Little Spoons But Lots[?] Of Posts (kinda 3? Cause 2 Reblogs Are Like As If We Made Comments But In Reblogs.

Gonna be making a new account/blog.

Gonna put a link on here to it and gonna put a link on it to here.

We will still be using this account sometimes, we just wanna have another one as well.

We aren't sure if the body has PCOS currently, but it is possible as the body's mom had it. We know that she would have never even wanted anything to do with the intersex community [cause she was very Christian and transphobic, so to really say that there are more than 2 sexs would probably also be a no, lol].

We want to actually get tested but don't know how to go about it. If any being has any suggestions & tips, we would love to hear them.

[Also, please don't talk too bad about the body's mom as she is dead. She wasn't really good, but still, we loved and still do love her].

reminder that PCOS is an intersex variation and bullying, harassing and misgendering people who have PCOS isn't helping the intersex community, or anyone else, for that matter. there's no reason to be rude or say it doesn't "count". thats not for you to dictate. you're not helping other intersex people by saying people with PCOS aren't intersex, all you're doing is hurting intersex people when you do so.

First poem to post, lol.

No tw or cw I can think of.

This poem is very dog related.

The formatting is different on here than it was on my notes app, so it might seem weird. Although it might have seemed weird anyway, lol.

You Taught Me/Bad Dog

You taught me to fight

Yet when I fight

You label me a

Bad dog

You taught me to bite

But when I bite

You call me a

Bad dog

You taught me to growl

Yet when I growl

You say I'm a

Bad dog

You taught me this

But when I listen

You declare me a

Bad dog

You taught me

Yet I listen and

You insist I'm a

Bad dog

You taught me

How to be a

Yeah, for some, it's harder to accept their identity and shit, but for some alterhumans and nonhumans (including therians) it is voluntary and/or easier to accept their identity.

Let's not exclude them (not saying you were but mostly talking about in general, this post is just the best time and place to really say it).

Voluntary identities for alterhumans and nonhumans are just as valid as involuntary identities just as a reminder for everyone.

I find the "all therians chose" antis funny.

I used to be one of you.

Trust me I wished everything but to be that way lmao.

It wasn't a process of waking up and going "therians aren't weird anymore, I pick fox!"

It was a process of heavy denial and slowly accepting my identity despite what I used to believe in.

Can people send us asks?

Anything but donation asks and hate asks are "allowed."

Ask us about our plurality, our nonhumanity/alterhumanity, our misceverse identity, lgbtq+ identities, anything really (except for the previously mentioned stuff).

Please, we wanna talk about stuff with people so badly, but we need the motivation and others to want to hear/read about it. (Hope this makes sense).

Ok, first of all, our post was not an attack or hate to you. We even got where you were coming from.

Second of all, fuck that whole end paragraph.

We don't like using those terms just the same that we don't like using system to refer to us. They just don't feel right for us. We don't look down on or anything people who use any term that we don't.

We know that therians and otherkins aren't inherently human (although they can be, let's not forget the humans under the alterhuman umbrella). We would NEVER call someone human unless they say they are human.

Also, for the bisexual thing, there are multiple different multigender sexualities for a reason (pansexual, bisexual, polysexual, omnisexual, etc). Cause some don't prefer one of the other terms. There is nothing wrong with a preference for a term.

We like nonhuman and alterhuman better cause they are the ones that we would prefer to be called. There is nothing wrong with our preference, and if you think there is, then just block us.

putting this on main actually;

it annoys me to death when folks say stuff like “i’m not a therian, im a [xyz animal]”

because hey that’s what a therian is!

to say you don’t identify as a therian because you just ARE that animal is to say that therians AREN’T really the animal they claim to be. which is so wrong. to say you don’t like the term therian because it’s ‘too human’ is so insensitive.

therians are not necessarily human! someone calling themself a therian in no way makes them human! equating therians with humans is weird!

stop treating us like we are human, stop trying to separate ‘really being an animal’ from being a therian. they are the same thing. you’re not superior or different to us because you “really are that animal”. we all are.

We are gonna be going through our drafts right now.

Let's see how many posts we end up actually posting, lol.

Hey random question, does anyone know if there is a word for romantic attraction that's not "sexuality"?

Cause there should be. Cause not everyone's sexual attraction and romantic attraction "line up" (someone could asexual and biromantic, someone could be bisexual and aromantic, etc).

Question for the systems/plurals (or whatever term that beings use for those types of things) that have intentionally created alter(s)/headmate(s) [or whatever term].

How do you actually go about doing that? We are interested in trying to make/create some packmates (our version of alters/headmates) but we don't really know how to go about that.

We hope that we have explained this in a very respectful way.

- Shay 🐾 & Mystery ❔️ (when we started writing this post, Mystery was also in front, but not when posting this)

Edit (we originally just had this in the comments, but it's worth adding to the actual post): Add on to our original post. We have seen tumblr posts of "make a headmate/alter," are those recommended? (Hope this makes at least some sense). We don't necessarily mean using one or asking for one to be made for us. We just mean how they are formatted and all that. But also, would beings recommend using one of those?

SAYING "HUMAN" TAKES AWAY FROM WHAT THIS IS SUPPOSED TO MEAN

There are plenty of beings that are not human or not fully human or not human "in the right way" (all of these fit under alterhuman) and they are not less than or bad for not being human. We are not human.

STOP USING HUMAN AND SIMILAR WORDS LIKE THIS PLEASE

(We are probably gonna end up deleting this reblog and just blocking this blog/account cause we don't want to deal with those who use human like this)

Lots of thoughts recently. Everything feels plastic.

I could go on and on about why all that AI "art" is bad. I could mention theft, lack of creativity, it's impact on the work field and environment, but countless people have already said all that. I wanted to touch on something that to me is the most utterly wrong about all of it.

Art is more than just something pretty to look at or listen to. It's therapeutic. It's a form of communication. A tool for human connection. It's a pure, human need.
