Oh fuck I haven't been posting my 30 days challenge... I'LL GET BACK TO IT SOON I PROMMY
ME
tragic! trans person no longer merely tolerating the act of existing just now realising their entire wardrobe is ass
The strong desire to fly above the trees in the middle of the night, wind stirring the thick fur that keeps me warm. A gap parting the trees for a river flowing away from a basin at the foot of a waterfall. Thirsty, I dive down, and before I hit water, I transform from a winged wolf into a water dragon. From beneath the water I swim to the waterfall and surface. I relish the way the water falls onto my scales. The underwater currents swirling around my body. The water from the waterfall is cool, crisp, and tastes so refreshing, befitting the thirst of a creature as majestic as I.
So I tilt my head up to drink from the falls, open my mouth, and GAWSGAHRWGLRASGH that yummy wator.
Well shit I guess I'm transpecies, by this definition. Like, the whole idea of pursuing different life paths that line up with your species. I'd like to actually get in shape so I can at least have some semblance of the strength I'd have as a dragon. Can't exactly teach yourself to blast gigantic beams of ice from your throat but. You can learn to build muscle.
I dunno if id do bio-hacking but some scale tattoos would be nice
Also I'm letting my nails grow out so I have dragon claws muahaha I am a danger to society >:D
Re- your question about trans-species.
I obviously can't make a lot of physical changes as I would like to, and I think people get hung up on "surgery" when there isn't much that can currently be done. for me, being trans-species is more about making paradigm changes and pursuing certain life paths/not hiding aspects of non humanity. I'm an alien and basically I'd say my "transition" was about recognizing that aspects of my life are so terribly distressing to me because I'm just not human and then making a choice to change those things to suit being an alien. It felt like getting more serious about actually accommodating being non human.
An example- I don't have a normal circadian rhythm anymore, I hacked it over time by not forcing myself to stay in bed when I inevitably wake at 3 am. I support this with naps when I need them but my kin dysphoria lessened when I saw aspects of human living as societally constructed. It's controversial, which is why I'm on anon, but trans-species can mean a lot of things, but it for me is about making the choice to allow aspects of your kin self to be more physical or be more visible. be that body mods or some other kind of bio hacking.
Some of this, yes, is not good for the body. Like toe-walking for the feeling of digi legs for example. I make sure to stretch after spending time doing something like that. It's all a risk assessment kind of thing.
It's just people think it's about physical ears and tails but it can be about lots of aspects of one's lifestyle.
this answer was actually so fucking perfect, thank you so much, im so sorry it took me so long to respond, i had no idea what to say
i had been ever so slightly questioning if i was perhaps trans-species when id posted my question, thanks to all the answers i got ive come to the conclusion that im not as i dont have the desire to transition into my species. i already am my species :)
thank you, my fantastic alien anon, and thank you to everyone else who responded to my post for all your great answers, and please, by all means, keep sending me stuff!! i wanna learn about yall, ur so cool :)))
Challenge Rules
I messed up with the first 2 days cuz I'm new to tumblr and brain no worky. So I'm just making my own post for my first few responses now! Also yeah I did days 1 and 2 together cuz I just got excited.
As an ice dragon.... Probably permafrost?? But I would never actually seek it out as a meal or anything obviously
Alternatively, glacial sediment. Or sand/mud from lakebeds/riverbeds/seafloors. I could see those getting in my mouth when I eat, as I'm partially aquatic and most of my hunting takes place underwater.
I would prefer not to eat dirt tho thankyou
Cold! As an aquatic ice dragon, that's literally my habitat! Either oceans or lakes.
Some kinda fish pie!!! My diet would consist of mainly fish or other aquatic life. Raw and cold, too. So! The 3 ingredients:
- Seaweed Pie Crust
- Any kind of raw fish as filling
- Caviar topping
------ Served Cold like a cheesecake, perhaps even frozen
Hungry just thinking about it... But it's definitely the kind of thing I will never eat IRL. This body's human instincts are saying "that's disgusting!" but my dragon instincts are saying this sounds fucking DELICIOUS.
This is the most relatable image ever. I've been blessed with the ability to feel my wings at all times but oh my GOD they make it hard to sleep. After sleeping on my back for my whole life it is bizarre to adjust to the feeling of crushing your wings when you lay down
Phantom limbs.

Wake up. Stretch ur wings and spine. Curl into your hoard pile and make loud growly yawning noises. Stay up for hours with your humans and then go back to sleep. Dragon life as of late. I feel good about myself.
Just come to my ask box and tell me stuff about yourself. Your pets. Your favorite music. What you had for breakfast this morning. Literally anything you want, I love making new friends
