My Wings Are Kind Of Strange Actually, Not In Appearance, But Rather In Origin. They Don't Rly Go With

When it is all too easy to fall to defeatism:

See not the holy pursuit of knowledge as intimidating. Rather, it is an invitation. Clear your mind of perceived expectations. You are far more capable than you give yourself credit for.

does anyone wanna hold hands until we feel a little braver

yearning to devote myself fully to a deity.

mold me, hold all that i am and all that i will be in your palms.

let me rest between your ribs, making a home amongst your lungs and beating heart. hold me ever closer, until our souls are indistinguishable and our divinity becomes one.

“One day I’m gonna grow wings…" 🪽

Why did this make me feel so much?

Wanna hear a secret? :3

~I love you very much, and you make my life happier~

I can and will stretch this whole "duality of divinity" metaphor as far as I possibly can

jumping around follower lists, the wikipedia game, the reblog map...

It's all so beautiful, this web of connections we build...

I remember when I used to think p-shifters were all dangerous;

that the experience of delusional alterhumans should always be shunned away;

that transspecies individuals were "taking it too far";

and that none of those identities were valid or welcomed in alterhuman spaces

they can seem scary

other alterhumans can make it feel that way

I totally get it

I used to think they were scary too

I'm guilty of reproducing that same speech, and I admit that

but the more I've actually listened to them? they quickly became my favorite part of the community

getting to listen firsthand experiences from things that people claim are "unreal" or "shouldn't happen" can be so incredibly interesting

reading on transspecies' transition goals and their personal relationships with the concept of species itself is simply amazing

and hearing about physical nonhumans' relationship with how they view their body and their identity is so enlightening as well

it's a real shame so many of them are discouraged from sharing what they go through because of stigma, and it's a shame so many don't want to listen to them because they have been taught to fear and to judge

we all started somewhere, and I fell victim to that way of thinking as well, until I stopped to learn about and from them

consider this an invite to be more open about the experiences of physical nonhumans, CL/CZs, holotheres, endels, transspecies, and many more

shout out to all alterhumans with "odd" or otherwise stigmatized identities

please do know that I love and appreciate you, and every word you have to say about your experience

every single one of you is amazing and unique;

don't allow yourselves to be silenced;

you belong
