Absolutely!!!
We actually growl a lot, not always on purpose, it's just instinct!
- Shay (They/it)
Wish growling/hissing was a more socially acceptable form of communication. Like, it's so effective: you hear a growl, you back off cuz you know you'll get bit otherwise.
All of this is a mood, including the tags, lol.
Our "many" disabilities disable us? Who would have guessed? Lol (this is mostly a dig at ourselves).

I often have to stop myself whenever I catch myself going “it’s just that easy” or “why can’t I be like this all the time?” after doing the most mundane shit without second thought.
It’s not that easy, I’m just having a really good day so far.
I can’t be like that all the time, I have a disability.
And that’s ok.
SAYING "HUMAN" TAKES AWAY FROM WHAT THIS IS SUPPOSED TO MEAN
There are plenty of beings that are not human or not fully human or not human "in the right way" (all of these fit under alterhuman) and they are not less than or bad for not being human. We are not human.
STOP USING HUMAN AND SIMILAR WORDS LIKE THIS PLEASE
(We are probably gonna end up deleting this reblog and just blocking this blog/account cause we don't want to deal with those who use human like this)

Lots of thoughts recently. Everything feels plastic.
I could go on and on about why all that AI "art" is bad. I could mention theft, lack of creativity, it's impact on the work field and environment, but countless people have already said all that. I wanted to touch on something that to me is the most utterly wrong about all of it.
Art is more than just something pretty to look at or listen to. It's therapeutic. It's a form of communication. A tool for human connection. It's a pure, human need.
Support real artists ☀️
Sorry, we haven't been posting lately. Our motivation and energy have been a bit worse lately.
Hopefully we will be starting to post more soon.
We will definitely be posting more about service dog stuff for us when we actually start the process of getting a service dog. We will probably have donation stuff for us when this happens cause we don't have too much money, lol. We have been trying to work on getting disability income (we always forget what it's actually called, lol) as we can't work but we have heard that it usually takes quite a while before beings actually get it. And the body's dad is disabled and a retired veteran so not too much money there either. And the body's brother doesn't work (and also might not be able to).
Anyway, all of this is to say that we will hopefully be posting again soon and that we might be asking for donations once we properly work on getting a service dog, lol.

Little spoons but lots[?] of posts (kinda 3? Cause 2 reblogs are like as if we made comments but in reblogs. This would make 4).
Not sure what else to say.

Tw: sexual assault mentioned, and trauma/ptsd. All from past lifes and not explicit.
Talking about this once again, mainly cause I want to mention that it's from both of my "kin" lifes [Zuki and Cyan]. And it was likely more than once in both.
It sucks having to deal with the trauma even when in this body/life I/we have never experienced anything like that.
Anyway, just wanted to slightly vent again.
- Shay 🐾
Tw: sexual assault mentioned, trauma/ptsd, I think that's it? All of this is pretty much just past life, and it's not explicit, just mentioned by name.
Anyone else who experienced trauma in a past life that they haven't experienced in your current life, how do you deal with it?
I haven't ever been SAed in this life but I am pretty sure that I was at least once in a past life [maybe multiple past lifes, Zuki is the one that I am meaning rn]. And I have no real idea of how to go about dealing with this.
I feel shitty cause, like I've said, I have never been through that in this life, but it still affects me about as much as if I had. And I don't really know how to talk about this shit with people cause idk how they would react, even those that support and love me as I am [alterhuman/nonhuman stuff included] but having trauma from my past life that I haven't experienced here is kinda different.
Idk, I just want to know if anyone has any advice or anything for this situation.
Sorry for this type of post, I try not to bring too much stuff like this into my account, but I feel like I need to. I'll try and keep my posts more light-hearted or, at least of course, give trigger warnings or content warnings when they're not light-hearted.

Poem number whatever, lol.
Older poem, wrote this a while ago.
Tw: Death, and none others that I can think of.
Life is unfair
Time flies
You love and you lose
That's the three phrases
You need to learn
To understand
Life isn't fair
Good people have bad things happen
Bad people have good things happen
Time flies
It feels slow at times
But it flies really fast
You love and you lose
You never know when someone
You love will die
Life is unfair
Time flies
You love and you lose
Us when we've been using these terms already and then find this, lol.
We don't really like using alter/headmate for any of us, and we were talking to one of our friends [who is also plural], and packmate was suggested as an alternative.
So we used packmate instead of alter/headmate and we use pack instead of system (we also use plural/plurality instead of system).
- Shay 🐾
Pack / Pack Mate
[PT: Pack / Pack Mate]
Aaa, a system member who prefers Pack/Pack Mate instead of alter/headmate(s); a term for when you use Pack/Pack Mate instead of alter/headmate(s).

Do any other werecreatures/werebeings feel effects from the full moon before the full moon actually is?
Like the proper full moon is supposed to be tomorrow but we have been feeling very were like for a few days.

More bad memories from my life as Zuki. Cause of course my brain hates me.
Tw: abuse, school abuse[? Idk what to call it], muzzles, quirk discrimination, shock collars, bullying, I think that's it for this one?
When I was younger, my bio mother was told to use a muzzle and shock collar that "neutralized" quirks on me. Cause my quirk was "dangerous" and "needed to be controlled." These were supposed to be illegal to use on anyone, even the most dangerous villain. But of course, people didn't listen and used them on those with "evil" or "villain" quirks (especially certain mutant related quirks).
It kinda makes sense that a hero like my bio mother could get one, but what's 'interesting' is that once I got into middle school, some of the teachers also had them. I don't know where they got them, but whatever. My middle school and high school both used the muzzles and shock collars on me.
When I was in middle school, I was still very cautious and shit. I never fought back, I never started a fight, I never did any of that. But yet anytime someone attacked me, I got punished. They would put the muzzle on me saying something about how I was bad and deserved it and the same thing with the shock collar. But 'luckily' the shock collar was less often used.
In high school is when I started fighting back sometimes. It was still usually only if someone else was being hurt [whether physically or verbally]. When it was just me, I would usually not fight back. Sometimes, I did fight back when it was just against me fully, though.
This is all I'm gonna talk about rn.

Rebloging our own post cause we really would love some more advice!
- Shay 🐾
Question for the systems/plurals (or whatever term that beings use for those types of things) that have intentionally created alter(s)/headmate(s) [or whatever term].
How do you actually go about doing that? We are interested in trying to make/create some packmates (our version of alters/headmates) but we don't really know how to go about that.
We hope that we have explained this in a very respectful way.
- Shay 🐾 & Mystery ❔️ (when we started writing this post, Mystery was also in front, but not when posting this)
Edit (we originally just had this in the comments, but it's worth adding to the actual post): Add on to our original post. We have seen tumblr posts of "make a headmate/alter," are those recommended? (Hope this makes at least some sense). We don't necessarily mean using one or asking for one to be made for us. We just mean how they are formatted and all that. But also, would beings recommend using one of those?
