do you consider yourself human?
yes
no
nuance
results
[hate to be that guy but if you would consider reblogging for reach i would love to have a larger pool of data here]
love the concept of angels having bird mannerisms because it implies that we fly into windows and fuckig die
if all the transgender therians and furries on this website were given a nice stable quality of life and universal basic income to afford groceries and rent we would live in a fucking artistic and cultural Renaissance and im not fucking kidding
trying to get something started for people with imaginary friends, paras without paracosms, inner and outer visualizations, etc
Didn't find what I was looking for in Immersive Daydreaming or Tulpamancy places.
And there's an odd concept floating around that making a non-sentient thoughtform = cruel or unethical? Which seems backwards, if someone doesn't want or isn't prepared for that, it's like getting someone a pet rabbit for Easter when they're better off with a stuffed animal.
And while looking I've found people who have expressed interest, so...
Imagimancy (?)
(eh-maj-eh-manse-see)
Trying to make a community/tag for people with non-autonomous (or fauxtonomous) imaginaries and thoughtform constructs, NPCs and such.
similar to/overlap with: daemonism, tulpamancy, soulbonding, self-shipping, immersive daydreaming, willomancy, (etc)
considered more or less plural-adjacent
focusing more on visualization/imagination tips/talk, ideas for useful constructs, etc. No pushing people into making thoughtforms autonomous if they don't want to!
(currently very alterhuman heavy / ties to alterhumanity in general but isn't required or officially an alterhuman thing)
not trying to reinvent and re-label things, there's just a gap between communities here
keep seeing pinterest posts like "calling all therians/quadrobists!!! come join my pack 10-14 only!!!! google classroom password in desc!"
1. not all therians are canines + feel comfortable in a "pack"
2. doing quads does not make someone a therian or any other subset of nonhuman, and that suggests that only therians can do quads (and quadrobists can only be therians)
3. advertising something made by and for 10-14 year olds publicly is a horrible idea, anyone could be hosting this "pack" and anyone could join because
4. YOU PUT THE PASSWORD OUT IN THE OPEN
you are literally saying HEY EVERYONE!! GROUP OF VULNERABLE 10-14 YEAR OLDS HERE!! ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS JOIN THIS GOOGLE CLASSROOM AND YOU HAVE MULTIPLE OF OUR EMAILS AND CAN CONTACT US PRIVATELY!! WE WILL BE POSTING PICTURES AND VIDEOS OF OURSELVES STRETCHING AND JUMPING!!! additionally DO NOT JOIN CLASSROOMS LIKE THIS!! THEY COULD BE A TRAP SET BY AN ADULT!!
pinterest therians i BEG of you. please stop doing this. please
while im at it, stop going into random therians' comment sections and asking RANDOM. PEOPLE. to tell u if youre a therian or not. RANDOM PEOPLE ON PINTEREST SHOULD NOT BE CHOOSING YOUR IDENTITY FOR YOU IT'S YOURS!! THERIANTHROPY IS A DEEPLY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE!!! Xx.FinnOnPaws.xX SHOULD NOT BE DICTATING YOUR IDENTITY
just to add some salt in the wound, YOU DONT HAVE TO BE A MAMMAL, OR AN ANIMAL FOR THAT MATTER. YOU CAN IDENTIFY PHYSICALLY. YOU CAN CHOOSE TO BE A THERIAN. YOU DONT HAVE TO DO QUADS. NOT EVERY THERIAN IS A CHILD. STOP WATERING US DOWN SO YOU CAN TRY AND APPEAL TO PEOPLE WHO WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND US
A drawing I just made :3
Based on true events xd
I think all the features of a broadly appealing, useful, and recognizable alterhuman symbol can be summed up as "can be drawn on the wall of a bathroom stall in less than 5 seconds"
You’re never gonna get an angel bound in human form that isn’t some sort of fucked up. You’re cutting it off from all sorts of metaphysical senses, extradimensional perceptions, and biologically impossible physiology all at once. That’s like if you pancaked a human down to 2D and took away all our senses besides touch and smell. You’d be pretty weird too.
all misgendering grates of course but seeing Akwaeke Emezi referenced as a woman feels so extra turbo bonkers because "nonbinary" barely even begins to cover what they've got going on. Emezi scarcely even understands themself as human. which you would know if you read their memoir, Dear Senthuran, which is so artistically radiant that it aches, but given that a lot of clowns on here can't even sit comfortably with western ideas of gender fuckery they're REALLY not ready for ọgbanje.
Well damn, I need to check this out
'Archetropes aren't alterhuman, that's normal human experience '.
No. It's normal human experience to feel that you fit an archetype or trope. It's normal human experience to have a favourite archetype or trope and gravitate towards characters who display it or even try to display it in yourself or your OCs.
It's not really going to be considered normal if you say you are the embodiment of that archetype or trope, partially or completely. Or if you identify with it in such an intense way that it completely shapes the entirety of your being including possibly your therio/kin/fictotypes.
It's not generally regarded as average to see yourself not exactly as a person but as an archetype of a person, a trope of a person. To the side of being human because you are a concept and apply to humans but you are still basically just a concept with a body. That's alterhuman.
Being a ranger I spend a lot of time alone in the wilderness for hours in the company of one of four co workers.
One such worker for the purpose of this post we shall refer to as Dave.
Dave is a very quiet man. He confesses that if conversation happens too quickly and for too long he gets tired so we often work in silence. He's very polite and good natured but it's obvious that he would happily live and work alone for the rest of his life given the option.
He's very much in the previous generation of ranger, a practical man in his fourties or fifties happy to be kept physically busy for a day and then be sent home with some pay. I had to show him how to use a work issued smart phone.
Meanwhile the rest of the team is made up of the current generation of rangers; openly nurodivergent queer women in their twenties or thirties who work this job because it's the only setting where we can vaguely look sane.
So Dave sticks out a bit. It's really nice when he opens up though because he's an impulsive individual when left to his own devices and has plenty of stories to tell if the mood takes him. I really like working with Dave.
Anyway, one day we've got a job that takes a three hour hike to get to and early on the topic of deer comes up.
I hadn't realised this was the first time we had discussed deer, but blatantly it was. Dave's entire demeanour changes, there's a bit of passion in his voice, but it's also hushed as if he's talking about something sacred.
"Deer are my favourite animal." He says.
I'm also eager to hear Dave talk about himself, so I encourage him to say more.
"I'd love to be a deer myself."
And more
"If a genie offered me the opportunity to become a deer I'd take it. I wouldn't even stop to ask what the price was."
And more
"Sometimes I feel like I'm a deer having a dream about being a human.*
And there I am, a long time commuter to the therian/otherkin community keeping up the encouraging face of someone being politely interested, knowing that this man is straight up a therian with no frame of reference.
And I decided that I wouldn't push the subject outside of the bounds of what Dave is comfortable with, I wouldn't try to teach him the terms "Therian" or "Otherkin" but absolutely I would talk with this man as if he's a deer.
And it's a bit magical really. He's an impulsive individual so I have to talk him out of some risky choices every so often and "this is why deer like you keep getting stuck in fences" has become this magical phrase that allows him to step down from a mistake with a bit of a smile on his face.
*gripping the sink and staring into the mirror* it’s a pointless endeavor to correct every person in fandom joking about a character being a “kin”. You don’t need to do it. No one will like you.
Being the token alterhuman in a fandom
[Image description: The "They don't know" or "party loner" meme line drawing, showing a person wearing a conical party hat standing alone in a corner at a party, while two other couples are having fun. The meme text says, "They don't know that's not what it fucking means."]
im in the wrong realm and i think everyone can tell
gotta be careful saying shit like “god i hate my body” cause you know the self-esteem patrol is gonna be all like “no you’re so cute!” and it’s like no i KNOW i’m hot, the problem is i’m supposed to be a DRAGON
