If you wanna become alterhuman, you can just become one. You can choose to become otherlinker, otherhearted or a system. Chosen identities and created systems are as valid as involuntary ones.

30 Days of Pokefolk Challenge

We've seen a lot of 30 day alterhuman challenges around, which is awesome! I wanted to make my own, specifically to cater to alterhumans with connections to Pokemon! Feel free to change questions a little to suit your identity better, or other such stuff. The point of this isn't to strictly adhere to the challenge, it's moreso to get more works by pokemon fictionfolk out there!

Text below cut. Pokemon 'kin symbol here (used in absence of a Pokemon alterhuman symbol).

A wild Pokemon fictionfolk challenge has appeared!

🪲 - do you miss your home? Or maybe you're happy that you're here?

🐸 - do you have any sourcemates? If yes, who/what are they?

🌳 - in scale 1-10, how are you similar to your canon?

🌿 - does your fictotype have a different sex/gender identity than your body/you?

☘️ - what aspect of life does your identity affect the most?

🪴 - is your fictionkin experience unpleasant or enjoyable for you?

🍃 - what reminds you of your fictotype? (E.g.: a figurine, a doll, a tv series)

🌄 - on what level is your identity? (E.g. spiritual, psychological, psychical)

🐢 - do you experience shifts? Of yes, how do they look like?

🥝 - what is your source?

🐛 - how do you feel about fanarts of you and fanfictions?

Reblog this, so the others can ask you questions or answer them all right now, if you want to :>

Want to know what I've been working on and why I keep asking for resources?

Check out this enormous list (Google Docs) of alterhuman resources including blogs to follow, awesome informative websites, creative works, firsthand experiences, and plenty of other things. I have general alterhuman resources as well as some sections for otherkin, therians, copinglinkers, otherhearted folks, and systems.

It's not done and I would love even more links, especially in areas that are lacking. I'm hoping to expand on the copinglinker section and expand on the questioning/guides sections and missing websites. I just wanted to show off the document so far. It's a great go-to if I want to share specific resources and don't want to search my blog or other people's blogs in order to find them.

I hope it's helpful. I've been working on it for a week so far.

If you want, you can request to be a commenter on the document so you can leave notes on how I can expand or fix things as needed! Just let me know!

[a-dragons-journal]

would it be ableist to 'link to a character that have a disorder that you don't have?

tl;dr, you can do whatever you want forever.

More serious answer: I’m sure there are ways to be ableist about it, but no, I don’t think it’s inherently ableist in any way. If you go on to use that as an excuse to talk over disabled people about their experiences, claim you have firsthand knowledge of how that disability affects people in this place and time, etc, then sure, that’s ableist, but it’s the behavior that’s the problem, not the identity.

(Others feel free to add thoughts in the notes, especially if you disagree with me on this; I’m curious about others’ thoughts.)
