Alterhuman - Blog Posts

Had a bit of kin euphoria yesterday, and it was about something that I don't think most people would think is related to otherkin stuff.

Context— for the past few months, I've been running. One mile a day, four days per week. It started off being fucking painful and draining and awful. Took around 17 minutes to run a mile at first. I have since shaved that time down to running the mile in 11 minutes, 32 seconds. I'm proud of that.

The reason I'm working out at all is because I'm a dragon. I have always believed that the body I'm in is weak and frail, especially compared to the strength I could have as a full dragon. So in order to reclaim some of that Draconic strength... I'm going to train my body and get it to some level of actual fitness. Not feeling frail would do more to ease my species dysphoria than anything else.

And that's what happened yesterday. All of my training has been done on a treadmill, indoors (I don't get out much. I'm one of those dragons that stays in her cave every day). Yesterday was one of the first times I ran outside WITHOUT a treadmill... So I actually had a frame of reference for how fast I was running and how my body felt doing it.

It felt like I was stepping on clouds. My body felt so LIGHT. It felt easy to move. After so many years of having weak legs, and growing up being unable to run at any speed faster than a jog, I finally felt like that issue was behind me. I've gained strength. My claws aren't digging into the earth beneath my feet as I run, and I'm not feeling the wind beneath my wings. But I feel more like a dragon now than I ever have.

SO MAD RIGHT NOW.

Lately I've been trying to sleep on my stomach, like how a dragon would. I do this by putting a pillow down beneath my hips when laying down, to simulate the feeling of laying on top of a treasure hoard. This is also more healthy for someone with a human-shaped spine. Sleeping on your stomach can mess up a human's back without that.

A few nights ago, I slept like that and woke up with no back pain AT ALL. Like .. LESS than the usual amount of back pain. Which gave me a ton of kin euphoria. Sleeping like a dragon actually helped me feel better. I could hold my head high, and I felt stronger. One of the most powerful feelings on the god damned planet.

So I tried again last night. Got comfy.

And then FOR SOME REASON, I SHIFTED THE PILLOW IN MY SLEEP SO IT WAS BENEATH MY HEAD AGAIN.

IT WASN'T EVEN COMFORTABLE!!!

So now I've just got back pain again and my neck is so sore that I'm positive it'll give me a headache later. So mad. Why did I do that in my sleep. Sleep-Ninian is an idiot.

Unhinged 30 Days of Otherkin Challenge: DAYS 1-3

Challenge Rules

I messed up with the first 2 days cuz I'm new to tumblr and brain no worky. So I'm just making my own post for my first few responses now! Also yeah I did days 1 and 2 together cuz I just got excited.

DAY 1: what type of dirt would your kintype eat?

As an ice dragon.... Probably permafrost?? But I would never actually seek it out as a meal or anything obviously

Alternatively, glacial sediment. Or sand/mud from lakebeds/riverbeds/seafloors. I could see those getting in my mouth when I eat, as I'm partially aquatic and most of my hunting takes place underwater.

I would prefer not to eat dirt tho thankyou

DAY 2: warm or cold ocean water?

Cold! As an aquatic ice dragon, that's literally my habitat! Either oceans or lakes.

DAY 3: describe a pie made from three ingredients your kintype would eat, crust included, go

Some kinda fish pie!!! My diet would consist of mainly fish or other aquatic life. Raw and cold, too. So! The 3 ingredients:

- Seaweed Pie Crust

- Any kind of raw fish as filling

- Caviar topping

------ Served Cold like a cheesecake, perhaps even frozen

Hungry just thinking about it... But it's definitely the kind of thing I will never eat IRL. This body's human instincts are saying "that's disgusting!" but my dragon instincts are saying this sounds fucking DELICIOUS.

Kintypes? Silver Ice Dragon

What do you prefer to call yourself (therian, otherkin, nonhuman, etc) A dragon. I call myself otherkin simply because it describes my experience, but I don't really like labels. Nonhuman works to describe me as well.

How did you find out you were alterhuman? I've always felt different. It just took a bit of soul searching. That and I made a dragon OC and realized I was getting a little too hyped at the idea of being that character instead.

Favorite kintype? Dragon is my only Kintype.

Most recent kintype? Dragon. For a bit over a year now.

Least favorite kintype? None. :)

What are your reasonings for being alterhuman? When I was pretending to just be human, it always felt like something was missing. This is that missing piece that makes my life make sense.

Do you wear gear? If so, what kind? Nope. Would love to get some gloves with a scale pattern on them, though.

Any advice to new alterhumans? Controversial, but… Don't come out? Unless it's someone you know for SURE you can trust. Your parents don't really need to know, nor do your classmates or teachers. The world isn't ready for us just yet. You'll find out more about yourself if you keep this as a personal journey of self discovery anyways.

What're some things you do to affirm your kintypes? I don't really do specific things... Does drawing art of my dragon form count? TBH I'd be down for more suggestions on dragon things to do but I don't always feel the need to "affirm" my kintype. I know it's me.

Strangest thing you do to affirm your kintypes? I write my diary in draconic letters instead of English.

What are your goals to affirm your kintypes? Get strong! I won't ever have the strength of a dragon, but getting into better shape as a human would help a LOT. I've already started by running a mile almost every day... I need to start training my core strength next. Also, a dragon scale tattoo would be awesome.

Do you do quads? Nope.

Funniest way you found out a kintype? Cries in only one kintype

How does being alterhuman affect your day to day life? I can ALWAYS feel my phantom wings... So sitting in chairs is hard.

Does being alterhuman affect your religious beliefs? Not really. I already believed in souls and astral projection. Knowing I have the soul of a dragon just fits my beliefs.

Do your mental illnesses affect your view of your alterhumanness? Yeah, I mean. Autism is a huge part of all this, obvs. I have social issues that contributed to me feeling different in the first place. It works though, whenever something happens where I have trouble speaking, it just feels like a cultural/language barrier between dragons and humans, instead of just regular old social anxiety. Kind of took away a bit of the shame I had for being socially awkward.

Does being alterhuman affect your gender? I care a bit less about gender when I imagine myself as a full dragon. But I still care about being a pretty lady in human form.

What is your favorite thing about being alterhuman There's magic in the world. We live in a world with dragons and fairies and werewolves. That fact alone is awesome. But it's also really fun just going about life knowing "hehe nobody knows I'm actually a dragon 😈"

What is your least favorite thing about being alterhuman I feel like "species dysphoria" is a bit of a dramatic term for it, but god DAMN I really hate that I can't just be a real dragon. I wanna fly!!!!

There we go :) Also yea I'm cool with asks I guess EDIT: Formatting

PS. I know not everyone resonates with the word kintype and I'm sorry for using it I just didn't know what other word to use

Reblogging this means that you want people to send you asks!

This is the most relatable image ever. I've been blessed with the ability to feel my wings at all times but oh my GOD they make it hard to sleep. After sleeping on my back for my whole life it is bizarre to adjust to the feeling of crushing your wings when you lay down

Phantom limbs.

Tbh lugia is goals as a fellow trans silver sea dragon

apparently lugia was created specifically for the second pokemon movie?? like the creator was surprised to see it in the games??

Well shit I guess I'm transpecies, by this definition. Like, the whole idea of pursuing different life paths that line up with your species. I'd like to actually get in shape so I can at least have some semblance of the strength I'd have as a dragon. Can't exactly teach yourself to blast gigantic beams of ice from your throat but. You can learn to build muscle.

I dunno if id do bio-hacking but some scale tattoos would be nice

Also I'm letting my nails grow out so I have dragon claws muahaha I am a danger to society >:D

Re- your question about trans-species.

I obviously can't make a lot of physical changes as I would like to, and I think people get hung up on "surgery" when there isn't much that can currently be done. for me, being trans-species is more about making paradigm changes and pursuing certain life paths/not hiding aspects of non humanity. I'm an alien and basically I'd say my "transition" was about recognizing that aspects of my life are so terribly distressing to me because I'm just not human and then making a choice to change those things to suit being an alien. It felt like getting more serious about actually accommodating being non human.

An example- I don't have a normal circadian rhythm anymore, I hacked it over time by not forcing myself to stay in bed when I inevitably wake at 3 am. I support this with naps when I need them but my kin dysphoria lessened when I saw aspects of human living as societally constructed. It's controversial, which is why I'm on anon, but trans-species can mean a lot of things, but it for me is about making the choice to allow aspects of your kin self to be more physical or be more visible. be that body mods or some other kind of bio hacking.

Some of this, yes, is not good for the body. Like toe-walking for the feeling of digi legs for example. I make sure to stretch after spending time doing something like that. It's all a risk assessment kind of thing.

It's just people think it's about physical ears and tails but it can be about lots of aspects of one's lifestyle.

this answer was actually so fucking perfect, thank you so much, im so sorry it took me so long to respond, i had no idea what to say

i had been ever so slightly questioning if i was perhaps trans-species when id posted my question, thanks to all the answers i got ive come to the conclusion that im not as i dont have the desire to transition into my species. i already am my species :)

thank you, my fantastic alien anon, and thank you to everyone else who responded to my post for all your great answers, and please, by all means, keep sending me stuff!! i wanna learn about yall, ur so cool :)))

Welcome to fiction venting!

We're a safe place for fictionkin and fictives to vent about their source, their mems, sourcemates, or really anything related to their fictional identity.

We are a SAFE PLACE. We won't judge you for what you need to vent about. You are welcome here.

We currently have one mod, Mod V. I use she/her and he/him pronouns. I am not personally a system, and would like to stay out of syscourse. I am, however, fictionkin.

It's very difficult to get me to cry. Like. I don't cry, ever. My own parents would say the same. But today? Tonight? Sobbing. Not for a bad reason- the joy in my heart is overflowing and falling from my eyes. I've found my family again, and I can once more rest in peace.

I was sitting next to someone today, talking about how i bite my mom sometimes (In a way to show i love her) and then the teacher heard it.

''Hm, maybe we should have a talk about this. Why do you bite your mom, you are not a dog right?''

YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BELIEVE THIS, BUT...

This is me if you even care :3

(I am having way to much fun with emoji kitchen)

a plushie is a little guy who is your friend

''Be the cryptid you wish to see in the woods.''

Just told one of my friends about my identity,

''I'm not trying to be cringe, i'm trying to express myself.''

I said that at the end of the message. Fuck cringe culture. If you call people/things/creatures in the alterhuman community, or just someone in general doing unproblematic things they enjoy ''cringe'' i want you to get of my blog.

SILLY NONHUMAN CHAIN TIME!

REBLOG WITH THE SILLIEST PICTURE(S) YOU HAVE OF YOUR KINTYPE(S)

I'll go first

MORE MASKS/IRL ART >:DD

i found that when i make random things while yapping/ranting to myself at like 3am it brings me a sense of peace, in a way.. sooo ive been doing more that lately! makin a new oc mask + a few wips (if only i was talented enough to do major modifications lolol)

The guardian!!

they don't really go by a name or a gender (or anything really lolol, not even a species), but i feel like they represent the weird duality of freedom when it comes to deciding your identity and the pure pressure that invades your mind whenever you try to think about it (SORRY RAHGGGH DEEP THOUGHTS)

a few wips!! i might give em off to friends as an art form tho cuz i have no idea what else to do but to restart em as they arent really fitting my original image in my mind T_T

ALSO YEE HERONSPROUT IS DOIN GOOD!! DWDW I DIDNT GIVE HER AWAY OR SELL HER!! shes just hangin on my wall being gay lolol

How the FUCK do people NOT wanna frolic away in the wilderness-?! like theyre literally inviting you?? come join and have snacks on a stump with me at dusk please?? pleaaseee???? /nm lolol!-sorry if it sounded rude!

it honestly feels like people who hate furries and therians

1- dont do their research and just go from word of mouth to word of mouth (god i hate mob mentality)

2- dont accept difference or being unique and want to stick to the 'normal' steryotype that everyone is forced apon

3- think people need consent for looking at you apparently..?

4- think everyone in the community obsessed with sex/sexual things/kinks and never a minor (the person in the video looked about teenage age, just a bit lanky and most likley a minor themselves.)

5- goes all 'k.'/one word mode when theyve been corrected for some reason instead of accepting theyre wrong (though most people do that- i know i have a few times, and its a pretty bad habit people should correct as it leads to a more toxic environment and ruining relationships)

6- cyberbullying reminder time!! :3 -All states have criminal laws that might apply to bullying behaviors, including cyberbullying. -Most states expressly include electronic forms of harassment in their statutes. -Cyberbullying can lead to criminal charges, jail time, device confiscation, and restitution to victims (CA) -Some states allow schools to discipline students for off-campus behavior that disrupts the learning environment

7- think people arent allowed to have fun and run around when theyre over the age of 5, and think babies come out of the womb walking on 2 legs apparently

8- think that having some sort of animal as apart of your identity automatically makes you go feral and run off into the woods to never act like a human again (though i would absolutely love that, it just isnt true lolol)

9- think humans are aliens from a different planet/universe entirely and arent all related mammals that just happen to evolve sentience over millions of years

10- think its a active ravanging criminal gang of zoophiles, rapists, pedophiles, and more for some reason?? like- wouldnt furries and therians not exist if that really was the case? (plus, only the bad eggs get popular due to drama so people see the community in another light then at other times, other then that the communities are pretty quiet if you arent in them yourself.)

atleast i got a laugh outta this one lolol

this isnt 'hate response' as it wasnt my video/post or intention anyways- i just wanted to get this out there that: reddit bad!11!!!! >:((( (even though its filled with even more creeps then the whole entire therian community itself)

ALL CANINE THERIANS- i have a lil question :3

HELP I WAS TRYNA MAKE THESE SOUNDS WHILE TYPING SO IT WOULD BE MORE ACCURATE LOLOL

FREE ART FOR MY FELLOW NONHUMAN HOMIE WOOO!! :DDD
