For fictionkin, fictives, fictional introjects, fictionflickerers, fictherians, and other sorts of fictionfolk and people who have experiences of deeply personal connections to fiction, one's source in fiction is not necessarily one's favorite story or something that one "vibes" with.

Many fictionfolk feel uncomfortable reading, watching, or playing their source because it feels uncanny to see their truth turned into pretend entertainment, or because the canon feels like it got things half right and half wrong, or how it portrays them. That can feel sort of like seeing something misreported on the news that you know didn't happen like that, or overhearing strangers talking about your private life. For people whose memories from another world turn out to be similar to a piece of fiction in this world, one can feel uneasy about the mystery of how that happened.

Some fictionfolk participate in the fandoms for their sources... carefully. Fans can get uncomfortably personal if you say you are one of the characters, so fictionfolk often choose not to talk about that in fandom spaces, only in alterhuman spaces. Seeing how fans reinterpret you in art and discourse can bring up all sorts of feelings. Some fictionfolk decide they won't look at their source's fandom.

There are fictionfolk who wish they didn't feel that connection to that piece of fiction. There are fictionfolk whose source is a story they always disliked or found offensive. Maybe they have a lot of thoughtful criticism, or maybe it simply feels disagreeable to them. Sometimes recognizing one's connection to fiction starts with exploring why a story bothers you so much.

There are fictionfolk who dislike the authors of their sources.

Some fictionfolk are experts on their fictional sources. There are also fictionfolk who recognized that their memories and feelings have the strongest similarity to a piece of fiction that they have had never even watched and would prefer to never watch. Or they watched just enough of it to recognize it and then "nope out" on watching the rest.

If I'm wearing a compression bra literally 24/7 until it cuts open wounds into my chest and creates pressure sores because of gender + species dysphoria, that is disordered behavior. This does not mean the solution is taking away the identity. The solution is fucking top surgery! (Yes, even if it was solely because of species dysphoria!!!)

Including some growls, roars, snorts and chirps

Still practicing. I don't often do vocals unless I'm absolutely shifted, which isn't that often either xD only if I feel entirely safe do I shift

These are slightly deepened, as my voice is high-pitched and I'm insecure about it but other than that, these are my own sounds :D

flag id: the left flag has 5 stripes, which are golden yellow, red-orange, dark dull blue, dull blue, and beige. the right flag has 9 stripes, with the first, second, eighth, and ninth stripes being half the size of the rest. they are red-orange, golden yellow, dark dull blue, dull blue, beige, dull blue, dark dull blue, golden yellow, and red-orange.

in the center of each flag is a circle, which has its own 3 stripes with the second being half the size of the rest, which are red, black, and white. the circle has a thick black outline and the therian symbol in red-orange within it. the symbol is a circle and a triangle placed on top of each other and intertwining with a small horizontal line in the center that does not touch the circle and triangle. it has a thin black outline. end id.

banner id: a 1500x150 teal banner with the words ‘please read my dni before interacting’ in large white text in the center. end id.

cyndaquil therian and species flags for anon!

•There's been a lot of discussion regarding making poc representation in the alterhuman community more prevelant, and an online alterhuman convention comes to mind for my being. My reasoning would be to help with fragmentation in the community, uplift poc voices, and give poc folks an opportunity to share their unique experiences. However, I want to see if there would be interest for this kind of event and how it should be handled.

Should we allow allies of poc to attend the event?

What kind of panels would folks be interested to see?

Should this be a one day event or two day event?

yeah in general i miss everything about myself :( -a deadly nadder
