Here’s some positivity for nonhuman (extranth) heavy systems!
Within systems, there can be so much diversity even among headmates! And it’s true that for many systems, all or most of their members are nonhuman in some way, shape, or form. This post is for all the nonhuman-heavy systems out there!
🐶 Shoutout to systems with members who are otherkin, copinglink, alterhuman, otherhearted, or identify as nonhuman in other ways!
🐛 Shoutout to headmates who are avian, amphibian, reptile, aquatic, invertebrate, alien, or other kinds of headmates who are often unrepresented in nonhuman spaces!
🐯 Shoutout to systems who have trouble understanding human language, culture, customs, or ways of life!
🦇 Shoutout to systems whose nonhuman-ness stems from psychosis, delusions, trauma, or something else that causes them difficulty in life!
🐰 Shoutout to systems who are collectively nonhuman, made up entirely of nonhumans, or have a nonhuman singletsona!
🐿 Shoutout to systems with lots of headmates who are introjects of objects or who are inanimate objects of any sort!
🌳 Shoutout to systems with lots of nonhumans who are plants, fungi, coral, sponges, or other sedentary creatures!
🧚♀️ Shoutout to systems with many members who are fairies, elves, vampires, angels, demons, dwarves, or other human-like creatures which are still nonhuman!
🐙 Shoutout systems with members who love being nonhuman and embrace their nonhuman-ness in different ways!
🐹 Shoutout to systems with members who are questioning if they may or may not be nonhuman!
🐈⬛ Shoutout to systems with lots of canid, dragon, or feline headmates! Your worth is not any less because you are a “common” nonhuman!
🪲 Shoutout to nonhuman heavy systems with members who don’t like being nonhuman, or whose nonhuman experiences are disordered!
🐬 Shoutout to headmates who have always been nonhuman, and to headmates who became nonhuman later in life!
We hope that each of you can find peace, comfort, and joy in your nonhuman identities. Life as a nonhuman may not always be easy, but it can be wonderful having your identity as something other than human affirmed by those in your life. We hope that every nonhuman reading this will be accepted unconditionally by their system and those who surround them!
Please remember that your physical appearance does not have to define you. It’s okay to wake up one day and decide you’re not a human anymore, or have never been one! And having a nonhuman heavy system does not make your system any less valid or make you any less of a vital member of the plural community. We hope you and your system can find ways to affirm each other’s nonhuman natures, and can learn to grow together and celebrate each other as the creatures and objects you are!
