#alterhuman identity

[matrix-pawz]

Tbh, my alter humanity is just like

"ooh, yay! I'm a therian!"

And then 2 seconds later-

(neither pic is mine)

[puddin-dear]

Therians who mock Therians (young or old) for wearing gear are stupid. I saw a post of an adult Therian mocking two CHILDREN (aprox 11-12) for wearing tails and masks.

The Therian community is already hated enough, for someone to think they are better than another Therian for expressing their Therianthropy differently is moronic.

They also remarked them being “tiktok” therians and “fake” for it. Seriously what the fuck. People like this bristle my fur so much, just no. No.

This goes out to all the Newly awakens. If you wear gear, you are no less or more than a Therian who doesn’t. That goes for the opposite as well. Express your identity however you wish, stay safe out there <3

I love alterhuman communities, I can say my craziest feelings and they'll understand.

"Sometimes I feel like I'm meant to be buried underground, but it's terrifying to even think about it"

Some random cat demon undead creature: "Haha, same."

[saltyseklie]

No matter how funky your identity may be, you don't owe anyone an explanation for it. The only one who needs to understand it is you. And even then, you don't need to fully understand your own identity.

That being said I really want to try and explain my identity, simply just to see how I would put such a thing into words- or maybe even pictures. I think it could be fun!!! So later I'm going to try and do that, and if no one else understands what I mean, oh well. I think it will help me better understand what I mean.

CALLING ALL ALTERHUMAN UNDERTALE FANS!

I know how hard it is to find other alterhumans in this fandom, which is why I’m starting a discord server with my friend @lazy-shapeshiofter for those in the Undertale fandom who are alterhuman too!

It’s gonna be a safe space to hang out and share our interests! Can’t wait to see you there! ^^

[amr-alterhuman]

Interact if you have a cat or cat hybrid fursona or theriotype and you were a Warrior Cats kid like me.

[jellied-apples]

Werewolf or similar/adjacent nonhumans! Talk to me! I need more people to message/interact with!

TIPS FOR ALTERHUMANS WITH A SCHOOL UNIFORM / WHO WANNA BE SUBTLE:

- Make mini yarn tail keycains to hang on your bag

Teachers don't tend to care what kind of keycains you have as long as they aren't too big, and unless it's being worn like one, most people won't realise it's a tail. Of course it isn't ideal, but it's better than nothing.

- Draw the theta delta (therian symbol) on your pencil case/stationary

You could get into trouble for having something drawn on your hand/arm, so drawing it on your pencil case/stationary is the next best option. It still serves the same purpose of showing any other alterhumans that you are one too, but won't get you in trouble.

Of course this won't be for everyone, but if you are fine with your stationary having things drawn on then maybe try this.

- Decorate your bag with therian keycains/keychains that relate to your therio/kintype

This is similar to the first one. If you have any jewlery, it will probably be taken away, so you can't wear necklaces or bracelets with the theta delta or your therio/kintype on, but as I said before teachers don't care too much about keychains.

You might even be able to use jewlery as a keychain if you are able to take the charm off and put it on a clip (only do this if you are sure it will work - if you break your jewlery doing this then don't blame me).

- Wear a hat with ears on

There is a chance some teachers will confiscate your ears if you try to wear them at school, but as long as you aren't inside they won't take away your hat. It's pretty easy to find sun hats or wooly hats with animal (mostly cat) ears on.

The main problem with this is that people might be mean about it, but you can use the excuse that non-alterhumans wear animal hats all the time (this might not always work so be careful).

You could also wear headphones on the bus/in IT lessons that have ears on, but some teachers might not allow it.

Some coats also have ears on the hood.

- Put therian pins/pins of your therio/kintype on your bag

Very similar to the keychain one, you will most likely get into trouble for wearing pins on your clothing, but your bag is fine.

- Make the most of non uniform days

As long as you follow the non uniform dress code, you can pretty much wear all the gear you want. World book day is especially good for this, as any gear you wear won't be questioned as much. Just make sure you have a good explanation ready if anyone asks who you are dressed as.

Some of my favorites are:

"they're from [made up book], you probably haven't heard of it"

"I'm [animal character] as a human"

"I don't know, I panicked and just grabbed some random stuff from [younger sibling]'s room"

The main thing to be aware of is that people will probably still make fun of you if you wear a tail or ears, regardless of any excuses you give, but unless they actually find out about your alterhumanity it will probably die down over time.

- Wear gloves when you're outside

Fluffy gloves are the best subtle paws, as they feel just like paws and no one will ever question them (unless it's summer). You could even get paw print gloves, but they might be questioned.

That's all the ideas I have, feel free to reblog and add more.

Go to the forest to make quads and see other animals 🥰🐾

[paxthepuppycat]

I miss…

my flock

my mate

my kits

my home

my paws

my fur

my bed

my toys

my life

my body

my fangs

my claws

my den

I miss everything about my past life, about my mental life as well, but this doesn’t make me a “fake” Alterhuman, this doesn’t make me dread my human life, it makes me want to live longer in this body.

[puddin-dear]

This is your daily reminder to live your critter life however you want to.

Wanna go to the store wearing a tail? Do it! I’ve done it myself. The most you’ll get is the OCCASIONAL weird look and/or giggle.

Wanna do quadrobics at your local park? Go for it! Its super fun! You may even meet some other Alterhumans.

Hell do some vocals in public! You might get a compliment or two.

At the end of the day, you’re only going to live this exact life once, its better you spend it being as weird, yet happy, as you wanna, rather than being all sad over trying to fit in.

Anyways I hope every critter who reads this has the most amazing day ya could possibly have <3

mwa! 💚

An orthohuman is one who doesn't have any identity that goes beyond what is considered traditionally human. Fits all of the following:

One feels connected to and represented by a human body

One is a singular being in a body and has been there since birth

One identifies as human without a supernatural basis

One's personal subcultures do not take greater importance over their identification as human

It's always so funny to me how after a year of feeling like i was literally dead, i found out about Otherkinity. I had no idea what it was before and it was an instant click!

I think the idea that you were born a therian is a limiting theory. I know you cannot choose to be a therian. From psychological theories, you may have developed your therianthropy through childhood based on animals that are/were in your area, animals you liked growing up, or even your own pets and that was after your birth & due to environmental factors.

An Introduction..

You can call me Isayah, being what I’m used to online!

I use the terms:

-Physically nonhuman

-Nonhuman

-Alterhuman

-Lycanthrope/werewolf

I’m an adult, and don’t mind anyone of any ages interacting as this blog will be safe for work, however I may repost images or artwork in future containing mild gore. My pronouns are he/him and I suffer from a few disorders, I won’t type about them too openly but please be patient occasionally. I’d love for other nonhumans to interact, whether physically nonhuman or otherkin/therian, I’m always happy to receive messages and asks!

I’m also a fairly classic werewolf, with the moon being involved alongside more. I’m happy to talk about this to open people, otherwise just leave me be!
