The line between "I want to be them" and "I want to be with them" is very thin. Seeing too many sexy pictures of XYZ character will make me be said character...

Dakotaraptor.

I am a dromaeosaurd, but I don't know the species. Over the years, I have questioned so, so many but none have ever been the right one. Although, one has stuck out to me. Dakotaraptor Steni.

I first learnt about dakotaraptor back in 2023, when it wasn't a controversial species. I identified as one for a good while until I realised it didn't quite fit. But looking into my raptorness now, i realise I might actually be two dromaeosaurids. Dakotaraptor, and something else. Writing this makes me feel right. Saying I am a dakotaraptor. All the memories I have of being in the hell creek, but not as a triceratops, feel so real. But Dakotaraptor is a controversial species. Whether it is a chimaera or not is debated amongst palaeontology.

I really want to say I am a Dakotaraptor, say I have finally discovered this again. But I am scared Dakotaraptor will be classified as a chimaera and i will have to chip away at that part of myself again.

One of the nice things about living in human society is that you have access to medical procedures and medicine. A lot of things that are easily fixable just by going to a doctor are literally fatal to wild creatures. Like broken bones, illnesses, infections, and teeth problems.

I wonder if last night's ExperienceTM is going to turn out to be a facet (new guy dropped?) or whether it's going on the list of one-time "I am X character" feelings.

The new guy that might have dropped is some kind of knight type, but I'm not really sure if it's any existing character or one of my ocs. He said he likes fighting with swords and jousting. He also seems to be a bit elitist, but I don't think he's eeeeeevil (i.e. he's not Aerion Targaryen).

(Probable) plegg culture is "...are kintypes not supposed to have names and pronouns and opinions of their own and only feel like Literally Me 10% of the time and Me But Way To The Left the other 90%?"

Here’s some positivity for systems whose plurality is influenced by their own creative works!

Plurality is such a vast, diverse, and uniquely individual experience. No two systems are exactly alike, and all systems can be influenced by a wide variety of different things! This post goes out to the systems and headmates whose creative works have played or currently play a role in their plurality!

📝 Shoutout to systems who are mostly made up of OCtives or fictives from their own system’s creative projects!

🪐 Shoutout to systems with immense headspaces or inner worlds filled with cultures, traditions, and societies from their own creations!

💭 Shoutout to systems who became plural solely due to their own creative endeavors!

🌍 Shoutout to systems whose characters became walk-ins or developed their own sentience over time!

📝 Shoutout to headmates who have complicated relationships with those in their system who created the work they are sourced from!

🪐 Shoutout to headmates who identify heavily with a culture, tradition, nationality, or other identity from their system’s creative works!

💭 Shoutout to systems who have worked together or collaborated on their creative projects and their system/plurality as a result!

🌍 Shoutout to systems who have created their own language or coined their own terms to describe how their works have affected their plurality!

📝 Shoutout to headmates who love to write, draw, worldbuild, or otherwise add to their system’s creative works!

🪐 Shoutout to systems whose creative works are influenced by events that take place in their headspace, paracosm, or inner world!

💭 Shoutout to headmates with lots of exomemories from their system’s own creative works!

There is absolutely nothing wrong with having a system that is heavily based in your own stories, worlds, or other creations. It’s okay to feel like you belong more in your stories than in the real world! It’s okay to make your own creative works an integral part of your system or collective. There’s no right or wrong way to be a system, and finding inspiration and belonging from your creations is a fine way to exist as plural!

We’re wishing you all the very best in your future as you continue to learn, grow, and create together! Know that you will always have a special place in the plural community, and we are thrilled to be able to share this space with you. Please do your best to take care of yourselves and each other, and have a great day!

Since Plural Pride Day and Moon Landing Day fall on the same date, I have decided that the Moon is plural. Yep, that's right. The Moon is a median system and each of her phases is a different headmate. Aren't we all so lucky to have a celebrity so open and proud to be herself and show off all her headmates' individual styles? We should appreciate her more

not even an obscure canon call could save me.

[three-archetypes-in-a-trenchcoat]

Is it a headmate? Is it a fragment? Is it a facet? Is it a persona? Am I subconsciously masking? Am I subconsciously/involuntarily otherlinking/copinglinking? Is it a kinshift? Is it a ’flicker? Is it age regression? Is it a mood? Is it impulsivity? Is it an intrusive thought that I’m reacting to? Is it genderfluidity? Is it pronoun/namefluidity?

Who knows! Who cares! I don’t need to stress about this, it doesn’t matter! It’s a mode that the “I” is in, the way I feel in that moment! And I will make a pluralkit/tupperbox for it so I can express myself and decide the rest later! Or never! These labels are a construct! Personhood itself is a construct! I don’t need to box myselves! I can just live!

Sometimes thinking of what to say on a therianthropy themed blog is hard, because most of the time my therianthropy is just:

Woke up as a cat. Went to school as a cat. Ate dinner as a cat. Drew a picture as a cat. Went to gymnastics practice as a cat. Fell asleep as a cat.

[three-archetypes-in-a-trenchcoat]

btw I do think that nonhumans with many types should probably research plurality, because I swear sometimes its just like God. you guys know that your types talking to you internally is more often than not a plural thing right. you know maybe there's a reason you have 98 flickering types that keep fading in and out quickly. you know that plurality is alterhumanity.

seriously I am not kidding about this. I cannot count the amount of times I've seen fictionkins posting about how they shift into their types and then don't really remember what happens during shifts and also that they speak with their types. baby I don't think fictotypes can talk to you I think you should look up 'fictive heavy system' on Tumblr

I’m in Vegas and in order to avoid being overstimulated my spouse and I are pretending that we’re showing Oscar Wilde around, and tbh? It’s working. He loved Magic Mike Live

Here I have created a beautiful artistic rendering representing why I, an alterhuman, despise summer

We sometimes have this feeling we call the "video game feeling". It usually happens when we go out in nature, but it has to feel like exploring. A wide dirt path through a park isn't enough, we have to be walking through the long grass, hoping we don't get stung by the nettles, like it has to feel like the wilderness.

And then I start feeling like the protagonist of a video game, like Skyrim or smth. It sometimes overlaps with the "raptor feeling" and the "DnD adventurer feeling" too (I guess those are activated in similar environments?).

Idk what this is even supposed to be but it sounds like either alterhumanity (it's a shift) or plurality (it's a facet or alter).

Things I need to investigate next year:

What is going on with the heather hearthome?

Do I actually have a "ranger" facet?

Is Yekaterina the same as "the raptor", or is it different?

Is "the raptor" actually MY kintype?

Am I a boy?

Am I nonbinary?
