“ We are what we make of ourselves, and I made myself the Springwood Slasher.”
Welcome to the CrispyDemon! I’m Freddy, aka the Springwood Slasher! I ain’t to good at writing intros since my appearance usually speaks for itself, not too mention ya don’t really have to in the dream world, but since I can’t invade dreams the internet is the next best thing!
I made this blog to essentially be myself. I’m not really seen as my fictional self IRL, so this blog is a means to do that, not too mention discuss having a slasher villain as a fictotype. Due to that dark themes are a given, so keep that in mind. If this sounds interesting to ya feel free to stick around!

im planning on making a masterlist of divinekin euphoria tips, but I myself am an angel and I don't understand the experience of demonkin. I want to make it as helpful and inclusive as possible so if anyone is open to giving me information on what things give you species euphoria, what helps with dysphoria, things that make you feel more in touch with your identity, etc. i would really appreciate it <3
Hello! Let me try and explain some since you seem to want to understand us. But first yes I will admit putting physical therian tags on this post has been hurtful, as it can come across as going into our space just to say you don't understand us unless it is specified you *want* to learn. I hope this response, and from others can help you understand!/lh /gen /nm
Beware this post will be long, but it is long because I care deeply for this subject. The cut is in place for this reason. So basically welcome to;
On physical alterhumanity, animal-identity lens.
[Pt: On physical alterhumanity, animal-identity lens, End PT.]
As implied by said title this is mainly focusing on nonhuman animal identities, it is important to remember that physical fiction-, fact- and fait- identities are also a valid, and real part of the larger alterhuman community. I use animalistic nonhuman language to the focus on physical therians and holotheres (which is mainly composed of animalfolk)

1) So firstly I think it is important to mention that the confusion between it being a specified mental illness, delusion or neither, *CAN* and frequently *IS* used to disregard *all* alter- and nonhuman experiences. Delusions are not limited to perceptions of "physical reality". Some consider it delusional to have a belief in past lives, to believe in the multiverse, and to be atypically human or nonhuman at all. For example spiritual psychosis is a frequently discussed phenomenon. And that anti-theists exist to begin with.
Thus it is unfair to apply this idea of "reality" to only *one* out of many groups. Also considering *all* beliefs can be misused, it does not make an identity false./ndir
2) A mental illness, by definition *must* be clinically significant and disturb an individuals cognition, emotional regulation or behaviour. They are often distressing and impairing (as in a disability)
Source World Health Organisation (WHO), "Mental disorders", last changed 30th September 2025 : https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/mental-disorders
Many physical therians, holotheres and other alterhumans are not inherently hindered by their experiences. Rather, at least in my case, most of my distress surrounding my nonhumanity (physical and not) comes from external individuals not acknowledging it and it not being understood. Especially since many "unconventional" outlets and expressions of nonhumanity is done by physical nonhumans.
3) "Even" if a physical therian or holotheres experience *is* caused by delusion or tied to a mental illness such as clinical zoanthropy, that does not make it invalid nor less real. Therianthropy and species identity can on any level be caused by these factors. For example; an individual whose therianthropy arose from being autistic and "not fitting in".
[Image ID; A divider of autumn leaves and dots, varying from maple to oak leaves in a light yellowish orange and a brownish red, End ID.]
Now onto why someone may experience identity as they do, Firstly I'd like to say that just as with emotional, psychological and spiritual therianthropy can physical have literally countless causes and explanations, these are merely a few I've seen frequently.
Another important disclaimer is that physical therianthropy, and alterhuman (identify as/with) terms can generally be divided into two subcategories; metaphorical and literal. Many individuals experience both, some one, some are fluid etc. As you (reader) will see are some explanations used for both group.
And I cannot stretch this enough: This isn't an exhaustive list, and many individuals do not label how or why their identity is. They simply *are*.
Here are some metaphorical/figurative explanations:
1 - An individual perceives or wishes for their body to be perceived as that of their internal identity.
2 - An individual considers their body to be an extension of an internal facet of their identity, for example their soul or mind. Think "I am x psychologically/spiritually and this body is mine, thus this body is also that of x". This fits under the label concothere(source)
3 - An individual feels as if their true body is hidden by some sort of veil, for example that they have their "true" physical form on the astral realm or that their spirit has the shape of their 'type. The terminology "vessel" is common among this experience.
⚠️ Can also be literal, slightly different examples given
4 - An individual experiences a disconnect from one's externally perceived body, and feels that due to something their body is thus not "really theirs".
5 - An individual has or believes to have the genes of an altertype, but that they are not expressed. See methylated(link)
⚠️ Can also be literal
[Image ID; A divider of autumn leaves and dots, varying from maple to oak leaves in a light yellowish orange and a brownish red, End ID.]
Here are some "literal" explanations:
1 - An individual believing or feeling they have been experimented on somehow. Whether originally being theriform and then made to look human, or being human but somehow made nonhuman in any way.
2 - An individual feels as if their true body is hidden by some sort of veil, for example that there is a spell overlaying one's body. The terminology "vessel" is common amongst this experience.
⚠️ Can also be metaphorical/figurative, slightly different examples given
3 - An individual experiencing bodily shifts, whether it is a tangible change or something that otherwise affects how one's body is perceived and or experienced. For the former group; physical shifts, whether internal or external. Also may vary in amount of change. For the latter, experiences like sensory shifts can be experienced through a physical lens. For example having bettered senses of smell due to being, in any way, physically canine.
4 - An individual having certain physical experiences that one associates with or thinks to be caused by an altertype. Personal example; I am extremely uncomfortable standing upright (on my hind legs) and easily gets dizzy when standing. I have looked into this time and time again but doctors have found nothing wrong, leading me to associate it with my werewolfhood and being a sanguine vampire.
5 - An individual having physical characteristics considered "abnormal" by humanity but reflects that of an altertype. This is also covered undered deviae(link)
6 - Similar to point 4, An individual having behaviours that materialize in a way that affects one's body, pointing towards physical alterhumanity. For example; experiencing heat cycles, reacting from lack of hibernation or reaction to stimuli/emotions.
7 - An individual being transspecies and going through physical or medical transition. Which alters the appearence to be more nonhuman, hence why someone would "literally" identify as having a body that is in some way and to some extent nonhuman.
8 - An individual having the genes of an altertype, but that they are not expressed. See methylated(link)
⚠️ Can also be literal, slightly different examples given
[Image ID; A divider of autumn leaves and dots, varying from maple to oak leaves in a light yellowish orange and a brownish red, End ID.]
Finally, here is some explained by me, as a transspecies, biomorpher holotheric werewolf.
I know I have always been nonhuman, on all levels, hence being a holothere. My mind works differently, my beliefs don't align with that expected of "normal" humans, and specifically my body does not work in a way that is typical. It is not typical by human standards, but makes sense as a werewolf and cat. As a child I awaited for my first shift into a wolf, and while I do not consider myself a wolfblood anymore, it is still important to me as an anteatype.
I experience sensations, itching under my skin, stretching, fur growing. It is by those means literal, and it is werewolfic in nature. My body yearns to fully physically shift. My senses are sensitive, always, but sometimes more so. I'm extremely sensitive to smell which causes physical reactions.
My body craves raw meat, it craves drinking blood. And without it, I feel lightheaded, and more unstable. I am generally wobbly on my hind legs, I long for living as quadrupedally as I can.
Additionally I wish to physically transition at least to some extent, to feel more comfortable in how I am perceived, and to express myself. All my 'kinity is physical to some extent, whether I identify it physically or not. Simply because I am a creature who likes to express myself outwardly, and through my body.
[Image ID; A divider of autumn leaves and dots, varying from maple to oak leaves in a light yellowish orange and a brownish red, End ID.]
Ending note; I hope this helped someone, or was at least an interesting read. I apologize if my language was a bit off at any time, or if I sounded to strongly worded as it was not my intention. It is getting late for me (11:15 pm as of posting), but I wanted to get this out. Any revisions will be mentioned here. I may post the information part of this as a separate post as well. If you have anything to add feel free to reblog this, I love hearing more :3
Anyways have a good timezone critters, beings, things and humans alike. Your distant alterhumanity enthusiast is closing his computer!/silly

Am I the only alterhuman who genuinely wonders how our identities work? I'm referring to alterhumanity that is on a psychological basis rather than spiritual. Spiritual beliefs cannot be proven nor disproven.
I just get really curious about why our minds work the way they do. Why am I this character? What made my brain tell me, as a fictionkin, "See that cartoon guy? That's you. You may not relate to him or look anything like him but that is definitely you. Oh yeah and I've decided to give you fabricated memories as that guy."
I mean where does it come from? And are there things we still don't know about alterhumanity as a whole..? It really does intrigue me a lot when I sit and think about it.
“hello y/n. i am the condiment king.” the condiment king said condimentkingingly.
“wowza.” you said shockedly as you looked at the condiment king in shock. “i am such a big fan. i love condiments and sauces. they can add more flavour and enjoyment to foods.”
“i am in love with you without you i am like a salad without relish and whatever other sauces you can put on many different types of salads to enhance the flavour.” the condiment king condimentally pondered.
“wowza. we should lowk kiss” you condimentally said in a kingly tone.
“you make me blush redder than ketchup, and all other condiments which are the colour red.” the condiment king condimented.
“wowza”
then you both kissed. condimentally. wowza
here you go twin @reducingemissions
also hello everyone i hope you enjoyed my super serious condiment king x reader i will be here all week.
I grew up on transformative work. The media's done, the show's over, and I will jump over to fan content. With my worldview and upbringing, alterrealities and multiverses are par the course. I've never seen canon as the One Truth.
It's just the one that got captured and put on the big screen, in major text, or in a huge stage play. Any form of published media, really. They are also for dramatics, focusing on the big moments, the impactful moments. Even the slice-of-life sort can be a bit like that. They transform themselves as well, or they couldn't even agree with themselves. Plot holes, hello?
"Canon" feels oddly heavy for a fictionfolk. A sort of rulebook, things to abide by, expectations to follow. Sometimes it's a chain in the form of guidance. After all, how are we to discover ourselves without some hint and clue? And isn't it convenient that it's all laid out in the form of "canon" events?
Probably ties a bit back to other alterhuman that have an earthen counterpart. You got something to work with, a template, more of a hint on where you can find more about yourself or your identity. But just like the issue with canon-compliant fictionfolk, there is a possibility that you come away, binding your own foot.
They really don't need to be put on a pedestal.
Identity is a fluid thing; it is also something that we have to discover and grow into. We came from culture, tradition, and history, and they gave us something to work with; they shouldn't be the frame that boxes us forever.
Either way, back to us. None of us are "canon compliant"; canon is just a suggestion, really. We are our own people, our experiences are unique to us, we are living, and we grow.
I had to figure out that my Naruto (hearttype) was from a timeline where he never grew up with Konoha. He was part of a nomadic Uzushio village-on-the-move. Even if at one point I had looked for ramen as if it's expected that I should like it. I don't hate it, and maybe my Naruto just didn't have that history with ramen. Granted, some fans like to headcanon that the Uzumaki really likes ramen, and I enjoyed that headcanon myself. Still, it's not my experience with my hearttype.
Stellus, the dream dragons' vaguelink, was never anywhere near the battlefield of Runeterra. But before finding Stellus, we had first looked to Aurelion Sol. There were awkward bits of moments where we thought we had to embrace the haughty draconic superiority ASol exudes on screen, but we didn't feel like that.
I'm skipping over Pokemon (paraarchetrope, vague-simile) and Digimon (vaguelink); the worlds themselves already have allowance for many universes and their many possibilities and divergencies. Heck, even singular universes have variations.
Lady is a greyscale rainicorn amongst many other rainbow colored rainicorns; the Celestial Duo's story came with so many possibilities, and had come here after the event of their show's first season. They even have multiple canons of their own that come in different formats. We don't really know what's up with Daisuki, but Digimon, enough said.
Does make things messy, however, especially when some of us do engage with our own source fan content on a regular basis. But hey, quite used to that we are, fumbling about in the dark, trying everything and then creating some, figuring out ourselves along the way.
I’ve been thinking about what to make of some of my neometa; I like the idea of thinking of canon as a suggestion, because yeah I subconsciously put canon on a pedestal.
I’ve mostly been thinking about what happened to my wife and daughter after I got caught as the Springwood Slasher. Canonically I killed my wife after she discovered my murder shed, however in my memory she divorced me and took my daughter with her. I prefer the latter. The reason being, is that it feels a lot more real than what I saw portrayed. For a while I wasn’t sure what to make of seeing something that diverges from the canon timeline, I’m glad I can see a reminder that my meta is valid even if it’s not canon.

I’ve seen some posts in the community about talking about prey drive, and as a slasher villain, I have some thoughts of my own to share.. I’ve been wanting to talk about the more “taboo” aspects of my kintype, but I’ve been trying to figure out the right words. But you know what, fuck it. I’ll just go ahead and see how it goes.
I’ve discovered that I have a knack for scaring people. I often accidentally scare people by being so quiet that people don’t realize I’m there. Generally I feel guilty, because I don’t have intentions of doing that, but I also find it affirming to me. I like that I can be scary if I wanted to, and there’s a couple of instances that came in handy.
The first was when I was a teenager at a summer camp. I should mention that I was an absolute theater kid in high school, so that did work in my favor in both stories. Anyway, one night we were sitting around the campfire telling ghost stories. I decided to recite one of my favorite creepypastas (I know sounds cringe), and by the time I was done telling the story I could tell mostly everyone was thoroughly creeped out. I had a counselor come up and tell me that he forgot that it was a made up story, and that it didn’t actually happen. There were some kids who were clearly anxious to go to sleep, which I definitely felt guilty about, but another part of me felt proud that night.
Two years later I volunteered for a haunt at a local park. I figured I could do what I usually do accidentally, but on purpose, and for the most part it worked. Quietly waiting in the dark for the right moment. The thing I remember the most about that night was the adrenaline, and how thrilling it was. It reminded me of being in the dream world, staking around corners of my boiler room.
Looking back on both of these moments I associate them with my fictotype. The time at summer camp is more in retrospect. When I volunteered at the haunt however, I felt more like my canon self. I realize when others talk about a prey drive it’s connected to their type’s survival. A carnivore needs to hunt to live. For my kintype hunting doesn’t fulfill a physiological need, it’s very psychological, it’s a sadistic power trip.
When I’ve indulged in these darker aspects, such as volunteering at a haunt, it’s a more animalistic state to be in. It’s deeply cathartic to be able to feel more like my canon self. I don’t really experience an urge to scare, it looks more like an internal tension is released. The take away I hope to leave is that: I like to be able to connect with my source in a way that doesn’t result in actual harm.

I love being a grown ass adult and a therian. I love being nearly 30 and otherkin. I love being successful in my adult life and alterhuman.
Nonhuman experiences aren't something you grow out of. They aren't an indicator of an unfulfilled or boring life- they're just part of the diverse spectrum of it.
