It Feels Slightly Weird To See Others' "views" On The Dynamics That Are Different From Mine, Lol.

Picked nuance because of multiple reasons.

Firstly, we don't really use system for us [we use plural or pack mostly, lol].

Secondly, a lot of our sources (I am also gonna include my kins in this because yes) may seem "human" at first glance, but none of us have ever been human.

We all are nonhumans.

survey!!

*if you have multiple fictives in your system answer for either whoever is fronting or whoever wants to answer

*if your source doesn't neatly fit into the nonhuman and human binary pick either what's closest or pick nuance

alterhuman = anyone who identifies as/is not entirely human, whether in full or in part

feel free to share your sources & identities in the replies/tags!!

Tw/cw: suicide, all caps in parts of our post

Ok, this is a great post, love it, thank you.

BUT PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING; TAG OR ADD THE TRIGGER WARNING FOR SUICIDE!! SOME BEINGS NEED TO BE ABLE TO FILTER POSTS WITH THAT OUT SO PLEASE ACTUALLY FUCKING TAG IT!!

As I said, it's a great post, and we love it, but still, tags of this kind are very important, so please tag any trigger warnings, especially suicide.

6th poem to post.

Tw/cw: fighting dog mentions, trauma (hinted at), abuse (hinted at), and aggressive dog mentions.

Trained Fighting Dog

I'm a fighting dog.

That's what I was

Made and trained for.

But you lie and say

"We did our best

To give her a

Good life and love."

You act innocent

When you are the

Ones who made me

Like this, a monster.

Yet somehow you

Make it out to be

Me who is the problem.

I'm a fighting dog.

Made and trained to be.

I do what you say

I do what you make me.

I am aggressive cause

Of what you did

I wish I wasn't.

Thanks for the reply!

We definitely think of it as better than the "functioning" label system (cause of what that system was originally for) but yeah every system has flaws.

So medium support needs seems to fit us.

As we don't have a job, and don't have a "caretaker". And we could go on but this is the main bits, lol. Basically, we have more support needs than a low support needs being and less support needs than a high support needs being.

- Shay 🐾

Can any being(s) explain exactly what each "level" of support needs mean? (High, medium, and low are the ones we have seen/heard)

Cause we literally aren't sure what we count under.

Like it almost seems like we are low-medium support needs or high-low support needs (like on the lower side of medium or higher side of low).

Does this make any sense?

- Shay 🐾

That sadly doesn't usually work for us. We'll just dismiss the timer or alarm and ignore what it was for, lol.

We need to probably do something else with the timers and alarms but not sure what.

Any disabled beings have any tips for other disabled beings?

We are kinda having a rough (ruff, lol) time lately.

We would especially love tips for work and how to figure out if working is actually an option right now.

- Shay 🐾

We'd like to try and do it today (let's say like 11:00/23:00, it's 6:20/18:20 rn) but technically it just needs to be done by Friday morning.

It's not too messy, mostly just some trash and making our desk a bit more clean and just that kind of shit. (It's the room we stay in, it's not technically our bedroom but we are in it more often than not and we sleep in it, lol).

- Shay 🐾

We need to clean a room, do any beings have any tips? (We need tips that keep in mind that our issues are mainly from AuDHD and chronic pain rn).

Tw/cw: blood, werecreatures, and vampires

JFJFJDKDKKKRKFKFK

Hate the times when I miss feeling and seeing blood on my paws, claws, and dripping from my fangs.

Like, please, I don't want to miss it, I probably shouldn't miss it.

I miss being a werecreature (more specifically a canine like werecreature), I miss feeling the rush of being in that form, I just miss it.

I don't know if I'm a vampire or not. Blood is just good and shit, idk, man. If I am, I miss it too.

- Shay (They/it) | werecreature hours I guess

Absolutely, it's a good feeling to know that you have everything you need close by!!

- Shay (They/it)

My family always gets annoyed I keep a bad with me (either in the car or on my person) but I need it

It has my money, my id/my learners permit, noise cancelling headphones, blue tooth headphones and ear buds, period pads, small snacks in case I didn't eat and/or I feel fainty, A book for in case I need something to focus on/fill time, a couple bracelets and a plushie to fidget with and help if I have a melt down, as well as my tablet for my music for car rides and to distract from the other over stimulating noises and my house keys, and a small notebook and a pen/pencil in case I need to write something down so I remember it or doodle

All in just a medium sized backpack

I don't always bring it in with me depending on the circumstances, but I like knowing everything I need I have at least somewhat close

We'd also like to reblog to add in that we would also appreciate if beings gave tips for good animal shelters and rescues. Like what to look for to figure out if a place is a good place to find/buy pets from.

Beings who know about ethical dog breeding/breeders in the USA, we have some questions.

(We are currently trying to find good ethical german shepherd dog breeders sort of around us to get a puppy so we can train [mostly professionally trained, we have a place in mind for that] to have a service dog).

Firstly, what should be looked for in a breeders?

Secondly, is it bad if a place/being breeds multiple breeds?

And just overall, how to find good ethical breeders.

Edit: Is it best to go for a working line, or does show line work fine for service dog work?
