Went to see AFAA today and hooooly shit....... cried multiple times and absolutely sobbed at one particular scene. 10/10 they cooked so hard. I brought my songchord to the theater and wore my Toruk backpack and had a great time, but man it hit hard. I miss my life on Pandora 🙁 I want to go home but I'm stuck in this stupid sky person body. I'm going to start playing AFOP more to see if it'll trigger any memories.
Fun fact! Minecraft has autistic representation in its game!
I still think it’s very sweet that two of my dear students identify as therians, shared their several theriotypes with me, and have showed me their quadrobics and vocals before. To keep in mind, my students are 11.
Meanwhile, I’m 23. I don’t do quadrobics, but I do enjoy yoga. I don’t have a mask or any “gear,” really. I’m pretty much just a cat, questioning feline cladotherian. Yet I also identify as a therian, particularly favoring the alterhuman label.
Big or small, young or old, I like the fact that so many of us get to experience this together. Being an alterhuman comes with its joys and hardships, but having a community really does make it all better.
Just wanna say that "go find offline community" in terms of both nonhumanity and other largely-to-semi-online spaces is only helpful in so far as whatever offline community 1) exists in your area 2) you have the means of transporting yourself to wherever meetings are held 3) meetings are accessible or are committed to becoming accessible and 4) whomever runs/frequents the meetings isn't diametrically opposed to your existence or worldview in a way that is alienating or dangerous. If your solution to any of these is "well then you should run offline meetings yourself" then you have to accept that you will be cutting out individuals who are incapable of doing that for any reason, and they will naturally rely on online spaces instead. Offline community is obviously great and should be encouraged, but I see borderline contempt from ppl who think others take the online world "too seriously" as if it isn't the only option for some.
This probably deserves a proper long form essay but I think everyone would have a much easier time of it if we all started seeing nonhumanity (and, I think alterhumanity broadly, though this is less my area) not as some sort of specifically defined hard-edged identity capable of categorization as a platonic ideal and more of just….a mode of meaning making for clusters of experiences and thought processes. Like we get close when we describe feelings of nonhumanity as byproducts of disability, neurodivergence and etc but we should commit. I’m not a therian because “therian” is a neat box that exists metaphysically I can be put into, but because it communicates the way I have made sense of my existence and the way I interact with the world.
I wish therianthropy wasn’t SUCH an online based thing nowadays. I mean socially, it almost has to be since it’s kinda rare to find others irl. But I wish we embraced offline life a bit more, being animals and all. Unplug, get outdoors if even just a little bit; and with the younger therians I feel like there’s this pressure to record and post *everything* and that’s pretty unfortunate (I would know, having been in this mindset in the past). Not every outing has to go online guys, even if you’re in gear, do it for yourself.
I wonder if I’m being harsh with people when they say things that implies alterhuman is only therian. Not even otherkin. Basically, nonhuman animals, and sometimes just the modern, earthly ones.
But I’m very tired.
People need to do basic reading, and researching, even if I understand that proper information is hard to come by. But still searchable.
Alterhuman is alternative to or of human experience. Nonhuman, human, and everything in between and beyond. Concept, stories, fictional or historical, worlds outside, or inside. Many-in-one, or one-in-many. Object or environment. To be as, or not to be, but to connect with in some adjecent ways.
I think we are all very tired of the boxes that’s been put around us like cages and chains all our lives. Please, once again, I beg of you, fellow community member, that this is for all of us. Even if you cannot think of it, just stop a moment and be mindful of your language. Words can and have been used as weapon, stop treating it as not-a-matter. Don’t treat them willy nilly, don’t say “words change”, don’t disregard all the history and culture and implication tied to them to suit your need, don’t ignore the change that did took place and not try to understand the how or why. I’m tired of the excuses people spout as if they’d forgotten. Or are ignorant, and stays willfully so.
Learn. Damnit you come into this identity, you are here to learn about yourself. You are able to have this space to learn about yourself in peace and freedom because of the road paved by others before, others that seems to be forgotten or discarded.
Keep a open mind. You don’t always have to understand, but we are all on this balance beam together trying to fit everyone—no, wove everyone into this truly magnificently gigantic community.
Crash Course From A Black Otherkin
Preface
I encourage everyone to read this, especially if you are white. I made this post long enough to talk about the points in decent detail, but short enough to be digestible. It is about the different ways the nonhuman communities make people of color feel unwelcome and why.
My askbox is open usually all the time, so I'm also open to answering questions about this. I want people to read. I want people to ask questions when they don't understand. I even want people to do research on their own time to learn more (and I mean actually researching and not asking ChatGPT to think for you).
Where To Begin
"Wow, this is a really long post on the police dog discourse", except this isn't a post on the police dog discourse. That topic is more of a springboard for me to segue into where exactly things go wrong and how it causes people of color to feel unsafe participating in the communities (which can suck, because nonhumanity can be very isolating with no one to talk to about it!). So if you feel as if this has been done to death and are thinking "oh boy, this again", I encourage you to continue to read the post all the way to the end. With that, this leads us to...
uncommon therio/kin/hearttypes and furrys/kemonomimis show me your creature!! i wanna see more obscure beings that like 3 people connect to lmao
there are a few mustelids out there but im the only sablehearted ive seen!
HELLO FELLOW SABLE!! but as for uncommon types, Im a Keldeo (Pokemon) otherkin! Ive never met another Keldeo though I have met plenty of other 'mons!!
Has anyone else had the experience of feeling more human as they simultaneously embrace their nonhumanity?
When I was younger, I probably would have fit into the "holothere" label. I didn't feel very human at all, I despised my human body and felt desperately out of place within human society. But, after I discovered what therianthropy was and was given the language to express myself and communicate what I was feeling, my relationship with humanity actually started to improve. When I wasn't being forced into a species binary, and was instead allowed to just exist, I started feeling overall more human because I was able to fully embrace the aspects of humanity that naturally resonated with me and discard the rest. I still have a decent bit of species dysphoria, and still feel more nonhuman than human overall, but I genuinely enjoy living a human life and feel much more at peace with who I am now. Has anyone else had this experience?
I experience this! And this is actually kind of a reason i coined my own term (un)human. the label kinda gives me the freedom to feel however human or not human i wish without worrying about 'loosing' my alterhumanity as an identity. It's a very all encompassing term and like you said, just simply exist as I am without getting to caught up in questioning or changing labels even when my identity shifts.
absolutely agree!
I do have digigrade legs but they look like this
Guess where I went today!
wore my songchord for the first bit of my trip but it quickly got wayyyy too hot out so I put it back in my toruk bag, which I also had on!
here's some plants I thought were cute. I wish I couldve bought one but I have a long flight home and I doubt they'd survive.
I also thought this sweater was cute until I saw the pricetag 😅
and here's a video of the floating islands.
Kìyevame!! 💙
I think only an alterhuman can understand this feeling ...🕸🪲🍂🌿...
it's my 21st birthday today, and I'm thrilled to share my songchord with you all! half of the beads and charms were from my own collection of trinkets, the other half I bought online. so it's handmade but also grounded with certain stone meanings (like the peridot for my birth).
I couldn't be prouder of myself; both for making it to 21, and finally having this physical proof of my na'vi identity!! 💙💙

I GOT THIS BACKPACK TODAY AND IT'S ACTUALLY SO GORGEOUS. I cannot wait to wear it to the Valley of Mo'ara later in the year! I also plan to make my songcord next month YAAAAAAAA
But where did you get it???
Facebook marketplace if I'm honest HAHA. this loungefly was I think an exclusive only sold for a time when AtWoW first came out, and now resold on ebay for like $250 :/
the original blue ikran loungefly is still sold both online and in Disney itself though, but I preferred the Toruk design because of the vibrancy!
and there's a chance maybe loungefly will make a nightwraith bag once FaA comes out!
