Hello, I’m Norman. I’m a 22 year old disabled, mixed alterhuman man from Appalachia, specifically Western MD/Eastern WV. I’m back to being most active on tumblr as I’m no longer finding community in the other therian/otherkin social media spaces the same way I used to, and got locked out of the new account I had made yet again.

I am multiply disabled (visually impaired, hard of hearing, neurologically impaired, MSN autistic) so excuse any wonky messages or crazy typos from me. If I don’t see/respond to something, it’s not personal!

As for my kintypes, I am a horse (most connected to thoroughbreds and Old English Black horses), Sphinx-type (mythology, not domestic cat breed) forest spirit, pikeman (Rimworld), Rough Collie, and questioning Namekian. My kithtypes are European Ambersnail, domestic cat, and F-14. Despite being most known in the community by my Eastern coyote identity, for many years I have questioned whether it is a kintype or strong kithtype.

I mostly use “alterhuman” to describe myself. While therian, otherkin, objectkin, and fictionkin are also accurate to me, I do not personally use them to describe myself as much, and alterhuman feels very catch-all to all of my experiences.

My special interests are new wave music, domestic animal behavior (and working animal training), domestic animal nutrition, rad sci, genetics, and virology.
