self indulgent red fox alterhuman moodboard with the trans pride flag :33

[motherofmisfits]

I do not remember much of my home. I do remember I lived in the void between all, as I have mentioned before. It was a place where nothingness itself was tangible. The place was both liquid and gas, solid and not. It is hard to explain.

I had made my own little camp there, made something out of the nothing to make someplace a bit more hospitable for those who may visit me and also to entertain myself.

But I also vaguely remember a place that was similar to that void, but everything was outlined in bright, almost glowing outlines.

It looked vaguely like this:

(Although better and more realistic looking objects. I am not the best artist.)

I do not know if this place was separate from the void I know or a part of it. This place could have existed within the void, or the void could have existed here. I am unsure.

Other than this, I remember a blue wolf in this realm.

The memories are vague.

could you do a crow/corvid therian flag? :333 no pressure

Crowkin Flag!

For beings who are crows!

Corvidkin flag!

For beings who are apart of the corvidae family!

Nonhuman expressions of affection are great. Purring. Exposing weak points as a show of trust. Head bonks. Preening and chewing. Nuzzling. Biting. Intertwining tails. Feeding each other. Little chuffs, chatters, beeps and squeaks. Fluffing up of feathers, fur or other things. Dancing to impress. Cleaning their fur, scales, feathers or skin. Sharing body heat. Ears pointing toward those you care about to show your full attention is on them. Slow blinking.

I've seen anti-kins claiming that all therians are just felines and canines more than once and it is just so funny to me because they fail to see how diverse we actually are as a community because they never actually... yk... look. They just judge based on what they see on the surface.

We were pioneered by elves like myself. I've met dragons, armadillos, pangolins, horses, possums, stoats, kangaroos, monkeys, crows, angels, zombies, ant-eaters, dinosaurs, hedgehogs, owls, hamsters, hell, I've met bugs. There is so much diversity within the therian community that close-minded people refuse to see.

So basically... Shoutout if you have a common kintype! Shoutout if you have an uncommon kintype! And a special shoutout to celestials, infernals, elves, dragons and paleos because y'all are metal. Love you all!

I bet crunching your little fangs into cardboard feels good as hell for a cat

[wanderingcritter]

Therianthropy is really a unique type of existential and body horror quite honestly.

Perpetually stuck longing for experiences and abilities your body is physically incapable of providing you, fighting against a form that feels utterly foreign and disfigured compared to how your mind attempts to interpret it. An animal shoved inside a vessel and society it was never meant to even have knowledge of, with no obtainable means of escape.

The horror of always appearing to those around you as something almost alien to yourself, of your own tendons and bones barring you from grasps at freedom, of being something you are not.

“One day I’m gonna grow wings…" 🪽

Why did this make me feel so much?

DING DING DING DING‼️

Reminder!:

Not all Alterhumans are nonhuman

Not all Alterhumans are fully nonhuman

Some Alterhumans are partially nonhuman

Some Alterhumans are human

Otherheartedness is a deep rooted identity, just as otherkinity is

Otherlinks are valid

P-shifters, biological Therians and delusional Therians are valid

Therianthropy is the experience of identifying as an animal in ANY way

Alterhumanity is an umbrella term for all beings who aren't fully human in any way

Alterhumanity isn't just Therians, otherkins and otherhearteds

Therianthropy is not masks and tails and quadrobics

Edit: [the label otherpaw isn't actually harmful]

Quadrobics does not make you a therian

Some nonhumans don't like the label therian

Physical Therians and biological Therians do not make the community look bad

Alot 'therians' on yt and TikTok are just misinformed kids who do not deserve hate for a mistake

YOUR EXPERIENCE IS VALID‼️

KINTYPE LIST!

over the past year, ive experimented with multiple labels and identities. this is to update yall on the creatures i feel connected to and identify as/with!

1. Red Fox

this is my strongest type, and is my main hearttype. i experience phantom limbs, specifically a tail, ears, fangs, muzzle, and being the size of a fox. i also experience the most species dysphoria in regards to my red fox kintype. this has been my longest-lasting identity as well! i own quite a bit of gear for this type, including a tail and multiple self-made masks. for me, red foxes teeter on the line between identifying *with* and identifying *as* one. so far, though, i do consider myself foxhearted! i experience longing for forests and fields, and a burrowed den. i also enjoy collecting and hoarding small items and food, similar to a fox. i specifically know that i have red fur, black paws and ear tips, and a white tail tip with green eyes.

2. Grey Fox

this is much more recent! a few days ago, i did a moodboard for someone regarding a grey fox, and i felt an instant connection. this is definitely a hearttype for me. something about looking at images of these critters makes me feel like im looking at family. grey foxes are most active at dusk and dawn, which i identify with strongly. grey foxes are unique in their ability for climbing trees, which i identify so strongly with! i love climbing up and just perching in a tree, watching people below me. it makes me feel safe and at-home. looking at this image feels like looking in a mirror, honestly. i believe that grey foxes are a strong hearttype for me, and may also dip into kintype territory!

3. Ocelot

again, this is very recent. i made a moodboard i believe just yesterday with these critters and something just clicked. i have experienced multiple feline shifts/behaviors, but i thought they were just cameo shifts. now i know that this is me!! ocelots are nocturnal, extremely territorial, and spend time in dense brush or trees-- all things that i identify with. ocelots mainly live in coastal marshes, mangrove forests, and tropical forests. i feel SO connected to this critter, it's absurd. this is definitely a kintype for me.

4. North American River Otter

our first linktype! i identify voluntarily as a river otter. ive always thought they were really cool and i feel a strong connection to creeks and rivers. i also exhibit multiple otter behaviors, some intentionally and some unintentionally. swimming is also quite euphoric for me! i don't feel entirely aquatic though, and i know i have paws and fur while in the water. this was my first linktype i chose! to me, this is a funlink.

5. Wild Rabbit

this is mostly behavior-based. i experience intense prey instincts, remain alert when outdoors, feel the need to burrow and make a safe place for myself, prefer to be solitary, make nests, and dig! i have quite a few rabbits in my neighborhood, and i feel a strong relation to them. im not quite sure what label fits my experience-- it's not intentional, but doesn't feel involuntary either. more like learned behaviors. i don't feel that i am a rabbit, but i am very much so like a rabbit. i dont identify with rabbits, but i do act and feel like one. it's strange! but burrowing and nesting makes me feel so euphoric :33 i believe this may be a form of copinglink, alongside a deeper involuntary identity.

6. Wolf

this is a copinglink/involuntary identity. again, it's behavior-based. this type feels the strongest whenever i am alone or with another person i care about, especially when in dangerous situations or areas. this is a very general wolf/canine type, as it's not specific to one kind or breed of canine. grey wolf seems to be the strongest, but i also feel shifts and identify as/with black wolves, coastal wolves, dobermans, german shepherds, and other canines! i believe this does partially stem from trauma, as i feel like a feral dog let free from confinement. however, i still identify on some integral level as a wolf, or as someone who was raised by/should have been one.

7. Fallow deer

discovered while I was running through the woods with my friends and I felt a strong mental shift! not very strong usually, but gets really intense when I run or spend time in the forest. seeing deer tracks also gets me feeling shifty as it feels like I have family nearby. i identify as a deer mentally and physically!

8. Ominous conceptkin

this is a fun one :33 i identify as this concept/vibe! i feel such strong kinship with ominous spaces, especially certain backrooms levels. i feel euphoric when I'm in an ominous place, especially if I'm creeping out others (in a friendly way of course!! not just random people, and not all the time). i love feeling spooky and foreboding :3

9: Trinkethearted

i feel a very strong connection to the idea of trinkets and collecting things! i have a large collection myself of various sparkly bits and bobs. i thought this was a kintype, but after some thinking, it feels more like a connection than an identity. i love decorating myself with a lot of jewelry and accessories to feel connected to this hearttype! organizing my collections, thrifting, displaying my trinkets, and collecting new items all help as well.

All right, my dears, some unfortunate news.

(Plain text because I do not have the energy to color it, unfortunately, though I want to)

While I was hoping for my motivation to return, it doesn't seem like it will. I do not want to abandon this blog, so I will leave it up to you all how I reshape it.

Sadly, while I enjoy helping others, I quickly burnt out under the expectation of giving advice. It grew to the point where I felt anxiety anytime I looked at the Tumblr icon and refused to open this blog out of fear someone else might have asked me for advice and guilt for all the asks in my inbox.

For the sake of my mental health, I will unfortunately be clearing my inbox without responding to any asks in there.

As for this blog, as I said, I do not want to abandon it. I hope that reshaping it will bring back the joy I once had for it.

Here is a poll of different ways I could change this blog, any can respond, although this is mostly aimed at my few followers.
