*me, As A Small Child*: Aha Yeah Swingsets Are The Best Playground Equipment Out There!! If A Playground

*me, as a small child*: aha yeah swingsets are the best playground equipment out there!! If a playground dosnt have a swingset it’s stupid! I love that part of swinging when if feels like you’re flying!! I like to put my arms out at that part bc it’s like wings!! *continues rambling about swingsets*

Me now, having winged theriotypes and Kintypes and getting very strong phantom wing shifts: oh

THIS IS WHAT I MEAN!! Shoutout to ur bf fr

As much as I’d love a partner who is also an alterhuman, I feel like having regular human partners has its major benefits (stay with me-)

Imagine having a partner who fully accepts you as nonhuman. Makes little jokes about it (in a nice way obvi), lets you bite them (SFW!!), and just truly loves that non human side of you yk? I feel like this would work better for ppl who are therian/otherhearted rather than people with purely mythical types however I could see it playing out both ways.

I just think it would be really validating for someone outside of the alterhuman community to see you as you are.

This is for all the people that wish more happened to them so their truama/ truama responses could be “more valid”:

THAT IS A SIGN OF MAJOR TRUAMA BABE <3

*especially if you were dealing with emotional abuse because that often involves gaslighting <3*

And as for the argument of “other people have gone through worse”? UTTER BULLSHIT other people, hell, people around you could’ve gone through “worse” truama and that does not mean your truama is immediately invalid. You’re allowed to have your own thoughts and feelings without them being proportioned next to someone else’s.

My grandfather would pick me up from school, ask me how my day was, and if I expressed even the slightest bit of being unsatisfied with my day, he would say “oh well you know who never gets good school days? Starving children in Africa 😀”

Do you see how idiotic that sounds? Yeah, that’s what you’re doing to yourself every day when you invalidate your trauma. (Not calling you idiotic btw, just trying to prove a point. You’re not stupid, you’re being manipulated.)

Btw this also goes for the ppl with any mental illness (but particularly depression) that don’t have any trauma so they have nothing to “blame” it on and feel invalid. You’re depressed bc the world around you sucks. You don’t need trauma to see that.

Anyways stay safe, drink water, and try to be nice to yourself for a day!

Sometimes being non human is “I hate this body, my bones are wrong, the way I move is too limited for my comfort, I’m forced to live by these weird social constructs I don’t understand etc., etc.,”

But sometimes it’s also just “teehee I’m a *insert _type here*

Both are good and should co exist. Your experience with your non human identity don’t have to be all suffering <3

top alterhuman related things that has happened to me recently:

While doing a nature hike at a nature center, the teacher had us do this thing where we put our hands on our head like fox ears and my friend who is not an alterhuman said “*name* that would be your real ears”

My other friend who is also not an alterhuman said that I was a “space boy” (gender euphoria AND species (?) euphoria with that one)

Same friend said “you may have fooled them into being human!! But not me!!! I knew from the start!!” (Meaning before I even knew btw)

I showed a friend my Pinterest acc with a bunch of therian related things and she didn’t even blink

I got insanely intense phantom wings for like 3 days straight

My fellow tumblr nonhumans have seen my page and I’m starting to get more interactions

I’ve just overall been very in tune with some of my kin/therio types recently!

Friend saw me sitting in a windowsill and said I look like I belong there as a cat
