๐ vulpeandric ๐
pt: vulpeandric. end pt. image id in alt.
a gender related to foxes and how they are perceived to have canine and feline traits, but are canids. examples of being vulpeandric include:
feeling attached to "feminine" qualities and being mostly a guy/masc
transmascs with attachment to girlhood
being in between masculinity and femininity but leaning towards masculinity
color meanings from top down: pink for a piece of femininity, white for separation, orange for foxes, blue for masculinity, brown for canines.
this is my first and maybe only time coining something soo.. idk let me know what ya think! i think i'm doing this right? shrug
@radiomogai @faunagender
the watchers/listeners (evo smp, life series) and their many incarnations have been added to the pile of what i think the 'type looks like, as well as a mental connection to my friend's concept of hunters.
overall, i believe i an a vessel of the many winged, many eyed beasts, moreso metaphorically and related to my alterhumanity than a spiritual thing, but it may prove to be spiritual for me.
this is weirdly deep for me but i do really love the evo gods. they are beautiful.

Happy wet beast wednesday to all who celebrate!
new 'type: found!
soo i've felt like i've had wings and talons for a while, but never felt like just a bird or one of my 'types with wings. but! i think i figured it out. idk exactly what to call it but think in the vein of falin dunmeshi, howl's bird form, or seraph from hell followed with us but with more feathers.
also plot twist i think it's a theriotype? actually idk. it's more of an underlying feeling that surges sometimes. i get species dysphoria for it and it affects my behavior.
lowkey i'm starting to not care about the labels and i just know i'm stuff besides a dude. shrug. but i'm happy i could figure out some sort of name for this bird guy i am
okay besides the deity part... i almost fully relate! I don't know if i truly know what love, like, or sexual desire really feels like. My caring and affection just have different levels. The whole world is like an intersectional identity, for me everything is totally separate but it all connects and i don't feel like i can fit into just one square of that grid but if i expand outside, others will move away.
uhmm maybe that doesn't make sense or maybe it does! either way i luv this post !
On Being "Socially Nonhuman"
One thing I've been mulling over lately...
I love how acceptance of physical nonhumanity is increasing now. I think it's very positive, and especially for those who experience clinical zoanthropy - so much support to you creatures!
Personally, I don't feel physically nonhuman at all. Not even in a figurative sense. My physical humanity has been a big part of my life's narrative, for better or worse - I've had plenty of trouble with species dysphoria in the past, but my path to healing has always been to recognise the joys in being human-bodied even if it doesn't reflect what I really am.
But the consideration - "oh, well, am I physically nonhuman?" - led me to a different idea that is just... sticking with me now, and I wanted to share it in case any other nonhuman folks relate. And also just for the sake of sharing, I need to do that more!
I'm physically human, but my nonhumanity feels... externally impactful on a level where I feel like referring to it as an "identity" alone is maybe a bit minimising.
This is because, far as I can tell, I just don't... act or feel in the way humans do?
The best examples of this are all absences.
I'm asexual, in the specific sense where I don't feel sexual attraction or desire at all, and never have. I genuinely cannot comprehend those experiences. This is pretty impactful and isolating all on its own.
But even more jarring is that I don't feel love in any conventional way. And I don't mean "just" romantic love - I mean any love at all. I don't love my friends, I don't love my family, I don't love my pets. This probably sounds horrible, but it's not! I can feel affection.
What separates my affection from "love" is that it's non-selective - I don't bond with specific individuals. A more palatable way to put this might be to say that I love my cat, but I love the neighbour's cat I see out the window just as much. But that feels reductive, because selectivity is a key part of what defines "love"! Can it be "love" if you feel it for everyone, whether you know them personally or not? Not really! It's a different thing.
And the other thing I'd say I'm distinctly lacking is, uh... survival instinct? Whatever drive pushes people (and animals) to keep going even when times are hard, even when things are desperate, on the hope that they'll make it to the other side. I don't experience that and I don't understand it (though, genuinely, I do wish I did).
Other ways I'm behaviourally inhuman are a bit subtler and harder to define. The way I think kinda throws people for a loop a lot - there are things that seem naturally intuitive to me, that other people genuinely struggle with. It's not a brag cause there's other things that are absolutely the reverse, ahah!
I guess, I thought it could be explained by neurodivergence for a while, but it all seems to run so much deeper than autism and ADHD could account for.
I have to mask myself to appear human. I have to mask any time I'm around other people, no matter how much I trust them, because I know trust only goes so far and there's some things I experience and feel that - to most people - are so "out there" that they'd just sound unhealthy.
There are things that are a normal part of my life that would be radically weird for most folks. This means I have to hide parts of my candid experience of life just to avoid uncomfortable attention or concern.
I don't like attention! I'm eccentric even when masking. The best I can do is "acceptably weird".
Fact of the matter is, you just can't live a safe, reasonable life while being open about the fact that your normal experience of the world is as a quasi-deity who became trapped in a human body by accident, who remembers the beginnings of life on Earth, who can sense the spirits of plants and animals, who peers through the layers of reality, and sometimes reacts to things before they happen. These things are all normal for me - there's no way I can be genuinely honest about myself while also "being human".
What it adds up to is that I feel viscerally nonhuman in a way that has a profound impact on my external life - yet still, I'm physically human. I am keenly aware of how my human brain impacts my way of thinking, how my human hormones affect how I feel.
So I'm not physically nonhuman, but I'm... socially nonhuman?
If you take "social" to encompass things like emotions and viewpoints and such, as well as how you talk and act?
My nonhumanity is socially impactful, and that impacts the physical (insofar as it impacts how I act, how I feel, and how I engage with the world).
It's an identity, yes, but it's not... self-contained. I can't really pass as "a normal person who happens to be nonhuman".
I doubt I'm the only one who experiences something like this! And that's part of why I'm even putting this out there. I don't exactly expect (or need) "socially nonhuman" to catch on as a term, but I wanted to say that this is how I feel, and that others who feel this way are not alone.
It can seem like a very lonely existence, I suppose. I don't know if I'll ever feel comfortable to express my genuine self around other people. Even online, I mask and hide. I would be seen differently if I didn't do that. Connection and belonging are fulfilling to me, and I value them too much to lose them just for the sake of being honest about stuff that most people wouldn't understand anyway!
Still, I don't really regret being nonhuman in this way. This is just who I am! I wouldn't be me if I were different.
yes! im happy with my human body but when im dog mind, my legs (as in back and front) should be skinnier and longer and my body should be smaller
Do any other nonhumans get size dysphoria?? I feel like I'm the wrong size I feel like I should be the size of my 'types
i need to stop trying to force myself to shift. im in the mindset that shifting = good, not faking. but it can be uncomfortable. it can just not happen. and thats okay.
i say this bcus i was trying to ear shift and ended up with paw pads that made my hands feel rlly weird.
in other news, the pnw is such a haven for me, creature and human. it is beautiful here.
