I'm a wholly inclusive therian--feel free to ask me about therian history! Thought crimes arent real, real life animals can't consent, anyone who says they're plural is plural, being dehumanized is not good nor beneficial to ANY nonhuman, and "identifying as" is part of otherkin & therian's definitions! 😊✌️

We didn't actually know plural pride day was a thing, somehow (it's every 3rd Saturday of July).
So, happy plural pride day to systems and plurals of all kinds. Systems of all origins, structures, member counts, disorders or lack thereof; you are real, you are valid, and you have a place in this world just as anyone else. People will not always be accepting, but that goes for any identity. Their perception of you does not define you or your reality.
Shoutout to all the alterhumans who aren’t white. To all the alterhumans who are disabled. To all the neurodivergent alterhumans. To all the queer alterhumans. To all the alterhumans who aren’t schoolkids. To all the alterhumans who don’t speak English. To all the alterhumans who come from somewhere other than the US. To all the alterhumans who aren’t sure what they are yet. To all the alterhumans who aren’t out to their families and/or friends. To all the alterhumans who don’t fit in with the TikTok stereotype of what an alterhuman is “supposed” to be like.
we've collected twenty prompts to inspire reflection upon different aspects of animal identity that investigate how it relates to and interacts with other ideas of selfhood and existence. these prompts are flexible, and we encourage you to explore them in more abstract ways than just question-and-answer. jot down your thoughts on a prompt and then compose a poem in response to it. write a creative nonfiction piece or draw something that communicates how you feel to engage with your creative side. have fun with it!
the questions following each prompt are meant to provide a way into interpreting them, but are not the end-all-be-all of a prompt. there are no rules and no set order, just pick what resonates with you and have fun writing or creating art about what being animal means to you.
breathing - what does your body map look/feel like? what does it mean to be alive, to be an animal?
stillness - time stops and you feel yourself for what you truly are. what do you see and feel?
belief (spiritual / religious / philosophical) - does being animal relate to any spiritual, religious, or philosophical beliefs you have?
childhood - many of us report being animal from the very beginning. what were some of these experiences? did events in childhood further shape your being animal?
thunderstorm - the natural world is often especially important to those who are animal. write about a natural phenomenon that moves you in a way nothing else does.
predator / prey - are you traditionally classified as a predator or prey animal, or does your identity span both? why does one or the other feel right for you?
daylight - how do the sun and the waking world influence your identity?
night - how do the moon and world at night influence your identity?
biome - many of us have hearthomes all over the world and across different times. do you have one? have you been there? how do you know that this is where you truly belong?
weighty - what do you think has the strongest influence on your perception of self? is this something you can control? why is it so important to you?
love - what do you love about being animal? have you or would you like to forge close bonds with others like you? what makes being animal such a unique experience, and one that's worth having?
balance - being animal usually involves delicately balancing human life alongside it. how do you achieve this? do you think you've nailed it, or are there other methods you could try?
healing - has being animal helped you recover from past stress or trauma? does it make you feel safe? how has being animal improved your life?
patience / impatience - write about something you're waiting for.
discovery - we're always growing and changing, and thus always discovering something new about ourselves. take a moment to consider anything new you've learnt or are learning about yourself recently, and write how you feel about it.
a story - write your life story, as accurately or inaccurately as you want. try to fill a page. this could be creative nonfiction, a bulleted timeline, or a metaphorical creation myth for yourself. just have fun with it
softness - how has being animal made you see the world differently/has it taught you something? do you find it easier to relate to the land and fellow creatures? why or why not?
courage - we've all faced difficult things throughout our lives. describe a challenge you faced, and what it took to overcome it.
leaping - what is something you'd like to change about yourself? this could range from wanting to escape old patterns of behaviour to pursuing HRT. create a realistic plan for yourself to achieve such a change.
presence - you are here and you are alive. what are you thankful for in this world?
Not liking the food that your theriotype eats doesn't negate your identity. You're in a different body right now, and you feel taste differently than theriform animals of your species. It's okay to like different food.

I think many people on this app really struggle to identify when someone is clearly in a crisis. There have been multiple blogs over the years where someone is actually in a horrible spot and instead of just blocking, many of you keep provoking and provoking them until they eventually have a full breakdown. I have gotten multiple hate asks because I was not outwardly hostile towards someone in a crisis. or because i said it was fucked up to try and push people you don't personally like into psychosis. And it just keeps happening. I know half of the population here is either 14 or autistic enough to lack the awareness or context necessary to pick up on these tells but for the love of god. If someone is not directly harassing you, then just block them and move on. it's the same way people purposefully make animals pissed off for a laugh. it's not cute, it's not funny, and no matter how hateful someone is (assuming they are not harassing you), if they are in crisis and you poke at them for fun, I think you are disgusting. actually. You aren't pwning the bigots, it's not funny to watch you bully people. you just want to punch down on someone and feel powerful. And many of you do it on very fragile people already in crisis. It's disgusting.
¹ submitter's note: This might be a hard one to explain so bear with me. This doesn't mean how meaningful or *real* your experiences are there, your headspace can be 100% imagination/your minds eye and everything there *is* real, so please still vote accordingly. Also "minds eye" can mean a lot of things, but I'm mostly using that word because "imagination" feels demeaning, it can also be your minds hands, etc if you have aphantasia (like us).
edits:
1) changed "Don't have a headspace" into "Don't have a headspace / see results"
half chatting on discord, half simon working on his fic, simon's hit on an awful idea to torture "himself" in his fanfic, and is trying to piece together how he wants to do this, super focused.
daski, on discord: i need to find the barbie movie for us to watch, i owe the girls still XD
IRL friend, on discord: we own it, feel free to come over to watch it XD
we read this response.
allie fucking KOOLAID MANS into the sitting room shouting "IRL WATCH PARTYYYYY"
simon jumps a FOOT.
🤣 he goes to call her by her full name in frustration, and because he wasnt here when she was named, and only really calls her by allie, it took him a second to call up her full name from front memory and he goes "ALLIE…CEVIUS--"
then she comes up to apologize, but instead sticks her whole huge head in against his chest, playfully begging for forgiveness and also pets LOL
and he DOES start to give her pets, then realizes and is like "why am i giving you pets when you're trying to apologize to ME and im the one upset at you??"

Inky Paws is a nonhuman anthology zine for original fiction writings by nonhumans and alterhumans about nonhumanity, alterhumanity, and similar, related themes.
This zine is primarily literature focused, but will also be open to more illustrative methods of story-telling such as comics. The zine’s focus is on fictional pieces that are centered around nonhumanity, alterhumanity, therianthropy, and similar (see Submission Guidelines section for more details).
And more! If you're unsure, just ask! Seriously, please just ask. I promise I would 10000% love to hear about your idea even if you're unsure about submitting it, there is no such thing as a bad idea and I cannot stress this enough.
How to participate:
You can submit your pieces in this Google Form!
OR
Email invisibleotherkin(@)gmail(.)com with your submission, and please title the email "Inky Paws Zine #4 Submission". With your submission, please include:
The piece's title or name,
A name or pen name to attribute the piece to,
Any content warnings that you feel are necessary for the piece,
Any social media handle or personal website you’d like to be published alongside your name with the piece (optional), and
Any relevant author notes or author biographical information (optional).
Anonymous pieces are also welcome.
Once submissions have been collected and the deadline has passed, these submissions will be put into the zine and it will be posted online as a free PDF. Submissions are due by November 30th, 2026.
Please see the Submission Guidelines, and Submission FAQ, below cut.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:
Each individual may contribute up to 3 accepted submissions to be published in Inky Paws; individuals within systems may each submit 3 pieces, that is to say 3 pieces per systemmate/headmate/preferred term.
Comics and similar multi-part pieces count as one submission altogether: if you submit a single story that has been divided into two sub-stories for dramatic emphasis, or if you submit 10 pages of a single-story comic, or if you submit a written piece of fiction and an accompanying image that you drew or otherwise created to go along with it, that would still only count as one piece.
Submissions must fit the thematic criteria of:
Being explicitly about or based on nonhumans, otherkin, therianthropes, fictionkin, alterhumans, or similar groups, or;
Having strong themes or describing experiences strongly reminiscent of or related to nonhumans, otherkin, therianthropes, fictionkin, alterhumans, or similar such as (but not limited to):
Characters experiencing nonhumanity or alterhumanity as being a part of themselves/their identity,
Characters experiencing anything similar to a shift (including physical shifting),
Characters struggling with (emotionally, socially, or otherwise) being both human and nonhuman or alterhuman in some way,
Characters having a past-life as something nonhuman or alterhuman that strongly still impacts their current life, or
Characters desiring to be nonhuman or have nonhuman attributes.
TL;DR - Your submissions have to relate to or be about alterhumans or nonhumans in some way, shape, or form.
Written submissions must not exceed 7500 words, and must also use a reader-friendly font with a text size of or exceeding 16 pt.
For stories that use multiple different fonts, such as pieces meant to imitate newspapers and similar, every effort will be made to preserve the general "feel" of your piece but fonts may not be transferred over 1:1 due to potential conflicts with font copyright, readability, and overarching zine style.
Multi-part image submissions must not exceed 10 pages in length, and must also use a reader-friendly font with a text size of or exceeding 16 pt if they include text. Images larger than 8.5 x 11in. will be scaled down to an appropriate size; please take that into account when creating and submitting your images. It is also recommended that images be vertical or square in their orientation.
Written submissions should be submitted as a .docx file. Images and mixed media pieces should be submitted as either .jpg or .png files.
All submitted pieces should be your own work. Individuals caught plagiarizing or using AI within their submissions will be barred from participating in Inky Paws, including in any potential future volumes.
SUBMISSION FAQ:
Q: Where will this zine be hosted?
A: The zine will be hosted for free download on Itch.io, where issues 1, 2, and 3 of the zine are already hosted.
Q: What is the cap on submissions?
A: At this time, we are not looking to accept more than roughly 25 submissions at most, in order to keep numbers and expectations manageable.
Q: Can I update my application after submitting?
A: Yes, so long as the updates are submitted before the submission deadline!
Q: What is your policy on content moderation and content warnings?
A: If you feel your piece needs content warnings, please include them in the submission, as we are hoping to include relevant content warnings and maturity ratings alongside all pieces. We are at this time accepting pieces of all tones and ratings.
With that said, It should be noted that any items submitted with soapboxing intent and anti-nonhuman, anti-alterhuman, anti-fictionkin, or similar leans are largely not welcome, as this is a zine geared towards all aforementioned groups and then some.
Q: Can I submit an in-progress draft or sketch? Can I claim a spot in the zine before sending in my submission?
A: We are not currently accepting WIP pieces for submission at this time, though feel free to send us your WIP if you have questions related to its future submission. We also cannot reserve or guarantee a spot in the zine pre-submission, regardless of any existing drafts or WIPs.
Q: Can I submit a piece of fanfiction?
A: While we've now accepted pieces of fanfiction in the past, we tend to prefer to leave them out for legal reasons. If you submit a piece of obvious fanfiction, please know that it may be significantly more likely to be rejected from the zine and that, if the piece is accepted, the piece may be removed without warning from the zine later on if DMCA or legal issues arise. We strongly advise that individuals who wish to write something inspired by fiction make it non-obvious to the outside reader where the inspiration is being taken from.
Q: Can I submit something I've created in the past?
A: You can submit something you've created in the past, but please try to avoid submitting anything that you've published previously and is currently publicly accessible. For example, if the story you want to submit has already been featured in a different anthology, please don't submit it to Inky Paws! We want to encourage people to create new pieces, or to put the spotlight on pieces that haven't previously had the opportunity to be published.
Q: What is the projected timeline for this project?
A: Submissions will close by November 30th of 2026. The publish date of the zine depends on submission amount and size of submissions; in an ideal world, we hope to have the zine published by December, before year's end.
Q: Can I rescind my submission?
A: As long as you request to rescind your submission before the submission deadline, yes. After the deadline passes and the formatting and work towards publishing begins, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to remove your work from the zine due to time constraints and potential formatting issues. Please take this into account before submitting.
Q: Will there be any physical copies of this zine?
A: Due to cost restraints and a lack of printing experience on the part of the zine organizers, we have no physical copies of this zine planned for print. You are, however, welcome to download and print copies of the zine for personal use.
Q: Who are the organizers of this zine? Where can I reach out to ask further questions?
A: Who-is-Page and Noel Sol of the Sol System are organizing this zine. Feel free to send us any questions, comments, or concerns to invisibleotherkin(@)gmail(.)com, or you can always message us on Tumblr at Who-is-Page.
need a dino horror story in which a raptor is given one of those boards with buttons that people use to communicate with their cats and dogs, it turns out to be far more sapient than any of the scientists expect, but they continue to ignore the raptor and treat it like a dumb animal, until the thing finally snaps and eats one of them, with the final twist being that it's learned to imitate human speech

Exotrauma refers to trauma related to events that did not happen to the physical body. The clearest example would be a fictive who struggles with nightmares and flashbacks regarding the events of their canon. These memories may be analogies for or otherwise related to trauma that the body has gone through, though that is certainly not always the case (it isn’t for us).
So, how do you support someone in your system who has experienced exotrauma? In a lot of ways, trauma is trauma, and supporting them is like supporting any other survivor of trauma. However, there are also a lot of ways it is a weird, unique situation, and we’d like to give our strategies that have helped?
