Vortex’s Tail

V09 Bottlenose Dolphin Mid Atlantic Resident

[ocean-vortex]

Ahoy there, come ashore

My name is Vortex, I am a bottlenose dolphin, I live in the Mid Atlantic Ocean, and I am attempting to integrate into a wild pod.

I was born a human, but raised by a woman who was very much a dolphin enthusiast. I started swimming independently at 14 months and was proficient at 3 years. There was an abundance of dolphin media when I was small, and they very much shaped my early life.

I have lived with humans for many years now, but will very soon be released into the wild. I currently have to remain inland, but will be moving to the ocean within a year for work.

More about me:

I am a bottlenose dolphin, I have 1 notch in my dorsal fin, and bite marks on my fluke. There is also light speckling on my stomach and back.

There is currently no pod in my life, though I am looking forward to joining the pod that lives near Ocean City MD, as I am moving down there for work summer of 2027.

As for pronouns, I do not use any specific pronouns, you may call me whatever you wish. Gender isn’t something I concern myself with.

This is my blog and I will post what I want. But I’ll probably mostly post sad things about being podless, attempt to connect with other cetaceans, updates about my transition, and pictures of the beach.

Anyone is welcome here, but if you bring harm to other beings, you will be blocked.

how do you type with your flippers

Well I don’t have flippers, I’m attempting to become a dolphin physically, but I still live in a human body.

I wonder what my name would've been had I been born a theriform dolphin, what string of clicks and whistle would've identified me

[jackks-monster]

i bet it feels good as fuck to hit a 360 in the water, reblog if you agree

[starryjer]

why do people have to be unnecessarily hateful when I explicitly state I like something?

every time I say I like dolphins and say that I am a dolphin therian, someone has to point out “dolphins are evil!!” or go on about how much they hate them . okay??? I literally didn’t fucking ask lmao. what am I even supposed to say to that? what do you WANT me to say to that??

[ocean-vortex]

This is who’s posting btw

[wild-kindentities]

I want to swiiiim I want to be underwater and do orca vocals and swim and be in my natural environment, give me back my oceans

[ocean-vortex]

Someone come ask me things! I’m a very social dolphin!

[dolphin-with-no-water]

Y'all need to stop putting human morals on non human animals.

Dolphins are not evil.

If you think dolphins are evil then fuck off.

i would love to hear the opinions of other cetacean therians/kin’s on here of what u guys think when people always say dolphins are “evil” and how they’re “monsters” and “r4p!sts” and such, cuz personally as someone who grew up with dolphins, it hurts. it hurts that people dumb down these creatures to something horrible and awful that is more rare than you think. even then, yes dolphins can be incredibly smart, but they don’t have human morals. they don’t understand the same expectations that humans have. what are your guys’ opinions on this? i’d love to know if im “in the wrong” here, or if others agree.

[ocean-vortex]

It’s fucking bs. We aren’t monsters that go around raping other animals. We don’t adhere to human morality, we have our own cultures, and humans just won’t take the time to put aside their self centered world view.

Antis be like:

“Therians aren’t real because they’re all cats or wolves!”

Meanwhile me:

[hawksfirefox-blog]

me: *sees pic of kin*

me: no, no, not that one

The water was amazingly clear the day I took this picture, I wish I was like this every time.
