The ocean as a safe place. The ocean as a comfort. The ocean through the eyes of marine life instead of human folklore. In the minds of aquatic animals instead of thalassophobic anthropocentric poets. The ocean as familiar. The ocean as protective. A storm rages above the surface but you are safe here, looking up from within. The ocean as lifegiving. The ocean as freedom. 70.8% of the planet. The ocean as everything you know and the only thing you need to know.

Can we take a moment to appreciate forests?
I went out to the forest next to my city with my mom today, wearing my tail
It was the best experience I've ever had, there were barely any people, the weather was perfect, my siblings weren't there to complain, I was just walking around with her
It was amazing
Forests are majestic and magnificent, people don't appreciate them enough
I don't care about the bugs, or the annoying small plants, or even the people.
Forests just make me feel so... Alive.

update: I've played like an hour and a half of Frontiers and 90% of it after the opening sequence has been me ignoring the main objective to wander off and touch things for hours
This game is... really something. I keep thinking "Surely I can't climb that" and every time I can climb it. I knew it was gonna be open-world, but it's... really open-world. There's almost no natural boundaries like there are in most open-world-ish games I've played. You can really revel in the strength and speed and dexterity of your player character - there's a learning curve to moving around in a couple ways, but once you get it, it's so smooth transitioning from sprinting to sliding to sprinting to jumping. It's beautiful and it makes you feel strong and like you belong there and there's so much detail... hough.
And it's... man, I knew it was going to be like this, but the way the main character's experience mirrors a Pandoran fictionfolk's experience of the game... it's about the "getting to go home to a home you have never been to" thing.
Also the Na'vi pronunciation so far fucking slaps. Which is really nice for a change :P

A long post about my hearthome
Context- I must explain first… If you are an alterhuman that’s not familiar with my blog, I gotta explain I’m a turtle spirit/god
So take that information now because this post will make so much more sense if you know that about me lol
also please excuse spelling errors
————————————————
Intro-I don’t think of myself as a past life aterhuman, but I am for sure a spiritual alterhuman.
In short, my experience is knowing my species identity not as a “I was once this” but rather “I was supposed to be this”
My hearthome is a similar thought. I know I was supposed to be born (or hatched) there but something failed in a cycle of either reincarnation or karma.
I am certain that I belong there but I’ve never actually been to the place. All I get are glimpses of it.
————————————————
What it looks like- My hearthome is just one big  continent on an otherwise completely oceanic planet, with a few small islands scattered around the sea. It’s very similar to Earth’s Pangea.
I was supposed to be from one of the small islands but we’ll get back to that later…
The continent itself is very jungle-like and possesses bioluminescent rivers and ponds. Most of the architecture was built similarly to early eastern Asian architecture. As for the islands, most remained untouched but others were formed into small villages of huts and treehouses.
————————————————
Who lived there- There are a variety of creatures that inhabit the world but the major ones are humans, animals, and ‘animal gods’ or demigods.
Demigods are usually half animal/half humanoid but some demigods were even created to be a place of elements. (oceans, forests, mountains, stars, etc)
I am a demigod from this world and I mostly resemble a green sea turtle but sometimes I see myself as a red eared slider, I’m not actually sure
All demigods or elemental beings were created by dragons, who were complete gods. Some dragons became teachers for the newly spawned demigods to show them their ways and philosophies but very rarely.
They have to have a very big plan for you if they are going to teach you forbidden knowledge when you were just born.
————————————————
What was the culture like- Now that you know some information about the main continent, I would like to shift the subject to my island home. The name of the island was never told to me but I do know about the practices and beliefs we share.
Opalite is extremely important to us. My clan uses them to create  spears, bowls, and jewelry. The way we get these gems is not really possible in the current world I live in, because opalite here needs to be crafted by a human, but in my hearthome, the gems would be formed from the sand and would scatter the ocean floor until someone swam to the bottom to retrieve a piece. Grabbing your first opalite is very much of a ride of passage for my village.
Unlike the people/creatures on the continent who honor dragons, we chose another creature to be our symbol, Orcas. We know the significance of the dragons of course but we put more praise in the creatures we see everyday, rather than dragons that only resided in the main areas of the world.
Makes sense now, knowing that I’m orcahearted
The food we prepare on the island is always amazing. We usually hunt our own fish and grow our own fruits. Most of the fruits that exist on the island sadly don’t exist on this world.
Surfing and sailing is how my village got around to other islands or to the continent, but mainly we did it for fun.
Clothing is usually loose and silky. Mainly lots of beads, gems, and lightweight fabric. Shoes aren’t worn unless you are traveling a long distances, then you would wear geta shoes or something of the sort.
Our music is what I miss/yearn for the most. I wish I could describe it but it’s like it doesn’t want to translate into human words. I don’t think I can verbally illustrate it in a way that gives it justice. It feels like water…? It makes you feel like water is rushing around you, like you are in the center of a river made only of sound.
I think I should stop here, as I am loosing my words…
————————————————
I apologize if this one was an info dump but I appreciate you reading through all this, even if you are one of the sneaky critters that skipped to the end.
I wish I knew more. I wish I could truly be there but that’s not possible. All I have are visions that I hold close to my chest that I now share with you :)

fictionfolk, factives, and factkin, have you ever tried to learn a language that you feel you should already know, might even remember speaking, that you lost in the transition to being who you are now? how about otherkin and alterhumans with hearthomes and past lives?
have you had a hard time learning these languages without someone else who understands what you're going through to practice (and commiserate) with? or do you already know the language, but miss being able to talk to others who understand?
if any of those sound familiar, you might be interested in joining the newly formed Otherkin Language Group! this discord server is for learning, relearning, and talking about the languages that make us feel more connected to ourselves and our homes.
if this sounds like something you might be interested in, please send us a message here on tumblr to either get the link to the server or ask any questions!

Fictionfolk doesn't include just fictionkin. It doesn't include just fictionkin and fictives. Lots of "fictionfolk isn't just fictionkin, fictives are valid too!" but I never see:
Fictionflickerers are fictionfolk, even if they don't have a permanent identity. People with fictional world hearthomes are fictionfolk, even if they're never a specific character. Fictherians are fictionfolk, even if they're a member of a species and not a specific animal character.

Fan-made Animals and Hearthome
I think it is interesting how my brain reacts to non-canon animals, plants, and lore for Pandora. I've just seen a fun fan-made animal design (here, for reference), and besides just enjoying seeing a New Animal and the creativity of other people, it struck me that my brain is fully ready to accept that critter as a part of my hearthome. It's sold on it instantly.
Obviously that's a testament to the fact that the artist did a very good job following the rules of Pandora's biology to make a believable addition, but it's interesting from a fictionfolk perspective, because rightfully speaking non-canon animals... shouldn't trigger that response, I guess?
But then again, it makes sense. I am pretty sure my hearthome isn't tied to some actual life I've lived there or anything, so why should it matter whether an animal "actually" exists on Pandora or not? If it matches well enough, my brain is apparently fully willing to accept it as "real" in that way. And why shouldn't it? Fuck it, that can be "canon" to my Pandora.
I don't know where I'm going with this. Something something not restricting myself artificially by fake rules of "should" and "shouldn't," and instead just accepting the weirdnesses of it.

Oh forest lush and green,
I hear your every call, the birds who sing, the wolves who howl
How I wish more than anything that I can shed this ill-fitting skin
And add my voice to your chorus
Oh forest divine; mighty, foreboding, yet forgiving
How I grieve every day that we are apart
My soul longs to walk by your side
One day, I will return home to your embrace

I am looking for community input!
A therian friend and I are trying to coin a word for when you have a type that used to be very important to you, or that you identified as for a long time, but no longer identify as.
Antea; Latin word for before, previously, formerly.
Anteatype?
Or something that the meaning is easier to derive from like pre-type or bygonetype? Or does anyone know a good label?
The reason I don't want to call it a pasttype is because there is more to it than other deconfirmed types.
Anteatypes can still be very important to the identity as they have shaped who you are.
Update: poll has ended you can find an update here
