WELCOME 2 THE STARS [INTRODUCTION POST]
[updated regularly!]
Howdy! I go by primarily Astro(short for Astraeus, but my religious anxiety doesn’t let me actually go by Astraeus :c my self-insert/sona guy’s full name is though) or Wolfe(pronounced ‘wolf’) (also highkey wanna go by Orion but I fear I’m a little too late to change things LMAO…I also go by Dragon on discord if you care) and I use he/it pronouns (they is also alright) :3 This is my only blog(aside from very work in progress rp blogs, the only one active being my silly dispatch oc(@arterra-sdn)) and I post pretty much anything on here, but mostly art and alterhuman stuff. And also whatever shit is on my mind, completely unfiltered because I don’t have a filter built into my brain.
*Please note that I’m a minor.
hyperfixated on transformers + trepang2 as of current so you’ll see a lot of that
[DIVIDER CREDIT]
Also please specify sarcasm when talking to me! I’m HORRIBLE at detecting it both online and in real life. I also have a fluctuating southern accent and I type like my accent sometimes so please let me know if you need clarification on what I say lmao
be warned I use dude/bro and such gender-neutrally a lot and also sometimes use partner platonically(like in a cowboy-y way…)!!! please tell me if you don’t want me to do that for you and I will try my best not to!!!
note: even if I look inactive I answer to communications very quick generally! I may not post/reblog for a bit sometimes but I am present :-) asks always open and appreciated
MORE BELOW THE CUT
[MINOR FLASH WARNING!! the bottom of the post contains blinkies] also apologies in advance for the amount of caps that is unfortunately how I show my excitement
✧★ ABOUT ME !!! ★✧
as already mentioned, I go by mainly Astro (or Wolfe, but in all honestly Astro is used waaay more) !! Sometimes known as Star/Starry but that’s more of a past thing…
I have been an artist for my entire life and I also have been animating since late 2019-ish :D I post art on here sometimes I think
I am a minor(in high school).
I’m a furry + wolf/dog kemonomimi !! you can find my fursona here if you’d like to see them.
^you can find my other main sona(weird ass werewolf vigilante guy) here I also have an (technically inactive because I’m scared of people but always open to interaction+asks) RP blog for him @lupusignis !!
I am type 1 diabetic but I don’t really mention it unless it’s my LOUD VIRTUAL COMPLAINING about my dexcom doing weird shit lmao
I’m also alterhuman/nonhuman !! I do not consider myself human on any level…my known identities/labels are—
Cryptidkin/monsterkin. Likely psychological and somewhat spiritual(link to nature) also holothere I think.
Dragonkith/hearted
Spacekith/hearted + pROBABLY kin someway but I dunno
Angelkin(spiritual+somewhere in the gray space that can’t be put with a word+holothere probably)
Dromeosaur, haven’t figured out the specific species still. Most likely otherspin.
I also refer to myself as a (non-shifting) werewolf but I don’t really use the werewolfkin label. so werewolfkin/holothere I guess yeah
questioning a lion and deer and slugcat(Rain World) theriotype. not really looking into it atm though I’m just putting here for logging sake I guess
something?? with unicorns??? I think???? it’s sort of an on and off thing idk if it’s kith or kintype or anything
Wolf. Not label specific I’m literally just a wolf guy. Cryptid wolf.
My soul is also?? Kind of intrinsically tied to cowboys and the old west??? Like a deep connection???? I dunno if that’s an alterhuman thing or just another weird me thing [update archetrope fits this I think]
Psychologically, spiritually, and physically canine; heavy on wolves and working dogs.
^ That being said, even if I identify on such levels, I am in fact aware of my physical form being human. I am mentally ill and I do think it affects my ahumanity but not in terms of delusion n stuff personally
some other miscellaneous labels that describe me …
ahuman
malomasc (?)
wolfnatured
spacenatured
stupid wannabe cowboy n also I REALLY like horses - I’m also Texan.
I really really like 60s-90s rock music hehe
punk(working a battle jacket!! will post photos when I’m done if anyone wants to see it) + beastpunk and genderpunk I think
aromantic asexual + agender spec trans man + maybe I think MLM/gay I don’t even know man
^ my gender is oddly complex but as a general statement I am a dude
I do have severe GAD so my apologies if I take a while to respond to something!! I also have PTSD(no formal diagnosis, but tons of evidence + acknowledged by a therapist), and am suspected to have autism for numerous reasons but I do not have a diagnosis. Also I have no specific chronic pain diagnosis but I am in pain…all the time…my entire life…chat help
^ part time cane user due to said chronic pain :P
also diagnosed with ADHD?? I think??? the place I got evaluated that got me the diagnosis + my OCD diagnosis was kinda weird tbh
definitely also mentally ill but I don’t got specifics or anything. I’m a little generally unstable + diagnosed with OCD though. just a warning in case I rant about it sometimes OCD sucks lol. I also get some delusion-type issues sometimes sorry if that comes up in my posts
my special interest is paleontology(heavy emphasis on animals like dinosaurs)!!! since I was like 2!!!
I’m super interested in the historical “wild west” and I have been for years and I know a shit ton about it aghhhh yeah I might ramble about it sometimes…same with dinosaurs/other prehistoric animals
also I like both red dead redemption games a lotttt on the topic of my wild west interest
also also I really like old westerns n stuff. westerns in general actually. Fistful of Dollars trilogy is really cool. watching Preparati la bara ! / Django, Prepare a Coffin next when I figure out how to if one cares very excited
I REALLY LIKE JETS AND PLANES AND HELICOPTERS AND STUFF. I CANNOT YET IDENTIFY MODELS AS EASILY AS SOME PEOPLE BUT I AM VERY INTERESTED IN THEM AND THEY ARE REALLY COOL
really interested in space if the blog theme didn’t make it obvious hehe. space is deeply intertwined with my soul in a way I do not know how to properly describe it. currently looking into astrophysics :3 said interest does in fact extend to spaceships. I have been compared to LEGO Movie Benny more than a time I get really really excited about spaceships Benny is so real (my favorite rocket is Saturn V!)
transformers!!! my current fixation(the robots are stuck in my head) ALSO TREPANG THE FIXATION HAS REAWAKENED AND THIS TIME AFTER MISSING EVERY SALE FOR LIKE YEARS I ACTUALLY HAVE RHE GAME I’M LSOFNYN ITFKRJGJCNT
also love pacific drive(game) also love ultrakill

I’M ALSO NOT NORMAL ABOUT PROJECT HAIL MARY YOU SHOULD READ THE BOOK(/nf) IT IS REALLY GOOD AND SO IS THE MOVIE AND EVERYRIME I HEAR IT MENTIONED I EXPLODE I got so excited when I heard there was a movie adaptation and I will probably never be able to sit through any other three hour long movie lol
I also like Formula One :-) I am not very knowledgeable on it though in all honesty. motorsports are pretty cool. funny enough I am awful at watching sports with family(ex. the Super Bowl) yet I will watch/listen through full old recordings of F1 races while doing stuff haha
I know DNIs are considered pretty useless, but you know. Worth a shot. DNI if beastiality, dark/proship, NSFW/k!nk blog(ESPECIALLY if it’s images/videos/gifs…text posts is cool as long as it’s not like the only thing you post), radqueer(transabled, necrophil3, etc), TERF, pro-I.C.E., Trump supporters/MAGA, or basic DNI criteria

No. I know this is probably just a casual commiseration but I think it's a real and important question to ask and answer. If doing the stuff you're expected to do everyday is super hard, then something is probably wrong.
Anyone who relates to this too hard, I'd recommend looking up spoon theory and starting to make a record of how you feel and your experiences that you can bring up with some kind of health professional. Chances are if doing laundry feels like climbing everest, it's because you're disabled in some way. Whether that disability is some invisible chronic illness or depression or ADHD or burnout, *something* is wrong.
Almost all disabilities have some form of treatment or accommodation that can make your life easier. If you can get a diagnosis, you might also be eligible for official accommodations and benefits. Social security sucks ass and is almost impossible to access but like, it's not the only thing out there set up to help disabled folks and usually local organizations are gonna be better anyway.
Plenty of people reblogging this probably already know they're disabled in some way but if even 1 person sees this and can learn something important about themselves then it's worth saying.
TLDR: people who aren't disabled don't find acts of daily living extremely hard. Maybe look into that and see if you can get help making your life less hard.
This is super important okay. Like, I used to try to ask my conservative family/church/etc. for help, and they’d just be all, “suck it up; life is hard for everyone; quit being such a baby”... and then I went to, like, actual experts, and they were basically like, “um, wow, you’re clearly super depressed and suicidal; you should actually be proud of yourself for still being alive!” And I’m still trying to unlearn the former and accept the latter, even after all this time. And I’m so mad that I’ve wasted so much time just trying to “push through it” instead of getting help I clearly need(ed), and that’s still a thing I struggle with.
Please, please seek real help if you need it. Like, I understand that there are shitty doctors and shitty therapists and whatnot, but it’s so worth expending what effort you can to find good ones who can help. If you have mentally ill friends -- which, if you’re reading this in the first place, you almost certainly do -- they might be able to point you in the right direction.
I have a friend with insane ADD and we have this same conversation sometimes
She can't actually even define laziness (which is weird) but she thought she was just lazy, life was that hard for everyone, and that everyone else was just being more responsible at managing it. I told her laziness feels good once and she blue screened.
Like if you can't define laziness, you've probably been convinced it's something that it's not. Probably something nebulous and hard to describe. Like, idk, an unknown disorder.
In case you're one such person, laziness feels great. It's not stressful. It's like the opposite of stressful. If you're being stressed and lazy at the same time you've managed to do it wrong somehow. The only struggle in being lazy is wanting the tv remote and being to darn comfortable to want to move. (But you get it anyways, because it's not an inability to get the remote. You were just cozy.)
Think of it like a cat sitting near a warm heater or a hamster so relaxed it "melts". If there were danger, or if the animal were hungry, it would get up. It probably doesn't want to get up because it's comfortable but it will. If the hamster is actually genuinely hungry but it can't get up and it's just laying there stressed and starving, you would take your animal to the vet because it has a problem.
That’s how it was for me growing up, too. I seriously thought everyone was constantly exhausted, confused, and in pain like I was and I was just really, really bad at dealing with it, didn’t want to try hard enough, and was just lazy.
Additional gentle reminder that the regular amount of unidentifiable/unexpected pain is none. The normal amount of unidentifiable/unexpected pain is none.
Sore the next day after a workout? Makes sense.
Sore for the next week after a workout? Not normal.
Barked your shin on a low coffee table and have an ache/bruise? Expected.
Gently brushed past the doorframe and your arm feels like it's on fire? Not normal.
Joint pain in your teens/20's is not normal. Heart problems in your teens/20's are not normal. Continual (AKA chronic!) fatigue despite diet/sleep schedule is not normal.
If you cannot point to an event or series of events that caused the discomfort/pain you are experiencing ("I fell off my bike", "I walked 3 miles", "I slept poorly", "I haven't been getting all the nutrients I need"), it's probably not normal! And it is okay to want that discomfort/pain to stop, even if it's mild! Most people are not going through their daily lives consistently uncomfortable or in pain.
Most people are not going through their daily lives uncomfortable or in pain.
You deserve to be comfortable and to have things be easy. Whether that looks like readjusting your life and expectations or getting professional help (medical/mental/other), you deserve it. I promise.
btw anthropic's internal document on this literally said "we don't want it to be known that we are working on this.”
it was called project panama.
here's exactly what happened:
1: anthropic concluded that books were the cheapest way to build a world-class model because they gave claude curated facts, structured arguments, compelling stories, and writing “an editor would approve of.”
2: once anthropic decided it needed books at enormous scale, its first solution was piracy.
it downloaded 7m+ books from online libraries including libgen. the judge later wrote that although anthropic had legal ways to buy them, it chose piracy to avoid what dario amodei called the “legal/practice/business slog.”
3: that piracy created a massive legal risk.
so in february 2024, anthropic hired tom turvey, the former head of partnerships for google books, to find a legally safer way of obtaining “all the books in the world.”
4: turvey first contacted major publishers about licensing their catalogs.
those attempts didn’t produce agreements, so anthropic chose a route that required no publisher permission: buying millions of physical books through distributors and used-book retailers.
5: within about a year, anthropic spent tens of millions acquiring and scanning millions of books, including many rare and 1/1 titles. one vendor proposal targeted 500,000 to 2 million books in six months.
6: to scan that many books within months, the vendors physically dismantled them.
a hydraulic cutter removed each spine. the pages were trimmed to size, fed as loose sheets through high-speed industrial scanners, and converted into searchable PDFs. the paper remains were then sent for recycling.
7: these PDFs were fed into claude as training data.
the complete collection became a private, searchable anthropic library that the company planned to “store forever.” the scans aren’t available to the public and were never open-sourced.
A lot has happened with this case since last year when info about the amassing of books in print by Anthropic broke. I initially found the below updated article from the Authors Alliance (case file linked at the top of the article) published last month:
Yesterday, Judge Alsup released his decision on Anthropic’s motion for summary judgment in the fast-moving lawsuit it is defending, brought
Update in September of 2025:
A U.S. district court is scheduled to consider whether to approve the settlement next week, in a case that marked the first substantive deci
Update as of yesterday:
Some say the $3,100 per title payout is small compensation for what they view as big, ongoing threats from the makers of generative AI model
Note: the legal conversation is all around copyright and fair use, not about the evils of mishandling the mere physical possession of books (according to Anthropic, the digital version of their scanned library exists within their company in the original scans) or any disregard of their value as such. I still hate that but yeah, there aren't laws about how to handle book collections.
Use 1337x.to rarbg or rutracker, highly moderated public torrent trackers, because Pirate Bay has long been shut down, unmoderated, and cloned by some shady actors AND use Mullvad VPN (or any other vpn but mullvad is the best definitely) to protect your ip address while you torrent, bind it to qbittorrent and do not use utorrent anymore either because it is littered with adware.
OR if you don’t want to pay for a VPN, use direct download or streaming sites. Please y’all just take one pass through on the r/piracy or r/freemediaheckyeah mega threads to find whatever you want for free and also not infect your computer with Trojan viruses.
If any of those terms made you go ????? and you think pirating must be So Hard, I wrote a verbose but easy to follow guide a while back for total beginners!
Pinning this since I genuinely think Piracy is a great skill to have and I want to share it with anyone who'd like to see it

Fun fact: In several European countries where the drinking age is 18, and the age you can get a driver's license is also 18, there's a window of time where someone who just turned 18 and doesn't have a driver's license to use as an ID yet will simply use their passport. Shitfaced and unsupervised just-newly-legal-adults teenagers from the heart of central Europe showing up in Canada because someone thought "hey let's go to Texas lmao" and nobody was sober enough to say that that's a terrible idea.
I’d like to add that in Germany the legal drinking age for beer, wine and drinks with similar alcohol amounts is 16 (14 if you’re with a legal guardian) and 18 is the age for anything with hard alcohol.
You can also get a license at 17 but are only allowed to drive with a designated adult (that has a license and is noted on your temporary license, if I remember correctly)

The really funny part is that many modern sources that want to gas up Sparta will bring up this specific anecdote, but stop at the "if" and just not mention what happened immediately afterwards.
The worst person you could ever meet in your lifetime still has a favorite breakfast cereal.
I knew a rapist who was an absolute ride-or-die friend to his gamer bros. Like, give the last dollar from his pocket to a friend who got a flat tire, and then turn around and go rape a Freshman that evening.
I knew a vicious child abuser who wept like a baby when her dog died.
The nastiest human being on the planet nevertheless feels obscurely melancholy sometimes, or has high spirits when they step out doors on the first warm day of spring, or has opinions on their favorite TV show and which side the toilet paper should hang on and whether or not the room should be cold or warm when you go to sleep.
We're all still just people. Complex, with fully-realized interior worlds.
None of that will save you from becoming a monster, if you decide to do monstrous things.
None of it makes you exempt from the consequences of monstrosity.
Some may even say that the most insidious abusers and terrors are able to become that way because they possess just enough Daily Relatable Content To The Average Chump that the folks who aren't their outright targets keep thinking stuff like, "haha, ooohhh him." And he therefore stays powerful and unaccountable and able to wreak havoc for another day.

Please read this because it is EXTREMELY important me (a transgender man) and to other trans individuals.
The US Government is currently trying to pass an incredibly dangerous national law for trans youth called HR 2616.
This bill would ban all Federally funded schools from teaching about gender identity or sexual orientation, prevent teachers from using the correct pronouns and names for trans students, remove books with any trans representation in them, and even go as far as to prevent teachers from acknowledging trans identity AT ALL.
Any school that does not follow this will lose all federal funding. This bill would also require teachers to forcibly out trans students to their families, which would be fatal to any trans student with a transphobic Family or just hateful family in general. Trans people are already a group that already has some of the highest rates of being victim to suicide, domestic violence, and sexual assault.
This bill actively makes teachers put those innocent children at such a big risk. This bill has rapidly passed the house this week with support from all 209 republicans, as well as 8 democrats. But, it's still being voted on in the senate, which means there is still time to help stop this.
To help stop this, you can visit 5calls.org (look up 2616 in the search bar), one of the most top issues filed Oppose Attacks on LGBTQ+ Students. Once you put in your general location, it will pull-up contact information for your senator, and give you a script for calling them.
If you are a minor and/or do not feel comfortable doing this, PLEASE repost this on here, or any other platform you are on/can find! This needs to be heard and fought against.
