My Ever Shifting Life @xass4ss1n - Tumblr Blog

"we cant have trannies in our schools, WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN?????? THEY'RE BEING CORRUPTED!!!!", they cry.

you're teaching your children to segregate human beings by arbitrary traits that don't affect them in any way shape or form.

you're teaching your children to hate.

you're teaching your children to be violent.

so, what was that about the children? who's corrupting them, again?

there’s something that’s incredible about the intersectionality and flexibility of werewolves as metaphor.

anger issues? werewolf. intrusive thoughts? werewolf. unresolved trauma? werewolf. rejection by society? werewolf. autism? werewolf. transgenderism? werewolf. queer expression of any sort? werewolf. plurality? werewolf. dissociation? werewolf. repression of any sort? werewolf. abuse cycles? werewolf. emotion so strong it physically changes you? werewolf!!!

really doing it all

Interesting theory though

TW for venting, fear aggression, negatively triggered shifts, trauma, and forcefulness.

Having fear-based and trauma/coping-based shifts suck for me. A lot.

I'm autistic. Over the years, I've learned to use my animality as a way to protect myself from threatening people. This mainly involves authorities, the law, teachers/principals, and family members.

If these people confront me or force me to do anything, I shift. On top of that, my fight or flight response is triggered, I shut down, and I show fear aggression in order to protect myself from any real or perceived threats. This is mainly a trauma response and my default in these situations.

I have to restrain myself from growling, snarling, and scowling at these people in order to seem socially normal and nonthreatening, all the while my brain is screaming at me to be anything but normal and nonthreatening.

Society expects me to keep going with my human responsibilities and to be okay and accepting of whatever they forced onto me. It expects me to never have these shifts and urges in the first place. It expects me not to have trauma responses and not to feel panic after being forced. It requires me to be their version of "normal". To be neurotypical. To be human.

If I don't listen to its demands and remain uncooperative with those threatening people, I am punished and threatened. I am overpowered. I've almost gotten in trouble with the law twice because of these responses, and on many more occasions, I've been seen as some sort of monster.

If I was in the body of a canine, I would be doing what's normal. What's right. What's expected.

But I'm in the body of a human. I'm unacceptable, and I can't change that.

I wish I wasn't a stranger in my own skin

something about a horror beyond your comprehension, except they're surprisingly friendly and gentle with you >>>

the creature underneath your bed or in your closet, coming out to ask you if you're ok after a nightmare, and even possibly comfort you until you're ready to go back to sleep.

the thing in the woods at night cornering you at a dead end, you shitting yourself thinking this is it, only for it to bend down and ask - in somewhat broken & awkward english - if you're lost or need help.

whatever you imagine behind you in the shower while you're washing your face, actually washing your back for you.

imagine your sleep paralysis demon getting along with your pets.

YES! THIS! In my experience my depression doesn't go away. I've got PDD. It just: sits there. Quietly. But it never leaves. But it *does* get quiet.

I don’t understand how people fail to see the beauty in therianthropy.

A human body whos soul is one of an animal. Or whos mind is one of an animal. (or both.) Intertwined with nature. Their spirit bonded to a creature who their body fails to be. Limited by the flesh and form of an animal that is not fully themself.

A being whos calling is away from modern society and belongs to the forest, the savanna, the prairie, the valley, the skies, the mountains.

Whos instincts are mixed with different creatures, giving them both advantage and disadvantages against the world around them.

And shifts, where they can feel where their lost body parts used to be. Where they can let their mind change into the full instincts of another.

“Oh but its cringe!” “Its weird!”

No, it’s beautiful. Its mystical. It’s something that feels straight out of fantasy books.

Its odd to not embrace it because its “different”.

#this is absolutely beautiful

nobody move i just had a revelation.

so, you know the Bailey School Kids books, right? the series about a bunch of children speculating on whether or not the seemingly innocuous grown-ups around them may actually be mythical creatures/wizards/undead/what have you.

i’ve seen that post joking about how the supposedly secret monster people in the books are just very obviously queer, but i just realized another interpretation: these books are just about nonhumans. i’m one of the weird grown-ups in this book series.

all this time, i was reading about werewolves and vampires and aliens living under the guise of humans, when i was the creature in human form all along!!

(ps: if you’re nonhuman, put what the title of your book in this series would be in the tags. mine would be ‘wasp-cats don’t write fanfiction’)

Hiya :) you're valid if you still partially identify as human. You can like drinking a perfect coffee while also like running free through an open field. Human things are enjoyable just as animal things are enjoyable! :)

Otherkin fam, we get a new movie for people like us 🙌🏼

I assume, it's a german produced movie and therefore there's only a german trailer atm, but I decided to write the translation of the trailer dialog here for you!

"Carag, you've lost the connection to your animal... It can happen, if you live too long in human-shape... Close your eyes... They're not really closed, they look into your inner self... You can see, how you're a Puma... Listen, they're calling you..."

Here the movie description:

"The story tells you about Carag, a boy with the ability to shapeshift: he can transform into a human or a mountain-lion. As a toddler, he traveled in the wilderness with his family, but after his pack got separated, he had to find a new home. On his search, Carag comes across the Clearwater high boarding school. Once there, he feels comfortable for the first time in his life. Red squirrel Holly and bison Brandon are at his side."

The movies are based on a book series and the first movie comes out Nov. 21st 2024. Second movie is in the works for 2026, but It's supposed to have 3 movies in total.
