Hello! You can call me Raven or Hound and this is my main blog. Focusing on Alterhumanity, paganism, oddities, anthropology, art and history. This is the place where I’ll simply dump ideas, thoughts, conversations, etc. until I start up a substack or something similar if folks or critters are interested.
Please do not interact if you are homophobic, transphobic, anti-nonhuman/therian/etc, transmed, and honestly just be a decent creature and we’ll be okay. I do not engage with any discourse, as I am often not in those communities or want my blog to be clouded with negativity. If I interact with a problematic creature, please let me know privately so we can communicate.
BLOG TW: Oddities (mostly bones), talk of the dead, religion discussions (RESPECTFUL ONES!). Posts will have their respected tags and often have cuts! As long as you filter them, you’ll be okay here <3
More about me below 𓃦
Names: Raven / Hound
Age: 19
I use he/they/it + Canine Bioterms!
I really enjoy writing, art, journaling, researching, gaming and reading as hobbies. I wish to get back into photography after I can afford a new battery for my camera! I’m currently getting a degree in anthropology as it is my biggest interest. I really enjoy topics relating to death, ancient cultures, art history and classic novels.
I am also a kemetic + Hellenistic polytheist/pagan! I am currently worshipping Lord Anpu and Lady Bast, but I’m expanding my horizons once my current space is more organized.
As mentioned multiple times, I am nonhuman. Confirmed kins are:
* Costal Sea Wolf
* Fallow Deer
* Bleeding Heart Dove
* Viktor - Arcane
These are my most prominent kins so far. As I was only awakened a few years ago (2024) and have been in the stages of truly accepting my identity. I also have some non-confirmed kins:
* Tiger
* Peter Parker
* Corvids (perhaps ravens) (lol)
* Cat
* raccoon
* dhole
* Shiba Inu
* Horse
I am still learning terms, definitions and how I stand within some things in the nonhuman community. So please be respectful, kind, and helpful when it comes to this! I am very openminded.

I am looking for moots and friends!! Dm’s and Asks are open! I promise I wont bite. Just dont be under 16 when dming. I also am TAKEN by my lovely mate. So do not flirt with me either.
Am i the only one who feels really bad about being a wolf sometimes? Many critters in the alterhuman community talk about extraordinary and unusual 'types, but i feel like it's many times belittling critters who are "basic". I see critters talking about their unique thereotypes, and I'm really glad they do so! But many times they sneak in the "everyones a wolf or a cat". Like yes, there's many of us, but that doesn't mean we should feel any less good about being ourselves. I myself have many "unusual" and "unique" 'types, but I'm mostly a wolf. I just want to be a wolf without feeling guilty about the fact that I'm "basic" and "not interesting".
And of course i know it's not true, but it still makes me feel belittled and not good in general.
Can other alterhumans please relate to this moment when you just want to growl at someone or something and you just physically struggle to restrain yourself. Growl or hiss or meow or any animalistic noise that wouldn't be accepted in our society. Because I cannot keep count of all the times I've fought every cell in my body not to purr or growl or hiss as an instinctive emotional reaction.
This happens to me really frequently. Mostly when im annoyed or irritated, sometimes stressed out. I thankfully don’t do it around my family as they already judge me for being alt, pagan, etc. so Im used to hiding stuff like that.
As a society we should normalize making noises that isnt just yelling or sighing when upset
Does any critter have any ideas to get over feeling cringe? It genuinely haunts my being every waking second due to past situations of being bullied beyond reason. But I really enjoy expressing myself and thinking about fandoms and selfshipping, etc.
Like I recently realized that a hearthome of mine is likely a minecraft Jungle, but I just feel so odd saying that out loud. ALSO THE CRINGE ONLY GOES FOR ME! I don’t judge others at all. Like if a different creature mentioned feeling at home in a minecraft jungle, i’d be excited for them.
