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.

- ShaySubpack 🐾 specifically Cyan 🩵 (we have other were beings but this post is just from me/us)

It's Mother's Day today.

So happy Mother's Day to any being who fits (if a being wants the happy Mother's Day to be for them, it is here).

We don't really like this day very much, the body's mother died like 3 years ago so it's hard. She might not have been that good of a mother but we still love(d) her.

But yeah, Happy Mother's Day.

moonfire is such an interesting name ! / pos .

what are prns aesthetics ?

angel / oath ( she / he ) , host .

Yeah, Moonfire is an interesting name, lol. They come from a D&D character idea we had, lol.

Sorry, we are a bit confused about your question. If you could explain a bit more we would appreciate it. :3c

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.

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.

- Shay 🐾

Can any being(s) explain exactly what each "level" of support needs mean? (High, medium, and low are the ones we have seen/heard)

Cause we literally aren't sure what we count under.

Like it almost seems like we are low-medium support needs or high-low support needs (like on the lower side of medium or higher side of low).

Does this make any sense?

- Shay 🐾

Sorry, we haven't been posting lately. Our motivation and energy have been a bit worse lately.

Hopefully we will be starting to post more soon.

We will definitely be posting more about service dog stuff for us when we actually start the process of getting a service dog. We will probably have donation stuff for us when this happens cause we don't have too much money, lol. We have been trying to work on getting disability income (we always forget what it's actually called, lol) as we can't work but we have heard that it usually takes quite a while before beings actually get it. And the body's dad is disabled and a retired veteran so not too much money there either. And the body's brother doesn't work (and also might not be able to).

Anyway, all of this is to say that we will hopefully be posting again soon and that we might be asking for donations once we properly work on getting a service dog, lol.

- Shay 🐾

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!

- Shay 🐾

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!)

Rebloging to spread this as we mostly can sadly only speak English in this life so we can't really join.

THE DAY OF LANGUAGES!!!

This 7th of May, 2025, we use our own language again!

If your language, native or not, is something other than English, on May 7th you can speak that language all day!

You’ll blog in your chosen language(s) all day: text posts, replies, tags (except triggers and organisational tags).

Regardless of what language people choose to speak to you, you can answer in your own.

Non-verbal, non-written languages (like sign language and dialects) are more than welcome! See my FAQ for tips

English native speakers can participate in any other language they're studying/have studied/know.

The tag is gonna be #Speak Your Language Day or #spyld for short.

Please submit me some language facts for me to share on this day <3

Pinned post and FAQ

Rebloging to give slight "update" on this.

We are right now just making a yarn tail (also, is acrylic yarn good or bad?) Until we get the time, energy, and knowledge to go about trying to make a tail with our dog's fur.

We are thankful for all the suggestions and tips other beings gave us! But also, we are sort of "dumb" and don't necessarily understand some things in the suggestions and tips, lol. So we would appreciate it if any other beings can help us understand a bit better forthose tips and suggestions, lol.

- Shay 🐾

[If there are any mistakes in spelling and grammar, only correct us if you are doing it constructively, please].

Do any beings know how to go about making a tail and/or ears with brushed off fur from a dog? Or where to find information about that kind of thing? (We have a husky, and we want to use some of his fur to make at least a tail and maybe ears as well).

We are thinking about using the start of a yarn tail to add the fur to it (we also need fur safe dye cause our dog's fur is white and ours should be a kind of dark brown). Would this work?

We wanna make a tail cause we aren't really able to properly find an ethical tail seller [we are disabled, we aren't gonna go more into it], and we have heard that fake fur tails aren't really that great. We might just end up making just a yarn tail if we can't find a way to use our dog's fur for it. [Are yarn tails good for the environment and stuff?]

- Shay 🐾

Tw: sex mention, technically nsfw(?) Not in too much detail, but talk about sexual stuff. Also, slight(?) exotrauma to do with sexual trauma. Hypersexuality and sex repulsion (probably not technically tw/cw but still)

Edit: We mostly try and keep more nsfw stuff off of our blog and account, but yeah.

Do any beings have tips for dealing with hypersexuality and sex repulsion at the same time? (Also, just tips for hypersexuality that don't involve actually "giving into the urges" [that's probably not the right phrasing, but we are tired and dumb rn]).

This shit is so fucking annoying and what makes it even worse is that as far as any of us know in this life and body we never went through sexual trauma, but some of us (overall pack) did in past lives. (All of us in the ShaySubpack did experience it).

For the alterhuman ask game!!

best/favorite thing about being nonhuman?

worst/least favorite thing about being nonhuman?

Hello!!!

Best/favorite thing about being nonhuman?:

This is hard because we love a lot of things about being nonhuman! Honestly, the best way to sum it up, though, is by saying that our favorite thing about being nonhuman is just that, lol. It's being nonhuman, being creatures, being animals, just all of that, lol.

Worst/least favorite thing about being nonhuman?:

This one is also hard, but it's cause we don't really have a least favorite thing if we are just talking about being nonhuman. Our least favorite thing would probably be something about how a lot of other beings might not see us for what and who we are.

Hopefully, these were good answers!

- 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?

- Shay 🐾

We'd also like to reblog to add in that we would also appreciate if beings gave tips for good animal shelters and rescues. Like what to look for to figure out if a place is a good place to find/buy pets from.

- Shay 🐾

Beings who know about ethical dog breeding/breeders in the USA, we have some questions.

(We are currently trying to find good ethical german shepherd dog breeders sort of around us to get a puppy so we can train [mostly professionally trained, we have a place in mind for that] to have a service dog).

Firstly, what should be looked for in a breeders?

Secondly, is it bad if a place/being breeds multiple breeds?

And just overall, how to find good ethical breeders.

Edit: Is it best to go for a working line, or does show line work fine for service dog work?

- Shay 🐾

Tw/cw: anger, violence, slight death (murder?) mention, slight animal abuse mention (comparing ourselves to one), and if there are any others, please let us know.

Being angry sucks sometimes cause we can also get very aggressive (even if it's only in our mind), and it sucks.

Like, we don't really like getting so angry that we think about biting or scratching or even killing someone. But this is how our brain works sometimes.

Especially when it's "not that serious" or whatever. Like something "small" can also cause anger like this. We really are pretty similar to a cornered abused creature when we get angry at times.

- Shay 🐾

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)

- Shay 🐾

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 ☀️

Yep, to all of this.

Also, just stop using disorders, disabilities, mental terms, etc. in contexts that aren't actually the disorder, disability, etc. Like, please, for the love of everything, stop saying "I'm so OCD" when you don't have OCD and are just being neat. And stuff that is similar.

- Shay 🐾

periodic reminder that it costs zero dollars and zero cents to not use the words psychotic, psycho, schizophrenic, schizo, insane, or delusional to mean derogatory things

no, that alt right person is not “psychotic” for being racist and having racist beliefs. you can be racist without having psychosis. it’s not mental illness causing these beliefs, it’s just hatred and bigotry.

no, that person advocating to repeal the medical rights of trans people is not “delusional/deluded”. you can be transphobic without experiencing delusions. it’s not a mental illness that causes these beliefs, it’s just hatred and bigotry.

no, that person supporting israel is not “insane” for justifying and supporting genocide. you can support genocide without having a severe mental illness. it’s not mental illness that causes these beliefs, it’s cruelty and hatred.

just find a different word. it is not that difficult. what IS difficult is living with psychosis, especially when it is stigmatized day in and day out. when we equate medical conditions with moral standing or worth, that’s eugenics.

i wish nothing but peace and love on everyone including those who have used these terms in the past, present and future, but i am tired.

there are so many good posts making good points that fall short because they use terms relating to psychosis to indicate moral failing.

psychosis. is. not. morally. corrupt.

STOP equating psychosis with bigotry, hatred, and cruelty.

note. people without psychotic symptoms are encouraged to reblog this. i am not going to do more than my share of the work to educate non-psychotics when i’m struggling with my own symptoms. thank you.

We would also like to add in trans men probably do too, especially if they aren't "passing." (As you talked about "men, " which trans men are still men.) Also, those under the nonbinary umbrella.

Also, AuDHD [enby] plural here, it's really fucking hard to control facial expressions. And we would like to point out that maybe Autistic, ADHD, etc. men probably also experience getting told off about facial expressions. However, we do not know as the body is AFAB (we are actually using this how it is meant to be used, as we may or may not technically be intersex, we need/want to figure that out, lol).

We aren't trying to "take this post away from women" or anything. We just feel the need to add that it's pretty much any being that isn't very "accepted" (for lack of a better word) is likely to be treated like this.

- Shay 🐾

do men have resting bitch faces as well or do they not have negative characteristics ascribed to them for putting on a neutral rather than a deliriously happy facial expression

🎁- what’s your special interest(s)?

✏- do/did you like or dislike school?

for the ask game thingy if youre still doing it :3

Yep, we are!! :3c [we love this. It's like a cat face with a paw under it!]

(The answers are mostly for this body/life btw).

🎁 - What's your special interest(s)?:

We actually have a post we are making about our fandom [games, movies, shows, etc.] related special hyperfixations (special interests/hyperfixations), lol, so not gonna go into that here.

Nonfandom related special hyperfixations are service animals, animals in general, art (multiple kinds, including written types), alterhuman stuff, and plural stuff.

✏ - Do/did you like or dislike school?:

[We aren't currently in school and we aren't planning on going back] The short answer is yes and no.

The long answer is we didn't seem to dislike school too much when we were younger, as we were doing alright in school, we did hate English when we were younger, but around 7th or 8th grade we started to love it. Our favorite class when we were younger was science. We still love science in a way, but it's different than when we were younger. We definitely hate math now.

School during and after COVID time became really hard for us. We were diagnosed with depression around COVID time, and our sensory issues to do with sound got worse. We weren't even diagnosed as autistic until the body was 17, almost 18 years old [we are currently 19, almost 20]. But we were diagnosed as/with ADHD at a "younger" age (we wanna say like 9 or 10 maybe?). Which while being younger than 17/18, it's still not the same as if this body was a white cis boy would have been.

Anyways, this became a kinda rant thing, lol. Hopefully, we actually managed to answer the questions though.

Firstly, species dysphoria is definitely a thing, and it's a lot like gender dysphoria (coming from beings who have both).

Secondly, absolutely it fucking sucks when we see the "I am human" things. Like, nope, that's not true. None of us are human.

(We wrote most of this a while ago, lol)

- Shay 🐾

I know everyone in non/alterhuman community always makes jokes about these 'prove you're human' captchas (hell our host posted one the other day lmao) but I wonder, does anyone else get genuinely upset by these?

I don't mean the jokes btw, I mean the captcha itself

I know it's probably a really dumb thing to get upset over and the wording on a captcha doesn't mean a damn thing but still, it gets to me

Maybe that's just because I'm ahuman but it makes me upset to even think about having to 'prove I'm human' when I'm not

It makes me feel sick

I don't want to be seen as human, I don't want to be labeled as human, I don't want other people to call me human, I don't want to call myself human, I don't even want entertain the mere suggestion that I could be a human or anything similar to it

Again, I know that the wording on captchas don't mean shit, but I can't help that it makes me upset, it just does

I certainly don't wanna have to get upset every time I log into something online, it's exhausting

I guess it kinda gives a feeling of dysphoria? I dunno that's what our host Berri says, even he isn't sure though cause he only experiences gender dysphoria but I've heard species dysphoria is a thing so maybe that's what it is

Idk

I guess I kinda just wanna know that I'm not alone in this feeling, that I'm not just being worthlessly dramatic

We aren't sure if the body has PCOS currently, but it is possible as the body's mom had it. We know that she would have never even wanted anything to do with the intersex community [cause she was very Christian and transphobic, so to really say that there are more than 2 sexs would probably also be a no, lol].

We want to actually get tested but don't know how to go about it. If any being has any suggestions & tips, we would love to hear them.

[Also, please don't talk too bad about the body's mom as she is dead. She wasn't really good, but still, we loved and still do love her].

- Shay 🐾

reminder that PCOS is an intersex variation and bullying, harassing and misgendering people who have PCOS isn't helping the intersex community, or anyone else, for that matter. there's no reason to be rude or say it doesn't "count". thats not for you to dictate. you're not helping other intersex people by saying people with PCOS aren't intersex, all you're doing is hurting intersex people when you do so.

Any disabled beings have any tips for other disabled beings?

We are kinda having a rough (ruff, lol) time lately.

We would especially love tips for work and how to figure out if working is actually an option right now.
