Casperrr

After lurking for far too long we have decided to make an intro post !!

We (Casper) are the Garden of Monsters system, we prefer not to label our origins but we could be considered having “mixed origins”. I (Cadet) will be posting here most of the time, though others may pop in. If so, they will tag with their name.

Many of us are nonhuman in some form, I am many things including an alien, some kind of abstract entity of chaos, a cat, shapeshifter, and so on.

🌈Some important information !

•we are queer, and generally prefer gender neutral terms

•we use neopronouns, please ask if you’re interested, otherwise just use it/its

•we are neurodivergent

🌀Here’s some things we enjoy !

•art

•reading/writing

•music

•sciences (including spec bio)

•gaming

•anime and animation in general

•many other things (we have so many interests ;v;)

👁️Here’s some things we do not enjoy !

•capitalism

•sysmeds

•and more

(We do not tolerate hateful activity, and those we don’t like will be blocked)

⭐️Bye-bye now, safe travels <3⭐️

Sometimes I wish I only had one kintype. It’d make it so much easier to fit in with communities and I wouldn’t be afraid of being told I’m faking. And maybe if I only had one kin I’d be able to shift more.

Omg hii!! Thank you ^w^

Having to occasionally move our legs manually, zoning out constantly, chewing sideways, twitching involuntarily, forgetting to breathe

Yeah it’s because I’m not alive, definitely not because of the autism.

Our neopronouns differ from headmate to headmate but in general we use it/its

I however (Cazzic) use a lot, and it changes sometimes. But usually it/its, thing/things/ ??/?? Nor/mal are what I use :3

Anyway, I’m Maggot. I don’t really know how to format this so I’m just gonna start listing stuff.

I use any pronouns, I prefer that people switch it up a little, yk, have some fun with it. I’m genderfluid, gnc, and just generally queer. Uh I guess I’m pan and polyamorous? Haven’t really bothered to label that stuff.

I don’t really remember when I entered the collective. I think it was pretty early. I’m an octive from a story Cazzic made when it was younger. I’m sourcemates with a few other member; Benji and Zack. I don’t really have a “role” I just kinda hang out yk.

I wouldn’t exactly call myself a human. I *was* human. In my source I was a human man living in.. Boston I think? It’s been a while. But I died pretty shortly after becoming homeless (long story) and got some kickass scars from the people who killed me. Apparently I was an easy target for illegal organ harvesting haha. Got sent into the Otherworld, met Zack, and yadayada source plot.

Anyway I’m here now! I guess I should list some stuff I like. I have a fixation on medical stuff, mainly surgery related things. As well as like, gore imagery. I like mice and spiders. Though I don’t think I identify *as* one, I definitely identify *with* lab mice. I also have a lovely partner named Valentine. I’d like to maybe make a post with love about our relationship sometimes cuz it’s pretty interesting. I also love bein referred to as a freak and a bastard cuz my freak flag is very large and erect (haha.. I also like making probably inappropriate jokes)

Uhh maybe I’ll post again sometime idk. Feel free to ask me questions. Caio tumblrinos

I personally prefer to call myself funguskin over mushroomkin because I am both the mycelium and the fruit above ground. Plus I’m other kinds of fungus that many wouldn’t consider mushrooms like molds and (partially) lichen. I’ve always had a fascination with fungi, even before my awakening as them. The smell of dirt and detritus, and beautiful unfurling, twisting, clumping of them, and of course, their role in the ecosystem. I feel a deep longing to be part of that; I wish I could take part in the decomposition and nurture.

Shifts for me in regard to my funguskin are pretty interesting. They don’t happen often but when they do it’s usually when I’m already outside in the forest. It usually starts with me slowing down; sitting on the ground and my breathing slows almost to a halt. And, I guess the mental side of the shift, all my thoughts slow save for images of mycelium and mold, and the desire to assimilate with the nature I’m in. Rarely I have phantom shift but when I do I feel all kinds of types of fungus growing from the vessel, and my mycelium reaching out to everything around. I feel so beautiful then.

I think my identity as fungus contributes to my love of dead things. I love to collect bones and dead bugs; one day I’d love to start collecting full specimens.

I’ve thought about doing experiments with mold. I think it would feel so nice to, in some small way, be part of and watch the decomposition. Though I need to do more research on how to do it safely within my home. I also really want to make/buy some fungus related stuff (gear?) like more fungus-y clothes and jewelry. I also think it would be cool to paint mold n stuff on me with makeup.

That was a lot more ramble-y than I wanted but oh well :b I’d love to hear more from my fellow fungi !!

We may not post much for a while. We just have a lot of internal stuff going on and don’t really know how to/ if we should talk about it. But we are ok! Just doing a lot of self reflection and research ig.

I hope to be posting some alterhuman and related poetry! We go to a writers camp (Ironwood in Hindman KY for those in the area who are interested) and it’s really inspiring us to use writing more to express our existence.

Anyway, another update: we have an Unvale account! It’s mostly Cazzic posting there as the resident artist lol, but we hope to coax more collective members to create art! Our account is GardenOfMonsters6

-🥕

Anyway, deleted our yt account because honestly we’re just so done with this nonsense. I do encourage others to do the same but ik that’s not easy and I don’t judge people for still using yt. It feels quite good to be rid of this parasite. I really do see better things for us in the future due to this decision.

Welp, love you all! Don’t let yourself be trapped by corporations, you are a sentient being who deserves autonomy and freedom <3
