Doubles and sourcmates are fine. Just don't treat me like you know me personally (unless you do) just based on my source and you're good. All good faith identities are welcome.
-----
I will not censor myself for you. I will probably also call you out on your bullshit if needed. If you can't handle discourse, block the warning tags in the tag list--I'll be posting a lot of it.

Love all you freaks and creatures and weird people. Keep being you.
Hey. I'm Shrapnel, though you can also call me by my url or any variation of source names, I don't care really. I use he/him, I'm demiromantic and bi. The body is an adult and so am I so if you don't like that, don't follow. I showed up in our system after we had a dream (that I can't even remember) so my origin is a whole question mark, but I'm here now and I front a lot, so I get a blog.
I'm terrorpunk, pro good-faith identities/contradictory labels, anti-psych, disabled, queer and alterhuman. I'll post a lot about shit that makes me mad here and will probably get into discourse--check the warning tags for what to block if you need.
More under the readmore if you want it.

Alterhuman Stuff
I'm alterhuman, like the rest of my system. Gonna put this in dot point form so it's simple.
I'm a member of the @interstellarsystem -- quoigenic, professionally diagnosed with DID, and a whole lot of fictives.
I'm a fictive of Bakugo from My Hero Academia. Don't be weird about it. Doubles are fine, sourcemates are fine, but don't act like you know me because you know the source or another me.
i'm dragonkin. I'm a small wyvern that behaves similar to a kingfisher bird in terms of hunting. I believe this 'type is from a past life.
My hearttype is sylvesqual from Creatures of Sonaria on Roblox. I also have a pet one in-sys, his name is Arson.
I'm Satoru Gojo (Jujutsu Kaisen) fictionkind. This might also be a flicker but oh well. It's there and it hasn't left for a while. This one might be more psychological.
I'm also Great Izuchi fictionkind from Monster Hunter. Psychological.
Aaaand I'm also Tanjiro Kamado from Demon Slayer. I have absolute/berserker shifts of this identity quite often. I just straight up forget where I am. Oops. This one is also a past life.
On a system-wide scale, we're Hunter (The Owl House) fictionkin, a corvus (the genus of birds) therian, planthearted, birdhearted, and we have some hearthomes. You can look at our system blog for those if you want.
I'm in an insys QPR with Dagger of Decay (@deltoradecay) and Red ( @draconicred ). I'll likely mention them sometimes. I might call them by source names, Shigaraki/Shig and Kirashima/Kiri--just know I'm talking about them most of the time. Also if you want to bring shipcourse into my relationship with my real partners, kindly fuck off.

Disability Stuff
Bodily, we're physically and mentally disabled. We have the AuDHD combo pack, tourette's (albeit mild), reverse-SAD and MDD, schizoaffective disorder, real bad asthma, nerve pain (unspecified), DID, and issues with our legs and spine.
I personally:
Hold symptoms of our ADHD.
Am very susceptible to our chronic fatigue. I use our cane more often because of it.
Am intra-hard-of-hearing. My other headmates can hear fine, but when I front I struggle with it.
Have intra-OCPD. This is a new discovery so. Yeah.
We're very open about our disabilities because fuck society, fuck stigma, and fuck fakeclaimers. Feel free to ask questions--no questions are stupid unless you're asking them in bad faith.

Boundaries
No DNI, I'll block if I want and you should do the same. As a basic rundown of my Discourse Opinions though, I don't care who or what you are as long as you're not hurting people. That means all good faith identities are fine by me, "contradictory" or not. And exclusionists won't be welcome here. I'm pro-endo, pro-xenogenders, pro-fiction and basically anything else that doesn't hurt people.
people always get so caught-up on needing a definition for queerplatonic attraction or relationships, when it's pretty much the relationship equivalent of nonbinary. and "what is an exact definition of nonbinary?" is a difficult question to answer! it's quite literally just "any gender that is not strictly binary", and in that exact same way I cannot give you an all-encompassing definition of queerplatonic beyond "it's not strictly in the romantic/platonic binary" it could be inbetween, it could be neither, it could be both, it could be outside of that all.
Tfw you have a kintype awakening and suddenly so many pieces fall into place. Like oh, that's why I do that. That's why I'm scared of this. That's why this is an integral part of my identity that I couldn't explain before. That's why I get excited when this happens. That's why I do anything ever.
Insane to me that literally preschoolers learn things like "sometimes your experience is different from someone else's experience! Sometimes what you like isn't what your friend likes! Our differences make us all special and colorful and unique!"
And then 20-somethings with an internet connection will willfully unlearn this and post comments like "why is op saying 'everyone enjoy an orange today!'? I'm actually allergic to oranges and I dont like apples or bananas and I dont really want any fruit plus im not hungry right now and I dont have time or money to go buy groceries or transport to get there and the store is closed because its Christmas day plus there's a big hurricane so I dont really understand? Op this doesnt apply to me I dont get it? You need to apologize for trying to hurt me with this. I could have died. Why didn't you say something true about me instead?" and then they expect not to be told to shut the fuck up.
Hey baby transmascs, never detransition for a shitty straight guy no matter how attractive he is or how lonely you feel. You deserve better, you deserve to be happy. You deserve a partner who will love you truly and want you to be the most authentic version of yourself.
Additionally, baby transfems, never detransition for a shitty straight girl no matter how attractive she is or how lonely you feel. You deserve better, you deserve to be happy. You deserve a partner who will love you truly and want you to be the most authentic version of yourself
Never give someone the time of day who just treats you like a "safer man", you're a woman.
I hate being one of our angrier headmates because I front, think a single angry thought or get irritable and the brain goes all like "woa dude you're such an asshole, right, that's why you're The Asshole One" like okay. This sure helps the irritability and overstimulation. This is bound to not lead to a cycle.
Very tired of feeling like I have to bite my tongue when I'm made uncomfortable in regards to my fictionfolk identity. Orthohumans and non-fictionfolk are allowed to say they are uncomfortable with a show or a ship or criticism of a character, yet when someone who is fictionfolk does it, suddenly it's too much? Suddenly we're being whiny and making everything about us? We're crazy or delusional? It's only fun and not that deep?
Last I checked, boundaries are boundaries. You're well within your right to create and distribute and talk about whatever you want on your own time, in fact I encourage it! But why, when speaking to someone with a fictional identity, is it okay to shut down any complaints, requests or boundaries they may have in a fandom context? Why do I have to sit through people talking about some of the worst moments of my life as if they're a joke? Why do I have to see artworks of myself in uncomfortable scenarios? Why do I have to see memes about my trauma? And why can someone who is not fictionfolk request to not see those things, while fictionfolk are laughed at and mocked for that same request?
"We need to get weirder", yet you can't treat fictionfolk as anything remotely serious or as people worthy of the same basic decency you offer others. We can't get weirder if you're happy to be ableist and happy to spread alterhumisia.
A group for anyone to share any current events going on in the alterhuman communities.
@frameacloud and I created a Tumblr community group for posting about events that are happening in the alterhuman communities.
If you have or know of a survey, zine, howl, or any other ongoing project, consider posting about it here. You can also post about news articles or other publications that have been written about alterhumans and our communities. Consider joining!
It is crazy to me how many cis dudes are like âMy S/O got pregnant and got an abortion without my input/permission and this is a worse portrayal than being cheated on and I am absolutely justified in treating her like garbage after I impregnated her without her permission.â especially when the S/O is just a casual girlfriend and/or has bluntly told him they donât want kids. I am of the firm belief you do not get to decide what someone does with your sperm after you deposit it in their body, you cannot force them to keep a pregnancy or to abort a pregnancy and having the intent to do so makes you a fucking supervillain. You can inform them youâll be there financially and would like to coparent if theyâre open to it OR you can tell them you have no intention of being a father and will not be in the childâs life but you do not get to control the decision.
The fact your girl did not tell you she was pregnant and had an abortion means she thought you were both clear on not wanting a kid at this time OR she knew you would be a massive fucking asshole about the whole thing. These guys treat it like a personal insult and a wound that someone theyâve been casually fucking for 4 months does not want to go through 9 months of pregnancy and have their baby.
Sometimes you send something you found online to a friend because you want to brighten their day, and sometimes you send something you found online to a friend with the precise attitude and bearing of a cat very carefully lining up their paw with the back of another cat's head.
There's so much more of course, but too little time and space in one post to list off every single valid experience.. all plurality is valid, don't let anyone tell you otherwise
So here's some reminders. Feel free to add on with your own as well!
Psychosis does not make someone inherently dangerous. In fact, psychotic folks are more likely to be the victims of violent crime. Anyone can be dangerous, regardless of whether they have a psychotic disorder or not.
Psychosis doesn't mean your life is over. Psychosis affects quality of life in a lot of ways, but it's not hopeless! Plenty of people with schizophrenia manage to live a fulfilling life, even with the struggles that come with the disorder. There's ways to manage, there's ways to find support, and all psychotic people deserve help to get to the point where they're at their healthiest--their own definition of healthy, whatever that might look like for them. Healing looks different for everyone, remember that!
Schizophrenia (and other psychotic disorders) aren't always just delusions and hallucinations. There's other symptoms including flat affect (lack of emotional expression), catatonia (restriction or loss of movement), depression, isolation, anhedonia (inability to feel joy), disorganised thinking and speech (word salad, words lose meaning, etc), problems with your memory and attention, and more.
Hallucinations aren't always seeing and hearing things. You can experience visual hallucinations, auditory (hearing) hallucinations, tactile (touch), olfactory (smell), gustatory (taste), and really any sense your body has.
Hallucinations also aren't always horrifying. What I mean by that is it's not always ghosts and demons and blood and bodies, like in the movies. Sometimes it's a little beetle, or a cat. Sometimes it's hearing a friend's voice when they're not around, saying something mundane. Sometimes you hear your phone ring in another room. They can be mundane and annoying as well as something more stereotypical!
You can't "snap someone out" of a delusion. Belittling someone, telling them to get over themselves, that they're being silly/stupid, or things like "you don't really believe that, do you?" are generally not how you speak to someone in active delusion. This is more likely to push the person away from you. Delusions, even if the psychotic person knows they're delusions, are fixed beliefs that affect us and our reality as if they were real.
Different people have different opinions on reality checking. For some, being reality checked while in a delusion might help! For others, it will push them further into it and make getting out of the episode much harder. It's best to ask each individual psychotic person you know what they want you to do, if anything. You should never encourage (or affirm) a delusion or reality check a delusion without knowing what the person needs.
It's not always as simple as "take your meds". For some, medication can be lifechanging and make their symptoms few and far between! For others, they might still experience symptoms even if they're easier to manage while medicated. Others prefer to be unmediated, or need to be because of other medical complications. Psychotic people, regardless of if they're medicated or not, are worthy of support and care. Someone not taking medication doesn't mean they're "refusing to get better".
Disability benefits shouldnât be tied to the income of a disabled personâs partner/spouse/parent.
Do you hear me?
DISABILITY BENEFITS SHOULDNâT BE TIED TO THE INCOME OF A DISABLED PERSONâS PARTNER/SPOUSE/PARENT.
This is the straight forward way to deprive a disabled person of their financial freedom and independence and trap them into possible abusive relationships.
Okay so this is why understanding the intersection of misogyny and transmasculinity is important, because this is how people talk about trans men on T:
