tbh it’s so comforting to refer to the system as a whole as “us”. like yeah if you don’t believe me you can ask my buddy earl

@the-radio-star-is-a-kookaburra is this true…

hi, you followed our system sideblog recently. I can't find your intro post, could you direct me to it? thank you. —@gensprocellarum

omg hi!! yeah i’m so sorry, i decided to pin a post for palestine resources since i figured that’s more important, i should change my bio lmao

come to think of it it’s been a while since i updated it, maybe i should ^^’

thanks for asking!

Heya Cheesecake, I just wanted to pop in with something that appeared out of nowhere a few weeks ago... Turns out I'm also a character fictionkin!

Specifically, I'm an Aven (Worldless) fictionkin. It was really surprising, especially since the game came out so recently, but!! It makes a lot of weird sense when I think about it?

This is what Aven looks like btw... I'm pretty canon divergent appearance-wise though.

And this is a (Very old and slightly outdated) image of what I (?) Might have looked like

It most likely came from my neurodivergency, since I got absolutely zero warning beforehand AND I'm not really spiritual, so I guess it might be psychological?

Anyways, I have changed my intro to mention this, plus I made the tag #Avenposting for all my fictionkin stuff. Anyways, sorry for the wall of text, I just wanted to ramble to you about this.

WHAT!!!!! HOLY MOLY CONGRATS DUDE!!!!! that’s SICK /pos you look so cool

ALSO I WILL BE FOLLOWING THIS TAG… apologies for the lack of posting!! thank you for sharing :] 💝💟♥️

THIS IS TRUE… really cockatoo is my only theriotype and it has been really isolating seeing so few others like me

I do want to compile my thoughts about the neglected "birdkin" theriotypes that always seem to take a back seat to what you might consider the person's primary or main theriotype, but I want to be able to do this without condemning anyone or suggesting that they're faking or whatever. Yes I have read Akhila's essay on the topic from the pov of a polytherian with a bird phenotype. It's just that I do often see a lack of engagement with the avian side of things if it's experienced alongside a mammalian type, right down to the use of "birdkin" as an umbrella term when nobody would do the same with mammals.

For many people, birds are the primary way humans experience nature & wildlife, but at the same time birds are made so anonymous and unappreciated, people listen to Birdsong but not the song of the blackbird or mistle thrush, see these darting shapes in the air and think little of them, etc. I wonder if crows and ravens are very popular theriotypes among bird people simply because of the outsized cultural baggage attached to them compared to others (similar to wolves) that makes them more recognisable to a layperson.

I'm not very articulate about this now but it's also very funny how all this back and forth about quadrobics and You Don't Need To Do Quads To Be Valid is defeated so simply by telling people that you're bipedal, actually.

GUYS WE SHOULD MAKE A TUMBLR COUNTRY

It IS true that being on here gives you a tumblr accent. This morning my mother asked me something and i replied "i don't know i've never heard these words in that order" and she nearly choked laughing. It wasn't even that funny
