hi hello hey creatures and the like

[pretty-cool-avian]

HI

this is trying to be an intro post (it is always being expanded/edited lol)

uhm i'm still picking my name (been through 5 already, 4 chosen, the struggle is real) so u can just call me Ell

NSFW blogs, TERFS, anybody who disrespects ANY part of the LGBTQ+ community, ableists, people who are unsupportive of therians + furries (how did you get here?), DNI

note: if you are older than 18 but your account is completely sfw, you can like/rb, but nothing else please (:

cw: i do curse sometimes

theriotypes: i'm a avian-humanoid thingy and also some kind of eagle (i'm going with golden eagle for now), and also questioning gryphonkin or something like that

my main is @mushroomgazette, i will interact (like, follow, ect) from there (irl friends follow me there so i don't post anything abt therianthropy ect but im still p cool i think)

oh also my pfp is a sigil for therian sideblog lol

prns: preferably none but if you must i would prefer it/its

I might use we/us pronouns for myself, i would like to clarify that i am not a system, i just use them bc they feel right

gender: genderfaunet is what i'm sticking with bc i haven't had the energy to find a label that fits me perfectly (i use xenogenders to describe my gender bc it's easier than sticking to labels)

sexuality: most likely aceflux abroromantic (the ultimate fluid)

autisim + adhd + chronic pain haver

things i LOVE (special intrests) : horses (i'm a hunter jumper, plus i'm super intersted in horse color genetics), Tales from the Stinky Dragon, collecting cool smooth rocks, anything grunge-y, quads, cross stitch, Hilda (the show), Bluey, Good Morning From Hell, hawks and eagles

oh also if i see 'you must reblog this' or 'reblog if you are xyz' posts i will not necessarily reblog them, it doesn't mean that i am or am not something, it just gives me an icky feeling to do that and that is ok

uhh tagging system (wip)

e's gryphon stuff: what it sounds like, my gryphonkin-related ramblings

(this section will be expanded)

yee haw

[bizarreaizen]

the whole debate on why alterhumans are not valid is so odd so i'm gonna debunk their "points"

"you're just mentally ill!" [or something that mentions mental illness] someone's identity can be caused by a mental illness but is that affecting you in any way? is that hurting you? no it isn't so mind your own business

"it doesn't make any sense! it's confusing! i don't understand it!" then learn, google is free

"they're still human!" to you, they're "human" but physically, spiritually, psychologically or any other reason, they're not human and if humans are technically a species of animals, especially if you believe in evolution

"this is all just a phase!" so? why would happen if it was a phase? is that gonna change anything? it doesn't matter if it's a phase or not, let people be who they are, we're living in a floating rock

"you can't identify as nonhuman!" says who? is that a crime? are they hurting anyone? are they hurting YOU?

"if they're gonna identify as an animal then i'll treat them like an animal" by your logic, they can also act like an animal towards you, catkins can scratch you, caninekins can bite you, bearkins can maul you, etc.

"but they're putting litter boxes in schools for nonhumans !!" those are for service animals.

"a therian bit me." no they didn't and if they did, it's probably for a good reason

"therians are attracted to animals!" no we're not, that's called a zoophile and don't generalize a group of individuals like what you do with furries.

"this is all just new gen stuff" no it's not, there's a lot of older alterhumans

"isn't that just being a furry?" no, furries dress up in fursuits, draw anthropomorphic creatures, and/or have fursonas, yes, there's alterhumans who are also furries [i'm one of them] but they're completely different

our identities are personal so it doesn't affect anyone badly at all, sure, you may think it's "weird" but there's really nothing wrong with it :D /gen /srs

no, you don’t need to wear your mask/tail to school.

i wish young nonhumans didn’t feel compelled to be ‘out’ at school, especially when it’s a dangerous environment. i keep seeing posts along the lines of “wore my tail/mask to school! people berated/teased/put their hands on me, but it’s ok”.

no, it’s not.

like.. i understand a mask or a tail can be a very validating thing for some people. and i’m not saying NO ONE should wear them at schools. but i just keep watching this mounting trend of young therians insinuating you need some physical accessory or to do quads to be a ‘real’ nonhuman. and then it leads to things like this and it makes me incredibly sad.

i’d known i was alterhuman since late elementary school, actually. it’s a huge part of my life even now, years after graduation. there wasn’t a reason for it to be brought up, so i never did. it was a closely guarded secret to me, but it didn’t feel like a weight i was carrying. i always thought “no one needs to know i’m an animal if it jeopardizes my safety. so, oh well”.

“but, how will people know that i’m an animal?”

they probably will. they probably already do.

i was the designated ‘animal’ person my entire school career despite not ever handling animals in front of anyone. if there were pets, lost wild animals (baby rabbits, birds, lizards), or sometimes even loose livestock that got onto campus, it was always me who had to go tend to them.

everyone wanted me in their group in environmental science. if a project called for animal illustrations, the same thing would happen. it was certainly weird because i was also a ‘weird kid’ and not especially desired to be around outside of that, lol. but i was never harassed for it. it made me feel very validated, actually.

i had fun during gym running and fiercely destroying the opposing team in field hockey. i taught everyone which plants were okay to forage (and we snacked on them when we had to sit on the lower field for practice). every day i was hyperaware of the limbs i had that weren’t quite there. friends noticed my ears twitch and my nose wiggle at certain stimuli. i felt nice walking on two legs. i felt nice because i felt animal and i didn’t have to prove it to anyone.

really like… just do what makes you happy. i admire the bravery it takes to so earnestly wear your identity on your sleeve like that. that’s very impressive. however, there is NO obligation to do anything like that if you understand that there will be a reaction that poses a threat to you.

i want our kids to be safe, too. you don’t have to feel dysphoria over being discreet. sometimes it’s the safest option. and sometimes, that can be really fun, too.

study everything you can about your ‘type. wikipedia and animalia are good resources. ramble about them to anyone who will listen. jokingly refer to yourself as one in friend spaces. wear discreet clothes that remind you of your ‘type. find a nice private place outside where you can run and explore and look at plants and smell the air and feel like yourself. but by no means do you have to prove yourself. you know you.

[raptors-rapture]

Ok I’m pretty sure everyone’s gotten wing shifts at some stage while lying down, but consider: tail feathers. While lying on your back. The tail feathers reach right to my ankles.

I’m too scared of trampling them so I just get trapped on my bed :’>

[monochromatic14u]

Ever feel like you are a mix of different things? Like a whole other creature you can’t pin down?

Cus I feel so many phantom limbs/feelings such as

-Feathered wings from my back/wingbones

-a long but fluffy and thick tail from my tailbone like a jaguar

-Sharp teeth/canines like some sort of predator animal

-talons/claws (unsure which they are) on all my toes and fingers

-Feline ears on the top of my head, more specifically close to a house cat’s or a lynx.

-fluffy fur on my arms, collarbone, and neck.

-the occasional inverted legs like a satyr but really strong like a kangaroo

I have no clue what this all could be other than some form of gryphon, but having a beak or a bird-like head just doesn’t feel like me.

These are also just my phantom feelings, not to mention the various animalistic instincts I feel such as:

-the need to purr.

-the desire to growl

-the urge to make a deep, almost but not quite barking noise at anything that shows some form of appearing to call to me in certain ways that I can’t put into words

-the urge to sleep a ton even when i sleep enough.

-the desire to rip my teeth into any form of meat I eat.

-and various feline behaviors

If anyone can help, PLEASE list suggestions in the comments. I’m so lost as to what I could be. Therian? Otherkin? Alterhuman? I genuinely can’t pin it down.

Signs of having DID that I ignored (note that these are not exclusively signs of DID but they were for me):

I don't have amnesia, that's just short term memory loss because I have ADHD!

I actually have a very good memory, I'm great at memorizing things (what do you mean that's not the same thing)

sure it may seem like my mood changes drastically but I've read online that's common in people with ADHD! it's hard for us to regulate our emotions!

so what if I have different preferences from time to time? that's normal right? like when your mood changes you may prefer different foods? what do you mean that's not the same as going from "I hate spicy foods" one day to "omg I LOVE spicy foods!" the next?

yeah okay I tend to space out in the middle of conversations then come back to and need you to remind me what you said for the past 10 seconds or so. that's just my ADHD inattentiveness. what do you mean that I only do this when stressed. what do you mean that's a form of dissociation.

speaking of dissociation, sure sometimes I feel like I'm watching myself say and do things without my own input but that's just because I was tired/stressed out

yeah sometimes I go on autopilot. my autopilot seems to have its own agenda sometimes though. weird.

sure I changed usernames a *few* times but isn't that pretty common? yeah I also wanted to change how I presented online and also my pronouns and stuff but again isn't it common for people to want to start over sometimes?

*making multiple accounts to play the same game because I play the game differently on different accounts and don't want to mess things up on one account*

oh yes, I'm genderfluid! I say that because my gender absolutely changes from moment to moment and sure it seems kinda tied to other aspects of myself like color preferences and energy levels and personality traits but I'm pretty sure that's just par for the course with genderfluidity?

"you're so different when you're around your parents vs when you're at school/work vs when you're hanging out with friends!" yeah that's called being a complex person we all have different masks we wear in different social situations and I'm no different even if it seems more extreme for me

"how was school/work/the hang-out/going to visit your parents?" I don't know I'm tired and have a giant headache and can't remember

"you said this to me the other day and it made me feel <x>" what????? I literally have no memory of this and that's so incredibly out of character for me wtf I would never do that I was probably just really stressed out and tired and had no filter on.
