Found out about the Starflesh aesthetic yesterday. I can't believe they made an entire aesthetic based on me! I'm honored

ICH BIN KEIN MENSCH

ICH MÖCHTE NIE WIE MENSCHEN SEIN

MENSCHEN TÖTEN MENSCHEN

Maybe it's more of a philosophical belief than a spiritual belief, but I've been a mind-body-nondualist for a long time. However since I've awakened as an energy being (and as an alterhuman in general), I've frequently felt like I'm wearing or puppeting my body, which creates a lot of cognitive dissonance. I still believe that I am my body or at least have some sort of intrinsic connection to it, though

I have a question that I'd absolutely love to hear others opinions on. As far as I've seen, "spiritual nonhuman/otherkin/etc" generally means someone who's identity is tied to their spirituality (the only example of this I know of is things like past lives or alternate lives, forgive my ignorance here) but are there many others out there who feel like their spiritual/religious beliefs and nonhuman identity are completely disconnected or even a little contradictory?

When I first introjected I was still disconnecting from beliefs I followed in source (if you know... yeah... wasn't very good for me) and currently I am religious and finding myself feeling such a connection to a human/earth religion was a little bit of a strange experience.

Obviously I'd love to hear specifically other aliens that have found themselves in a similar position, but any response is welcomed and appreciated. I suppose the two aren't entirely separate, my memories specifically tied to the fact I am a Vorta could influence the fact I feel a connection to the idea of keeping religious beliefs, but I hope I've explained my point regarding disconnect/contradiction well

a prism inspired thingy

Clearly you haven't seen pitbull cat

Now you have, enjoy

imagine if animals were otherkin like,,, reverse therians,,, humankin

the government doesnt want you to know that there are always angels underfoot

I’m not really a fan (at all) of this persistence within the therian community that, if you are domesticated, this means you’re just a “cutesified” version of your wild (or wild-er) counterparts.

Being a dog was never a “stepdown” from being a wolf or a fully-wild canid for me. In-fact, it was always the opposite. Being a wolf would ignore the characteristics I’ve been bred to have and therefore indulge in; instinctually or not, which would diminish the entirety of me.

-Sure, a wolf spends a good portion of its life chasing cervids down. Sure, a wolf spends its life trying to survive. But why are these acts suddenly synonymous with “far stronger” and “far cooler”? -And who said domesticity was simple? It seems inherently disrespectful to prod that “wild is better”, implying that the usage of domesticating a specimen..helping eachother in the act of work, through blood and sweat, is just some “foolish game of domination.”

I like being domestic, I love it. I prefer it over being “wholly wild” - Because being domestic is strength, it’s the hunger of needing something so bad that you find eachother time and time again. Human and dog. Domestication was never “the easy way out”, it’s just another form of life - another life being born. I just.. have never been a fan of this assumption that domestication is a loss of harsh wilderness, when domesticity has never been inherently easier.

Art fight attack on @snippit-crickit ! Titled this "orbital sunrise", after the phenomenon depicted loosely in the background. I love this character and was very excited to see you on AF this year so I had an excuse to draw him!
