This Idea That Therianthropy, Otherkinity, Nonhumanity And Other Forms Of Alterhumanity Is Either Completely

This idea that therianthropy, otherkinity, nonhumanity and other forms of alterhumanity is either completely nonhuman, or completely human that identifies as a nonhuman creature bothers me. It's either we are crazy to think we are animals, or we're just roleplaying or regressing as animals and not taking it all that seriously.

One can be both human and animal. One can be completely animal. One can be completely human. There's no wrong or better way to be a therianthrope, otherkin or any other kind of nonhuman.

The way most make it feel like you have to pick one or the other, and how folks take sides, bothers me. The ableism coming from those who think the fully nonhuman are crazy and should be locked up. And the misanthropy coming from those who think the human nonhumans are awful or below them for being part human.

And I see it the worst in the physical nonhuman groups. One can be both physically or biologically a human and a nonhuman animal at the same time. How do you think werewolves or any kind of shapeshifter works? They aren't only one creature. They're both, or all their forms at the same time.

I'm both human and nonhuman. I take my nonhumanity seriously. This isn't a game or roleplay to me. I am an eagle and dog just as much as I am a human. And I've gotten shit from both sides. I'm delusional for thinking I am my theriotypes and fictotypes. And I'm too human to be taken seriously.

I didn't word this as well as I wanted, simply because I'm a tired old mutt and english is hard. But I hope you get what I mean.

This one aghhh 😭

I had thought you reblogged it

28 + 13 + 14 for the ask game ^_^

-Ez

what's the ask game? also 45 I think

Being the person that needs to nap after every big meal is so embarrassing. I apologize for being a 1 week old

I have made two designs for the mask I wanna try creating! Which one do y'all like more? I can't really decide :>

The first one is prettier, but I feel like the second one fits the vibe of my theriotype more? What do y'all think?

18 for the ask game, and also, i realized im a cladotherian from you tagging the term under a post you reblogged from me!! you accidentally helped me figure myself out more <3

Aw geez, that's so cool!!! I'm glad my dork behavior and your awesome post helped you figure yourself out in the long run!! ^w^

18- Aw gee that's hard, but probably a nice picnic on these huge rocks in this one protected woods area near my house. The picnic itself would be less of a meal and more of a mess of snacks we both like. And after we ate our fill, we could run/hike down the hill and down in the creek, splashing around and swimming for a few hours before drying off and walking back to the car. Then we could dry off and curl up in one of our beds as the sun sets, cuddling eachother and just talking until the moon rises.

Or yknow something like that-
