Just a liar with wings

[corethet]

Corethet.

30s.

Angelkin.

Agender. I don't care what pronouns you use for me.

This is a sideblog. I don't want to mention my main by name, because it's a username I use everywhere and I don't want this blog to be easily found by people who don't know I'm kin (or agender). So: I like and follow from a blog with a beach as the header image (feel free to message me if you're unsure).

Does anyone else experience something like... Emotional dysphoria? I am meant to be graceful, to feel lightly, to be removed. Not to be controlled, for that implies something intense that needs to be tamed -- to feel un-intensely, and thus not need taming.

Instead, I'm at the mercy of this body's synapses and chemistry. "Controlled" is a good day.

I'm in the middle of a wing shift that's lasted for a couple of hours already and shows no signs of abating. It isn't the most comfortable, especially since one feels injured (woah, I just realized I've never had that with a shift before).

But I hardly ever experience shifts so it's also kind of nice.

Angels in baggy jeans and t-shirts smoking cigarettes. Angels with prescriptions they need to go pick up. Angels returning library books. Angels taking afternoon strolls to the grocery store. Angels in urban spaces. Angels learning to fit their wings into their small apartment bedrooms. Angels making their partners coffee and breakfast every morning. Angels existing and seamlessly blending divinity into the mundane.

Affirmations for the unsure alterhumans and maybehumans:

You can still be alterhuman even if you acknowledge parts or all of your humanity.

You can still be alterhuman even if you find comfort in human rituals, culture, etc.

You can still be alterhuman even if you display human behaviors and characteristics.

You can still be alterhuman if you look or act nothing like your 'type.

You can still be alterhuman without dysphoria, euphoria, or both.

You can still be alterhuman even if you never plan to transition or present physically or socially as alterhuman.

You can still be alterhuman without blowing hundreds of thousands of dollars on gear.

You can still be alterhuman even if you aren't queer (surprisingly common misconception by the way!)

You can still be alterhuman even if you don't find the furry community appealing.

You can still be alterhuman even if there weren't 'signs' of alterhumanity in your childhood.

You can still be alterhuman even if you find aspects of alter/nonhumanity uncomfortable or scary (and this may change as you discover yourself!)

You can still be 100% alterhuman and 100% human at the same time.

You can still be alterhuman without misanthropy.

You can still be alterhuman without a spiritual connection to nature or a religion pertaining to nature.

Even if you aren't alterhuman, it's okay to be human.

Even if you aren't alterhuman forever, it's okay to recognize your humanity afterwards.

No seriously, it's okay to be human in some aspects or all aspects.

You don't have to constantly strive to be the 'most nonhuman thing possible' and you don't have to try and reinvent the wheel coming up with a new term thats 'more nonhuman' or 'further than humanity' than the last.

There are infinite ways to be alterhuman and you may never find a term to define yourself. You might not even find a species to label yourself as.

On the same coin you may find that your experience is painfully common, or not 'original' enough to warrant a 'true' experience. You have to remember that it's okay to be one of the gazillion black wolf psychological therians out there and that it is functionally the same (and has the same moral weight) as having brown eyes.

It's okay to be unlabeled.

It's okay if you wouldn't be considered alterhuman by the old standards from the days when alterhumanity was mostly on independent forum boards.

Grills and grilling aren't relevant anymore and it's better to block people that try to bring that back.

But it is never okay to lie to yourself to fit into a box that's too small for you.

not all angels are in heaven !

for example i am at a gas station getting monster

I can confirm as an Angel currently walking around Pompeii drinking a redbull . ;3

[corethet]

I'm imagining this as a very suspect ad on a tabloid news site. "Angel gets her wings back with one weird trick!"

And love will keep me tethered

For my wings are stripped of flight...

The Bagger 288 is such an amazing yet terrifying thing.

In terms of ambiental health, this... Abomination of metal and wires is a devastating wound bleeding on the side of Mother Nature. Simply crafting such a machine is already a sin against God's Green Earth, let alone feeding it the rivers of oil it takes to shatter and dig through the land until it becomes a devastated desert of gray.

Yet, it's the living will of hubris of humanity. The zenith of our constant hunger for God's blood, a paragon to how it's never sufficient, how it must go higher, bigger, until it becomes a gargantuan artifact that's completely beyond the mind of our ancestors. How would explain this thing to a nobleman from half a millennia ago? A metal colossus that does more labour than a hundred thousand miners and is tall enough to block the Sun.

It's THE monument to industrialism, to how far our hands will reach towards both scientific progress and ravaging our world 'till it becomes dust. It's both terrifying yet awe-inducing, so almighty yet so needlessly hurtful. I can't think of anything better to represent the height of humanity's achievements and, in perfect tandem, hunger.
