Shoutout to fictionfolk who are different from their source in ways fandom doesn't tend to like.
Those who have a different orientation. Those who are disabled when their source isn't or vice versa. Those who are a different race or even species. Those who are a different gender, are intersex, are cis, or are trans in noncanon ways. Those who have different moral alignments. Those who barely are canon at all. Those who were in relationships that fandom considers a "bad ship". Those who hate and avoid being like their canon selves while the fandom can't seem to get enough.
You're not wrong for being you, it's not a crime to exist as yourself. You don't need to bend over backwards to please fandom. It's okay.

hot (?) take, but voluntary alterhumans and otherpaws might just be more punk than involuntary ones
please hear me out
expressing nonhumanity is (or at the very least can be) a very alternative, counter culture move. normative society limits people's self-expression, and one of the many things it prohibits is being animalistic. normative society puts humans on a pedestal and does everything it can to separate them from nature. being alterhuman is fundamentally going against that system by blurring those very lines it constructed
now, for involuntary alterhumans, expressing oneself is often a need, not a want
but there really are just mfs out there who choose to be unapologetically feral, not because they feel it in their core, necessarily, but because they want to
they actively aid the broader alterhuman community in propagating nonhuman self-expression and help us challenge the system, not because it's their only option, but because they saw it as an option and thought it was interesting enough to dedicate themselves to it
and that's so fucking punk!!!
we should be more thankful for our otherlinker, otherpaw, furry, and all our siblings in adjacent communities for popularizing our way of living, not because they needed to, but because they wanted to
they are so incredibly important, and we can't just forget that for the sake of "validity". they don't make us "look silly", they make us fucking stronger as a movement
Btw you don't have to stick around with people who don't accept your alterhumanity. You don't have to stick around people who make you feel gross or weird about it. You can be yourself and you can find people, even orthohumans, who will accept you.
We've seen a lot of 30 day alterhuman challenges around, which is awesome! I wanted to make my own, specifically to cater to alterhumans with connections to Pokemon! Feel free to change questions a little to suit your identity better, or other such stuff. The point of this isn't to strictly adhere to the challenge, it's moreso to get more works by pokemon fictionfolk out there!

Otherlinks ARE alterhuman. They are as much as alterhuman as any other alterhuman.
"They don't have shifts" And many alterhumans don't have shifts too. And also they CAN have shifts. I have them and I'm an otherlink + my first ever alterhuman identity WAS otherlink.
Also, you're putting down every alterhuman who doesn't experience shifts. Remember, alterhumanity is laying outside of identity norms to say the least. Many alterhumans identify with/as something (ex. nonhuman animals, mythical creatures, ocs, fictional characters, objects, concepts, plants, and much more.) but that isn't the requirement to be alterhuman.
