Nonhuman Community - Blog Posts

A list of my nonhuman/regression gear but it slowly turns less and less stereotypical:

1. My masks and tails. I love making masks and currently have 2 that I kept for myself. I also have a crow one I bought. I have 3 tails; wolf, coyote, and raccoon. Most I got from a renfaire I work at sometimes but I got the raccoon one from my partner because she's the best :3

2. Collars. Nuff said. Very dog. Very good.

3. Paw gloves and fingerless gloves :p

4. Chewtoys. I like biting stuff.

5. Stuffies. Specifically my raccoon and frog ones. All my stingray ones, too.

6. Small paw print blanket. Very soft. Good thing to just hold. Also my big knitted blanket. Good texture

7. My journal. Nice leather journal, my brother got me that I just fill with random thoughts and recipes. Helps me feel more creaturey.

8. Trinket shelf. I love trinkets and cool rocks. I also got a lot of bones.

9. Sticks. I have sticks everywhere from walks.

10. Paper crown and flower crown. Feels creaturey.

11. Compass necklace. There's a lot of misc. jewelry I consider gear but this one stands out.

12. My converse. All my converse. They feel like paws. I will only ever wear converse or my docs. My main 3 shoes are my glow in the dark bug converse, black converse with doodles all on em, and my brown converse specifically decorated with therian stuff.

13. My jacket and shirts. My green jacket is hgh. Me. It's me. I love that jacket. My color is green and it makes me feel like I'm me again. Its very soft too. Also, a shirt my girlfriend made me that has cut off sleeves and a bleached ribcage design that's really cool. Also have two sweaters that are very crittery and my Gorillaz shirt with their first album cover on it.

14. Anything minecraft related. I have a lot of minecraft stuff. One because I really like to play the game but also cuz it's home and I miss it.

Anyways, gear can be whatever. Have fun. (Also please talk to me about your gear that other people wouldn't really consider gear I love hearing about it.)

Throwback to this poem I wrote a while back

Plain text:

There was at one time,

A man I knew who spoke

With the crackle of a fire

Who had a cough

Like the devil himself had curled up in his lungs.

Who took me places

No wicked thing ever dared to trot.

He who stood so mighty,

The king of a southern summer,

And composed of the cicadas sympathy.

It is from him

I acquired my dirty paws,

These blood fangs.

From him came this wagging tail,

And hanging tongue.

Where my king of summer lies,

With the worms in his oldest home,

I stay his heir.

I haunt this town like an unmuttered curse.

And when they dare speak my name,

As if some insulting thing,

I think fondly of the man who gave me claws and teeth.

So that their insolence is not so easily forgiven,

And just as he,

Never forgotten.

Happy new year everyone! I hope everyone here has a wonderful 2025.

Even though I have not been very active this year, I would still like to thank you all for the nice interactions and new lessons from this community and my mooties. Thank you!

Hi we need to bring this back immediately thanks

Hi! friendly alterhuman reminder

your identity isn't static.

no one's is, neither our nor our human friends, we are forever changing, and this includes your kins. It is okay to gain an identity later in life, it is okay to lose one, this isn't static, this isn't forever. Ans that's okay. That's normal. Thats a part of life, your life.

do not feel guilty for losing connection with your older kins, maybe they were spiritual and you outgrew the age they died and there's no one to follow you anymore?

do not feel like you're faking for gaining connection to a kin later in life, maybe they were psychological and formed due to a recent experience?

do not feel guilty for experiencing any fluidity, not only your kins are fluid, your favorite color, your favorite band or animal, it all forms your identity, and that is forever changing, any and all experiences form you and your kins are not exempt from that! let them shape themselves, let them grow with you, theyre a part of you after all.

Let yourself grow.

ALTERHUMANS! preferably those who know a lot about labels and microlabels!! i neer ur help!

is there a name for when you want to be something REALLY BAD but you dont feel like you Are? like, you dont identify as that thing, but you really really wanna be it. is that a thing??

thanks!

had to reblog this comment in hopes more folks see this. i couldnt have said it better thank you @birdgirl22

Alterhumans! is there anyone else whose kintype is a carnivore, but you yourself are a vegan??? I'm a dog that never liked the taste of meat and went vegan for environmental reasons! lol

(that doesn't make me any less valid of a dog btw! >:3 my feeding preferences don't alter my identity!)

anybody just hates the usual human body care needs? hell, even animal ones, like no i dont wanna eat, sleep 8 hours a day, exercise, go on walks, and then also work for minimum of 8 hours and have to find 3 hours for relaxation and also shower and brush my teeth and

i wish i could just. sprout. photosynthesize. and just grow there, chilling, no nervous system, no brain, just grow and reproduce. and die in like a year, then get composted, god I'd love to get composted...

hey is anyone else just a furry alterhuman?? and i don't mean it like you're a furry (hobby) AND alterhuman (identity) i mean it as a furry alterhuman (identity). like my fursona IS ME. thats how i look like. thats ME. i AM an anthropomorphic dog and there's NOTHING you can do about it

This is your friendly otherkin reminder!:

You do NOT have to behave like your kintype to be it. As long as you look in the mirror and think to yourself "yeah thats a ___" or "this should be a ___" and feel good with it, you ARE that kintype!

hey uh is the strong desire to become moss normal or is that another one of my alterhuman identities i need to become aware of /genq

I'm having another day where I'm just like "I wish I had some nonhuman friends to talk to 😭" cuz like, I've only known two others irl around where I live. One of them I haven't heard from in ages, and the other one isn't someone I'm talking about today

Do I want nonhuman friends? Absolutely! It'd be nice knowing people who understand this one part of me. But I am way too anxious to reach out to anyone my brain might wanna befriend! I'm absolutely inclined to say "anyone can say I if they'd like to!" but I worry I will absolutely fumble any first conversation

One day, one day T-T

Hey everyone, happy new year!!

I'm hoping everyone on here is enjoying themselves and spending the first day of 2025 in whatever ways feel most comfortable to you! No matter who you are or how you identify I hope there's something you can look forward to this coming year, even with everything we hear in the news :)

Nothing else I really wanted to say beyond that other than my contributions to Wet Beast Wednesday! Not my own photos but I figured as a local shiba inu, showing everyone little shibes doing a swim is pretty cute :3

I am kin because it's who I am.

I am kin because I'm traumatized.

I am kin because I have emotions.

I am kin because I cope.

I am kin because I love.

I am kin because I am afraid.

I am kin because I seek a link.

I am kin because I have found a connection.

I am kin for myself. I am kin for others.

I am kin.

Fellow creatures—I feel some of you will appreciate this.

My uncle and aunt took me to a nearby forest for a hike. It was very very nice, and I had a great time. I saw a lot of fun things along the way. Also they told me about how I have a great uncle who was like a gay stoner pastor when he was alive and I think that’s wicked.

Life is good. Life is really, really good. I love my boyfriend, I love my friends, I love my family. Just been feeling good about the ppl around me lately.

And ummmm I realized it's past midnight here so fibromyalgia awareness month starts today👀 kinda cool ngl

a fellow chronically ill angel… i hope you have had a lovely day

Okay I'm definitely saddened by the fact that my soul is in a human body, that I can't be with my people, yadda yadda.

but if I hadn't ended up in here, I wouldn't have found out about my favorite songs and cartoons and Disney movies and videogames..

"Odd" things I get species dysphoria from (that you truly could never judge unless you're experiencing them) as an angelkin

- Hunger. It's one of those feelings that simply aren't supposed to belong to me, because I know for sure that back home, we just... didn't eat, you know?? I do not try to suppress it, & it doesn't give me a bad relationship with food; I love food, actually. But sometimes it feels a bit demoralizing.

- Sunburns - even the slightest, least noticeable ones. I'm a radiant being who embodies light.. yet the sunlight is burning me? Hello??

- Having to Google things or learn about them at school. It's not about learning how to cook, how to bake or tie my shoes, because those are human things; but not knowing everything about the stars, the universe and its past and future? It feels so wrong, because my gods have worked really hard to create me and teach me things. I like to imagine that all I learn about science or history or philosophy is just a memory being "brought back" to me.

- Tight clothing. I don't wear most tight things because of their textures which give me BAD sensory issues (I'm autistic), but I also avoid them because they take away the sense of freedom which was already taken away from me.

- Not being able to soothe people when they're upset when I'm the definition of love and harmony. It's technically the reason why I was sent to earth; so that makes me feel useless, like I'm betraying myself.

- The sound of my voice. It used to be much more beautiful, and the fact that I'm bad at singing doesn't help. It's only a reminder of the fact that this body simply isn't mine.

𖦹ׂ ₊ 🪽 and that's all! I just wanted to share these to show that species dyslhoria isn't always dramatically tragic - sometimes it's a bunch of mundane, unexpected, subtle things that add up to the feeling of discomfort and sadness. What can feel irrational and "exaggerated" is actually very valid and deserves to be taken seriously when it's really upsetting you.

how do you know you’re angelkin, i mean before I didn’t acknowledge kin but I definitely saw myself as something more divine but I didn’t acknowledged because I was scared to be wrong, too cocky or just plain disrespectful then one day I saw someone talking about being a demonkin and looked up realizing angelkin existed too!

Do I just label myself as one now? Could I be your 🐏🕊️anon? Too (*´v｀)

I hope this wasnt sent too long ago, i dunno if my asks are working properly but YES YOU CAN BE MY ANON 🫶🏻 you can skip the parts of this that you think aren't useful to you, I just tend to use too many words when explaining myself 😭 and this is a topic that's very dear to me, especially the part about feeling like your identity's disrespectful.

Anyways - I think I found out in the cliché way, if you can call it that. Feeling like I wasn't human (ever since I was a kid), feeling like I was supposed to fly and getting frustrated that I couldn't. Also getting very mad at myself for being scared of heights, because it simply felt wrong.

How I found out:

I used to identify as a winged therian (i went from a butterfly to a dove and more), because my first shifts mainly consisted of vague phantom wings and a weird feeling that my body was lighter and floating. The thing is, I became aware of my divinity when I almost vividly remembered the gods I served. It felt like they were calling out to me because I was ready to awaken, and I did not reject their signs, because I always knew deep down that I was protected by higher beings - and that, even when I thought I was an animal, it always felt mystical and holy. An immortal owl, a butterfly who could fly a little too high for it to be realistic, a dove meant to spread peace and protect creatures. Do you see what I mean?

-> This is definitely very personal. I also understand that it can be of little help to questioning angels who don't worship any gods; however, as some in the community have said, you ARE a certain creature as long as you can say, for sure, that you identify as it. If you can look at yourself in the mirror and say you're an angel, that's enough. You dont have to rush to discover all the details about your memories, your past or your home.

About not acknowledging a kintype because it feels morally wrong:

Yeah, it took me a while to get rid of that mindset. But personally, for me, the problem was the religious settings in which I grew up in; they weren't strict, but even so, the way I had to approach Christianity wasn't healthy. So even if I strayed from it with little guilt, it made me feel like I wasn't allowed to have beliefs of my own. I felt a connection with gods that nobody around me worshipped, gods that had their own rules, their own followers and servants; I realized no one could tell me that my beliefs were wrong. They were not, because only I knew how they worked, and I wasn't going to give them up. You, too, are allowed to label yourself as an angel according to your beliefs and definitions of an angel. Things have changed; some modern sources view angels as spiritual guides and beings of all kind, not just servants of a god.

And if you're worried about being "cocky"... well. That basically implies that you're worried about how others might perceive you, but you know that your identity isn't about claiming superiority, right? If you know you don't want to appear cocky, it's clear that you don't mean to be. You can't control how people interpret your intentions, but you shouldn't let that keep you from accepting yourself as you are.

Being angelkin can be controversial. But that's because some people are close-minded, and that's not our fault.

I could try to stop my species dysphoria by just pretending that everybody around me is a creature pretending to be human.

And

Maybe if I win I'll get my wings back as a reward

to me an angel is like. a servant of (a) god. but not just that. something crafted from the god’s very flesh, something ripped out and formed into a live creature. like gods tend to create living things, sure, but an angel is. closer to the god, I think. something divine but not on the same level as one. I’d almost call them demigods, but that has the wrong implications - part god part something else, or that it’s a god at all. angels to me are something unique and divine, not as powerful as a god, and usually chained to one.

My mom raised me as a Christian because my grandma is very religious and she didn't want to disappoint her. But I can't even begin to explain how i felt, as a literal angel who hadn't even awakened properly at the time, adoring a god that I simply knew I wasn't meant to worship. Feeling guilty and not even knowing why.

Asks and reblogs help a lot, imo. We share questions, information and experiences in a very different way since tiktok is a video based app while tumblr is more versatile.. and I guess it is more accepting? Or rather, it's common for a community here to receive less hate than it would on tiktok, where people can't resist the urge to hate on a video instead of scrolling. Not only is it more difficult to control the content that appears on your fyp, but tiktok users are also incapable of blocking a hashtag or ignoring the content they dislike so they won't see it anymore.

Generally speaking, alterhuman tiktok videos won't be taken seriously by anyone outside the alterhuman community. And when a non-human makes a video about the topic, 80% of the comments will be from people who think horribly of us. I guess that tumblr is full of scary people whereas tiktok is full of immature idiots. Everything has its flaws, lol

Not going to lie, I feel like the alterhuman/therian community on here is a lot more community based than it is on TikTok. I feel like TikTok, it's a lot more individualistic and individual based, which is fine and dandy but in here, I feel like we are more community based.

I honestly prefer the community centered vibes that Tumblr has over the individualistic vibes that TikTok gives. It makes me feel less alone and it also makes me feel like I don't have to perform my alterhumanity to people to prove myself.

I'm not going to lie, I've been kinsidering kining Shadow Milk Cookie from Crk (Cookie run kingdom). For literally 4 months, but this month has been kind of constant of thinking about it - cause in some way it feels like me?

I've had dreams where beings were anthropomorphic! The last one I talked about was about dragon anthro's - I think I said humanoid, but they were that instead 💀 I legit forgot the word.

I was a dragon, a drake dragon, to be specific, and I remember another was a western dragon. I was a decetive trying to help solve a case with different dragons. Dude, this dream was actually so cool 😭.

It actually felt so normal to me in this dream, and I was so confused why I woke up human.

duh last night I had a dream where all anthropomorphic animals were just transitioned therians and they were living in something like Zootopia but without discrimination
