#pseudohuman

a term used to describe a being who may appear as human, but is not.

a symbol i made for this term.

note that i did not come up with the term, just the symbol.

using the greek letter for H (heta) and P (pi) i combined the two. the symbol is called heta-pi and is written as ͰΠ

An umbrella term for any beings(alterhuman or nonhuman) who appear human but something doesn't look right.

What "doesn't look right" about this being can be pinpointed or nearly impossible to do so.

Some examples can be, but are not limited to:

Shapeshifters with a highly preferred human form

Humans/Human-like beings with a sense of uncanny valley to them

Extremely human-looking AI + can apply to uncanny valley depending on the AI in question

Humans with minimal traits considered "unrealistic" - ie: Fangs, slit pupils, a functional tail, etc.

Pseudohumans

Human equivalent of not-deer

Very humanoid non-human beings (ie: some faes, vampires, etc.)

Something else one might use this term for

Whether it is a kintype or a linktype, it doesn't matter! This label is for everyone!

coining post for pseudohuman

I can look at myself in the mirror and still believe it, still say it, and know I'm right no matter what's staring back at me.

Thanks :) ✨

Hello!

I'm [use a 'types name or Sunchild]. Adult. He/it (Genderfaun). Autistic (prof dx, pro-self dx).

An adescriptive Pseudohuman from NW Yorkshire, UK. I also just call myself alterhuman for ease lol

Follows & likes from @kevin--of-desert-bluffs (Cw: blood, unreality and body/face horror).

I do not mind answering genuinely curious questions about my identity.

Not transID/transX or radqueer positive, DNI.

I coin terms sometimes I guess?

Theriform: @vadosevougha helped me to create this word when I was attempting to label my definition, so credit is due its way too. See the link for a full FAQ.

AUman: when you are a human from a different universe which is not currently depicted in a fictional setting in this one therefore not fictionkin, but also not factkin as your identity is unique to your setting. I understand there is significant overlap with Otherhuman and only use this personally, but others may use it too.

Chronoplace: when your hearthome is/you have an intense connection to a time period/specific date including fictional/stereotyped/idolised depictions of time periods. Alt: chronotype (this can also be used if you ARE a time period or date).

This can be related to another identity but might be less superfluous a term when isolated or when the feeling of longing for that time is more impactful outside of simply wishing to be somewhere familiar due to being X.
