Intro to the blog

Welcome to the alterhuman survey archive! This blog is meant to be an archive for alterhuman surveys, polls, etc! This blog is ran by @the-elysium-collective, and me alone. For this reason, please be patient with me. I'm dealing with many things IRL and i don't always have a lot of free time.

How does this work?

Surveys, polls, etc will be reblogged to this account. Posts tagged with #open are still looking for answers, and #closed means they aren't. I'll do my best to stay up-to-date with them.

If it has a specific targeted demographic, it will be tagged to the best of my abilities. Ex.: physical nonhumans, therians, otherpaws, adults only, etc

If you want your survey to be on here, feel free to tag this blog in the post or send in an ask!

This blog has no DNI, but i will be blocking NSFT-centric blogs as I am a minor and there will be minors interacting with this blog.

Tag guide

#open / #closed - whether or not a survey is still taking answers or not

#survey - a survey

#not a survey - this is self explanatory

Shapeshifting as a therian

If I were able to shapeshift, I wouldn't turn into my theriotype... But I wouldn't want to stay completely human either (ew)... It would be SO COOL if I could be an anthropomorphic sheep creature!!

I wonder what other therians think/want/would prefer?

if you could shapeshift, you would...

change between human and my theriotype(s)

go full animal

50/50

human with animal features

animal with some human features

stay human (maybe changing only on special occasions)

other!

I liked the first poll so imma do another :>

there is a choice of "mixed kintypes" if you fall into multiple categories, but you can always pick the category that you most align with should you fit into multiple boxes.

What kind of avian are you?

Bird with flight (raptors, passerines, waterfowl, galliformes, etc.)

Flightless bird (ratites, penguins, rails, etc.)

Non-paleo extinct avian (passenger pigeon, labrador duck, javan lapwing, etc.)

Paleo avian (Enantiornithes, Gastornithiformes, Ichthyornithiformes, etc.)

Humanoid avian (aarakocra, harpy, kenku, etc.)

Avian humanoid (winged humanoids)

Other Fictional avian species (gryphon, roc, phoenix, etc.)

*non-medical refers to any health restrictions that affect whether or not you can eat meat, such as allergies

For Alterhumans+Alterbeings; where do you and your (primary) kintype lay in regards to eating habits?

My kintype is carnivorous, I eat meat without (non-medical) restrictions

My kintype is omnivorous, I eat meat without (non-medical) restrictions

My kintype is herbivorous, I eat meat without (non-medical) restrictionskinty

My kintype is carnivorous, I don't eat meat due to (non-medical) reasons

My kintype is omnivorous, I don't eat meat due to (non-medical) reasons

My kintype is herbivorous, I don't eat meat due to (non-medical) reasons

My kintype does not fit into carnivorous/omnivorous/herbivorous classifications

How integrated are you into the Alterhuman/Alterbeing community? (regardless of identity)

I post extremely often--at least twice a day

I post often--almost everyday

Alterhumans, where do you feel you most belong?

Present-day Earth

Past or future Earth, in this reality/timeline

An alternate reality* version of Earth

Somewhere not on Earth, in this reality

Somewhere not on Earth, in an alternate reality

It's complicated/I'm not sure/other

Not alterhuman (results)

Voting ended onApr 17

*For those that believe they belong on a different plane of existence/different dimension, choose whichever answer best fits your personal beliefs– e.g. if you feel you belong on the astral plane of present-day Earth and believe that plane exists in this reality choose the first answer, but if you don't believe it exists choose the third one. If you aren't sure what you believe go with your gut feeling about it or just choose the "I'm not sure" answer.

[monocell]

QUESTION (for otherkin OR those WITHOUT lifeforms that ACTIVELY are on earth as kintypes) (i.e. dragons, unicorns, extinct animals)

Fictionfolk+Therian versions are active too!!! Go vote on those if you fit those

(MYTHICAL, EXTINCT, NONFICTIONAL KINTYPES ONLY) If you had the chance to (physically) 'transition' into your kintype, would you take the offer?

Yes, I would transition into [my kintype] entirely

Yes, but I would only partially transition into [my kintype] (i.e. snout, wings)

No, I wouldn't take up the offer and would stay my current physical self

poll time again!

If you could become your kintype; but the transformation process is extremely painful, has a tiny chance to kill you, and you can’t change back once it’s complete. Would you do it?

YES!

uhhhmmmm……I think I’ll reconsider

it’s hard to choose

which kintype?

Voting ended onApr 10

[twilightofthesandwiches]

You can choose one of these mildly non-human traits to have…

Which will you choose?

Patches of iridescent scales or feathers

A pair of antlers

Monkey-like dexterous feet

Enhanced sense of smell

A mouth that can unhinge like a snake’s

Slightly-prehensile hair

Fully-functional gills

Wings (capable of gliding, but not true flight)

Tail (can be somewhat prehensile, but not that dexterous)

Retractable claws

Long, sharp fangs

Hair that naturally has an unnatural color of your choice

[knightiajade]

guys. It's our time

I couldn't resist picking tail. Fangs and claws were close

[coastal-castor]

Ooh. I was tied between tail, claws and fangs as well! I chose tail because it’s the only phantom shift that I have though I’d really love claws or nails.

[therian-study]

Okay so here’s what I’m doing and why:

Hi, most of you online know me as Coyote, we’ll leave it at that for now. I’m a 26-year-old UK-based therian. Recently it occurred to me that there is very little actual research into the therian community, and as a result we don’t really have data to back up our experiences.

There are a lot of misconceptions about therianthropy; for example, that it’s mostly children or just a phase. Those of us in the community know that isn’t accurate, but right now it’s difficult to demonstrate that in a way that people outside the community will take seriously.

So I’ve started a research project to try and change that.

The aim of this study is to gather anonymous data about therian identity; things like age, how long people have identified this way, and the kinds of experiences people have. In order to identify patterns within the community.

This is not about proving or disproving anything, and it’s not about making anyone look ridiculous. It’s about documenting our experiences in a way that is respectful and actually useful.

If you’re a therian (or questioning / feel you relate), I’d really appreciate you taking part:

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to ask.

Therian Study Stage One

This survey is part of an independent research project aiming to provide a better understanding of therian identity from the perspective of

Realized I haven't posed this question since before tumblr added polls. Small note under the readmore so as not to influence data

EDIT: For the purposes of this poll, if you don't use the therian label but identify as an animal-like creature of any sort please vote with the therians!

If you are a therian with mysterious neck strain issues I may have a solution lol

Nonhuman Ethnography Survey

Nonhuman Ethnography: How Do We Use Technology?

The details of my project can be read about here. TD;DR: I am interested in learning about how different websites or platforms impact how w

As many of you are aware, I am working on a project about how the nonhuman community interacts with each other online!

I have created this survey to try and get as many voices as I can to be apart of this.

Check out my website page for details on the methods I will be using and how I will use your data.

This survey will be open for a little under a month, so if you plan to take it, please do so ASAP.

Even if you don't have time, please reblog this to help me cast as wide a net as possible.

If you have ANY questions about this survey or my project, please reach out to me!

I will release the data at the beginning of May.
