Prompt link by @local-xenogender-icon

Thank you for posting this prompt, it was very nice to do.

Alterhuman alphabet!

(feel free to copy, paste, fill in and credit me!)

A - awakening

When did you realise you are an alterhuman? At what age, how long ago?

2013-2014. It was due to youtube videos about otherkin/therian wolf packs after a rabbit hole of looking at werewolf things.

B - balance

Does your identity affect your social life (school, work, ect.)? Does it cause troubles or not?

No. It's not something that gets shown through.

C - city

Do you live in a city? If yes, is it hard for you to be away from nature? Does your therio/kintype even need nature?

Won't say where exactly we live aside we don't live by a beach, which can be a nice ol' kin trigger. Nature is always nice. The ocean is very nice. Do I need it? I can live without it. After all, this isn't a seafaring body.

D - diary

Do you have a diary about your alterhuman experiences? If not, do you want to start one?

I have not. I should. That would be nice, to try and encourage more experiences. I usually take note of plural experiences because time in/around tlpa community, so I have internet journals worth of sporadic activity concerning internal non-singular affairs.

E - experience in the community

What is your experience and thoughts about the alterhuman community?

I don't like the system discourse seeping in, it is scaring me and it makes me think people are not understanding what it means to disqualify these experiences. I'm confused about quadrobics. I'm always saddened about fictionkin's dilution, though that is from outside in. I do think we need less posts about the community itself and more experience posts. There's a reason why the online conventions are always more enthralling, and that's because they bind together love for sharing experiences.

F - friends

Have you told your friends about your identity?

Hmm... I am open about it online. I don't directly tell people.

G - gear

Do you have any gear? If yes, is it handmade or bought?

No.

Funny to think, cosplay could count as gear in this situation. Would I wear cosplay...... perhaps? Perhaps...

I - identity

What is (are) your therio/kintype(s)?

I boil it down to OC and fictional salmon shark (Syakesan, but I'm certain I may have went by the game's english translation: Sal). My very first kintype was kitsune, though not really sure we're that or not anymore. It is there as a shadow, and I do have some respect for Inari still.

J - jokes

Do you like to make little jokes about your identity or is it rather serious for you?

Life's a comedian and I am a joke. There's truth in jest.

I can joke about it but it is serious for me, yes. The absurdity and the brevity of it.

K - knowledge

In scale of 1-10, how big do you think your knowledge about alterhumans is? Are you new to this topic?

Not new. 8. If you ask me for advice I'll sugar coat it with "I think's" and "I could be wrong's".

L - liking, loving

Do you like your therio/kintype(s)? Do you love or dislike it/them?

Love yourself, right? I have trouble with that!

I only hope people don't try to believe I think bad bad things are OK. What a pain.

N - nature

Does your therio/kintype live in the wild, or rather not? (E.g. it's a house pet, or it's a robot.)

I lived in a house. In the sea. Suburbia?

O - otherhearted

Are you also otherhearted? If yes, what is your kithtype(s)?

Oh geeeeeeez there's some characters out there that remind me of me. I have to restrain my petty little mind from grasping onto them in any way, including otherheart. Akechi Goro reminds me of me only because it reminds me of Sal me. Playing that game (persona) was an experience!

P - popularity

Is your therio/kintype "popular" or is it rather rare?

....I'm........... popular to some.... Oh, there's some me's out there. I salute to theeem. And for OC, well I am one of a kind <3~

R - real body

Do you feel good about your psychical body? Do you experience gender dysphoria?

I have to separate myself from my body. It's fine, but the body is jarring. Aha...

S - sex

Does therio/kintype have a different sex than you?

Nope, I is I.

T - traits

What are your alterhuman traits? (E.g. a need to hunt, bark, ect.)

The need to.... uhm.... hm... See, though I'm a shark I'm pretty humany. I don't have the desire for the hunt. The need to mope. The desire to hate myself. The want for something more.

Urges

If you have a theriotype, are you good at controlling your animalistic urges? Do they bother you?

Rawr! I haven't an urge in the slightest.

We do get claws and teeth. The symbolic wolf of fear and anger. But that's different.

W - wondering

How do you think you would look like, if you could psychically shapeshift into your therio/kintype? (Describe or put an inage here!)

White guy.

Y - yarn

If you wanted to buy/make a tail, would it be real fur or fake/yarn fur?

Deep down (like if you put a shovel to the dirt only slightly-- that deep), I want a canine tail. That'd be fun to wear. Yes. Any kind of fur.

Z - zoo

How do you feel about zoos (a place)? Are they good or bad in your opinion? Do you want to go there to meet your theriotype (if you are a therian).

Not the expert. Think aquariums are great, or some of them. I see the sharks and go hello there, suckers! In all seriousness, do really love going to aquariums. Love it to bits, more than the zoo.
