Nonhuman expressions of affection are great. Purring. Exposing weak points as a show of trust. Head bonks. Preening and chewing. Nuzzling. Biting. Intertwining tails. Feeding each other. Little chuffs, chatters, beeps and squeaks. Fluffing up of feathers, fur or other things. Dancing to impress. Cleaning their fur, scales, feathers or skin. Sharing body heat. Ears pointing toward those you care about to show your full attention is on them. Slow blinking.

If you wanna become alterhuman, you can just become one. You can choose to become otherlinker, otherhearted or a system. Chosen identities and created systems are as valid as involuntary ones.

I just need y'all to know I would fight for each and every single one of you to identify exactly how and why you want to until the end of time forever. next time someone calls any of y'all crazy or invalid let me know so I can kick their ass. on god. sick of hearing my plural and nonhuman and fictionfolk siblings being discouraged and kicked down and drowned out. each and every single fucking one of you deserves to be precisely who you WANT to be. and to be loud and take up space about it. don't forget it

there is no such thing as faking being therian/kin/etc, by the way. even if you find out you're a different kind of kin, you still felt a connection to your previous kins. it's not bad to change and find out more about yourself. don't let anyone get you down.
