I just mentionned in an alterhuman serv that I was questionning a songkin/fictionkin identity and people reacted like "Is that possible ?" That one is okay, it’s okay not to know, just annoying people in alterhuman communities for months or years don’t know anything except therian.

Other people were like "Oh that’s too complicated… in my time we only had therians and mythical creatures" or even "It doesn’t feel right to me that people identify as something that’s not real". Thanks ya pals now I don’t even feel safe in my own goddamn communities. Sure y’all liked us better when the host was just a fox therian. I won’t miraculously stop identifying as something because it’s not is the teeny tiny window of what you consider palatable.

Hey therians. Unfriendly reminder that your communities were built by otherkins. Werewolves and fairies and elves and aliens. Seems like some of you forgot that. Now these people feel as alienated with you as they are with humans.

Non-therians have it hard. I’ve been fakeclaimed by folks because "You can’t be something that doesn’t exist". I can’t find safe spaces, have to explain what I am half the time (honestly that one is not a problem since I’m a yapper), feeling constantly left on the side. People use animal-centric language because sure if you’re not human you’re an animal. A living animal- a mammal - a carnivore - let’s say it, a dog. Just I’m not a homo sapiens doesn’t mean I have paws and a snout. We can’t find euphoria tips, gears, we’re constantly forgotten. These are the same for therians with rare theriotypes, monkeys, herbivores, invertebrates, birds.

Otherkins and fictionkins and therians with rare theriotypes have it hard, but don’t get me started on factkin, conceptkin, otherhearted, songkin, plantkin, objectkin. CONSTANTLY FUCKING EXCLUDED. It’s therian this and therian that and sometimes otherkin and the rest is forgotten.

Ok don’t get me wrong. I love my therian brothers and sisters and sibling and friends and elders.

But if y’all therians really care for your non-therian pals you’d better show it right now.

A purple Spock stimboard/mood board dedicated to @greenblooded-freak <3

I was reading the book The Pandora Principle and thought that this passage also is relevant to existing as a non-human living on current-day earth.

There is a lot of discussion on here about learning to co-exist and appreciate humans and I found that Spock's words to me here reflect what it is that I have, with time, come to really admire about Humanity.

(Sorry maybe I already asked, I have bad memory)

dysphoria tips for a vulcan:

try analyzing literature, specifically focusing on appeals to logos/logic

try to learn more about math. the complex rules can be interesting

similarly, research psychology. learning how and why the brain functions the way it does can help you understand humans from a more logical perspective

work on conflict resolution skills so you can promote non-violent, logical resolutions

pursue knowledge and research on any subjects that interest you

learn about different philosophies and ethics codes

Like for two very specific reasons which i will explain

1. Im a rocky kin.. that probably explains itself very well

But my more "abstract"/"confusing"/"weird" reason

2. Someone made a headcanon that the reason why vulcans used the "vulcan salute" was because earlier evolutions of vulcans only had 3 fingers/normal vulcans only have 3 fingers and spock being a half vulcan half human had 5 so to appear more normal he would just constantly keep his fingers together to represent full vulcans 3 fingers!!

Could you make a Vulcankin (Star Trek) moodboard with dark blue, purple, ochre and/or gold colors and spatial/alien and/or cosmic/mystic/whimsygoth themes ? Maybe with stars, flying saucers, night sky themes too ?

For the element posing (I dunno the name but the grid/assymetrical/sunray thing) IDC they’re all very pretty ^^

(I have memory problems so maybe I already requested… If it’ the case sorry I didn’t mean to spam ya)

Thank you in advance, live long and prosper !
