We Need This.

Found out I'm chaoskin a while ago, certain things make more sense to me now how i act, present myself, etc, its nice to have reasons for things :)

(Idk how to make this anonymous lol, if you aren't able to that's cool too :p)

I adjusted the settings, and now you can send questions anonymously. Chaoskin? That's quite unusual and it sounds really exciting! Feel free to share your experience if you'd like.

Bro, my unyielding loyalty towards you is totally normal and healthy, I swear. It's just that it's definitely my duty to rip out your enemies throats with my bare teeth. You are the love of my life and I am your most valuable tool. Each night, I fantasize about dying in your arms, covered in blood, and then I close my eyes one final time, satisfied because I can feel your fingers on my face as I take my last breath. Haha anyways

Greetings !

Would it be possible for you to create an angelkin moodboard ?

I have preferences for colours of gold and grey but I wish for you to take liberty where you so please .

💛🩶💛

maybe someone who remember their past lives, remembers the partners they had?? was thinking about that this night, very curious.

Upon viewing starfall, I was filled with feelings of homesickness. 🌌

hi! i have a question about the russian language that i've been trying unsuccessfully to get answered on quora and reddit, i've seen your blog and thought you might have an answer?

i'm part russian and am interested in exploring and honoring my heritage. i want to change my last name to a russian word that is meaningful to me. i'm not yet fluent in russian so i don't know what the proper spelling would be. i want to use the word "integrity", as a moral standard for myself and my future family. i understand it can be spelled целостность (directly meaning integrity) or целостный (translating more to holistic/complete) what would be the proper spelling for the word as a surname? thank you!

/genq

are you serious? why should i even know anything about russian lmao. i speak Ukrainian.

Heya! Not quite starkin, but I am technically dark starfolk (Worldless) kin. Specifically, I am Aven, and starfolks are somewhat like the personifications of stars, aren't they?

Hello.

Of course, it could be a personification of a star, although I've seen this phenomenon quite rarely because some stars find the humanoid form quite uncomfortable. Before appearing in a human body, I wandered the earth as a personification of my star. So this scenario is quite likely. I admit that I haven't had the chance to play the game, which means I don't have a full grasp of its background. I hope this answer doesn't disappoint anyone.

Thanks for question!

(Non)Humanity and Species Dysphoria: the Forced Transformation Trope

Written by Gavin on August 25, 2024.

As a nonhuman, do you ever think about why there's so many stories and myths and legends about humans being turned into animals? You ever wonder why it's usually a punishment or a curse, or why the characters try to do whatever it takes to become human again? You ever think, "I don't understand, I would love to be an animal and get rid of my human body, what's the problem?"

As a human myself, one whose system has been in the alterhuman community for years, I hope I can help bridge the gap of understanding here.

The way many humans see being turned into an animal as a curse, the way they'd be incredibly distressed about becoming nonhuman?

That is species dysphoria.

That is a human experiencing species dysphoria, because being perceived as nonhuman or other-than-human causes the exact same feelings of pain and wrongness and disconnection from their body that a nonhuman can experience when perceived as human.

(Particularly, this might be an orthohuman, someone who has a normative relationship with their human cultural and species identity, as opposed to an alterhuman, who experiences alternative/nonnormative humanity or a species identity separate from humanity. Human alterhumans can also experience this sort of species dysphoria - hi, I'm one of them.)

Imagine being your species your entire life, the way you know you're intended to be, living in a body you're comfortable in - and then having that body ripped away from you. Being forced to live in a form that doesn't match who you are, what you know you are, and desperately wanting to find a way to change back because you know you're not meant to be like this.

If this sounds familiar because it's what you experience as a nonhuman - that is how a lot of human beings feel about being transformed into something nonhuman. It's the feeling of being the wrong species! It's the desire to return to the form that you know as yourself!

The fact that orthohumans are born into the species they identify as does not mean that they could never comprehend your nonhuman experience. You can explain your nonhuman species dysphoria to an orthohuman. Given all the examples of unwanted transformation stories throughout human history, I think you're likely to find that they'll understand when you put it in that frame of reference.

"How would you feel about being turned into another species against your will, leaving behind everything that feels good and right and comfortable about your human body? That sounds horrible, right? That's how I feel, being nonhuman in a human body, and it's distressing in the same way you would hate being human and stuck in a nonhuman body."

I know that the gap between humanity and nonhumanity looks enormous. The horror of, say, werewolf mythology looks like a completely alien experience when you are a wolf, so you see being transformed into a wolf as nothing short of a wonderful experience, and you don't understand why anyone would see it as horrifying.

But if you understand that it's not about the species, but the experience of species dysphoria, of being trapped in a body that has never been yours and desperately trying to return to one that feels like you, well - that's a lot more understandable, isn't it?

Humanity and nonhumanity are not two opposite ends of a binary, destined to never understand each other. I know many alterhumans who are both human and nonhuman, and their humanity is an identity in much the same way as their nonhumanity. Humans are just another species on this planet, as bipedal tool-using social primates, and we have our species identities just like many nonhumans. You are not as alone in this world as you might think you are.

There is room for understanding and connection. Your experiences as nonhuman are not purely individual, not wholly unique, not utterly incomprehensible to human beings, and this is a good thing. The gap isn't actually as wide as it seems. You can reach out and cross it if you just remember - you have far more in common than you might think.

do you have memories/noemata? if so, whats your favorite one?

Hello! Thank you for your question. A significant part of my life has been spent in the vastness of space, but I was also sent to Earth for educational purposes. While on Earth, I took on a humanoid form and created many memories. Here are two that stand out to me:

One memory is the joyful occasion when I was named the heir to the ruler of my realm in space. It was an exciting moment, with the stars pulsating and sparkling in celebration—I became a "prince" in my community!

The second memory is tied to my time on Earth, before the rise of ancient civilizations. It’s when I met my soul mate and love, a cherished moment that holds a special place in my heart.

May the stars guide you.
