guys i was looking at old alterhuman websites and found one from 2002 talking about physical shifting and i think i understand now

is this what yall p shifters feel is acurrate to u

you don’t need 60 mini spell jars from etsy. you need FRESH AIR and THE SUN. ppl stop feeding witch overconsumption to baby witches and claiming they ‘NEED’ something for their practice. it’s ridiculous.

i’m currently working on a large post for free / extremely cheap witchcraft tips because this drives me up the wall.

Hello again! :) I had another question if you don’t mind!

Is it true that our hair color matches fur? Like dark hair = dark fur? Light hair = light fur?

Thanks!!

hello, it's not a problem at all!

I'm not 100% on hair color matching fur color, but it would make sense. I've heard it depends on your DNA, since if you're a shifter with unique pigment genetics (dragon shifters for example. I've heard that they come in all sorts of colors and aren't limited to "natural" colors) your fur/scales/feathers etc would match whatever's been passed down to you through genetics/DNA.

ways i’ve been satisfying vampirism because i don’t really shift into it, im always and have always been a vampire. this helps me when i get cravings i can’t satisfy in a traditional vampire practice. also things that i think validate my vampirism

- eat red meats medium rare or rare, it sounds scary to some and as someone with autism it was a huge fear food for a long time but 1) quality steak and meat is ruined by cooking it well done. a less cooked state results in a bolder flavor, and soft melt in your mouth texture. learning to cook a good steak pays off dividends for any carnivore type imo. 2) the visual of blood on my plate satisfies me

- i have always struggled badly with anemia. my body desperately needs more iron, more red blood

- fangs, i have regular ones and decorative ones. i currently have a set of gold ones but im saving for silver as those are the most gender euphoric for me. i don’t like the vampire piercings they just don’t look cute to me and i don’t think it would help my dysphoria

- eating salty deli meats like salami (not hard salami) something like genova salami. i like mine peppered with the little bits of fat on it. chewing on it and biting it, tearing it apart with my hands and teeth.

- i do my own acrylic dip powder nails in a faded natural french ombré, then buff them to make them matte. it gives a natural vampire monster claw look, i do them on the shorter side and in an almond-stiletto shape. i can do a tutorial at some point if anyone is interested.

just some fun things that have helped me from your local vampire prince. enjoy. 🥩🩸📿⚰️

Jfc let me touch this before some weird conspiracy theory pops up

On the whole debacle, since it's revving up-

• Silvër and her pack (what everyone is calling "the p-shifters of 2020") are not All P-shifters Ever, and were disliked by other members of the community. She deleted and remade because other shifters were getting on her case, and eventually went silent because she was unable to handle the pressure. Her pack has never been "every p-shifter", nor does every shifter agree with her opinions.

- Additionally, most shifters don't approve of abusers or cultists in the community. It's why Silvër was ran out of it, along with other abusers. It's why when dodgy people appear shifters tend to avoid them or disperse elsewhere, and why shifters do warn others about cults and unhealthy groups.

• "P-shifting has never been used in a derogatory sense": It is literally considered a trait of "fake therians" in some spaces. It is not a positive thing in the therian and otherkin community to be a p-shifter. People get banned for claims of p-shifting. People literally refused to interact with Xem directly because the post was made by a p-shifter. This is the definition of derogatory.

• Reclaiming a term: if by "reclaiming" you mean "using it in a way that isn't abusive" then actually yeah, I don't have an issue with that. Which is what I've seen most who want to reclaim the term want to do so for. Like, p-shifting doesn't inherently equal abuser - there's multiple groups who have used the term without forming unhealthy groups or packs, so it's not inherent to p-shifting as a concept. (See the Were vs. Therian debate and Social Media Sites part of The Shifter Timeline.)

• I thought p-shifters weren't delusional! You're changing your tune!": I can't speak for Silvër and her pack's views, but I still don't believe all shifters are delusional. While the definition of clinical lycanthropy necessitates delusions, a p-shifter is ANYBODY who claims to physically shift. P-shifters can't ALL be delusional because there's a wide variety of reasons why someone (even incorrectly!) might consider themselves a shifter. I've written about it before. I personally don't have a problem with delusional or schizospec people considering themselves p-shifters as long as other shifters aren't pushed out of the community, something I mentioned when I said, "as long as other shifters aren't defined out."

▪︎The claim that "P-shifters are purposefully targeting endels and delusional people": How? The shifters here (excluding Silvër and her defunct group) are not a pack. There's no concerted hivemind or effort to do anything, most of us are quite scattered honestly. As far as I'm aware most of us either post in our own tags, have warnings for delusional and clinical folk, or block them. This also goes both ways, so delusional folk can (and do!) also block us if they see something they cannot handle.

If we wanted to target endels, wouldn't we be posting in their tags? Wouldn't we be privately contacting endels with sensitive materials? Wouldn't we be making a concerted effort to make their lives miserable? And for what - an acutely psychotic person is uncontrollable (from what I know) so making them suffer in that fashion would only appeal to a sadistic abuser. Yet this is online, meaning that anybody trying to abuse others in that fashion would not even get to see that. How does that benefit anybody?

Those using the p-shifter label currently seem to be doing so because they're uncomfortable with the label of "clinical" or implying that their shifting is in any way false. Which tbh is fair, and since I do feel they have grounds to the label (it's not like they weren't already considered p-shifters by the community in some instances) I'm not bothered by them "reclaiming it". That's my reasoning, anyway.

When I say "connect with nature" I don't just mean the aesthetic forests with deer and beautiful flowers.

I mean the weeds growing through concrete, the fungus that grows on the rotten shed, the nettles that always seem to return and the scary, spindly cellar spider in the corner of the bathroom.

Nature is not always pretty or magical - the pigeons and seagulls you swat at are nature too, the wasps and flies that hover by your meals are animals too, store-bought strawberries and the leaves that fall from your neighbour's tree are not all that different from the Giant Sequoias and it's seeds.

If you want to connect and understand nature, I mean *really* connect to it, in it's entirety, you have to seek out and learn about the ugly, scary and mundane things as well. You don't have to like it, just don't forget that it's there.

Connecting with nature

Mindful walks Mindful walks isn't about just going for a walk or how often. It is about listening to nature, observe nature, stop, sit down, meditate, look at natures details in plants and rocks and landscape. The more you look the more you find. Nature is amazing that way.

Mindful shopping Yes, mindful shopping. Do you really need it? Is it organic? Is it a brand that tests on animals? Do the brand produce somewhat ethically? (I'm aware most brands are super unethical in all ways, but try find some you can afford that are the least harmful on nature)

Ground in nature Hug a tree, sit on a rock, feel the sun in your face, let the water wash over your feet or hands. Something about being in nature in general and interacting with nature feels refreshing and grounding. Ever tried to say hi to a tree? Hold one of it's branches and bow/curtsy to greet them? Give it a try if you haven't!

Research Research plants and insects around you, learn to identify them and which ones toxic. Research how to forage ethically and thank nature for every harvest.

Garden If you have a garden you can use that to know natures energies, plant some plants you like. Bonus point if they're bee-friendly! As humans it might be a normal thing to dislike insects, but it's so important for our nature. Set up insect hotels, insect friendly drinking station and other (cute) nature friendly decor!

Pick up trash Yes, it is a very boring job. But the nature needs us to do it, and we can't always think "someone else will do it". It's a PERFECT way to honor the nature. Be the one person that matters. Remember to always bring a trash bag and a couple of gloves for the job.

We've been seeing a lot of beings in the community being ridiculous about physical and biological nonhumanity so here's this for yall.

(Everything stated here is based off of what we've seen/read and experienced ourself. We're not trying to "indoctrinate" anybody.)

-Physical nonhumans who are physically nonhuman metaphorically (this is my body, I am this, therefore my body is this) are valid.

-Physical nonhumans who are physically nonhuman literally are valid.

-Physical nonhumans who are physically *and* biologically nonhuman are valid.

-Physical nonhumans who experience delusions regarding their nonhumanity are valid.

-Physical nonhumans who are literally physically and/or biologically nonhuman who don't believe themselves to be delusional are valid. (me btw)

-Physical nonhumans who are literally physically and/or biologically nonhuman who don't believe themselves to be delusional even after being diagnosed are valid.

-Physical nonhumans who experience delusions regarding their nonhumanity AND who don't want/have the energy (or for whatever reason) to double bookkeep when talking about those experiences are valid.

-And any other physical and/or biological nonhuman experiences I missed (sorry /gen) YOU ARE VALID.

-Physical and biological nonhumanity in any way or form is valid.
