I Love Being A Non Traditional Regressor. Sometimes Regression Can Be Getting Cozy Under Your Blanket

you there. person posting a "list of alterhuman terms" post in the community tags. name and define five alterhuman identities that ARE NOT nonhumanity or fictionkinity. if you try to use voluntary nonhumanity as one of these the dragon gets to eat you. you have five minutes.

Shout out to regressors with messy rooms

Whether that be just a small mess or you have trash and dirty dishes everywhere

you are no less of a regressor just bc your rooms isn't clean or "aesthetic"

I hope you someday have the energy to clean, but until then don't feel ashamed or any less valid

"all bark and no bite" WRONG!!! bite them too

That fucking DIY wheelchair post is going around again, and none of the people reblogging it are reblogging a version that talks about the risks of using homemade mobility aids that don't fit you properly - such as that they can make your pain worse or cause pressure sores that lead to terrible infections.

I did see a couple of additions about how cool and punk it is. I don't know, is getting sepsis punk?

kind of feeling like the shift from “physical nonhumanity is a term for those who literally physically experience their body as nonhuman” to “physical nonhumanity includes literally any nonhuman because they feel like they metaphorically or philosophically, not physically, have a nonhuman body” is so similar to the bastardization of the word “therian” by those who don’t actually identify as therians.

specifically in the case of physical nonhumans, i see it following this pattern and slowly becoming unsafe for those who are actually literally physically nonhuman to use that term. because now those who aren’t, but who still claim to be physically nonhuman, are the ones going “ew, you ACTUALLY think you have the body of an animal?? that’s clinical lycanthropy, you’re just delusional!!” and “physical nonhumans don’t ACTUALLY think we have nonhuman bodies. we know we’re human!!”

like we’re being pushed out of our own spaces, our own terms.

don’t you see? history repeating itself? “therians don’t ACTUALLY think we’re animals, that’s clinical lycanthropy!! if you ACTUALLY identify as an animal, you’re delusional!!”

it irks me that folks insist on claiming words that were not meant for them and then push out those who were already using it. why not make your own term if you want it to mean something different?

"Guyysss... therians don't ACTUALLY think we're animals haha..." SHUT THE FUCK UP SHUT THE FUCK UP SHUT THE FUCK UP

At this point I prefer the company of those who are straight up physically nonhuman and are PROUD AND OPEN ABOUT THAT FACT, instead of YOU fuckers who tip-toe around your identity to make OTHER PEOPLE more comfortable.

GET MAD. BE ANIMALISTIC. WEAR A COLLAR. BARK AT PEOPLE WHO PISS YOU OFF. WEAR GEAR. DON'T WEAR GEAR. FIND YOUR FELLOW CREATURES. LEARN ABOUT THE START OF OUR COMMUNITY.

BE UNAPOLOGETICALLY SCARY AND INTIMIDATING TO NORMIES.

I need carrying around a stuffed animal friend to be normalized

HEY IM WATER !!!!

Water Alterhuman Flags

Flag 1: Water Alterhuman/alterbeing

Flag 2: Waterhearted or water otherhearted

Flag 3: Waterkin or water otherkin

Flag 4: Water holothere (I think that's a thing?)

Flag Descriptions: Each flag has eight stripes and have the same colors. The top stripe is a navy blue, the second stripe is a lighter navy blue, the third stripe is a slightly muted royal blue, the fourth stripe is a muted mid-tone blue, the fifth stripe is turquoise, the sixth stripe is cyan, the seventh stripe is teal, and the last stripe is a darker teal. Flag 1 has the alterhuman symbol, flag 2 has the otherhearted symbol, flag 3 has the otherkin symbol, and flag 4 has the holothere symbol.

Flag explanation:

The colors on this flag are meant to represent the different types of waters out there, including (but not limited to) lakes, pools, oceans, rivers, estruaries, reservoirs, etc.

If flags for these labels/identities already exist, consider them alternative flags!

(The otherhearted one was self indulgent, so I decided to do other symbols/flags too :] )

can we stop stereotyping kintypes and expressions of alterhumanity as a whole actually and putting them in like, hierachies. its really getting old. not all physicals are psychotic, not all hearteds are "lesser" types, not all quadrobists are "tiktok therians," not all linkeds are posers (where did this even come from) hell not all alterhumans are nonhuman. i know we're all autistic but categorizing alterhumanity like that is counterintuitive and we should stop that
