Now, I don't really have a specific 'verse. However, I did want to talk about my personal idea of courtships! =D This might be a long post soooo Obligatory keep reading!! Btw, this is just my personal interpretation and what not, but if anyone wants to take inspo or anything of the sort, that's fine =)

Courtships themselves are typically meant to run for 6 months with the end goal being Mating and/or marriage. However, courting partners can be together (without Bonding and/or marriage) for as long as they'd like before and/or after courtship.

I came up with this with only two partners in mind, so I'll go over that first, and then attempt the concept with more than two. Gotta look out for any non-monogamous micepals =3c

How it works is that there's supposed to be six major dates or outings during which six gifts are given by one partner to the other. Of course, there can and should be more than six outings/dates. But, the goal is to have one major date each month of courtship where gifts are received (gifts can be given outside of those, but the ones given during are meant to have more value). Typically, only one partner gives gifts while the other receives, but both partners could give gifts or they can alternate! (Or whatever works for them.)

Before one can even start courting though, there has to be a courtship proposal. Courtship proposals are simple. They shouldn't be too expensive or extravagant (one has to consider the possibility of being rejected). All Partner A needs to do is to create an intimate moment with Partner B, offer a proposal gift *(which shouldn't be too expensive or sentimental because, again, rejection), and ask if B will allow A to court them. If B accepts, then the courtship would then begin.

*a proposal gift could be something like a bouquet, a simple bracelet, necklace or other accessory, or even something like a favourite snack or an act of service (e.g. if B enjoys blueberries or blueberry pastries, A could pick or buy blueberries for them or buy them a blueberry pastry).

-

This method of courtship is supposed to help strengthen or build a bond between the partners, so, as such, the dates--and gifts-- are supposed to grow more intimate over time. For example, the first date (major or not) could be something simple & casual, like a cafe date. And the first (major) gift could be something simple. It should be something that Partner A knows Partner B would at least appreciate. For example, pins based on media B might enjoy.

The third gift, for example, could be a scent token. Like a jacket, hoodie, cardigan, or scarf. Just something that carries A scent that B could wear or put in their den or nest (if they have). (I also think scent token gifts would be the best for courtship gift exchanges >.<)

The sixth gift and last should be something extremely sentimental. And it would be recommended for it to be handmade/homemade and/or a family heirloom (if some families have gifts typically given to partners, then it could be like that). Other gift examples could be handmade clothes or accessories, crafts or pieces of art, original music, poetry, etc It could even be something like a handmade ring, necklace or pendant, bracelets, etc. Bonus points if A were to make matching accessories for them and B.

The final date (where the aforementioned sixth gift would be received) should be intimate. Something like staying the night, a whole-day outing, maybe even a trip if all partners are willing and comfortable.

Acceptance of this sixth gift is supposed to be full acceptance of the courtship. Meaning that, yes, the courtship would be over, but is supposed to signifying the partners going into the 'next stage' (whatever that may be for the individuals) and having a long term relationship.

That's basically the gist of it. For more than two partners, I don't think it'd be much different. The only difference I can think of is probably the gift giving aspect. It would, of course, depend on what the individuals once. But it could be, for example, one partner gifting to the others, the others gifting to one partner, gift exchanges, etc.

By the way! Of course, the usual relationship involved in a courtship like this would be romantic. But I think any kind of relationship (platonic, tertiary, *quadrant, etc) can pursue this if all parties are comfortable and want it. *I think it's called quadrant attraction but I'm not sure/can't remember. But I'm referring to the umbrella term for things like ashen attraction.

Anyway, that's all! This was long and wordy. But I hope anyone who's read this far enjoyed! I, personally, 100% want to court my future girlfriend like this one day =w=

Miscedraconis —

✶ A misce- term for verses that are based in dragons/draconic beings/creatures and their behaviors/traits/etc.

naming: "misce" (misceverse), "draconis" (dragon)

Describing my alterhumanity (+ a little bit of misceverse) in detail!!

Fair warning, this is already inherently cringe, but I do make extra cringe comparisons to stuff like 2016-2019 gacha mini movies and wattpad fics (Spawn outing themself, cough cough) but it's genuinely because I don't have much of any other media to pull from, so I hope this makes sense 😭

Being a lynx!! To be basic/surface level with it, I consider myself a Canada Lynx therian. To start to get more into detail, I consider myself a Canda Lynx hybrid (might link the coining post later, but for now, see the #Yoink! tag on this blog =p). To get even more into detail: I am a lynx shifter, at least I feel as though I should've been one. I don't believe there are any physical attributes to my alterhumanity (as in, I'm not a physical alterhuman); my experience seems to be strictly psychological. I experience phaton shifts, mostly with ears, that can be voluntary or involuntary. Sometimes they kick in on their own or, as I like to say, I have to 'wake them up.' To be more explanatory about the shifter aspect. Think about those Wattpad omegaverse fan fictions with werewolves (I know this sounds crazy, but stick with me here) or the werewolves in Twilight (not too well-versed in what goes on with Twilight so this a very hesitant comparison). Or, like wolf walkers, in the movie Wolf Walkers. I'll lean more into the Wolf Walkers comparison for this. I essentially feel like I should be able to go from human or semi-human/*kemonomimi appearance to lynx, and vice versa. However, it is without the Wolf Walkers aspect(s) where one's human body has to be asleep or the animal form being separate from the human body. *By kemonomimi, I specifically mean having my lynx ears and bob tail 'showing;' if that makes sense. It also feels right for me to be able to 'hide' and/or 'reveal' these lynx features at will (cough cough, like in those 2018 gacha werewolf mini movies cough). Outside of that, I do have a lot of feline traits, instincts and behaviours that come along with this (e.g. the way felines perk up when they hear sudden noises) and may fit my specific species.

Extras!: I yearn for the snow. I have been to Canada bfre (I have family there). However, I'm from and live in a hot Caribbean country and I never really adjusted to how cold it gets there (America). So, no snow time for the lynx boy T^T This part of my identity is also why I'm a kemonomimi!

Draconic aspects!! This is where it gets sort of tricky for me. Currently, I use the terms otherhearted and dragon hearted to describe my experience. But, sometimes, it feels as though otherkin or theriomythic is the correct term. Or maybe some term/experience that represents some blend, intersection or mix of the two or three. For me, being dragonhearted comes from having a strong connection to dragons (specifically/especially feathered, fluffy dragons). Blame it on the HTTYD hyperfixation of 2017, I suppose. It also adds to my nonhuman instincts while also contributing to already existing ones. For me, draconic instincts and behaviours and feline instincts and behaviours are already very similar. So things like craving and making dens or nests are common in both my lynx therianthropy and dragon otherheartedness (is.. this a word?). But there are more unique, specific urges to being draconic. Such as wanting to collect things like my rocks, shells, and soda tabs (I also sort of gather up pens and pen parts. I also sort of want to have bones as well) to create a hoard. These things are more psychological and contribute to why I think other hearted represents this experience. However, some other bits seem to cross the boundaries of just being instincts or a connection. As though the experience would actually be otherkinity or theriomythicity (making up words again. Spawn doesn't know what he's doing). For example, sometimes it feels like it'd be right for me to have actual wings or to have physical dragon attributes like wings and tail (similar to me being a lynx kemonomimi as mentioned before). And, it feels like even if I were to be a theriform lynx or to be in lynx form, that this feeling wouldn't change (one must imagine a canada lynx having phantom wing...). For now, I continue to label it as just dragon hearted. But, that may change in future.

Extras!: This is one of the many reasons why I love watching the How to Train your Dragon movies, especially the second one. It feels like seeing a part of myself being represented when I see the dragons act as themselves and/or interacting with each other or their riders/human companions. I also feel like Hiccup's mother represents a part of me. She's alterhuman in my eyes. The dragoness loves dragon mum ^^

"So, Shroom, how does misceverse play into this?" Glad you asked! It circles right back to instincts and behaviours! (Mostly) Aspects of having instincts, urges, relationship and social dynamics, etc beyond typical human standards just feels right! And the idea of having a unique scent and/or pheromones already ties back into animalistic senses. I personally consider myself an Alpha. Why? I don't know to be honest. It's just the dynamic that fits the most at the moment. And, while I do have some Omega traits (literally just nesting lol) and a few Beta ones (hoarding, sort of), neither of those labels or anything outside of those fits. Now to wonder what being an Alpha even means for me. I guess it's complex. While I would love to be just a bit more socially dominant (and I can be with some of friends in a way), I'm far too socially anxious to do so at the moment. But, it does go beyond just that. To me, it's also wanting to take more leadership roles to make sure that things are done right. But also wanting to care for, look after, and protect those I consider my pack mates! Though, I don't actually know any other misceverse or alterhuman *folkel personally to have pack/colony/herd of my own. The thought of having one (and a Mate. Ew, I'm cringe) of my own is sweet. I hope to have that one day.

Okay!! That's basically it! I hope this makes sense and doesn't just sound like some dragon girl spamming a keyboard (although it is...). My alterhuman is pretty personal to me, but I'd also love to share my experience with others in my community! Honestly, this doesn't cover every aspect. But I think it's still a lot.

for the asks ^

gillman

✨️ . What are some ways you express being misce?

okay, so for me the misceverse is a way to channel my natural nonhuman behaviors that i already had, so you could say that my dynamic expresses itself through my personality which is true, yes, but not very interesting as an answer i know.

the fun part of misceverse for me is basically just indulging in the behaviors: nesting, vocalising, hoarding, scenting, all that. but i normally keep most of these private, since you know, The Stigma™. so scenting is the biggest one for me, which i guess would make it my most "visible" misce trait. basically, ive set up my den and anything inside it, including myself, to smell like vanilla as much as possible. i have a vanilla air freshener, a vanilla candle, a vanilla perfume, a vanilla soap, a vanilla body cream... you get the gist. it sounds overwhelming, but its very soft i promise.

well, it worked very well! my flatmates always comment that my room smells very nice. people notice my smell and recognise me by it. its fun! vanilla is basically my signature scent now, my brand. plus, you start getting some unexpected side effects like friends gifting you vanilla scented items whenever they get the chance. like i said, very fun. everyone should have a signature scent i think. this is not even misceverse propaganda, its just the truth!

thanks for the ask! :D

[talon-dragonbeast]

bought a new vanilla conditioner for my den since the old one is almost empty now and wow its STRONG. now my whole den smells like vanilla, its so nice!

Creature time'd again last week.

It was aghhhh I might be getting too comfy here! Cringe alert.

Very cringe. Weirdo misceverse alterhuman freak-o yapping below

So, I have this thing that, for the sake of this post, I will be dubbing a 'yearn triggers.' Basically things that sort of 'trigger' my personal yearning hours. Like songs.

This time it was freaking baking videos (not getting into much detail about that though; I possess some shame).

In any case, it was bad. Like, biting my pillow bad. Literally.

I feel like I'm in one of those a/b/o fics or drabble where a character goes too long without a pack or mate bond and highkey starts tweaking and going feral =,)

[fallen-and-holy]

In a big dragon mood... draconity is something that is. So special to me/us in a way that I can't fully articulate. Dragons, specifically HTTYD but also dragons in general, were my first special interest I remember having. I also discovered that i was alterhuman though my draconity, and though I've figured out many other identities over the years, being a dragon was the first real sense of identity that i defined myself with.

Draconity is important to me too. A dragon form was the first one I chose for myself, my first independent decision that I can remember. And now, it's my first real sense of identity- the only label i feel really attached to. -Cypher

The flames (pun intended) of passion of that early hyperfixation have dimmed a bit over the years, but it's still really important to me and to us. It's something we share, being dragons together. Sharing similar instincts, subvocals, and a miscedraconis identity is really special in a way I can't accurately describe.

not really sure what the point of all this is, but it feels nice to talk a bit about what being a dragon means to us.
