o my gosh yes!! I thought I was the only one :0

I thought I was a bat therian at first, and then thought I had a bat headmate instead, and then thought I was a bat petregressor.

Turns out, all three of those are somewhat true! Although, I feel better using the term "bat alterhuman" rather than "bat therian" just out of personal preference :3

For me since I am a bat cladotherian I don't necessarily have a specific look. However I imagine my looks will depend? Sometimes I feel more connected to more species than others, the main three being the Eastern Red Bat, Common Vampire Bat, and Townsend's Big-eared bat, however I always feel like I would have blue-grey eyes. When I am regressed through I am most likely either a fruit bat or a vampire bat as mentioned before. I don't do much when I am regressed, mainly cuddle with my colony (I collect bat plushies!! A group of bats is a colony :>) or sleep. Do you have any activities you like to do while regressed? I've never really talked to other regressors before so I would love to hear.

I've actually questioned Townsends Big-Eared bat before!! It's a small world, I guess!

Also, having a collection of bat plushies is really cute. I have 2 myself, but I don't know where one of them are :')

When I'm regressed, blankets are my favorites thing. When I'm regressed to a puppy, I could just sleep in comfy blankies allll day. When I'm a bat, I'm too hyper to just sleep, but I like to take blankets and pretend they're wings! I also like to peek my head out and pretend like I'm being mischievous and sneaky, even though I'd never hurt a soul :3

I'm very vocal and can find joy in pretty much anything, especially my stuffed bear Muffin :3 Really, I'm just a bubbly little batty!!

My identity as a bat and the fact I regress to a bat is not really connected? As a bat I am myself, but when regressed, my pet self is somewhat different from me? She (we even use different pronouns!) is a bat who seems to moreso resemble an anthropomorphic depiction of a bat (for example a fursuit :3). She doesn't have a set species but I assume she may be a vampire bat or flying fox? Do you have a set species when you're regressed? I would love to hear about it if you're willing to share :> /nf, pos

Oh my gosh we are so similar...

Like I mentioned, there's like, 3 bat sides to me. However, with me, my alterhuman identity as a bat definently stemmed from the other two.

When I first discovered I was a bat (I identified as a bat therian at the time), I would change my name (thought slightly) and pronouns during shifts. Instead of Sage, I went by Sageyz, and used It/Its pronouns (something I didn't use as a preferred pronoun at the time). This was also always accompanied by a littlespace type of regression, just how it is now.

I found a friend group with a lot of systems in it and thought I was one myself. At the time, I thought I had OSDD-1b, but that didn't turn out to be true. I have a post explaining it a bit here:

Anyways, I assumed Sageyz was a headmate of mine and treated it as such. I figured that instead of shifts, it was probably switches. Sageyz was (and is) also some sort of anthro-nonanthro mix and, evidently, a little. I'm not exactly sure of its species or appearance either, but when I was I therian, I was certain that I was a Myotis microbat, so I assume it is too.

It was very special to me, but once I realized I wasn't an OSDD system, I felt guilty and totally disbanded the system. I chalked it up to me just being a therian again, but realized the term pet regressor probably fit better. I still felt like I identified as a bat thought, so I started identifying as a bat alterhuman instead of therian.

Recently, after questioning what really happened with my plutal experience 2 years ago, I learned about the term "Imagian", a pluralhood where someone feels that their imaginary friends make them plural. I'm currently experimenting with this label and finally allowed myself to connect with Sageyz again. Two days ago, we even did a coloring page together! I felt bad for leaving it for so long, but itz always very happy. I know my other Imagis could take care of it while I was gone.

As for me, I am still a Myotis microbat (both identity wise and when regressed), but I am technically a hybrid because I have a leaf nose.

I look something like this!

(The color is kind of off in the first one, I'm a darker brown like the other two :3)

For a while I've just used the term "myotis" because I couldn't pinpoint a specific species, but I think I might be a Little Brown Bat.

Funnily enough, when I was a toddler, a Little Brown Bat flew into my room and we had to get someone to safely release it. I think this could even be the cause of my alterhumanity/littlespace as a bat, especially since I only found out the species of that bat in my room after I discovered my alterhumanity. Plus, it's a Little Brown Bat. I mean, it just makes sense doesn't it?
