You Ever Just *goes To Make Sandwhich* *gets Distracted And Writes A Hyperfixation Related Essay For

uhhhh since people are talking about the ugly part of alterhumanity I figured I’d throw in my two cents

Fear agression - I’ve heard a lot on prey drive so I’m not gonna add but fear aggression is a big thing too. not only getting spooked and whirling around, teeth bared and maybe biting on instinct. but also seeing people who you have bad experiences with and everything in you wanting to defend yourself violently when you really can’t/shouldn’t by human standards.

Body language - For the longest time I just nodded and slow blinked instead of waving. I still don’t really know how to show upset by human standards so I just curl my lip and wish I had anything else that could show my emotion like ears to flip back or fur to bristle. I don’t get human body language either except in the overlap between nonhuman and human. I do not know how to show human emotion because i have had a nonhuman body map for as long as I can remember. Also autism

pack mentality & attachment issues - idk how common this is but I am so viciously attached to my pack and my mate that sometimes it’s really hard to step back and realize that sometimes they’re wrong or that they should fight their own battles. Being apart from them like, hurts.

Boredom in human environments - constantly feeling like a zoo animal. I’m not supposed to sit in a box for eight hours a day I’m supposed to maul prey with my teeth and run across miles and miles of coastline with my pack. not only being homesick but also jus being, like… really fucking bored, feeling restrained almost.

oo guys, if any of you stim to music please send me your most stimmy (stimmiest?) songs, I wanna make a playlist

Wondering if other fae (or fae adjacent) can relate to this notion: we don’t seem to be social creatures. Maybe this has more to do with my particular clade, but from what I’ve observed and heard us fae don’t seem to be terribly social.

I have one companion who I seriously talk to and many more friends (I suppose they would be called) who I interact with by observing. I engage with people, but it’s always through this veil of humanity. I never interact as my real self. And I don’t really feel the need to.

I have a theory that changelings don’t require the companionship of humans since we’re something else, but that we might enjoy it since we have to blend in to some extent. However I only have my own experience to go off of, so I can’t ever be certain that this applies to others.

I’m not sure if this is purely due to the fact that I’m a changeling or if other types of fae experience this or if it’s simply my personality. Regardless of the reason, I am quite content alone. I enjoy being around people and observing as a way of entertaining myself, but I don’t seem to have the same social needs as the humans I’m surrounded by.

I love being a snake and I’ll bite anybody who thinks I’m a human <3

this came to my attention because lately ive been taking more videos of myself and i realized in almost all (if not all) im making really weird noises or saying something from a song/show and i just find it really entertaining cause i don’t even realize its going on

people don’t talk about vocal stimming enough, in my opinion. haha like vocal stimming is the best. i always have to do it alone cause it usually annoys my family, but still i just love to just go and “aaaaaaaaAAAAaaAaAaaAaa” it’s somehow so refreshing

relationships are so weird sometimes cause like, my friends were discussing how girls are hot and im just over here like “anyone wanna hear me recite stay calm from memory?”

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.

Tfw you're noclipped in the fabrics of reality experiencing multiple versions of yourselves overlapping 24/7 ✓✓

Interesting! I think that’s similar to how I am. Outwardly people see a human form, but in reality I am (sometimes) an anthropomorphized snake. I have the ability to shift around between fully snake to something more anthro.

hello!! I was curious: how do you personally define werebat? I love hearing different creature’s descriptions of themselves!

Hello! For me, being a werebat is essentially like being a werewolf. However I don't have a "human" form so to speak. My human form is the outward appearance that eyes perceive. However I am still a werebat, to myself and to those who know me.

As for a descriptor, I would say imagine a fursuit of a bat. My wings are usually in one of two states; they are attached to the underside of my arms, allowing me to have paws, or they are my arms themselves. The first example with the paws being like this image here.

Been experiencing that time of year where I’m no longer hibernating. It’s warming up and I can crawl back out into the wilderness for food and drink.
