@tobethoughtuplater
hey there, call me damien or felix. im not gonna give you my main blog though.
my pronouns are he/it, and if you think I'll be upset by being called nonhuman, well, i won't be anymore.
ex-protestant, ex-conservative, anarcho-communist with a hate for god and a love of sacrilege.
trans guy, aromantic, probably gay.
dm me if you want
expect demonkin, fallenangelkin, religious trauma/exchristian, and aesthetics here. cw for teeth, claws, and violent/angry imagery here.
Uh oh, looks like I'm going to the fiery no no place. I got 20 of those bad boys.
Reblog this with how many you got! Fun new challenge.
Blank one for ya sinful heathens 😂
I love that “playing Space Invaders” and “not eating meat” are ranked at the same level as “transforming into a wolf”, “hovering in the air unsupported” and “literally raising the dead”.
can i hear a wahoo
who wants to teach me how to levitate and astral project
Microdosing on evil by knocking things off the counter like a cat
How dare you tell me to turn the other cheek instead of telling the offender not to strike
Or, how dare you for telling me I can't beat the shit out of them back
Precisely. I will not turn the other cheek. I will develop the unbiblical virtue of self-preservation, of teaching the offender their actions have consequences.
Summer & Gaurdian themed fluffy grey cat moodboard for @felix-the-white-wolf !
trying a new style, hope this is okay!
Otherpunk
Belief in full acceptance of alterhuman identities, supporting differences between one another, inclusion of one another, and defying strict lines or gatekeeping between identities.
Otherpunk does not require you to be in any specific alterhuman category or label, only that you consider yourself alterhuman, or alterhuman-adjacent. Furthermore, you do not have to reject labels in order to be otherpunk. You are allowed to find labels extremely useful for yourself and still be otherpunk, so long as you are okay with those who do otherwise.
The purpose of otherpunk is primarily for solidarity between the different alterhuman groups, and rejecting the notion that different labels have vastly different, or "more valid" experiences. For many, the lines between various alterhuman identities are blurred, or within a grey area, and for others, they may still be figuring themselves out entirely. It is also inclusive of alterhuman experiences of varying degrees and walks of life.
Otherpunk also represents self identification; the labels that one uses should come from personal identification and comfort within a label, not gatekeeping or forcing into a specific box through outside parties. Otherpunk believes that alterhuman groups are ultimately each other's allies, and that solidarity between groups is important. Instead of focusing on our differences, otherpunk focuses on our similarities and our mutual efforts for acceptance and representation.
Otherpunk is all-inclusive. No alterhuman experience is a fake one, and one's experience with their alterhuman identity is for themselves alone to question or judge. Otherpunk is also accepting of those who do not use labels at all, and those who are questioning and experimenting with various labels. Furthermore, otherpunk is inclusive of lesser known alterhuman identities, such as altervexo, othervague, endel, and constelic.
Otherpunk is not to be used by those who harass, gatekeep, or force others into other identifications. Otherpunk is not inclusive of those who do any of these things, and it is not accepting of fakeclaiming or harassment in general. It is also not for ableists, or those who believe that any form of alterhumanity is "just" something else (ex: those who believe spiritual otherkin are inherently delusional rather than otherkin.)
The term otherpunk comes from various usages of "other" within the community, such as otherkin, otherlink, otherhearted, and so on. Alterpunk was originally considered a synonym for this term, however there are some issues with using "alter" as a prefix for a punk label, so I decided to settle on "other." (Furthermore, ontopunk had this same issue.)
The symbols, and the flags:
This symbol is meant to represent various alterhuman communities, and how they are interconnected together. The circle and/or diamond is used in various different symbols, such as for therian and otherhearted, and the diamond loop shows our connection and similarities.
The flags colors are as follows: Green represents "otherness", or being alterhuman/nonhuman. Blue represents solidarity between labels and experiences. Dark purple/pink represents uplifting and supporting personal identification, alongside lesser known labels. Black represents alterhuman history, and the foundations of our community.
This term, the flags, and the symbols are welcome to be used by all that identify with it, so long as you do not claim it is your own.
Do not put discourse on my post. If you do, you will be blocked. Thank you for respecting my boundaries.
Getting absolutely knocked on my ass by the idea that, in a literal interpretation of the Genesis account of Eden, we were never supposed to have the knowledge of good and evil.
we were not supposed to have free will. it was only because of the forces of 'evil' (evil according to god) that we have the freedom to make both good and bad choices (also determined by god, according to christians).
Happy October to all the non-humans, used-to-be-humans, barely-humans, and not-really-humans out there ! Let your true self be observed on this wonderful time of year.
Happy October to those living, dead and undecided. You’re all perfect.
4 and 9, for the ask game!
4. Was any person, book, or something else instrumental in your deconversion?
Well, peopleand an experience. I went to a camp (not church camp, this was called Sunflower Girls State and was for kids of active/veteran military to learn about local and state government) with a bunch of people and my impression was that about half of them in my group were bisexual, but the main thing was that I got to speak my mind on certain topics for the first time. Beliefs that would have made my parents and the church yell at me or worse, back when my stepdad was still around. It was a slow realization that I'd never be able to have my own thoughts or my own identity while I was still in the church that started kicking it for me, then more things followed.
9. What's one thing that made my glad I left:
It's really stupid, but I'm glad I don't have to read the depressing prophets of the old testament ever again unless I really really want to. Reading shit like Lamentations just made me really upset but it was mandatory for a church group I was in (reading the whole bible, not just the sad parts, even song of Solomon, and we were not yet adults).
Ask Game for Apostates, Exchristians, Deconverters and Questioners

1. Do you identify as an apostate, exvangelical, ex-(denomination), heretic, or something else?
2. How would you describe your current beliefs?
3. Have you gotten emotional support from friends in deconverting/deconstructing? Would you like more support? Have you found any online?
4. Was any person, book, or something else instrumental in your deconversion?
5. Who have you told about your deconversion/change in beliefs?
6. Favorite piece(s) of media that speaks to your experiences?
7. Do you like angels or demons?
8. What gives you purpose?
9. Whats one thing that makes you glad you left?
10. What do you love about the world?
11. Has deconverting impacted your experience of gender or sexuality?
12. What are some things that make you happy?
13. (tw) Do you relate to the concept of Religious Trauma Syndrome?
Obligatory is not enough.
i was not purified by suffering.
"like gold tried seven time by fire."
they meant to create a weapon, yes; but a weapon that was easily controlled. dull. a tool, not sharp enough to be much of threat. a letter-opener. delicate.
they wanted someone submissive. someone content under a thumb, happy to obey, eager to serve. someone empty of self, easy to fill with a thousand lies.
i was forged but i am not gold.
they made a weapon, but i am no decorative blade.
i am iron. i am the sword they fear.
so often, survivors are depicted as soft, broken pieces held together by kind eyes and warm smiles and wholesome intent. they are good, pure, gentle.
i did not come out soft or warm or kind. i came out dangerous.
i bare my teeth, and they think it is a smile.
if i am kind, it is because i know what it is to be treated cruelly. if i am gentle, it is because i do not wish for anyone else to be treated as roughly as i was. if i seem wholesome, if i seem pure, it is because i know there is enough darkness.
but i am not good, and i am not kind. i survived. i fought.
i survived because my teeth were sharper than theirs. i survived because i was every evil thing they told me to fear, and worse. i am not good.
i am what they fear. i am what they hate.
sacrilege tastes sweet
when i was still an xtian, i heard the song 'ten thousand reasons' in church and took it as a personal challenge to come up with 10,000 reasons to be thankful to gd in a little over a year (or maybe under, i can remember now) which amounted to about 44 reasons a day. When I couldnt come up with 44 reasons a day, I thought i was a horrible pompous sinner because I was going to heaven, I should find 10,000 things to be grateful for in a year, right? I was alive. I wasn't fucking struck down for being evil with the first breath I took, even though I was born a sinner. Born evil. Born deserving hell. Fucking jesus died for me, that should mean that even though I was getting more depressed every day I should still be able to thank gd for 44 fucking things a day, right? Cause otherwise, what was I? evil, thankless, prideful, entitled.
fucks sake.
anyways. sometimes i think about the fact that i wouldn’t feel guilty for doing shit except that the catholic church told me it’s immoral and the only way to feel better and soothe my conscience is through the church. and then they use that as a reason the church is true and real and god is loving
oh i should feel better since i’ve been forgiven for these things which aren’t things i should have to ask forgiveness for? wtf
A twitter thread by Caitlin J. Stout @CaitlinJStout from Feb 25 2021 reading,
A friend asked the other day what percentage of people I went to youth group with “deconstructed” and what percentage remained evangelical. As I thought about it, I realized that for the most part it was the kids who took their faith the most seriously who eventually walked away.
Those of us who tearfully promised that we would follow Jesus anywhere eventually followed him out the door. The Queer kids, more than anyone, learned exactly what it meant to work out our faith with fear and trembling.
They told us to read the Bible and take it seriously and then mocked us for becoming “social justice warriors.”
Now they’re warning us not to deconstruct to the point of meaninglessness.
But they took a chisel to God until he fit in a box. They “deconstructed” the concept of love until it allowed them to tolerate sexual abuse, celebrate white supremacy, and look away from kids in cages.
Some of us got to where we are because we took it all to heart. We took the most foundational elements of our faith to their natural conclusions. Folks who deconstruct evangelicalism aren’t drop-outs; they’re graduates.
“Your kids are not leaving the church because you didn’t train them enough. Your kids are leaving the church because you trained them well enough to develop a sense for truth and justice. You let them read the words of Jesus - and they got it. And they’ve recognized that the church doesn’t seem to be interested in those words. They’re not leaving because they don’t know the truth, they’re leaving because they do.“
- Rhett McLaughlin
“But they took a chisel to God until he fit into a box” is probably the RAWEST line I’ve ever read in my life. Holy shit.
I may have reblogged this already but it beats repeating.
