We’re actually making an intro now WOAH

Hello, our username is Alterhuman36! We’re a mixed-origins system of 30. All of us are alterhuman! Our members are under the cut because it’s long

Uncanny valley is "we live in a society" and thus the body is a vessel in this concrete prison.

Calling endos "invasive species" is racist and dehumanizing btw.

No human should be considered 'invasive species' for their identity.

alterhuman36

The one thing we don’t like about the plural community(aside syscourse) is that despite technically being Alterhuman themselves we constantly see human-centrism like this.

Okay, hopefully this isn’t out of my lane as someone who’s not a ‘linker myself, but something that’s been annoying me for a long time and I’m seeing it more and more in the tags -

“Kin for fun” is not copinglinking/otherlinking either. Otherlinking is also serious and is also identify-as - it’s just voluntarily formed.

If what someone’s doing is roleplay, it’s not otherlinking. If what they’re doing is comfort characters, it’s not otherlinking. If what they’re doing is relating to a character without actually identifying as that character, it’s not otherlinking.

I know we’re all really, really tired of people misusing ‘kin language to mean those things, but that’s not an excuse to tell them to misuse someone else’s language instead - when we do that, we’re throwing ‘linkers under the bus in exactly the way we’re asking non-’kin not to do to us.

The only difference between ‘kin and ‘linking is that one is involuntary and the other is consciously, voluntarily formed - they’re both serious, they’re both identify-as, and neither of them should be conflated with roleplay or relating to/projecting onto or comfort characters.

That being said - apparently there’s a term I wasn’t familiar with before someone told me about it while writing this post, funlink, which is in fact “choosing a nonhuman identity for fun” and may fit - I don’t know how popular the term is, but it exists if you want to use it. (That being said… it’s still identify-as. If you don’t identify as the thing, you probably don’t fit under that either, I would assume.)

In addition to that, otherheartedness/kith/synpaths are… generally more important and serious than people make them out to be when they’re giving KFF (kin-for-fun) people alternative words to use. The point of the ‘hearted, kith, and synpath labels are to say “this isn’t me, but it is important to my sense of self nonetheless”. Again, if it’s just something you’re doing for fun and can drop at any given moment with no consequences, it’s… probably not ‘heartdness/kith/synpath either. Those aren’t things that you do for fun.

And yes, I understand that there are cases in which these fit. Usually that’s when people are saying they’re “kin to cope” or “kinning” but not “kin for fun” - if the experiences someone is describing do fit the definitions of ‘linker or ‘hearted or whatever else, then please point them that direction! My point is not that it never applies and we should never suggest it - just that when we do, we need to clearly state that these are still identify-as (for ‘linking) and serious, genuinely important things (both), not treat them like they’re “for fun” and less important or real than otherkinity.

If the words that apply are roleplay, comfort characters, and relating to/projecting onto characters, and it goes no deeper than that and isn’t genuinely important to your sense of self, then those are the words that should be used. Not otherlinker/copinglinker if it’s not identify-as, not ‘hearted/kith/synpath if it’s not genuinely important to who you are. Don’t encourage people to misuse another group’s language because you want them to stop misusing ours.

EDITED: altered phrasing on the otherheartedness paragraph; someone pointed out the original phrasing kind of implied otherheartedness wasn’t usually as serious as ‘kin/’linking, which was the opposite of my intention.

As a kid, I used to keep bones from dinner…usually chicken bones. I’d take them to my room and gnaw on them, not really thinking about why, just following an instinct that felt completely natural to me. When I was done, I’d hide them under my pillow.

I think we should normalize talking about these kinds of experiences that felt undeniably right to us, no matter how “odd” they may seem. Especially within the therian community, sharing these memories helps us understand ourselves and each other better.

What are some things you did (or still do) that made you realize you were different?

alterhuman36

I mimicked theriform cats in every way. I would race around the house for no reason because my cat(Ole) got zoomies. I actually started avoiding eye contact because it’s the first stage of a cat fight. And then that may have become a habit that is the real reason none of my headmates can make eye contact most of the time, but I don’t know for certain. I started quads, vocals, and walking on my toes at this time. They quickly became involuntary responses. I even mimicked cats I saw in videos, and sometimes dragged my hind legs limp behind me while I moved around because it was how some physically disabled cats moved(I’m not physically disabled, but I still did this).

I was also a Warriors-obsessed kit for this reason. Lots of the usual, religious reader of the books, joined a clan with my classmates(Cloudclan, I was Firewing and changed my name to Lightstream later. The leaders were Ravenstar and Kestrelstar if memory serves, the latter of whom ‘died’ so she could be reborn as a kit and eventually become apprentice and warrior. Graytail was the medicine cat. Other members included Enowing(later Lavenderwing), Sunvine, Fuzzball, and Echofeather. We had a territory and gathered herbs(mostly moss and dandelions), and fresh-kill(sticks).), eventually watched MAPs(first one I saw was Roxanne), etc. I started incorporating clan turns of phrase into my regular vocabulary, too, but I was teased out of it. I read tons of other books, too, and if the characters weren’t cats in canon, I made them all cats. I imagined nearly every single character I ever read about as a cat. Anyways, I always get surprised whenever I hear Warriors described as a “normal” series to be obsessed with, I’m even disoriented because it takes me a moment to remember that most people probably didn’t love it because they were a cat and gained an opportunity to escape to a world where everyone was one.

And not really something I DID, but I certainly remember realizing in fourth grade or earlier that other people didn’t have 24/7 phantom cat ears and a tail, because if they did someone would have mentioned it by now.

Hey so like I’m pretty sure a while ago someone came up with an alternative term for the word ‘dehumanization’ for therians who enjoyed being ‘dehumanized’ and saw it in a positive light;

Could someone help me find that post/term?

alterhuman36

Oh someone screenshotted that! -Wulfie

I refuse to reblog this post as I do not want to give this being the attention they do not deserve, but I feel the need to speak on this

STOP PUSHING RELIGION ON OTHERS

STOP SAYING IDENTITIES ARE WRONG

STOP TELLING BEINGS WHAT TO DO AND HOW TO BELIEVE

canislupuslatrans

As a religious person who follows God this makes me livid. He would never want anyone to abandon what makes them truly happy to follow Him. The person in the screenshots is disrespecting His name.

Nobody should feel pressured into converting into a religion that makes them abandon key parts of their identity. God would not want that.

Plus you shouldn't be forcing God's messages onto unwilling folks. Religion is a personal thing that shouldn't be forced on others.

alterhuman36

As another religious nonhuman(a Christian), this makes me sad. This person surely believes what they are saying, but I know the truth. Humanity is wonderful, just as wonderful as all of God’s other creations. This person believes that humans are superior, chosen by God above others, and that a nonhuman believes themselves to be lesser. This is not true! I am no less than any of God’s other creations, and all beings in this world are in God’s image. I am not “just an entity,” and I am not “something that was not created in the image of God.” I am me! And that is more than enough.

I hope this person finds through their faith that all beings are a part of God’s creation.

I love you characters who aren’t human in any way and don’t want to be human and experience species dysphoria about being perceived as human and have to pretend to be human for their own safety and are still not a human and are still a person who deserves to be treated as such but still get to live among humans without the characters/ narrative forcing them to either become human on some level to prove that they have a soul or be some sort of scary monster or cautionary tale. This post is about Murderbot but if you think this fits anything else please give media recommendations.

Also I hate you fandom members who equate humanity with personhood/empathy/compassion/sapience/deserving basic rights/platonic attraction or connection/etc -Bone(if this sends you into a spiral wondering if you’re a bad person, the answer is no)

“Being a fictive is objectively the funniest part of being a system”

Well, I don’t know if you’re saying that because that’s the kind of joy you get from being a fictive, or if you’re saying that as a coping mechanism, or anything else, and it’s really none of my business why you’re saying it.

But maybe we shouldn’t be calling an uncontrollable part of someone’s existence “objectively funny,” because I don’t think the idea that simply BEING makes you an objective laughingstock is good for anyone’s mental health. It certainly doesn’t help my headmates.
