Alterhuman coining: Othermarrowed 🦴

🞜 Definition 🞜

[pt] Definition [/pt]

Othermarrowed is a term for those who are in-between being otherhearted and otherkin in some way.

Possible reasons for this include:

Having had a past life as a certain creature/being, but not fully identifying as such in this life.

Rejecting humanity to the point that one feels more like their hearttype than a human.

Experiencing frequent or highly notable phantom limbs or other shifts surrounding one's hearttype.

Becoming so connected with one's hearttype that the lines between identifying with and identifying as feel blurred.

Not fully understanding the difference between otherhearted and otherkin, making one feel unaligned with either label.

And more!

I've seen this idea talked about a few times, but I couldn't find any actual term or coining anywhere. So apologies if this exists already!

Cambikin is a similar term; however, one who is othermarrowed is typically not shifting between being otherkin and otherhearted, but are instead typically stagnant or only somewhat fluid between the two. (Those with a fluid sense of identity may still use othermarrowed, of course!)

I went with a bone theme to kind of play off of the "it's in my bones" and similar sayings. "Marrowtype" would be the othermarrowed equivalent to "kintype / hearttype."

🞜 Symbol & Flag 🞜

[pt] Symbol and flag [/pt]

A rhombus shape was chosen for the symbol as it is somewhat in-between the shape of a heart and a star. The two lines inside represent both otherheartedness and otherkinity, and are also meant to look like bone marrow inside a bone. And the wavy line is meant to look like a bone, as well as represent the spectrum of identities.

Also made a flag. The stripes don't really have any special meanings, just chose cream cuz bone color and then colors I thought would look nice.

therian mb requests are open!

Feraveli and otherpaw are two terms that I really enjoy. I think they help break therians out of the stereotypes that tend to be placed on us without getting rid of something that (I personally see) is a part of our culture.

Doing quads and wearing maskes, and dressing in certain aesthetics doesn't make us therians even if it is something that we tend to do and mean a great deal to a lot of us. And these terms also gives outsiders a chance to enjoy what they want without getting tangled up in the therian community.

Feraveli

An individual who enjoys the aesthetic of (sometimes specific) animals and nature.

Otherpaw

Someone who enjoys to dress up and roleplay as an animal(s)

realising i have a hearthome theme of habitable space universes.

(homestuck, star wars, lethal company)

GUYS!!! any other watchers that feel like they are realm smp keepers or observer. like theyre straight up the same thing. omniscient purple beings with eye motifs. watching and pulling strings of multiple worlds. pulling people into worlds of suffering and corruption. HELLO??

also the universe works in beautiful ways. my watcher oc from like 3 years ago was named Tau. which i just learned is a greek character which the first keepers were named after!!! my name is tau ohh my god!!!!

BugGender

(don't know who first coined it)

~ Buggender is a faunagender that is connected to anything commonly thought of as a bug. It may be used by someone who species regresses, but it doesn't have to be. This could also be an aesthetigender that is connected to bugs.

Pronouns: bug/bugs/bugself ; insect/insects/insectself ; fly/flys/flyself ; dirt/dirts/dirtself ; buzz/buzzs/buzzself ; sting/stings/stingself

i totally get this, its nice to see it in words.

im not white which i feel like the majority of the community is.. i feel out of place

while im not what would be considered plus-size , i am also not super skinny which makes me feel like i look stupid doing quads

speaking of, im already pretty bad at quads and hate how dumb i look on fours. my body doesnt look how im supposed to at all! (dog)

the weird thing is im pretty comfortable with my body's appearance. until i want to express my nonhumanity through it... like eww im not dog enough. im not holy enough.

and thats another thing. watchers are usually interpreted as tall, slender, and greyish-white skinned. i am not even close to any of those. buhhhhhhh :(

Does anypony else feel like you're not allowed to have certain 'types or do certain things because of your appearance, like you can't help but constantly think "You're not allowed to be this because of this"

I'm not allowed to be a deer because deer are cute and I am not cute. I'm not allowed to be my kintypes because they are all pretty and I am not. I am not allowed to be this kintype because they struggle with this and I struggle with the opposite. I am not allowed to be this character because they have this body type and I do not. I am not allowed to wear gear because only pretty people are allowed to wear gear and I am the only one who is not pretty, everyone else is so beautiful it hurts. I am not allowed to wear makeup because it will never be how you really look, makeup is for pretty people which I am not. I am not allowed to learn how to dress or wear nice clothes because that's for pretty people which I am not. I am not allowed to act like my theriotypes even in private because I am not pretty enough for that it would just be shameful and embarrassing.

I want to be pretty to do and experience the things everyone else does without feeling so much shame and disgust but I don't know how, animals in the wild don't have to deal with this it's not fair
