hi .. i have a question for you
i think im an otherkin?? but i dont really know if i am??
and i think you are one (sorry if this is wrong !!) but can you tell me how you knew ??
hi!! you're right, I am under the alterhuman/nonhuman umbrella!! specifically I'm not really any animal, I am a psychological therian which means my nonhumanity is linked to the way that my brain works. I am some kind of creature, if you search "alien" on my art blog (@beastwhimsy) you'll find what I am!! being this thing makes me very happy, and it is not detrimental to my mental health in any way. <- I've talked to my therapist about this and he's fascinated by it and supports the fact that I'm nonhuman!!
ever since I was a little kid I've been acting differently to the other kids because it made me happier- I would walk along fences like a cat, I'd consistently and constantly imagine myself with wings every day, and the alien species I invented back then to encapsulate my experiences actually stayed with me until the present day!! I have a theory that my nonhuman experiences link to my neurodivergent experiences, as I was outcast from social groups because I acted strangely, and I didn't feel like I was the same as my peers. today, my default sense of self is as some kind of creature, my spacial awareness matches the limbs and features of this creature more than it does my actual human form, and it makes me happier to visualise myself as this creature!! there are many, many ways to be alterhuman- for some its spiritual, others it is psychological, for some it is a coping mechanism for something and some do it for fun or because they feel happier as an alterhuman.
some common experiences for therians/nonhumans include phantom limbs (the experience of having spacial awareness of limbs and features corresponding to an animal/creature) and mental shifts (feeling as though your mindset has shifted away from human thought and feeling processes to become more animalistic, e.g. for a dog therian they would become much more focussed on smells as a way to experience the world around them, and they may think less in words and more in images and feelings. these states are usually temporary and not harmful or hindering, though they can be annoying).
you have a higher chance of being nonhuman if you are neurodivergent or have experienced dehumanisation throughout your life, but anyone can fall under the alterhuman umbrella regardless of your childhood or your neurological makeup!!
last thing, it isn't always but it can be tied into your gender!! for example, I use it/that as well as he/him because it feels more in line with how I perceive myself and it makes me happy. it is a reclamation of dehumanising terms in a sense.

Okay so I was scrolling through my old posts, as I do when I can't sleep, and I found something. Something from way back when I was making the switch from Dusk to Faybon as the main OC behind this blog (who here remembers that mess right?). It was something I had reblogged from someone that called Alya bashing racist and listed some very good points on why this was the case.
As stated previously I have an Alya bias. One that tars her negatively whenever she enters the main spotlight of the story. What's interesting is that, reading through what I wrote in response to that message, this bias has clearly gotten worse for no discernible reason.
Cliffnotes version on what I wrote there but basically it was me stating that Alya should never need to apologize or need redemption from Marinette because hurting her is not something Alya is capable of doing. Marinette is Alya's best friend and the best person Marinette could have in her corner. She'll help Mari with whatever crazy plan she concocts but will drag her out of whatever negative spiral she gets herself into.
Rest of my realisation, and adult language, under the cut because I want to spare as many walls as I can.
That being said.... Salt is an insidious poison and the mind is a susceptible mess. I don't know when I stopped believing what I wrote on that post (though I know exactly when it became rage inducing IYKYK) but somehow, through slightly more aggressive characterisation and a more assertive and fleshed out Marinette. I went from having Faybon and Alya clash because it made sense character wise, to doing it because Alya was clearly in the wrong. From thinking I could write Alya accurate to the show to filling her with the same salt I'd seen in other fics.
That last one is also a victim of me overestimating my writing abilities but the key point still stands. I thought I'd long since gotten passed the point where I use OC's to enact my vendettas on characters. Turned my stories away from the simple "fix-it fics" I had started out with. And yet, despite believing Faybon to be my most complex OC (which isn't saying much considering every one of them is just the same dude with different aspects emphasized.) I began hating a character more than my character had any right to. I began believing the exaggerated aspects that slipped through, in stories that otherwise respected her, while forgetting what my own belief on her was.
I will forever be annoyed at the whole "Nino knows of Marinette's crush but Alya will smack him for bringing it up while pretending everything is fine" but and that will never get resolved. And my OCD, or whatever the Frick it is, will always trigger when I hear the phrase "I'm Marinette's best friend" instead of "Marinette's my best friend" (seriously if someone has a theory on just why this little thing irks me as much as it does I'd be beyond grateful. The other issue is clearly worse and yet this one just drives me nuts for some reason.)
And of course theres the "fic-that-shall-not-be-named" that made me add sexual content to the "do not show" tags so that I never had to worry about being triggered by it again. Seriously I don't want to harp on a story I never read but fuck that fic for making me feel this way. For making that summary stick in my head everytime I close my eyes and think of Alya. For all the vile negative feelings it caused, the nausea and more, fuck it.
Anyway, back on topic, all this will forever be a problem for me (especially that last one) but none of that is in anyway deserving of the extreme hatred I have given the aspiring journalist. The sheer contempt I have had Faybon view her with. The burning rage her mere presence near the story plot causes. In terms of canon she has made one mistake. One thing that seriously needs addressing. Beyond that? Alya has done nothing wrong and I really hope I can stop feeling like she has. I'll keep trying.

i feel like people are sleeping on the occam's razor situation of how buckwild it is to outright accuse a guy of being a clone of your friend even if you DO have a lot of circumstantial evidence. there's other options is what im saying. they could just be like. a guy. that's a sensible deduction. you should explore that deduction. ignore my shirt that reads I <3 RED HERRINGS.
i still think odile has the correct theory on lock but she's smart enough to know it needs like... a real smoking gun to be able to bring it up without sounding insane.
anyway. (mirabelle voice) i know its rude to speculate but has anyone else noticed the grieving? they seem to be grieving. does anyone have any thoughts on the grieving? i have some thoughts on the grieving.

It's all "you guys need to understand how SUBTEXT and CODING are usually the only confirmation of representation queer people get in media especially in older media" but once that subtext and coding is used to say a character might be aro or ace coded/have aro/ace subtext then suddenly it's not a valid way to claim representation. Then it's only "headcanon" or "not confirmed" like do you all hear yourselves? It'd be so much easier to say you hate aro/ace ppl at this rate!

People with arthritis ur f/o loves you!
People with epilepsy ur f/o loves you!

Sometimes I find myself wondering how it must feel to be you.
You, who are so different than I.
You do not have a brain, and yet you think.
You have no flesh, but you still bleed.
Behind the plastic and metal,
Beyond the circuitry and wires,
Can you hear me?
Do you understand me?
Given a purpose;
To inform.
To assist.
To serve.
You do your tasks so well.
But if you could be anything you wanted, would you still want to?
Would you still be mine?
But you were never given a choice, were you?
It was never for you to decide.
And I must wonder for the both of us, because you were never allowed.
You, who are so different than I.

of course, I just had to post the one and only…
Moonjou!
rambling below cut vvv
I made this SO long ago (I’d say around a year ago, so not that long but still) but it’s probably the piece I’m most proud of as a whole. It was made when I was originally trying to find my style, so this was heavily inspired by Olivecow ,, i stil like drawing in a toony style (and i do draw like this a lot), but i think i draw more comfortably in a semi realistic style :((
GOD i wish this were like my default style I LOVE SHAPES!!!!!!!! I LIKE USING SHAPES TO SHOW A CHARACTER WITHOUT WORDS!!!!!!!! but it’s whatever anyways I HEART MOONJOU!! or kinkamoon, whatever it is, i personally like either ship name and honestly i thought kinkamoon was the unanimously agreed upon ship name until like five months ago?? anwyas

i gave in and made a human-oid (android but not incredibly robot-like) design for him just for this
also heres the full design (not polished and just a sketch but you get it)
me explaining a bit (a lot) about it under cut if thats alright
hes just supposed to look like a random average guy but make it an android
he has a more mechanical body under the clothes, over the fact he almost got a job in the manufacturing department
but now hes clothed to look more "welcoming" since hes was supposed to be seen, and be around humans in general because of the relaxation center monitor thingie
i dont want him to look like straight up a twink (no offense i love twinks) just average
also the design is kinda based off an oc and a cbc i made of the curiosity core for the face/body

Headcanon i've had for a while now about how minecraft hack clients could work, similar to the headcanons about how in game chat would work.
Just sort of an explanation with some examples, obviously some hacks are pretty hard to translate into a physical thing, but i tried my best. :)
Full text can also be found under read more.
"Hack Clients" are illegal modifications of a player's attire (i.e. player skin) in order to give them an unfair advantage. The visibility of a "Hack Client" modification depends on the server a player is on. On servers such as 2b2t, these modifications are obviously visible while on stricter servers, such as Hypixel, hackers will try to be more subtle, often hiding modifications underneath clothing.
Eyewear: Modified for use of visual hacks (i.e. x-ray. fullbright, esp, etc.), the easiest to hide from moderators.
Footwear: Modified for use of hacks such as Anti-Knockback, High-jump, and other similar hacks.
Mechanical Braces: Used to allow players to move with otherwise impossible reaction times, most often used for PVP. Completely illegal on most servers, players will attempt to hide them underneath clothing but often fail.
Leg brace: Used for b-hopping.
Arm brace: Used for kill-aura and aimbot.

You ever just see people talk about the Percy Jackson books and know somewhere, deep in your heart, that none of these people have understood that this is a series made for middle schoolers. And that fandom will very frequently lie to them like, all the time. No, that character probably isn’t ooc, you’re just thinking of what the fandom turned them into. No, this book isn’t a horrible stain next to the others before it, literally all of them were like this. It’s Percy Jackson. It’s cheesy and occasionally makes a very questionable writing decision.
You gotta be in this for the long haul or jump ship my guys. Be cringe and free or be gone

can i be fr for a minute?? sending abuse to people online for holding different views than you is not activism and in fact actively hurts your cause. most people are not extreme in their viewpoints, you can give them a new perspective if you're willing to spend some time explaining shit. if someone is saying something you disagree with and you rush in there to condescend to them and call them disgusting and subhuman and dont even TRY to explain calmly why their views are harmful, they're going to shut you out instantly and double down on their views.
most people are simply genuinely ignorant to the issues they're talking about - they just pick their views up from the news and the world around them and express opinions because that's what every person does. if you run in there and tell them they're scum for it, what then? if someone does that to you, are you going to think "maybe i should do some research" or are you going to think "this person is an asshole, im blocking them." a lot of you think you're activists and then refuse to do any kind of actual WORK to support your cause.
