"I'm a fictionkin but not in the delusional way!" Do me a favor and duct tape your mouth shut. I will not tolerate the disrespect for those who suffer from delusions. This goes for other non/alterhuman communities as well (therian, otherkin, etc). If you think you can act that way around me I want you to know with the most utmost sincerity you are not welcome on my blog and I wouldn't want you around even if you were in a quarantine bubble. I say this as someone who suffers from psychotic symptoms due to depression that can cause me delusions.

"This artist is actually a creep" "This artist is secretly weird" "This artist is gross" "This artist might be x but idk" "This artist's content is probably fetish" "This artist does x so I am assuming they are y"

I literally don't want to hear it unless you have actual confirmation that a person is an abuser or a bigot. "Vibes alone" is not a reason to frame someone who is just going about their life and trying to pay rent. Because really, what are you trying to cause? Especially when it's like a random marginalized creator with only 200 followers anyway like what are you gaining from trying to slander them based on "weird vibes"?

Sometimes I wanna get my tits removed. Not necessarily in a gender dysphoria way but "due to the positioning of nipples on most chiroptera, I should not have breasts and my nipples should be on my armpits".

Bluebeard Drake

(Ostensibly) not named for its blue throat, but for its habit of decorating its nest with the bones of animals (and sometimes even other dragons) during courtship. Nesting dragons and young will chew on these bones, both for calcium and to wear their beaks down.

Dude the hate for mentally ill, mad, psychotic, etc alterhumans is so prevalent its insane. Unfortunately among the younger therians and alterhuman that all kind of learn from tiktok echo chambers because there's this huge push and conformity to ALWAYS make sure it's: "We have a spiritual connection to an animal, but we aren't crazy mentally ill people who think we're animals! That's disgusting and stupid haha those people are freaks!" and it's like guys you gotta learn alterhuman history and also just stop being ableist maybe lol

Dude I need ppl to get real normal abt mental-illness born alterhumanity real fast

"Oh well alterhumanity is smth you're born w/ and there's all these rules !!!" No lmao

There are literally no rules, and I NEED ppl to stop spreading that false info online lmaoooo

Literally if you feel like an animal (nonhuman) in any way shape or form, then literally use the label.

Ppl irl will try their best to understand, and literally no one outside of the internet cares abt sum1's identity as much as you think they will.

Tbh just live true to yourself, and dude, shoutout to my alterhumans who are non-human in whatever way because of their neurodivergency/mental illness. I see y'all, and I love y'all.

You thought you could hide. You thought you could just wait it out. You were wrong. You can’t escape my wrath. It’s time for some ocean facts.

Paleodictyon Nodosum is a creature we’ve never seen alive, but whose distinctive hexagonal burrows we only recognize in the deep sea from 500 million-year-old fossils.

Brine pools are underwater reservoirs of dense, hyper-salty water. Living mussels form the banks of these deep-sea seas, but the water is so salty that anything that enters will die of toxic shock.

Venus’ Flower Basket is a sponge made of glass-like silica. A certain shrimp enters when they are larvae, but grows too large to leave the sponge by the holes through which they entered. Mated pairs of shrimp will spend the rest of their lives trapped in the sponge together.

Since red light has a long wavelength, it’s filtered out within 100 meters from the surface. Many deep-sea animals are red in order to hide better. However, the Black Dragonfish has a bioluminescent red spotlight. Since prey hasn’t evolved to see red, it’s practically invisible.

Okay, that’s all for now! Thanks for reading!!

how do manatees even survive as a species if they're way too peaceful. somehow nothing wants to eat them. not gators or sharks or whales

it's quite simple, they're their ecosystem's version of a megafauna grazing mammal! they're simply too large for most predators to bother. they are, in fact, fucking huge.

see, manatees don't actually live out in the open ocean. they live in rivers, estuaries, and shallow seagrass bays like this:

so the thing is, large macropredator sharks and superpredators like killer whales don't go here! they stay out in open deep water, so they never really cross paths with manatees in the first place.

there ARE sharks here, but they're small! adult manatees are completely out of their prey size range, and they're more interested in fish anyway.

alligators do live here also, but even a very large alligator can't really dream of preying on an adult manatee! again, they're simply too big.

so, yeah. this is just another case of "this mammal is able to get away with being a gentle giant by simply growing too large for any predator in its area to touch" and I think that's beautiful.
