Wondering if other fae (or fae adjacent) can relate to this notion: we don’t seem to be social creatures. Maybe this has more to do with my particular clade, but from what I’ve observed and heard us fae don’t seem to be terribly social.

I have one companion who I seriously talk to and many more friends (I suppose they would be called) who I interact with by observing. I engage with people, but it’s always through this veil of humanity. I never interact as my real self. And I don’t really feel the need to.

I have a theory that changelings don’t require the companionship of humans since we’re something else, but that we might enjoy it since we have to blend in to some extent. However I only have my own experience to go off of, so I can’t ever be certain that this applies to others.

I’m not sure if this is purely due to the fact that I’m a changeling or if other types of fae experience this or if it’s simply my personality. Regardless of the reason, I am quite content alone. I enjoy being around people and observing as a way of entertaining myself, but I don’t seem to have the same social needs as the humans I’m surrounded by.

All would be well in the world if I just had my tail…

🔥WET BEAST WEDNESDAY 🔥

Yo creatures out there, just told my therapist about my nonhumanity and she was super supportive and understanding!! I never thought I would tell her, but it went way better than I could have expected :D

Does anyone else (particularly endels) have an issue taking care of themself sometimes due to species dysphoria? I am a divine creature and this body is just a shell I’m living in. It’s difficult for me to take care of myself currently since it directly clashes with who I feel my real self is. It feels like pretending to be human brings me farther from my true self/form. I outwardly play the part of human for the sake of the people around me, but I don’t know…sometimes I get tired <_>

shoutouts to fellow nonhumans whose nonhumanity orginates from or is caused by mental illness, delusions, or past/current trauma

we are as valid as any other nonhuman and i am proud of y'all for having the courage to share your experiences. it makes me feel a lot less alone to know that others feel the same as me.

keep being awesome and stay safe 🐾

(i apologize if this isn't worded right, very bad brain fog day but this has been on my mind so I wanted to say it)

Creatures who have told their IRLs your nonhuman identity: how did it go? I’m currently considering telling my partner, but I’m just curious about other’s experiences!

(We have a really good relationship and I’ve already explained that I’m more of a snake than a human, but I want to tell her more about the alterhuman community in general.)

me when the species dysphoria starts species dysphoria-ing

(WHERE ARE MY WINGS. WHERE ARE MY CLAWS.)

Anyone else get so much species euphoria from being called a dog even though they aren’t one?? I think being acknowledged as any creature just makes me so happy =3

As someone with really terrible memory I totally relate!! It’s okay that you don’t remember when you awakened, you’re not alone <3

I can't remember my awakening :(

The problem with having dissociative amnesia and be in the non human community is that I see all of these other beings saying, like, "I awakened in 20xx"

and I'm like I- I don't remember. I cannot remember . And then I don't feel valid, and I know it's stupid, but.

*explodes :(*

Like, idk if anyone can relate, but I don't even remember when I discovered what being non human/therian meant!!

Sometimes I feel like I just spawned here and it sucks!! I can't remember anything about me or my past.

...Anyway *eats little snack

(idk, I hope at least one of y'all can feel a bit less alone bc I wrote this)

friendly reminder:

YOU ARE VALID!

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

hi, at what part of puberty do i get my divine glowing light? what's that you say? never? fascinating, thanks! *starts mauling people*

Realized I could make my own little moodboards today and got pretty excited :]

sometimes all u need is to play nature sounds and lay down on the floor in a ball

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

oh to be a little guy buried in leaves…

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! :)

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?

trapped in this body

Snake Therian Culture is mourning the fact I can't dangle freely in branches

oh how relaxing that would be, basking in the sun!
