Made Some Nonhuman Related Flag(s).

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.

You can put names and/or emojis [we'd prefer at least names] for who you are asking about (hopefully every being will answer their own questions, lol). Just ask a question and put who you're asking about!

Edit: Also if you don't have specific questions, you can just put who you're asking about and who ever it is will just probably ramble a bit, lol.

Coining post time!!!

Term: Special hyperfixation

Meaning: When something isn't clear between if it's a hyperfixation or a special interest. So it's just called both in an easier way.

Extra: This term is for neurodivergent beings, thought of with AuDHD beings in mind, but if a being genuinely has hyperfixations and special interests, they can use it. This term can be added to similar things as hyperfixation and special interest can. Such as alters/headmates/etc. that hold special hyperfixations just like those that hold special interests and hyperfixations.

So far, there is not a flag or symbol, if any being wants to make one, that is 100% fine.

This term is free to use. Credit is appreciated but not required.

We need to clean a room, do any beings have any tips? (We need tips that keep in mind that our issues are mainly from AuDHD and chronic pain rn).

this isnt a question but a request that you drink some water!

authors note: feel free to reblog! other beings can ask you questions from this list, or you can simply answer them all yourself.

This is (mostly) true.

But also it can be gear. [Also, a reminder, technically, anything can be considered "gear".]

Like we find certain gear to be very species affirming/euphoric, and that doesn't make us any less nonhuman.

Species transition is very personal in a way, just as gender transition is. It's never gonna be a "one size fits all" kinda thing, and that's ok.

Transition how you want to. If that's just gear, that's great! If that's not any "gear," that's great! If it's a mix, that's great! It's your transition. Do what you want (as long as no one gets hurt, please).

- Shay 🐾

just to clarify species transition =/= buy a bunch of stuff off etsy or amazon.

What is meant by "lower" fronting is not the main/primary fronter. Basically, more of a "backseat driver" type of fronting in a way. We just didn't know what to really call it at first.

No real clue on the planning things in the back often.

Maybe? We aren't entirely sure how exactly memory and stuff works with our plurality.

- Shay 🐾

What’s it like when an alter has planned something in the back? Do you just get a fully formed plan popping into your head, or do they talk you through it? Do you just switch?

Hello!!!

Considering I am, as far as we can tell so far, always fronting in some way (sometimes I am just technically "lower" fronting but still fronting). The switch part isn't really true.

It's probably a mixture of the other 2 things, though. Also, sometimes they join front or take over the "main"/primary fronting, and I go into "lower" fronting, but that's not as common.

Usually, when the others join me in front, it's as a secondary (tertiary, etc) fronter rather than the primary fronter.

Hope this answered your question!

- Shay 🐾

Can we ask what technically fits under "niche kin"?

Edit: Cause while most of our (ShaySubpack) identities/kins are kinda common? The way we experience them might not be. And we are wondering if we did this challenge. Would it be taking it away from those it was made for?
