Musings on Animality
From “para-” meaning beyond or near, & “anthro” meaning human. A gender type involving an experience of one’s gender being near and yet beyond being human–notably humanoid, but not actually human. It can, but does not necessarily overlap with xenogender. It can also exist somewhere between xenogender & non-xenogender (anthrogender). The term “human”
“Blutpir: Vampire Species Concept” (May 2023) (About 30-40 minutes to read) –Different species of hominid, thus still “human”, just not Homo sapiens [species Homo sanguinus]; this differentiates between the two species with “H.sapiens” or simply “Sapiens” and ‘vampires’ or ‘blutpir’ Due to their preternatural condition and state, especially their means
“Fragments” (6/21/21 & 12/2/21) I’ve written previously years ago about how my otherkinity manifests through “fragmented” ‘kintypes (link) in the sense that I only experience ‘fragments’ (pieces or parts) of the whole creature for each of my ‘types–I don’t experience a fuller, more whole sense of each creature. Recently I’ve
“My Neurodivergences and Atypical Psychology”; November 11, 2021 Living with neurodivergences and atypical psychology have had a profound impact on my life, most especially in regards to finding employment that I am capable of doing long-term (even more so when combined with certain physical disabilities I have). I figured I’d
“Vogel” Feeling the stretch and spread of wingsAs they unfurl from my sides.Strong quills expand and contract,Like extra digits from my clawed hands.Crest rises and lowers with the ebb and flow.Iridescence shimmers across feathers;Catching and reflecting light to unveil a spectrum.Colors swim and swirl like oil in sunlight. Feet raise,
“Mongoose: Sentry and Subtlety” (5/1/2021) Outside of my writings regarding figuring out my mongoose theriotype as such, I haven’t really written much about it; for whatever reason, the words just never really came to me to make another writing about being mongoose. As with my other therio-/’kintypes, I haven’t felt
“Celesvogel” (7/19/21) Honestly, I expected to wait at least several weeks, if not months, before making this writing, as I figured I’d have to do so much introspection and a lot of letting the thoughts just sit and simmer for an extended time before I would feel at all confirmed
“About Changes & Growth in the Therian & ‘Kin Communities” (12/5/2013) So I think that maybe I at some point should eventually make a writing that sort of ‘revisits’ my “Therian Community: Status Quo & Development” essay and update it with some additional related views, thoughts, and experiences I have

“The Fall of the Therian and Otherkin Communities” (5/5/2021) The idea that just because some or even many people desire within a given community to have a litmus test of sorts to ‘prove’ or officially ‘become’ a *personal* identity (that, of course, can have social identity aspects due to there

“The Plasticity of Otherkin” (6/7/ 2021) To clarify, in this writing I’m using “plasticity” to refer to changes that can occur, particularly psychologically, in the experience and/or identity of being otherkin (and related identities). This does not mean that such changes are by conscious choice (though maybe they can be
