I Decided To Try And Make Some Userboxes Myself For Us.

Yeah, for some, it's harder to accept their identity and shit, but for some alterhumans and nonhumans (including therians) it is voluntary and/or easier to accept their identity.

Let's not exclude them (not saying you were but mostly talking about in general, this post is just the best time and place to really say it).

Voluntary identities for alterhumans and nonhumans are just as valid as involuntary identities just as a reminder for everyone.

I find the "all therians chose" antis funny.

I used to be one of you.

Trust me I wished everything but to be that way lmao.

It wasn't a process of waking up and going "therians aren't weird anymore, I pick fox!"

It was a process of heavy denial and slowly accepting my identity despite what I used to believe in.

Tw: sexual assault mentioned, and trauma/ptsd. All from past lifes and not explicit.

Talking about this once again, mainly cause I want to mention that it's from both of my "kin" lifes [Zuki and Cyan]. And it was likely more than once in both.

It sucks having to deal with the trauma even when in this body/life I/we have never experienced anything like that.

Anyway, just wanted to slightly vent again.

Tw: sexual assault mentioned, trauma/ptsd, I think that's it? All of this is pretty much just past life, and it's not explicit, just mentioned by name.

Anyone else who experienced trauma in a past life that they haven't experienced in your current life, how do you deal with it?

I haven't ever been SAed in this life but I am pretty sure that I was at least once in a past life [maybe multiple past lifes, Zuki is the one that I am meaning rn]. And I have no real idea of how to go about dealing with this.

I feel shitty cause, like I've said, I have never been through that in this life, but it still affects me about as much as if I had. And I don't really know how to talk about this shit with people cause idk how they would react, even those that support and love me as I am [alterhuman/nonhuman stuff included] but having trauma from my past life that I haven't experienced here is kinda different.

Idk, I just want to know if anyone has any advice or anything for this situation.

Sorry for this type of post, I try not to bring too much stuff like this into my account, but I feel like I need to. I'll try and keep my posts more light-hearted or, at least of course, give trigger warnings or content warnings when they're not light-hearted.

SAYING "HUMAN" TAKES AWAY FROM WHAT THIS IS SUPPOSED TO MEAN

There are plenty of beings that are not human or not fully human or not human "in the right way" (all of these fit under alterhuman) and they are not less than or bad for not being human. We are not human.

STOP USING HUMAN AND SIMILAR WORDS LIKE THIS PLEASE

(We are probably gonna end up deleting this reblog and just blocking this blog/account cause we don't want to deal with those who use human like this)

Lots of thoughts recently. Everything feels plastic.

I could go on and on about why all that AI "art" is bad. I could mention theft, lack of creativity, it's impact on the work field and environment, but countless people have already said all that. I wanted to touch on something that to me is the most utterly wrong about all of it.

Art is more than just something pretty to look at or listen to. It's therapeutic. It's a form of communication. A tool for human connection. It's a pure, human need.

Support real artists ☀️

Do any other werecreatures/werebeings feel effects from the full moon before the full moon actually is?

Like the proper full moon is supposed to be tomorrow but we have been feeling very were like for a few days.

Tw/cw: suicide, all caps in parts of our post

Ok, this is a great post, love it, thank you.

BUT PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING; TAG OR ADD THE TRIGGER WARNING FOR SUICIDE!! SOME BEINGS NEED TO BE ABLE TO FILTER POSTS WITH THAT OUT SO PLEASE ACTUALLY FUCKING TAG IT!!

As I said, it's a great post, and we love it, but still, tags of this kind are very important, so please tag any trigger warnings, especially suicide.

- Shay (They/it)

queer people of all kinds. i am looking you in the eyes. do not fucking kill yourself. are you listening to me it will be okay. it will get better. i am shaking you by the shoulders do. not. fucking. do. it. you have so much to keep going for and so many people who love you. the cost of the present will not outweigh the life ahead of you. i love you. chin up or down keep walking you'll get there. we will pull you back up onto your feet should you fall. i love you

We've seen a few beings doing this so we want to join in.

Our species transition goals (+ some gender and plural things):

Get moveable ears and tail and get to wear them (almost if not) all the time [we currently have a normal fake fur tail that we wear almost all the time]

Get paw prints tattooed on our paws

Get some wings tattooed on our back

Also, get moveable wings to wear when we want/need to

Go on T (this goes with us being bodily transmasc as well)

Look into other types of gear for me and my packmates

Get to change our legal name (this is more for gender and plural reasons, though)

Get permanent fangs

Get top surgery (also for gender reasons)

Look into even more ways to transition more

If anyone has any more tips or ideas for us, feel free to share them!! Also, feel free to reblog this post if you want to make your own version of this!

For the tips/ideas, we are gonna mention the species we have in our pack (the term we use instead of system).

We have canines, felines, dragons, a tiefling, a fallen angel (that is very canine and feline like), and two creatures/beings that we aren't sure what exactly they are.

What sorts of dynamics exist within your system?

How do sub packs affect said dynamics?

And who the hell is Okami🌔?

-Icky🤍

Not sure how to answer your first two questions, lol.

Okami is an MHA/BNHA fictive. They are my (Zuki's) cousin. We haven't really talked about them much and they haven't talked outside of our pack much if at all, lol.

- ShaySubpack 🐾 more specifically Zuki 🪶

Well, we have Okami and Zuki who are cousins in their source, lol.

We also have what seems like 2 Phalens and we aren't quite sure what exactly is up with them, lol. (If you want to learn more about either of them, just send an ask about them).

Honestly, our brain isn't wanting to work rn, lol. So this seems to be all that we can say rn. We might reblog again if we think of more, lol.

Same here!!

If people are respectful and shit, they are more than welcome on our account/blog!

putting this out there preemptively, my account is for sure a safe place for any alterhumans coming over from tiktok.

Tw/cw: dissociating, suicide mention, distressing stuff(?), election and politics.

Ok, for a bit, we are gonna have to just fully avoid any posts to do with the election and politics, so any of my mutuals, please tag any posts you make about these with the tags for them, please. So we can properly avoid them.

Need to take a break from it cause it is causing too much distress and shit.

I (the host) can feel myself dissociating [not necessarily to do with system/plural shit] and just we need to stop looking at it for now.

Also, please, any of my mutuals, tag if you mention suicide or killing yourself (either kms or kys versions), please. Cause we can't always deal with that, so we need to be able to avoid those posts when needed.

Basically, just please tag your posts properly, especially for trigger or content warnings, please.

The best thing would probably to be getting off of the internet/social media fully for a bit, but we can't really do that fully. Won't explain anymore than that.
