C!Dream positivity post! You did many things in my canon that I am in no place to forgive nor condemn you for, but for what it’s worth, I appreciated you. And I miss you.

Thank you for teaching me how to make a quick escape. Thank you for saving my brother. Thank you for sharing my dream of living forever and learning everything, even though it never came to pass.

From your narrative parallel and friend—I wish you only the best.

Wifies and Parrot had idealized versions of each other. Wifies saw Parrot as self-sacrificing, but he never really did anything to be considered that. He risked his life, and he joined fights for a greater good, but he never really did anything with the expectation that he would actually die for that good. He likes to fight for things, but he's never really tried to die for it. He's pretty self-serving a lot of the time, and his hero complex is part of that.

Likewise, Wifies was never as innocent as Parrot liked to think he was. Wifies could be kind of a dick sometimes. His comments to Dean during the trip to the Farlands could be rude and he never exactly went out of his way to help people unless it was Parrot. Wifies burning the compass was an attempt to control Parrot that didn't work. It was meant to be something you could look back at after the Director reveal to say "oh, he's actually always been like this."

I don't think Parrot should've left him to die. I would've liked to see more development for both of them about this. I also think what Wifies did as the Director was fucked up and cruel. I'm glad he did it and I hope he had fun doing it. Part of me also thinks he kind of deserved to die the way he did and I'm not really mad at Parrot for it.

Hi, I’m Seawatt. I ate people.

I see so many fictionkin who are like "well my source is problematic but i didn't do the problematic things in MY canon so i'm a good person" and good for them, canon divergence is fine and cool but is there anyone else whose source is basically fine, but their canon is just. awful did anyone else do really horrible things in their canon that didn't happen in source or like am i the only one

"came back wrong" sure yeah that's cool i guess "came back suicidal" now you're talking

[yin-of-many-kins]

What's up fellow Wifies would we appreciate some userboxes on this fine afternoon

[yin-of-many-kins]

Super interesting that the reveal was set up to be someone saying "I am the director". That's how everyone was saying it in the joke tweets, and I think that's what most people expected.

But, what we got was the director saying "I am Wifies" as the reveal, which I think is interesting.

To Wifies, being the director was never about the image or symbol of the director, but about the end goal of protecting Parrot.

"I am the director" is about showing off power. "I am Wifies" is about appealing to Parrot with humanity, to show that despite the power and the threatening image of the director, Wifies cares more about his personal connection to Parrot.

Wifies does want to have power over Parrot, he later in the conversation does say "I am the director", but it's important that that's not how he starts the conversation, and not how he does the reveal.

Hello as 10 versions of Wifies kin. If you’re still looking for sourcemates, well, I’ll be here. Best of luck, Ken!

If you mess up a social interaction you can say "Failed Experiment" and move on

[yin-of-many-kins]

lifestealers only know three ways to flirt:

1) I'll kill you

2) I'm going to kill myself for you

3) I'll kill and make deals with others and give your their hearts

and i think that's beautiful

Hello Unstable Universe kins. I am the fucking director. I guess.

Toxic yandere director Wifies kinfirmation 🫡

[yin-of-many-kins]

Uh oh here come the Shen Twins!

POV you are… literally anyone approaching these two tbh.

[yin-of-many-kins]

Being fictionkin with voluntary shifts is so funny because I didn't feel like giving a presentation as myself (the class gives me anxiety) so now Saionji Ukyo from Dr. Stone is discussing the role of Japanese-American soldiers during World War II. Pop off I gues

my Technoblade from that noncanon DSMP past/parallel life, btw... thinking about him

Territorial Insticts + alterhumanity

i think a lot of alterhuman folks experience territorial instincts in ways that don’t always get talked about. especially if your identity includes predatory, wild, or socially protective species, such as canids, felines, dragons, etc. some of us might feel a deep need to claim space. not in a metaphorical way, but like. this is mine. this is my room, my den, my person, my pack. this is my corner of the internet. don’t touch it. don’t look at it too long. i’ll bite.

and it’s not always aggressive, it can be protective, affectionate. we make a space safe for the people we care about. we guard it. we watch.

for some of us it’s instinctual. for some it’s tied up in trauma, being displaced, growing up in unsafe environments, feeling like we never had a space that was truly ours. alterhumanity can make that ache sharper, more specific.

i guard things. food, objects, spaces, people. it’s not symbolic, it’s instinct. it’s like something clicks in my brain and suddenly whatever it is becomes mine. not in a selfish way, but in a protective, possessive, defensive kind of way. like: this is important. this is sacred. this is part of my territory. don’t touch it. don’t fuck with it. don’t even get too close unless you’re trusted.

sometimes it’s my room. sometimes it’s a person i love. sometimes it’s a hoodie i’ve worn every day for two weeks. sometimes it’s leftover food in the fridge that my brain has decided i’ll starve without. sometimes it’s not even rational, it’s instinctual. animal. primal.

it makes so much sense to me through the lens of psychological therianthropy, the creature in me doesn’t separate emotional connection from territorial instinct. if i love you, i’ll guard you. if something is mine, it’s not just an object, it’s part of my den. part of my hoard. part of myself.

and it’s also tangled up with my bpd [ suspected ], fear of abandonment, attachment issues, identity instability. my territory gives me shape. it tells me who i am. if someone crosses into it without permission, it doesn’t just feel like a boundary violation, it feels like a threat to my existence. it feels like my identity is bleeding. it feels like i’m going to lose something i can’t replace.

territoriality can be violent, but it can also be soft. i’ll sit by the door while you sleep. i’ll remember exactly how you take your tea. i’ll patch up your jacket and fold it so it smells like you again. i’ll bark at anything that looks at you wrong.

for me, being alterhuman means having instincts i can’t always explain, but i feel them in my bones. and territoriality is one of the loudest ones. it’s not always easy to live with, but it makes me who i am.
