#alterhuman help

Hey alterhumans, need ya help. Would it be crazy to say I’m a puppy with wings?

For a longggg time I’ve yearned for the sky and have felt phantom wings similar to when I feel a phantom snout, I think, pretty much since I was very little. I’ve been trying to go through all kinds of creatures with wings to see if I’m kinning anything else, but I really just don’t think I’m anything other than a puppy. Nothing else feels right. Can I kin smth like that? Kinning a puppy with wings? Is there a name for this??

(Sorry if any of the terms I used are wrong, I get a little confused sometimes!)

what i mean is that when i look in the mirror i dont really see me i see a vessel that i control but didnt choose yknow, meanwhile my real body/my kintype self is locked away inside the vessel

is this just being a physical alterbeing? cuz im only recently thinking i might be one, and if so, is this part of it? cuz whenever i imagine myself i imagine myself as my kintypes doing whatever im doing but them i see my reflection and i remember "oh i guess i dont really look like that?" but also theres that disconnect from me and the person in the mirror?? it feels like the mirror person is a completely different person than me because they dont look like me, but also i can still recognize that to everyone else, the mirror person is supposed to be me

folks out there who are fictionkin AND fictives how were you able to tell which was a kintype and which was your source, is it a different sort of distinct experience/vibe or is it just innate, instinctive knowledge that differentiates the two

I'm a ctommyinnit fictive and idk this is just a question that's been burning into the back of my skull lately

If ur commenting just to say some bs about physical therians not being real, just scroll :3

I consider myself a physical therian, i dont use holothere bc i was told that it means to identify as nonhuman in every way, including biologically. I dont consider myself to have dog dna but i do transform into my theriotype and have the soul of a dog thats "trying to be free" by transforming me, but that dog is also me. thats the best way i can put it rn-

My questions:

1) I saw source that said physical therians are under the holothere label? Is this true, or are they like siblings?

2) I was trying to find a physical therian symbol and saw that ppl either use the holothere one or the transspecies one, are these the correct ones to use? Is there just not a symbol for them?

3) any way to simply explain physical therianthropy to someone who knows very little of it and is confused why one would want to be an animal? (This question is optional, just need some help explaining it to my gf)
