im not gonna call my body a "human body". i'm a wolf, so my body is a wolf's body.

in the same way that i'm not a man in a woman's body. i'm a man and it's my body so it's a man's body.

snorting and snuffling while play wrestling my dog to let her know im just playing (fun fact thats what dogs do when they play fight to tell the other dog that theyre just playing)

when we chase each other around the house i feel like she sees me as more of another dog than a human and it makes me :))

shoutout to those of us with uncommon as fuck alterhuman types. no shame to the hundreds of thousands of wolves, vampires, and cats but i have never met another slime person like me and it kind of sucks

same with fictionkin friendships.

i'm 000 druid monkey kin and one of the admins in my bloons server is 005 wizard monkey kin

this is pretty much what it looks like whenever we talk in the server (drew this a while back bc we were both thinking abt this exact thing):

silly little duid dude and the prince of darkness himself.

Therian friendships will have you like this

[thorn-the-silly-druid]

i started being openly a therian on my bloons TD (tower defense game with anthro monkeys, so peripherally related to furries) server once a friend accidentally found this account and reassured me that it was fine and i shouldnt be ashamed. then several other people started being openly kin as well, presumably the fact that the owner was openly druid monkey fictionkin made them feel more safe. we have 3 bloons fictionkins here and a couple other miscellaneous alterhumans. and no one has ever been judgmental or weird about it. now it's bloons TD ft several therians. run by a druid/mermonkey/wolf thing who is no longer scared of people finding this account. i'm so glad i stopped being scared.

this is your sign to be more open about your otherkinity. anyone who judges or makes fun of you isn't worth your time.

Once again I mentioned nonhumanity on a completely unrelated Discord (this one isn't even furry so it's not even adjacent to nonhumanity in any way!) and several people chimed in out of nowhere to say, "Oh yeah, me too." None of them at all in any kind of therian/otherkin/alterhuman/nonhuman communities or anything, just people that would clock as normies about it, except nope they're not.

At this point I'm convinced the number of nonhumans outside the nonhuman communities is several orders of magnitude larger than the number of people inside and the most common way to experience it is totally casually, like an eye color. It's just another funny little thing about you, no big deal. A lot of them seem to feel that this approach makes them 'not really count' but nothing could be further from the truth. If casual nonhumanity is actually the norm like I'm starting to think, being super duper serial about it would make someone Nonhumans Georg, who spends 10000 hours a day dwelling on their identity and also they'd be an outlier who should therefore not be counted.

Except, obviously everyone counts if they say they do. But I think a lot more people could say they do without even breaking a sweat, if they wanted to.

this community (and the agere community) really is just packed full of pointless discourse, exclusionism, and general bullshit

sorry to hear that OP, you're not lying just because you don't immediately understand every single thing about yourself right away ._.

Normalize not witch hunting someone for getting their identity wrong..? I thought i had a certain theriotype but ended up being wrong, and then once happily announcing i found its actual label i was accused of lying and then kicked for lying...??????

I also recently got banned for my theriotypes not both being spiritual bc "they cant differ"

seems the community is doing GREAT.../sarc

self indulgent mermonkey moodboard

i love being a silly little sea creature :>

[thorn-the-silly-druid]

im getting mermonkey shifts now. great sun god not another kintype /lh

theres smth about top path mermonkey. imagining myself as one of them gave me what i thought was gender euphoria at first but ermm there is definitely a lot of species euphoria in there too

i want to be a little abyss creature :3 swimming around in the depths of the sea and occasionally coming up to bother sailors. i wanna become a local cryptid in a seaside town. i wanna feel the salty sea spray in my fur and tear into a fish with my sharp little fangs

im questioning either 2-0-2 or 3-0-2?? im definitely supposed to have the cool black scleras that echosense mermonkes have

!!!! me !!!!!!!!!

When I was 9 I wrote "bra" in Scribblenauts and then put it on my character and played for a bit with it on and then the shame hit so I deleted my save and cried and prayed to Jesus apologizing for putting a bra on my Scribblenauts character

[thorn-the-silly-druid]

yeah i could use some potato luck right now

[thorn-the-silly-druid]

A tip for excellent writing I just learned: Don't introduce a character with their Dramatic Backstory. It makes readers go "oh alright this is the Dramatic Background Story Character" and establishes a baseline of Tragic, either for the story as a whole or this character in particular. With no contrast of light and dark, pure darkness isn't impactful, it just looks like the absence of anything to look at.

If you really want someone's dramatic backstory to hit the audience like a gut punch, let them get to know the character first. That way the dark backstory doesn't come off as a description of who they are, but an explanation to why they are the way they are. Bonus points for connecting it to something that's already been established as a part of the character - what a devastating blow to suddenly put together that hold on, that funny quirky thing that they always do is a fucking trauma response.

one of my favorite sensations is when you can feel the ocean nearby without seeing it
