Wondering If Other Fae (or Fae Adjacent) Can Relate To This Notion: We Don’t Seem To Be Social Creatures.

The struggle to act right in public when you really want to act like the creature you are

[Your gender is related to dogs somehow? That’s so cool!]

Hello, have question regarding changelings. What qualify as one? Have be fae? Am not human, am dragon winter spirit, made look like human and raised by, but know not real parents. Resonate lot with last post, and even other things read about changelings, so made wonder if can be called one, if is "broad term" for nonhuman creatures exchanged/replaced at birth, or if is more specific to species or something similar.

I don’t think there is an exact definition to changeling. We’re not exactly a species but more of a category of creatures swapped for human young. For me personally the fae aspect is a big part of my changeling identity. However, I don’t see why another creature switched at birth couldn’t be considered a changeling. I think if the stories of changelings really resonate with you, then you could use the word to identify yourself.

relationships are so weird sometimes cause like, my friends were discussing how girls are hot and im just over here like “anyone wanna hear me recite stay calm from memory?”

also this point is a bit unrelated, but I find it funny that I keep rats when I’m a snake. whenever I play with them all I can of think is the phrase “playing with your food”. despite the fact that they are technically my prey, I have no urges towards them. again, I see them more as children than anything else.

I don’t know if it has to do with the neurodivergence or the nonhumanity but my relationship with pets is a bit odd. they are more siblings or children than anything else. we are both creatures which is something humans often fail to recognize/respect.

the rats I take care of are my friends. not mine through ownership, but mine through relationship.

I doubt this view is really all that uncommon in the nonhuman community, but I have yet to see much talk about it.

if any mutuals (or anyone really) ever wanna chat, I promise I’m real chill. anons are fine too!I’m kinda awkward, but I’m always up for random conversations.

Hey, shout out to the otherkin, therian, alterhumans, and any other non-humans with "weird" or "gross" ___-types.

Shout out to the otherkin, therian, alterhumans, and any other non-humans with "weird" or "gross" instincts, urges, feelings, or habits due to their non-human-ness.

Shout out to the otherkin, therian, alterhumans, and any other non-humans who have ever had to hide their own species behind a trigger warning.

Shout out to the otherkin, therian, alterhumans, and any other non-humans who feel like they don't even "fit in" in our own community. I'm in the same position.

We need to have each other's backs.

On a purely physical level, I love our jaws. Snakes have incredibly flexible jaws which we use to consume prey that’s too large for the average mouth. I just think that’s neat.

I love that so many of us (changelings) are capable of shapeshifting. I find it a very interesting phenomenon. The ways in which we are (and aren’t) able to blend in with humans is fascinating too.

Physical nonhumans, holotheres, supernaturals and any other physical nonhumans, tell me your favorite thing about your biological species that you might think is underrated by others.

So many aspects of your biology feel so special to the self that others might overlook, especially if your kind is generally underrated. Few think about rabbits and hares with the same sense of importance as a hare or a rabbit itself.

Each creature has its own therocentric beliefs and thoughts, the same way humans are very anthropocentric in their view of the value of humanity. Tell me about what you find beautiful about your kind, regardless of if you're elf, alien, zombie, animal or shifter.

if you’ve been trained to to dislike yourself for enjoying anything due to years of being told you’re annoying clap your hands 👏👏👏

if I listed out every particular instance that was met with negativity enough for me to stop feeling comfortable talking about it, this comic would be like 50 panels.
