It's a full moon as I'm posting this, and I've gotta say, I feel distinctly more....shapeshifter-y. I'm digging it.

[the-fun-in-dysfunctional]

Noticing a common theme among the things I turn into as a shapeshifter. Most of them are beings often associated with and involving themes of loyalty, devotion, and purpose.

Sometimes, I'm just like, a creature. But often times I feel yearning for a purpose and to be cared for, like a doll. A need for function and maintenance like a machine. Even a desire for something to consume myself with devotion towards, like an angel (which is a strange feeling because I've never been religious).

These are all themes I've struggled with in my life, and I wonder? Did that cause alterhumanity? Or the other way around? Some food for thought.

Tumblr is only letting me like and follow with my first blog which I don't want to use anymore, there's no way to switch it to this one, and I can't delete one blog without deleting the others. Does anyone have a solution to this problem.

[the-fun-in-dysfunctional]

I like this post. It really explains what being a shapeshifterkin feels like. I cannot be one thing, I am several things.

How did you figure out that you're a shapeshifter? :0

I actually questioned shapeshifter for a while, but polykin just felt more accurate to what I experience. It's cool that one of your forms is a hyena tho, that's one of my theriotypes!

I thank thee for thine question dear!

I always knew myself to change, the environment and those I surrounded myself inspired change that could not be seen by any but I. It began as I questioned my gender and sexuality, I found I could never stay with one label or definition. After a long while of confusion I classified myself as genderfluid.

Within myself I sense a deep energy, it cannot be put into words and it is not an emotion or a thought. If I paid attention to it I could feel a balance of feminine and masculine constantly shifting and changing. Amongst men I become a man, amongst certain friends I take different gendered forms, certain environments, clothes and experiences will promote a change in gender.

My entire life I’ve been mimicking behaviours, mostly animals. Growling, chirping and howling, walking in all fours, building nests and taking comfort in certain scents. As soon as I discovered nonhumanity was a thing I knew that was me.

I found that my nonhumanity worked the same as my gender, changing with time, environment, mood, outside stimuli and those to whom I spoke. I found that I could not simply be one or the other.

When I knew I was a shapeshifter I found my name, or names. For years I could not choose a name for myself. When I came to know that I am a shapeshifter I began to find my names, those which I go by.

One gender, one label, one specie and one name could never encompass me. It is not the nature of a shapeshifter.

🧸 - does your _type affect your diet?

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

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

Thanks for the asks!

1. My diet hasn't been affected at all really. Sometimes I feel more carnivorous, but that's nothing new.

2. (Forgive me if I'm misunderstanding what a shift is, I'm still pretty new to this.) I think I kind of do? There are times where I feel a lot more like one thing, mentally or otherwise, and other times where I'm just kind of neutral. I can feel phantom limbs, but it's mostly an on demand thing. I think that last part is tied to me being specifically "shapeshifterkin."

3. Only a couple weeks to a month, though I've always felt something.

Whatever fictional character my autism is freaking out about at the moment too, can't believe I forgot that one.

List of things I'd shapeshift into if I could:

A dragon

A dog

Various humanoid fantasy species (fae, vampires, a lizard person)

A big insect thing

An avian

A nondescript void entity

A robot

A wooden doll

A human with elements of all the other stuff on the list

And other stuff I can't think of.

doot doot! (for your ask game; how did you realize you were alterhuman, what are your specific identities, and how does it affect your everyday life?)

(Holy shit I forgot about the doot doot, you delivered on your promise.)

I don't remember the exact moment I realized, but I do know I'd always felt a way that I couldn't quite describe. Tumblr started recommending me alterhuman content for whatever reason, and that's when I started thinking of myself that way.

As for specific kintypes, it's kinda complicated. I use "shapeshifterkin" because I believe a shapeshifter encapsulates me best. I often times feel like a dragon or a dog. The other day, I was leaning towards a robot, which has never happened before or since. A long time (several years) before I realized i was alterhuman or even knew what that was, i felt like a cat in ways i didn't understand (i haven't felt like that for a very long time though.) Sometimes I'm even a human. It's why I personally prefer alterhuman over nonhuman, because "human" is still part of me as much as any other form I could take.

To be honest, it doesn't affect my day-to-day life very much, at least not outwardly. I do spend a lot of time thinking about it though. And I think it has helped motivate me to take better care of my body because if I can't shapeshift, then I better personalize what I was given!
