physical nonhumans/therians are those who believe that they are in some way physically an animal. A person may believe their DNA is that of a wolf’s, or that their brain/internal organs are literally that of an otter. They may also believe that under certain circumstances they can physically transform into an animal. often this is related to psychosis/delusions, but it may be due to another reason too.
At least that’s what I understand to the best of my knowledge, if anyone has a better description let me know!
*this is kind of as a coping mechanism for my shitty ass life atm im not just "doing it for fun"
please reblog if you vote
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
MLM? WLW? How about NLN (nonhuman loving nonhuman)
I say that I want to go back and be an animal again, but...I'm not really a spiritual alterhuman.
I say this as if there is some part of my past that I want to revert to and reclaim, but I'm not sure I actually do have a past life or anything like that. It's like a nostalgia for something that never existed.
I LOVE IT
Hello! If you have the time could you make a spring-y copperhead moodboard? Love your blog!
aww thank you!! i saw the picture on the lower left on your blog and i couldnt not use it loll (i love snakes!!)
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
Shoutout to all my pals with unusual kintypes! You are valid and you are not alone no matter how rare you are! Much love <3
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>)
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! :)
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 :]
Wish I could do quads, but alas it is very hard to move like a snake…
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 want my fangs T_T I always lick my teeth and am surprised by how smooth they are
╺⃝⃤ 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.
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.
The way I hear people talking about angels frustrates me so much even though I know it doesn't really matter?? I hate how "angelcore" is all soft pretty white porcelain dolls and has nothing to do with biblical rage of seraphim. I hate how seraphs are called "biblically accurate" when all angels are accurate we're just a different KIND of angel. Does this make sense?? Hello? Is the mic on?
Snake Therian Culture is mourning the fact I can't dangle freely in branches
oh how relaxing that would be, basking in the sun!
schizophrenia is not just experiencing positive symptoms (hallucinations and delusions). a lot of schizophrenics are neurodivergent in other ways. this focus on the positive symptoms is a villainious way to gatekeep us from neurodivergent spaces because our positive symptoms are typically portrayed as "scary".
our negative symptoms (flat effect, being withdrawn, avolition and anhedonia) are skewed to portray us as "evil" because we're not "emotive" or "caring" enough. schizospec disorders make everyday activities so hard. basic hygiene isn't a habit, we have little to no motivation to do basic things, the lack of happiness and pleasure can turn into severe depression for some of us and that's why depressive and bipolar schizoaffectives exist. people don't grasp the fact that schizophrenia is a disability.
i've personally experienced a lot of cruelty from other neurodivergent people because there is little to no education on schizospec disorders even within neurodivergent spaces. we're seen as inherently morally reprehensible for our disorder and people are so casually ableist to us. i'm not able to speak up for myself in these spaces because i feel like there is no where else i can go. neurotypicals are cruel to schizophrenics but so are other neurodivergent people. people need to have more care and love for schizophrenics.
yes that includes schizophrenics with little to no empathy, schizophrenics of color, trans schizophrenics, gay schizophrenics, schizophrenic systems, autistic schizophrenics, schizophrenics with adhd, fat schizophrenics, poor schizophrenics, homeless schizophrenics, schizophrenic sex workers, schizophrenics who've experienced abuse, schizophrenics with ocd, schizophrenics with ptsd/cptsd, schizophrenic children and teens, elderly schizophrenics, schizophrenics who are also physically disabled, all schizophrenics.
all schizophrenics deserve love.
Me infodumping about my hyperfixations to people who know nothing about them
Silvermane is a coat type caused by a dominant gene. It has a silver appearance that is caused by the end of the hair shafts being translucent/empty. Silvermane also causes a dark mask on the muzzle. Babies start out unsilvered but the base color they are, then at anywhere between 12 days - 12 weeks the muzzle will begin to show the telltale sign. They also begin to “silver” out their coat as they age
It was discovered in 2012 by a Rattery in North Carolina named Squeaks and Nibbles Rattery. They were originally named Silvermane by the breeder who discovered them but the AFRMA decided to rename them for their club as D'Argent.
