^ specifically this thing (a medieval type unicorn)

i still dont know whether its a kintype or a copinglink, but ive realized i dont really need to figure it out now. its here, it makes me happy, and thats all that matters. tbh im still kinda upset that i have another 'type, but after thinking about it for a bit it makes sense. three has always been my lucky number, after all.

so! lets get into specifics. i havent drawn my form just yet (mainly because i cant draw unguligrades without heavy referencing to save my life lmao), but after a lot of thinking ive found that i can take two primary shapes: full unicorn, and satyr/faun. both are part of the same kintype: i dont know if its because im a shapeshifter creature, or because its my unicorn brain trying to adapt itself to a human shape.

[oh, and by the way, this 'type is completely psychological, the same as all my 'types. nothing new here]

i dont know much about my appearance. im a medieval unicorn, of course, with a deers body, long lions tail and goats cloven hooves. my legs are long and thin, and my head is shaped like a horse. i think i have a mane, but im not sure. i have a horn on my forehead, though its curved and not straight like in most depictions of unicorns. my eyes are clear (dont know the color yet), i have a beard in my unicorn form (not sure about the faun form though) and my ears are bigger than a horse's (i think they look a bit like deer ears). one particular detail i know for some reason is that i have a black spot on my upper lip. i might have more black details on my body (the tips of my ears maybe?), i dont know.

theres a lot i don't know about this kintype, and that frustrates me a bit ngl. i dont know anything about my diet, my habits, my habitat or my abilities. i dont know if i have powers, or why i can change my form. i have almost no instincts to speak of, and havent had any mental shifts yet. all i get are envisage shifts (sometimes even phantoms), little flashes of what i look like and feelings i cant put into words yet.

i know things will start to make sense in due time, but its hard to be patient. ill figure it out eventually, i know. i just have to wait.

I hope you like it! I took inspiration from my kittenkin flag and I used a cat vector from pride-color-schemes megafolder!

Other cat flags below the cut!

So I’m coining 3 new alterhuman terms that I feel apply to some of my experiences.  

Term 1

Quoitype- You know something is alterhuman but you don’t know how. It could be a kintype, synpath, hearted etc. You don’t know what category of alterhuman your type fits into just that it is somehow alterhuman. Different to a paratype as paratype is doesn’t fit into any category, quoitype is you don’t know the category. Meant to be more of a permanent label rather than a stage of questioning but you can use it as either.

Term 2

Multitype- Some that fits into 2 or more alterhuman category such as a character being both a hearted and kintype. Can be used for any combination of alterhuman identities.

Term 3

Shardbond- Something that has a piece of your soul within it. Basically at some point in time your soul broke into multiple pieces. A shardbond is someone/ something with that other piece. Could be a fictional character, OC, animal etc, just like any other alterhuman identity.
