Stretching in such the right way that you can feel your fins ripple and flare ouuuuuuuu

phantom fins are such a delight for me they're not as flowy as media often depict fishbeast fins but just feeling the shape and the movement especially when i'm in water makes me giddy, and just feeling them shift as I move puts a stupid ass grin on my face, often my most frequent type of phantomshift and the most welcomed

I think sitting on the floor of the ocean for a few hours would fix me

Sigh sorry for my prolonged absence i have been taking a lot of marine biology classes and lost track of well everything.

but oh my god the amount of time I've been able to spend near or in water makes my fishy heart soar damn near been in the water almost every day hehe it sucks that this academic year is almost over but that means I can give myself more focused beachtime I suppose :'}

i'm probably gonna be active here again but bye for now

Hey!

I would like to make more friends in the community, so I figured I would make a post! Anyone is welcome, though I would especially love any aquatic, space, or alien non/alterhuman friends!

Happy Wet Beast Wednesday to my fellow fish monsters

I could not raise a human child because I am not a human.

Their needs are vastly different from my pups, not to mention how helpless they are for so long. They have no survival instinct and can attract predators with their screeching.

I've never known how to be human. Maybe it's autism or trauma, or simply because I'm a dog. But I could not teach someone else the inherent knowledge that humans are born with simply because I do not have it.

Why the fuck are we creating subtypes of 'therian'? tiktok therian? Tumblr therian? lets just vibe together and not form fucking cliques this isnt a high school musical.

Having a kintype that is a fishman kinda goes crazy when your other kintype is a monstrous nightmare from httyd

On one hand I feel so at home in the water and often find myself fantasizing about living in it forever but on the other hand fire good fire great go fly out their make the house as hot as possible

word vomit incoming

anyone who wants to hear the confused garbles of your neighborhood gill man should click below. i just blab!

talking about my alterhumanity with people who don't understand alterhumanity is always so strange to me. Because I tell them my experiences and they get it, they understand how my sense of self has veered towards being a monster, how my phantom sensations have developed and how yes, my brain understands my body and my mind to be nonhuman. But they don't get that I'm One Of Them.

The tiktok therian teenagers and I? We're the same. I'm the same as the ones on tumblr with 20 kintypes who you think is weird. We're on the same team, I can not express just how similar the people you don't get and I are connected.

And bless her, I love my friend. She really does get me, and I think she'd get anyone who told her their story, but it is still such an interesting experience to talk about alterhumanity with them.

And I never outright told her that I was nonhuman, but it was the general "They experience what I experience, they just call it something different" (I don't call myself otherkin irl for a myriad of reasons despite talking openly about feeling not human, but I digress... I'll probably tell her sooner or later, though.... who knows). I don't know, its wild.

Regardless, it just makes me thankful to be otherkin and just. not fully human. It's provided me comfort and a place to experience emotions that I simply could not fit into a fully human identity. I'm able to connect with people who are like me and enjoy my body in a way that I don't think many others can. Seeing myself as nonhuman has made me more confident and I'm able to tackle issues better now that I have an outlet for all of these emotions.

And this is very much the copinglink side of me talking, here. My nonhumanity does stem from my lived experiences and I would have these emotions regardless of if I identified with being otherkin or not. But I feel that the way I interact with these feelings very much fall into copinglink. Only my gill man identity, though! The alien otherkin part is fully just otherkin, just how I am treated shaping how I see myself. It's why I don't talk about it all too much and why my blog is mostly gill man themed. It provides me so so so much more comfort than being an alien does.

anyway. gifs of the asset that make me. feel things.
