Doodled Something Silly. Enjoy.

Putting myself back out into the dating scene has reminded me of how scary the thought of coming out as nonhuman to others can be, and the thought of having to come out to a human partner has been giving me a decent bit of anxiety.

It's easy with friends, most just accept that there's something a little "not human" about me, whether that comes from being a furry or just a general vibe, they get it. I don't have to actually sit down and explain exactly what I am to them unless I really really want to. But it's different with a partner, someone I want to be in a serious long term relationship with. It isn't something I could just casually neglect to tell them, at least not forever. I've always been bad at hiding things about myself from others, having to keep my therianthropy a secret from someone Im in a serious relationship with would be next to impossible, not to mention emotionally exhausting. I would want them to know and embrace it, but I can't pretend like there isn't a possibility that wont happen. Coming out to partners in the past hasn't gone quite the way Ive would have liked, nothing bad, but it just ended up feeling like an unspoken taboo between us and it kinda made me feel like shit. Like it was something that they loved me in spite of.

Ideally I'd love to be with another alterhuman, but obviously that more than halves my available options which are already small to begin with on account of the whole being gay thing. Idk it just stresses me out, I wish I could feel comfortable being my full self around someone else, animal and all, but I don't think Im ever going to find someone who isn't a little weirded out by it unfortunately.

being fictionkin and proship at the same time gotta be the single biggest contradiction ever

Yk what fuck it im otherlink now idc :P

Im cervid (primarily reindeer and excluding moose) and corvid clado link. Honestly these might be legitimate theriotypes, Ive been questioning them forever, but I neither have the time or motivation to actually try to figure it out rn so whatever. They both just feel very me but in a much less serious/deeply rooted way as my other kintypes, if I wasn't already a therian I probably wouldn't think of them as anything more than animals I enjoy portraying myself as lol

But yeah this is what I look like irl, local reindeer and bluejays hmu lets be friends ❆.°🪶

Fictional characters that I headcanon as alterhuman/speciesqueer and why !

Not my usual content but whatever this is my blog and I can do whatever I want :P

Nimona (Nimona 2023) - Speciesfluid

I rlly don't think I need to explain this one lol. Moving on!

(Couldn't find a flag for this </3)

Robin (Robin Robin 2021) - BiSpecies

Refers to herself as a mouse throughout the whole movie and wears her feathers purposefully styled to resemble mouse ears, continues to happily wear said ears even after embracing her identity as a bird. She's a bird and a mouse without a doubt.

Luz Noceda (The Owl House 2020) - Otherhearted

I dont have much reasoning behind this tbh, I just feel in my soul that she's alterhuman in someway (projecting) and it seems fitting for her, probably bat hearted or smth lol

Standford Pines (Gravity Falls 2012) - Nonhuman

Are you seriously gonna try and tell me that this man traveled across the multiverse for years and still came back feeling completely human? Yeah right

Jinx (Arcane 2021) - Voidpunk

Also dont feel like this one needs a lot of explanation :P

Roz (The Wild Robot 2024) - Transspecies

"I feel fine" "You are defective. You are in the wrong place, and you have become the wrong thing." Damn okay we're not choosing to be subtle about this huh? Also our quadrobics queen <3

Enid Sinclair (Wednesday 2022) - Therian

Casually refers to herself as a cat despite (supposedly) being a wereWOLF, mannerisms and personality resemble a social feline more than a canine, especially compared to the other werewolves we see in the show. I know what you are Sinclair 👁️👁️

Rafiki (Mufasa 2024) - Alterbeing/Species Non-Conforming

Is largely unbothered when others refer to him as a baboon, only corrects them when he's trying to make a point. I just feel like he'd be very chill about identity and have a sort of go with the flow attitude towards it.

Vee (The Owl House 2020) - BiAnthro

Girl is LITERALLY human and nonhuman simultaneously. Look at her. She is 1000% too cool for anyone else's binaries.

Masha (The Owl House 2020) - Therian/Otherkin

I. just. KNOW. this bitch runs a therian tumblr blog. Idk how but I do. Def joined the community through tiktok before eventually making the switch to tumblr and was able to fully grow into themselves and their identity. Teaches Vee how to do quadrobics.

Lest (Arcane 2021) - Transspecies

Transfem catgirls go prrrrrrrr

Hunter (The Owl House 2020) - Furry

Dude loves wolves, literally makes his own wolf shirt so he can wear it around. Im sorry but it does not get anymore furry coded than that. Also I just think the mental image of him running around in a fursuit is hilarious and I love it sm

RADQUEERS AND PROSHIPPERS FUCK OFF THIS POST IS NOT FOR YOU. IF I SEE YALL INTERACTING IM INFECTING YOU WITH RABIES ON SIGHT

REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE!

🐾🦷🌿 :3

🐾 ➤ Yes and no. For my wolf and coyote theriotype, yep I live in the same environment! Coyotes hang out a lot around where I live and there's a wolf pack about 20 miles from my house I think. It's super nice and makes me feel very at home. As for my other theriotypes no, and the only one who's environment I'd like to live in is my otter type, since the other two live on the savanna and I don't really like excessive heat/dryness lol (I also would enjoy living in the northwestern region of Europe which is the environment i associate Wolfbloods with, but idk if that fully counts since technically Wolfbloods can live anywhere lmao)

🦷 ➤ It's a combo of spiritual and psychological for me. Some of my kintypes (like wolfblood and wolf) stem from being autistic and "imprinting" on these creatures when I was young or from multiple kintype experiences mushing together to make smth new (wolf + wildebeest + human = coyote), whereas others (like AWD and otter) I view as past life experiences. However, I also believe that my neurodivergency allows me to better connect to spiritual aspects of myself. So while some parts of my nonhumanity are spiritual in origin, they're all through the lens of neurodivergency.

🌿 ➤ Hiking, exploring, journaling, parkour, quadrobics, vocals, playing tag, making art, and plant keeping ^^

i hope you get brutally killed and someone rips your jaw from your face

Im glad u guys find me so alluring but pls don't flirt with me if ur gonna stay anonymous :(

Time for my yearly session of "am I no longer *insert theriotype*, or do I just feel less connected to it bc of seasonal changes???"
