𐔌՞. .՞𐦯 Introduction post
Hello! I am Forrest. I am a trans man, gay, asexual, xenogender, otherkin, autistic, age regressor, yumeshipper, and Hellenist.
I don’t plan on posting much, if at all, but if I do it will most likely be stream of consciousness posts. I mostly lurk and am not well versed in the social rules of Tumblr, so sorry if I preform some ancient faux pas.
I will expand on my identities, hobbies, interests, religion, DNI, etc. below. I understand that it is a lot, and do not require you to read it in the slightest. This is simply there for those who desire it.
I want this blog to remain mostly about my otherkin experience, so I have multiple other sideblogs for things such as my yumeshipping, age/pet regression, fictionmarrowed experiences, and my more 18+ thoughts/experiences. Feel free to follow those if you find them interesting, I suppose.
I collect and identify as many genders, to the extent that I cannot list them all here. However, I will list some of my main identities below:
Similarly, I identify with many pronouns, but mainly use he/him, it/its, and doll/dolls on myself, so you may use those as well. I do also use many more pronouns (pup/vamp/mew/co/alto/star/plush/fir/thou, etc.) so feel free to mess around with those, though do not feel obligated to.
My kintypes (and heart-types) are as listed below:
⟢ Felis catus cladotherian
⟢ German shepherd therian
It’s a lot, I know, but it’s me. In general, I identify as non-human and prefer not to be called human, though I cannot change the way people speak about me. I identify wholly and personally as each of my kintypes, and do not prescribe to the idea of being a “normal” or socially acceptable otherkin. If people cannot understand me for who and what I am, then so be it.
꒰ᐢ. .ᐢ꒱ Hobby/interest stuff
My hobbies/interests—the ones that will be seen on this account, at least—are as listed below:
» Stimboards and stimboard making
» Fiction and essay writing
» Reading and writing poetry
» Creation and consumption of music
» Collecting (bones, figurines, and other knickknacks)
While I most likely will not post much about fandoms, I may interact with posts about the following:
𖦹 Toilet-bound Hanako-kun
𖦹 The Spiderverse film series
૮ • ﻌ - ა Religion stuff
I am a Hellenist/Hellenic pagan. I worship the Greek pantheon and my religion is a part of everything I do. I am a personal devotee to Apollon; I have an altar to him in my living space and devote my very existence to him.
I do not support religions discrimination. People of all faiths are welcome here, as long as they are respectful. I do understand not wishing people of certain religions or faiths to interact with oneself, and I will not push such boundaries.
My DNI is not about hate, but about who I am comfortable interacting with. I block freely if necessary.
× Homophobic/transphobic — this includes biphobia, aphobia, etc., as well as those who encourage queer infighting and those who police “contradictory” identities
× Racism of any flavor — respect your neighbors and work on your bigotry
× Pedo/Zoophilia — I feel this should be obvious, but if you are a proud pedo/zoo (this includes autozoophilia and loli/shota shit) get the hell away from me. If you’re working on recovery and removing harmful urges, good on you. I’d still rather you not follow me, but I wish you luck in your journey. If you look at a being that cannot consent, fictional or otherwise, and have any fantasy or intention of assaulting it I hope you get help when possible
× Against good-faith xenogenders and xeno/neopronouns
× Against any form of non-humanity — including physical alterhumans, otherkin/alterhumans who experience delusions, and other such “decisive” beings
× DDLG, DDLB, etc. accounts — I don’t care what you do in the bedroom, but I do not want to see it
× Conservatives/republicans — I am American and the decision made by the republican party to support and vote for a fascist president is actively harming me
× Those who demonize or discriminate against sex workers
× Proana/self-harm accounts — I understand the pain you are going through and that you are seeking community, but I am a recovered anorexic and sober from a self-harm addiction, so seeing the hurt that once haunted me is something I would rather avoid
× Proship/profiction — I understand that Tumblr has a large profic community, so let me say this here: I am anti-harassment, but I am not pro-allowing-people-to-engage-publicly-in-harmful-behaviors. There is a line between harassing someone and expressing that what they are doing is harmful. It is not the representation of abuse and other such harm that irks me, but the glorification and enjoyment of it. If that is what it takes to get you off, I ask that you do not interact with me
× Radqueer/those transIDs — this does not include transspecies (sorry y’all get lumped in with them) and obviously does not involve transgender identities. If you support harmful identities or any of that “transharmed, transabuser, transracial, etc.” do not interact
I may also block for reasons not listed here, but these are the main interaction barriers. General hate and public shaming of anything one deems “cringe” is typically where I draw the line.
I will use a few tags/hashtags to mark certain types of posts. I’ll do my best to be consistent with this, but I may miss a few.
𓆃 forrest rants - rant posts, typically angry
𓆃 forrest whines - vent/complaining posts, usually more somber than angry
𓆃 forrest puppy posts - puppy posting
𓆃 forrest found something - pics or descriptions of objects I found/collected
𓆃 forrest made something - pics or descriptions of objects I made
𓆃 forrest does fandoms - fandom posts
𓆃 forrest otherkin posts - posts about specific otherkin identities
𓆃 forrest religion posts - posts about religion/pertaining mention of my religion
𓆃 forrest yaps - general posts, doesn’t fall into another category, probably yapping
𓆃 forrest reblogs - reblog posts
૮ ◞ ﻌ ◟ ა Content warning stuff
I will talk about some things here that may be upsetting. I will tag any content I believe could be triggering with the respective warning tags, but I will put here some of the more common topics—particularly those that I will not tag for one reason or another
∘ ∘ ∘ Sexuality and sexual discomfort — I will talk about my discomfort with sex and sexuality, my asexuality, and my celibacy on this blog, typically in reference to how my alterhumanity affects my experiences
∘ ∘ ∘ Food — I will talk openly about food and post photos of said food. These posts will not be tagged with a content warning
∘ ∘ ∘ Past and present mental health issues — I may bring up my past issues with self-harm, suicidal ideation, and disordered eating. I will in no way glorify this time of my life but may discuss it in reference to how those experiences affect me now, both mentally and physically
∘ ∘ ∘ Death — as a necrokin, ghostkin, and angelkin, death will be a common topic of discussion here, and thus will not be tagged with a content warning unless I find it particularly necessary
∘ ∘ ∘ Discrimination — I openly discuss my experiences being discriminated against due to my gender, sexuality, disability, etc. I will not tag these discussions with a warning unless they are particularly disturbing
∘ ∘ ∘ Caps/cursing — this is my blog and I will type how I wish. There will be no tags for text in all caps or for inappropriate language
A massive “thank you” is owed to anyone who read this much. I did not write this with the expectation that it be read—only that it be here and available should it be needed. Below I will list a few other things about me that did not fit the above criteria:
༄ I am autistic and not very good with tone through text. My written voice tends to fluctuate often, though try not to assume malice in any harsh wording. I tend to write as I speak: directly. I will express if I am truly upset. Due to my issues with text I am likely not to respond to DMs, as I struggle to find a proper response
༄ I have PoTS, and flareups—as well as burnout—can cause me to be inactive for long periods of time
༄ I prefer to keep personal information to myself, so will not disclose much beyond what I have stated here
Again, thank you to anyone who has read this far. This platform is a nice escape from the vitriol of everyday life, and I appreciate everyone who comes here to post, interact, or simply lurk.
