Introduction

Heyo! You can call me Tidal or Cosmic and welcome to my main blog. I'll mainly use this space to yap about various intrests of mine, like alterhumanity, plurality, plushies, art and whatever I'm hyperfixating on. My headmates might show up every now and then. More on them below the cut.

Currently hyperfixating on: Project Hail Mary, space

I am an adult, so I may occasionally post about adult topics (#18+). I prefer to stay out of drama aside from maybe sharing my opinion when I feel like it.

Live and let live, I'm not here to tell you what you are or what you can and cannot be. Everyone's welcome here as long as you're not an asshole :D

Alterhuman identities - Northwestern Wolf - Fursonakin - Mink - Ryland Grace (Kintive) Plural Critters Cosmic Critters collectively - Tidal/Wyta (Host, mainly running this account) - Shadow (✷) - Zyler (⚡︎) - Ryland (Δ) - Potential fictives/soulbonds that come and go

What is a system/collective? What is a fictive?

We can argue about the causes of otherkinity 'till the ends of the earth, but the fact of the matter is, if you're nonhuman, you're nonhuman. Your inherent nonhumanity is not stronger if you believe you were born with it, nor is it negated if you believe you chose it. The thing that unites us is not being forced to feel species dysphoria or whatever, it's truly feeling like we're nonhumans living in a human world.

not naming names but some of you are so creative and talented it's an honor to have you in my phone

[shigashimura]

the whole mutual thing is really overhyped on this site. sometimes interests don’t match up and that’s the only reason why there isn’t a mutual following. if you’re a regular in my inbox or my notifications, i have visited your blog before. if i didn’t want you around for any reason, you would be blocked. so yeah. you can spam my notes and/or talk with me (and possibly become my friend) even if i’m not following you back. no worries.

It's kinda sad that when people talk on so many mustelid they focus on them being "killing machine" or being ultra aggressive animals when there's so much more.

Like yeah Honey Badger can be really aggressive and I don't wanna go up against them. Now can we please talk more about how smart they are ? How they use their sense of smell to find prey ? How Silly they can be ?

Same with Wolverine. Everytime I want to learn about them there's an insistance in how aggressive they can be. The fact that they go up against dangerous predators and hold their grown and their very powerfull jaws. But they're also impressive climbers and they can play with their youngs and they have an in crédible sense of smell and they look so adorable !!!

Like. PLEASE don't pretznd they're demon or midnless killing machine or something.

hey ! to anyone questioning their own plurality !

try out the label for a bit, whether it’s with someone you’re close to or just yourself(ves). if you find out you’re plural, yay! if you find out you aren’t, no harm done!

letting myself& try calling ourselves plural is what helped us most during our syscovery. if we never worked up the courage to, we’d probably still be in a doubt spiral

it’s okay. you’re allowed to call yourself plural. you aren’t hurting anyone, even if you find out you aren’t.

self discovery is awesome, one way or another!

I hate being wrong about a kintype. I hate identifying as a species for a few months and then realizing I was not, in fact, that animal. it's so embarrassing because I will go from “look at me! I'm an owl! look at this silly things I do because I'm an owl! look look look!” to, a few months later, being “uhmmm turns out I was wrong... I'm actually maybe another species of bird... 🥺👉🏻👈🏻”

because I will go back to this blog and I will say to my followers: “heyyyy guyyys... remember that animal I've been obsessingly posting about, the one I was so sure was part of my identity... remember all those posts I made about being that creature... turns out I was wrong🧍🏼and faking and role-playing as that animal sorry sorry sorry”. and then I would crawl up in my hole and want to die

I realised that a kintype I was really passionate about was over, and not really fitting. After like 3 years! 😭 Of really passionate times. Later, it really seemed like I just roleplayed all these years..! That identity was formed due to shock and hard times, and when that shock and hard times were over, I realised that there was nothing, nothing left in common now.

But those years, they felt nice at the time. BUT after analyzing, it just felt as the life lied to me, I never was that kintype truly!!😭 That was a temporary coping mechanism! Copinglink? Though I was SO SURE that it meant something more stable. Felt like I lied to myself all these years.

There was an evening, I remember it well, I was mourning this loss... I know now that life isn't monotonous, anything can change, but when you strongly see something so vividly, so passionately, and then it's lost - it really feels like a worldview betrayal... If starting everything with the lighthearted thought like "ah, for sure it will be a short cool time, cause somewhere later my life will change and that part will be over", then where's the point in getting anything passionate. 😔 I really thought that kintype would be stable...

I had a separate sideblog too, where I shared my stories, and what can I do on that blog now? "Hey guys, that person was foolishly fantasizing, pretending, she never was that kintype at heart, that.was.all.false..."

I'm not to simply say "it's valid and okay, everyone's changing, it's cool!" I want to say that I get it, it can be painful to realize, it can hurt. But at the time, we had that period of life where it meant the whole world. I thank those kintype years for helping me. Those times weren't useless. Those times had their own meaning, to make us feel better.

Ngl this is exactly why it usually takes me months to confirm anything. I hate hate hate that feeling cuz being wrong would mean I’d been lying to everyone and myself. And it would mean that I don’t take my identities seriously enough, all of them. Even tho I want people to take me seriously when I say I identify as something.

Thing is, in being so strict for myself, it barely gives me the time to properly explore and “try out” said identity. Sometimes it’s necessary to try out identifying as something for you to see if it actually fits or not. And if it ends up fitting, that’s awesome! But if it doesn’t, that’s okay too! You allowed you to express yourself through that lens, but figured out it isn’t you after all. Cool! You learned something new. Maybe something different will come onto your path that does fit.

We can’t ourselves expect to perfectly know everything ahead of time, and we’re allowed to stumble and experiment. Of course that doesn’t mean that we should be picking up identities left and right either. There’s a balance to be found, like all things in life 💙

Man. Having your own emotions eated by the relevant headmate is so weird when you’re median and/or monoconcious. I remember being you but the things you felt are completely foreign to me now despite knowing they existed and what they were. Hello
