chittering. im stressed enough rn from finals that im fucking pacing around all territorial and aggrivated at tiny things and fuck im SO tired. couldnt get out of the nest yesterday cause i needed to guard our bedroom door. not even a hormone cycle thing, im just stressed enough that human masking isnt really Working as well. feels like theres some itch in my brain kinda like when i need to mark my mates or nest but it wont go AWAY just the urge to protect from The Threats. girl the threats are final exams GO AWAY
Nesting is often shown as a really passive behavior but for me it very much isnt. The nest is where I bring people to keep them safe, when I get overprotective I won't let my mates leave the nest. It's very much a territory thing for me which seems more similar to how denning is usually described
Except I'm just answering all the questions cause it's fun :3
Skipping ones that don't apply to me, og ask game by @/meepypk
Putting below read more cause it's gonna be long
☀️ . What are your dynamics? How do you define them?
I'm a Theta! For me that means having aspects in my cycle similar to both alphas and omegas. I expirience heats and ruts along with more typical Omega or alpha behavior accordingly
🌙 . What is your scent? Why do you think that's your scent?
Mate assigned: honey and citrus with a hint of vanilla and cinnamon. Gets Tangier on the Ω side of my cycle and more spicy and musky on the α side
⭐️ . Are you a system? Does being misces influence you a lot?
Yes! We don't all have misce traits but we have a lot of nonhuman members and a lot of us already did misce things before finding the label
🌺 . Do you buy perfumes / scented candles / other scented objects to try and match your scent?
Yes! I use essential oils to make scent sprays and creams
🌸 . Scents that you like or dislike?
Big fan of earthy and musky smells. Not a fan of synthetic perfume smells
🍄 . What do you enjoy most about your dynamic?
I like the flexibility and predictability of my cycle
💕 . Do you have a mate(s)? If so, what is your mate's dynamic and scent? If not, do you want one? What's your ideal mate?
Yes! αR has a musky spicy scent, like roots and incense and a bit metalic. αW has a smokey scent with a bit of a sweet tang and grit to it. βL has a mellow scent, like rain and pine and pachouli. I love my mates so much :3
👥️️ . Are you in a pack / flock / colony? If yes, describe the way your pack works and who is in it! If not, do you want to be in a pack? What's you dream pack?
Kind of? By nature of being a system we are kinda like a pack but I think my direct relationships with my mates and insys kids are also similar to a pack dynamic
🔊 . What subvocals do you do? How do you communicate and what do your subvocals mean?
Lots of vocals, I produce a sort of thrumming sound when content or energetic, the actual sound isn't detectable by humans but it's like a harmonic hum to me and other plants. I click and purr when content and snarl at things when I'm upset.
🐾 . Does your personal misce identify align with specific verses? What are your behaviors and how does it work?
Not so much, most verses are a little to the left for me. I don't mind, it's different for all of us insys but for me I'm still figuring my nonhuman behaviors out since I mask so hard
↗️ . Are you alterhuman? How does being alterhuman affect your miscecanis identity?
Yes! It's part of what lead me to the Misceverse community
👾 . Do you have friends who are also misces?
Yes!
😶🌫️ . Are you open about being misces in real life? Or do you prefer to keep your identity online?
It's something only a few friends know and I keep it separate from my main blog since I'm kinda scared to be open about it
✨️ . What are some ways you express being misces?
Scenting is a big one. And just talking about it with others, working on allowing myself to explore these aspects of me
🎨 . What's your favorite misce activity to do? (ex: scenting, nesting, defining verse specific terms, etc)
Scenting is a big one. It makes me so happy. Nesting when I'm more hormonal is a bit one but I'm pretty bad at nest building (βL is great at it tho :3 )
🫂 . What do you like about the misces community?
I love how open everyone is and how friendly it is. It's so nice to be able to embrace these parts of myself with others who are also doing the same
🪶 . If you nest, what are things you like to have or include in your nest?
Every blanket and pillow I have. If I don't have enough I use clothes too. I like a nest with tall walls, ideally some kind of closed top but that's hard to do in practice. And it needs enough room for me to stretch out a bit. I like to make it smell like my mates too, it's soothing
🌱 . Do you have particularly strong nesting instincts / habits? Why do you nest?
YES especially during my heats. Like I said I'm pretty bad at it but the urge gets really strong to the point where I CANT leave the nest for hours at a time sometimes
💰 . Do you have any misces specific items or want any items on a wishlist that would make you feel closer to your misce identify?
Not particularly, I'm mostly human shaped and there's nothing that could replicate the body horror that is my ever shifting form
🎆 . What would you like to see more of in the misces community?
Id love to meet more fictives! Especially those whose source isn't explicitly misce adjacent
💛 . What aspects of being misces do you enjoy the most? What about being misces makes you happy?
I love being able to relax and unmask
🦋 . Any specific misces habits / urges you have?
Sitting in a tank of water stationary for hours and glowing like a nuclear reactor. Also I glow and grab things with my feathers unconsciously sometimes
🎈 . Are there certain places / things that make you feel more in tune with your dynamic(s)?
Sitting in a tank of water stationary for hours and glowing like a nuclear reactor. Being underwater really makes me feel connected with myself and my sisters
