Just A Reminder That Your Stims Don’t Have To Be Small, Discreet, Or “normal!” No Matter How You

today’s thoughts : is escapism or just a hyperfixation

me: i want like a mentally stable friend. a friend who i can just rant to, like tell them everything im feeling and it won’t trigger or even really upset them. they could just listen and make affirmative noises, and then id just leave and that would be our whole relationship. ugh, i wish that were actually a real thing.

me: ohhhhhhhh, therapy. therapist. i want a therapist.

There’s something about the games ability to just let you be feral that delights me. I am nowhere near a wolf and yet, I can experience the wild in this game in a way which just makes me happy in spite of the species difference. Revel in wildness not matter the form.

I LOVE WOLFQUEST!!!

(I don’t know if this is just me or if other neurodivergent people experience this but) growing up I was bullied/shamed for having any interests whatsoever so now I’ve just learned to internalize any impulses to infodump. like I really want to talk about all these really interesting things, but like even thinking about telling another person just feels so wrong? and dirty? I don’t really know if this makes sense, but it’s basically unstoppable force (the need to share my hyperfixations) vs immovable object (paralyzing anxiety)

i can be trusted on a nature walk i promise. i promise i will stay on the trail and will not run off into the forest never to be seen again i promise

Holothere

Holothere

a nonhuman label that describes individuals who are physically nonhuman

HOLOTHERE

[hol-oh-thyr / hɒləʊðɪr] from greek: "holo-"=entirely ; "ther"=animal,beast noun

1. A self-identifier term for individuals who are physically and fundamentally nonhuman in every way.

"I am holothere, i am and was born a selkie" "I am a bear holothere, but i also have a theriotyope so i identify as a therian when it comes to my non-physical animal aspects."

Holothere was created in the lack for an actual term for physical nonhumans, regardless of whether they consider their physical species a result of delusion(s) or don't experience them at all. It is meant to help those who are physically other find each-other and unite, in a way, under a term. _____________________________________________ NOTE that holothery does not inherently describe transformations, or the ability to transform. Some might, some don't and simply exist as they are; the term holothere only describes individuals who are nonhuman in every sense, not the ability to teach becoming nonhuman.

"Holothere" was made to be distinct from therian, otherkin and alterhuman communities and terms, although one might also have non-physical identities and view themselves as both therian/otherkin and holothere.
