Day 22: Zooanthrop

(had a bit of trouble coming up with a good premise for this due to the vast amount of options. then I realized I hadn’t really touched upon yokai other than the hybird. so following that line of thinking I cam up with a kitsune at a family dinner discussing her job at one of those specialty cafes. don’t tell me japan wouldn’t hire yokai at those cafes if they were real. heck, we probably would too. bit of a shorter one but it fits) Everyone, I have an announcement to make. I know you all have been expecting something big since mama made her tofu for the occasion. I got the job! I was just told this morning actually. They were even nice enough to send over a physical letter congratulating me. Don’t worry papa, they said they’ll be accommodating for my needs. I’ll still need to take my allergy medicine for the commute but the cafe itself should be pretty low in terms of electricity usage. Besides, the owner said that using candles would enhance the atmosphere. Oh yeah, I was interviewed by the owner themself! He was a very kind man who was very glad I was interested in the job. Yes grandma, I made sure to properly respect him. I know you don’t really like me taking this job but so far these places are one of the few that are hiring our kind without question. It does feel a little weird that they’re using us as a gimmick but I could always leave in case things get bad. No Taro, we are not allowed to use any tricks. I am not getting fired for doing that kind of stuff. Ok maybe if the customers are rude. Yes grandma, I know that the outfit is a little light on the covering but that’s just how these cafe jobs are. It was custom made however to fit my human disguise. They even added a nice little headband for my ears. Oh no, that was a part of the job description, to let little bits of the real me peak out. Just the ears and the tails for now but I could also let my paws out a little bit if I feel like it. Probably not too often, I don’t think the customers would like fur in their dishes after I serve them. Anyways, my first day is actually tomorrow. They want me to get started right away with training. Don’t worry Taro, I’ll bring back anything I can get from the kitchen. Especially the fried tofu, I heard the chef specializes in it. Although I doubt any chef could beat mama’s tofu.

genuinely every single expression of nonhumanity is so beautiful

i love therians and otherkin spiritual psychological or otherwise

i love otherhearteds and copinglinks

i love physical nonhumans of all kinds including zooanthropes endels and holotheres

i love alterhumans

i love real-life and fictional theriotypes

i love animal-related xenogenders and neopronouns

i love connecting to nonhumanity or being nonhuman due to neurodivergence

i love nonhumans due to delusions or trauma

i love furries and i love people who feel like their true selves wearing a fursuit

i love pups and horseplayers and queer people whose sexuality is connected to their nonhumanity

i love people who are fully 100% nonhuman and i love people whose nonhumanity is wearing cat ears and a tail

i love puppygirls and catboys and werewolves

i love people who connect nonhumanity with them being outside traditional gender norms

i love how making a human-lion was one of the first product of artistry ever made by humans (and the oldest statue that we discovered)

(this is mostly animal-focused but i love people connected to flora and still life and machines too and everything related to that)

we see ourselves in everything around us as if it were our reflection

Just wanted to say if you are anti-endel, anti clinical lycanthrope/zooanthrope, maybe this isn't the best page for you. I may not be any of these but I suffer from delusions due to psychotic features with my depression and part of why I identify as holothere is for this reason.

No, I am not saying that I am against you advising others to get mental help if they want to, but I am against these types of creatures being excluded for something they can't entirely control. So if you are anti-endel, or anti-clinical lycanthrope/zooanthrope, then my page is not for you.

Narancia Ghirga - Monster AU Profile

Narancia Ghirga, a mischievous shapeshifter with reckless habits, undying loyalty, and a shaky sense of belonging.

Preface about species type:

This post will be introducing many polymorph-related vocabulary terms which will be included in the Monster AU 'dictionary'; you don't need to worry about getting confused, because I'll stick with layman's terms for the most part, I'm just including the more formal terms for fun and fake education. They are all words I made up.

Narancia's a bit of a special case; his specific classification is unknown, making him fall into the special category of tochnopolymorph (TOECH-no-paw-lee-morf), also known as a non-specific shapeshifter (NS3), or 'true polymorph'. There are many, many different 'breeds' of polymorphs, but they often have defining features, a true form, set forms, and/or a different classification (such as zooanthrope, selkie, Diego Brando, etc.).

Narancia, however, is one of the types that do not fit into a known further specification. Though he has a natal form (protomorph) that is usually assumed to be his 'true form', Narancia is versatile and does not have a 'true form' (as he's never defined one for himself), only a default; his default form is the same as his protomorph. He can change any physical aspect of himself to a certain extent and can transform into anything provided it isn't too big (as accumulating significantly more matter into his being spontaneously is not generally within the extent of his capabilities, and usually transforming beyond his own mass involves fucking around with internals and is just in general kind of really horrifying).

Note that the rules that apply to Narancia do not apply to all polymorphs, or even all tochnopolymorphs, necessarily.

His clothes stay with him when he shifts, but whether this means that; 1. his clothes are actually a part of his body, 2. he internalises his clothes when he shapeshifts, and then externalises them when he returns to human/protomorph or, 3. some other bullshit; is unclear.

Details related to Polymorphism:

His tail, which is somewhat feline, leonine, or heraldic unicorn-like, is prehensile, meaning it can grab and hold things. It can also extend and shorten at will.

He has tapeta lucida. His eyes are reflective when light shines on them, but they also seem to glow in the dark somewhat.

Could trans his gener in any way at any time he wants to. Except legally. He presumably generally doesn't. But he could. And if he does. It's none of our business.

Many of his theriomorphs (animal forms), such as cats and dogs, have black fur since that's the colour of his hair, and purple eyes, which is a risk to give him away, as the colour is unusual. When questioned about the giveaway, he says, "I'm a shapeshifter, not a fucking chameleon!" However, his ability to imitate other humanoids to a semi-convincing degree, including the all-around-pale Pannacotta Fugo, suggests there are probably other factors involved.

If given enough time, he, like most tochopolymorphs, can regenerate any sort of piercing damage (like cuts, stabs, and bullet wounds). Polymorphic regenerative 'invulnerability' reportedly "does not extend to fall damage"; and may not recover a major pierce through the heart, as they don't have the time to heal it because they are dying right fucking now!!

It's important to note that if something is removed, it would take significantly more effort to restore it, as it would likely require him to redistribute his remaining mass to keep his shape, so if he lost an arm, he'd have to sacrifice some height to restore the arm.

This is only a temporary solution, because even though this method allows him to retain his shape, his missing mass still should be restored, particularly because if it's not, then the arm will still be missing in protomorph, which is activated by instinct.

A lehkomorph, or simple formshift, is a shift into a form that isn't too different from the protomorph, such as Narancia's human-passing form(s). A vazkomorph, or complex formshift, is a shift into a form that's significantly different from the protomorph, such as most theriomorphs and animal forms. Impersonation transformations (simulaforms) are either-or depending on the case; transforming into a small child would be considered a complex formshift due to a difference in general structure.

It's hard for Narancia to maintain both a complex formshift and Aerosmith at the same time. When he retains an animal form, it can be a challenge to summon, control, or use his Stand ability. Whether this is a focus issue, a hypothetically common trait for polymorph Stand Users, or something else, it's hard to say.

Transforming into something too big generally leaves him very sore when he changes back, and he can be quite whiny about it, but, as you'll learn in a bit, the whining... may or may not kinda be warranted. Overuse of shifting capabilities is also known to commonly cause soreness and sometimes dislocations or deformations as the body forgets how to put itself back together properly. Shapeshift responsibly.

To properly redistribute his size, when taking a much smaller form, sometimes 'mass-carriers' need to be formed to store the extra mass less conspicuously; if he were to take a child form, he might have to form with longer hair or a "backpack".

Larger forms usually require the opposite - as gross as it is, a form that is significantly larger usually requires internal mass to be redistributed, meaning that he would probably externalise and/or compress his own organs, which is generally incredibly painful and often very unhealthy; this should only be performed in dire circumstances, and even then, should generally be avoided, because it can be life-threatening.

There is some leniency; Narancia taking the form of an inconspicuous kitten but transforming into a properly-sized humanoid form breaks this restriction, and there are other exceptions, though he generally tries to keep his mass consistent. Taking a smaller form with no mass-carriers usually results from mass-shedding, which can be done voluntarily but is unpleasant. Mass restoration is the harder step of the process, but usually is aided by eating. This is likely the reason that Narancia was able to regain his humanoid form once he’d eaten.

The current only known case study of one of the most horrifying shapeshifter afflictions: form decay! Thanks a lot, Prosciutto.

Though able to regenerate physical damage well, things such as illness, immune issues, and infection are a different matter, as they are things he is unable to control, and they can be very severe for him. He was susceptible, and it culminated in the eye infection.

Though he is a polymorph with no technically set form, his protomorph is very distinctive and suggests something more species-specific. In particular, most of his features appear feline in some capacity, his face especially, not to mention his mannerisms and body language, which are quite catlike.

There may be some implication that the frequent morphing contributes to jaw pain or discomfort that Narancia seems to alleviate by chewing, biting, or eating things he is really not supposed to have in his mouth—like he's teething.

Details about Narancia:

Has a bad habit of slinking around in the dead of night, going into other people's rooms and then promptly fleeing upon waking them up. Cryptid behaviour.

Smug, somewhat childish, and thinks he's SO cool with his shapeshifting. Look, just... let him have this

Likes to just slightly change his appearance to mess with people and see how long it takes them to notice as a prank. Usually, he does this with Mista because he knows he can get away with it. Fugo fell for it at first but when he caught on he started to get mad about it. Just because it's annoying and distracting.

He also used to impersonate Fugo just to mess with him, but it freaked Fugo out, so he stopped doing it because it stopped being as funny when Fugo was scared rather than angry. Narancia never figured out why it scared him so much. Fugo gets twice as freaked out about it post-Pompeii arc. For some reason.

Impersonating Fugo around the others worked at first, but they could usually figure out if it was Fugo or Narancia by speech patterns and body language. Even when he tries to speak like Fugo, Narancia's tone gives him away.

But also, to save time, if they look at the face, they can tell practically right away if it's Fugo or Narancia. Narancia has some form of prosopagnosia—face blindness—so he can never mimic the face quite right (short of copying someone's face while he's staring at it), and something always looks noticeably wrong. He generally distinguishes people by their hair, scent, and voice. He's not completely unable to distinguish the way someone's features look, so he can replicate them if he's looking at them, but as soon as he's not looking, he is unable to recall what someone looks like or recognise someone's face. He doesn't recognise Bruno with his hair down and sometimes struggles to recognise Mista without his hat on.

Absolutely touchstarved (e.g. desires cuddling and petting) but he's a bit awkward about it, especially when it comes to physical affection with other men (very 'no homo' vibes), although he is sort of willing to display physical affection with Mista more openly because it's a 'bro thing' (it is not a bro thing). To remedy this oxymoronic situation, Narancia usually assumes his cat theriomorph when seeking affection, in which he feels less weird about receiving affection and the others feel less weird about petting him.

Regarding the street kids Narancia used to run with before he got arrested, it's a fair assumption to make that they knew Narancia wasn't human and (whether themselves a pack of juvenile werewolves or just a group of humans) hung out with him like he was a more-or-less normal person, and that's why he wanted to run with them. They let him feel like he fit in, which is something he'd struggled with his entire life due to a lack of exposure to any of his own kind, leading him to be unsure if he could ever belong anywhere.

Because he could be anything and transform himself in any way, he wasn't sure that any identity he gave himself was really his or if he was just conforming to what other people wanted. He didn't know how to be "himself", but running with the street kids at least gave him something, a name for himself, a place to belong, maybe a role to fill that wasn't just 'whatever they need at the moment' (though he certainly did a lot of that). But "Bro" was mostly just using him because his shapeshifting abilities were really useful and really convenient for framing him.

Fugo happened upon a sickly, injured kitten on his way to Libeccio's one day. He picked the kitten up despite better judgement, having sympathy for the tiny creature, and, despite the biting and scratching that his poor arms sustained, brought the kitten to Buccellati. They gave the kitten a little bit of food, and when they left it alone in a room for five minutes while they tried to figure out what to do about it, they came back in to find a scruffy boy halfway fallen off a chair, and no kitten to be seen. The rest of Narancia's backstory proceeds as normal, except that Fugo goes fucking ballistic at him because he, a creature with complex cognitive function, fucking bit him!!! Voluntarily!!! That's so fucked up!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!!!

Giorno stole his gender and that's why he's canon lesbian of the day

Likes... being pet on the head... but will punch you in the jaw if you try. Unless he wants you to do it. he's very fickle...

Has a nasty case of undiagnosed ADHD and/or something else, probably made slightly worse by the fact he's inhuman and thus already has some pretty odd tendencies. Struggles to sit still, hyperfixates yet struggles to focus (particularly in an academic environment), has some sensory issues and has a severe need to be stimming in 90% of his waking moments. His favourite style of stimming seems to be spinning things, including pocket knives, pens, and Aerosmith's propellers. The way he spins pens shows a very very impressive dexterity.

Seems to always have about 12 pocket knives on his person at any one given time. You take one knife away from him and he pulls another out of his fucking shoe and shanks you in the gut. Allegedly has 3 knives under his pillow, as he warned Limbo.

Incredibly expressive. His lack of a definite form allows his body (especially his ears, in his protomorph) to reflect his expression or mood to a much greater extent than a human's could. In the case of his ears, it's very much like cat body language.

The ORIGINAL catboy. Step aside, True Catboy Ghiaccio and Semantic Catboy Tiziano! I don't care that hes not a cat!!! shut the fuck up!!!!!

he does hiss at people

my bio! (long post)

Hi! You can call me Vi. I use she/her (or they/them if you’re feeling boisterous). Any gendered compliments are welcome, but creature-related ones are encouraged! I’m also very leftist, athiest, socialist, and a punk-in-training. (i despise the government and society to some extent, but i am mostly a law-abiding citizen and a fucking coward)

Gender: thingy? I identify along the lines of xenogirl, paragirl, agender, and genderfluid. I don’t stress it too much :3

I am femme-leaning omni and aro; i have a few microlabels but im fine saying just that. I am also hypersexual (not traumagenic).

Nonhuman identities: I am an Aqua dragon (original species). It fits somewhere between othermidst, othervague, heartedlink, otherkin, otherlink, and fictionkin, but is strong enough that I consider myself dragonkin. Because of this, I am avianhearted, canine and feline simil, have a lush forest hearthome, and feel very connected to bodies of water, the sun, the moon, the sky, and thunderstorms.

Hobbies: I enjoy drawing, crafting, jewelry making, sculpting, biking, gaming, swimming, frolicking, collecting, doing quads, and just doing other gooberish activities :D

Music: I have no set music taste, but a few of my favorite artists are sign crushes motorist, Alex G, Duster, 0neheart, 6arelyhuman, Odetari, Mac DeMarco, Nirvana, cavetown, mazie, dandelion hands, Strawberry Guy, Other Nothing, Paramore, Eyedress, Suicidal Tendencies, Lyn Lapid, Louie Zong, a little bit of Billie Eilish, the Hazbin Hotel soundtrack, the Heathers soundtrack, Surf Course, Starry Cat, Lovejoy (don’t listen to it anymore, but it sounded good), Penelope Scott, a little bit of The Cardigans, and i should probably stop now before you shrivel up and walk off. If you have any band reccomendations, send them my way!

Fandoms: Too many to count, but my mains are Wings of Fire, Hazbin Hotel, Helluva Boss, Heathers, She-ra (new), The Owl House, Amphibia, Creatures of Sonaria, The Coffin Of Andy And Leyley, Newsies, Your Boyfriend, and Subnautica. I am also a furry :3

I am also very involved in communities such as alterhuman, alternative, neurodivergent, and punk, but these are not fandoms.

I live in the midwestern U.S.

This account is geared towards teens and young adults. If you’re over 30 and we haven’t interacted, probably let me give you a vibe check before you follow

i’m a bit of a chronic attention seeker, and will do things or amplify things sometimes that might be subconciously for attention. please be patient, and don’t be rude to me when it happens, i have quite a few microtraumas surrounding this :/

will be fine with people goofin off in my asks!

might do commisions for sketches, doodles, moodboards, backgrounds, and maybe stimboards.

Tag system!

#kaeposting - kin stuff! #kaecreates - stuff I made that relates to my kintype

#kaefrolicks - picures or videos of the forest, and maybe videos of quads in the future

#kae rambles - dragon go bla bla bla

#vi’s updates - updates about my life

#vi’s passion projects - crafts because slay

#vi’s wonderful world of pretty things - pretty pictures of scenery, jewelry I love, and maybe some outfits. room maybe

#eye of the storm wings of the heart - pretentious ahh name. storm stuff, nice water sounds, avianhearted stuff, basically all my secondary kin things

#+££+|~| - vents. typically angry due to my nature, under the cut with a warning. stylized “teeth”

#€|@\/\/$ - vents. typically obsessive thoughts and talking about hypersexuality. stylized “claws”

#aqua dragons 🪷 - info on or relating to my favorite lil creatures! lilypad as to not to be confused with shrimp or water dragons.

This is a safe place for queer, MOGAI, LGBTQIA, POC, alterhuman, ALL systems, endels, lycanthropes, zooanthropes, physical nonhumans, neurodivergent people (not just ADHD and autism! [them too] ALL! /friendly) anti-contact AND pro-treatment paraphiles (both at once and ONLY both at once. pro-contact, anti-treatment, or both, GET THE FUCK OFF MY PAGE.) , age and pet regressors, people with kinks, so on and so forth. I can’t think of many others, but the rule of thumb is:

If you either don’t wan’t to, or don’t, hurt others, you’re fine. Example: Nonhumans with a prey drive getting the urge to kill small animals without following through, and people with mental illnesses / personality disorders hurting others without meaning to and feeling remorse. You are loved, and you are safe here.

DNI: Bigots, transphobes, homophobes, anti-feminists, radfems, TERFS, paraphiles mentioned previously, conservative people, extensively religious, anti-endel/clinical ‘thropes, antifurries, antikins, and other generally dislikable people. tryna use mild language ‘cause this varies wildly in severity.

And I would prefer if Abrahamic religion was kept out. It’s fine to believe in that god, but I would prefer if it wasn’t brought up much on this blog. thank you for your consideration :)

and I think that’s all! I’ll link the Guide to Aqua Dragons below when I make it! thank you for your time.

#kaeposting #kaecreates #kaefrolicks #vi’s updates #vi’s passion projects #vi’s wonderful world of pretty things #eye of the storm wings of the heart #aqua dragons 🪷#kae rambles #alterhuman #nonhuman #+££+|~|#€|@\/\/$

In this world where species lines blur, humans and Zooanthropes find themselves navigating a complex coexistence. Let's explore how they manage to live together:

1. **Integration and Adaptation**:

- Initially, there was fear and uncertainty as Zooanthropes emerged. However, over time, both humans and Zooanthropes adapted to their new reality.

- Zooanthropes learned to blend in with human society, often disguising their animal features with clothing or accessories. Some even underwent cosmetic procedures to appear more human.

2. **Legal Frameworks and Rights**:

- Governments established legal frameworks to protect the rights of Zooanthropes. These laws cover aspects such as employment, housing, and education.

- Discrimination based on species is prohibited, and there are penalties for hate crimes.

3. **Education and Awareness**:

- Schools and educational institutions teach tolerance, empathy, and understanding. Children learn about the history of Zooanthropes and the importance of coexistence.

- Public awareness campaigns promote acceptance and dispel myths about Zooanthropes.

4. **Mixed Communities**:

- Many neighborhoods are now mixed, with humans and Zooanthropes living side by side. They share public spaces, markets, and parks.

- Community centers organize events that foster interaction and understanding.

5. **Economic Collaboration**:

- Zooanthropes contribute to the economy in various ways. Some work in specialized fields related to their animal traits (e.g., canine Zooanthropes in search and rescue).

- Businesses owned by Zooanthropes and humans collaborate, creating a diverse marketplace.

6. **Healthcare and Research**:

- Medical facilities cater to both species. Veterinarians and doctors work together to address health issues.

- Scientific research aims to understand the Zooanthrope transformation better, seeking medical advancements and treatments.

7. **Social Challenges**:

- Prejudice still exists. Some humans fear Zooanthropes, while some Zooanthropes harbor resentment toward humans.

- Inter-species relationships face societal scrutiny, but there are also heartwarming stories of love and acceptance.

8. **Cultural Exchange**:

- Zooanthropes bring their unique cultural practices, art, and traditions. Humans learn from them, fostering a rich cultural exchange.

- Festivals celebrate both human and Zooanthrope heritage.

9. **Environmental Stewardship**:

- Zooanthropes often have a deep connection to nature due to their animal traits. They actively participate in environmental conservation efforts.

- Humans and Zooanthropes collaborate on projects to protect wildlife and natural habitats.

10. **Unity in Diversity**:

- The world recognizes that diversity is its strength. Humans and Zooanthropes coexist, learning from each other and building a harmonious society.

Remember, coexistence is an ongoing process, and challenges persist. But the shared goal of understanding, acceptance, and unity keeps both species moving forward. 🌍🐾

I'm that anon that sent the p-shifter confeasion ask. Tbh, I probably should have never sent it. I sent it after seeing some p-shifter stuff in the tags that annoyed the shit out of me, because I feel like I keep seeing people who aren't clinical zooanthropes posting about how they can p-shift, despite the fact that I do keep blocking people. It feels like I always manage to stumble over p-shifters even when I try to avoid them. I have no ill-will towards clinical zooanthropes, I think I am just disappointed and frustrated that people are still being manipulative and trying to wrap people into the same p-shifter cults I saw when I was a teen, and that these people (not clinical zooanthropes) keep manipulating others into believing their bs. Sending the confession was a moment of short shighted weakness.

We all have those moments and i can understand where you are coming from. I dont think the truly malicious shifter groups will stop unfortunately. But those who are young or misguided can generally be made aware :)

Which tags are you seeing this sort of thing in? The main otherkin tag seems largely free of them?

Could filtering the tag help you?

For the writing playlist - 4, 15!

4. Do you enjoy writing along with music?

I absolutely do!! It helps me stay on task and also my brain just likes music a lot haha. I don't like writing without music.

15. A favorite song from your playlist?

I can't get enough of this song lately: Wolf Moon by Type O Negative and Zooanthropic Principle. I guess they're a favorite classic band for a reason haha, though I'm not as big on their other stuff.

attention therians who dreamshift (or other alterhumans idm)

im currently trying to do some research on dreamshifts and whether its a common occurrence for them to lean more towards zooanthropy

an example of a zooanthropic dream shift would be dreaming that you're on all fours running through a field just like your theriotype would and you may mentally be your theriotype however you are still physically human in the dream

the difference between this and a regular dream shift would be that in a regular dream shift, you are physically your theriotype and not human.

please let me know which you experience, the more folkkel interact, the more data i can collect for science :3

(likes, replies and reblogs are much appreciated)
