Broke: tell my parents I’m a medieval goose shapeshifter eternally bound to tormenting the English monarchy

Woke: talk about geese and medieval Europe 24/7, send cryptic messages in Shakespearean into the family group chat and replace common words such as hello with honk so that family members now communicate with me through goose sounds as a “joke” without realising I have tricked them into supporting my identity. Honk honk you hath been fooled

[professional-jaywalker]

It's kind of interesting to start hitting a time in my life where... i've kind of said most things about my identity at least once, somewhere. Not that i don't have things left to write, reword, say in better prose, or again because the first time was a passing thought in a chat with no archive.

But i'm not anymore, in the phase of joining the community, and rediscovering my every angles and needing to word it. It's mundane now, when I feel something bird-like. It's not a "ah, so that's what it was all along!", it's just me. It's a double edge, because I then sometimes forget how complex that web of experience is.

Today was mundane. I was just me, just a bird. Nothing much to say, from my perspective.

Today, I woke up later than usual. The sun was already up. I'm not used to this, as I usually wake and sleep with the sun, but i stayed up later than usual yesterday. Diurnal, like roadrunners.

Then I was quite pleased to see it was actually quite sunny. I wanted to sunbath, so i took out my bearded dragon in the garden, and sunbathed with her. She took on darker spots to soak up the sun, i wore a black shirt to mimic the patches of skin roadrunners show to do the same.

In the afternoon, I helped my family clean up my grandfather's house. I sent a message to another bird, inquiring whether she, an owl, would be interested in one of my late grandmother's owl statue collection.

I remarked how strange it felt for my neck to not be able to look upward how i wanted to. How bizarre the human activity of cleaning up spider webs felt, my arms-wings-talons straining to reach the roof.

Tonight i'm eating sushi. The raw fish always feel particularly birdy to me, I think it's the sensation of it. If I didn't stop my bird side, I'd want to swallow it whole, as birds do.

It's all so mundane. it doesn't even register as a particularly bird like day to me. I didn't do anything that made me shifty, that brought out the roadrunner in a way that supersedes the human. So many things that I just forget to mention, after a while. Obvious to me and only me.

Things I do that link both to my alterhumanity and my autism:

🐦‍⬛ Collecting stuff (dice, lps, plushies, notebooks, stickers)

🐶 Shake my feet to wag my tail

🐶 Blep

🐶 Lovingly biting (lightly)

👽 Pretend I'm normal and human (doing so less & less tho! /pos)

👽 Using what I know in psychology and about the person I'm talking to to navigate social situations

🐶🦜 Shake shake shake

🦜🐦‍⬛👽 Mimicking sounds and phrases

🐶🦜🐦‍⬛ Communicate with little sounds

birdkin (and also catkin) culture is wanting to constantly be in the Highest Place physically possible

and then being sad cuz ur too unfit to climb most things </3

[wildcatpaws]

sad to think of how many alterhumans & nonhumans miss/long for their community back.

ants, bees, wasps & termites missing their colonies

canines that miss their packs

horses, deer, elephants, bison and more missing their herds

feral cats that miss their communities

parrots, pigeons, robins, flamingos, geese and more that miss their flocks

dolphins, whales, and numerous amounts of fish that are missing their pods and schools

dragons and cavemen that miss their tribes

I hope you all find that missing community in this life. You're not alone; especially if it affects you very strongly. I'm with you.

sorry to anyone i have missed lmk and i can add you if you would like

Some ideas for some sneaky otherkin gear, I suppose?

So, multiple eyes first! Glasses with more than two lenses and eye themed jewelry!

And wings!! Wing themed glasses and puffy/flared sleeves!!

I know it's only two things, but when I come up with more ideas, I'll reblog this with the updates or something, lol! Hopes this helps!!

(Also, as a side note, there is a thing called hoof shoes, for all you horses or unicorns or pegasus ((idk if I spelled that right)) or who/whatever else wants to look them up!)

Nonhuman Tips!

Part 2: Wing/Feather Dysphoria

Images 1 and 2: Winged backpacks! Weight of wings, and looks like wings in your shadow, buy online, or in stores

Images 3 and 4: Rain Coat. This rain coat is worn in a way to make your arms feel as if you have feather! I have something like this and it’s so great, especially when I’m shifting

Images 5 and 6: Boho style hair clips. These clips give you fashion to match your feather kin! They come in many colors and some are even hair ties!

To all nonhumans, I do adore thee. Small little dogs, great ferocious creatures, strange cryptids, wolves that swim and run, insects and all there goings, flying (and non flying) birds, felines, equines, assortments of objects, dragons, angels, sea creatures, demons, vampires and gods, beautiful and strange plants, computers, robots, all of you really!!

I love thee nonhumans with disabilities, nonhumans who don’t use gear, who can’t or don’t do quadrobics.

Recovering or recovered zoophiles, nonhumans who are also furries, young nonhumans, adult nonhumans, queer nonhumans, physical nonhumans, nonhumans with delusions. I love all thee neurodivergent and not nonhumans, nonhumans with “gross” urges, nonhumans who experience their nonhumanity in a way that is less common. Nonhumans who feel connection to humanity, nonhumans who love humans and nonhumans who don’t.

Domesticated animals, wild animals, nonhumans who aren’t animals at all. Nonhumans with many kin types, nonhumans with few. Nonhumans with common kin types, nonhumans with uncommon kin types. Newly awakened nonhumans, those who have known their identify for a while and those who are still not entirely sure.

I do love all of thee dearly. I do implore thee to do the same to thineself and the others of thine community. I will say it over and over again, I do truly love thee.
