Got a little curious so I figured I'd make a poll on this...

Hyperphantasia is the opposite of aphantasia It describes being able to very vividly "see"/imagine (realistic) images with your mind's eye On top of this, hyperphantasia includes being able to experience other senses with the image, such as taste, texture, sound, and smell

Reblogging for larger sample size is appreciated!!

I need to fly. My wings are too restricted, this flesh is too restrictive. Too small. I need to get out of here and to the sky. It's starting to ache almost, in a way.

Systember 9: Blurry!

We tried our best to represent bluriness and identity confusion in this piece, with a hint of dysphoria here and there. Sometimes it really is hard to figure out who is who, and all we have are maybe some features--but they're blurred and hard to make sense of.

Please do not use our art without our permission. Feel free to ask to use for icons and similar things, but we have the right to say no.

Had a sudden incredibly strong phantom wing shift, which is fun but it does make sitting on a couch difficult

[4sqadia-8anthen]

OMG I FORGOT TO TALK ABOUT THIS

RIGHT BEFORE BED WHEN IM FORCED TO TALK WITH MY PARENTS

I WAS IN A HUUUUUUGE HARPY PHANTOM SHIFT

OH MY GODS IT WAS STRONG

I COULD FEEL MY WINGS AND MY FEATHERS

BUT THE WORST THING-

—THE FEATHERS ON MY FUCKING BACK WERE LAYING WRONGGGG 😭

SO THE WHOLE TIME WE HAD TO TALK I WAS SHIFTING MY SHOULDERS, STANDING ON MY TOES, SORT OF T-REX ARMS

I WAS SO UNCOMFY, BUT AFTER I WAS JUST PREESING MY WINGS AND MADE A NESTTTTTT

For those of you who experience phantom wings, where on your body to they appear?:

My wings form on my arms, meaning they replace them entirely.

My wings form on my upper to mid back, somewhere from my shoulder blades to the end of my rib cage.

My wings form on my lower back, somewhere from the small of my back to my hips.

I have multiple sets of wings, or multiple winged kintypes, so I experience multiple of these.

I have one set of wings and one winged kintype but it fluctuates between one or more of the above, depending on the day.

My wings do not attach to my body, they exist in some way parallel to it (possibly in one the the areas above)

A different, more nuanced answer (that I might put in the tags or comments?)

I do not experience phantom wings/results

*I have multiple sets of wings, or multiple winged kintypes, so I experience multiple of these.

**I have one set of wings and one winged kintype but it fluctuates between one or more of the above, depending on the day.

i have been trying to ignore my alterhumanity, but it's so hard.

i walk in stores and get confused why im walking on two legs, why im not using my nonexistent paws to get around.

i see my backyard and want to run free, but not being able to do quads stops me. the feeling lives inside me, and i can't let it go.

nobody can see my tail wagging when i talk to them because it's not actually there. nobody understands.

i can't ignore my alterhumanity, so all i feel is shame.
