The appearance outwardly of my physical body is an illusion. I wish the fur, wings, fangs and whatnot could actually be seen. It's there, but the illusion, the veil, the glamour..
geez the heart attack this hawk just gave me. all it did was fly overhead, but all my muscles tensed for impact…
Does anyone else (particularly endels) have an issue taking care of themself sometimes due to species dysphoria? I am a divine creature and this body is just a shell I’m living in. It’s difficult for me to take care of myself currently since it directly clashes with who I feel my real self is. It feels like pretending to be human brings me farther from my true self/form. I outwardly play the part of human for the sake of the people around me, but I don’t know…sometimes I get tired <_>
Made a meme about my experience with autism, and it seemed to resonate with people on Reddit so... here ya go.
the way my limbs operate is like in veggietales, how they just materialize hands when they need them
physical nonhumans/therians are those who believe that they are in some way physically an animal. A person may believe their DNA is that of a wolf’s, or that their brain/internal organs are literally that of an otter. They may also believe that under certain circumstances they can physically transform into an animal. often this is related to psychosis/delusions, but it may be due to another reason too.
At least that’s what I understand to the best of my knowledge, if anyone has a better description let me know!
*this is kind of as a coping mechanism for my shitty ass life atm im not just "doing it for fun"

I just saw your post, if you’re still doing stimboards could you do one for dragonkin?
dragonkin stimboard!! i had a lot of fun with this one, i really hope you like it ^_^
I love that my therapist agrees with me that the point of my treatment is functionality not sanity. Maybe for some there is a need to be sane in order to live how they want, but that is not the case with me.
I don’t need to be compliant to human’s beliefs in order to function and be happy. In fact, pretending I am human and that I think the same way they do is actively harmful for me.
Sanity is a concept made up by humans. They decide when a belief is acceptable, unconventional, or wrong. I would not be considered sane by most people’s standards. That does not make me wrong.
I am inhuman. I am me.
I don’t know if it has to do with the neurodivergence or the nonhumanity but my relationship with pets is a bit odd. they are more siblings or children than anything else. we are both creatures which is something humans often fail to recognize/respect.
the rats I take care of are my friends. not mine through ownership, but mine through relationship.
I doubt this view is really all that uncommon in the nonhuman community, but I have yet to see much talk about it.
