Creatures Who Have Told Their IRLs Your Nonhuman Identity: How Did It Go? I’m Currently Considering

hi, at what part of puberty do i get my divine glowing light? what's that you say? never? fascinating, thanks! *starts mauling people*

Snake Therian Culture is mourning the fact I can't dangle freely in branches

oh how relaxing that would be, basking in the sun!

affirmations

i am so good at pretending to be human

my human disguise looks basically just like the real thing

i can withstand the feeling of my wings and tail being cramped for several hours in a row

it's really normal or even cute when i growl

i can easily partake in human conversations

I tend to hiss and make other noises either when startled or when I’m content

Animals of Tumblr!!

How vocal do you tend to be?

Do you unintentionally hiss or growl? Do you get the urge to howl and bark, to croak and roar?

I'm asking cause I tend to vocalize a lot, and I wanna see how many other critters do the same

definitely feeling like a ball python lately. I just want to curl up in a ball and hide away from the world.

this is schizo (I am not creative with names) and his head is full of rocks!

your art is super cool btw!!

this is damian doom and xe is Trying his best

A note on terms: I do not use the terms therian or otherkin. I may technically fit into these categories, but I do not like these labels (nothing against people who do use them though). I am a physically nonhuman shapeshifting changeling fae creature, and I am a holothere.

I may occasionally use other tags, but these are the only nonhuman labels I feel really suit me.

alright y'all buckle up i got another rant incoming.

unless you have prior consent from the psychotic person, do NOT reality check them. it may be helpful for some people, but for the rest of us, it is agitating and (at least in my case) makes our psychosis worse.

if curing psychosis (not that curing psychosis is the goal) was as simple as "believe me when i say, what you see/hear/believe is untrue" i would NOT be taking 80mg of antipsychotics each day. i would just believe you. but when you tell me that the belief that is as true as day is wrong, i just feel stupid and angry. i feel stupid (especially if it was said in a patronizing tone) for believing what i believe and i feel angry that you would violate my beliefs like that.

case in point, a couple of days ago my dad and i were having a conversation and he mentioned that i am, whether i like it or not, i am human. he damn well knows that one of my strongest delusions to this day is that i have canine dna that is expressing human proteins, that's why i have a human body. scoffing and telling me that i am human and i'll realize it one day just makes me angry and reinforces my delusion. it doesn't make me believe you.

you can call yourself neurodivergent, but if you ain't normal about psychotic folks, i'll see you in autism hell, bitch.

hfjsgdjshkfks idk what worse-

having lots of hyperfixations at once or not having any hyperfixations

when i have lots of them i get rly overwhelmed cus i just,, wanna do all of them at once and its like a constant need to be doing something related to all of my hyperfixations but u just CANT watch five shows at once or listen to music, watch a video, research, and do crafts all at the same time i just physically cant do that

but when i dont have any hyperfixations i feel so empty. my thoughts get kinda mixed up cus i dont know what to think about or focus on and im just constantly understimulated because of boredom and thats just miserable

fun fact therians can be physically nonhuman
