Our host doesn't physically identify as nonhuman, so that's doesn't really change when someone else is fronting. I might be understanding the poll wrong tho

kind of curious about something. please interact with this poll only if you're physically nonhuman and a system. no "see results" option, sit this one out 'till it's over.

Where are the silly little physical nonhumans at that are just chilling

[dromaeochorus]

Shoutout to the physical nonhumans/therians/etc who cannot relate to posts about being happy or upset about being in a human body because you simply aren't in a human body.

REALLLLL

I don't really post in the nonhuman tag much since I don't have much to say that often. Asking me what it's like to be a bird is like asking a human what it's like to be a human, it's not something the average person thinks about

I feel like here on Tumblr, non humans and humans alike are forgetting that the term nonhuman doesn't just refer to therians. It's a very broad term, and many of us are not therians. It can be spiritual beings, fictionkins, objectkins, and a vast number of other things I don't even know the terms for.

I say this because I personally have been looking through the nonhuman tags and all I see is therians. I personally am feeling very excluded from my own community. Maybe other nonhumans just don't know how to talk about their experiences or spread their posts, but I almost never see any other kind of nonhuman content and it is just very lonely.

Nothing against therians obviously, I just want everyone to know and remember how broad of a term nonhuman is, and that not every nonhuman is a therian or related to animals in some way.

Physical alterhumans (gonna be specific for nonhumanity in my post, since alterhuman and nonhuman are not synonymous) have always been around, but the community has a long history of saneism and ableism. This led people to overcorrect and go "no no we don't ACTUALLY think we're nonhuman, we're not ⭐Crazy™️⭐". This problem still exists, but it's not AS bad as it was some years ago.

Circling back around to alterhumanity, after reading the official coining post, it's not defined as purely non-physical. That's just something people keep tacking on due to, well, the thing I described above.

Question for the physical alterhumans here

I support y’all but I have a question: I heard someone say that alterhumanity is supposed to be non physical so how is physical alterhumans alterhumans?/gq

To the Aves, Birds, and Feathery Headmates!

Whether you are therian, alterhuman, otherkin, otherhearted, copinglink, or nonhuman in some way, if you’re a bird or avian headmate, this post is for you! Avian headmates have always been and will always be cherished and valued members of the system community, and we are so happy to be able to share this space with you! So here’s to all the aves and ave-adjacents out there!

🦚 Shoutout to aves with phantom wings, beaks, feathers, talons, webbed feet, gizzards, vents, crops, cloacas, crests, or other bird parts!

🪺 Shoutout to aves with nesting, flocking, flying, migrating, hunting, hiding, or brooding instincts due to their avian natures!

🦜 Shoutout to those who are hybrids, have some bird-like qualities, or who are only part ave in some way!

🐥 Shoutout to aves who vocalize in birdsong, whistles, trills, squawks, cries, chirps, caws, and other sounds that birds might make!

🦢 Shoutout to those who are questioning if they are birds or avians!

🦉 Shoutout to those who are aves without having a specific idea of what species they are!

🐦 Shoutout to aves who craft wings, tails, beaks, or talons, make nests, collect shiny objects, ruffle and preen their feathers, and do other things to help live their best avian lives!

🦅 Shoutout to aves who are comfortable acting and presenting as a human despite actually being a bird!

🕊 Shoutout to introjects whose source is fully or partially avian, which has led them to identify as an ave as well!

🦃 Shoutout to aves who have always known about their bird identities, and to those who discovered this aspect of themselves later in life!

To any bird or avian headmate who reads this, we hope your future will be filled with peace, happiness, and species euphoria! Know that your identities are real, you are valid, and you belong in your system and the plural community just the way you are. We believe that your future is bright, and will be filled with things that bring joy to you and your system!

Whether or not you follow your instincts, experience shifts, or have noticeable bird-like qualities, your life experience as an ave will always be special, unique, and valued. We truly are wishing the very best for you in all that you do! Keep soaring high, our feathered friends, and have a wonderful day!

Just "nonhuman" might work?

I'm a system member and I'm just a dromaeosaurus, I'm not paleokin or a paleotherian or anything. Another way to explain it is if you saw a squirrel outside, that squirrel isn't squirrelkin, it's just a squirrel.

Although I use "physically" to explain that in my case, I don't mean physically as in the outside body of the host. I mean physically as in my body inside the system

is there an alter human label where you’re not otherkin in the “indentifies as” way but rather you just Are that thing. just not physically? the term otherkin doesn’t feel right for me being a piglin but it’s the closest thing i’ve found ?

[dromaeochorus]

Would love to request a secretary bird if you’re still doing requests! Thank you <3

Here you go!

(Foreword: I’m not vaguing anyone in specific, I’ve seen this a number of times recently.)

I am gonna need you guys to start clarifying what you mean when you say “believe we’re/they’re actually animals”, because if you’re using it to mean “believe we’re/they’re physically animals” I need to point out that that is not what you’re saying, you’re saying “genuinely identify as animals”. Actually is a synonym for genuinely, not physically. If you don’t believe/feel yourself to actually be your kintype, you’re by definition not otherkin at all. Using “actually” to mean “physically” is at best unclear and at worst implying that people who don’t identify as physically nonhuman “know” we’re not ~really~ nonhuman at all, which I know is not what any of y’all mean but is definitely how it reads, especially to anyone not already intimately familiar with the discourse. Please use the words you actually mean, I’m begging you guys here

Hey creatures, I want to do some short 10-minute, 1 layer paintings! If the ask box closes then they're not available anymore tho

[dromaeochorus]

(Decided to start a series of posts based on this prompt set! Some are a bit modified though to fit me. They'll all be tagged with "#drom's prompt answers")

🪵 What is your species? How much do you know about it? I'm a dromaeosaurus! I don't know much of anything about them though outside of my own experiences.

🐾 Do you live in an area similar to your species's habitat? If not, would you want to? I don't live in a similar area actually! My original habitat was more like a temperate rainforest, super overgrown. It looks nice but I'm not sure if I'd want to live in that forever.

🦌 Do you prefer to be seen as your species or as a human? Definitely as my species. Being seen as a human just doesn't sit right.

🦧 Are you a wild or domestic animal? Wild!

🐺 Do you own any gear? If so, what is it? We used to have a supermotion tail, but it fell apart. Would love to make a new one though! The original was never fully completed anyway.

(To be continued)
