For my followers (or anyone that interacts frequently), I want to know...

*- please correct me if I used the wrong terms here

I tried to come up with as many general alterhuman groups that I could think of or have generally seen big groups of, and I'm asking in case anyone wants to join a server I'd like to make in order to expand my relationships within the community

Hopefully this template isn’t too vague, but I decided to try my hand at a nonhuman bingo, having seen it making the rounds. Both earthly, non-earthly, fictional reptile and amphibian-adjacent folks please feel free to use; enjoy!

Mine is under the cut :-)

Bingo!

My experiences swimming as a human with a semi-aquatic theriotype

Swimming has always been an odd thing for me. I love water, I love being in water, but something about swimming the way I was taught feels weird.

This could be because I only learned how to swim in my mid teens and was not professionally taught. I swim with a sort of modified breastsroke, keeping my head above the water and kicking my legs instead of doing that froglike leg movement. I wouldn’t call it good, or comfortable for longer periods of time, but it keeps me afloat.

Swimming in the ways I have seen always seems jerky and sporadic. Unnatural, like a creature out of its element. I lack the tail and specialized body to propel myself through water as I feel I should be able to. Trying to stay afloat as a human feels like a frantic flailing, a battle against gravity.

However, I have figured out a more comfortable way of swimming I call the “jellyfish” technique(pictured below). For those who want to try it, it is done by floating on the back, face above the surface. The arms mimic the movement of a jellyfish’s bell, the arms reaching out and then moving back toward the sides in slow, wavy motions. The legs trail behind the body with small kicks to help keep them floating as high as the torso.

It is not a fast swimming motion and you can’t really see where you’re going but it has that smooth graceful motion of something built to swim. It also provides good opportunity to roll back into a forward facing swimming position, limbs splayed out for buoyancy and waving slowly in the water.

That is the best form of swimming I have found that doesn’t feel like a human trying and failing to move like something inhuman. Another thing you can do is wear goggles and dive down to the bottom of a shallow area, swimming along the bottom and observing anything below the water. This works best in natural bodies of water with things like sand, rocks, plants, creatures and sunken objects, but it can be done in a pool as well.

You can also dive a few feet down, trying to stay horizontal, and roll onto your back, looking up at the surface of the water. It both reflects some things below it and shows a version of the sky above that looks wobbly because of the waves.

In the shallows

I float contently in the murky green water of the pond, limbs splayed for balance, flat tail waving lazily to propel myself through the slow currents. The warm sun filters down from the surface, casting bright stripes and patches on the layer of silt beneath me. 

Drifting toward the shore, I exit the water, moving one limb, then two, three, four, a long tail gently trailing along the algae slick rocks. I navigate the rain-damp leaf litter to find a comfortable little nook to rest in. Pebbles and flakes of tree bark stick to my skin but I don’t mind. That’s just how it is on the forest floor.

Questioning journal 2- being in water

Swimming sort of helps, but only in places like lakes or things like backyard pools. Public pools are much too crowded, too loud, with their square corners and smooth, pale tile. Lakes are best, as they have a natural incline, filled with a variety of natural aquatic landscape and creatures. I can swim or crawl through the shallows and float as I please in the deeper areas.

It also tends to cause mild species dysphoria, as I can’t swim by waving my tail and keeping my limbs close to my body. I must use my arms and legs to propel myself, I must swim with a human body.

I had hoped to visit a nearby lake to swim last summer, in an attempt to gather information and general feelings, but there was not time for it this year.

I tried baths as a form of connecting, as well as meditation. I would often have a candle lit that smells of my habitat, sounds of crickets, frogs and wind rustling the trees playing on my phone, occasionally a bath bomb to make the water a murky blue-green.

It didn’t help much, as the warm water was comfortable but felt nothing at all like the colder ponds, lakes and puddles. I would try lukewarm or cold water, but unless it’s summer or I have the heat cranked up, it would be too cold for comfort. It doesn’t help that the tub is shallow and much too small to sprawl out. I have to fold and tuck in my limbs, and even then I can’t be fully submerged. I have no tail and there is too much difference between my physical and non-physical form for them to line up properly. maybe that’s why I don’t get phantom shifts.

There’s something about being one of the few people who care about a small creature of an endangered species, understanding their struggles and wondering why nobody else feels the same. Living and working in similar condition to those salamanders. Feeling almost like an amphibian trapped in its burrow feeling unwell as the air quality lowers, unable to do anything about
