WE ARE AS LIKE A RIVER, SISTERS...

compared to THE GREAT SISTERHOOD. We, as like all of womankind, must return home to the great sea of dreams from whence we came. And yet, before we do return, we will change the mountains, the soil, the dirt of the massive civilization of mortal men and women.. we have been sent out into the world with a yielding but intense Dharma. Our Great Work, Our Dharma has just begun.. it will take a thousand years to complete and the real lives of tens of thousands of elven sisters (men and women) to fulfill. We are so glad to have you with us, so glad, so glad..

(beneath title and image 1)

And that you haven't as yet, begun to take your place; and have other more pressing matters to attend to.. well sister, we all shine on. What we do reveal is all, but to read and comprehend is quite different from truly intuiting and overcoming inertia.

Our names have been called, our song has been sung. We are ready to dance with the Goddess, and if you but read and see clearly, but for a moment.. we are so glad, so very, very glad to have you with us.

Our dharma is the dharma of womankind, and our men are men with the souls of women, who remember brightly the life of moving and yielding and attacking with love. Who else is there to stand up for Mother Earth in Her time of need?

And the river that is Elfland, must join with the river that is man and woman, so that the lovely, and the poetic, and the magical, are not left behind in man's endless quest for a purpose that was there in the first place. Surely man doth deserve more than his endless buffoonery and pathetically overestimated notion of himself.

Our inner sisterhood is one. Our sisterhood is the host, the living body of Terra, the essence of womansoul essential to conscious life upon this planet. We come together, my sisters, to most imperceptibly guide an infant humanity from the cradle and into a secure childhood. The problem of mothering the child-humanity into the turmoil of planetary adolescence will belong to another sisterhood. If we do our Great Dharma with adeptship, sisters, we will be sisters again tomorrow and tomorrow and ten-thousand tomorrows.

"Therian type" THERIOTYPE.

"Therian mask" ANIMAL MASKS. CAT MASKS. PLEASE

Sure thing! Thank you for asking, Anon. (I already wanted to make a rant about it, but I don't really have a blog for ranting, so now I have an excuse to post it here). Short answer: I'm against that movement or whatever it is.

Long answer: TW: Rant/Rant-ish, mentions of harassment Note: I'm writing from my memory what the post was about, because I've blocked the coiner of this term on my main, I don't know what was the coiner's username to find them and I've blocked already many other accounts since seeing the coining post, so I'm not gonna find the post. Feel free to correct me on anything.

If I remember correctly, Kin Radical is pro-misanthropy, pro-kinning, anti-otherpaw, anti-fictionpaw (I've learnt about that term a while before I saw coining post of Kin Radical. It's apparently a term for these who roleplay as fictional characters. But I might be wrong) and anti-funlink. I've seen already other alterhuman bloggers complaining about misanthropy in the alterhuman community. I haven't seen it much (probably because Tumblr algorithm prefers to recommend me some stupid discourses), but it's still annoying annoying to be aware that misanthropy is a problem in our community. Not every human is bad and hating whole humanity will not help with anything. I don't know what more I can really say. If anyone has more thoughts on this subject: feel free to add them. When it comes to "kinning", I've seen that Kin Radical's coiner said that "kinning should be normalised", which is so fucking annoying to see, because KFFs stole the 'kin language and has been harassing fictionfolk.

Here's a fragment from The Dragonheart Collective’s Testimony on the KFF Phenomenon [link]:

KFF, or ‘Kin for fun’ is a term for those who claim that ‘kin is only for fun and a choice and means identify with/relate to instead of ‘identify AS’ and the culture the people who said this built on their stolen word. Ie- The group of people above and the ensuing culture they created built on top of misinformation, a stolen word, and the harassment of fictionfolk. The term is one that the KFF chose for themselves after a fashion, as they claimed they ‘kinned for fun’ rather than like all us ‘serious otherkin freaks’. It was not the otherkind community who came up with the term in the first place, we just started abbreviating it because it was clunky to type otherwise. KFF is a word for people who are being revisionist about our history and our words, who are trying to push those who have always been in the community out, and in the face of evidence will often double down and attack those who use fictionkin by its actual definition- usually in ableist, anti-spiritual, or saneist ways. The word ‘delusional attachment’ was in recent years aggressively pushed on actual otherkin and fictionkin to further their attempts at stealing our word- doing damage to both psychosis communities (as it spreads misinformation about what a delusion is) and ‘kin communities alike. People started using the phrase/term KFF because they needed to talk about the people who suddenly came in and started asserting a definition contrary to years and years of history, who started trying to push out the people who built the community to make a pale mockery of the community in its place. They needed a word and well, the KFF chose the label themselves after a fashion. Its a word that people who are not fictionkin and who were there back then often do not understand the full gravity of- what these people did to our spaces and the aggressive bullying and trolling people who claimed they ‘kinned for fun’ meted out to us. People who weren't there often don't quite comprehend the damage they did to our spaces and the damage they continue to do. The aggressive gatekeeping and bullying they do to us freaks because they want to continue to steal and ‘normie-fy’ our word. KFF reached critical mass and breached Tumblr containment to wider fandom culture, and now many people who count as KFF (as they think kin means the above and has always done so) are simply not aware of the history of the term and that it originally had a different meaning.

When it comes to otherpaws and fictionpaws, Kin Radical's coiner claimed that they're "mocking" therians and fictionkins. This is very stupid, because saying such a thing implies that masks, quads, roleplay = alterhuman.

I'll just quote a fragment of @d0gbite's post on the matter of otherpaw (but similar things would apply to fictionpaws) [link], because she explained it pretty well in their post:

no, someone wearing a mask or doing quads is not inherently copying or mocking therians, because masks and quads aren’t exclusive to therians, and they never have been. wearing a mask does not a therian make. wearing a mask does not necessarily have anything to do with therians. claiming that anyone who wears masks or does quads is copying therians is trying to claim exclusive rights of therians over masks and quads. it’s gatekeeping, yes, but worse than gatekeeping, it’s trying to cement masks and quads as inherently ‘therian’. which they aren’t. which we have tried all this time to teach folks that no, not all therians wear masks/do quads, and just because someone does those things doesn’t make them alterhuman. but now these anti-otherpaw folks are regressing again to “mask = therian, therefore they must be copying and mocking therians”. which is factually inaccurate and damaging to what being alterhuman and being therian truly means. it’s what leads to the misinformation about the true depth of alterhuman identity on places like tiktok. and i’m so sick of it.

I don't exactly remember what the coiner said on funlinking, but it's annoying to see anti-funlink folk. Like, why are they so angry about someone choosing to become an otherlinker, because they thought it be fun thing to do?? Also, funlink isn't the same as KFFs. Funlinkers still identify as their linktypes, KFFs don't identify as their "kinnies" (I think that's what they call characters they relate to) and KFFs misuse 'kin language what I've already said before.

The thing that baffles me the most from all of that is the fact that the coiner of Kin Radical supports stealers of 'kin language who harassed members of our community (KFF), but they're against roleplayers who created their *own terms* (otherpaws & fictionpaws) to separate themselves from the alterhuman community. WHAT IS THIS LOGIC???

Don't worry about your diet not fully mimicing the theriform animal's diet. You're an animal, and it's your food.

You can eat fruit salads as a tiger - it's tiger food. You can eat vanilla cupcakes as a wolf - it's wolf food. I can eat fried chicken as a hare - it's hare food.

good. you’re of sound mind and body and all that?

good. ok, now, you understand that this is permanent. if you decide you don’t like it, you can’t change your mind. you won’t have a human body anymore and even if we still had it the surgery to put you back is so dangerous that we don’t do it. you understand all that? this isn’t a movie. you can’t just jump between them. you do this, there’s no undoing it.

well, you still seem eager, so we’ll take you. want to see her? follow me

this is her! we call her W-239, that’s her batch number, but you can keep the same name you use now or you can pick a different one; it’s up to you. she’s 35ish feet long from nose to tailtip and she weighs just shy of a thousand pounds

yeah, dragons are lighter than you’d expect from the size since they have to be able to get off the ground. oh, her wingspan is huge, thereabouts ninety feet! we’re not sure, her wings have never been open

no, she just has a vat-grown brainstub. all it does is keep her lungs and heart running and turn the iv nutrients we give her into dragon cells. she’s barely even alive. your brain is what gives her all the personality.

oh, no, the surgery is really safe as long as we go this way. we just knock you out, pop your brain out, and splice it into her spinal cord so you can control her body. it sounds scary, but it’s really not. there’s a reason your batch number starts with 200, we’ve literally done it hundreds of times and never had a single failure. don’t worry at all

yeah, you’re gonna get to be that. it’s pretty cool, isn’t it?

ok, follow me. this part is somewhat embarrassing. we need you to strip down so we can take 360° scans of your human body. no, it’s a legal thing. if you ever decide you want to look human again for any reason, you can do some shapeshifting magic. dragons are good at that sort of thing. you won’t be human, but you’ll be just about impossible to tell without DNA testing. anyway, we give you scans of your former body in your exit packet just in case, so you can look as close as you can to how you look now

arms up. arms out. arms to your sides. legs apart. bend forward. bend back. squat down? stand on your tiptoes? ok, nice, that’s all of them.

ok, come lay down here! we’re gonna put this iv in you to deliver the anesthetic. you’re gonna feel a little pinch- good. you did it! ok, this is room-temperature, so it’s gonna feel cold in your arm as we push it. just try to relax and count backwards from ten with me, ok? when you wake up, you’ll be in the new body!

10… 9… 8…

7… 6…

5…

ok her heart rate is stable. she’s coming up; turn the lights down

hey. you awake? can you hear me? don’t try to move your head, you’re still really drugged. i’m impressed you even moved that much. just blink once for yes and twice for no, ok?

good. hold still, i gotta test your nervous responses. eyes look good, frill retraction is- yeah, that’s good, ok, follow my finger with your eyes- ok, that’s perfect

how much do you remember? do you remember the surgery? the Ambassador Project? good, you’re up to speed. you’re in a clean room right now to try to limit your exposure to the environment and stress out your new senses

yeah, your eyesight and smell are going to be a lot more sensitive than you’re used to. touch and taste will probably be about the same, though your palate will likely change, and your hearing will be less sensitive but not in a way you won’t adjust to

try to focus on the scents. you can smell all of us individually, can’t you? is that interesting?

you think you can talk? that one’s usually kinda hard for new dragons.

“hungry.” yeah, i bet. we can bring you some sashimi if you want. we have an in-house chef who makes it for our dragon residents because fish makes up such a significant part of a dragon’s diet. does that sound good?

ok, we’ll get you a sampler plate in a bit. think you can lift your head? you won’t be able to eat if you can’t

ok, you’re still struggling a bit. tell you what, i’m gonna give you an adrenaline shot to help you burn the drugs off. this is gonna sting a bit; your scales are so thick that i have to punch in between your talons where they’re softer. ready?

hey, don’t hiss at me. you’re ok. pushing adrenaline now…

see, isn’t that better? you’re not thinking through pudding anymore, huh? can you lift your head now?

there you go. go slowly, girl, your balance probably isn’t back yet. i’d hate for you to roll right off the operating table. yeah, let me get you a mirror.

do you like it? oh, your eyes are getting watery- it’s ok, i promise. we recruit from therians for a reason. welcome home.

want to try out your wings and tail? no, you can’t fly, but you can move them around a bit. be careful with your wings, this room isn’t big enough for you to open them fully, but we’ll get you outside soon enough, don’t worry

i’m gonna turn the lights back up. it’s gonna get brighter. don’t worry, your pupils will handle it

think you can stand? be careful now, you weigh half a ton and if you fall i can’t catch you. just go one foot after the other- there you go! look at you!

With the increase in interest in radio collars and bird bands, I would like to bring to light one creator who makes such a thing that are wearable for nonhuman identifying people. : Bird Brain Leatherwork. Additionally, the business is independent and queer owned, run by a single artist and leatherworker. Her items are handmade, and by their appearance, look sturdy and well made.

These items are made with the BDSM/kink, petplay, furry, and therian communities in mind. She makes a variety of leather items such as collars and cuffs (as well as other items such as patches and LARP gear), but the following are items which specifically fit the topic of radio collars and bird bands.

Tracker Wild Critter Collar A collar designed to give the appearance of a wildlife monitoring collar. Customizable and able to include species and ID numbers. Also includes a pocket for a GPS tracker, so your handler or researcher can keep track of you.

The Bird Band Wild Critter Cuff Reminiscent of wildlife birdbands used for ecological research and monitoring. (Or bands used on "domesticated"/pet bird species as well.) Much like the Tracker collar, the Bird Band cuff also includes a pocket for a GPS tracker.

The Falconer Wild Bird Anklets These cuffs are meant to resemble the anklets placed on falconry birds, with a large eyelet for proper jess (or other rope) connections.

Ear Tag Wild Critter Tag An ear tag like those used in ecological research or ranch identification, able to be customized with your own words and symbols. Also includes a pocket for a GPS tracker, and different mounting options for small ears or fursuits. (There are other creators who have made similar Ear Tag style gear using lighter materials that may be easier to wear, if wearing the tag in the physical ear is important to the individual.)

in light of the recent influx of otherpaw hate, i have some Things To Say.

truly, there is no real difference between otherpaws and furries, except the materials they use to roleplay as animals. we should not be gatekeeping materials, guys. you cannot seriously call yourself furry-friendly if you are anti-otherpaw. but that is not my main reason for disliking the anti-otherpaw stance.

i find a laaaaarge issue i have with these “but otherpaws are copying therians!!!!” folks is that the term otherpaw was created specifically to distance otherpaws from alterhumanity; to create a clear distinction that masks and quadrobics ≠ alterhuman (therian included). which is a factually correct distinction. and folks whining about copying are (maybe unintentionally, maybe not) obscuring that distinction.

no, someone wearing a mask or doing quads is not inherently copying or mocking therians, because masks and quads aren’t exclusive to therians, and they never have been. wearing a mask does not a therian make. wearing a mask does not necessarily have anything to do with therians. claiming that anyone who wears masks or does quads is copying therians is trying to claim exclusive rights of therians over masks and quads. it’s gatekeeping, yes, but worse than gatekeeping, it’s trying to cement masks and quads as inherently ‘therian’. which they aren’t. which we have tried all this time to teach folks that no, not all therians wear masks/do quads, and just because someone does those things doesn’t make them alterhuman.

but now these anti-otherpaw folks are regressing again to “mask = therian, therefore they must be copying and mocking therians”. which is factually inaccurate and damaging to what being alterhuman and being therian truly means. it’s what leads to the misinformation about the true depth of alterhuman identity on places like tiktok. and i’m so sick of it.

i know it’s not a widespread issue (yet). but given that i’ve seen a handful of posts and comments about it, this is why i hope it doesn’t become one.
