Ayo, I just realized since I haven't been talking here as much lately, if anyone wants to see all my reblogged stuff and watch my fixations develop in real time, I have my spam blog @warm-cat-burrito! Also it's probably a good thing to link it here too instead of just the other way around so that my main looks less like a bot blog 😅
idk if anyone else has done this yet, i feel like it's a pretty obvious combo but i have yet to see it used around the community anywhere else, but uh yeah if this inspires u at all go crazy with it ig 👍
I'm probably never gonna write this story so y'all can have the fake summary I wrote and do whatever you want:
"Midoriya didn't mean to switch dimensions. When you're just doing your job and trying to stop a villain, your first thought isn't that they have a dimension-hopping quirk! But now he's somewhere in America, in a world without quirks. And as if that's not bad enough, One for All is starting to act strangely...
Meanwhile, Tory and Ben are having a hard time raising a Viral child. It's hard enough making sure a baby eats, drinks, and doesn't kill itself without adding wolf powers into the mix. So when they came back to South Carolina to meet up with Hiram and Shelton, they thought they'd finally be able to relax. Unfortunately, the place has different plans for them, and the rumors of a superpowered vigilante are just begging to be investigated...
Aka: Midoriya Izuku is transported into the world of Virals and (accidentally!) becomes a vigilante. The Virals band together to find out who's saving people and glowing with green lightning in the middle of the night. Tory and Ben's baby is very cute and feral."
A silly funsie thing of my very rough, loose interpretation of alterhuman identities (just a couple of them) in a limited 2D visual representation.
Really, alterhumanity is probably 5D+ motion madness. At the very least, I'd imagine that constel is going around like its namesake.

(that grammar was weird, ugh. I donno how to fix it)
Terms below cut.
Likeness - What's on the tin, whatever you "share a likeness with".
archive.md/2023.10.30-142647/https://extranth.tumblr.com/post/680195890861998080/okay-so-this-is-my-coining-but-again-its-not
Simile - "A simile (in the context of alterhuman identity) is a character, animal, concept, or object, which reflects or otherwise represents who you are, without actually being a part of your identity. A simile may be described as a metaphor for who you are."
Vaguetype[1][2] - An alterhuman identity that may fall into multiple categories, or if one has uncertainty or simply prefers not to define what all goes into a single identity.
Archetropy - An identity in which one performs the role, the title, the trope, or the narrative space one occupies and embodies.
Cameo (Shift) - A shift not of one's 'type.
otherkin.wiki/wiki/Shifting
'Flicker - A brief, temporary identity. Flags.
Hearthome - "A place, whether real or imagined, to which a being has a deep and meaningful emotional connection, considering it their 'home.' This connection is strong, even if the being has not been raised or spent a significant amount of time in that particular location."
Paratype - "an identity facet that only exists in relation to a preestablished identity". Up-to-date reading here at Poppy’s website poppyhapalopus.neocities.org/alterhuman/essays/definingparatypes
Kardiatype - A past life [in] which [your] experiences had such an impact on you that it [wholly or partly] formed your core identity and personality, even to this day, [but] … you [DON’T] identify as the being from your past life anymore.
A panel on kardiatype presented by @noodledragonsoup and I can be found here youtu.be/71dXVAsq-_E?si=BQg0mMBc2GK0LO93
Constelic - Individuals "take on or adopt an identity, or multiple identities, throughout their lifetime. People who are constelic may have any number of adopted identities, and it may fluctuate in count or intensity. These adopted identities aren't usually there at birth, instead being discovered at any point later in their life. These adopted identities aren't always permanent, but they can last a very, very long time. "
Heartedness - Identifying with something instead of as. To fully understand what that abstractness entails, I highly recommend reading Part I of Poppy's Simile essay.
Synpath - Something you identify with on several levels, which could be a concept that resonates really strongly with you, an animal or mythological creature you feel you act like, or a person or character you share a lot of common behaviors with, among other things. This often is used in synonymous to heartedness, but many do use it differently than hearttype.
'Linked - A intentionally made connection towards an identity, and can be later dropped as needed or desired. Usually, people only link identify-as identities, but there are folks like me who go beyond and link all sorts of alterhuman identities on the spectrum.
web.archive.org/web/20180325235532/http://victiim-of-changes.tumblr.com/post/170162038800/otherlinkers-are-not-kin-but-voluntary
I'm also avoiding the usage of "voluntary" because that's a whole mess within the community. A linked identity is the connection that you intentionally bridged, that's it.
Kinity - In which one identifies as a nonhuman species or character.
otherkin.wiki/wiki/Otherkin
Therianthropy - In which one identifies as an animal.
Essentially the same as being otherkind or fictionkind, just of different focus.
Just in case, therian does mean any species that has animality within.

It's been a while, it got taken off of Hulu so I had to steal a friend's Disney+ account, but I finally finished Gravity Falls a couple weeks ago!! It was so good 🥹
I don't know if anyone else feels this way but I've kinda had to step a bit back from my nonhumanity as I've gotten older? I had a really weird group of friends in high school and could be myself, but part of college is about learning to get along with a variety of people and coming headfirst with my nonhumanity kinda scared folks away (not to mention that I'm queer and trans and black, I already seem strange). I have a friend group but I've gotten into the habit of toning down "being a therian" to "I'm a furry" at this point. I've been trying to get a little more back in touch with my nonhuman side recently tho to make up for it.
Y'all, I thought my faceblindness wasn't too bad but I watched a drag race show with some friends a while back and I had NO idea who anyone was! They would talk behind the scenes and I'd be like, "okay, this person has blue hair, this person dresses like that" and then all of that would go out the window during performances and I was completely lost T-T
This might be a stupid question but what are xenopronouns. Every time i try to look them up i just find 'pronouns unperceived/unpronounceable by humans' and never any examples
So like if you use xenopronouns. What do you actually use?
I also kinda have no idea? I found on this website an example of meow/purr pronouns (but when substituted for an actual meow/purr sound, not just the words):
Not to be confused with neopronouns. Xenopronouns are a type of neopronouns that are described as not being able to be understood by humans
I'm curious if emojiself and emoticon pronouns would also count as xenopronouns since you can't (easily) pronounce them!
If anyone else knows how to explain xenopronouns, that would be much obliged!
I wonder if you can guess which online platform someone spends the most time on by how they write emphasis when texting? Like I do *this* but that's cause that's how you italicize on Discord. And I've also seen -this-, \this\, and ~this~ across the internet
