☀ welcome ☀

hi, I'm aphelion alifer (he/they), and this is my blog! you can call me aphelion (pronounced "uh-FEE-lee-un"). my name means furthest from the sun (aphelion), or a winged creature existing in freedom in the distance (aphelion alifer). this isn't my real name, but it's what I want to be called by at least on this blog for privacy reasons.

✩

I'm 20 and have been around the nonhuman community for at least 10 years as of writing this. I support all kinds of nonhuman identities, experiences, and beings. my blog is directed towards any nonhuman looking for a safe space, specifically those who are physically nonhuman (shapeshifters, extra limb growers or wing growers/avians, etc), but anyone is welcome. I also consider myself to be spiritual, a reality shifter, furry, and witch, so I might reblog things other than nonhuman stuff. I mostly share posts relating to my experiences, thoughts, things I like, etc. on this blog, I prefer not to talk about my mental health struggles, but I might reblog posts related to mental health. this blog is SFW.

just your average avian (wing grower), winged werewolf, and overall celestial beast-thing. since childhood I've had a strong calling to the sky which is how I've known that I am meant to have wings in this life. also spiritually some kind of horned black kite resembling maleficent's phoenix form, but I suspect that I could also be some kind of dark fey fictionkin as well or have my soul origins be tied to maleficent's universe. I also consider myself kind of maned wolf hearted due previously identifying as a winged maned wolf but haven't for a while now, still figuring myself out of course like everyone else!

I also have felt like I am not from this universe overall which is why I consider myself to be a celestial beast/being, and I have had past lives here on earth to learn lessons about humanity and to break karmic or generational cycles/traumas. I feel as if this is possibly my last physical reincarnation on earth, and i will return to the astral realm or my soul's home origins once it's my time.

✩

I'm the author of "Nonhumanity: A history", a document that is a timeline of the nonhuman community and also serves as an archive for older articles and websites. it can be found here: Aphelion Alifer - 2024 (google.com)

I also have a forum you can join dedicated to physical shifters/nonhumans, but it's open to anyone of any species and identity!: Home | Creaturecavern

✩

I believe in good energy and keeping bad vibes out, and I'm not here for discourse or fights! I block freely, but DNI if you're any of the following: anti-pshifters/anti general nonhuman identities and experiences, right wing/trump supporters, posts and condones illegal and immoral behavior, homophobia/transphobia and are pro-ship. especially please fuck off if youre a pedo/zoo/necrophile regardless of recovery status. I'm sure there's more I could add to this list that I'm not thinking of, but thats it for now :P

✩

thanks for taking the time to read this and check out my little corner of the web, I look forward to being on this journey with like-minded individuals!

Got a cheapo leather journal with very fragile paper, but I have been making it work with mostly marker and pen. It's been fun so far.

You don't have to answer if you don't have the time, but I kinda wanted to request just like... a bunch of links to were communities & discussions or even general p-shifting & physical nonhuman links. Like as many as you have on hand, archived or active.

(I know this would probably time consuming for you though, so don't worry about it if you don't wanna compile a list lol, its cool.)

no worries! if you click on the "older sites/resources" tab here you will be directed to my ever-growing collection of links, starting with alt.horror.werewolves all the way to a few currently active places today! I hope you enjoy looking through it ^^

Imagine feeling threatened by physical nonhumans. We haven’t done anything to ACTUALLY hurt people. Like oh nooooo we are animals. So scary!!

[winged-skree-creature]

So I’ve been able to trigger the shifting feeling a lot easier lately, I’m trying to practice at least once every few days so meep. Anyway from what ive noticed and other shifters have confirmed while shapeshifting isn’t completely painless it’s more like muscle growth pains rather than extreme death type pain…and at the beginning of a shift for me at least it feels like extreme tingles followed by pressure and extreme phantoms then followed by the muscle pains as my body starts to change

petition to stop saying physical alterhumans "know they're human." we're not. I don't know where this bullshit came from, but it's like y'all don't know what the word 'physical' means. it is not delusional to say your body is not human, it is a fucking fact. hell even if it is from delusions you shouldn't have ableist fucks telling you your body is not what you say it is.

to those who need to hear it: no one knows you better than yourself. no one has the right to say what you are, no one gets to dictate how you feel and how you see yourself or how others see you. you are not human, you are a physical alterhuman and you are valid. <- this is directed toward the 0% human physical alterhumans

Blocklist - @/theriomed.

If the entirety of your political stance within a certain sphere, be it furry or otherkin or queer or otherwise, revolve around being "less woke" than the rest of it, or being "anti-woke" when "woke" simply means to be aware of the state of politics, how minorities are affected by said politics, and the violence minorities face, then you need to think about why you find so much pride in being ideologically closer to Nazis and fascists and actively aiding them than the rest of your community actually doing work to benefit us.

No, seriously. Your identity doesn't exist in a vacuum. You need to think about how your politics intersect with your identity and how that intersection affects your community. I'm not saying you can't be a therian without being insanely political aware, but I am saying that there isn't a point in interacting with other therians if you can't be inclusive and respectful.

Even if this is a troll just looking to make physical therians look bad, I still think it's worth discussing. I see genuine physical therians hold similar beliefs all of the time, and I think they only hold these beliefs because they don't think about the implications of their beliefs and where those beliefs might lead them.

When im having strong wing shifts its both very joyous and kind of annoying because theyre much bigger and wider than what im used to so I start trying to avoid knocking things down with them but theyre not actually there so what really happens is I start moving really weirdly. This event just led to me stubbing my toe
