"alterhumans just wanna be quirky!"

tell that to the therians who are shunned for being too wild, too animalistic. tell that to the fictionkins who can't watch a scene of themselves being hurt because it brings back too many memories. tell that to every fallen angel who can't go into a church without sobbing, tell that to every marionette being dragged by its strings until it's broken, tell that to every song who went deaf and is forgetting what it sounds like.

tell it to all of us. or are you scared?

I made some things and will probably make more

[hellshire-harlot]

To the animals, the wolves, the lions, the foxes and cats and birds: Your eyes shine so brightly. Your fur is luscious, your feathers luxurious, your teeth furious and beautiful. Your claws are sharper than you think. One day, you will get them back. One day, you will be helpless, human, no more.

To the fairies, the angels, the aliens, the demons, the mermaids and sirens, the divine: Even here you are powerful. Even here you are divine and beautiful. Your wings are gorgeous, your horns and haloes majestic, your tails ethereal. Home will welcome you, welcome us all, with open arms one day.

To my fellow dolls, the marionettes, the puppets, the toys and ball-jointed: We may be delicate, but our subtle power defines us. We bend and move and dance in ways no human ever could. One day, our everlasting regality will return to us.

To the voids, the glitches, the abstract, the eldritch, the robots, the objectheads: Do with this brief moment of flesh what you will. You know who you really are inside, and that’s all that matters. Your soul still bleeds the color of the stars.

To the monsters, the zombies, the cryptids, the vampires, the werewolves and ghosts: The world will always fear that which it does not understand. We understand each other, and through this we have made our own world. We create our reality, and that’s what’s important.

To the therians, the otherkin, the fictionkin, voidpunks, and all other nonhumans: We are strong. We know who and what we are. We know what this flesh conceals. One day, the world will see us for who we are and accept us as her children all the same. For now, we persevere.

puppetgender - a gender connected to puppets. someone who is puppetgender may also identify as puppetkin. note: while I'm most certainly not the first puppet to coin "puppetgender" I have had a hard time finding flags that aren't from deactivated sources so I made my own. I'm also going to leave an alt version of the flag (that you are welcome to use if you prefer it)

feel free to use this flag, credit appreciated but not needed you are welcome to post this to a wiki for archival purposes

Puppetkin but in the way that puppets are made to be alive, I’m not being puppeteered with hands or rods or string, I simply am a living creature of felt and plush

I GOT MY LIBRO GORDO 1.1 IN THE MAIL TODAY!!!!

and after that i proceeded to have something that is probably some conscious stroke because of art of myself that i haven't seen-yet

oh so jolly yet obnoxious!!! ^

and then this that i first captioned as "help me" and in a different server as "POLICARPO POST ah fuck oh shit i apologize for all of this something has struck me"

"ah there's seven of them!!! there's se--"

and then the me-influenced-sugar rush ended and i was just standing there like "wtf was i do-ing????"
