I used to perform for the human masses as a whale. I can’t remember if I was ever wild. I can’t even remember my mother’s face or how the sea felt against my skin.
Perhaps the facility’s flashing lights and booming music and the influx of faces so different from mine are the only thing I had known since then.
And yet I still want to come back and see if the humans still like me and my funny little dances.
Cetacean therians, kin, anyone who feels they identify with or as cetaceans let me know if you’ve experienced this!! But when I watch videos, clips, or any footage of orcas and they’re eating and tearing at prey it looks good?? Like I’ll see a pod rip up a large fish and I’m like “ wow I could go for some of that right now”.
I said that out loud once and the person thought I was wild for it 😆
⟢ Whalecome to my blog! I'm NKW-387 Echo, a bull Norwegian orca that's living in captivity in the US.
⟢ I'm genderfluid and I go by they/she/he/it pronouns. I don't really have a preference for any, you can use whichever you'd like. I'm somewhere on the ace spectrum, most likely lithromantic, and I'm pansexual
⟢ I like all things related to dragons and cetaceans and horror, and I draw a lot in my free time. Some of my favorite YouTubers I watch include 3FS, Joe Bartolozzi, Caseoh, and CoryxKenshin. Some of my favorite music artists are Jack Stauber, Alex G, Eminem, Lady Gaga, Odetari, Glass Animals, and Frank Sinatra
THE NONHUMAN STUFF
⟢ My main identity is the orcinus orca, and I have quite a few. I believe I may have been a theriform orca turned human, and if I was my father is NKW-693 Odin and my mother is NKW-1001 Aurora. But I have my doubts, so I'm not sure if I was born as a theriform orca. Besides that I also believe I'm a walk in soul of Tilikum and Nakai, and I was Mamuk and Splash in past lives. I also believe in the future I may be an orca named Juilong. You may call me by any of these orcas names if you wish. Doubles are welcomed here
⟢ My other less prominent sea animal identities include a humpback whale and a polar bear. And yes, polar bears are classified as marine mammals, search it up if you don't believe me (only saying this because I've gotten a surprising amount of people trying to argue with me that they're not or they didn't know)
⟢ You can find all my sea animal identities and information about them here
DNI AND BOUNDARIES
⟢ I don't really have a DNI because I can't control who interacts with me. That being said if there's something about you I don't like, I'll block you
⟢ Any hate comments or asks will be deleted and probably blocked. It's really not that hard to scroll or block me
⟢ I try to stay out of discourse, so please don't ask me on my opinions on anything or drag me into anything, unless we're moots and I know you
⟢ Do not tell me to “show proof” about any of my identities, I don't have to show anything to you and you'll probably get blocked
⟢ I do not support Blackfish or #emptythetanks or #dontbuyaticket or anything similar. Any comments or asks like these will also get deleted and blocked
EXTRA
⟢ I have really bad anxiety and I'm not the best at talking to people, so I apologize if I come off as awkward
⟢ I'm always second guessing myself and wondering if I got something wrong, so if I ever say or do something incorrect please tell me!
⟢ If you want to be moots feel free to ask
⟢ I'm selectivecap and prowelfare

OUTRO
⟢ Other than that, everyone is fully welcomed to my account, and feel free to ask any questions that you have about me as long as it's not super personal or inappropriate
``Lucy's underground, she's never comin' back``
``Am I still alive, or has the light gone black?``
Here's the drawing of me, @talankii , and @kyuquotian that I said I was going to make a while back
I'm the orca on the top, Ky is the white orca, and Tal is the one at the bottom.
I was planning on adding more like lighting and seaweed and fish but I've just been...I dunno. I haven't felt motivated to do or finish anything lately besides watching YouTube, but I've felt guilty for putting it off and not posting it for so long. I went for a more cartoony style because I wanted to show our expressions to show we're happy :)
