Cryptid Behavior

Rain, [10/3/2024 9:16 PM] SO. I go to the store and its a real nice night out. The sun just set so its dusk. Stars are showing up, the horizon is getting darker. It’s PEAK coyote time. When I get back I park and instead of going straight inside, I decide “fuckit” imma walk to the end of the road and just take in the sights from nature and this lil park here. It was… soul healing Rain, [10/3/2024 9:19 PM] I’m just standing in the gravel at the end of the road, before it dips down into the ravine and just like. yknow. lookin at stuff. (aka standing still) Rain, [10/3/2024 9:20 PM] and right as I’m about to turn away and go to my house a car is coming down the street. Its 8pm. I should’ve figured folks would be getting home from work soon enough. I hope they will turn down the other street but the headlights persist… kinda harshing the vibes imo Rain, [10/3/2024 9:23 PM] ‘cept the headlights don’t budge. I expect to hear the car turn or the lights to move away but they don’t. Rain, [10/3/2024 9:26 PM] At this point it occurs to me that they want to park in the spots near me, and now see a figure in red and brown earth tones standing in the darkened brush with its back turned, silently staring out at nothing Rain, [10/3/2024 9:32 PM] I turn my head to nod in the direction of their parking spot and turn back. My hair was blocking my face but I’d like to think they saw me for a second.   because as soon as I did this they hurriedly turned to pull into the parking spot.  Rain, [10/3/2024 9:34 PM] and I didn’t do it on purpose per se but as soon as their headlights were off of me I walked back up the road. I was on the other side of their vehicle before their headlights even went off. By the time I head their door open I was halfway back to my house. Rain, [10/3/2024 9:36 PM] So, had they parked their car, hopped out and looked for the mystery figure in the dark, they wouldn’t have seen a thing.  I hope my neighbors spotted a fucking cryptid today

Hello, what does the ☉∇ in your name stand for? Ive never seen those symbols together before /genq (feel free to dm me with the definition if you'd prefer)

to be honest, I've been a little timid to post my symbol/flag proposal here, since tumblr is a space I've only ever engaged in from a distance as a lurker, and never a place where I've ever participated in the communities or discourse surrounding alterhumanity!!

but, it doesn't make sense not to post it at all based on this, so, I went ahead and published the draft I've been sitting on.

the symbols are meant to be a way to represent holotheric identity! I made a post explaining my justification for the symbology here, if you feel like reading about it!

[feralfluidfox]

a proposal for symbology, and a flag, for the holothere/holotherian label.

"Holothere" is a term for physical nonhumanity, coined by @defrostedvertebrae. A holothere considers themselves entirely nonhuman, including physically.

Here are my ideas, and their justification.

Symbol design:

Invoking the sun: Altering the theta, turning it into the astrological symbol for the sun, to invoke clarity and confidence.

Letting the sun shine through the vessel: Breaking the delta/del open, the light of self overpowering it.

Inverting the delta: Inverting the delta (and turning it into a del, or nabla), to symbolize the shedding of the need for changing/transforming. This can also represent a shift in energy from fire to water, or from intensity to stability.

Flag design:

Nonhuman Unity: The colors are inspired by the Nonhuman Unity flag designed by foxsee, with the addition of the lighter colors intended to invoke a deeper sense of inclusion among creatures using different nonhuman labels across the alterhuman spectrum.

The power of light: The sun is shining through, its light is breaking through barriers, coloring everything around it. This is meant to communicate the intention to be Real, the intention to be Seen, the intention to be Bright.

Notes:

The sun and the del/nabla have unicode characters, so there is potential for the unicode representation "☉∇" for the sun-del.

If you are interested in learning more about physical nonhumanity in general, please feel free to check out the official resource from the system that coined the term holothere: holothere.carrd.co

High quality files of the designs are available here.

Lastly, I want to thank Rain (@vanillayoteart), Foxsee (@synanthropic), Coyote (@farayote), and Liquid Foxes for all of their help in the design iteration process of this symbol, flag, and its proposal!

this body belongs to a fox. this mind belongs to a fox. other nonhumans can tell, they can see it. it's in my eyes. my eyes belong to a fox. I am a fox.

if you see me and call me a human, you are wrong, like how calling me "sir" is wrong. I am a vixen. I am a fox.
