other notes: Line 1 replaces the second dactyl with a trochee. There is arguably a caesura after the second foot of each line: it’s the point at which the line 1 irregularity occurs and it’s often a sense break.
in cases you needed a reminder, it's fine to change your mind about your identity. identity is a social construct, the "rules" are entirely made up. also no one except yourself can dictate what or who you are
disability that makes me almost faint when i stand up, makes my heart rate all fucked up, and gives me chronic pain? no that's just the symptoms of being a mermaid on land obviously. the reason why salt makes my symptoms better is because i'm used to saltwater OBVIOUSLY
i got my nose pierced recently and i need to clean it with saline spray, which is just medical grade saltwater, and sometimes it drips onto my lips and i taste it on accident and i think that might be some of the oddest species euphoria ive experienced yet
a new kid at my school wears tails and it gave me the confidence to wear mine, assuming i would get bullied, but literally nobody cares. huh.
for the record i go to a really small school with a high autistic and queer population so they tend to be more accepting, but still. it's weird!! in a good way!!
Nooo....that "weird and uncanny" feeling you're getting from me is not because I'm autistic and masking, it's because I'm secretly a werewolf...totally the case!
yes! they will see it! usually when speaking to someone in tags we reblog with their tags and say "#<- prev" then our own comment. excuse my crude drawing but for example:
Critters, beasts, concepts and alterhumans of all kinds- I came up with an idea.
May I present to you:
The alterhuman biodiversity report
Since the haters say that we all are either wolf or fox therians, I’m going to make a list of all the species (and not only) I encounter in the community. I’m going to pin this post and update it every time I meet someone with a new/different identity.
Also, you can DM me, send me asks, repost or comment if you want your identity to be added. I’ll try to include everyone but it’s probably going to take me some time, so if I don’t add you right away, don’t worry, it’s just going to take me a bit ;)
IMPORTANT!!
The only requirement to be on the list is to make clear the exact species you are. That’s because I want to make the list as full of variety as possible. For instance, if you tell me that you’re a parrot therian, I won’t add you unless you tell me the exact species (ex. Hyacinth Macaw).
At the bottom I’ll tag those who I included in this list (cannot tag more than 50 ppl but I’ll still tag those included symbolically). I won’t do it if the user is not ok with it, of course. I’ll try to be careful and look at your blog before tagging you, but if I accidentally tag you/add you on the list without your will then DM me so I’ll remove you).
The colored creatures are my theriotypes/kintpes.
I warn you. The list is going to be long.

kinning two wildly different creatures is weird because even if i could shapeshift i would never truly feel like myself. the idea of having scales makes part of me euphoric and another part dysphoric
