DING DING DING DING‼️

Reminder!:

Not all Alterhumans are nonhuman

Not all Alterhumans are fully nonhuman

Some Alterhumans are partially nonhuman

Some Alterhumans are human

Otherheartedness is a deep rooted identity, just as otherkinity is

Otherlinks are valid

P-shifters, biological Therians and delusional Therians are valid

Therianthropy is the experience of identifying as an animal in ANY way

Alterhumanity is an umbrella term for all beings who aren't fully human in any way

Alterhumanity isn't just Therians, otherkins and otherhearteds

Therianthropy is not masks and tails and quadrobics

Edit: [the label otherpaw isn't actually harmful]

Quadrobics does not make you a therian

Some nonhumans don't like the label therian

Physical Therians and biological Therians do not make the community look bad

Alot 'therians' on yt and TikTok are just misinformed kids who do not deserve hate for a mistake

YOUR EXPERIENCE IS VALID‼️

[spectralmindset]

Btw therians are cool and valid

Btw copinglinks, funlinks and any other otherlinks are cool and valid

Btw physical alterhumans are cool and valid

Btw spiritual alterhumans are cool and valid

Btw psychological alterhumans are cool and valid

Btw delusional alterhumans are cool and valid

Btw fictionkins are cool and valid

Btw objectkins, plantkins and other “unusual” kins are cool and valid

Btw wolfkins, foxkins and other “common” kins are cool and valid

Btw all alterhumans are cool and valid

Btw you’re cool and valid

HELLO OTHERKIN/THERIANS/ALTERHUMANS/NONHUMANS/OTHERLINKERS/OTHERPAW!! DO YOU WANT TO BUY AN ETHICAL TAIL BUT DON'T KNOW WHERE? IM HERE TO GIVE YOU TIPS!

Okay I'll stop talking in caps now, but here you have my tail guide for any and all people who just want a tail!

Cruel fur farms treat their animals badly, and it's best to avoid them. Here are some tips on how to spot cruel farms from the ethically sourced ones! (Most tips from here!)

Disclaimer: I would only be wary of items if they show more than 2 of these signs. Just do research before you buy!

Signs that indicate a cruel source:

- Sold/Sourced from Asia (Asia has bad animal cruelty laws, here's a list per country on how good their animal rights are)

- From Wish, AliExpress, Amazon, Temu or EBay (Even the 'faux fur' ones can be real and cruel)

- If they use stock photos

- Asian lobster clams (This does not always indicate cruelty)

- If they look thin, small, and generally unhealthy

- Any usage of 'mink farms' in desc.

- If they are bleached or colored

- If the price is low (Under 20-25)

- No info about source (Always ask the seller if you're not sure)

Signs that indicate ethical source:

- Scraps that were being thrown away otherwise (Should be in item description or FAQ)

- Lived long and happy lives (Item description or FAQ)

- Thick, healthy tails

- Population control/Legal hunters (With a permit)

Now I'll show a few Etsy shops I've confirmed to be Ethically sourced!

[randompolykin]

you know what? I'm gonna ignore my anxiety and post this

been procrastinating making this but "here goes nothing" as they say for some reason

worried this is obvious, or everyone has been subconsciously meaning what I fear they mean

But, it's true so...

Here's to the otherlinkers

Not just the copinglinkers

But the funlinkers

The aeslinkers

The supportlinkers

The otherlinkers who are in-between those labels

The otherlinkers who feel none of those labels can describe why they link/they link for another reason

To ALL the otherlinkers

It seems like (this could just be me, idk) in a lot positivity posts saying that otherlinkers are valid and no lesser then therians, otherkins and fictionkins, there is a switch between using the term copinglink and otherlink, as if they are synonyms. But they aren't. One is a subset of the other, which includes alot more in it's definition. If you only mean copinglink, and are excluding the rest of us linkers, then say so. And if you aren't, then be a bit more careful on your wording, please. I am losing it slightly with this, my anxious brain can't handle the fact I have no idea over where everyone stands on this, yet I want to know

Otherlinkers are extremely valid and awesome, and are no less then voluntary identities. No matter why they link, only the linker gets to decide if they are any less then, with there link types, just how polykins can have kintypes that are more important to them than others, etc.

Nonhumans and the Misinformation of the Internet

(UPDATED PARTS IN GREEN)

I have been seeing more and more posts of people complaining about misinformation surrounding Nonhumanity, so I decided to throw together this post to clear the air.

I use “entity” to refer to the things Nonhumans identify as (EX: animals, fictional characters, concepts, etc…)

Here are the some misconceptions about the Nonhuman community...

1. “We know we’re human.”/“We don't identify as animals.”/“We don’t identify as animals, we just have animal souls.”

This ignores the existence of Physical Nonhumans, which are individuals who physically identify as a nonhuman entity. In this case, what someone may be thinking of is Otherheartedness, where someone strongly identifies with a nonhuman entity instead of as one. Otherhearted individuals can experience many of the same things Physical Nonhumans do, like shifts, or species dysphoria. Nonhumans are not clinical lycanthropes, or people who think they can transform or have transformed into animals.

2. “All Therians and Otherkin had past lives as their Theriotypes and Kintypes.”

You do not need to have a past life as an animal to be a Therian or Otherkin. Although I have seen this be disproven many times before, I still see people working under the assumption that all Therians and Otherkin had past lives as their theriotypes and kintypes, which is untrue.

3. “Therians and Furries use litter boxes in school.”

This rumor is untrue and was created by right-wing individuals to disenfranchise Transgender people. Furries and Therians ended up getting roped up in this false rumor.

4. “Theriantropy is a spiritual belief.”

Not everyone has spiritual beliefs connected to their Nonhumanity. “Therian” or any other related label are not inherently spiritual identities, but they can be for some people.

5. “Kinning is just for fun, if you take it seriously you need mental help.”

Physical Otherkinity is not a mental illness or disorder because it does not significantly negatively impact people’s lives. “Kinning for fun” is a fandom activity where people who feel connected to a certain fictional character and identify as it. It can also be linking as a funlink.

6. “Nonhumans are mentally ill.”

Nonhumanity is not a mental illness because, again, it does not significantly negatively impact people’s lives.

7. “Nonhumans are just kids dressing up and doing quads.”

Nonhumanity is far more complicated than a simple game of pretend played out by children. To dumb us down to what little content you see of us on platforms like TikTok and YouTube shorts is small-minded. You don’t have to have gear (masks, tails, ears, etc…) or do quads all the time to be nonhuman. It’s about how you feel inside. Many adults are Nonhuman too, sure, it’s less common to see on the internet, but that doesn’t mean they don’t exist.

!!!Please note that some misinformation-spreaders are underage (less than 13) or may have a mental disability or illness. Please approach these people with kind firmness. If they react negatively, that’s their problem!!!

Kin For Fun ≠ Funlinker

Kin For Fun ≠ having fun being kin/alterhuman etc

Kin For Fun ≠ Alterhuman (usually)

It's fine to create your own altH identity because you thought it would be fun to be x thing. It's ok to have fun being kin. The issue with KFF isn't the fun part, it's the deciding that kin isn't really being that thing, it's just something you say for fun when you really relate to a character - pretty much the opposite of the actual meaning.

I love and support having fun with your identity and funlinkers forever 🌞

[itsak9catastrophe]

If I see one more therian trying to invalidate Copinglinks, Funlinks and Otherlinks and say that they don't exist. I might scream .

"what do you use to make moodboards?" i use canva with a 3×3 preset, and pinterest for the pictures i use!

"do you do fictionkin moodboards?" yes, i do! any alterhuman identity can request :)

"where did you get the theme for my moodboard?" most often, if not given a theme in the request, ill either use the habitat of the animal or (if possible) look on your blog to find an aesthetic you like!

"can/will you do blood/possibly disturbing content?" yes! as long as it's not explicit, sexual, or illegal, im fine with using things like blood, meat, liminal spaces, etc in my moodboards. i will put those underneath a warning though, for others that may not be comfy!

"do you do ockin/questioning kin/fictionkin/songkin/etc?"

absolutely. no one is excluded! as long as in comfortable making the board, there's no problem.

more answers will be added as i receive questions :3

[mistlost]

I made an Alternative Ockin Flag based on the one I just reblogged

So pretty I like it

First time doing IDs for flags so Idk if I’ll do it wrong

[ID: (up to down) stripe one is pastel red, stripe two is pastel orange, stripe three is pastel yellow, stripe four is pastel green, stripe five is pastel blue, stripe six is pastel purple. In the middle, there is a black  circle, in which there lies a white, open half circle on the left, somewhat like the letter C, and a white, half otherkin symbol on the right.]

Here’s the Inspiration (I don't know who created it, if someone knows that would be helpful)

That one is not mine, the pastel one is the one I made

Definition:

Ockin is when your kintype is an oc. Oc can stand for Original Character, Original Creature, Original Concept, Original Classification, Original Component, etc. It is not limited to original character in this context. This is not a choice, but rather it is either developed or you’re born with it. Ockin falls under fictionkin and can be called such. 

Differently but similar, oclink is the same but is a choice. Oclink falls under fictionlink.

Once again, THIS is the flag I made

I’m unsure where the idea of the black circle and white open semicircle came from, but my own interpretation is that the black circle is an “o” and the white is a “c”, representing the word “oc”

[blu3b3rrynightmar3]

ok so I am aware that technically I “can’t physically shift” or whatever, but then why does it feel like I can???

I was just laying dramatically in the grass as one does [idk probably a cameo or kinda felt like a queen of hearts shift but who knows] and then I sat up and the world looked different…

like I was looking through someone or something else’s eyes

it felt like I was actually not in a human body [I usually accept that I have a human body, it aligns with my beliefs so eh]

and when I had that shift walking through the rain that I posted on here

those all *felt* like physically shifting but like how???

guys pls help or comment something down below if you can help or relate [not forcing obvi]

That’s all for now, buh-bye fellow confused friends/beings/entities/things/whatever love yall

[moldbugg]

Fox ears!! I made it myself!! AAAAA

[sorensolsikke]

this is my favourite moodboard from this pack. maybe because this vibe hits hard lately. i very much look like that dark owl in the first row btw

previous (golden retriever hearttype) / next (cheetah comfortlink)

[furries-with-nonhumanity]

Edit: I have realized that Alterhuman is not synonymous to Nonhuman, and that Alterhuman can better encompass ‘kins, ‘hearts and ‘linkers. Thank you to @stormy-talks for telling me this in the comments!

Remember, an umbrella term is a term used to cover many different labels or terms.
