being physically nonhuman explains why I don’t really experience mental shifts. I am always mentally me. My brain is not human, and so I never shift from a more human brain to a more nonhuman brain. I just am.

Remember, not all nonhumans are therians or otherkin. Especially those of us who are clinical or endelic. Remember to respect psychotic, delusional, and schizophrenic nonhumans. And non-therian/otherkin nonhumans in general.

I wish I could accurately draw what I look like under my veil- the true me. I don't have the creative ability to do so and it makes me sad.

shoutout to therians who’s therianthropy fucking sucks, the therians who have severe species dysphoria, the therians who cant function like a human no matter how hard they try, the therians who would trade their current life for the life of their theriotype in an instant.

i wonder if anyone else goes through a time where they’re kinda sad and low energy and don’t really feel like connecting with their hyperfixations, but then some old, long abandoned, (and very cursed) interest suddenly resurfaces and it’s just like !!!!

All would be well in the world if I just had my tail…

Hello! I am curious as a phys nonhuman to another, do you have any plans to get permanent or non-permanent body mods?

I plan on getting tattoos of my species, and various tails, muzzles, etc etc. ^__^

Hello! I would like to get some permanent body mods. I also want a tattoo (or maybe several) of my species. I also would like fangs whether they be implants or just costume ones.

Thanks for asking!

I definitely stim with behaviors from my species!

I sway very frequently. While other snakes do this to judge distance, I do it to self soothe. It really helps me to regulate and to feel more in touch with my ‘type.

Another thing I frequently do is climb. I don’t know if this really counts as stimming, but oh well. I love to reach high places and dangle from branches. It makes me feel very safe and connected to myself. Often when I’ve reached my designated basking branch, I sway and swish all my limbs.

I also flick my tongue frequently for fun and to help me “reset” my face after emoting. So those are just a few behaviors I attribute to being a snake.

the species euphoria and the autistic joy I get from shaking my whole body like I'm trying to get water out of my fur. hits my autistic 'yote brain real good when I full body stim like that.

i usually do it when I'm stressed and trying to "shake off the bad vibes". It really helps me take a second to calm down from any stressful customer interactions and kinda helps me relax a bit.

I also do it involuntarily sometimes whenever I wash my paws or have to get my fur wet. I hate having wet fur, it's overstimulating and uncomfortable for me.

I also sometimes have a big urge to dig especially in like sandy areas or dusty areas. idk what my coyote brain wants to do but...sometimes you just gotta dig a hole and see what happens. plus digging in sand or grainy dirt feels so good sensory wise.

anyone else sometimes stim using a behavior their species does? or just have a behavior from their species/theriotype that they use/find themselves doing a bunch?

I'm so curious to know if other creatures do this too

Trying to stay normal about the physical nonhumanity symbol and not give in to the urge to immediately get it tattooed.
