When I am the poor impression of a normal, quiet everyday Joe anytime I leave the house, but the second I go home or spend time with my girlfriend? BOOM! Doggy :3
you ever get stressed by like. job and filling out forms and talking to coworkers. And then you get home and remember you can daydream about playing as a dog. and about running around
Do your tics affect phantom limbs (if applicable)? /gen q. I get tics when I'm adapting to a new schedule (I do not have tourettes), and if my shoulders or back gets them, my wings also get them.
Hmmm I haven't ever thought to connect them before but looking back? Kinda? A majority of my tics are motor tics and sometimes when I do a full body shudder it feels like I'm shaking out my fur. Or sometimes when I move my head a lot while experiencing a phantom shift I can feel my ears move.
My tail or ears might twitch but I never thought of it as my tics more as just my body reacting to my environment. Could be a blend of both though!
I will say my vocal tics ARE affected when I'm shifted. I get all chittery and twitch a lot more. I usually try to suppress a lot of my vocal tics, so I think it's nice that when I'm shifted, I feel comfortable enough to just let my voice do whatever. Some of it is my own voluntary vocals, and some of it is just my tics doing what they do.
This dog is not made for the heat.
It's 95°F (35°C) and it feels like 102°F (38.9°C)
Endless dry heat! Has me panting and shit, horrible.
Imagine a dog trying to go to school, and all it can do as it runs around campus is try not to melt into a little puddle.
Sometimes, I think a little too hard about when I asked for someone's name at a local renfaire I worked at, and they asked me teasingly if I was a fae, and for a long second, I didn't know what to say back.
I identify as a shape-shifter from how I see myself and how I interact with others. I switch between forms like crazy and can never really picture an actual concrete image of myself in my head.
A lot of this I own up to my own issues with derealization, but also a lot of my personal identity I feel stems from just how I interact with the world. It's always felt like people saw me as something different than them, and that caused this rift between me and my humanity. I can see it, I can feel it in how I want to fight for the things I believe in and in my own personal beliefs about spirituality, but it's funny. My humanity has always been a part of my more spiritual thoughts and practices then my alterhumanity which has always been just me.
I was raised in a setting where dedicating myself to the experience of honoring myself as an individual while still connecting to those around me and recognizing us as one in the same was made my religion. My humanity is present within me as a warm ideal of my hopes and dreams for this world. It still isn't my body, though, which instead became how I feel and how I show my emotion through alterhumanity.
It's like I got flipped inside out.
Anyways, to cut a long story short, I don't know what I am, renfaire lady, but some kind of creature that is fascinated by humanity and likes to be mischievous sounds like it could be a part of it. I'll think about it more next spring.
New mask! Raccoon >:]
It's meee! It looks a little patchy in some of the darker parts, so I may fix that and add fur as well, but I think it turned out pretty cool. The eyes are also a little off putting so I might change em >:
Hi My name's Minnow or Mini, my pronouns are it/it's or he/him
wanna be doggy buddies
Heck yeah hello :D
I don't enjoy ticking, but I especially don't enjoy how my tics seem to especially get bad when someone is leaning on me. Like, oh, your friend is using your arm as a pillow? You are now suddenly very aware of that arm and need to move it around. Then I feel bad and feel like I have to apologize for jostling them when I know I can't help it, and they also know and hghhh. It's the worst.
I hope my mutuals (and most others honestly) know that when I follow them back, it's basically me saying I think their shoes are cool and that we could sit together at lunch or smth... 👀
You are so free to dm me I will actually be so happy. I will probably be really freaking awkward but also yall are chill I'm just a nervous wreck.
List of random obscure stuff I'm fascinated with for no reason, or maybe there is a reason, but I'm too tired to figure it out:
1. Small spaces that aren't really safe given the overall environment, but that still feels safe for whatever reason. (Ex. 2D's underwater room from Plastic Beach, my own room, horror game safe rooms, the backseat of cars driving at night.)
2. The cold. Any version. The Arctic, snow in Texas, the sound of a box fan in the middle of winter. Snow. I like the cold. I like walking in it and having it surround me.
3. Blue noise. The ambiance noise. It's my favorite kind. It sounds cold. Ain't that neat?
4. Early 2000s nostalgia. This one's more understandable, considering I grew up in the 2000s. Particularly focused on the technology because young me was a big fan of the 'puter. Throw in a DS, and I'm sold.
5. Nautical stuff. I know next to nothing about sailing, but you bet your ass I love me some boats and sailors. Oh, or lighthouses and lighthouse keepers. Not so much pirates as just old people sailing boats. Make it cold and thats even better. Like that one oil rig horror game? Loved it. The ocean is cool too sometimes. Especially stingrays. Love em. You know what actually?
6. Stingrays. Funny dudes. Favorite animal. Any kind of ray, really. Mantaray, eagle ray, cownose ray... I think they're very cool.
7. Carousels. I like the pretty horses, fucking sue me. I'd like to design them, especially the ones with all types of animals. The ones on boardwalks or outside aquariums in particular are very cool because they have all the sea creatures.
This may be a little controversial but: Bark! Bark!
And something you're really not gonna want to hear: woof woof
Sometimes I look at my partner and remember she's actually this ancient ethereal being made up of stars and magic and I can see her horn and her hooves. She's so beautiful I'm rendered speechless.
Then other times I look at them and see this stinky cat. They're still beautiful ofc just being stinky.
I love my girlfriend. She follows no rules and does what she wants.
I wear this collar because it's STYLISH! AND MY GIRLFRIEND GAVE IT TO ME >:[
It makes me feel NICE and I LOVE HER
Dear wild canine alterhumans, you’re allowed to use and enjoy domesticated canine esc gear. Collars and chew toys and dog beds. You’re still wild.
"Its just a game meh meh meh"

It's actually the one reliable piece of media I have had for my entire life. It's actually the place where I made the most memories with my family and friends. It's actually the easiest way I've found to make genuine connections with people.
It's actually the feeling of immersing myself into a place that I know for a fact is safe. Actually? It's where I've made entire stories and worlds. It's actually my home and where I feel I can be unapologetically myself without the risk of someone putting me down for being authentic.
Yeah, it's just pixels and blocks, and sometimes the community can suck. But at its core? It's a game about creation and coming together to make the most out of a blank world. Beyond that, its just a world that you dont even have to make anything in to just enjoy it. It is its own little universe that I can return to at any point, and it will always be welcoming.
I just wanna carry my frog and raccoon plushies in my pockets :(
I need carrying around a stuffed animal friend to be normalized
Be like me
Load up fallout 4
Play until I look around and my room is completely dark
Realize I have not eaten today (don't do this part)
Go into kitchen, find a hunk of smoked brisket in the fridge. Cut off a chunk and go to town on it. No sauce. Nothing. Just meat.
Heavily push down the urge to growl at the dogs because it's my food.
Also find a container of chopped up cucumber. Eat a handful of it.
Feel satisfied.
Go back to fallout.
Inside me there are two wolves.
Only one of them is actually wolf, and it's watching, exasperated, as the other wolf (a puppy) jumps around asking for a treat.
Playing so much fallout 4. Absolutely losing my mind. Is here the place I can yap about my goofy ass vault dweller dude or do we all just shut up and die about that stuff? Because I'd love to tell you all about Nicholas Marino the drag queen mad man in love with the other Nick and how my friends jokingly call them Nick squared. I'd love to tell you about The Mariner and how they're literally siblings. I'd love to tell you how he found a home in Far Harbor and it almost killed me leaving it. ID LOVE TO TALK ABOUT HOW MUCH HE HATES MIRELURKS AND MISSES HIS DEAD WIFE!!!!
but idk if yall would be into that. Anyways.
God,
Let me marry my wife
Let me make a home
where all the ghosts of the kids I grew up with can feel safe.
Let me show my future children
that their differences are beautiful.
Let me live long enough
to have younger queer kids view me as a sign that they can prevail,
that things get better.
God,
Let things get better.
The day I buy a car with no cd player is the day I hang my head and cry.
I think all computers should have cd slots and all phones should have headphone ports send tumble
I need to go to the aquarium and walk around to look at all the cool fish and have my ears perk up and my tail wag. I need to put my big nose and paws on the glass and whine excitedly. I GOTTA BARK AT THOSE FISH.
Hiiii. Joining this cuz it's fun
I'm a polytherian. My theriotypes are a coyote, wolf, raccoon, and my main type is a mutt resembling the chernobyl dogs.
I'm also crow hearted
I have a few heart homes, one that is particularly tied to my dog theriotype, and the other is just my idea of Minecraft. I've been debating whether or not it is as well or if I just feel extremely drawn to it, but also Far Harbor from Fallout 4.
I consider myself to be a kind of shape shifter in the way that I experience life. I am almost always partially shifted into something. I'm just a creature man.
I don't know how else to describe the way I look usually to people other than a weird radioactive dog. Weird eyes. Weird, slightly green fur. Just strange.
hey alterhumans/alterbeings, tell me about your identities! i'll start:
i'm a magpie therian
i'm foxhearted
sometimes i'm also a machine and/or an angel, it fluctuates. i specifically feel connected to the comparisons between the divine and the mechanical
i love being called a thing and it/its pronouns are awesome
i'm fictionflicker
A little late but here's a dumb meme I made for the fourth I thought yall would enjoy
Never forget the people who worked to give us the place we have today. Don't stop working towards it. They're still trying to take everything from us. Still. They're trying to kill us. They're trying to brand us as something illegal or dangerous. Never shut up about trans rights, about bipoc rights, never shut up about giving rights to the people who have clawed their way to be here, and who demanded their seat at the table because no one would give it to them.
They're going to keep trying to take our power away from us, to have us forget who we are and our roots. We shouldn't let them. Keep believing in change and love and acceptance for our community and keep fucking working for it. If we don't, we're failing everyone who came before us.
I want a family. I want a family with my wife, and I want kids and a house we can call our own, and I'm ready to fight tooth and nail for that.
Knowing that trans women of color started the movement in the united states and were literally immediately erased and excluded from what they started is the most deeply jading knowledge.
It is the original sin of the so-called queer community and it damns it from the cradle.
Sometimes I miss sleep
Not what I do every night, not what I'll continue to do for the rest of my life. I miss sleep.
I miss the slow process of laying down, with the buzzing noise of my childhood friend's TV or the distant sound of the train.
I miss my little sister telling me she could hear Rudolph on the roof or asking me for a story.
I miss the feeling of falling into sleep, and I say falling so literally, as I can still identify that familiar drop in my stomach before I succumbed.
I can still picture that same image of myself falling, not unlike Alice, into a never-ending tunnel of quilts, slowly until I headed off to my own wonderland.
I miss waking up in a sea of warmth, a hand, or a leg thrown across me, snores ringing through the room. Light hits my face from a window coated in dust. My pajamas are the same clothes I'd worn the night prior, that I'll wear again today.
I miss my childhood friend's mother softly asking me if I'd come with her to get breakfast for everyone. I don't have to put on my shoes.
I miss the feeling of falling asleep on the way to the donut shop while Green Day sings me a lullaby. The car shakes as we hit pothole after pothole, but it's still the best I'll feel for months.
I miss the way my friends mother will lightly hold a cold bottle of orange juice to my skin, the way she'll laugh softly when I shrink away from it.
I miss her asking me if I'm awake yet.
I miss answering that it's too early.
I'm pretty sure I wanna make my next mask a raccoon. I'm trying to make one for all my theriotypes, so I'll need to do raccoon, wolf, and coyote still. Wolf and coyote have similar shapes, though, and I wanna make something a little different than my usual... idk we'll see :D
i'm ok with being human shaped if I can do it eerily. with an unsettling air about it.
Idk if anyone cares, but I collect PEZ and LOOOOK
TINY PEZ SHELF!!!!!
Also size comparisons:
Shelf next to my PEZ girl pop figure :]
PEZ next to Steve (big dog PEZ)
I love being a silly little guy on the internet. In real life, I am constantly plagued with deep, all-seeing, and despairing eyes. On Tumblr, I'm just a weird dog. That's beautiful, I think.
!ALERT! ALERT!
HIGHLY RADIOACTIVE CANINE SPECIMEN (me) HAS BREACHED CONTAINMENT TO NEARBY WOODLANDS (has gone camping)
