𐔌՞. .՞𐦯 Introduction post

────୨ৎ────

Hello! I am Forrest. I am a trans man, gay, asexual, xenogender, otherkin, autistic, age regressor, yumeshipper, and Hellenist.

I don’t plan on posting much, if at all, but if I do it will most likely be stream of consciousness posts. I mostly lurk and am not well versed in the social rules of Tumblr, so sorry if I preform some ancient faux pas.

I will expand on my identities, hobbies, interests, religion, DNI, etc. below. I understand that it is a lot, and do not require you to read it in the slightest. This is simply there for those who desire it.

────୨ৎ────

꒰ྀི১ ໒꒱ིྀ Sideblog stuff

I want this blog to remain mostly about my otherkin experience, so I have multiple other sideblogs for things such as my yumeshipping, age/pet regression, fictionmarrowed experiences, and my more 18+ thoughts/experiences. Feel free to follow those if you find them interesting, I suppose.

────୨ৎ────

જ⁀➴ Gender/pronoun stuff

I collect and identify as many genders, to the extent that I cannot list them all here. However, I will list some of my main identities below:

⤷ Male

⤷ Boy+

⤷ Aminogender

⤷ Bloomboy

⤷ Technbodiment

⤷ Postgirl

⤷ Sunboy

⤷ Juparian

⤷ Selachiine

⤷ Muttgender

⤷ Dollboy

⤷ Angelgender

Similarly, I identify with many pronouns, but mainly use he/him, it/its, and doll/dolls on myself, so you may use those as well. I do also use many more pronouns (pup/vamp/mew/co/alto/star/plush/fir/thou, etc.) so feel free to mess around with those, though do not feel obligated to.

────୨ৎ────

₍^. .^₎⟆ Otherkin stuff

My kintypes (and heart-types) are as listed below:

⟢ Ball-jointed dollkin

⟢ Robot/techkin

⟢ Nonreligious angelkin

⟢ Ghoskin

⟢ Necrokin

⟢ Aviankin

⟢ KTM motocross bikekin

⟢ Fictionmarrow

⟢ Felis catus cladotherian

⟢ Grey husky therian

⟢ German shepherd therian

⟢ Vampirehearted

⟢ Crowhearted

⟢ Sunhearted

⟢ Sinhearted

It’s a lot, I know, but it’s me. In general, I identify as non-human and prefer not to be called human, though I cannot change the way people speak about me. I identify wholly and personally as each of my kintypes, and do not prescribe to the idea of being a “normal” or socially acceptable otherkin. If people cannot understand me for who and what I am, then so be it.

────୨ৎ────

꒰ᐢ. .ᐢ꒱ Hobby/interest stuff

My hobbies/interests—the ones that will be seen on this account, at least—are as listed below:

────୨ৎ────

૮ • ﻌ - ა⁩ Religion stuff

I am a Hellenist/Hellenic pagan. I worship the Greek pantheon and my religion is a part of everything I do. I am a personal devotee to Apollon; I have an altar to him in my living space and devote my very existence to him.

I do not support religions discrimination. People of all faiths are welcome here, as long as they are respectful. I do understand not wishing people of certain religions or faiths to interact with oneself, and I will not push such boundaries.

────୨ৎ────

ᓚᘏᗢ DNI stuff

My DNI is not about hate, but about who I am comfortable interacting with. I block freely if necessary.

× Homophobic/transphobic — this includes biphobia, aphobia, etc., as well as those who encourage queer infighting and those who police “contradictory” identities

× Racism of any flavor — respect your neighbors and work on your bigotry

× Pedo/Zoophilia — I feel this should be obvious, but if you are a proud pedo/zoo (this includes autozoophilia and loli/shota shit) get the hell away from me. If you’re working on recovery and removing harmful urges, good on you. I’d still rather you not follow me, but I wish you luck in your journey. If you look at a being that cannot consent, fictional or otherwise, and have any fantasy or intention of assaulting it I hope you get help when possible

× Against good-faith xenogenders and xeno/neopronouns

× Against any form of non-humanity — including physical alterhumans, otherkin/alterhumans who experience delusions, and other such “decisive” beings

× DDLG, DDLB, etc. accounts — I don’t care what you do in the bedroom, but I do not want to see it

× Conservatives/republicans — I am American and the decision made by the republican party to support and vote for a fascist president is actively harming me

× Those who demonize or discriminate against sex workers

× Proana/self-harm accounts — I understand the pain you are going through and that you are seeking community, but I am a recovered anorexic and sober from a self-harm addiction, so seeing the hurt that once haunted me is something I would rather avoid

× Proship/profiction — I understand that Tumblr has a large profic community, so let me say this here: I am anti-harassment, but I am not pro-allowing-people-to-engage-publicly-in-harmful-behaviors. There is a line between harassing someone and expressing that what they are doing is harmful. It is not the representation of abuse and other such harm that irks me, but the glorification and enjoyment of it. If that is what it takes to get you off, I ask that you do not interact with me

× Radqueer/those transIDs — this does not include transspecies (sorry y’all get lumped in with them) and obviously does not involve transgender identities. If you support harmful identities or any of that “transharmed, transabuser, transracial, etc.” do not interact

I may also block for reasons not listed here, but these are the main interaction barriers. General hate and public shaming of anything one deems “cringe” is typically where I draw the line.

────୨ৎ────

( ´ཀ` ) Tag stuff

I will use a few tags/hashtags to mark certain types of posts. I’ll do my best to be consistent with this, but I may miss a few.

𓆃 forrest rants - rant posts, typically angry

𓆃 forrest whines - vent/complaining posts, usually more somber than angry

𓆃 forrest puppy posts - puppy posting

𓆃 forrest found something - pics or descriptions of objects I found/collected

𓆃 forrest made something - pics or descriptions of objects I made

𓆃 forrest does fandoms - fandom posts

𓆃 forrest otherkin posts - posts about specific otherkin identities

𓆃 forrest religion posts - posts about religion/pertaining mention of my religion

𓆃 forrest yaps - general posts, doesn’t fall into another category, probably yapping

𓆃 forrest reblogs - reblog posts

────୨ৎ────

૮ ◞ ﻌ ◟ ა Content warning stuff

I will talk about some things here that may be upsetting. I will tag any content I believe could be triggering with the respective warning tags, but I will put here some of the more common topics—particularly those that I will not tag for one reason or another

∘ ∘ ∘ Sexuality and sexual discomfort — I will talk about my discomfort with sex and sexuality, my asexuality, and my celibacy on this blog, typically in reference to how my alterhumanity affects my experiences

∘ ∘ ∘ Food — I will talk openly about food and post photos of said food. These posts will not be tagged with a content warning

∘ ∘ ∘ Past and present mental health issues — I may bring up my past issues with self-harm, suicidal ideation, and disordered eating. I will in no way glorify this time of my life but may discuss it in reference to how those experiences affect me now, both mentally and physically

∘ ∘ ∘ Death — as a necrokin, ghostkin, and angelkin, death will be a common topic of discussion here, and thus will not be tagged with a content warning unless I find it particularly necessary

∘ ∘ ∘ Discrimination — I openly discuss my experiences being discriminated against due to my gender, sexuality, disability, etc. I will not tag these discussions with a warning unless they are particularly disturbing

∘ ∘ ∘ Caps/cursing — this is my blog and I will type how I wish. There will be no tags for text in all caps or for inappropriate language

────୨ৎ────

ʚ₍ᐢ. .ᐢ₎ɞ Other stuff

A massive “thank you” is owed to anyone who read this much. I did not write this with the expectation that it be read—only that it be here and available should it be needed. Below I will list a few other things about me that did not fit the above criteria:

༄ I am autistic and not very good with tone through text. My written voice tends to fluctuate often, though try not to assume malice in any harsh wording. I tend to write as I speak: directly. I will express if I am truly upset. Due to my issues with text I am likely not to respond to DMs, as I struggle to find a proper response

༄ I have PoTS, and flareups—as well as burnout—can cause me to be inactive for long periods of time

༄ I prefer to keep personal information to myself, so will not disclose much beyond what I have stated here

Again, thank you to anyone who has read this far. This platform is a nice escape from the vitriol of everyday life, and I appreciate everyone who comes here to post, interact, or simply lurk.

If I say, “I am at one time all I have ever been and all I will ever be,” I’m “deep” and “profound”.

But if I say, “I am an ageless being that exists in multiple timelines and thus am a collection of each past, present, and future possible to myself,” I’m “crazy” and “need help”.

Okay. Sure.

Sorry for my extended absence (｡ᵕ ◞ _◟)

My family went on vacation recently and all the travel and movement sent me into an awful flare up, so I’ve had very little energy lately. But I’m going to do my best to catch up on the niche kin appreciation posts!

⤷ Share 5 fun facts about your kin

⟡ Post

KTM is an Austrian motor sports brand that was founded in 1934 by Hans Trunkenpolz

KTM’s signature orange color, hex code #FF6600 (which I just call ‘KTM orange’) debuted in the early 1990s as a subversion of average motorbike coloring

Though the leading dirt bike manufacturers today are Japanese, dirt bikes’ origins are traced back to the UK, with modern motocross seemingly starting with the 1909 Auto Cycle quarterly trial event

The world fastest handlebar-mounted wheelie (125.93 mph) and the longest distance traveled sitting backwards on a motorcycle (190.14 miles) were set by the same man, Magnus Carlsson, and were both performed on KTM bikes—a KTM 1290 Super Duke and a KTM 390 Duke, respectively

KTM has so far claimed eight AMA Supercross Championships with four on the KTM 450 SX-F Factory Edition and four on the KTM 250 SX-F Factory Edition, as well as four AMA Pro Motocross titles with three in the 450 class and one in the 250 class

Bonus fact: my personal favorite racer, Eli Tomac, joined the KTM team this season on a 450 SX-F :D

ᯓ★ Niche kin appreciation: Day 2

⤷ Make a playlist for your kin

⟡ Post

I’ve never made a KTM motocross bikekin playlist before (or even a vehiclekin playlist, for that matter), so this one took some thinking. I tend to be pretty literal with my playlists, but I definitely had to branch out for this one. Was still incredibly hard to find songs for that weren’t very specific to my personal experience, as I wanted it to be a broader motocross bikekin playlist. Anyway, I hope y’all enjoy what I was able to scrounge up!

Now playing: Race Day

TO ALL THE FAUNA OF THE ALTERHUMAN COMMUNITY! I invite you to partake in a fun excersize list I made!

Some backstory first, I am someone who could be classified as a chronic procrastinator, got executive dysfunction, and at times adhd paralysis/shutdown from overload of information, and as such struggled to find motivation to do the ordinary excersizes of 'do some squats, do a push up, go carry some weights' no matter the benefits as they always seemed unclear, uninspiring, boring, and confusing, and so I felt like they were beyond me, so I never did any. That was until I realised that 'hey, any movement is excersize! How about we make it fun?' so, with some experimentation, and free for interpretation, I wanted to make a game-like excersize list for therians/otherkin/alterhumans, based primarily on earthly creatures, but totally open for any and all beings!!

TW for #8 for animal harm mention, specifically of prey, as this is intended for those with prey drive, such as predators and hunting-inclined beasts. ALSO 'paws' used instead of the word 'hands', so be aware.

Now, the immersion!!

Any and all creature must be reintroduced to the wild gradually and with supervision after an extended period of time isolated from the same species and natural habitat, so to help in unlearning domestication and such, here is a collection of simple, non-demanding, yet fun physical activities to enjoy with no gear, equipment, or special items necessary other than some space and your paws n claws at the ready!

Feel free to increase or decrease the difficulty level as preferred, keeping it still within a comfortable range for you and encouraging. If you try take on too much all at once, you will get none of it done, so take it step by step, and do not feel upset or guilty if you struggle on one or more of these. You can pick and choose which to do, as they are in no particular order, and you may do all if you feel inspired as such. Be free to go off the script too, if you find something that works better for you, as every individual is unique and has their own needs and requirements!

Stretch towards the sun! Any being under our beloved Sol would surely enjoy the presence of the star's heat, just like a lizard or cat might, so either outside or inside, go onto your tippy-toes and stretch as far as you can, the tips of your paws pointed to the sky. Do this for no longer than 5-10 seconds, take a light rest, and repeat for a few times. I suggest repeating it for however many hours in the day have already passed. If 7am, then seven times. If noon, then 12. if 4pm, then either 4 - or 16, your pick.

Horseplay! Starting on the ground, roll onto your stomach, and then onto your back, alternating evenly, and doing so while trying to minimise the use of your limbs - like a wolf cub playing with their mother, or perhaps a chinchilla taking a dust bath. Repeat however often you want, I suggest maybe 3-8 times.

Warily drink from a watering hole. Crouching low to the ground, preferably on all fours, mime the gesture of taking a nice refreshing drink after a long and warm day, while periodically stretching up to full height, still keeping all limbs set in place, and bow back down to the water. Like a gazelle or perhaps zebra, you are allowing yourself you replenish your internal water supply while also being at the ready for anything that may come your way. Repeat 2-5 times.

Forage! Taking something small yet recognisable - a marble, pinecone, coin, or bright rock - toss it behind you into a small grassed area (ensuring there are no spikey or poisonous plants directly in your vicinity), and search for it on all fours, engaging your heightened senses like a sniffing dog or even a hedgehog! Do this for as many times as you want, until bored.

Forage 2. Find a plant nearby (flower, shrub, bush, tree) and take a sample (leaf/bud/stem) or picture, and using visual cues, identify it to an online or library-borrowed guide on your local wildlife, and if interested, go further by finding out some basic information such as which animals eat it or how it is used in the world (such as dandelions being made into coffee, nettles into tea, blackberries into jam). You can do this once or twice.

There are over 1,000,000 species of insects in the world, and many more which have not been discovered. Go outside and find just one, you do not have to know its name, but simply observe its existence. Witness it exist amongst the world that you do too, and appreciate its presence. Well, if you are an anteater, I suppose ants are much more than just pretty..

Scout out your territory! Wolves can travel around 30 miles a day, and it is essential to be constantly assessing the land for anything that may have shown up - both for opportunities of play and food, but also to be aware of any dangers. Go out into your local park or perhaps walk around your street, being mindful on observing everything that is going on, the little details, the scents present, and anything new that may have appeared from the last time you were there. It can be 5 minutes of 50, it is entirely up to you and what you feel comfortable with.

Disembowel your prey! Capturing your imaginary prey, perhaps using a pillow or stuffed animal for immersion, mime out the gesture of tearing into it and pawing out its guts, letting yourself take on the role of a predator feeding itself, such as a leopard or even a vulture. Do this twice, each time letting yourself act out with whichever hunger or urgency that may show up or potentially be felt.

Bonus one, get a pizza (either storebought and tossed into the oven from frozen or bought elsewhere) and without slicing nor tearing it into pieces, eat the whole thing with your paws. Enjoy digging in and getting messy while figuring out the best way to go through it in the manner that optimises delicious bites throughout.

Sit outdoors for 5-15 minutes and enjoy the sounds and feeling of the ever changing world. Take a few moments to watch the clouds, knowing that exact pattern is unlikely to ever be seen by anyone else again. Enjoy the fresh air, and simply be undisturbed. Alot of clarity can come out of it, and it is no surprise tortoises live that long, they must be wanting to get the most out of their presence here after all!

Prance around like a newborn lamb! Taking a wide circle in any open space/area such as a field or garden, skip either clockwise or anticlockwise - later changing direction, to your heart's content! Do it for maybe 3-5 laps, or for 2-4 minutes. Once more, remember you can do it for longer or shorter if you so want.

Perch like a bird watching over the world below. Finding a small ledge to stand upon - perhaps a garden wall, or even an item such as a book you placed on the ground - stand with one or two legs on it, and balance there for as long as you can. You can crouch or stand. Keep this up for at least a couple of minutes, and with that, you can call it a job well done!

I posted it seperate as the prior post on my blog so check that out if you want.

A smaller insight to the practical side of things.

Helps your spine and muscles reset and reach their full capacity, ensuring they are in working condition and ready for the next day with just as much vigour.

Something that helps the core/sides, aswell as giving you the ability to pretend like you're a little critter just having fun.

It is a stretching excersize, one that is inspired by knee push-ups and the downward dog and puppy pose in yoga. The back is engaged and potentially the arms, yet ofcourse, the benefit resides in how you do it, and no matter what, you are still excersizing in a fun and creative way.

This helps engage the mind in a more stimulating manner, similar to how some people ensure their smart canine friends such as belgian malinois and german shepherds stay happy and mentally engaged.

This brings awareness to the world around aswell as being a way to get closer to nature, a fun little fact and some general knowledge can go a long way!

This is just interesting and also, like above, helps get you to notice the small things in life (litterally) and may inspire greater feelings.

A walk, in any case, is good for the legs and all muscles there pretty much, and being observant like this is even more beneficial!

This is just a fun little thing I thought about and which had honestly created this whole list anyways. It can engage some instincts or emotional expression that may otherwise feel repressed or restricted, and you wouldn't know you missed it so much until you felt the thrill of the kill, even pretend, below your fangs, heheh.

This I personally do often and it just is a bit of whimsy.

Actually is meditative and can go quite a long way, encouraged by many, and helps you feel more in the moment, happier, and fulfilled. It gets rid of the constant rush you may feel in life and instead lets you focus on what truly matters - simply being alive and here.

Ah, was inspired by the lambs I have seen. Also, we need to keep that child-like joy to the world alive! Let yourself prance and gallop and frollick and skip and jump and run about! You are deserving of it!!

Good for the central point of gravity and helping your mind work on something that may be unusual for it in normal circumstances, you have alot of processes and muscles that are engaged in merely keeping you upright, just so you know.

I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THIS AND FELT INTERESTED!! IF YOU DID ANY OF THIS OR HAVE YOUR SAY/SUGGESTIONS/CRITICISM, FEEL FREE TO GIVE A SHOUT TO ME!! :)))) Have a good lifetime, dear friend!!

You enjoy being creative, from baking to painting to even sewing. Creativity fuels you and makes you able to succeed, and everyone around you appreciates and loves it.

ᯓ★ Niche Kin Appreciation: Day 1

⤷ Introduce your kin

⟡ Post

I’m going to use these 30 days to celebrate my nichest kintype: KTM motocross bike-kin. I suppose I coined the term as I’ve never seen it anywhere before, though I can’t help but hope these are others out there like me.

I am specifically a KTM bike built for motocross. That is my one purpose. I was meant to compete on the world stage. I never got that far.

I cannot pin down my exact make and model, because I quite frankly don’t want to sit here reading schematics for bikes barely different from one another until my eyes glaze over.

I am most likely a 450 SX-F, but that’s as far as I’m going to push myself for specifics. I consider all KTM motocross bikes family, so I’m not super pressed to box myself in, so to speak.

I discovered this kintype while viewing an AMA supercross race in person. Though I’d seen similar bikes do similar jumps since I was quite young, this time felt different. I was more in tune with myself and my feelings, and I realized rather quickly that what I was feeling was not envy toward the racers, but toward the bikes. I saw them move—saw them jump—and I knew I was meant to do the same. Suddenly my connection to my bikes made sense. The way I felt their pain and refused to let them go after I had outgrown them. I am one of them.

Figuring out I am a KTM was rather simple. I’ve always had a draw to KTM that I never felt toward any other type of bike. I also knew just from watching those bikes move that I was a motocross bike. It is both what I was made for and what I should be doing. But I am not in the health needed to go that far. I’m retired, now a viewer rather than a competitor. But I don’t mind. Watching my brothers take gold makes me almost as happy as claiming it for myself.

[omensofatimelord]

Now that pornhub released statistics showing that a significant number of cis women seek out porn of trans men under pretty fetishistic and transphobic names, can we finally admit that the rise in the amount of explicit gay fanfic/fan art/head cannons where the bottom is depicted as a trans man is fetishistic?

[canine-online]

[bird-in-a-forrest]

It smells like dog food in my house right now. I’m pretty sure it’s the crockpot but I can’t explain how excited I get when I imagine a can of wet dog food waiting for me.

I’ve tried to before—multiple times. It tastes good. I want so desperately to eat it. But it makes me feel ill. My vessel just isn’t built to handle what my soul so desperately craves.

[r0sh11]

MY HONEST OPINION

[bird-in-a-forrest]

So close, tumblr. I would actually rather die! But good try! You’re doing terrible but at least you’re trying!

In other news, is there any way to block a community? Because I don’t want them to be there every time I go to the search bar.
