For a long time, I never thought I could be a physical alterhuman because all I knew about physical alterhumans was they experienced physical shifts, and from what I know, I neither physically transform nor experience clinical lycanthropy. However, I've learned that not all physical alterhumans can be boiled down to just "physical shapeshifter." Some are always physically their 'type. Some have genetics of their 'type. Some simply assert that because they're nonhuman, so is their body, no matter what its external shape is.

All this to say, I think I might be in the genetics camp. I'm a descendant of Hati Hroovitnisson, one of Fenrir's pups. My dad told me I have Irish heritage, explaining why I'm a selkie- and it's likely my lycanthropy/cynanthropy comes from the intersection between those lines, as I have a theory the Werewolves of Ossory (you might know them from Wolfwalkers, but they come from a real werewolf myth) were Pagan Norse-Gaels before the story was Christianized. I relate my cynanthropy in specific to my theriform black GSD sister, who was my dad's dog. My dad was also a psychic vampire in his youth, and while I don't think I have vampiric powers, I do feel a connection to vampires (vampirehearted?) and have a bat kintype. I fully believe that at least some of my kintypes are physical in that they are genetic, likely on my dad's side (though I wouldn't be surprised if my mom also has some critter in her), and I am likely a 'dormant'/non-transforming werebeast, explaining strange sensations I've experienced that aren't quite phantom shifts and my urge to transform.

I'd be interested to hear other physical alterhumans' perspectives and if this makes sense. I still don't know everything about this label, and could only find resources for physical shifts when I looked up the term, so it would be nice to find some proper info on this aside from just others' accounts.

tbh i don’t consider “were” to be a term that inherently implies humanity cuz “were” is rly old english for “man” (as in gender, not species—the fem is “wif”), so i interpret “were” as “person” in light of humans’ gender bias using “man” for the general “person”

this is how werewolves are named in chinese too— 狼人 lit. “wolf person”. so i get why some english speakers might feel “person” is heavily human, but in chinese it’s common to invoke 人-ness as something you don’t just be, but also perform. kinda like gender, or any other social role!

however, beware— in slang, 狼人 also means a “pervert” !! xD

Personal moodboard; the angry dog in the distance. Writing kin thoughts in a more creative way. <3

I was made in his image to be something unspeakable, animalistic and remarkably unhuman.

I was made to bear my teeth for those who couldn't, sink them deep and reap havoc on others behalf.

To be angry and loud. To bristle and growl. My paws hitting the ground, the rain soaking my pelt. Doesn't matter if the shot hurts, it sure as hell ain't taking me down without some blood being spilled on the behalf of the unholy creatures.

In their name, image, and breath.

I reside here and I continue to prowl my lands and protecting those unable to protect themselves.
