•Powwow of the Nonhuman Presenter and Vendor Applications are Open!•

•Greetings! The powwow of the nonhuman event is now accepting applications for presenters and vendors who wish to participate in the first annual powwow of the nonhuman!

What is Powwow of the Nonhuman?

•The powwow of the nonhuman is an annual virtual event meant to promote representation for indigenous peoples and people of color who identify as nonhuman. We are sadly fragmented and unrepresented among the otherkind community, this event seeks to change that sad fact. Powwows are not only for indigenous peoples from the continental americas, though also for indigenous peoples from everywhere in the world! We welcome indigenous peoples from Africa, Asia, Island Nations, Australia, The Middle East, and other parts of the world! All people of color are welcome to this event, regardless of whether or not they identify with being indigenous or not!

Powwow Presenter Details

•Presenters for the powwow of the nonhuman will be allowed to speak about any topic pertaining to their indigenous heritage, their otherkinity, their experiences with spirituality, or their environmental work. The experiences discussed in these presentations can be positive or negative in nature, we want every powwow presenter to feel truly free to express every aspect of themselves. All presentations for the powwow will be pre-recorded and edited in to premier on December 20th. Presenters will be working with staff members and video editors to create their ideal presentation for the powwow.

Powwow Vendor Details

•Vendors for the powwow of the nonhuman will be able to advertise and sell their wares during the event. Vendors for the powwow will be allowed to sell artwork (drawings, paintings, sculptures, ceramics, literature, or music), crafts (pottery, jewelry, dreamcatchers, rattles, medicine bags, drums, pipes, beadwork, baskets, woodworks, and animal medicine), items from nature (flowers, plants, sage, ceremonial wood, stones, crystals, animal pelts, or bones), foods (fruits, seeds, vegetables, baked goods, or candy) and miscellaneous services in between powwow presentations.

So, more sites for animal research!

Im so glad ppl actually found this helpful, so I found more sites similar to animalia ☆

[yes I accidentally deleted this... I'm writing a second time]

Most similar to animalia are animalcorner.org and animalspot.net.

More focused ones are allaboutbirds.org for avian therians, oceaninfo.com and oceana.org (the marine life encyclopedia can be found under the research section) for ocean creatures.

Earth.com is still general, only it has a plant encyclopedia too!! woohoo!

For paleotherians helpfull can be newdinosaurs.com!!

And for more magical creatures I found mythicalencyclopedia.com, which even has sections by type and culture of the creature. And even a section of artificial ones. And an app?? it seems??

I've made a few posts talking about things in the nonhuman and alterhuman communities recently, mostly just brief looks into them, so I thought I would share this one.

The info may not be all that much, and could easily be expanded upon, but I did my best for a simple bit of info for certain things.

All pictures have ALT text included, but I shall post the text also here, under a cut, cause it's a bit long, lol

Nonhuman as an identity: To identify as not human either fully or partially. (hate/trolls will be reported and deleted)

Reminder: These are all personal identities and why someone identifies as nonhuman and what term someone decides to use for themself is exclusively their business. In the end it is what makes the most sense to the individual and not up to others. Now, onto some of the communities that are included under the nonhuman identity:

Otherkin: from the term "otherkind" - an identity which typically encompasses being wholly or partially a nonhuman entity. Usually understood to cover those who identify as mythical creatures and other fantastical things. Also covers those that fall outside of beings and creatures.

Examples of non-being or creature based identities: Conceptkin: an identity where one identifies as a concept such as the concept of night or fire. Objectkin: and identity where one identifies as an object. Songkin: an identity where one identifies as a song.

Examples of being and creature based identities: Therianthropy: usually shortened to therian - where one identifies AS a nonhuman animal. Some will say that this term refers to only earthen animals, living or extinct, but it has never only encompassed earthly animals. The community's language came from those who identify as werecreatures. Theriomythic: an alternate identity term for one who identifies in some intrinsic was as a mythical creature. Paleotherian: an identity term for one who identifies as a now extinct earthly animal, like a dinosaur or mammoth.

Cladotherian or Cladokin: an identity term for one who does not identify as a distinct species, but a broader identity encompassing an entire genus or larger grouping. Cladomythic: an identity term for one who identifies as a group (clade) of animalistic mythical creatures.

Fictionkin: an identity term that covers all things fictional. For those who identify as something fictional like characters, animals, species, objects, etc. These can be from books, shows, video games, etc, but not always! Original fictional characters and such are also possible.

There are many other identities that fall under the nonhuman umbrella which is why it's important to do your own research to figure out if a certain term works for you. All these identities share the trait of being involuntary. You cannot choose to be therian, otherkin, or the other mentioned identities.

While the already mentioned identities are involuntary, there are some identities that fall under being voluntary. Otherlink: an identity where one voluntarily identifies as nonhuman. Copinglink: an identity where one voluntarily identifies as nonhuman to copes with things such as trauma, stress, etc.

A lot of people may also say that it is impossible to become a therian, otherkin, etc. While the identity is involuntary, things like trauma and neurodivergence can cause an individual to take on a nonhuman identity when they had not had one previously.

Most will usually see people explain that these identities are spiritual or psychological, but these are only some of the ways that individuals may experience them. Some other experiences of nonhumanity: Symbolic Metaphorical Ancestral Physical (Yes this is an actual reason for some and they are just as much a part of the community as anyone else. Physical and Ancestral nonhumans are part of the community's history and some of its founders.)

For those looking for more information, and community places, here are some places to check out! Werelist Nonhuman National Park Alterhuman Archive The Chimera's Library. The above are forums and archives of information on the community. Most archived information is thanks to who-is-page, liongoatsnake and frameacloud on tumblr.

While this is a brief look into the nonhuman identity that I could share, I do hope it has been helpful in some way. Remember to be true to yourself, and don't let anyone tell you how to feel. Ignore, report, delete and block the haters!

Yeen out~

✶ DRACONIC GLORY ✶

[ * ARHRRGRGHJRGHRGH this is finally DOOOONEEEEE ]

[ * I've never done such rendering with this method before (painted it and picked the colors by hand in a layer above the sketch/lineart and base color layer) and it turned out SO SO WELL ]

[ * I also wanted to give it a touch of computer-screen-ish-look because that just adds so nicely ]

[ * Took 8 hours in total, drawn on Krita along with a Wacom Intuos S tablet ]

[ * Feels nice to draw my dragon kintype :} i haven't really done a fully-rendered drawing of myself in a while ]

[ * Also a small attempt at poetry... alterhuman poetry.... i don't really write poetry so apologies if it's wonky :P but i'm personally happy about it! ]

For other therians/otherkins/alterhumans:

I see a lot of posts about phantom limbs, which is fair. It's upsetting when people can't see your limbs! I understand

BUT I also wanted to tell you all that a few weeks ago my irl friend Onyx was happy and I was sitting next to them and they had a phantom tail and I could feel THEIR tail wagging. I could see it even if I couldn't SEE it. I'm also autistic and can't read body language so it isn't that I just saw that they were happy, it was SPECIFICALLY their tail that made me recognize that they were happy

Humans may not always be able to be as on-level with us but I like to think after that that they can feel it sometimes, they can tell your tail is wagging!! They just might not understand how they know or what that means
