i do want to say to the other nonhumans who have been told that their otherkin, fictionkin, therian, alterhuman, or other nonhuman identity is "just a phase" and that it would go away if you "had less free time" or "more to do with your time"- i want to say that at least in my case, that's really just a big fat lie
i began identifying as nonhuman in late 2010, early 2011. i was browsing otherkin forums back then, back when forums were still widely used. it took up a lot of my thoughts at first because it was new and it can take a while to figure out what your nonhuman identity is. as time passed and my life got progressively harder, going through bouts of homelessness, living in hotels, having my trust broken by friends... never did i once lose my nonhumanity.
sure it fell to the back of my mind while other priorities took the wheel, like paying for shelter, but if anything, being homeless and experiencing the "real world" solidified my nonhuman identity more than anything. being exposed to the "real world" make me understand that i do not understand how humans think, and that i still am not one, over 10 years later. i never became misanthropic, but my feelings of "otherness" only intensified as i became more and more confused about the human experience, which lead me to feel less and less like one. something like the feeling of a lost coyote who wandered too far into the city, staring at the city skyline, unfamiliar with this terrain, unsure of how to even begin to adapt.
if something is a part of you, it won't just go away because other things come along. i never stopped identifying as a wolfdog even while i was scared out of my mind and busy facing the challenges of the human world. those challenges and hurdles that don't exist in the natural world literally reinforced my understanding of my nonhumanity. i will simply never get the way humans think or operate, and that's fine. it's literally a non-issue. they don't get me, either.

Is anyone else kinda fascinated by the human race? I’m drinking soda and thinking, “wow, humans really do love these fizzy sugary drinks”. Taking care of plants that they have inside their own homes because they like them. Making soft safe versions of animals that they can cuddle. Creating different types of fabrics to express their style. And so much more.

nobody talks about the struggle of having a kintype from a source that's actually just horribly cringy
it's like
"hey this piece of media is a really integral part of my identity as an individual and has had a big influence on my life, it means a lot to me and is one of my favorites :)"
"oh cool we should watch it then!"
"... no"

I miss my snout. Why are my teeth so compact. Let me open my mouth, wedge a bone in there and crush it open to eat the marrow. Hrrrgh.

Calling all canine alterhumans for a second-
Which of these do you prefer?
I'm asking because I see a lot of canines hyping up sticks, but I really don't feel them? Balls are cool, but I really like chew toys the most. It's just nice having something to gnaw on while watching a movie for example! :3

ELF HRT (ft. @onkarlos5)
Tumblr media
Inspired by @ayviedoesthings (dragon hrt, and they started the thing iirc), @kaylasartwork (bat hrt) @nyxisart (puppy hrt), @welldrawnfish (fish hrt I think), and many more!
I also originally got the idea of elf hrt from @squiretilde and it reminded me of my old elf oc from a rp sooooo :3

I’ve never been one to want to be a part of a wolf pack. But, man. Tonight I really do want to be a wolf that’s a part of a wolf pack. Wagging tails, playing, hunting elk together.
