To all the incorporeals who hate eating: don't worry, I'll help you (by eating all of your food)
It's so weird to me that part of syscourse is about whether tulpamancy is "valid" or not. I thought that it's its own established thing. Bronies were making MLP tulpas while most of us were in elementary school
Anyways, remember that one 4channer who accidentally turned their pinkie pie tulpa into a perpetually screeching demon? Shit was fucked
Some creatures might bite me for saying this, but I think that us having human bodies is cool, actually, because it allows a lot of different species to have common ground and interact peacefully when they would otherwise have to fight for survival, eat each other, drive each other to madness, etc.
So the "every species is sentient" dilemma isn't as bad in this case as it would be if, say, humans existed along with sentient bio-tapeworms or sentient bio-wolves existed along with sentient bio-deer. And by this I mean human-like sentience, since I believe that most species are already sentient to some degree
Otherkinity and therianthropy make a lot of otherwise hypothetical moral dilemmas a lot more real, such as "what if every single species on earth was sentient and sapient" and "what if fictional characters could see what kind of art people share of them on the internet"
does anybody have that cat poem, you know the one. not mary oliver's poem. the one about a cat growing up with you like brothers but him still being small whereas you've grown tall. i need a good cry
Edit: I should have probably said this earlier, but I will not be sharing donation asks. I have trust issues due to being scammed and intimidated by beggars IRL. Sorry!
I am a 20-something autistic alterhuman and i use she/it (sounds like "shit" hehe) pronouns. My kintypes are:
cat therian
energy being/light entity otherspin (i'm an alien being, not an angel! but i don't know the name of my species yet :( )
Both kintypes are psychological and spiritual. I additionally identify with the voidpunk label.
In this blog I will post about my alterhumanity and occasionally about fandom and special interest related stuff. Here are my special interests:
animals
the hippie subculture and all things psychedelic (although i don't take drugs recreationally other than occasionally alcohol)
as my spintype implies, energy beings, cosmic/eldritch beings, angels and anything that may be considered a "higher being"
Lastly, since i'm here for a good time, so I will block anyone who...
posts discourse of any kind
has "Zionists/Pro-Israel DNI" in their bio (I grew up in Israel and still have family there)
calls me a "starseed" or an "indigo child" or tries to worship me
and that's all! I am looking forward to finding new creature friends :)
I’m not really a fan (at all) of this persistence within the therian community that, if you are domesticated, this means you’re just a “cutesified” version of your wild (or wild-er) counterparts.
Being a dog was never a “stepdown” from being a wolf or a fully-wild canid for me. In-fact, it was always the opposite. Being a wolf would ignore the characteristics I’ve been bred to have and therefore indulge in; instinctually or not, which would diminish the entirety of me.
-Sure, a wolf spends a good portion of its life chasing cervids down. Sure, a wolf spends its life trying to survive. But why are these acts suddenly synonymous with “far stronger” and “far cooler”? -And who said domesticity was simple? It seems inherently disrespectful to prod that “wild is better”, implying that the usage of domesticating a specimen..helping eachother in the act of work, through blood and sweat, is just some “foolish game of domination.”
I like being domestic, I love it. I prefer it over being “wholly wild” - Because being domestic is strength, it’s the hunger of needing something so bad that you find eachother time and time again. Human and dog. Domestication was never “the easy way out”, it’s just another form of life - another life being born. I just.. have never been a fan of this assumption that domestication is a loss of harsh wilderness, when domesticity has never been inherently easier.
