Hey guys, reminder to everyone that I don't just identify with the terms nonhuman and therian, I fully identify as a canine alongside my (sadly) physical human body.
I am a physical nonhuman. I am a dog.
And I'm tired of seeing hate towards physical nonhumans/alterhumans in our own community. Physical nonhumans, endels, shifters, and clinical zoanthropes are all an important and valid part of our community. Sure we may look like humans to you, but we are animals. We are not 'crazy' or 'mentally ill' because of this.
Everyone in the community is an animal in their own way and we all have to learn to respect that.

also cuz i posting so much about endel recently: i saw someone list the diagnoses "needed" to adopt this label and i just want to correct this
[specific] diagnoses are not necessary to call yourself an endel, have never been necessary, and will never be necessary
delusions are a symptom, not a diagnosis. you dont need approval from anyone to use this label; read the definition and if it suits you and you like it, use it. same goes for any label, you dont owe anyone an explanation!

Something that makes me sad is how a lot of otherkin hate being human. Don’t get me wrong, I understand! But maybe I just have sort of thought about it in a different way.
You get to experience the world in a whole new perspective! You now have wonderful and complex human relationships, you are an intelligent species that can create art! Art! You can create things that no animal can, that not even any other human can because they are all so unique. You make love letters to yourself everyday, the art you make for your kintype, the clothes you wear, completely unique and curated just for that side of yourself. I mean isn’t it a wonderful thing to be able to experience both perspectives? To be able to put language to them? Speak to eachother about them! Nothing else in the planet can do that! You were a chance in billions to exist as you exist right now, and against all odds you’re here, and I think that’s beautiful.

just came to a sudden conclusion as to why a lot of the names i have used in the past, or that i align with right now, are nouns!
im not a human (as im otherkin, etc), and just like how you’d name a dog, cat, bird or any other animal something like “coco”, “cookie” or “courage” (or like how someone might name a pet dog an animal they are not, like “moose”, for example!) i enjoy noun (particularly food) based-names aswell!! just in a dragon way, or in the way of any other creature i may feel i am =03
curious to know if any other nonhumans/alterhumans/etc have this same feeling towards names!!

Musings on Psychosis
I realize now that my vampire 'type was a product of a psychotic episode that lasted throughout 2023. That episode has ended and it's been strange having certain perspectives of myself wrenched away from me. For around a year I was, perhaps, an endel in the immediate sense, but I wouldn't venture to call myself that now. It's hard for me to define now what vampires are to me. My general fascination with them is still there, and I remember the identity, shifts, and species dysphoria I experienced acutely, but that sense of self is distant now. I'm torn on whether I consider "vampire" to be a part of myself now - I know I certainly don't with the same intensity that I felt in psychosis. For a year I identified myself with monsters, werewolves, villains, and various morbid topics, and coming out of that was a harsh experience. In some ways I am no longer the person I was prior to the episode, or the person (monster/beast) I was during. All the changes psychosis has put me through have been unsettling - having it warp and change my identity on a confusingly temporary basis has been chaotic and deeply overwhelming.
I see a lot of endels and other psychotic folk on here with presumably permanent identities and sometimes I wonder whether anyone else has had experiences like mine. Especially those with episodic conditions like my schizophrenia/schizoaffective, where severity of psychosis changes over time and there may be periods of remission. I'm medicated, now, but I don't know for sure that this will never happen again. That I will never "become" a vampire again, or become some other species my psychotic brain decides to latch on to. My identity is fluid, and only after years of confusion have I realized that this fluidity is the product of a schizo-spectrum disorder. Maybe next time my identity has a total overhaul I'll recognize it as a psychotic episode - or maybe I'll be in too deep to realize, again.

one thing i really appreciate about having an identity based in psychosis is that i have unshakeable confidence about my identity and do not seek external validation whatsoever
you agree, im a dog? i know already. you disagree? you're the stupid one here. "shout out to --" sshhhhpt... be quiet... i literally dont care what you think because im a dog and that is a fact of my life. i have better doggy things to do than read the rest of ur note farm but thx [starts daydreaming about getting my rabies vaccine] ahhh ☺️ ..
nothing i or anyone else could ever say or do is going to affect my identity or how my identity interacts with the world because it's sort of its own Thing which controls itself, i guess. thats so cool
