Hello !! This is a redo of my intro since so much has change since I last posted ! I will be posting stuff about my alterhuman identities.

Mostly rants about me/ my identities or questions I have.

I’m very excited to start interacting with the alterhuman/nonhuman community on tumblr again!! My DMs are open as well !

★

★ Arrows Kinlist !! ★

★ Therian

- Omnitherian

- canine therian

My strongest kins are all canines !! I am a physical canine kin!

★holothere

- border collie

I am a border collie !! It overall is my strongest kintype. Specifically I am a black and white border collie

★otherkin

- dragon

- Star (all forms and types)

- griffon

My dragon identity is very intertwined with me, it is a physical identity. Boarding on a holotheric identity for me. And starkin as well is a bit of a difficult one to explain, I am the alllll forms of stars, the ones in space, the shape, drawings, anything star

★fictionkin

- Bilbo Baggins

I don’t love interacting with doubles but I don’t really have a strict dni. But I would LOVE LOVE to interact with anyone else who is from Middle Earth!!

★otherhearted

- goats

This is related to my past experiences with goats!! Specifically Nigerian dwarf goats/ other small goats

★

Thank you for reading !! Feel free to ask any questions or reach out!!

Have a nice day/night!

Mostly this is just to pin on the top of my profile ★

★ Something interesting I’ve been thinking about is how my starkin identity intertwines with the rest of my identities.

I identify as all forms of stars, most specifically 5 point stars and actual stars. In a way it’s a part of all of my other identities. An example is my border collie holothere / caninekin. I am a border collie but In the way where that border collie is actually a star. I have star details that are just noticeable when you look hard enough but then you can’t unsee it once you do. I’m not a star turned into a border collie, I’m a border collie that just happens to be also a star.

This is such an interesting part of me, because it’s not a specific thing or one specific animal that I am. I am a lot of things at once for one single identity. Again for example my border collie kin is specifically a black and white border collie. While this is a whole range of stars. It’s something that I feel the true feeling of it is hard to explain. It’s so deeply interwoven with me.

I’m not sure exactly why this is how it is. I don’t actually know where my starkin identity comes from. I just know that I am a star. Which makes all of my identities stars as well. I also consider myself a space kin partially for this reason., although there are parts of that that are not starkin, just general space kin.

I love being a star so much. I truly feel like myself thinking about how I am a star collie and a star dragon. I love love not being human

I’d love to hear other stars experiences with their identities! ★ thank you for reading!

I got a tattoo today that i heavily relate to my identity ! ★

It is the constellation Canis Major. It takes elements from my canine kin and star kin identities. I adore how it turned out it feels like a little piece of me is being shown!

My canine kin identity especially is so deeply intertwined with who I am. I AM a dog. My behavior, my brain, my heart, my body. And being able to show that even a small bit externally is so incredible!

Im definitely going to be getting more tattoos at some point! This was my first one.

Ive been debating being a Bilbo Baggins fictionkin for a while (from The Hobbit book and movies). I just wanted to talk about it a bit because I think that might help me to just get it out

So I kinda see myself in Bilbo. How he acts and grows, the things he does, how he interacts with the world. It seems so me. And i seem like him. And The Hobbit story just seems so familiar if that makes sense, like I’ve experienced

I don’t believe I’ve had any past lives so it’s more of a I think I’m just this universes Bilbo. Instead of being one in a different universe and being him again now, just being this universes Bilbo. But also I feel like I have experienced the story of the hobbit but I don’t really have any like direct memories or anything like that so that’s really confusing.

I’ve also said that I believe my heart home is Middle Earth. I feel like I belong there. And I think that this identity might be related to this

I’m also wondering if it’s more of an otherhearted thing with a connection. But it feels like it’s more than that. Like a connection but i literally just am him.

This is kind of a short explanation but I struggle to actually explaining stuff like this. And I don’t have any other fiction kin types so I’m very confused on this. Any advice from fictionkins would be greatly appreciated!!

I want to be perceived as a canine or a dragon so badly. I want people to think of me as them. Because I am a canine, I am a dragon. I hate the fact everyone in my life sees me as fully human. I’m an Omnitherian but I really just am a canine and dragon the most. I feel like my body is them in a way. I want to get tattoos, or get my hair a certain way, or sharp teeth to make myself more dog like. I’d totally wear ears/horns and a tail everyday if I could.

I also want to be referred to as my kintypes. Like if my friends are talking about me they say something like “oh yeah my friend Aro is a German shepherd!” Or like if I do something they say” that’s because your a dragon” or maybe just silly jokes “oh look, no dogs allowed, guess Aro can’t go” even “hey look it looks like you!” If they see a border collie or something.

I want that so badly but don’t know how to achieve it. I’m not sure how to achieve the canine or dragonness I want. Or how to start telling others in my life that I’d life to be referred to that way. I’m scared that they won’t understand and stop talking to me.

I want to fly. I want to stretch my wings and glide over treetops and through mountain ranges. I want to be in the sky. I want to be able to see everything on the land. To dive and swoop, to have fun. I want to feel the wind. Yet I am cursed to stay on the ground. Limited to climbing to get up to high places. Unable to really do what I want.

[arrow-barks-with-stars]

Is there a term for when you feel like you belong to live somewhere in a separate world/fictional place? I feel like I don’t belong on earth. I belong in Middle Earth. I’m supposed to be there not here. I just feel like that’s where I was supposed to be born. I don’t know how else to explain it. Like in a perfect world id be in Middle Earth. I’ve heard the term heart home before, is that what this is? I’m still trying to learn all the terms in the alterhuman/nonhuman community. But if anyone does know the term or it is heart home let me know!!

I think I might be a gryphon kin. I was watching Narnia I got to the part where they are all fighting and I’m realizing that when the gryphon show up on the screen I get the feeling I get when I look at dragons and animals. I see me. And the sound they make in the movie, i want to make that sound so badly. (curse these vocal cords that are limited). I think I’ve always felt this feeling while watching/reading Narnia and other books with them in it. Although this watch through was the first time seeing/reading about one in a while. It still sparked the same feeling as it always has though.

I’m not sure though. I’ll have to look more into it. It could be I’m just an Omnitherian and gryphons and eagle lion hybrids and that’s why I’m feeling like I might be a gryphon. Or it’s my mind being like “ooo griffins are cool” and tricking me into thinking I am one because I think they are cool (they are really cool creatures). I’m going to do research about griffins to see if i really do feel like I am one.

One thing that is making me question I am not is you aren’t supposed to be able to lie around gryphons. I’ve seen this is quite a few stories and myths. And people have certainly lied to me before. Perhaps because they wouldn’t be able to actually see my body instead they see human? Or maybe I’m just a gryphon that you can lie around.

If there are any gryphons/griffins/griffons out there I’d love to hear about your experiences! (There are so many ways to spell it I’m not sure what ones others prefer)

My human body is just an illusion. That’s what others see but it’s not actually there. There is actually a dragon. There is actually an animal.

Im an animal using an illusion to blend in with humans. I AM a dragon. It’s just an illusion that I’m human.

I’ve recently realized something about my Therianthropy/nonhumanity. I’m an Omnitherian I know that, I am all animals. But I feel like I have a few “main” theriotypes. I also feel like these have changed over time. When I first awakened I labeled myself as a feline and otter Therian before I realized I was an Omnitherian. Now I feel more canine then any other animal, most specifically wolf, German shepherd, and border collie. I still identify as all animals, I just feel more canine right now if that makes sense. I feel like these “main” theriotypes are always changing yet it’s changing very slowly. Like I said I used to feel more feline and otter now I’m more Canine. I’m still feline and otter it’s just they aren’t my “main” theriotypes right now. I’ve been kinda worried to talk about this, but I’ve decided to just share my experience and not care if anyone thinks it’s not valid. If anyone else has similar experiences I’d love to hear about them!

Being referred to as your kin types/theriotypes is so awesome. I was at the mall yesterday with a friend, who is a Therian, and we were in a store and we saw a dragon toy and he pointed and went “look it’s you!”. I was so happy. Like yes yes that’s me I am a dragon. He did this with a lot of the animal toys/plushies we saw because I’m an omnitherian. I did it for him whenever we saw one of his theriotypes. It’s so nice to be with others that will acknowledge your alterhumanity and referred to you as your kin types/theriotypes

On a side note I had a mask and tail hanging on my bag and I only got a few weird looks and maybe one laugh. No one said anything bad or barked at me! I even got a few smiles!
