"But I'm not human, I'm something better. I'm me."

PFP by @percycolondee

✨️New✨️ intro, because the other one is really old.

Hello, whoever may be reading this, I go many names such as; Mia, Grian, [The] Collector, and Scott. I also like nicknames, like; Gri, Collie, and any others you may think of.

Contrary to what my... psychical appearance may lead you to believe, I am not human and would prefer it if you don't refer to me as such. Thank you. Instead, you may call me a vampire, a cat, a person, a being, or a creature.

I am a cat (therian), and a vampire(kin). Unfortunately, I was born in the wrong body/world, so I look like a human. Also, I am The Collector from The Owl House along with Grian from the Life Series and Scott Goldsmith from Vampire SMP.

I am also kinsidering Kate Bishop from Hawkeye (mcu) and SBK!Scott from, well, skyblock kingdoms. I am funlink of Hyde from The Glass Scientists

I miss a lot of sourcemates and would love to talk to and befriend some. However, I am not comfortable with Belos interacting, due to the whole throwing me off a cliff thing. I'm iffy on Watchers, Pyro and Owen as well. You may interact but I'll probably be a little cold. I hold grudges, sorry.

I also prefer to use She/her/they/them pronouns. More, such as other blogs, will be under cut. However if you don't read that bit, that's fine.

From, Scott.

Just a reminder that this blog is a safe space for otherlinks, funlinks, copinglinks, otherpaws, and other voluntary identities.

Sfw age regressors, age dreamers, pet regressors, etc are safe here too!

Keep being creative, keep having fun, keep expressing yourselves, I support yall.

[the-cat-llector-has-wings]

So apparently there's some infighting or something in the alter/nonhuman community about otherpaws/funlinks, so I just want to say

My blog will always be welcoming and safe for otherpaws, funlinks, etc. Probably obvious from my recent reblogs, but wanted to say this anyway

And I ask people who disagree to please DNI

[thepolymorphexperience]

Disrespectfully, who let these fucks into the community?

I obviously don’t speak on behalf of the alterhuman community but if your views are the same as these individuals: get the fuck out of this community.

Y’all preach to end cringe culture and pull this shit?

Exclusionists don’t belong in the alterhuman community. You’re just trying to create discourse where there is none.

“People roleplaying as animals are mocking us” who tf is ‘us’ people have pretended to be animals probably since the beginning of time, honestly.

“I’m a REAL animal, not like those FAKE animals” you’re a loser to be honest, lol

I love you voluntary nonhumans. I love you otherpaws.

[five-red-feathers]

the blog description 😭😭 what does that even meannnn

[falconthropy]

"Im gonna assume ur way too woke to be in alterhuman community" while using terf labels and being an exclusionist for some reason

Its the same mindset of people saying that trans gender people need to transition, why are they so against their own community..? At this point I don't believe this is serious

[itsapup]

We need to spread otherlink and transspecies propaganda NOW. I see so many post where someone is like “I want to identify as a fox ^_^” and everyone is like “NO. Therianthropy is not voluntary, you POSER! You’re just otherpaw!” Hey. You can willingly be an animal. You know that right? Therianthropy isn’t the only form of being an alterhuman. We should educate people on labels they can use instead of assuming they are malicious.

Remembered I can kinfirm someone and if I later figure out i was wrong then it's okay

I'M GREEN but specifically an AU where I lived and had children. i miss them (I think my source may be this one green × red × purple AU comic I read).

[the-cat-llector-has-wings]

might be Green but I have a small Amongi to crochet so I'll worry about it later

[the-cat-llector-has-wings]

I think I am and that I had kids help me. I'm feeling weirdly parental towards the small Amongi I'm making and it's very similar to the way I feel towards kittens (I feel that way because I'm a cat and whenever I see young kittens I feel the need to be parental in like a cat way. A cat adopting a random kitten it found way. Am I making any sense? At all?)

And also I've been seeing a lot of fankids and I have Strong Emotions.

[the-cat-llector-has-wings]

I want my children back please and thank you

Looking for more wolf related music?

If any other wolves out there are looking for more wolf related music, other than "Running with the Wolves" (which is a great song don't get me wrong) this piece is super beautiful.

It's a duet between a real wolf howling and a saxophone echoing its howls. The instrumentals are breathtaking and the wolf's somber howling gives me the biggest chills. It makes me so shifty, like the wolf is calling out to me from the rain.

🐾 *☆° 🐾 *☆° 🐾 *☆° 🐾 *☆° 🐾 *☆°🐾 *☆°

This artist has many other great animal related tracks like "Magdalena" which is great for ocean related therians and kin like seals, sea birds, etc and their piece "Lullaby from the Great Mother Whale" is great for whales and other aquatic beings

Shoutout to all the alterhumans who aren’t white. To all the alterhumans who are disabled. To all the neurodivergent alterhumans. To all the queer alterhumans. To all the alterhumans who aren’t schoolkids. To all the alterhumans who don’t speak English. To all the alterhumans who come from somewhere other than the US. To all the alterhumans who aren’t sure what they are yet. To all the alterhumans who aren’t out to their families and/or friends. To all the alterhumans who don’t fit in with the TikTok stereotype of what an alterhuman is “supposed” to be like.

You are beautiful. You are loved.

Otherbond

Other-bond ▪︎ (noun)

Definition: an inclusive alterhuman term used to describe a close group of alterhumans and nonhumans of multiple species. This relationship often exceeds the confines of human or typical friend groups.

Alternate forms:

Bondmate(s): member(s) of an otherbond

Otherbonded: verb

Otherbonds: plural form

Example: Our otherbond is made of a human, unicorn, cat, and a vampire.

Example: The dog and the dolphin always play together because they are otherbonded.

Similar words: pack, flock, herd, family, friends, group, relationship

----

Circle: How those that are otherbonded protects and cares for each other

Center point: How an otherbond stays loyal to one another even when they go through life separately

Sun shape: the joy and comfort that comes from being cared for by bondmates

----

This word can be used in regard to theriform entities and is not limited to only otherkin and therians. Its purpose is to be an inclusive term to describe a familial or friendly relationship between a group of entities regardless of identity.

The original intent of this term is, however, to describe a group of alterhumans of various species and types.

This can also be used to represent a group of one type of beings if each believes they enjoy the term. Especially if they are a species that is typically solitary but still have really close relationships with others. Or between a theriform entity and an alterhuman entity.

Use this term however you wish to interpret it ♡
