Florida (Alterhu)man

Florida (Alterhu)man is a Discord server for plural systems, therianthropes, otherkin, and other alterhumans who live in or near the southeastern USA. Some states in or near there are Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. Our gated lobby offers some protection for the privacy of who lives where. We have an online reference library of advice for safer meet-ups and other resources for keeping our communities healthy and informed.

As of this writing, our server has slightly more than a hundred members. It has been active since we opened more than a year ago in August 2024. We welcome plural systems of any origins and types: we're endogenic-safe, and we have PluralKit and Tupperbox. It's a safe space for LGBTQIA, people of color, and people with disabilities.

We don't allow aduIt content, but only aduIts may join this server because it's for finding local events and friends to meet, and we don’t want to encourage young ones to do that, for their safety.

If you're plural or alterhuman in the south-eastern US, join us!

Let. Me. OUT!

[einthings]

For some reason I'm always so stupid about my polymorphness, especially when I'm trying to work on a sona or something like that. I'm always like: “okay, now I need to chose one species/look/form and stick to it... But I can't choose... Why do I feel the need to be everything at once, it's so weird!”

You idiot. You absolute buffoon. Yeah, WHY can't I just be this one thing?! <— said by a creature that is literally called 'many things'

Like, I'm still trying to work out what the coat of my horse form is. Bitch, please. You're a shapeshifter. Why the hell would you only have 1 coat. Budget problems? Be for real.

[dogwithglasses]

Hey! I just came across your cartoon talking about your identities. I became curious about what being polymorph means? I don't think I got it...if you could explain in a bit more extensive way, I'd be glad to hear! Sorry if I was inconvenient. Cheers!

no, you’re not being inconvenient at all! don’t worry about it in the slightest! i am more than happy to try and explain it more! thank you for asking so kindly!i guess basically i identify as a vague nonhuman thing. i realise that physically i am human and physically i am unable to shapeshift, but at the core of my being, i really resonate with nonhumanness, i guess.a fair amount of the time, i feel sort of blank, maybe, or formless. i don’t really have a solid self-image. if i try to imagine myself, i sometimes have to take a minute to figure out what i look like. i mean, i know what my body looks like, but i feel like my body isn’t me, do you know what i mean?and sometimes, different settings, environments, crowds, or emotions will sort of bring forth different forms that i feel. i’ll feel more in the mindset of particular animals, or i’ll feel supernumerary phantom limbs pertaining to different animals, based on what’s going on in my life or who i’m around. sometimes when i play with a dog, i feel like a dog; when i play with a cat, i feel like a cat; when i talk with other therians or otherkin, i often sort of start to match their species. i am also, most of the time, able to bring forth the different forms by will; i focus on what it would be like to be a certain type of creature, and sort of re-shape myself into that form.i hope that has answered your question at least somewhat sufficiently! if you wonder anything else about the subject, just let me know and i will do my best to answer again! i hope you have a lovely and bright day!

Sorry if this is too personal, or too offensive, but what are you otherkin to? (Not questioning validity, I'm autistic and it helps to have definitions and certainties)

I’m actually a polymorphkin!

Polymorphkins are different from polykin (folks who identify as multiple kin) in that they are otherkin who morph through kintypes instead of having a specific set of kintypes, though a polymorphkin can have certain kintypes that are their favourites. I hope that makes sense? I’m bad with explaining things (I’m autistic as well, friend :D).

Also, a lot of polymorphkin identify in that if they are around a group of a certain kintype, they tend to mimic them and morph into that kintype.

Also, it’s not like they just change shape but are still a certain kintype on the inside. It’s more that they actually become the kintype they morph into.

If they morph into a dragon, they become a dragon rather than being a dragon on the outside but something else, like a fox, on the inside.

This is the major difference between polymorphkins and shapeshifters because shapeshifters tend to remain their ‘true’ selves on the inside but the polymorphkin’s ‘true’ self simply morphs into the kin they have morphed into.

Again, I hope this makes sense. >.<“

A lot of polymorphkins also identify in that they have a true core self but that it’s more of an energy type thing rather than a kintype. Like a polymorphkin’s core self can be the embodiment of light or electricity or the void or some such but their physical body can morph into whatever they feel like.

A lot of polymorphkin feel that they do have a core, but they haven’t figured out what exactly it is yet.

I couldn’t tell you what exactly my polymorphkin identity is because I’m still exploring it myself, but I hope this gave you some insight as to what polymorphkins in general are all about. :3c

I have a chin??????? Why do I have chin. Where is my snout so I can sleep like a dog or cat or perhaps a dragon

You ever get dysphoric from talking Like yeah that's cool but I'm not really meant to express myself that way

[incoherent-squawking]

Pteran / Pterohuman / Pteranthrope

Pronunciation: tear (as in tearing paper) - oh- human | tear - anthrope Etymology: Ptero - relating to wings, having wings | Anthro - human, humanoid

A term for a 'type that is relatively human / humanoid and has wings. (more under cut)

Can be shortened to Pteran. Can be used by itself (ex. "I am pteran") or as an umbrella term (ex. "My pterantype is a siren").

Feel free to use either term (interchangeably or exclusively), but the intent was that "pterohuman" is for those who's pterantype still feels close to humanity, and "pteranthrope" is for those who are not comfortable associating their pterantype with humanity as closely.

This is a self-identifying term, that can include (but is not limited to):

human(oid)s who's only nonhuman trait is their wings

humanoids who have wings along with other nonhuman traits

angels

bird-like humanoids / avians

other human(oid)s with feathered wings

human(oid)s with bat, dragon, insect, or otherwise non-feathered wings

human(oid)s who can fly with their wings and those who can not

I'm struggling to create a symbol or flag for this identity that properly encapsulates all types of wings! If you are pterohuman, feel free to make your own, but please consider the meaning behind what you create (i. e. don't just make colorful stripes that look pretty).

Other uses of the term:

My kintype is pteranthropic

I want to be more in touch with my pterohumanity

My pterantype has parrot wings

I am pterankin

My pterantype is a crow

please reblog to spread!

fictionkin/fictionfolk community, I want to do a little experiment!

Reblog this post with your highest kin or a picture of whoever is reading this right now (fictives included^^)

I want to see how diverse this reblog chain is!! I'll go first.

[bishamon]

Sure, I'll start my own branch.

I am a fictive of mixed sources. Both at once, in equal measure. They're essentially the same person to me, even though I have distinct, separate memories for both.

[hebephrenias]

Hello everyone, Yuri here. I'm a fictive!

(be careful if you go to my blog, it's very nsfw/gorey. as one would expect from me)

[endogenesis-evangelion]

^ my headmate!

also it meeeee. asuka langley soryu real

[cynosuura]

hi

these two are also frequent fronters and are cool too ig

we’re also pokemon

[aestherians]

Lots of anime here, let's shake it up a bit

[kindump]

well, depending on who you ask, my headmate either is or isn’t also from an anime lol

[kin-eats]

Actually, i have thought of a request (I’m the anon that said they didn’t have one, lol). My headmate is a katkat fabletive and we’re going to be moving in with my partner soon, which is going to come with a pretty drastic (positive!) change in diet. I’m curious what you might be able to come up with themed around their id, with the stipulation that we’ll be eating gluten free and with as little added sugar as possible, since my partner has celiac and i’ve got joint inflammation (which the sugar definitely contributes to). We’re pretty open to a variety of textures and flavor profiles and we do enjoy trying new things, so other than anything particularly sweet or bitter the sky’s the limit! Thank you so much again, you really are a blessing in this community 💙

Hi, same anon w the karkat headmate, i remembered after sending that last ask in that i might also be somewhat lactose intolerant (but we’re not sure yet, i’m still at the “denying the allegations” stage) so while it would probably be ideal to avoid dairy, it really won’t hurt anything if a recipe has some dairy in it, as a non-central ingredient to the dish. Thanks again!!

I'll do the best I can!

BLT Egg Sliders

Baby Back Ribs

Crisp Pickled Green Beans

Make-Ahead Mashed Potatoes

Asian-Style Ground Beef Cabbage Wraps

Sirloin Steak with Garlic Butter

I apologize if I'm off entirely, but hopefully they like these options!

The Red Dragon Queen

Alright tumblr, @polishedscales and I had gotten to thinking about kin stuff and ~discourse~ and back to times when the tumblr dragonkin community was truly and blessedly poppin, and by chance I had remembered the red dragon queen. I miss the days when we as a community were truly talking and trying to learn from one another. I figured, at the very least I could create a summation of the entire ordeal and bring it back up so that perhaps we could get more opinions, input from newer members of the community and see what happens?

A note before I get into this: This very long post is in no way intended to be opinionated or swaying in any direction. You do NOT have to have any sort of memory of feeling of her presence in order to be dragonkin, as it ended up being turned into a few years ago, and I am in no way endorsing that happening! This post is simply a compilation/information spew of everything that happened back then and about the phenomena itself. I’ve been stewing on it, since I had saved almost every post of information on it when it was occurring. Also, please do not reblog on this post with information about and having to do with the Ven discourse. If it’s wanted, I could make another massive information post on them, but this one is simply about the red dragoness!
