offering a hug to all the trans people with traumatic religious upbringings; we didn’t deserve what they did to us. we deserve love, community, and acceptance. i’m here for you
I want to wear this but it is sensory hell but I will wear it anyway because the way it looks makes me feel happy.
(sorry i'm a different alter that forgets tings within 0.1 s) Not sure how much of this is aplicable to you as a fae changeling; but have you ever wondered: What would happen if the human infant were to be randomly be switched back in by your fae ancestors? What if like me; you are more ok as the opposite human glimmer sex and transition the glimmer and then switch back out for the original human infant? (or any equivalent) We generally as fae lack common human empathy but it's still entertaining to ponder the concept of "what if" the human infant were to return to whatever we did to the glimmer perception of them. Sorry if this makes little sense i'm fronting as an alter we aren't usually and i can't formulate things as well as the others.
I think this is a really interesting thing to ponder. I’ve never wondered this before. I don’t actually know if I can even answer this at the moment since I am currently severely lacking in the empathy department. I will try to give a better response when I have thought more about it.
I intend to modify my glamour quite a bit, so the idea of the human being swapped back in is very entertaining to me. They would surely be surprised at the very least.
No need to apologize, you worded your question well.
A quick reminder: your nonhuman experiences are your own. They don't have to be 'cute' or 'fun' or 'aesthetic' and don't feel weird if your nonhuman behaviours aren't like the average experiance.
There is no average nonhuman experience, don't think too much about how others perceive your behaviours because it's no one else's business.
I can only think of a few right now but for me it’s:
-meditation definitely
-basking
-hiking/being outside in general
-seeing other reptiles in the wild
-warm days (especially in spring)
im bored so, whats something you do/see/hear/smell that triggers a shift? ill go first :)
for me its
-eating really juicy fruits
-quadrobics (pretty rare for me to shift when doing this though)
-forest noises/wolf howls!
-meditation (still getting the hang of this one)
-and also certain smells like rain :)
Anyone else grew up in an overly religious household that disallowed you from playing pretend in certain ways? For example, I was not allowed to pretend I have magical powers.
Also, being banned from saying normal words? I could not say I hated something. "Hate" was treated as a curse word and I still struggle to this day with saying stuff like "I hate scratchy socks" without feeling like a bad person somehow.
Another thing: thinking it's okay if you slack off in class because your parents say you're all going to heaven this year anyway (the rapture). It's crazy thinking about how fucking normal such a terrifying statement was to hear. "But will God let me bring my teddybear?" "You won't need him."
So many innocuous things were treated as satanic. Anything referencing magic was automatically evil (unless the creator was a 'professing christian' aka lotr, narnia) which meant everything from D&D to Lucky Charms were banned.
Such made me very afraid of things like demonic possession, not reaching adulthood before the rapture, getting in trouble for having friends who like Harry Potter, my brother going to Hell, some random new rule being pulled from the bible, etc etc.
knits you one of those silly little snake sweaters so you don't get cold
^_^ thank you!!
me irl
being both autistic and having adhd is just unstoppable force: *need to brush teeth because teeth feel bad™️* vs immovable object: *intense hyperfocus and horrible executive functioning*
today’s thoughts : is escapism or just a hyperfixation
A note on terms: I do not use the terms therian or otherkin. I may technically fit into these categories, but I do not like these labels (nothing against people who do use them though). I am a physically nonhuman shapeshifting changeling fae creature, and I am a holothere.
I may occasionally use other tags, but these are the only nonhuman labels I feel really suit me.
