Alterhuman/therian/fictionkin

I genuinely need to know if there’s a transpecies term for fictionkins, cause damn, I godda turn into Shigaraki you guys 💔
Nobody needs this but here’s what level I feel my kins
Wolf dog- spiritually (I feel this identity pretty strongly, having some urges to bark or hunt or howl. It depends on the day cause some days I wouldn’t mind being perceived as one while others I rather not)
Domestic cat- Spiritually (I’m having a pretty strong connection with this identity today, it does switch once in a while. When it comes to urges my dog theriotype would be stronger in that as I don’t get urges for my cat type but I do view myself as one, not fully, instead I’ll view my human body with ears or a tail or other animalistic things)
Shapeshifter- spiritually (I don’t have a very strong connection to this one but it does affect some of my theriotypes or give me certain urges or feelings. I feel as if my body is stuck, like I’m meant to be more and do more than just this. It can also affect my identity and give me feelings of wanting multiple or not wanting one at all)
Shigaraki- Physically (I view my body as my fictionkin. I believe I was him in a past life and therefore we are the same soul, same soul=same body. When I imagine myself I’ll always have similar features as him. I perceive myself as him and also wouldn’t mind being perceived as him)
When it comes to how I view my soul I definitely view each as a different version of myself which is why I may talk about Shigaraki in 3rd person instead of 1st. I experience mental shifts once in awhile, Shigaraki more often but sometimes I get some for my other kins too
Any story that insists that the current status quo is bad and includes a character or group of characters who are the way they are because of the status quo who constantly beg for the status quo to be changed and then die before they get to see the status quo change is a tragedy, regardless of whether the author frames it as one or not.
Trying to do an assignment and my brain decided to start making dog noises. It won’t stop barking
I’m gonna reenact something that happened during the end of class today
Friend: oh my god dude, look
*shows me a sick ass drawing of all might one of the other kids did on the back of a board*
Me: oh that’s so cool-
*activate Shigaraki*
Eugh, what the fuck why is he here?
Sigh Bnha done but I’m still sad we know so much yet so little about the league.
Like what was it like for Dabi when he was on the street? When did the staples first appear? When did he get those piercings?
What about Toga? It’s said she ran away after middle school right? So she’s been homeless since middle school? It’s also mentioned that she’s “the eldest daughter of the toga family.” How big was her family? What were their quirks? Quirks are usually genetic, right? What does mean for Toga? Is she also considered a mutation?
Tomura’s life between those fifteen years is pretty much a mystery. How did All For One “raise” him? When did he meet Kurogiri? He was prone to temper tantrums and behaving like a child at the start, how bad did they mess this kid up during those years to keep him like this? What started his habit of using video game terms in real life? Did he ever go to the dentist or was Ujiko pretty much his personal doctor?
We know Compress had a Robin Hood lineage but what about his personal life? What about Magne and her experience with transitioning? What other qualities of Shirakumo was present in Kurogiri when raising Tomura? Spinner? Twice?
🫵ignore if any of these questions were answered already and my memory is just bad. But anyways, at least more hc space right?
Physical Therians exist and are a part of our community.
Therians who are unaware of their humanity exist and are part of our community
Therians with disabilities exist and are a part of our community
Therianthropy is not voluntary, it is not about gear, it is not something you choose to participate in or leave (although you do not have to interact with the community)
There is a wide spectrum of Therians out there; discrediting any of them is extremely rude. Therians are Therians as long as they understand what that label is and identify with it.
Stop saying therianthropy is strictly spiritual/past lives, that it is strictly non-physical, or that all therians are aware of their humanity (esp. if you say it's at all times)
As a creature who's alterhumanity is less "i am literally X" and more "I am mostly human but i have huge disconnect between my internal and external self and my internal self isn't strictly human / i know i'm human but because of my neurodivergence i relate more to X than other humans and therefore label myself as X in order to explain how i feel internally"
I would like to say:
Those of you who literally are your 'types, and who fully identify as such because you are indeed that being locked in a "human" flesh suit, and also those of you who feel your current physical form is not human at all, you're absolutely awesome.
Physical alterhumans and others who have different and even opposite experiences to mine are COOL and AWESOME and just because my experience is more often talked about than yours doesn't mean its the "norm" or "correct" way to be alterhuman.
Anyway, this is to say that anyone who is alterhuman is cool and great and your experience is a valid use of the term alterhuman no matter what. Shout out to alterhumans/nonhumans/etc.
Happy birthday Tomura!!! In my mind you’re still alive and kicking 🤧
he's so bf
Their death has always felt like it ruined the story in some way. A story about saving people and hero society being corrupt only for said victims to die in the end? I can’t make sense of it
people say shigaraki is responsible for the deaths he caused, and while i don’t completely deny that, it’s way more complicated than just “free will.” what people miss is that he was groomed from the age of five, when he was at his most vulnerable until he finally broke free from afo’s grasp. afo deliberately took him in at a point where he was completely dependent on others for guidance, then shaped him into the perfect successor.
to shigaraki, his master wasn’t just a villain, he was his savior, the only one who “understood” him, the only one who gave him a sense of purpose after the world abandoned him. and that’s exactly how manipulation works. afo didn’t just take him in, he rewired his entire mind, fed him lies, reinforced his hatred, and conditioned him to believe that destruction was his only salvation. shigaraki never had a chance to form his own worldview because afo made sure to mold it for him.
look at shigaraki’s reaction when he was separated from afo, it wasn’t just anger, it was pure desperation. that’s the reaction of someone who has been so deeply conditioned that he doesn’t know how to function outside of his abuser’s influence. shigaraki was entirely dependent on afo, and when you’re raised under constant manipulation, you don’t suddenly “wake up” and realize you’ve been controlled your whole life.
it doesn’t work that way. when he saw all might trying to save bakugo while attacking the league, he felt betrayed by the world all over again. to him, it was proof that heroes will never save people like him. but that idea wasn’t his, it was something afo planted in his mind for years, reinforcing it over and over until shigaraki believed it as an absolute truth. so when afo was no longer there, what was left? nothing but the doctrine his master forced onto him. if he wasn’t groomed, if he wasn’t brainwashed into thinking destruction was his only option, then he would have taken another path. but that was never an option for him because he never had the freedom to choose in the first place. as afo himself admitted, shigaraki never had free will. none of his choices were ever his own.
compare this to dabi and toga. they were abused, but they never had an outside force controlling them like afo did with shigaraki. they became villains on their own terms, dabi out of revenge, toga out of rejection from society. but shigaraki? his entire ideology was forced onto him. if afo had gotten to shoto instead, then shoto would have ended up just like shigaraki.
and here’s the worst part; nobody in the story even questions it. if horikoshi wanted us to humanize the villains, then he should have given them a humanizing death, something that forced people to acknowledge what they went through and how they ended up like this. but instead, nobody even stops to ask why afo had to groom a child into being his successor. nobody wonders why japan’s greatest villain was so reliant on manipulating a mentally ill, traumatized young man into doing his bidding. they just see shigaraki as a monster.
shigaraki never had a choice, but the world acts like he did.
LISTEN UP, CHUCKLENUTS.
No identity should be kicked out or "exodus'ed" from the community.
"B-but, but they make us look-" nope. No. No. Stop it. Be better. Divided we fucking fall.
P-Shifters, CLCZs, physical nonhumans of all kinds belong. And if you think the solution to an identity you don't understand is to exile them?
You never understood the point of the alterhuman and nonhuman communities in the first place.
Does anyone else feel like TikTok is constantly changing things and making problems?
Like TikTok waters down things so badly. I’ve seen the zoophile and mental illness finger pointed so much on that app, and the terms aren’t even being used correctly! No, that person isn’t a zoo cause they use fantasy toys. No, that therian isn’t a clinical lycanthrope. No, BPD isn’t just mood swings and being abusive.
I know you can still find things like this on other platforms but it feels like TikTok is just overrun by it?

Fuck yes I’m a domestic cat
FUCK YEA IM A WOLF DOG
Fuck ya I’m a shapeshifter

You guys do realize that literally all you have to do to be considered (xyz)kin is identify as it
No deep spiritual meaning needed
Like
Think of something you're kinsidering
Can you say wholeheartedly " I am (xyz)"
For example, fuck yes I can say I am a ram
Fuck yes I can say I am a goat
Fuck yes I can say I am a dragon
So can you?
Yes? Okay then, you're whatever that kintype is
If the answer is no then consider otherhearted
No extra trouble about it
No deep hidden meanings, no fear, you just are that thing
I want you to ask yourself this question every time you kinsider a type
I recently found out my canine theriotype is actually a wolf dog (probably a Aussie or karst Shepard) and ever since I found out about that I’ve been feeling a lot more animalistic. I’ve had the urge to do quads a lot more, I desperately need hear of my theriotype, I’ve been ah e the urge to bake and howl at the moon a lot more too
I need to do this to my skates
Paw skates!!!!
Steampunk shigaraki has me twirling my hair and kicking my feet because who told him to look so mafia boss.
I don’t have memories of my past but I still sometimes feel like I’m making up for everything I never got a chance to heal from. It doesn’t affect my day to day life but sometimes I feel horrible about it. I’m in a new life, why is this stuff still coming for me 😔
Exotrauma - Trauma stemming from events that did not happen in this reality/universe/to your current physical body.
Exomemories - Memories that did not happen in this reality/universe.
Psuedo-PTSD - A simulated version of PTSD caused by exotrauma.
Just saying, I deserve to look like Shigaraki
Plz, normalize the fact that Shigaraki isn’t afraid to touch his S/O with his bare hands. He’s been living with his quirk since he was five, so it’s like second nature to him. Trust him.
The man know how to touch stuff with hands fr.
call me the three musketeers the way i am otherkin, therian and a furry
