never meant to be

I know that animals bear their teeth in aggression. I wonder if everyone can see the feral dog in my smile, shaking, trying to hide the fear. I wonder if that keeps them away from me and protects the pane of glass between us. Keeping me in the cage I built around myself.

In the reflection I see my smile with gilded teeth Predatory The unbridled hunger of a frenzied beast The growl sits in the back of my throat Hackles raised with the sense of danger looming on the horizon My window a mirror of the self

Fear is a verb in preservation To live and breath while running on knife edges The sword shoved between jaws placing fangs on display like diamonds Is violence still violence when it comes from your own hand Does the pain ache less if self inflicted Or does the betrayal of one's own self preservation hurt the most

The claws reach through the mirror Grabbing at an exposed throat Saw my chest open Pluck out my heart and devour it Reminding me what it is to be Vulnerable

Thinking about making a separate blog for talking about more scary kins. Vultures are seen as scary and gross already, but it's nothing compared to bugs.

Specifically, one of my alters recently found out that she's a black widow spider and I just... See so much hate on bugkins or spiders and other "scary" kins as well. I know she also considered a common European adder and decided to forget about it because it's not a common, cute or fluffy kin...

Hello! I’ve noticed you often use the term “turned a”, along with an upside down A. Does it just mean alterhuman or does it mean something else?

Turned A isn't exactly the same as alterhuman! I have the post about it linked in my pinned, but I have it here, too! The term was created as a uniting term between all kin / therian / alterhuman / nonhuman / etc. communities!

Since the community has gotten so many different terms for specific identities over the years, I really appreciate having a term that can once again unify all of us under an umbrella! I also really like the fact that it means "for all", something that can reach out across all our similar experiences and unite us together.

you tell a bitch to keep their cat indoors and suddenly their town is the first in the world to have eradicated every viral, bacterial and parasitic disease, they invented completely harmless cars, dogs and predators dont exist either but somehow the native songbird population is fine since the cats in this place have lost the hunting instinct, there's no pollutants or toxic plants and human cruelty has ceased to exist. and mr mittens has a chip in his brain that will explode if he doesnt go outside 10 hours of the day
