hearing birdsong outside again is healing me, actually
I need some nonhuman friends 😭
I wanna bark at you for hours, I want you to pet my head, I want to nudge you and bite your arm affectionately
I want to switch and give you pets, I want you to make your animal sounds, I want you to nudge me
I just wish we could be animals again </3
(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 WANT SOME NON HUMAN FRIENDS AAA
(reblog if you want to be friends/moots, or even talk!! <Dm me if you want to talk :3>)
A quick reminder: your nonhuman experiences are your own. They don't have to be 'cute' or 'fun' or 'aesthetic' and don't feel weird if your nonhuman behaviours aren't like the average experiance.
There is no average nonhuman experience, don't think too much about how others perceive your behaviours because it's no one else's business.
“you touched my arm and now i have to cut it off”
“i blinked wrong. i have to do it again. again. again. again. again. okay that’s better.”
“sorry i didn’t quite catch that. sorry could you just- yeah. what? huh? no i didn’t get that- could you just write it down?”
directions just go in one ear and out the other
and god forbid i have to talk to anyone with an accent
“i didn’t listen to that song right. i have to do it again. again. again. again. again. okay, better.”
the r a g e when your plan/routine gets disrupted
“oh that leaf brushed my left hand? okay cool now i gotta brush it against my right hand in exactly the same way or else i’ll Die”
“this has to be symmetrical or i will gouge my eyes out because it feels BAD”
the exhaustion that sometimes follows talking about a special interest
getting overwhelmed talking about/interacting with your special interest
“what emotion is this?”
“this is the only song i can listen to and it brings me a genuine feeling of relief/release to hear it. i must loop it over and over until i suddenly hate it. i don’t know why.”
randomly finding yourself thinking/talking like a robot and having to consciously switch on emotions/empathy
or the other way around, if you get overwhelmed
“loud noises are fucking terrifying and i will cry if i get caught off guard by one”
“someone i don’t like/trust/know touched this thing and now i can’t until it’s been washed”
p a i n
where is the pain coming from? idk.
what’s itching??? where is that???
“wow that hurt! okay, i gotta do it again”
feel free to add on!!
I just saw your post, if you’re still doing stimboards could you do one for dragonkin?
dragonkin stimboard!! i had a lot of fun with this one, i really hope you like it ^_^
I noticed your profile picture is beach bear So Cool.. 😇🪽 it's cool to see another someone in the other kin community that's a rock afire fan (or someone who atleast likes the characters! ❤️🪽)
(i'm a little shy to send any asks but i need to get over my fear eventually So I'm sorry if this is random or worded a little weirdly ! 😢🪽 )
Oh don’t be shy! I used to be really obsessed with rockafire and animatronics in general, so beach bear has stuck as my pfp :]
