(Aka BigBlueCat) Mixed Origin System of +300 ⍟ Bodily Adult ⍟ ADHD (+ Other NDs and Disabilities) ⍟ Queer ⍟ Alterhuman ⍟ Keep in mind, we're new to Tumblr and very confused by it lmao-
Hello, all! We are the Imagination Constellation system!
We are a mixed origin system of +300 members. We are bodily an adult, collectively queer and alterhuman, and we have ADHD!! Blue/Mossy is the core and is the most frequent fronter, almost always being in front along with (occasionally) the rest of their Subsystem, The Stardust club.
Some other frequent fronters include; Venom, Mothy, Parker, Shirou, and some others~
Some things we all love include art, reading, plants, fishkeeping, and gaming! We’re pretty new to using tumblr, so bare with us! We hardly could find the button to make a post lmao- Hope yall like our blog! :D
This is why if you want people to know your character has long raven-black hair with red streaks and eyes like limpid tears, you need to make sure you say so in your first paragraph. Christ. Imagine someone thinking your character’s a prep.
Since awakening as otherkin, I’ve found that I feel kind of disconnected to my fursona. I feel bad about it since she was my first sona that I made wayyyy back in middle school, when I became a furry.
My kintype, a tortoiseshell cat who is partially an OC (making me technically OCkin), feels like me, at least at a freaquent default. As an OC, I love her so dearly, and I use her as a ‘persona’ in communities where I’m not out as alterhuman. She *is* me, but when it comes to the furry fandom I find myself in a weird place- I no longer feel super connected to my fursona (and that saddens me; it feels like abandoning her), and using *myself*/kintype to represent me in a community where you typically use a character to represent yourself, makes me feel like I’m not participating in the fandom in the way that I want.
Like, I want to use a fursona again, and I want to feel that connection to a fursona again, as well, but when I use my kintype to represent myself, it’s just like looking in a mirror (which is cool! But not what I want to be in the furry fandom). I don’t really know *what* I want, nor how to treat my kintype when in these spaces. It’s hard for me to let go of my fursona, if that’s even what I want to do, and it’s hard to try and make a new one that doesn’t feel like a meaningless mask (I’ve tried to make another main fursona once, and it just felt.. even more disconnected than my other one).
Before awakening as otherkin, my fursona felt like a me that I aspired to be- more confident, more outgoing- but she never really felt like… a mirror. And I think I liked that. I liked the fact that she was a loose version of me that *wasn’t* me. I liked how I could use her in stories and art, going through the things I went through or wanted to go through, while not having it be a 1:1 self-portrait, so to say.
I’m not quite sure how to go forward in this situation. Nor do I know what I want to do with my fursona now. Keep her? Rewrite her to better suit my current ideal self? Try to make a new fursona? I’m not sure. But I’d like to hear what other alterhuman furries have done, or how their alterhumanity has effected their furry identity. Or even just general advice or ideas lol.
So, please, I’d love to hear what you 🫵 have to say, even if you haven’t experienced something like this. It’d be great to hear some feedback of any kind.

hello everyone i’m currently living in a women’s shelter after leaving my abusive family and going no contact. i’ve been approved for benefits but won’t receive anything until i find my own place (deadline april), i’m searching for both work and stable housing, but until then i am struggling to get by and just need help.
i would appreciate anything you can spare and thank you
Here’s the thing I feel like a lot of folks don’t get: I’m not trying to forget what you said. Honestly, I really tried not to. I can’t control what I do and don’t remember—forgetting things just happens. It’s annoying for you, I know, but for me it’s distressing as hell and when you make a big deal out of it rather than just reminding me you make me feel ashamed. I’ll remember that, at least.
It costs you nothing to be kind to people with memory problems. Please. It’s scary enough without people treating memory lapses as a personal failing.
Time to get back in the saddle, folks! It’s time for Yeehawgust year 7 and there are starry skies ahead.
Yeehawgust features daily art prompts as well as alternative weekly prompts, for those of us who are a bit slower on the draw. Don’t draw at all? No problem! Submit any art at all, be it illustration, comics, writing, fanfiction, photography, embroidery, sculpture, music, or whatever other creative endeavors you might enjoy. What matters is that you made it with your own hands, and all skill levels are welcome!
Maybe you love media like Red Dead Redemption and Fallout: New Vegas, or you’re a fan of the western genre. Perhaps you want to see your blorbos in boots and spurs, or put your OCs in a Stetson. Heck, you could just like drawing horses. Whatever the reason, you’re welcome to join in, pardner!
Add #Yeehawgust to your work and follow along here on the Yeehawgust blog. If your post isn’t showing up on the blog or in the tag, just give a holler.

hate when youtubers change the title and thumbnail on an existing video to drive new engagement. this is not my beautiful house this is not my beautiful wife.
AH! My self-insert oc is a paraself that i used to daydream of sooooooo much! It was a deeply intertwined part of my identity for quite a while. Also rumple, Regina, and Ivy have been cooking up in our brain, but I think their fragments have been like “paused” for now.
