Introduction post!!

Hii, my name is Shilo. I’m 15 and I use he/it pronouns and I’m transmasc + achillian. I’m autistic and a furry. I’m mainly on here to get more information on alterhuman identity and hopefully find my specific kin type. I’ve been using the “non-human” label for almost a year now but I’m very new to the community. Any information or tips are helpful.

I’m an golden retriever kith (otherhearted) and I feel connected to “thing” related xeno genders and identities and I’m deeply connected to canines, creatures, and/or cryptids.

I want to use this blog to hopefully find others with similar experiences or interests to mine and hopefully even find some friends.

You are (or support) dd-lg, ab-dl, age-play, pet-play, pro-ship, MAP, or any variants of these
You’re anti-fat or anti body positivity, anti fat liberation, etc.
You debate labels, flags, kin types, identities, etc. (idc what side you’re on, I just don’t like drama lol)
You post NSFW, pro-ED/SH content such as thinspo or meanspo

Feel free to interact if you aren’t any of these!!

I will block you if I feel weird about you at all :3

Some extra info about me if you’re interested lol

My special interests are:

Liminal spaces (in general)
Horror media (specifically internet horror, ARGs, experimental content, etc.)
Mycology
Clowns

I did my best! I’m obviously not sure what you look like, but here ya go!

The desire to eat raw meat without getting sick or to have strong, sharp, canine teeth. I want to be allusive and mysterious. I want simply be a “thing.” Something that locals tell stories of and fear because of how little is known about it.

I want to live in the shadows, in the woods, or just away from everything and everyone with the exception of other creatures and critters that share my habitat.

I want to be able to shift forms, to manipulate my physical body to my desire so that I can blend in and catch my prey, or simply terrify humans; a “skin walker” if you will. Almost human, but something is clearly below the surface dying to get out.

Below is a drawing I made depicting a form I would love to have :3

thinking about werewolves and the concept of becoming a monster and discovering that something savage and uncontrollable exists within you and the potential that has to be a liberating narrative about growth and change and courage rather than a story about controlling and concealing it

Being a werewolf is about shame. I think it’s also about anger, trauma, not belonging, and the fear that you might be unlovable.

The shame of being a werewolf has to be that you were bitten by the wolf, and you survived. You survived because you became the wolf yourself. You are this terrible, monstrous thing, and the terrible, monstrous thing is you. It’s the part of you that survives the attack, and it’s terrifying that this is you.

I feel like werewolves are people who are very hurt. Not only that, they’ve spent their lives up to this point trying as hard as they can being whatever the opposite of a werewolf is—something tame, something yielding, something that’s not angry and unpredictable and bestial. But the Wolf is also them. Because no matter how much you don’t believe it, you want to make it. You want to survive, and you will fight so that you will live.

Or werewolves are people who are incredibly afraid. It’s about the inevitability of not being lovable; being a monster is unforgivable. It’s about the inability to withstand anything that will happen to you. It’s about your body betraying you. It’s about carrying a terrible and ugly you inside you, locked up where no one can see it, because the thought of anyone else seeing that you is unbearable. It’s about all of those things and more.

I think the Wolf is the part of you that loves you, unconditionally. It’s the part of you that bites when something tries to hurt you. When something tries to put you back in the place you’re supposed to be. Of course it’s scary. It’s scary to find that you are impossibly strong and maybe selfish, and that your self-hatred isn’t enough to save you from the savage, stubborn knot of self-love you carry in your chest. But it’s also the answer to that question: What if I am awful? What if I am terrible, too terrible to look at, too terrible to love? What if you are a monster? Well, what then?

This post isn’t related to anything I post really, but I just wanted to share that today I got news that my therapist finally got in a letter to my doctors to inform them that I can start HRT. My appointment is on Thursday and I’m so happy that I got to this point. Unfortunately, next week a bill will be passed in my state prohibiting anyone under 18 from receiving gender affirming care with the acceptation of minors that have been on HRT prior to the bill being passed, who can continue their treatment. I’m so lucky to have supportive parents and healthcare providers and I’m so excited to finally start testosterone.

imagine having a regression nursery, a place where no one can judge you or tell you that you’re wrong.. equipped with either a fun kids bed like a princess bed or a car racer bed, or a crib. a mobile safely there for you, crib accessories, comfy blankets and stuffies to kiss you goodnight. glowing stars stuck neatly along the ceiling, tiled foam mat on the floor. shelves full of pacis, bottles, sippies, diaps, toys all there organized for your comfort. it smells like your comfort scent and your comfort show is always playing. it’s safe, all for you.

being a psychological therian due to being trans and nuerodivergent is so interesting. like when i was growing up i was rlly like "why do i feel so wrong in my body?" "why am i so fixated on animals?" "why do i feel such a big disconnect from people?" "why do i get treated so different?"

and like all these years later ive found the only logical conclusion . Dog

(Rant/gratitude post) ….

Reminiscing on your upbringing and coming to the realization how non-human you’ve always been is really something. Even as a child, I loved the forest. It felt like home. I felt so safe and warm, it felt so familiar. Now that I’ve gotten older, I’ve lost that part of myself. I don’t live near any large forests or woods and I don’t have a place to truly connect with nature again and better find myself.

If I’m being honest, coming to terms with my otherkinity saved me. I realized I was in a really awful point in my life and started truly embracing it once things started getting better. I now have a loving and kind partner who validates my experience and supports the journey I’m taking to figure myself out.

I’m so thankful to this community for helping me find myself. Whether it be with term coining, articles, or just posts telling me I’m valid and enough, I couldn’t be more grateful.

I’m still figuring out my kin type, my root for said kin type, and how I can connect with it more, but I’m thankful for others on this platform sharing their experiences and in turn helping me figure out myself more.
