finding a spot on the floor where the sun is hitting it and it's all warm and you sit/lay on it. true creature behavior (i'm doing it right now) (it feels great)
Interesting! I think that’s similar to how I am. Outwardly people see a human form, but in reality I am (sometimes) an anthropomorphized snake. I have the ability to shift around between fully snake to something more anthro.
hello!! I was curious: how do you personally define werebat? I love hearing different creature’s descriptions of themselves!
Hello! For me, being a werebat is essentially like being a werewolf. However I don't have a "human" form so to speak. My human form is the outward appearance that eyes perceive. However I am still a werebat, to myself and to those who know me.
As for a descriptor, I would say imagine a fursuit of a bat. My wings are usually in one of two states; they are attached to the underside of my arms, allowing me to have paws, or they are my arms themselves. The first example with the paws being like this image here.

Wondering if other fae (or fae adjacent) can relate to this notion: we don’t seem to be social creatures. Maybe this has more to do with my particular clade, but from what I’ve observed and heard us fae don’t seem to be terribly social.
I have one companion who I seriously talk to and many more friends (I suppose they would be called) who I interact with by observing. I engage with people, but it’s always through this veil of humanity. I never interact as my real self. And I don’t really feel the need to.
I have a theory that changelings don’t require the companionship of humans since we’re something else, but that we might enjoy it since we have to blend in to some extent. However I only have my own experience to go off of, so I can’t ever be certain that this applies to others.
I’m not sure if this is purely due to the fact that I’m a changeling or if other types of fae experience this or if it’s simply my personality. Regardless of the reason, I am quite content alone. I enjoy being around people and observing as a way of entertaining myself, but I don’t seem to have the same social needs as the humans I’m surrounded by.
╺⃝⃤ Welcome!
My name’s Five! I use any pronouns, but my main ones are it/its.
This is my blog for pretty much anything. I basically just fire my brain into this space and see what happens. Mainly this will be for my nonhuman stuff, mental health, and pets.
FUN FACTS
I’m physically nonhuman. I am a changeling in the form of a snake, a deity/angel, and a wolpertinger.
I have schizoaffective disorder (bipolar), ADHD, and DID.
I’m aroace.
I have three pet rats <3
I’m an adult (19), but this blog is completely sfw, so minors are free to interact.
Zoophiles, pedophiles, homophobes, transphobes, racists, ableists, etc. do not interact.
I have bouts where I am semi-verbal. I've seen lots of people talk about how when you become semi/non-verbal, it's painful to talk. I don't experience pain with it though.
When I become less verbal, my lips feel like they're glued together. It's not in a scary way either. It's either in a heavy way, where it feels like it takes a great amount of force to open my mouth and say something, or it's in a peaceful/natural way, where I simply don't feel the need to talk anymore.
Usually, I also become less emotive too. I am usually super expressive, but it becomes like my entire face has been drained of the energy it needs to move as much. Most of the time, I can answer very basic responses such as one word answers, or small phrases that don't require thought (i.e. I don't know)
Sometimes I become semi-verbal when I become too overwhelmed. Other times, I become semi-verbal because I've been alone too long, I'm recharging, I'm deep inside my own head, or I've been hyperfocused on something.
What does it feel like for other people who become semi/non-verbal?
being autistic as a kid without knowing it be like: *taps foot on the floor* *gets told to stop because the tapping is annoying* *stims in the school bathroom* *stims at home* *stims when reading whatever book you attached yourself to* *gets called a good reader* *attaches self to a group of people who don’t really wanna be your friends but they tolerate you* *gets placed with random people for group projects* *stims in the school bathroom* *gets called a picky eater at home* *gets put into the gifted program but is also really bad at some topics* *draws in class* *stims in class* *gets ignored* *stims in class* *stims in class* *stims in c
gotta love the perpetual "BUT WE KNOW WE'RE PHYSICALLY HUMAN!!!!" from the therian community. You know, instead of just saying "..identifying as an animal to varying degrees".
Gotta love it. Have fun making yourself pallatable to humans who see no distinction between us either way i guess./s
Snake Therian Culture is mourning the fact I can't dangle freely in branches
oh how relaxing that would be, basking in the sun!
