I Can Only Think Of A Few Right Now But For Me It’s:

A note on terms: I do not use the terms therian or otherkin. I may technically fit into these categories, but I do not like these labels (nothing against people who do use them though). I am a physically nonhuman shapeshifting changeling fae creature, and I am a holothere.

I may occasionally use other tags, but these are the only nonhuman labels I feel really suit me.

animatronics are one of my special interests and the other day I was at work, and I literally just thought about chuck e. cheese and i got so excited i screamed and flapped. i was so nervous someone saw me, but luckily no one noticed

There’s something about the games ability to just let you be feral that delights me. I am nowhere near a wolf and yet, I can experience the wild in this game in a way which just makes me happy in spite of the species difference. Revel in wildness not matter the form.

I LOVE WOLFQUEST!!!

They should invent hrt that gives you fangs

y’all mind if i just... *flaps my hands*

how am i supposed to ever get a job (that i actually like) when all my small brain lets me think about are these dumb animatronics??

It's so sad that there are very few places anyone can go that provide that perfect secret little hideaway somewhere in th woods. Everything is someones property, public parks that are just grass, or housing developments now. I just want to be able to take a short walk from my house to some (not even that deep) woods and find a cool tree and make it my hang out spot and to walk along the naturally forming paths from other people and animals taking time to actually enjoy nature.

Inspired by a post by @/wilczak I’ve been thinking a lot about my own desire to have a pet snake.

For nearly all my life I’ve wanted to keep snakes. I had garter snakes for several years before rehoming them when I went to high school and became busier. I’ve always felt a kinship with them. Even before I knew what I was, I knew snakes were my kind.

It took me a long time to realize I was a snake. I knew I was a changeling since I was very young, however the realization that I was a snake took longer to come. I couldn’t see beyond the veil for a long time and only sensed fragments of my true form. Once I realized I was a snake, my attachment to them made so much more sense.

We’re not a social species by any means, however I’ve always wanted to keep snakes because we’re the same. We understand each other in a fundamental way. Largely we’re uninterested in each other, but there’s a sense of camaraderie in shared species-ship.

I love learning about my kind, and the idea of taking care of another sounds very rewarding to me. We are brethren.

(WHERE ARE MY WINGS. WHERE ARE MY CLAWS.)

me: so being autistic effects every part of me...

allistic: ok

me: it even changes my perception of gender...

allistic: that makes sense

me: i identify as autigender because my experience of gender is intertwined with my autistic experience

allistic: AuTisM IsN’T A GENDer?!!!!

———————————————————————

autigender doesn’t necessarily mean autism is a gender, it is simply a term autistics can use to describe the way their gender and autism interact (hope that helps explain it!)
