Let's talk about being alterhuman without being able bodied.

If you've never met me before, i'm a werewolf. I use the label of psychological otherkin, but nowdays I mostly just say alterhuman.

A lot of individuals in the community can relate to wanting to spend time in their natural ecosystem or habitat. Some of them don't live in a country where that habitat even exists.

Conceptually, I'm lucky. I'm surrounded by nature reserves that are an hour away at most. Some are much closer.

Every part of me wants to be out there, in the trees and bushes and soil, every week. I'm sure some of us ARE out there every week based on some of the responses I've gotten on my posts.

I can't be.

I'm chronically ill. Partly from birth, partly acquired later in life. My mobility is limited by my threshold for suffering. The more I move, the more i'll have to pay for it later. And those debts don't have an upper limit.

I would love to prioritise letting my animal out more, being in nature more, travelling more. Hell- even running. But not only would doing that wreck me over and over again, it would make it impossible for me to meet the demands and responsibilities of my human life.

As a werewolf, there's an internal pull towards more feral behaviour and imagery. But my chronic illness requires constant upkeep, constant maintenance. My wellbeing depends on frequent visits to professionals.

I've always dreamed of running off to a cabin in the woods. I'm sure many of you have. But it's patently impossible for someone like me, who relies so heavily on human healthcare to survive.

The truth is I wouldn't be able to function without humans to look after me. And I have responsibilities that come before my desires for freedom.

None of this stuff makes me any less of an alterhuman. Makes me any less of a werewolf. All of these smaller restrictions do add up to a certain kind of distance from the "ideal alterhuman" perhaps. But my identity has always been, and will always be, an internal thing for me.

I'm not a werewolf IN SPITE of being disabled.

"Oh I'm a cockroach!" +5 "Oh I'm a jellyfish!" +10 "Oh I'm MOTHERFUCKING DINOSAUR" +10

"I'm a mythical animal that's never existed until me" +10

BUT NO PRIMATES??????

NO MONKEYS??? NO APES??????? WHERE'S MY TROOP AT????

THE BIGGEST THERIAN GAME ON ROBLOX HAS NO PRIMATE ANYTHING

YOU HAVE A SEAL BUT NO PRIMATE??????

this is insane

So this galaxy creature that I am, I can't fully explain it, but I feel as though I'm full of stars. Like part of my body has some space within it.

You know Luna's hair from MLP? That's what it feels like. That's what I think I've been feeling moving around me?!

Now I have to know if there's any other otherkins who's experienced anything like this? Or who's identity is also related to space?

i

can't

stand

cleaning

cleaning my den and moving things around brings down my vibe so bad and i have a somewhat related issue with cleaning my bedding/toys and its partially related to my nonhumanity and partially to my autism

i cannot stand change in my space

ive noticed the family dog is the same way, she gets sulky when my mother decides to rearrange furniture

dogs are creatures of habit and comfort and i am definitely a dog
