I am a whisper on the edge of a breath.
I move through silence, unseen,
a presence that alters reality,
but I do not touch it.
I am an echo of something forgotten,
a shape that does not belong,
but is felt in the space between moments.
No name holds me, not even my own,
And no body can claim the weight of my existence.
I am here in a home that's not mine,
the thread that never unravels,
the vision that never becomes clear.
I was once all that is pure,
just a presence that swam through the gaps in silence.
I existed before time,
before earth learned to breathe.
I was everywhere and nowhere
a pulse that only the stars knew,
a flicker in the vast, untouched void.
But now, I walk the ground.
I have feet, and they stir dust,
I feel the thrum of the world in my bones.
It is foreign, this heaviness.
I was light once;
before I learned to bend to the rules of flesh.
Now, I carry this body with all its quiet burdens.
I remember the skies,
the endless stretch of air where I was not bound.
I remember the stillness,
the peace that hummed through me like a song without words.
I was a soft, radiant being
but now,
I am here,
trapped in this skin,
trying to find my way back.
There is no longer a place for wings,
and no song to sing
But Its voice still guides me wordlessly.
The memory lingers
faint, but constant;
heavy, but ephimeral.
I remember what it felt like to be untethered,
to hover just above,
to see through time and thought,
to know without knowing.
Now, I walk among the living,
a shadow among shadows,
only sometimes - when the world holds its breath, when the light bends just so,
I feel the weightlessness again,
a brief, fragile return to what was.
This vessel of mine - it is merely there
To remember
And to reminisce.
But I wonder
how many of us are here,
hidden in bodies,
walking the earth,
searching for the skies.

To the animals, the wolves, the lions, the foxes and cats and birds: Your eyes shine so brightly. Your fur is luscious, your feathers luxurious, your teeth furious and beautiful. Your claws are sharper than you think. One day, you will get them back. One day, you will be helpless, human, no more.
To the fairies, the angels, the aliens, the demons, the mermaids and sirens, the divine: Even here you are powerful. Even here you are divine and beautiful. Your wings are gorgeous, your horns and haloes majestic, your tails ethereal. Home will welcome you, welcome us all, with open arms one day.
To my fellow dolls, the marionettes, the puppets, the toys and ball-jointed: We may be delicate, but our subtle power defines us. We bend and move and dance in ways no human ever could. One day, our everlasting regality will return to us.
To the voids, the glitches, the abstract, the eldritch, the robots, the objectheads: Do with this brief moment of flesh what you will. You know who you really are inside, and that’s all that matters. Your soul still bleeds the color of the stars.
To the monsters, the zombies, the cryptids, the vampires, the werewolves and ghosts: The world will always fear that which it does not understand. We understand each other, and through this we have made our own world. We create our reality, and that’s what’s important.
To the therians, the otherkin, the fictionkin, voidpunks, and all other nonhumans: We are strong. We know who and what we are. We know what this flesh conceals. One day, the world will see us for who we are and accept us as her children all the same. For now, we persevere.
"nobody will accept me": a diagram
you dont have to be the "acceptable" kind of otherkin. like, seriously. don't try to be something you're not just because you think you'll become more "acceptable" to the people who unfortunately just dont accept anyone who's a single inch out of their expected portrayal of the average "normal" person.
go be a creature. please.
Crazy how I'm meant to protect all kinds of creatures and that's probably the reason why I was sent to Earth in the first place, yet humans would label it all as a savior complex
Rainy days = species dysphoria = sadness = today was a horrible day
Getting signs and responses from my Gods is the best feeling
HI IM ALSO AN ANGELKIN WHO WAS SENT HERE AT SOME POINT!!! I'm also really homesick a lot honestly, but at least we don't have to go through it completely alone right? Nice to meet you
( @anotherangeltype )
:0 HELLO nice to meet you too !! Yes the homesickness is so bad i liteally had to include it in my username LMAO. And no matter what other angel's (and even fallen angel's) experiences are, it's amazing how this community lets us share experiences and feelings. Tumblr is amazing from this point of view tbh
Asks and reblogs help a lot, imo. We share questions, information and experiences in a very different way since tiktok is a video based app while tumblr is more versatile.. and I guess it is more accepting? Or rather, it's common for a community here to receive less hate than it would on tiktok, where people can't resist the urge to hate on a video instead of scrolling. Not only is it more difficult to control the content that appears on your fyp, but tiktok users are also incapable of blocking a hashtag or ignoring the content they dislike so they won't see it anymore.
Generally speaking, alterhuman tiktok videos won't be taken seriously by anyone outside the alterhuman community. And when a non-human makes a video about the topic, 80% of the comments will be from people who think horribly of us. I guess that tumblr is full of scary people whereas tiktok is full of immature idiots. Everything has its flaws, lol
Not going to lie, I feel like the alterhuman/therian community on here is a lot more community based than it is on TikTok. I feel like TikTok, it's a lot more individualistic and individual based, which is fine and dandy but in here, I feel like we are more community based.
I honestly prefer the community centered vibes that Tumblr has over the individualistic vibes that TikTok gives. It makes me feel less alone and it also makes me feel like I don't have to perform my alterhumanity to people to prove myself.
And what if I glued multiple pairs of biggg wings to my wheelchair
