Me when I fucking GET you

Hellour

1. I mainly identify as alterhuman, otherspin (so I'm my special interest, basically) and voidpunk

2. I am a cat and an extraterrestrial (maybe even extradimensional?) being of light. Fun fact: I also used to be a reptile cladotherian

3. I experience plenty of phantom limb shifts, mostly of having a tail, pointed cat ears or ethereal tentacles. Lately I've been having a lot of paw shifts, too. Due to my amorphous nature, I experience a lot of cameo shifts: I've already been a snake, a river otter, a gryphon, etc.

4. Oooh this is such a huge giant question... Well, to sum things up, it is an experience that is melancholy yet very refreshing and exciting... It means having to sit for hours at school when I really want to be pouncing and playing and zooming about, but it also means that when I do something as mundane as, say, eating chocolate, I am experiencing it as a human who likes chocolate, as a cat who usually wouldn't be able to eat candy, and as an energy being who wouldn't be able to eat material food simultaneously. If I wrote any more, this would quickly venture into essay territory

5. The otherkin community (I'm using "otherkin" as an umbrella term to make the text less cluttered and because I've seen it used that way before) has a lot of similar dynamics and issues to the furry fandom and the wider LGBT+ community (gee I wonder why). On the one hand, it is very accepting and welcoming and holds space for beings from all walks of life, on the other hand it has a lot of petty high-school-esque drama, which isn't surprising for a community consisting largely of high schoolers. Guess the elder otherkind are out there doing their own thing *shrug*

6. Being a cat and an energy being means I'm very... Well... Energetic. That means a lot of delightful zoomies. My parents even bought me an indoor trampoline so I'll stop bouncing on furniture and breaking it :3 I'm also an infovore, so learning is yummy. That's why I actually don't hate going to school. I still have a lazy side that likes napping and sunning, though. Additionally I like hiking and exploring this beautiful planet, taking in all its sights and sounds and smells...

7. As a shapeshifter, I usually don't experience species dysphoria, this is just another form that I have to adapt to. And since cats can be found almost anywhere in the world and my alien species is nomadic, everywhere is my hearthome! Still, I occasionally experience episodes of dysphoria. One time, for instance, I didn't wear my cat ear headband to a youth club I go to and I had a mini-panic attack because my friends wouldn't perceive me as a cat

8. Don't feel pressured to put on a show in order to prove your alterhumanity (unless you want to, putting on a show is fun!). You are not the ambassador of your kintype. And like a snake sheds its skin, don't be afraid to shed parts of your identity that no longer serve you

9. I have the aforementioned black cat ear headband and a small collection of collars. I guess you can can count my fur coats and my obnoxiously brightly-colored clothing, too

10. Maybe I am in my larval stage and will hatch into my proper form after I die, maybe I'm here to collect information for my hive, maybe I had past lives, maybe I'm just an autistic girl who was ostracized in the past and deeply identifies with cats and incorporeal aliens. In this crazy universe, who knows what may be possible?

11. @kitsuneechoes @pocketsizedking @cosmicwolfdog @fr0g-0bzz3z3d tell me your SEEEECRETS (or don't, it's up to you)

does anybody have that cat poem, you know the one. not mary oliver's poem. the one about a cat growing up with you like brothers but him still being small whereas you've grown tall. i need a good cry

I just want a mysterious shiny powerful being of light to reach out to me in this life and telling me about what I forgot about my soul and hugging me tight with their warm light and explaining my angelic heritage to me and how I still belong to them and making me braver for life and omg is this to much to ask for

Some creatures might bite me for saying this, but I think that us having human bodies is cool, actually, because it allows a lot of different species to have common ground and interact peacefully when they would otherwise have to fight for survival, eat each other, drive each other to madness, etc.

So the "every species is sentient" dilemma isn't as bad in this case as it would be if, say, humans existed along with sentient bio-tapeworms or sentient bio-wolves existed along with sentient bio-deer. And by this I mean human-like sentience, since I believe that most species are already sentient to some degree

Otherkinity and therianthropy make a lot of otherwise hypothetical moral dilemmas a lot more real, such as "what if every single species on earth was sentient and sapient" and "what if fictional characters could see what kind of art people share of them on the internet"

Can I please have an cottagecore alienkin moodboard

alienkin alterhuman moodboard with themes of cottagecore!

Kind of related to my last reblog: Awakening as an alterhuman has made me a lot less insecure about being more dependent on others than most humans my age are.

Now I feel less like a broken human and more like an average domesticated animal and (former?) hivemind member

I’m not really a fan (at all) of this persistence within the therian community that, if you are domesticated, this means you’re just a “cutesified” version of your wild (or wild-er) counterparts.

Being a dog was never a “stepdown” from being a wolf or a fully-wild canid for me. In-fact, it was always the opposite. Being a wolf would ignore the characteristics I’ve been bred to have and therefore indulge in; instinctually or not, which would diminish the entirety of me.

-Sure, a wolf spends a good portion of its life chasing cervids down. Sure, a wolf spends its life trying to survive. But why are these acts suddenly synonymous with “far stronger” and “far cooler”? -And who said domesticity was simple? It seems inherently disrespectful to prod that “wild is better”, implying that the usage of domesticating a specimen..helping eachother in the act of work, through blood and sweat, is just some “foolish game of domination.”

I like being domestic, I love it. I prefer it over being “wholly wild” - Because being domestic is strength, it’s the hunger of needing something so bad that you find eachother time and time again. Human and dog. Domestication was never “the easy way out”, it’s just another form of life - another life being born. I just.. have never been a fan of this assumption that domestication is a loss of harsh wilderness, when domesticity has never been inherently easier.

Maybe it's more of a philosophical belief than a spiritual belief, but I've been a mind-body-nondualist for a long time. However since I've awakened as an energy being (and as an alterhuman in general), I've frequently felt like I'm wearing or puppeting my body, which creates a lot of cognitive dissonance. I still believe that I am my body or at least have some sort of intrinsic connection to it, though

I have a question that I'd absolutely love to hear others opinions on. As far as I've seen, "spiritual nonhuman/otherkin/etc" generally means someone who's identity is tied to their spirituality (the only example of this I know of is things like past lives or alternate lives, forgive my ignorance here) but are there many others out there who feel like their spiritual/religious beliefs and nonhuman identity are completely disconnected or even a little contradictory?

When I first introjected I was still disconnecting from beliefs I followed in source (if you know... yeah... wasn't very good for me) and currently I am religious and finding myself feeling such a connection to a human/earth religion was a little bit of a strange experience.

Obviously I'd love to hear specifically other aliens that have found themselves in a similar position, but any response is welcomed and appreciated. I suppose the two aren't entirely separate, my memories specifically tied to the fact I am a Vorta could influence the fact I feel a connection to the idea of keeping religious beliefs, but I hope I've explained my point regarding disconnect/contradiction well

I'm a cat because I have a great day of school

I'm a being of pure energy because I was so good👍👍👍

The educational system is turning people into cats!! I also like the implication that I became a light entity because I'm just so awesome

new tag game: use predictive text to see why you are your theriotype/kintype. start with "i'm [x] because"

i'll go first

i'm a dog because i have to fight

Fuck being in a pack, I wanna be part of a hivemind!! Let us wordlessly share thoughts and concepts and be as one!!!

To all the incorporeals who hate eating: don't worry, I'll help you (by eating all of your food)
