Heya! Thanks for the ask! I really appreciate you reaching out. Re: Starseeds: The term alterhuman was coined... ten? years ago now? And at the time, while I'm sure some circles were aware of potential issues with the concept of starseeds as you share, at the time the term was something used a bit more broadly, especially by divine and extraterrestrial identified individuals. I was not part of the…
optimistic-mess : Can other alterhumans please relate to this moment when you just want to growl at someone or something and you just physically struggle to restrain yourself. Growl or hiss or meow or any animalistic noise that wouldn’t be accepted in our society. Because I cannot keep count of all the times I’ve fought every cell in my body not to purr or growl or hiss as an…
enchanted-arms : enchanted-arms : I think when sincerity (of emotion) is frequently mocked by society as immaturity, it’s easy to lean on irony as a means of distancing oneself from notions of weakness. In turn, the ability to be genuine is a skill that needs to be reframed and relearned, not as a marker of immaturity, but as fidelity to yourself and your own needs. And like, on an…
kinstincts : @kiniko-cryptid #aaahhh prev would you mind telling me how your ear pointing and fangs went??? #I’ve been wanting those for a while but I’m scared of getting them 😓 (Making a new post so I don’t hijack the other persons post!) Both of these were actually the easiest mods I’ve had done! Fangs Mine are composite, which is the same material used for fillings.…
Many places will tell you to focus on gear and clothes and playing games where you are your kintype, but those have never done much for me. What has always helped me is figuring out what parts of my body, skillset, and life style I can change to better match my kintype. If my kintype is a powerful runner that navigates the forest with ease and eats a mixture of fish and wild berries, then that…

mechanical-sunchild : >The nature of fictionkin is that quite often someone will not awaken until their source or world or whatever you would like exists and is shown to them in this world_ >And that’s a big if it’s shown too_ >It’s not dissimilar to a therian needing to know their species exists before they can identify it_ >I have an identity that’s neither fiction nor…
liondrakes : skyzygy : Btw you cannot claim to support the alterhuman community while being misanthropic. As someone who is fully and completely nonhuman on every level, you have to care about alterhumans who are still human to some extent. And attributing the things terrible people have done to innate flaws of humanity itself is to absolve them of responsibility. It is not “human…
Hey there, First, don't worry about your source or kin. Being a fictionkin is unvoluntary and you cannot control who you are (this is, in most cases, if we don't count fictionlink/otherlink in this scenario). And you don't need to "fit in" in this community. The alterhuman community won't judge you from who you are (If some random does, they're an asshole then). I've seen fictionkins of characters…
kpopwerewolf : femceladonite : It really does suck as a little how you’re typically treated: Being expected to never go on the internet, never have actual opinions, never EXIST in front of anyone that isn’t extremely close to the system. Being banned/excluded from spaces, whether it be without exceptions or with rules requiring littles to have older headmates co-fronting with them.…
interstellarsystem : Shoutout to fictionfolk who are different from their source in ways fandom doesn’t tend to like. Those who have a different orientation. Those who are disabled when their source isn’t or vice versa. Those who are a different race or even species. Those who are a different gender, are intersex, are cis, or are trans in noncanon ways. Those who have different moral…
weeping-wisteria-willow : I’m one of those people who likes being educated on practically everything, so can someone explain to me the difference between a Therian and an Otherkin? Denotatively (ie, in terms of strictly the definitions): Therian = someone who identifies as an animal (sometimes you’ll see this defined as earthen animals only, but this is historically not necessarily part of…
bristling-nest : I’m realising we might be teeming with the desire to interact and engage with alterhuman community. But we’re not experiencing in it… We’ve heard that one of the ways to do it is to write posts. Even if they are just about your own experiences. Idk how it might help and what interest our experiences might have for others but… We can try. We want to…
And so many of the Pandoran fictionfolk on here are anti-endo. I swear to the gods every time I find a new one there’s like a 75% chance they’re anti-endo. I don’t understand why the correlation is so high LMAO. But yes, absolutely - I think it’s always worth at least looking. Worst case scenario is that you don’t find much connection, in which care you’re not really worse off than you are without…
the-citrus-network : A Plural Future Comic we wish for a plural future. and not in the way of wanting more people to have a dissociative disorder, but in the way of plurality being more accepted and known about. and not just traumagenic plurality; all types of plurality. everyone deserves a safe place to be themselves, which includes plurals of all kinds, no matter the origin. we’ve known…
alterhuman-art : a-dragons-journal : @tanix-dragon , @levitating-lesbo , and @ all the anons who’ve been involved in this nonsense: this is all y’all’s fault For the record, Generic Farmer Man isn’t meant to be anything resembling a hypothetical appearance of the “smallfolk”; he’s just a Generic Vaguely Fantasy Farmer Man. (Please don’t tag as kin/ID, since this is a depiction of, you know. Me.…
