Not human or Pokémon but a secret third thing

A space for human-Pokémon hybrids of all forms and origins to share their experiences, and for others to learn.

I’m your mod, Vanilla. You might know me from @humming-pokemon-helpers. Or you might not. I’m a Hisuian Zorua hybrid, an adult, and I use all pronouns except it/its. Any posts by me or commentary on confessions will be followed by #🐺🍦. I’ll try to keep the commentary to a minimum though. You could just find that on my own blog.

Some (//IC) ground rules for this space:

Please keep your asks and confessions PG-13, roughly. Think of what you might see in (useful, inclusive) sex ed for the upper limit. I’ll still tag those asks as #suggestive though.

No speculation on other people’s status as a hybrid or the like will be allowed. (For instance, a question such as “Does anyone else think that Skyla is a hybrid?” is not appropriate.) //These questions will still be posted from the inbox, just with a [This ask was deleted] response.

I reserve the right to delete questions and comments from non-hybrids that do not seem to be in good faith or foster helpful discussion. (E.g. “All hybrids are dangerous/violent”) //These questions will still be posted from the inbox, just with a [This ask was deleted] response.

If you’d like to ask me a question about my personal life outside of being a hybrid, please just send it to my personal blog. (Again, that’s @humming-pokemon-helpers.)

Anyone who feels the term hybrid applies to them is welcome here, including born, experimentally- or magically-created, and other forms of “true” hybrid, those who transform temporarily, eebies who identify with the term due to their human minds, otherkin, and more. Do note that if your ask specifically implies you are a naturally-born hybrid, I’m tagging that with #tw implied pokephilia. It’s not a slight against you (being my own background), but for the comfort of people from worlds with many differing levels of Pokémon intelligence and senses of ethics.

I don’t take post submissions. If you send an ask with a specific poll suggestion that’s on topic, though, I’ll run it.

If you sign off with an emoji or title, I’ll tag your asks as #❄️ anon or the like.

If you’re an ass or bigot otherwise I’m blocking you. Simple as that.

I look forward to working with and learning with you all! 🐺🍦//Important OOC notes below the cut.

Hey. If it’s in a natural wooded area with other Bidoof/Bibarel around, nothing wrong with engaging with those instincts!

A couple of walls… very impressive.

Huh… I knew Gourgeist had the capability to explode, but I hadn’t considered it’d be more of a natural thing for them! That’s on me!

How can I convince my friend to accept the fact that he's a freaking Chimchar hybrid? I'm pretty sure he's worried about The Implications but surely coming to terms with it would make it easier to deal with his powers instead of just ignoring them??

Hey. I agree it sounds. Pretty damn obvious. But this is something he’s going to have to come to terms with on his own. It’s especially not going to help if the moment he says “Hey, I think I might be a hybrid…” you’re ragging on him for not getting it sooner. Or sometimes people just deny things harder when it’s shoved in their faces.

I also have a human cold at the same time it suuuuucks

I discovered a while ago that apparently the reason I'm so warm all the time is that my body is trying to compensate for the lack of energy coming from outside heat sources when trying to heal me.

Aka, I have been pretty much told that setting myself on fire for 15 minutes a day should help keep me cooler throughout the rest of the day. Which both seems like it shouldn't work (yet it does) and is also kinda funny.

Wake up, eat breakfast, set myself on fire, take a shower, brush my teeth, brush my hair and fur, and check for done pin feathers. Seems like a completely normal morning routine to me!

I've sent something here about the being too warm thing before, I'd link it, but it was a while back.

I wonder how long it'll take for someone to point out who this is, lol. Staying on anon for the storm of it.

Okay, the hairstyling is one thing. Plenty of trainers match their Pokémon like that.

Mod suggestions for this: Good fur vacuum. They’re expensive but so worth it if you can save for one.
