all my advice about using real athletes to learn drawing bodies beyond hard abs, and my particular pref being wrestlers, also applies to women btw. you can draw women who r strong and not an hourglass shape. fucking do it.

kris statlander, rhea ripley (look at her SHAPE), willow nightingale, ruby soho, these r just four off the top of my head that have obvious musculature and different body types. skye blue and julia hart have more slim cheerleader style bodies as well, i REALLY wanted to put emi sakura who is fucking STOUT (adoring) in this post but i couldn't find a good demonstrative pic, the list goes on

DRAW DIFFERENT BODIESSSSSSSS

posic culture is my girlfriend telling me (gently) that I should make some more friends... so now I'm buying a build-a-bear .

ID: on the left there is a vertical 5 striped flag with a symbol in the middle. The symbol in the middle is a diamond shaped sparkle that has a light red outline and the inside of the symbol is white. The first stripe on the left is a light purple with a blueish tint. The second stripe is a lightish grey. The third stripe is white. The fourth stripe is a pastel yellow. The fifth stripe is a pastel redish orange. The flag on the right is the same colors but without the symbol in the middle. End ID

Objectsic is an objectum term for when you are both objectum and POSIC+. This is meant to be the opposite counter part for Objectix (being objectum without object sentience) and a modifier for general objectum terms. Objectsic is object and the end of posic (sic) together. Specific terms under this term can use -sic as a suffix. For example, plushum can become plushsic.

Flag meaning:

The flag is inspired by both the POSIC+ and objectum flags and their meanings.

Purple represents physical objects

Grey represents conceptual and non tangible objects

White represents animism and spirituality

Yellow represents object sentience or "life"

Orange represents object love and the relationships with them

The symbol in the middle is ment to be like a star while still being simple enough to be similar to the orginal objectum circle. And of course the color of the star outline is a nod to the objectum community.

Othercosm & Othermidst

Othercosm-

/əT͟Hərˈkäzm/

The feeling of being everything related to a concept/organism/character/other, such as feeling like you are it, that it is your family, that it is your home, and/or you are the embodiment of it. It may or may not feel like it "ties in" to other identities or is a constant part of them. "Cosm" meaning "world/universe/all things". Someone who uses this term to describe their relationship with the thing would call it their cosmtype/cosm-type. Someone who feels like this about coral, for example, would call themselves "coralcosm"/"coral-cosm".

Othermidst-

/əT͟Hərmidst/

The feeling of a "type" being somewhere between otherkin (being the thing itself) and otherhearted/otherkith (feeling like it is family/you are similar to it). "Midst" meaning in the midst of, as in, in-between.

Someone who uses this term to describe their relationship with the "type" would call it their midsttype/midst-type.

AMBITHERIANTHROPY: to identify both as many specific species within an animal, but not all, as well as identifying as the general/overall animal itself

EXAMPLE: a snake ambitherian may be a burmese python, a king cobra and a cornsnake therian. they may not identify with any other specific species like a viper or rattlesnake, but they do identify generally as a snake and see themselves in all species of snakes alongside their specific species therianthropes

COINAGE: the term exists somewhere between quitherianthropy, cladotherianthropy and therianthropy, as I felt that these terms didn’t fully describe my experience. ‘ambi’ derives from the latin meaning ‘both’. the definition is somewhat loose and subjective, feel free to use as you please and tweak slightly if you find comfort in the term. if the definition seems contradictory to some, that’s because it may be- this is the best explanation of my experience and I hope others may find it useful too

🧼 ——— COINED BY ME

alderanthro

an aldernic term where one has/wants a body that is anthrophomorphic (think furries)

made with furries/postfurries in mind but anyone can use it!!

another term I cant believe doesnt already exist

this is how it is for me. And I still consider myself posic. Although I don't exactly know what their thinking or feeling either, but I can still form bonds. For me it's more guessing and filling in the blanks. Also my synesthesia helps with that. It's a vibe and feeling like their listening, but to me they don't really talk and I can't just know how they feel 99% But I think they'd want me to try and guess, over ignoring it because I'm scared to hurt them.

Hi! Not a posic culture but idk where else to ask… I’ve been thinking i might be posic but im not really sure? Most posics I see say they feel their companion’s emotions and can tell what they’re thinking, but i don’t really do this? I see objects as sentient like i do people, I know they are sentient but I don’t know exactly what they’re thinking or feeling. I do form bonds with objects, but idk if that counts as posic without feeling object’s emotions?

sounds posic to me! you see them as sentient and that is enough. you don't have to have the same communication method as other people or even a communication method at all

posic culture is getting mad when people make your plushies do things even though you KNOW they don't like it/don't want to do it

Me:

I don’t need another plushie. I just donated an entire bag because I have too many. I shouldn’t buy more.

hiiii!! just started this blog to connect with the alterhuman community some more! <3

reblog this with a few fun facts or things about your theriotype/hearttype/linktype/kintype/etc.

i’ll go first:

dragonhearttype: the dragon that i identify with is a fire-breathing, color-changing dragon. i’ll usually feel black or red though, and my tail is prehensile.

wolfhearttype: this one is fairly new, but i’m pretty sure it’s a gray wolf. wolves are apex predators, and they also usually are in packs. they tend to like big, hooved animals to eat.

fictionlink: mine’s specifically to the species of fae that Maleficent is. my wings are brown and my horns are dark brown. the fae have their own groups, regions, and cultures. i’m part of the desert fae group.

now your turn! :D

he is NOT paying attention to the lecture!!

Being fictionkin sucks sometimes, simply because there are times I don't like how I'm perceived. I understand I cannot control how others perceive the character, but it is just.. Utterly annoying. Especially when I am assumed to be goth. It's not true, at least for me. I understand other sides, saying that it may be lolita goth or perky goth, but.. I just don't see it. I don't. All I see is a specific aesthetic that just adorns to favorite colors.

I need some to remember that there are many reasons one may identify physically as nonhuman. Delusions can be a cause, yes, and that is completely valid! But it's not always. My physical nonhumanity is only partially from delusions, there are other reasons I identify as such, like trauma and neurodivergency.

Physical nonhumanity isn't a "one size fits all" just like any other nonhuman identity. Commonly, you'll get a different response as to why one identifies physically nonhuman virtually each time. I find that intriguing and it isn't a bad thing at all.

Apologies, I just needed to get this out.

(OP does not intend to cause discourse and thinks everyone is valid equally, do not derail.)

Hello! I just realized that I never actually released an image of the symbol used in the Circukin flag. I wanted to do this incase anyone wanted to make their own, especially since the actual circukin flag was made with bats in mind.

It's the otherkin star but with chains encompassing it two times.

did you know about biblically accurate angels? Most of the biblical accurate angels you will see in art when you search for it are actually not biblically accurate. People must've found out about the very not human looking ones and called it those and then it became a meme. Anyway there are multiple types of angels, all apart of this higharchy called the choirs. Each type of angel has its own place in the choir, I have noticed that some of the placing for some (usually the higher choir angels) is slightly lower or higher depending on the religion with this belief of angels. I am one of the higher choir angels in type of angel, being a seraph (seraphim) but due to past life and this life stuff I do not feel that connected to my choir if at all...anyway seraphim are known to have six red wings being the angels of fire. And are depicted as giant winged eyes, servants or humans but with the 6 wings.

I have two dragon kintypes, one being a red, Western fire dragon that is small (for a dragon) and an eastern water and sky one that can shape shift (mainly with human, and sea creatures like turtles and fish) it also doesn't have a real base color or size, but being genderfluid, there is often a look for it that goes with my gender that i image myself as in the moment.

Image ID: the "change my mind" meme, but instead of a man, there's an eastern red bat. The text on the sign says "Trying to reality check a physical nonhuman is stupid, not only because you don't know them personally, but also because you're not trying to be “helpful”, you're just an asshole" and "change my mind". End ID.

This is about trolls / anti-kin. Do not derail.
