Curate, connect, and discover
Incomplete list of birds I’m kinsidering (scientific names cause i can’t be bothered to look up the english names, but theres pictures)
(Putting it under a cut because of the pictures)
Strix nebulosa (for my avian (hybrid) kintype, cause the wing pattern just feels right)
Falco tinnunculus
Melopsittacus undulatus
some kind of pigeon? Theres so many, but they do kinda feel like me so. I’ll have to go through a list to see if i can narrow it down at all. (Picture of Columba livia)
… minecraft parrot? Maybe? (No scientific name for this one….)
I have a blanket folded in half draped over my shoulders and arms and am wearing a long skirt. Lots of species euphoria. you may imagine me something like this:
i have spent the last two days rotting away in my room, just watching youtube and i need to force myself to leave the house tomorrow so. I‘m going on a walk tomorrow.
(Hope that announcing it „publicly“ will kinda help with motivation. In theory it should, we‘ll see)
made some paper claws today, absolutely love it. Theyre the correct size and everything. They are a bit stiff and fall off quite easily, but they were only ever meant to be temporary anyway. Got really strong phantom claws now, even though i took them off and am currently in my nest. Very lovely, overall :3
more birdsy stuff;
so i’m definitely an avian hybrid thingy (you know, bird legs, wings, feathers and tail but still humanoid) but i might also be a bird therian? like i can very much see myself as a bird, especially falcons or similar birds and parakeets or similar birds, so maybe something like a cladotherian bird? Idk
got a new blanket for my nest yesterday, my cat loves it as much as i do <3
no wings, no claws, no feathers, legs the wrong shape, too big, too small, no fins, can’t hold my breath, no whiskers, body too stiff, no tail, no fangs, no cat ears, no fur, can’t even sleep on my stomach cause my ribs fucking hurt
i have one hoodie that makes me really species-euphoric simply because it reminds me of a character that is commonly drawn as an avian
Tangible wings would solve so many of my problems
You can call me Cosmo, I use any pronouns.
my ask box is open and anyone is welcome to use it, i would love getting to know some other alter-/nonhumans!
(This is a sideblog, so I‘ll like and follow from a different one) 🪶
I am currently still a minor, so just. please don’t be weird. Absolutely nothing nsfw please, i don’t like it.
I’m a bird (multiple, not sure) and orca therian, also avian (“fictional” species) alterhuman, as well as cat hearted. 🐈
tags I’ll use: #cosmo chirps - avian/bird stuff #cosmo purrs - cat stuff #cosmo clicks - orca stuff
(I’ll edit this post when necessary)
doodle of avian me:
love sitting with my back to the heater, really helps me feel my wings and alleviate the uncomfy feeling of phantom wings
so i recently found out / realised that i’m also a bird or something? Not quite sure yet what, but i’m trying to figure it out rn. The first thing that made me realise was that i randomly had phantom wings, completely unprompted. anyway, so far into today i’ve been phantom shifted basically the entire time and here are some things i’ve noticed.
first, when i close my eyes my "arms" become my wings and i’m just like a normal bird. When i open them my wings are attached to my back and i’m generally more like the typical avian-hybrid humanoid.
My feathers are brown with some pattern but i cant exactly pinpoint what pattern.
also, i can look into the mirror shifted without feeling really uncomfortable / disphoric and i can almost see my wings. Like, not actually but i know exactly where they should be in my mirror image and it doesnt make me feel weird.
and i dont like being touched on my back. It just feels very wrong.
i’m still pretty new to phantom shifts and everything cause i only really accepted and started embracing me being not being human like two or so months ago (even though i knew for far longer) so all of this is still mostly very exciting.
