Mood.

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?

- Shay 🐾

Yeah! Send us asks!

Also, we are gonna add another question to this whole thing for us.

21. How does your plurality affect your alterhumanity?

Also, you can send other questions in our asks if you want!!

We haven't posted in a while, lol.

Pretty sure there's also some posts in our drafts that may or may not get posted at any point.

This is just the whole post, lol.

Random disabled thing.

We don't feel like any of the "support needs labels/levels" really fits us.

Like we wouldn't really say we are low support needs. We definitely aren't high support needs. And medium kinda seems wrong?

We are like high low support needs to low medium support needs, we feel like.

Do any other beings feel like this? Like you are in between support needs "levels"/"labels"/whatever the word is?

Thanks for answering!!

We haven't fully looked at the video yet but we wanted to respond a bit to the side note thing (also maybe the tags?).

Yeah google is very good for things, lol. We just mainly sent the ask cause we saw that you had said that you wanted some asks sent, lol.

We had some ASL classes (read: was in ASL 1 two times cause we aren't good with school and that includes college, lol). We would love to take more classes for ASL but we have a lot of difficulties with school and stuff so that seems like it might not happen.

While we might not be deaf (although we do have difficulties with hearing, lol), the reason we love ASL and learning it is that we have verbal shutdowns (others tend to refer to this kind of thing as "going nonverbal" but that's not really correct). So while ASL might not be our language or culture, to us it is more than just a "fun fact". [This was just us explaining, we aren't upset with you saying the thing about it being a fun fact].

Once again, thanks for answering our ask!

Hello! We saw your "speak your language day" post.

We know a bit of ASL ourselves but would definitely love to learn more!

Do you know how to sign things like "plural" (as in the plurality community), "alterhuman", "nonhuman", and just stuff like that? We would love to learn if there are signs for some of our communities even though there probably isn't, lol.

If there aren't any signs for those, we would just love to learn different signs for (nonhuman) animals! Especially canines (wolves, dogs, jackals, etc.) and felines (cats, tigers, cheetahs, etc.)

- Shay 🐾

English:

I’m still a student so I’m not an ASL authority, remember that. But, for plural I would maybe sign like [listing things], or… depends on how many you feel, like [list 2] [list 3] [list 4] [list 5] personalities, or self, [multiple self]. Maybe, depends. For- I’ve seen human signed with the H handshape like [body] becomes [human] like [person] becomes [human]. So maybe with other signs added before, like [not human] or [other human]. Or [not human] [other human]. Like that. There’s not a lot of signs for specific identities like that. But for other animal signs, the sign for animal is [animal]. I don’t know a lot… like, I know dog, I know cat, but specific types…. Like, a lot is describing what it looks like. I don’t know if tiger sign exists already, it probably does, I would try signing it by explaining what it looks like. Like, orange cat, large with black stripes down it, like that. Yeah. I hope that helps. Bye!

(Side note: Not signed just adding something. If you’re curious about a sign, google is your friend. Lots of signs can be found online and signs can vary depending on the region. Some signs in the state I’m from are very different from signs elsewhere. Look online and if trying to communicate with deaf people in your area keep in mind that many signs can be localized! Just cause I sign something one way doesn’t mean a deaf person from your state is wrong for signing it another. Far from it! Understand the culture of your area, understand deaf culture, and remember, for you it may be a fun fact, for them it’s their language. Be aware and have fun signing!)

Sorry that it was exactly clear what we meant.

We meant for posts that are specifically nsfw/sexual/etc, not really the post we rebloged.

Really sorry it wasn't very clear. We have a hard time explaining what we mean and tone and shit due to so of our disabilities.

Also, we can across the post from another reblog, so we didn't even see your tags, so it definitely wasn't supposed to be "calling you out" or anything. It was just supposed to be a reminder and shit of how important tags are.

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.

🤚i wanna know about your misce identity! how is it like to be tridynamic? do you have scents? what are some instincts you have? how do you personally view each dynamic? (specially interested on betas because its the one dynamic people have very different "headcannons" for) :3< /nf

Hello!!!!

It's interesting to be tridynamic, lol. I have some instincts and stuff from all three of my dynamics but mostly Beta.

I do have scent(s), my scent(s) are woods/forest, fur (don't know how exactly to explain this part except for that, lol), and kind of chocolatey.

Some instincts (hopefully these all count as instincts, lol) are nesting/dening (is that how it's spelled?), the urge to take care of others, the urge to be cared for, and others. My behaviors and stuff are mainly based on canines, some felines, and crow-like behaviors, lol.

Each dynamic is very different for each person really. But for me specifically, I will explain a bit of how it affects me. I'm not gonna go into any nsfw topics, so ruts and heats are not gonna be mentioned except for this.

The Omega part of me is very much more towards being cared for and very "typical"/"traditional" Omega things (cooking, cleaning, taking care of pups/kids, etc).

The Alpha part of me is very much more towards taking care of others and very "typical"/"traditional" Alpha things (protective, little bit more aggressive, etc).

The Beta part of me is kinda a mixture between Alpha and Omega, but also, it's kinda hard to explain exactly. Very much a mixture of the urge to care for others and the urge to be cared for.

If anyone wants to share their own misce identity, feel free to comment or reblog to share it!!

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.

More bad memories from my life as Zuki. Cause of course my brain hates me.

Tw: abuse, school abuse[? Idk what to call it], muzzles, quirk discrimination, shock collars, bullying, I think that's it for this one?

When I was younger, my bio mother was told to use a muzzle and shock collar that "neutralized" quirks on me. Cause my quirk was "dangerous" and "needed to be controlled." These were supposed to be illegal to use on anyone, even the most dangerous villain. But of course, people didn't listen and used them on those with "evil" or "villain" quirks (especially certain mutant related quirks).

It kinda makes sense that a hero like my bio mother could get one, but what's 'interesting' is that once I got into middle school, some of the teachers also had them. I don't know where they got them, but whatever. My middle school and high school both used the muzzles and shock collars on me.

When I was in middle school, I was still very cautious and shit. I never fought back, I never started a fight, I never did any of that. But yet anytime someone attacked me, I got punished. They would put the muzzle on me saying something about how I was bad and deserved it and the same thing with the shock collar. But 'luckily' the shock collar was less often used.

In high school is when I started fighting back sometimes. It was still usually only if someone else was being hurt [whether physically or verbally]. When it was just me, I would usually not fight back. Sometimes, I did fight back when it was just against me fully, though.

This is all I'm gonna talk about rn.
