#psychological nonhuman

[copperrust]

genuinely every single expression of nonhumanity is so beautiful

i love therians and otherkin spiritual psychological or otherwise

i love otherhearteds and copinglinks

i love physical nonhumans of all kinds including zooanthropes endels and holotheres

i love alterhumans

i love real-life and fictional theriotypes

i love animal-related xenogenders and neopronouns

i love connecting to nonhumanity or being nonhuman due to neurodivergence

i love nonhumans due to delusions or trauma

i love furries and i love people who feel like their true selves wearing a fursuit

i love pups and horseplayers and queer people whose sexuality is connected to their nonhumanity

i love people who are fully 100% nonhuman and i love people whose nonhumanity is wearing cat ears and a tail

i love puppygirls and catboys and werewolves

i love people who connect nonhumanity with them being outside traditional gender norms

i love how making a human-lion was one of the first product of artistry ever made by humans (and the oldest statue that we discovered)

(this is mostly animal-focused but i love people connected to flora and still life and machines too and everything related to that)

we see ourselves in everything around us as if it were our reflection

"You're a monster!"

Yes! I am!

I am a shadow creature that peeks through your window and bites you.

I hide under your bed, waiting.

I hide in the day, but simply camouflage at night.

I am a monster.

You should be scared of me.

i am so tired of seeing people calling therianthropy spiritual. sure, for some people it is, but this is not a spiritual exclusive experience. it is psychological, it is physical, and it is spiritual. not everyone has a past life they’re connected with. people need to stop being exclusive in their terminology

Fluid kintypes - identity doesn't need to be static

I used to be a wolf, once. Not in a past-life sense, but in a therian sense - I was a wolf therian and then I wasn't. Sounds weird to you? I'm not surprised!

Something that I have repeatedly been told by other therians and otherkin is "you are what you are and if you find out you are something else - well, then you never were the first thing at all." Especially when I joined the community several years ago, I saw this statement everywhere. But let me tell you: it's not true. I had several different kintypes over the years (side note: we are plural and for the sake of this post I am simplifying some internal structure things. if you want the complicated details, feel free to ask! /gen), started as a wolf therian, then I was a cryptid, a dinosaur, a dragon and some kind of monster. Now I am Khhanivore (from Love, Death and Robots) and Mewtu (from Pokemon, Mewtu is the German spelling) - and a raptor kintype is coming back. (I am also a werewolf, but that's not a kintype, that's just Purely Me And My Whole Essence)

"Okay Istasha, but isn't that just questioning or maybe flickertypes?", you might ask. Fair point, but no.

I honestly never really questioned my kintypes - if I truly question something, it turns out to either be a hearttype or Nothing at All. As for kintypes, I just know - all of us just know what we are, it's like chilling and one day, suddenly, one of us is like "oh, I am a horse. alright, carry on" and that's it. Our kintypes stay with us for several months at least, theoretically they could stay forever but tend to change along the way - which brings me to the next point. They aren't flickertypes either. We only really get fictionflickers and sometimes animalflickers and those are extremely short and always tied to media we are currently consuming - they feel, technically, like kintypes to me. For example, if I watch a lot of Supernatural, I sometimes get an intense feeling of belonging there, of being a non-canon character, of being part of the story, etc. I am this non-canon character in that moment, I might even get pseudo-memories or shifts, but as soon as I don't engage with that show too much again, it instantly fades.

Our kintypes don't work like that. Take my re-emerging dinosaur kintype as an example. I was walking somewhere a few days ago and suddenly had a pahntom sensation in my legs and feet and in the same moment I knew "ah shit, new kintype". I gave it a day because maaayyybe it's nothing? But deep down I already knew what was going on, so I have an Utahraptor kintype now. I am this. I identify as this through and through and it feels like I've always been this way. But it wasn't - a week ago I wasn't a dinosaur and now I am. I did not choose it, I did not engage with any dinosaur media at all, it just happened.

My kintypes have always been changing and trust me when I say I had a complete identity crisis when my wolf kintype first went away. But over the years Ive learned to accepot it - my identy is not static, it never was and it never will be and that's okay!

It doesn't make my kintypes less important or less real and it also doesn't mean I never was a wolf. I was. And then I wasn't.

I honestly think it is so, so damaging to still have this "kintypes are static"-sentient floating around in the community, because that's simply not true for all of us. For me, it honestly even makes more sense this way. Our brain has always been unstable, I lacked a true identity for so long. We grew up with untreated BPD andf although the symptoms are 95% under my control now (read: it's in remission), our brain still has a ton of habits from that time, like clinging onto different things to try and form an identity, to try and fill the void where a person should be. And the fact that the void is filled now, that I finally am enough of a person to fill it, this habit never changed. Our brain still randomly grabs things and makes them one of us, leading to fluid kintypes.

Let me end this with saying: being wrong about a kintype is fine. Figuring out you are X instaed of Y and never were Y is fine. But it is also fine to be X today and Y tomorrow.

I think I've said this before but I'll say it again: we, as a community, need to take our identities less and more serious at the same time. Let's stop the gatekeeping and policing others, let's stop overanalyzing ourselves so much. Let's stop looking for rules and asking "is it possible to be this?" over and over again - because the answer is yes. There are literally no rules as to how, why and what you can be. In order to be otherkin you need to do exactly one thing: identify as The Thing in question. Nothing else. On the other hand, we need to kindly educate those who confuse identify as and identify with, we need to kindly educate young therians who "choose their theriotypes", we need to make sure we are not watered down to being "a fun thing you can do".

I sometimes feel like the focus and effort of this community is in good faith but in the wrong place - static kintypes is one of them.

There are no limits. Be who you are today and if you are something else tomorrow, be that then. <3

I hate that the main defense of alterhuman (usually therian) identity has become “it’s a spiritual belief” because it completely ignores the existence of psychological alterhumans and leaves us to fend for ourselves

Whump Prompts 130: Lab Whump Aesthetic

CW: lab whump (obviously), blood, self-harm, psychological/emotional whump, magic whump

The lab rat uniform: loose, drab, hanging on whumpee's frame like it doesn't feel comfortable there

Bloodstained, soiled clothing, the result of experimentation

Whumpee left naked in their cell as their uniform is washed

Whumpee arriving at the lab facility as a new subject and realizing that whumper will be experimenting on them, not with tools and drugs, but with dark magic

Inhuman whumpees losing whatever shreds of humanity they might have had as time and experiments continue and they're treated more and more like animals

Or, conversely, inhuman whumpees that become more human and exhibit more human emotions as they're mistreated

Whumpee forgetting their own name because they're only referred to by a subject number

Disorientation from drugs/experiment aftermath

Whumpee's sleep, the only time they're alone, being disrupted by nightmares about what's been done to them

Or, a whumpee who's never left alone, always watched, always under observation of some kind

Whumpee's skin slowly turning into a scarred, chaotic mess from cuts/syringes/injections, etc.

Whumpee seeing their own distress and pain mirrored in the glimpsed faces of other lab rats in the facility

Whumpee learning to see themself as nothing but a test subject

Bandages, sterile gauze, sterile lights, sterile everything

Whumpee being overwhelmed when they catch a glimpse of life outside the lab when visitors arrive

Waking up after an experiment, seeing bloodied instruments and wondering groggily what terrible thing whumper could have done to them now

Learning to damage their own body to foil whumper's plans

Whumpee becoming desensitized to whumper's drugs and needing higher and higher doses for them to work

No longer recognizing their own body after recovering from whumper's last experiment

Whumper leading lab rat whumpee to a mirror, after intentionally keeping them away, and letting them see how pathetic they've become

Or, whumpee looking in a mirror and realizing that whumper has turned them into a monster

Whumpee deciding that it's too late for them and they might as well embrace what they've become

Defiant Whumpee with the ability to see the future is stuck in captivity. They see their future self broken and conditioned without any fight left in them. No matter what they choose, they will always end up as Whumper's pet. The question is just when and what will do the trick.

It's so funny to me that ppl are weirded out by nonhuman/alterhuman folk. cuz like, you cursed us out and made us feel different, and 'dehumanize' us because of our identity, and often because of illnesses, disabilities and neurodivergency. But now that we agree, "yes we're not human", you have a problem with us not being human.

The amount of times I was called a psycho cuz of something or other, I'd think they wouldn't be surprised when it turned out I don't exactly vibe with humanity.

It's almost as if they're mad they lost a way to hurt us, eh.

Phantom limbs are so funky.

My tail is wagging what do you mean you can't tell if l'm happy?

Why am I moving my back like that? I'm just stretching my wings man. Gotta make sure my feathers are laying right.

Well yeah obviously I'm pissed, can't you see that my hackles are raised???

You can't tell, but my tail is twined around your ankle, because sometimes dragons need emotional support.

My mind is broken into two: one side is wolf and the other is Human. They do not get along.

The human is ashamed of the wolf. The wolf’s existence makes them feel different and othered. Still having the wolf is a lasting scar on their past. It’s instincts go against everything the human was taught, so the human hides it away.

The wolf is resentful of the human. The human makes it feel caged and stifled. Their body makes the wolf feel wrong and uncomfortable. The wolf can’t look at itself without the human staring back.

Sometimes I wish I could manifest my two halves to meet. Then maybe they could see the beauty in eachother.

The wolf would see that the human is just scared and broken and needs to be protected, while the human would see that the wolf is a wounded animal that needs love and care.

For now they are divided, but maybe one day, they will meet as one.

(Update: Turns out I’m plural so me and “my wolf half” are starting to feel a little more at peace now <33)
