You've been turned into an animal

Spin the wheel to find out which

[therian-and-nonhuman-polls]

Do you hold stuff with your feet or mouth often?

Yes, alterhuman

No, alterhuman

Yes, human

No, human

Other / See results

please tweak it if you have better wording!

If you're both alterhuman and human pick whichever category you feel fits you best.

some of the polls you post in the holothere tag are actually alienating to holotheres, like questions starting with "if you physically were" - holotheres already are and that's kind of the point, regardless of how they look or why. it might be better not to tag those sort of questions with holothere

sorry about that, I tend to just tag them all with holothere for better reach. I’ll keep this in mind

[therian-and-nonhuman-polls]

Forgive me if this has been asked before, but

Do you have a kinsona, and how well does it represent you?

Yes, and it represents me well

Yes, and it represents me close enough

Yes, but it doesn't represent me much, or at all

No, but I think I could make one that represents me well

No, but I think I could make one that represents me close enough

No, and I don't think I could make one that represents me much or at all

[therian-and-nonhuman-polls]

Therians, if you were bodily your kintype, would you want to live in a zoo?

Yes, absolutely

Yeah, probably

Not sure

Probably not

No, definitely not

My kintype is a pet or other animal that wouldn't go in a zoo

I don't have any "animalistic" kintypes

[therian-and-nonhuman-polls]

Would you lot be interested in a poll blog similar in style to @/aretheyqueer & @/are-they-a-faggot with submitted polls on whether a character is a therian?

Yes, I’d love it & would probably submit something!

Yes, but I probably wouldn’t submit anything

Yes, but idk if i’d submit anything

Yes, but I’d be cautious about it

I’m completely indifferent

Makes no difference to me, I might submit something

Makes no difference to me, I probably wouldn’t submit anything

Makes no difference to me, idk if I’d submit anything either way

Makes no difference to me, but be cautious

No, because I don’t trust people to be normal about it

No, because I don’t like character polls

Endless nuance option

Personally I’d find that really fun lol -Pine

I'm curious how our alienkin community matches up with humans' depictions of aliens in media (which tends to lean very human-like).

Aliens, how human-like are you?

-Timelord style (Looks exactly human, only alien internally)

-Startrek style (Human-like with minor differences)

-Humanoid (Bipedal, roughly human shaped but obviously not human)

-Completely inhuman

-Shapeshifter, asking what I look like is meaningless

-Something nuanced I didn't think of

-Not alienkin

Hey, one of the anons who sent the label polls here. Don't worry, I AM the kin type I asked about. I'm just new to the otherkin community and was wondering where I would best fit in with my weird hybrid kind type. No gatekeeping intended, sorry for the confusion!

Don't worry, it's ok! Use whatever label you feel most comfortable in, whether that be therian, otherkin, alterhuman, or something else, don't let strangers on the internet dictate what you call yourself and if someone has a problem with how you label yourself then that's their problem.

[therian-and-nonhuman-polls]

we've been getting a few asks recently that are like "what term (therian, otherkin, etc) do you think would be best for xyz kin?" and we aren't posting them because that's entirely up to that person. We aren't going to dictate labels and you shouldn't either, let people call themselves what they want to call themselves

For nonhumans who experience species dysphoria, how often does it move you to tears? (Feel free to elaborate in the comments or tags)

1. Never

2. Only once

3. Very rarely, handful of times in my life

4. Rarely, about once a year

5. Ocassionally, every few months or so

6. Fairly frequently, about monthly

7. Frequently, multiple times a month

8. Every time I feel dysphoric, however often that is

9. Most days

10. I don't experience species dysphoria/show results/unsure

If you get phantom limbs, what size are they on your body?

they are proportional to work on a human body (ex: wings that could make a human fly)

they are size accurate to my kintypes proportions

they are smaller then my kintypes proportions

they are bigger than my kintypes proportions but not functional on human body

a mix/other

I don't get phantom limbs

[therian-and-nonhuman-polls]

Polykin, are you plural, and how does that relate?

I'm polykin because my alters are different 'types, but only one 'type per alter.

I'm polykin because one or more alters are polykin/have multiple 'types.

Both of the above, some alters are monokin and some are polykin.

Other answer / It's complicated (please elaborate! I'm curious.)

I'm polykin but not plural, just one person with multiple kintypes.

I'm not a polykin / see results

(I apologize if any of this language is rude or inaccurate, I'm a singlet so I'm not completely sure what terminology is best! Also I abbreviated kintype to 'type to save space in case the options didn't fit in the poll.)

species who cannot physically taste capsaicin (the chemical found in things like hot peppers that makes them spicy) [species example, birds are not effected by capsaicin], in your current body, do you have a higher spice tolerance?

- my species is unaffected by capsaicin and my spice tolerance is high

- my species is unaffected and my tolerance is low

- my species is affected and my tolerance is high

- my species is affected and my tolerance is low

- nuance / bald / vanilla extract

sorry if this is worded weirdly, pls feel free to adjust!

let’s say you could shapeshift physically between a human form and your ’type(s). What would you want it to look like? None of these transformations will hurt, nor will they have long-lasting negative consequences on your physical or mental health. They do not take energy to perform.

Werewolf-like

Animorphs

Magical Girl Transformation

Old Gacha life mini movie teleportation effect

Minecraft shapeshifting mod transformation

Instantaneous- like switching characters in a rp game

A veil or mist forms around you, and when it clears you’ve changed

Different answers for different ‘types

For those of you who experience phantom wings, where on your body to they appear?:

My wings form on my arms, meaning they replace them entirely.

My wings form on my upper to mid back, somewhere from my shoulder blades to the end of my rib cage.

My wings form on my lower back, somewhere from the small of my back to my hips.

I have multiple sets of wings, or multiple winged kintypes, so I experience multiple of these.

I have one set of wings and one winged kintype but it fluctuates between one or more of the above, depending on the day.

My wings do not attach to my body, they exist in some way parallel to it (possibly in one the the areas above)

A different, more nuanced answer (that I might put in the tags or comments?)

I do not experience phantom wings/results

*I have multiple sets of wings, or multiple winged kintypes, so I experience multiple of these.

**I have one set of wings and one winged kintype but it fluctuates between one or more of the above, depending on the day.

***My wings do not attach to my body, they exist in some way parallel to it (possibly in one the the areas above)
