uhhhh since people are talking about the ugly part of alterhumanity I figured I’d throw in my two cents
Fear agression - I’ve heard a lot on prey drive so I’m not gonna add but fear aggression is a big thing too. not only getting spooked and whirling around, teeth bared and maybe biting on instinct. but also seeing people who you have bad experiences with and everything in you wanting to defend yourself violently when you really can’t/shouldn’t by human standards.
Body language - For the longest time I just nodded and slow blinked instead of waving. I still don’t really know how to show upset by human standards so I just curl my lip and wish I had anything else that could show my emotion like ears to flip back or fur to bristle. I don’t get human body language either except in the overlap between nonhuman and human. I do not know how to show human emotion because i have had a nonhuman body map for as long as I can remember. Also autism
pack mentality & attachment issues - idk how common this is but I am so viciously attached to my pack and my mate that sometimes it’s really hard to step back and realize that sometimes they’re wrong or that they should fight their own battles. Being apart from them like, hurts.
Boredom in human environments - constantly feeling like a zoo animal. I’m not supposed to sit in a box for eight hours a day I’m supposed to maul prey with my teeth and run across miles and miles of coastline with my pack. not only being homesick but also jus being, like… really fucking bored, feeling restrained almost.
Hiya :) you're valid if you still partially identify as human. You can like drinking a perfect coffee while also like running free through an open field. Human things are enjoyable just as animal things are enjoyable! :)
Ppl without ADHD be like “oh if I get rid of all possible distractions then you’ll be forced to focus on the boring task!” Fool… You underestimate my Power
You cannot spend your whole life attempting to appeal to people who dislike you. You do not need to make your identity palatable for those who refuse to understand.
There is nothing wrong with believing you are actually an animal. If others say you are crazy or delusional for that, then so be it. Their opinions do not matter.
Just because they want to contort themselves to fit into the ideals of anti-kin doesn't mean the rest of us have to.
And if you think I'm crazy for believing I am "actually" a coyote? Take it up with someone who gives a shit.
idk if this is just me being sensitive, but I'm really tired of people calling me transmasculine when I've made it clear that I'm nonbinary. I feel like people have been using the terms transmasculine and transfeminine against nonbinary people, even if its unintentional. People are finding more "woke" ways of asking "are u a girl nonbinary or a boy nonbinary???" and it's tiring...
fellow nonhumans with worldly responsibilities (ex: job, school), how do you cope?
im working full time at the moment and have little time for myself. when i do have spare time, im using it all to recharge for work. this leads me to of course not engage with my hobbies, but also causes me to ignore my animalistic needs.
any advice would be appreciated
you ever just get super thirsty, guzzle half a water bottle, and think “aa yes this will sustain me for the next month”
