[solemn fog]

[coral raven]

How do you guys do pk

[molten crow]

I would ask this in #1151243634876891246

[coral raven]

Alright

[tiny obsidian]

Made 2 new therian masks

[spiral kestrel]

Omggg they look so great!

[tiny obsidian]

tyyy

[molten crow]

Hey guys :^) rainy day out

[spiral kestrel]

I haven’t done quads in so long 😭

Like I’ve practiced walking and cantering and trotting

But not jumping

[upbeat comet]

I haven't proper done quads in almost

Almost a year *

[spiral kestrel]

Rip

[silver nexus]

i wanna be a therian, got any advice?

[upbeat comet]

...

that's not how it works

[silver nexus]

?

wdym

[upbeat comet]

i can't be bothered explaining but maybe someone else will /lh

[silver nexus]

i know about therians and how they identify as some kind of animal is it not that?

cause i do identify as a poodle 🤩

[upbeat comet]

Erm

Being a therian is not a choice

[silver nexus]

i know but i wanna be one but i dont know where to get started, i indentify as a dog/poodle but i just wanna be a proper therian 😭

[upbeat comet]

In some way, shape, or form you unwillingly identify with or as an animal, we cannot help it
People may not think about it and live life normal, but it is.not a choice

[silver nexus]

i already indentify with something

[upbeat comet]

what you're saying sienna is kind of like saying "i wanna be trans"
you don't just decide all of the sudden you want to be trans
it's also not really something you should want

[upbeat comet]

then why are you asking on how to be something you already are?

[Reply to:](#1146271483425984513 message) i already indentify with something

no ive been like this for 2 years

[upbeat comet]

That is quadrobics and expression, not therianthropy.

Sienna💗 ↩️

[Reply to:](#1146271483425984513 message) i just wanna be a proper therain like with the trotting the jumps and masks and stuff

quadrobics is a sport that a lot of nontherians do, and masks are just an art

[silver nexus]

well how do i do the quadrobics?

[upbeat comet]

Find tutorials, stretch, exercise, practice, fogure out what feels right for you

[silver nexus]

Thank you!!

[tulip root]

Hey I’m wondering I’m not a therian or anything but I still support it. Is that okay? My friend said I can’t support unless I am one.

[upbeat comet]

whaat? that's like saying you can't support lgbtq+ without being gay -.-
your friend is incredibly weird /lh

[tulip root]

So I can support lol?

[upbeat comet]

ofc..?

is your friend a therian? /genq

[tulip root]

Yea

They said they don’t want me supporting if I don’t understand

[upbeat comet]

then idk what they're talking about. do they not want you to support them as a friend or smth?? .-.

that's so weird xd

[tulip root]

Idk 🤷

Just wanted to make sure

[upbeat comet]

well there's your answer xD

[tulip root]

Okay thanks

[tiny obsidian]

hey

[spiral kestrel]

I do quads and wear masks and I’m not a therian /lh (sorry I’m late)

[silver nexus]

oh really? wow!

[spiral kestrel]

These are my most recent ones

I haven’t done quads in a while

[shy anvil]

I read I do Quack XD

Ryn is affecting our vocabulary XD

[spiral kestrel]

Lolll

[grand thorn]

Or are you just magic

Why do homework when you can read and space out then reread it again and repeat.

I don't do homework

The only class I really get homework from is civics and the teacher is rude so I'm not doing whatever she throws at me

[solemn fog]

oh i forgot about caps 😞

weeeee. 🙄 😑

[spiral kestrel]

so real

[spiral kestrel]

the kick wasnt bad but the jump looked like i was holding onto weights 😭 /hj

[solemn fog]

better than i could do 😞 /lh

[spiral kestrel]

Rip 😔

You should post yourself doing quads 😘 /nf /hj

[upbeat comet]

😞 one day

[spiral kestrel]

Yuhhh I’m getting better

[spiral kestrel]

Low jump for today bc im tired lol

[spiral kestrel]

Bro this weird thing happened today where I was going up the stairs as usual on all fours but like I couldn’t get up and I was like a cat kind of it was really weird and it was hard for me to snap out of it but idk if I’m faking it not it was kind of weird like I was being controlled by something to make me act like a cat but it was also instinct idk how to explain it 😭

And like I felt like I had cat ears too it was so weird

What’s going onnnnn

[upbeat comet]

You had a mental and phantom limb shift.

Thats what

Boogie (Please @) | 🧸 = Little ↩️

[Reply to:](#1146271483425984513 message) What’s going onnnnn

[spiral kestrel]

Gaits and a jump (I forgot to mute the audio 😔)

I didn’t have enough room to run 😭

I can’t wait to do quads outside I’ll be so happy

I recorded 2 shifts but they were too awkward for me to share 😔

I’ve been shifty all day apparently that’s why

But it’s weird like it feels so natural until you realize “wtf am I doing”

[spiral kestrel]

1st and 4th clips: trotting
2nd clip: my attempt at the bouncy trot
3rd and 5th clips: jumping

[upbeat comet]

You literally gave us the motivation to do quads today thank you so much for that 🛐 you supremacy >>>

We decided to edit us falling how people edit their jumps 😭😭

Also!! God your trot is so awesome! We've been trying for like over a year now and I just don't think we're gonna learn how to trot 😭

Ayeee you’re welcome!

[spiral kestrel]

Loll I felt the same way but I just trotted what I found natural and I found that kind of trot natural for me

[upbeat comet]

hmmm

Oh well as long are you’re ok

[spiral kestrel]

Loll

Yes I am fine

My elbow kind of buckled but it doesn’t hurt

[upbeat comet]

alright then, our elbows buckle often but we’re hypermobile, so that explains it

[spiral kestrel]

yeah that makes sense

[spiral kestrel]

i just realized the 1st and the 4th clip are the same clips 😭

[upbeat comet]

Once i learn how to manage my pain properly and I start exercising again I might get back into quads

Only issue is that's usually the source of our flare-ups 🧍‍♂️

[spiral kestrel]

so real

we could be stunt doubles we're professional fallers 😂

[upbeat comet]

Yesss!

Quadrobics teaches you to fall fr

In guard we were required to learn how to safely fall for a dance and it was so fun

Quads was a huge help with that too because I tend to just crumble when I land lmao

I love falling safely

Also just a funny (imo) convo we had while preparing for quads

Because it's freezing outside 😂

[spiral kestrel]

the third clip reminds me of ur jump @molten crow lol /pos

i forgot to mention that hahaha

[spiral kestrel]

real

[olive dirge]

GG @molten crow, you just advanced to level 19!

[upbeat comet]

Oh my gosh it has the bounce! 🤩

[spiral kestrel]

yesss

the first time i successfully mimicked ur jump but it was by accident hahaha

[upbeat comet]

Oh my gosh I just teared up over that because I just!! Aaaaa! I'm just like rocking rn it's so cool that you try to mimick our jump 😭🧡

They’ve never been this sore 😭

And plus my school has a lot of stairs too omg

I took a Tylenol though but still 😔

[upbeat comet]

Gonna stretch and get myself back into the idea of quads since today isn't totally terrible

I don't think I can do anything more than a small hop so I won't be jumping but still

I am already so out of breath

I need to stop rotting in bed

Sloppy run

I need to work on my arms, why do they flail to the side like that at the end 🧍‍♂️

[spiral kestrel]

Not the greatest jump but it good enough lol

[upbeat comet]

More quads (kinda)

Only really recorded that to see what my form looks like right now

Also from the side because why not atp

It's not terrible but at the same time I could really use some improvement

[upbeat comet]

Also a little jump height test thing for shiggles

I need to work on keeping my legs together lmao

[upbeat comet]

The second to last one (my highest successful jump) was ~2'4 high

I was dreaming I was doing quads lol

But I kind of ate 😍

[solemn fog]

REAL whenever we have quads dreams we're like super mega ultra pro for whatever reason

[spiral kestrel]

FR

Like we were running too

Not jumping we were just practicing gaits

[solemn fog]

literally ‼️

running on all fours in dreams is = to the speed of light apparently

[spiral kestrel]

My dream was in third person but idk if I was inside or outside

I just know my form was really good

Maybe it’s a sign 😍

oh ok

wait omg

ok going back to playing firewatch 🔥 see ya later alligator

I might work on my form more today

I kinda want to add a buck but idk

I tend to land on my knees when I buck too

[upbeat comet]

Maybe not, my shoulders are super sore

Heya

I am this I think

[upbeat comet]

Hello I am also this but have just been lurking 👀

It’s hard for me to explain bucking but this is what you could do to practice maybe? /lh

But when you kick up maybe kick out instead?

[lost plume]

Black cat gang :D

[molten crow]

A convo I just heard in class:
P1: Did you do those wolf tiktoks too where they jump over bars?
P2: NOOO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH ARM STRENGTH THAT TAKES?
P1: What no?
P2: Like it's weird but you see how high they go then they land all that weight on their wrists? That shit looks hard

[upbeat comet]

It is quite hard ngl - we can only jump around 40-50cm without dying.

Last time we checked we can only jump a little over 24in (60-70cm)

This was last time we checked 🧍‍♂️

Poor TCC

So relatable though

My knee hits my elbow all the time and it hurtsss

[spiral kestrel]

Im gonna try to do some at the pool though if there aren’t a lot of people

Or at the beach

[spiral kestrel]

Ok so my form revamp is going well but now I can’t land anything 😀

Helpppp

And idk how to jump forward either I can only jump up

(I don’t have any clips of me trying to jump forwards unfortunately)

[solemn fog]

r ur knees ok

[spiral kestrel]

Yes loll

Idk how tbh

My knees have gone through more trauma than a WW2 veteran

[solemn fog]

LMFAO

🫡

[spiral kestrel]

LOL

[upbeat comet]

How do others cope with phantom limbs?

[upbeat comet]

Well we cope ok, it really depends what phantom limbs show.

Making sure we give ourselves the space to be us really helps and take advantage of times being alone as well as just viewing ourselves like we do actually have our own body each. Though things can get mismatched with cofronting etc.

We just slightly mask our actions that seem unnatural for humans, and we cover it up like you would redirecting a tic.

Though we can have a bit of extra room cause our mom doesn’t judge our sometimes animalistic traits.

Being a bat hybrid creature, personally has been hard not feeling my limbs often, but wishing I did have my body.

[fringe hollow]

i'm an otherhearted therian, quadrobist, alterhuman and questioning other kin!! :D

designed a mask (:

i ended up selling this mask, my first ever mask that i have sold heh

[solemn fog]

damnn this is so good wth

[tiny obsidian]

heheh tyy

this one is my fav one that i have ever filmed

my belt broke that day, so i coudlnt wear my tail, it broke from quads haha

[cloud rose]

That's cool!!

[cloud rose]

This was exactly a year ago. I can no longer do quads anymore due not being able anymore

[royal valley]

Hi! This is my first message here, but I wanted to introduce my theriotypes and their pronouns
Black cat (only one I have gear for atm): Pipsqueak (Pip) She/He/They
Gray and silver cat: Thunderwing (Thunder) She/They
Gray wolf: Hope She/Her

[tiny obsidian]

Hi thunder!!!

[tiny obsidian]

woah you were really good

[cloud rose]

Thank you!

[hazy aspen]

How do you know if your a therian/gq

[cloud rose]

Answer yes or no. It's basically to help me decide on something

It's related to making masks

[hazy aspen]

Yes?

[cloud rose]

Okay

[molten crow]

Just some quadrobics we've done for thr first time in a while

[spiral kestrel]

nice! :D

[molten crow]

Hey spotify you're not supposed to call us out like that?? 😭

[shy anvil]

But Spotify is having fun! Lol

[slow bluff]

giggling

[shy anvil]

Been thinking about quadrobics a lot cause of the olympics.
Someday we will get to jumping quads.
Despite our Dysautonomia symptoms and weak shoulder, someday we’ll do it.

[slow bluff]

ok weird question-- aimed at therian systems

is it possible where different alters who are therians are connected to different animals/creatures or whatnot? been trying to figure rhat out recently but dont want ro make stuff up-- DID makes each of us super different so idk if its valid or not to question that

[shy anvil]

Yep! Even nonhuman alters can be Otherkin afaik

[slow bluff]

that makes sm sense omfg ty

cause we have an alter who is a.. literal cat and holds onto spirtuality stuff, aka therian and what not but personally, i, dont feel connected to cats more than a "i like that animal theyre cool" way yknow but dogs are complwtly different-- i work in a dog boarding facility and its like im just, with them idk

[shy anvil]

I myself am nonhuman. And I do tend to hang around Therian spaces because of it. Though I find there’s not many who aren’t toxic sadly.

[slow bluff]

thats sad :( hopefully u can find some ^^

[shy anvil]

Well every alter is different. You arent expected to like/dislike things just because another headmate likes/dislikes that thing too.

[slow bluff]

lots of thinking cause i work at the facility, that im going to rn

[slow bluff]

oh ikik it was more so like a spirituality like,, therian connection thingy or if that has to be bodily only idk

[shy anvil]

Nah it can vary.

[slow bluff]

slay tysm

[shy anvil]

Np!

[molten crow]

Helppp spotify 😭😭

[upbeat comet]

Guys I'm back

[sudden geyser]

\ Yuck

On a new account too

Been eating so hard

I've also discovered I'm actually a lycanthrope, not a therian, so that's something ig

[hazy aspen]

May i ask what the differenxe is? /gq

[molten crow]

You look so cool!!

[sudden geyser]

Therianthropy is almost a spiritual identity in a sense, lycanthropy is a physical identity

Typically a form of delusion

[hazy aspen]

Ah thanks

[sudden geyser]

Dog damnit guys

[crude lintel]

Oh well..

[spiral kestrel]

aw well gosh diggity

[hybrid phoenix]

/random but glad to find other alterhumans here!! personally, I'm a cat, fox, and owl therian as well as generally animalhearted. maybe alienhearted? XD
anyways so cool to find others!! X3

question! does anyone like get less/almost no shifts when you don't connect to your therianthropy at all (for example, ignoring it or just plain out not doing anything related) and like are okay with being a human although you still feel like one of your theriotype/s inside?

[fast flower]

I'm a therian :3

[crude lintel]

I think I might be a Therian but I’m very confused

[hybrid phoenix]

spill the paragraphs plz!! would love to help

[sudden geyser]

Same! Start yapping pal /nf

[crude lintel]

(It’s one am rn so my brain ain’t braining properly)

So basically I’ve been getting these fake limbs they aren’t there (phantom limbs) mostly phantom tail if that makes any sense at all lol.
I’m also getting these like ‘shifts’ I think is the term of being an animal or having like instincts (that also makes no sense). And I don’t feel fully human is a big factor of this I feel disconnected from myself and now my brain is gonna eep

[hybrid phoenix]

ok that sounds to me like therian imo @.@

[jolly hedge]

I'm still not sure if I'm otherkin, but I had a very fun experience that I wanted to share. My family and I went mountain biking and way up high on a hill, we found a stick fort someone had built.

There was just a single mushroom and a small bone inside it! There were also a lot of rocks that formed a cliff, and it was so fun to climb on all of them and go in the stick home. Sometimes, I do wish that I was a creature of some sort and I could do this all the time.
Anyway, I just wanted to share it here because it made me very happy.

[hybrid phoenix]

this sounds so fairytale 😭

[upbeat comet]

not sure if this counts but can alters in systems who are non human be in this chat?

[hybrid phoenix]

good question... I guess they're similar to alterhumans because they aren't human but are in a human body? OP should answer though XP

[spiral kestrel]

nice!

i haven’t done quads in so long lol

[shy anvil]

Pretty sure anyone’s answer is yeah.

Nonhumans should be allowed here too as it’s similar in many ways.

[arctic palm]

did quads yesterday for the first time in a while and it was our first time doing quads in public! we got a bit scraped up from falling but it was fun and honestly helped w my joint pain ☺️ but now our muscles hurt 🥲

That's a good idea! That's a great way to tell them if your to nervous to explain it in person! Would love a update once you get a response for them! If your comfortable that is

I've left on the table in the kitchen so my dad sees it in the morning

[cloud rose]

Okay!

I think one of us is a sheepkin

[cloud rose]

:D!

[shy anvil]

We saw one animation about a anthro ram sheep who was a smol boy, start finding out she was a smol sheep girl by trying on a dress and trying not to give herself away when the person at the till knew all along and were super supportive but in a very ‘playing along with the customer’ kind of way, cause the sheep said they were getting it for a friend.

Felt an instant connection and started softly crying. Which is weird as we are afab intersex.

But also what the heck is gender.

What even is species??? 💀🤪😂

Are we trans femboy, or just in denial of our feminine body. We will never know.

[royal valley]

Today is Halloween day at dance, so I decided to wear my gear (I also made my therian friend in class a mask)

[cloud rose]

Woah! That's cool! Sounds like a fun day to me :D! 🐾

[royal valley]

News from dance:
We couldn't wear the mask or tail while dancing for safety reasons, but I was able to wear them for pictures at the end of class. During our water break after warm-ups, I showed my mask to my dance teacher, and she was amazed that I made it myself, and I told her that I made my friend's as well. She demanded that my friend show her her mask 😃

[cloud rose]

That's so cool!! I'm glad your dance teacher liked them! 😄

I bought ears and a tail at supernova and im so happy

[vocal flicker]

[hazy aspen]

I didnt realise thank you

I'll get a tail for Hanukkah

[knotty trellis]

Hey, is it possible to be a robot alterhuman? I don’t feel human and I feel like it might be robot.

And is it possible to come in waves? So like Ill be entirely human, and then another day, almost completely robot?

[vocal flicker]

I don't see an issue / conflict with it

[knotty trellis]

Alright, thanks!

[rustic parrot]

I'm confused about what this is

[hazy aspen]

Alterhumans, like therians and stuff like that

[mortal silo]

Anyone who does quads I’m like really really really impressed bc that’s difficult. I wish I could do quads for no reason at all and my parents not make fun of me

[cloud rose]

You don't have to be a alter human to do quads. Some people do it for fun or as a sport.

[mortal silo]

I just wish my parents wouldn’t make fun of me for doing quads

[mortal silo]

Can someone explain shifts??? I’ve heard about them but i dont know what it means

[shy anvil]

Shifts are three things

1. Mental shift: taking on the mindset of your kin type and how it would view the current world around it and how it instinctively interacts with the present.

2. phantom limb shifts: feeling like your body has become their body, allowing you to feel physical traits that are not your human body’s traits. It’s as if it’s there but it’s not there cause no one can see it but you can feel it. Hence “Phantom”.

I forget the third but I believe it’s a spiritual shift or something.

Usually kins get one or the other, but both can occur.

Many things trigger the shifts. Whether pos or neg.

You can take on certain abilities your kin has.

It varies from person to kin type.

[hazy aspen]

I do martial arts and one of our warms ups is running around a room and one if the ways they call out to get around is bear crawls where you crawl on your hands and feet and i am speedy af,

[knotty trellis]

As Im getting phantom limb of a socket 😭

[mortal silo]

I remember doing something similar in gymnastics but our legs had to be strait so we were basically hooping on all 4s

[calm vine]

so um-

i've been questioning if i'm therian (cat) for a bit

i don't think i really have shifts but i do love acting like just a cat

and also i just started watching BNA and i'm insanely envious of Michiru

does any of that... mean anything?

[cloud rose]

You don't have to have shifts as a therian some therians Don't experience a lot of shifts. But I will say please look at all of the Alter human labels before labeling yourself as a therian because other labels can be more personal and more accurate to your experience.

[molten crow]

One that always comes to mind is otherhearted, it's identifying with and not as something

[cloud rose]

As someone who mislabeled myself as a therian please look at other labels just in case. Some other labels include Otherhearted, Other paw, Copinglink/other link, Lycanthropy, otherkin, Fictionkin, etc.

[cloud rose]

Yep!

[calm vine]

ooooh maybe

[calm vine]

i'll look those up, thanks :>

copinglink or otherlink sounds like me. it's definitely a way of coping with gender dysphoria and stress

[cloud rose]

It could be a copinglink then! If you have any questions about it let me know! :D!

[mortal silo]

Anyone have any tips for making yarn tails

[calm vine]

okie i thinkies i'm otherlink :3

[cloud rose]

That's cool!

I'm questioning being a Otherfix rn

[shy anvil]

A what?

[cloud rose]

Other fix. It's where someone may identify as or with a character that's influenced by or connected to a hyperfixation.

[cloud rose]

Found out I'm a Fictionkin not a other fix!

[tulip root]

Heyo :D my theriotypes are crow, shark and possum XD

[gusty fjord]

Hello other alterhumans!!
I often see myself as a fae but I’m a therian and my theriotypes areee: Vampire bat, grizzly bear, desert hare, a little black mouse, and I’m questioning the comoro black flying fox (another type of bat)

You can tell I’m really connected to bats 😂

[gusty fjord]

Just to clarify, I haven’t labelled the Fae experience and I don’t want to, I don’t usually tell people I have a connection to Faes
(Other than my pronouns lol)

I may have a different label than therian but I use therian cause it’s easy and I’m terrified to discover myself more cause I dunno I’m just scared

[olive dirge]

GG @gusty fjord, you just advanced to level 5!

[royal valley]

Alterhuman would be accurate no matter what you may be!! /info

[vocal flicker]

Comfort cencor by the way. ||Yoyoyo hiii everyone sorry if I'm late or anything (Idk ignore my panic and excitment mixing into brrrrr brain) but I might be an alterhuman of some degree? (Sorry if what I'm saying/how I'm saying it is in any way offensive, I promise I'm not trying to be) but I don't know what or how to find out because I've done quizzez (normally unhelpful) but they all told me 'no' or 'yes' but with an animal I don't feel like fits me. (We do have alterhumans in our system, but they are no help with my trying to figure this out)||
||(Also someone please tell me if I'm making a fool of myself right now lmao)||

[royal valley]

It might be easier to break down by figuring out what specific types on connections you have (ex. physical, non physical, emotional) and to what animals. There are more examples, but idk how to word them. There is actually a youtube video and I think it is called "Are you really a therian?" and a man goes over different alterhuman links that you could be depending on like what you feel. Sorry if this is bad wording, I don't really know how to word stuff...

But I'm alright atm

Its pissing me off ngl

[tiny obsidian]

Idk how to help myself either and neither do my friends

[cloud rose]

Maybe you could relax in bed or do something you enjoy? Just some suggestions

[tiny obsidian]

No matter what I do I end up going into a ||suicidal|| mood for an amount of time and then abt 10 mins later I'm absolutely fine and then a bit after I'm not ok again

[cloud rose]

Getting your mind off something would really help. Even if that's just watching a YouTube video.

Something that won't trigger those thoughts or that mood.

[tiny obsidian]

Yea

[tiny obsidian]

I don't understand why it's happening tho

[cloud rose]

Yeah I understand.

It could be anything depending on hormones, mental health, or events that's been happening around you. Cause of stress and what not.

[tiny obsidian]

Idk what's happening around me I haven't been focused on it I'm pretty disoriented from reality

[cloud rose]

Could be depression then.

It's alright though

Anyone here fae/fairy-kin or something similar?

[cloud rose]

I'm not but that's super cool!

[pastel sigil]

Hii! I'm not an alterhuman but I'd like to learn about it! All with total respect and understanding ❤️

[cloud rose]

Oo! Yesss! I love educating people on our identities and interests!

[pastel sigil]

What does it mean to be an alterhuman? What do you identify as? Is being alterhuman part of the LGBTQ+ community? Really, tell me everything you want to share!!

[cloud rose]

Being Alterhuman means you identify as something that goes beyond just human. This is usually caused by Trauma, Neurodivergence, religion, etc. I personally have a bunch of identies that I'll talk about seperately. Being Alterhuman has nothing to do with LGBTQ+ but a lot of Alterhumans are apart of that community as well!

[pastel sigil]

Wow!! Thank you for sharing I'd love to hear more about your identities if you're open to it. Also, how does your journey of self-discovery happen if you're an alterhuman? Are there common types of identities? What can you identify as beyond just human? And how do you know what it is you identify as?

[cloud rose]

For me I learned what an Alterhuman was from discovering a video and I got more into all of it. This led me to realize a bunch of things. My Alterhuman identities mostly stim from Neurodivergence. The most well known Alterhuman label is Therianthropy aka Therians. Therians are people who identity involuntarily as non-human animals. But they're a bunch of other labels! I'm personally a Otherlink, Fictionkin, Otherkin, Otherhearted, and IRL! Everyone's experiences are different some people have to seek out what it is they identify because they have traits they have that are of a specific thing. For me however I've never really experienced this much. I had behaviors of certain animals an I knew what it was already. As a Fictionkin I usually just have to be introduced to a character from a media and I'll learn everything about them and I start to feel and think as that character which is where the identifying as a fictional character comes in.

[pastel sigil]

Wow!! That is really interesting, thank you for sharing ❤️ I had never heard of people identifying as fictional characters. Do you have a specific name you use for each identity? Also, I'd love to hear more about your other identities. And how do they coexist? Is that experience closer to having multiple personalities/DID or closer to, for example, being genderfluid? Thank you for being open to answering my questions; if you'd like me to stop asking or if there's a question you don't want to answer that's totally okay. Also, if you'd be more comfortable talking about this maybe through DMs that would be good too

Also, do you explore your identities mostly based on behavior? Like, do you have natural behaviors of other beings and that's how you know you identify with them? Or is the identity closer to identifying as a certain gender (I'm genderfluid; that's why I'm asking 😋 )

[olive dirge]

GG @pastel sigil, you just advanced to level 4!

[cloud rose]

The names for each identify is usually up to the person. Ofc if your a fictionkin you'll just go by name of the character you identify as. There's this thing called shifts basically it's where you shift from your regular self to the thing you identify as. Not everyone has shifts though. I myself dont have many shifts because I'm a IRL. A irl is someone who has a Deliusional attachment to a character that they identify in the current present day. Fictionkins don't exactly experience the things IRLs do. Basically the behavior thing fits more people who are therians or otherkins possibly. Their therianthropy affects their behavior sometimes and the way they think. This only happens to fictionkins when they're shifted.

We can talk more in DMS I have to go to bed soon because I've got school in the morning and it's almost 11pm

[pastel sigil]

No worries! We can either talk here or in DMs, whatever is most comfortable for you. And don't feel like you need to answer all of my questions! I'm asking because you said you like teaching people about it Also, no worries, we can keep talking another day . Good night :))

[cloud rose]

Good night! I'll let you know when i can talk again!

[pastel sigil]

Please do :))

[flint sigil]

Yes

[flint sigil]

Heyyy

[cloud rose]

[hazy aspen]

Hii

[cloud rose]

:3

[crude lintel]

So apparently I’m a raccoon therian! I got a tail and I’m making a maskkkk!!

[idle lagoon]

Yay!!

I made a raccoon mask design a while ago

Can’t find the message :/

[halcyon marlin]

love to see multiple alterhumans here! its not very common to see disabled alterhumans when watching the online content (we barely watch anyways so we wouldnt really know 😭 )

[hazy aspen]

Yeee, I've seen a few disabled alterhumans online, but not alot

[halcyon marlin]

i wanna be a cool disabled furry & alterhuman creator one day auaua

i just have no idea when/where to start

[idle lagoon]

I saw one therian group on yt shorts and immediately recognised like a super popular park near where I live so that was cool

“Therian group” as in like a friend group but it’s one person’s account and a few videos have a bunch of people

[halcyon marlin]

woah

[hazy aspen]

Litterally 😭

[cloud rose]

Yess! I love seeing them as well! I post videos sometimes with my gear on and my forearm crutches on!

[halcyon marlin]

moderating a roblox game for alterhumans is absolutely insane, why cant people follow the rules, why do people get mad at me for doing my job /nav 😭

[cloud rose]

I feel that. I'm sorry they aren't listening to you and understanding. :(.

[halcyon marlin]

its like the simplest safety rules-

[cloud rose]

Aw :(.

[halcyon marlin]

these children dont know internet safety and its basically my job to make sure they dont share smth that could get them seriously hurt

[cloud rose]

Ooh yeah those kids are usually like 12 sadly

[halcyon marlin]

and sometimes its like 15+ yr olds fighting me over this, i dont CARE that youre 15+ i care that im not gonna get fired and that the game doesnt get banned

[cloud rose]

Yeah. I'm sorry about that. They should know better tbh.

[halcyon marlin]

common sense apparently isnt that common

[cloud rose]

Lot of people don't have common sense which is wild to me

[halcyon marlin]

sobs

[cloud rose]

:(.

[halcyon marlin]

its like a semi-popular game too, so i have to ban haters/trollers all the time, especially on the weekends. and thats apparently the only thing children think mods are good for

and im the only active mod most of the time

[cloud rose]

Yeah. I'm sorry

[halcyon marlin]

i have my friends to keep me sane

[cloud rose]

Is the game that one quadrobics games on roblox? Like children of the forest or whatever name is I forgot lol

At least you have your friends

[olive dirge]

GG @cloud rose, you just advanced to level 13!

[halcyon marlin]

yeah, children of the meadow

[cloud rose]

Yeah

[halcyon marlin]

im on there a lot of the time, since im procrastinating getting a real job 😭

but im starting college soon i think

[cloud rose]

Oh. I feel that lol

I can't start until next year sadly

[halcyon marlin]

i might be waiting until fall semester instead of starting this summer

[cloud rose]

Yeah

[spiral kestrel]

bonjour

i’ve finally started quadrobics again after like a year

it’s been uhh four days

i’ve been doing like regular gaits for quadrobics but not really jumps

somehow my jumps improved though

but i think i just have better flexibility bc i can keep my feet together

anyways

here’s my jump from today

[cloud rose]

Nice! It's looking good!

[spiral kestrel]

thank you!

[cloud rose]

Your welcome!

[hazy aspen]

Nicee

[halcyon marlin]

im making alterhuman emojis, any suggestions?? :3

[halcyon marlin]

who wants to see the emojis we drew :3

[idle lagoon]

Me!!!!

[halcyon marlin]

in order: phantom ears, horns, halo, snout + teeth, snout alone, teeth alone, wings tail, extra arms

in order: mental shift, species euphoria, species dysphoria

[idle lagoon]

Aaaa they’re so pretty!!

[tawdry kayak]

Yea, your art style’s really pretty

[halcyon marlin]

thank you

[tawdry kayak]

Would show mine but I don’t have any related to alterhumanity

[halcyon marlin]

you can put emojis in the aac chat if you want to!!

[tawdry kayak]

True

[idle lagoon]

Is it bad to walk on your toes with your knees slightly bent?? Cause it’s giving me a lot of euphoria and I’m hoping it’s not too bad for my joints

[flint sigil]

Ok first I love that idea. Second I don’t know

[idle lagoon]

Ok it seems to be fine as long as you’re careful :D

And it’s really fun

[crude lintel]

Hello!!! So I’ve figured out that I am a therian and otherkin :D

[cloud rose]

Oo! Congrats!

[halcyon marlin]

i and multiple other mods have quit cotm, the devs were ignoring safety issues, and then we got banned 😭

[cloud rose]

That's awful

I'm sorry about that

[halcyon marlin]

its fine

[cloud rose]

:(.

[halcyon marlin]

i just suggest un-favoriting the game, leaving the group, and stopping playing if you do play. since the devs arent trying to fix these issues, and are just trying to cover it up. /nf

[cloud rose]

Okay thank you

[halcyon marlin]

im not gonna bring up the entire drama here, because i dont want to get in trouble for it. but yeah, just a warning 😭

[idle lagoon]

What’s the game called?

[halcyon marlin]

children of the meadow

[idle lagoon]

Oh that one

That’s unfortunate

[cloud rose]

Btw if you want to DM me the drama you can totally do so! If your uncomfortable with doing so or may get in trouble that's totally okay you don't have to tell me of course!

[Reply to:](#1146271483425984513 message) Hello im new

[tiny obsidian]

Hru guys

[vocal flicker]

good thanks! wbu?

[outer pasture]

Make sure to get roles! /lh

[halcyon marlin]

anyone here like the idea of a horror-esque alterhuman hangout game, possibly with some lore and minigames connected to it? :3
we're planning to make a game and are just excited about it

[ruby scarab]

oooh, that sounds really cool!!

[halcyon marlin]

thank yew

i have so many ideas for it, and it likely wont be ready for a while

i think we're gonna use roblox if we can/still want to once we start making it and are donw with the planning stuff. so we'll have an all ages server, 13+ server, and a 17+ server if we do make it on there, which i think a lot of people will enjoy

[soft epoch]

Omg hii!!! I didn't think I would find an alterhuman chat on here!!!! Ahh I'm so excited. Hi 👋, I don't really have a chosen name yet but biological my is Mika. I'm a poly therian of 2 years and i sort of do quads? I make masks and my theriotypes are: Seawolf, cross fox, deer, and Magpie. 💚🐾

[soft epoch]

This is my form and my masks. I haven't practiced in a long time so I'm a bit wonky but yeah!

[vocal flicker]

super good and i love your mask so much!!

[halcyon marlin]

i wish i could do quads </3

[cloud rose]

I shouldn't be doing them because of my disabilitues but I do it anyway despite all the consequences

But I don't do it very often

[soft epoch]

Thx 😊

[idle lagoon]

I’ve been having a weird combination of phantom limbs lately and I have no clue what kinda creature it would be 😭

[tiny obsidian]

Thats better than me!

[halcyon marlin]

you could always be feeling it from multiple at the same time, also may be from alters in/near front if you have any that present like that in your sys

[idle lagoon]

It could be, but none of them align with any of our known kins lol

[halcyon marlin]

oh lol

[idle lagoon]

Ok last night I worked out what I look like- but it’s weird lolz

[tiny obsidian]

Hi alterhumans :))))))

[soft epoch]

Hiiiiii

[soft epoch]

Oop I’m back guys

Haven’t been on here in a long time

[cloud rose]

Same here! :3

[idle lagoon]

Wholeheartedly recommend making meme redraws of your kins

[soft epoch]

I’m almost finished my ears

That I’m making

Here’s my ref photo

I’m going to airbrush them

[idle lagoon]

Woah sick!!

[soft epoch]

Very affirmative

I prefer to call my hands “paws”

[idle lagoon]

Oh hell yeah

[soft epoch]

Guysssss I found another therian at my school in a total I’ve found 6?

[halcyon marlin]

nice!

im finally getting to work on making an alterhuman game on polytoria

it won't be super good for a while cause polytoria is still a work-in-progress game (similar to roblox) and doesnt have a ton in the game creator yet

im so excited to hopefully finish the map tomorrow

[halcyon marlin]

(if you're interested im open to questions, just ping me)

[idle lagoon]

Finished making these
