No.4 favourite animal, orca

[iridescent-moon]

Here's those pics! Unfortunately, I can only run the quality at good if I wanna sacrifice a big chunk of frames xD So I upped it in exchange for the prettier pictures

Didn't get to play very much tonight but I love the new Wolf Quest map! ;w; It's so beautiful and I'm excited to find wolverines.

I took a few pictures but I forgot to upload em before I got off my laptop for the night lol

It feels a lot like learning a language and struggling to sound just right. maybe it's too textbook or just sounds off. and also worrying if you're able to be understood, if you're making sense. That's exactly how I feel just speaking at all x_x

Accidentally forgetting to provide context to the thing I'm talking about, talking too formally, too laidback, too fast, etc. etc.

and ofc just not having anything to say at all

No but really how are people supposed to speak? How do put thoughts into words?

Because I'll think of something and then try to put it into words. And my brain just comes with up "uhh.. yeah!! thing!! I really liked thing and that was pretty cool.. yeah.."

And that's it. In the animal way, as a human animal, as a therian, as neurodivergent person, I still don't understand it. And I'm just content to be silently happy and share my interests

I don't know if mentioned it or not but I'm still working on that art comic thing about everything I just described. Haven't done any drawing yet but I've been brainstorming

Just. aaaaa. again, really hard to put feelings. wordless, powerful, emotional thoughts into words. And it's something I've struggled with all of my life

I'm pretty sure I never mentioned this here but over time I've just been seeing sea otters like everywhere.

One early example was when I was at urgent care. I had brought along my sea otter finger puppet for comfort, and on the TV in the waiting room there was a sea otter.

Kinda silly but I also keep seeming to get sea otters in personality quizzes. Or for those "your birthday/birthday month, your animal" posts, I had another one of those recently. The list started exactly on my birthday aw well so it's like hmmmmmmmmm 🤔

I'm certain that I'm not an otter therian, I've never once had shifts or feel any similarities. Not really sure what it could mean, if anything

It's raining super heavily outside and I have the strongest urge to just run out side and sit in the puddles -w-

[iridescent-moon]

Ironically, I've been having trouble writing an essay about not having anything to say (kind of an oversimplification of the topic, but uh. Once again, I do not have the words to describe it lol)

So, I think I'm going to switch from writing to art 🤷 just trying not to take so long with everything. My disorders & chronic illness slow me down and I end up not being able to accomplish very much

[iridescent-moon]

Gonna go ahead and close requests until I can actually get through the ones currently in my queue. Very sorry as always for taking so long! /gen

[iridescent-moon]

I'm not sure what to title this. Not vent art or anything, just wanting to make something that really emphasizes the sensations of my phantom shifts

i’ve been kinda watching your blog from afar after seeing the equine discord. i had a brief period where i tried to engage with the otherkin community on a forum when i was much younger but was quickly bullied off. i guess my question is how do i get back into things? or really into them in the first place? both in terms of community and personal connections

sorry if this is weird ^^; i’m just clueless and feel weird engaging with others or even myself because of it

—some lost unicorn

Not weird at all! And I'm so sorry you were bullied away.

This advice is going to sound a little biased but all I can really think to say would be to join communities surrounding your niche. I'm in a few general therian/otherkin discords and communities but I find a lot of comfort in being within smaller more niche place, such as Equidae of course. It's easier to find relatable people who share those specific feelings as opposed to general alterhuman community.

Doesn't necessarily have to be a discord or forum, but anywhere you feel comfortable. Even if it's just here on tumblr

What's a other hearted?

Like, what do u mean you're cat/orca hearted?

Otherhearted is really hard to explain (at least for me) given that the definition is pretty vague. But to be otherhearted is to identify with something.

For me, this means I have a very strong spiritual and psychological connection to orcas and cats respectively. I feel this love and connection to them as if they were my family and we belong together. But I don't identify as either of them. I myself am neither a cat nor orca. (Even though I experience cat & orca shifts. Confusing I know!)

I'm sorry I can't really explain it much better than that, I'm just not good at doing so lol
