welcome welcome! my name is splash and this is my harbor seal nonhumanity sideblog!
tldr;
˖°𓇼 25 years old
˖°𓇼 she/any pronouns
˖°𓇼 mainly harbor seal, along with some other identities. found at @coping-link
˖°𓇼 this blog is for both memeposting along with more journal-like post. i have a tag system here
˖°𓇼 spam liking + reblogging is okay!
˖°𓇼 i really would prefer no discourse here, this blog is here to make me happy and let out my emotions. no dni, just dont be weird
˖°𓇼 i interact from a different account. i dont want it attached to this one but if you see a childhood nostalgia account interact that might be me
the closest identity to align with my self is probably therian, but i dont really connect to that term anymore. i identify nowadays as just nonhuman. ill also go with being or just a seal. youll see me tag therian for a broader reach of my post since thats the term more people are familiar with
i feel physically like a harbor seal. when i see a harbor seal i go "oh look its me." my other identities will muddle the waters a bit for me but i will always be a seal. you can find a loose ref of me here. i feel like even in human skin i resemble a seal. im plus size with no shame, im very hairy, and the way i act is like a seal. including the anxieties lol. im married irl to my very accepting husband, though he is not a nonhuman himself
i am not a zoanthrope, but on this blog we respect their identities. all nonhumanity is valid in my eyes, whether for brief time, a ton of identities, fiction/conceptkins, or you expressing them in any form. if i ever say something offense to someones nonhumanity accidentally, feel free to let me know
some obvious things about me are i really enjoy swimming and i really love fish (though cannot cook it right for the life of me). but i also enjoy to play video games, occasionally read, i like to embroider, and im trying to pick up foraging. im working on getting in shape to enjoy nature walks but thats a bit hard in alabama humidity
if you have any questions feel free to shoot me an ask/message. credit for the banners here and here. i think this covers all the basics though ill probably change it around at some point. have a great day/night!
Curious, how did yall find out about the existance of your kin/theriotype(s)? It only just occurred to me that my experience is potentially kind of odd. The first time i saw one was as a taxidermy at a school (the school had a wall of taxidermied birds, it was kind of the thing they were known for). Saw one and they immediately became my favorite bird, and i later went on to learn that the reason why I love them so much is because i am one. Especially want to hear from those who are lesser known animals and such.
i think something inside me always connected to seals. i always felt.. sealy. even though i didnt know thats what that feeling was. when i finally sat down and came to terms with my nonhumanity, seals immediately popped into my mind
finding out what type of seal i am was also somewhat easier than most. think i literally went to google and typed in “types of seals” and while i do resonate with other types of seals nothing hit me as hard as harbor seals. just looking at any harbor seal, i just know that is me. i cant look at a harbor seal and not just see a reflection of me. when i look at other seals the things i connect with are what they have in common with harbor seals

hi, yes im alive. i have been in a very weird mood recently. on one hand, im stuck at my in laws for at least another month and a half. which always, always involved drama. on another hand, i am stuck at a lake house during the summer which means i can swim whenever i want with my husband
ive also started new anxiety meds recently. when i was teen they put me on xanax which caused a major derealization episodes whenever i took it. so i was off anxiety meds for a bit. then i was on hydroxyzine, which didnt help cause itll make the anxiety go away for about 30 minutes when it was something i dealt with all day (my psych tried to correct this by letting me take three pills a day? so i was only not anxious for and hour and a half a day.) i stayed off anxiety meds for a while cause of these but i got a new psych and its been eating away at me so bad i had to try again. so NOW im on buspur. which so far other than side effects i was actually warned about this time that arent suppose to be permanent its actually been working. about time lol
all this going on, i have been feeling a lot less.. seal. lots of human responsibilities. lots of worries i didnt use to have to face before. ive been around people who dont really understand me or at least all of me. and that has brought up a lot of feelings for me. im trying very hard to be rational and chill but i can only handle this so much. one day ill be able to be as carefree and as seal as i can. but today, or any time soon, is not that day
sometimes i feel kinda bad about not knowing everything about my theriotypes. i really dont feel the need to scan every wiki page about harbor seals or any articles mentioning them. im definitely more of a visual person. if there was a documentary or a movie with harbors in it im down to consume that kind of content. there just isnt a whole lot of media made of harbor seals compared to leopard seals or grey seals.
