Im completely accepting of kff and people who use kin to mean relating to, (even if I think there's better terms you could use) but is there a way for me to easier convey I personally mean kin as in I LITERALLY am this thing & not just relating to ? I am these identities LITERALLY and I will bite you if you call me a delusional attachment.

I know kith is the term for relating to and so therefore kin 'should' mean identifying as, but words are what they are used as not dictionary definitions. So at this point if I say kin, many people will assume the 'relating to' definition.

How I Experience Being Musickin

Aside from being a dragon i also identify as musickin. that means i non-physically identify as spesific songs or genres, i feel as though i am that or an embodiment of that spesific song.

what kind of music related shifts do i experience?:

i experience some kind of aura shifts where my aura kind of becomes synced with the music that is playing of spesific genres. infact it triggers my senses and i can see colors and i'd like to imagine my aura vibrating to the sound. so i would say they are some kind of sensory shift - "a shift where one experiences heightened or altered senses that they feel resemble the senses of their kintype" but mixed with a an envisage shift

its difficult to put into exact words or even a drawing. or images. i cant? its more of a mental feeling then anything. phantom shifts? yes i experience those too. though of music related shifts rarely. when i do they are usually of music gear objects such as speakers

being a bass player & beginner music producer opend up so many doors for how i perceive music & sound. at first it was just a connection i had with it, i liked it i liked the sense of familairity but soon i discoverd it is actually a part of me instead of just something i connect with!. it took me sometime and still does to accept that im also musickin. i find it difficult to piece together how it works having mulitple kintypes. but i just cannot deny this aspect of me. it is something i find....well..rather difficult to talk about.

Genuinely, how do so many anti-endo people have the fact that they're anti-endo and "fakeclaimers DNI" right next to each other in their profile/pinned/etc.? Babe, you are the fakeclaimer. The thing you are doing when you say "DNI endogenic "systems"/supporters", putting "systems" in scare quotes to state that you don't think they're really systems, is by definition fakeclaiming. You just think that it's justified when you do it because this time you've got the REAL fakes and you REALLY know how to tell when someone is lying about their experiences and identity, pinkie promise. That doesn't make it not fakeclaiming - all fakeclaimers think that. They wouldn't do it otherwise.

This poll is NOT a measure of the validity of someone's identity, nor does it imply that nonhuman identity is something you can grow out of.

The context behind the poll is that I was much more "feral" as a child than I am now, and a lot of the instincts I had prior are just kinda non-existent. Which makes nonhuman identy less something I have to actively "battle with" (aside from the occassional dysphoria) and moreso something I can just chill out and go "hehe imma lizurb".

Once the timelimit's over, this poll can also probably give some comfort to younger people who are probably struggling with instinct stuff rn. While it's not guaranteed, there is a non-zero chance it'll mellow out. I'm also just curious how many have similar experiences

The Alterhumans in Relationships Survey is collecting data on alterhumans and queerplatonic, sexual, and romantic relationships. This survey asks questions about your current and past relationships, and how you feel about relationships and alterhumanity. This survey was made for otherkin, therians, fictionkin, systems, and other people who may call themself alterhuman. But even if you don't use any of those terms, you can take still this survey.

This survey is being organized by Who-is-Page, an alterhuman scholar who has been in the community since 2014. The data collected in this survey will be used for research purposes and may be presented at an online convention (OtherCon 2024) later this year. Depending on how much you write in the write-in questions, this survey takes about 15 minutes.

Survey Link

Your physical body must at least 18 years old to participate in this survey. The survey will close on July 6th.

Would anyone be interested in a Canadian (with channels for provinces) or great lakes area (with a focus on Canada, but welcoming to Americans on the lakes) otherkind, therian, alterhuman, etc. server for planning howls? I been wanting to plan some howls once I get back from my summer gig.

The purpose of this survey is to collect data about the experiences of people who feel sensations of nonhuman body parts, for example, wings or a tail. Some call these supernumerary phantom limbs, otherlimbs, or astral limbs, though you may have other preferences for the words you use for your own experiences. If you haven't had those experiences, you can participate in this survey too. This survey was made for people who call themselves otherkin, therianthrope, furry, or any other potentially alterhuman or nonhuman identity. If you don't describe yourself with any of those words, you can participate in this survey too.

The survey will take you about 6 to 15 minutes. Everyone age 18 and up is welcome to fill out the survey at the below link, until it closes on July 6, 2024:

Survey Link

Who is running this survey and why: The person running this survey is Orion Scribner (they/them), an otherkin/therianthrope who has been making projects about these communities since 2005. I will use the results in my panel at an Internet-based convention later this year (OtherCon 2024), and in other future research projects.

My biggest, first, most important piece of advice for therians who awakened roughly a year ago? You are still NOT immune to the "I'm pretty sure I know everything by now" phase of being, relatively, extremely new to a community; which is to say, the education blog you have the urge to start is not necessary and can wait. You are in the learning and figuring yourself out phase.

Hey so if you post about hating humans constantly I don't welcome you here on my blogs. I don't care who you are or even if you are a mutual. Talking about this shit is going to get you nowhere. No I don't care why you post these things. I have been traumatized by humans but you don't see me constantly wanting to kill them or maim them.

beastcritters we have GOT to stop posting unrelated things in the nonhuman rags

[irritatedandroid]

I've made a few posts talking about things in the nonhuman and alterhuman communities recently, mostly just brief looks into them, so I thought I would share this one.

The info may not be all that much, and could easily be expanded upon, but I did my best for a simple bit of info for certain things.

All pictures have ALT text included, but I shall post the text also here, under a cut, cause it's a bit long, lol

Nonhuman as an identity: To identify as not human either fully or partially. (hate/trolls will be reported and deleted)

Reminder: These are all personal identities and why someone identifies as nonhuman and what term someone decides to use for themself is exclusively their business. In the end it is what makes the most sense to the individual and not up to others. Now, onto some of the communities that are included under the nonhuman identity:

Otherkin: from the term "otherkind" - an identity which typically encompasses being wholly or partially a nonhuman entity. Usually understood to cover those who identify as mythical creatures and other fantastical things. Also covers those that fall outside of beings and creatures.

Examples of non-being or creature based identities: Conceptkin: an identity where one identifies as a concept such as the concept of night or fire. Objectkin: and identity where one identifies as an object. Songkin: an identity where one identifies as a song.

Examples of being and creature based identities: Therianthropy: usually shortened to therian - where one identifies AS a nonhuman animal. Some will say that this term refers to only earthen animals, living or extinct, but it has never only encompassed earthly animals. The community's language came from those who identify as werecreatures. Theriomythic: an alternate identity term for one who identifies in some intrinsic was as a mythical creature. Paleotherian: an identity term for one who identifies as a now extinct earthly animal, like a dinosaur or mammoth.

Cladotherian or Cladokin: an identity term for one who does not identify as a distinct species, but a broader identity encompassing an entire genus or larger grouping. Cladomythic: an identity term for one who identifies as a group (clade) of animalistic mythical creatures.

Fictionkin: an identity term that covers all things fictional. For those who identify as something fictional like characters, animals, species, objects, etc. These can be from books, shows, video games, etc, but not always! Original fictional characters and such are also possible.

There are many other identities that fall under the nonhuman umbrella which is why it's important to do your own research to figure out if a certain term works for you. All these identities share the trait of being involuntary. You cannot choose to be therian, otherkin, or the other mentioned identities.

While the already mentioned identities are involuntary, there are some identities that fall under being voluntary. Otherlink: an identity where one voluntarily identifies as nonhuman. Copinglink: an identity where one voluntarily identifies as nonhuman to copes with things such as trauma, stress, etc.

A lot of people may also say that it is impossible to become a therian, otherkin, etc. While the identity is involuntary, things like trauma and neurodivergence can cause an individual to take on a nonhuman identity when they had not had one previously.

Most will usually see people explain that these identities are spiritual or psychological, but these are only some of the ways that individuals may experience them. Some other experiences of nonhumanity: Symbolic Metaphorical Ancestral Physical (Yes this is an actual reason for some and they are just as much a part of the community as anyone else. Physical and Ancestral nonhumans are part of the community's history and some of its founders.)

For those looking for more information, and community places, here are some places to check out! Werelist Nonhuman National Park Alterhuman Archive The Chimera's Library. The above are forums and archives of information on the community. Most archived information is thanks to who-is-page, liongoatsnake and frameacloud on tumblr.

While this is a brief look into the nonhuman identity that I could share, I do hope it has been helpful in some way. Remember to be true to yourself, and don't let anyone tell you how to feel. Ignore, report, delete and block the haters!

Yeen out~
