WELCOME 2 THE STARS [INTRODUCTION POST]
[updated regularly!]
Howdy! I go by primarily Astro(short for Astraeus, but my religious anxiety doesn’t let me actually go by Astraeus :c my self-insert/sona guy’s full name is though) or Wolfe(pronounced ‘wolf’) (also highkey wanna go by Orion but I fear I’m a little too late to change things LMAO…I also go by Dragon on discord if you care) and I use he/it pronouns (they is also alright) :3 This is my only blog(aside from very work in progress rp blogs, the only one active being my silly dispatch oc(@arterra-sdn)) and I post pretty much anything on here, but mostly art and alterhuman stuff. And also whatever shit is on my mind, completely unfiltered because I don’t have a filter built into my brain.
*Please note that I’m a minor.
hyperfixated on transformers + trepang2 as of current so you’ll see a lot of that
[DIVIDER CREDIT]
Also please specify sarcasm when talking to me! I’m HORRIBLE at detecting it both online and in real life. I also have a fluctuating southern accent and I type like my accent sometimes so please let me know if you need clarification on what I say lmao
be warned I use dude/bro and such gender-neutrally a lot and also sometimes use partner platonically(like in a cowboy-y way…)!!! please tell me if you don’t want me to do that for you and I will try my best not to!!!
note: even if I look inactive I answer to communications very quick generally! I may not post/reblog for a bit sometimes but I am present :-) asks always open and appreciated
MORE BELOW THE CUT
[MINOR FLASH WARNING!! the bottom of the post contains blinkies] also apologies in advance for the amount of caps that is unfortunately how I show my excitement
✧★ ABOUT ME !!! ★✧
as already mentioned, I go by mainly Astro (or Wolfe, but in all honestly Astro is used waaay more) !! Sometimes known as Star/Starry but that’s more of a past thing…
I have been an artist for my entire life and I also have been animating since late 2019-ish :D I post art on here sometimes I think
I am a minor(in high school).
I’m a furry + wolf/dog kemonomimi !! you can find my fursona here if you’d like to see them.
^you can find my other main sona(weird ass werewolf vigilante guy) here I also have an (technically inactive because I’m scared of people but always open to interaction+asks) RP blog for him @lupusignis !!
I am type 1 diabetic but I don’t really mention it unless it’s my LOUD VIRTUAL COMPLAINING about my dexcom doing weird shit lmao
I’m also alterhuman/nonhuman !! I do not consider myself human on any level…my known identities/labels are—
Cryptidkin/monsterkin. Likely psychological and somewhat spiritual(link to nature) also holothere I think.
Dragonkith/hearted
Spacekith/hearted + pROBABLY kin someway but I dunno
Angelkin(spiritual+somewhere in the gray space that can’t be put with a word+holothere probably)
Dromeosaur, haven’t figured out the specific species still. Most likely otherspin.
I also refer to myself as a (non-shifting) werewolf but I don’t really use the werewolfkin label. so werewolfkin/holothere I guess yeah
questioning a lion and deer and slugcat(Rain World) theriotype. not really looking into it atm though I’m just putting here for logging sake I guess
something?? with unicorns??? I think???? it’s sort of an on and off thing idk if it’s kith or kintype or anything
Wolf. Not label specific I’m literally just a wolf guy. Cryptid wolf.
My soul is also?? Kind of intrinsically tied to cowboys and the old west??? Like a deep connection???? I dunno if that’s an alterhuman thing or just another weird me thing [update archetrope fits this I think]
Psychologically, spiritually, and physically canine; heavy on wolves and working dogs.
^ That being said, even if I identify on such levels, I am in fact aware of my physical form being human. I am mentally ill and I do think it affects my ahumanity but not in terms of delusion n stuff personally
some other miscellaneous labels that describe me …
ahuman
malomasc (?)
wolfnatured
spacenatured
stupid wannabe cowboy n also I REALLY like horses - I’m also Texan.
I really really like 60s-90s rock music hehe
punk(working a battle jacket!! will post photos when I’m done if anyone wants to see it) + beastpunk and genderpunk I think
aromantic asexual + agender spec trans man + maybe I think MLM/gay I don’t even know man
^ my gender is oddly complex but as a general statement I am a dude
I do have severe GAD so my apologies if I take a while to respond to something!! I also have PTSD(no formal diagnosis, but tons of evidence + acknowledged by a therapist), and am suspected to have autism for numerous reasons but I do not have a diagnosis. Also I have no specific chronic pain diagnosis but I am in pain…all the time…my entire life…chat help
^ part time cane user due to said chronic pain :P
also diagnosed with ADHD?? I think??? the place I got evaluated that got me the diagnosis + my OCD diagnosis was kinda weird tbh
definitely also mentally ill but I don’t got specifics or anything. I’m a little generally unstable + diagnosed with OCD though. just a warning in case I rant about it sometimes OCD sucks lol. I also get some delusion-type issues sometimes sorry if that comes up in my posts
my special interest is paleontology(heavy emphasis on animals like dinosaurs)!!! since I was like 2!!!
I’m super interested in the historical “wild west” and I have been for years and I know a shit ton about it aghhhh yeah I might ramble about it sometimes…same with dinosaurs/other prehistoric animals
also I like both red dead redemption games a lotttt on the topic of my wild west interest
also also I really like old westerns n stuff. westerns in general actually. Fistful of Dollars trilogy is really cool. watching Preparati la bara ! / Django, Prepare a Coffin next when I figure out how to if one cares very excited
I REALLY LIKE JETS AND PLANES AND HELICOPTERS AND STUFF. I CANNOT YET IDENTIFY MODELS AS EASILY AS SOME PEOPLE BUT I AM VERY INTERESTED IN THEM AND THEY ARE REALLY COOL
really interested in space if the blog theme didn’t make it obvious hehe. space is deeply intertwined with my soul in a way I do not know how to properly describe it. currently looking into astrophysics :3 said interest does in fact extend to spaceships. I have been compared to LEGO Movie Benny more than a time I get really really excited about spaceships Benny is so real (my favorite rocket is Saturn V!)
transformers!!! my current fixation(the robots are stuck in my head) ALSO TREPANG THE FIXATION HAS REAWAKENED AND THIS TIME AFTER MISSING EVERY SALE FOR LIKE YEARS I ACTUALLY HAVE RHE GAME I’M LSOFNYN ITFKRJGJCNT
also love pacific drive(game) also love ultrakill
and Call of Duty Modern Warfare!!! I’ve played the original trilogy on XBOX360 though I don know a thing about the remastered (update: the reboot for MW1 was on sale for 5 whole bucks. we think it was an accident. I have played that now also)
I’M ALSO NOT NORMAL ABOUT PROJECT HAIL MARY YOU SHOULD READ THE BOOK(/nf) IT IS REALLY GOOD AND SO IS THE MOVIE AND EVERYRIME I HEAR IT MENTIONED I EXPLODE I got so excited when I heard there was a movie adaptation and I will probably never be able to sit through any other three hour long movie lol
I also like Formula One :-) I am not very knowledgeable on it though in all honesty. motorsports are pretty cool. funny enough I am awful at watching sports with family(ex. the Super Bowl) yet I will watch/listen through full old recordings of F1 races while doing stuff haha
I know DNIs are considered pretty useless, but you know. Worth a shot. DNI if beastiality, dark/proship, NSFW/k!nk blog(ESPECIALLY if it’s images…text is cool as long as it’s not like the only thing you post), radqueer(transabled, necrophil3, etc), TERF, pro-I.C.E., Trump supporters, or basic DNI criteria

I usually follow back unless you don’t want minors on your blog or you’re in my DNI(or I’m in yours, of course)
Stratt is the kind of carer that never uses the 'babyish' terms for things out of respect for herself and Grace (despite him always using the more 'babyish' terms.)
Ilyukhina, however, thinks it's really funny to hear Stratt say the babyish words. So she pretends not to understand what Stratt is asking her to get unless she says it the way Gracey says it 🤣🥺
Yess xD!
Stratt likes to be direct, to use the proper terms for everything (she sees it as good for the "development" of her little ones)!
Of course that means Ilyukhina does everything she can to hear Stratt use the babyish terms xD
"Ilyukhina, can you grab me Grace's plush?" Stratt ask as Grace sits on her lap, hands clutching to her sweater, showing no efforts to let her up.
Ilyukhina blinks before a small smirk crosses her lips.
"Which one?"
Stratt uses her chin to point in the direction of the discarded plush dog that lay on the ground.
"Hmm but which one?"
"You know which one, it's the only one there, just hand it to me before he starts fussing."
Ilyukhina dismissively waves her hand, "but I need know what it's called," her eyes sparkling with that mischievous glint as she heard Stratt heavily sigh.
"Ilyukhina will you hand me...puppy-wuppy, please."
Ilyukhina giggles and instantly plucks the toy up before plopping it beside them.
"Of course! Why didn't you just say so?"
Stratt glares at her but, there's no real heat in it as Grace stirs. Stratt holds the plush dog out to Grace who sleeply grabs it, pressing the worn fur against his and Stratt's body before nuzzling closer with a content coo.♡
What's the oldest carousel horse you can find a picture of?
the oldest carousel in history
↟ Happy National Carousel Day! ↟
“ the oldest carousel in the world is appropriately housed in a Greek temple-like building atop a small hill in Hanau, Germany.” - national carousel association
in 1777, the carousel was commissioned for Prince Wilhelm IX of Hessen-Kassel. while construction began in 1779, the carousel would be finished the following year in 1780
the hanau carousel is older than all existing carousels in north america by nearly a hundred years
unlike the carousels we see today, the hanau carousel was purely stationary and did not move up and down. instead, the horses would rotate in a circle
designed by architect Franz Ludwig Cancrin, who brought his experience as a mining engineer to the carousel project, its powering mechanism is hidden away in an artificial hill below
unlike modern platforms, the center and floor remain stationary while only the outer band that carrying the horses and carriage spins
since 1780, these horses have been through… a lot
over two hundred years old, the carousel has experienced the common difficulties of age and has had many breaks for restoration
on the contrary, it has also been damaged by destructive wars, powerful storms, and almost a close call auction that was successfully protested
at one point, twelve of the sixteen horses were even stolen and later recovered and sheltered in a location unknown to the public
the stories these horses could tell lol
on the bright side, the latest restoration was completed in 2016 and the sixteen horses and four carriages have been thriving ever since
if you look closely, the horses even wear name tags, a gift given to them by the easter bunny in recent years
If you’re an adult, do the stuff you couldn’t as a kid.
Like, me and my sister went to a museum, and they had an extra exhibit of butterflies. But it cost £3. So we sighed, walked past, then stopped. We each had £3. We could see the butterflies. And we did it was great. We followed it up with an ice-cream as well because Mum and Dad weren’t there to say no.
I was driving back from a work trip with 2 other people in their early 20s, and we drove past a MacDonalds. One of the others went “Aww man, I’d love a McFlurry.” And the guy driving pulled in to the drive through. It was wild. But it was great.
I went to a park over the weekend and I was thinking “Man, I’d love to hire one of those bikes and cycle round the park.” It took me a few minutes to go “Wait, I can hire one of those bikes!”
I guess what I’m saying is, those impulsive things you wanted to do as a kid - see the dinosaur exhibit, play in the fountains with the other kids, lie in the shade for 2 hours - you can do when you’re an adult. You have to deal with a whole lot of other bull, but at least you can indulge your inner 8 year-old.
if i made a video game where you get to pick the gender of the player character i'd make both the options be nonbinary and you can either have they/them or it/its pronouns. those are your only options

Trying out a new eyelash style too, might keep trying that in future ones!

still find that convo I had some months ago with my dad over theoretical callsigns for fun incredibly funny. we agreed mine would be fucking Roadkill because of my deer freeze thing and the fact I’d probably walk straight into a vehicle’s side or something
I love going viral on tumblr.com. It’s like if you stood in a field and said some of the stupidest shit a human being is capable of and then like fifty thousand crows attacked you
