reblog and put in the tags why you couldn't be trusted with shapeshifting powers

I don't think I could be trusted with shapeshifting powers bc I would just turn into a bear and attack things with my claws at any minor inconvenience. it would be my go-to solution for everything

I think the movie strange magic shaped my moral code fundamentally. It was also my first experience of kelly clarkson and the goth aesthetic so positives all around.

Truthfully, I think there’s many reasons for this, but two big ones (or… two related ones?) stand out; age, and current internet culture

Younger folks are more likely to be more limber. I’m in my 30s, with a handful of medical issues not related to age; there is no way in hell I’m doing quads, either!

I’ve ever been what I labeled as an introvert, but it’s much deeper than that; I find the company of most humans taxing, as I know I need to behave tamely with them. I cannot exist as I can alone, and that requires immense amounts of energy and focus. And, sometimes, that mask of humanity slips and I end up quite literally growling at people and reverting to my baser instincts. End up wanting to bite them. I’ve bitten objects before as a displacement behavior, where I wanted to bite a person but knew that was unacceptable. I’ve broken things with my jaws in anger, because biting the one angering me is not allowed.

While I won’t deny the occasional soft/silly shift, it is far more rare than the less public friendly ones. The ones where prey drive kicks in, or where territorial instincts demand space. Sometimes I talk about them, with people I trust; how I want to eat that little bird whole, how my teeth itch with desire to crush because someone stood too near me without permission.

The tameness I think is partially due to internet culture and marketability. Folks on sites like this one or tiktok are somewhat restricted due to who the platforms are trying to cater to; children. You can’t even SAY certain words on tiktok lest you get suppressed, so of course no one can talk about the darker side of being animal.

There’s a social shift going on that’s been getting more and more saturated since 2020 (Covid kept people inside - people that previously didn’t have a presence online, who suddenly do now). A culture of sanitation and keeping hush about anything you wouldn’t tell a literal child. It has an impact on many facets of life, but to focus on the one this blog is about, it means that it’s harder for folks to acknowledge those darker aspects without being labeled as violent, dangerous, problematic, etc.

Many people are afraid that being genuine will make them even more an outcast. It’s somewhat safe, albeit often considered cringey, to be a silly animal. Folks may tease or call names, but it’s more often than not (at least in the US) seen as just some immature fantasy. Silly, but harmless. But those baser, darker urges are NOT silly, and to the general public they come off as deeply and viscerally unwell. Mental illness is already demonized as dangerous; imagine trying to tack on those primal urges and hoping people won’t freak out or claim they feel unsafe. It puts a target on one’s back, in the right (or wrong) company. Safer to be digestible to the public than to be authentic.

Frankly, the best means I’ve found of handling it is to find your people and stick close to them, be they human or animal. I’ve been lucky to find a handful of humans that know I am in control of my urges, that I can be somewhat authentic with. Can half-joke about wanting to bite people, can talk about my desires for raw meat and the crunch of bone between my jaws.

As for online, I’m frankly too damn old to care what kids think of me, as I’m not here to cater to or interact with children. I’m here to be an old gnoll chewing on bones and reading the dashboard like the morning paper. The internet isn’t made for, meant for, or wholly centered on kids. I say take your space as an adult where you can. This is your corner. Block kids (or adults even) who complain, and make your space yours. Those who want to be there will be. Those who don’t, don’t need to be.

Anyone else feel like an outcast in the alterhuman community?

Most of the therians/alterhumans/nonhumans I see online are minors; I’m 20 years old.

Most of them can do quadrobics; I can’t run on all fours for five minutes without everything hurting, and if I did a jump, I’d probably break my wrists

A lot of them seem to enjoy the company of humans; I’ve never trusted or liked humans

Most of the community talks about being “silly” or “cute” when experiencing a mental shift; I have violent, animal instincts and avoid others when I feel a mental shift coming on

I don’t know. I just feel like a lot of us have become… tame. And I’m not. I feel like we as a community don’t talk about the “darker” side of not being human. The violent prey drive. The instinctive fear of humans that wild animals have.

To clarify, I mean no hate towards those who genuinely enjoy not being human. I just feel like even in a community of outcasts, I’m an outcast.

It’s just frustrating. In a place meant for those who aren’t human, I’m still too different to fit in. I just want to have a place to belong, you know?
