We get what op means, but still, if beings don't like a term for themself/themselves, leave them be.
We personally don't use therian or otherkin for ourselves, the terms just don't click for us. Like, they technically fit, but we don't like to use them and would prefer others not to use them for us.
We much prefer alterhuman, nonhuman, or just being called our "types/kins."
We don't think we are "better" than those who use those terms. We just don't like the terms for us.
None of this is an "attack" or anything on op, just a little reminder that beings not liking specific terms for themself/themselves doesn't mean that they think that term is "less than".

putting this on main actually;
it annoys me to death when folks say stuff like āiām not a therian, im a [xyz animal]ā
because hey thatās what a therian is!
to say you donāt identify as a therian because you just ARE that animal is to say that therians ARENāT really the animal they claim to be. which is so wrong. to say you donāt like the term therian because itās ātoo humanā is so insensitive.
therians are not necessarily human! someone calling themself a therian in no way makes them human! equating therians with humans is weird!
stop treating us like we are human, stop trying to separate āreally being an animalā from being a therian. they are the same thing. youāre not superior or different to us because you āreally are that animalā. we all are.
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.

Hey random question, does anyone know if there is a word for romantic attraction that's not "sexuality"?
Cause there should be. Cause not everyone's sexual attraction and romantic attraction "line up" (someone could asexual and biromantic, someone could be bisexual and aromantic, etc).

Do any beings have any advice/tips for disabled beings who struggle with motivation and memory? The main things that we know (keyword is know) are relevant here are that we are autistic, ADHD, and have depression.
Also normal reminders on our phone don't tend to work as we just get rid of them when they show up without even looking at what they are for. So way(s) to get around that would also be helpful.
Basically, we are just asking for tips/advice for disabled beings.

Totally agree
But also tagging is very important.
Please, please, please tag your posts if they are nsfw/sexual/etc (and for other things, but this is specifically for this).
Tagging/tags are very important, so please add the appropriate tags to your posts.

Exploring your therian side through kink is valid.
I am so absolutely sick of seeing extremely sex negative discourse within the therian community.
Just gonna say this all outloud for my own sanity:
It's okay to be a therian who is into primal play.
It's okay to be a therian who is in to pet play.
Packers and dildos based on non-human genitalia is affirming gear.
Anal plug tails are affirming gear.
Pup hoods are affirming gear.
Collars, leashes, harnesses, and other restraints are affirming gear.
I don't care how sex adverse an individual is. Your preferences do not get to supercede the completely harmless things that others can do.
Yeah, let's start normalizing this!! [Other nonhumans or alterhumans feel free to add onto this!]
Hello, I'm Shay, and I'm a wolfdog, cat, crow[maybe? I'm starting to question this again], questioning dragon, and uh, I'm also ockin! Also questioning other kintypes but whatever, lol. I almost forgot, I'm also a fallen angel, though that also goes under one of my ockin types, lol.
i wish being nonhuman was normalised. i wish i could go to new people and introduce myself like "hi, im Talon, im a dragon" and they could just say "oh, nice to meet you!" and act, you know, like normal.
sigh...
Whatās 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!

Reblog if you're not human
Us when we've been using these terms already and then find this, lol.
We don't really like using alter/headmate for any of us, and we were talking to one of our friends [who is also plural], and packmate was suggested as an alternative.
So we used packmate instead of alter/headmate and we use pack instead of system (we also use plural/plurality instead of system).
- Shay š¾
Pack / Pack Mate
[PT: Pack / Pack Mate]
Aaa, a system member who prefers Pack/Pack Mate instead of alter/headmate(s); a term for when you use Pack/Pack Mate instead of alter/headmate(s).

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).

Cause no one else will, I am sending in my own ask to myself about memories from my life as Zuki.
This feels very weird but whatever, lol.
Y'know what, I am asking myself to mention what I remember about how I got adopted by Dadzawa and Papamic, lol.
- :3c
Lol, love this memory. This is about what led up to me actually being adopted by them. This happened sometime after moving into the dorms, not long after cause Eri wasn't around yet.
Start of the memory:
Me and Izuku were in either mine or his room, I can't quite remember which one or what exactly we were doing, I think we were just hanging out on our phones.
Anyways, Aizawa walks in to ask us something, I think [I don't remember exactly what he said, lol]. I do remember not looking up and saying something like, "What's up, dad?" Once I processed what I had said, I just went widewide-eyed and stopped doing what I was doing on my phone, and blinked a few times to try and make sense of why and how that came out of my mouth, lol.
He asked me to repeat what I said, but I (almost) didn't want to bc I was slightly embarrassed, lol, but Zuku decides to repeat it for me [thanks annoying little shit], and dad asked me something like "Would you actually want me to be your dad?" And I was like "Yeah I didn't have much of a father figure growing up, and you're a great dad to Shinso."
Dad said something about working on adopting me, and once he left the room, I turned to look at Izuku and asked something like, "Did he just say something about adopting me?" And Izu just nods before going back to what he was doing as I just stare dumbfounded at the wall of the room.
End of the memory
It's awesome and shit to look back on this memory. I'm also gonna remind people that I was 18 when this happened there, lol. The best part was Eraserhead and Present Mic were my two favorite heroes (tied for 1st favorite, lol), so to be adopted by them was amazing. I will definitely go into other memories more. What would you guys like to hear about? You can send it asks with specific questions or just a general memory question.
