Gender? Shifting like a shadow creature.
Sexuality? Why is everyone so hot?!?! Must be global warming.
Romantic attraction? Not unless everybody gets really cool about a bunch of things really fast.
@trashy-kitty
How do: You put your gender, sexuality, and romantic attraction down with a line break between them—but, here's the catch, don't use any labels! So, for example, this, "Gender? Agender Sexuality? Lesbian Romantic Attraction? Demiromantic" would be this: "Gender? I hardly know 'er! Sexuality? Girl-kisser Romantic Attraction? My friends, I think"
So, here's mine!
Gender? Yours, fool Sexuality? Yes Romantic Attraction? Only if I know you well enough

Nonhuman Picrew chain! Thought I’d use this classic Picrew to start a chain since it has a ton of options! If you see this, you’re tagged (but no worries about participating)!
@trashy-kitty felt like u'd like this one ^^
ARRGGHHHH yay !! @caffeinated-eccentric-polymorph @milanesa-con-matecocido @boyswillbedogz @theoneandonlypatches @so-called-human
It’s so great to see anothe polymorph/shapeshifter who also has MaDD (I think the term for those is Xenreve if I’m not mistaken?)
May I ask about your kin experience while also having MaDD?
I don't know, maybe? To be fair I didn't know there was a term for that-
I'll look into it though, so if anyone has links-
It's a bit special, because I'm pretty sure I was a dog therian before anything else, but now it's shifted to being my main form as a shapeshifter.
I've daydreamed for as long as I can remember, and I don't mean the normal amount obviously: it's always been, and still is, a coping mechanism for me, dare I say the one I default too (art is a close second though, and I often mi the two).
As a note, my daydreaming hasn't been maladaptive for the last few years, but I still say I have madd. It's chronic the way I see it: if I'm not careful, it could become pathological again. Now i don't have to be careful all the time, but when I feel particularly bad I have to consciously use other ways to cope along with daydreaming, otherwise it still has a tendency to take over.
I like saying that until a few years back, I was fully living in my head. I had pretty much no life outside of my daydreams. And living fully in your daydreams for that long has had some interesting effects on my psyche and identity.
I've come to realise that I lived through my paraself because of multiple reasons, the main one being masking and being terrified to stop.
I mask way less now, and that's led to me feeling like my paraself, except reverse isekai'd: I barely have any memories outside of my daydreams until the years I "got out of my head", so it feels like being dropped from my world, the one I lived in 95% of the time, into this one.
Since my world is very much full of magic, there's a lot that didn't quite transfer to this body.
In source, I'm a shapeshifter. My constels and main forms are linked to this too: they're the forms I liked to take the most and the things I was and/or related to.
Now I also used to have magic. I could heal with it and create illusions. (I could also bend the elements a bit, but healing and illusions were my main ones).
I discovered earlier in childhood here witchcraft and forms of healing, and I've edged around it for a while (the healing methods, I've been practising witchcraft in this verse ever since I discovered it), but this year I've started learning to heal! It's not quite how it worked for me, but it's similar enough that it makes me really happy to be able to do so again.
For the illusion part, I've found performance arts the closest thing to it. I used to incorporate my magic into my art a lot, and I feel very connected to Everything when I'm performing, it's really euphoric.
That's all I can think about for now ahah, but I might reblog this with additions if I think of any ^^
In any case, thank you so much for the ask anon!! I love yapping and this was such an interesting and lovely question to answer <3
As a European, this morning has got my heart broken and worried. Worried for my kin in the US, and for the repercussions on the rest of the world.
I actually had hope. Hope that when given the option between harm reduction and straight up poison, few people would choose the poison.
To all of you in the US, I'm so sorry. Please stay safe, and stay alive. Remember, you living is a beautiful act of rebellion.
To all of those who chose the poison, I sincerely hope you choke on it.
Open tag!
im bored sooooo picrew tag game :3

Trick-or-treat !! :D and BOOp 🐾🐾🐾
Happy Halloween!!!! 🍂🦇
As a treat to you and trick to me, here's a fun fact: a few months ago I got my very first Wattpad account back. It has one thing in common with my old notebooks: my first ever documented self-insert.
I had made myself Jack Sparrow's daughter.
The chokehold that fictional man had on 10 to 14 year-old me is wild-
I find this very heartwarming but also this feels so embarrassing to me today despite me not cringing at shit nowadays (self-insert mary-sues are cool, sue me; the only thing I cringe at are creepy street interviewers).
Hi buddy! Happy Blorbo Blursday! Which of your ocs would not survive a horror setting/ which oc would have the mentality of survivors in a horror film and what would they do?
Hi! A bit late whoops- yesterday was busy for me eheh
Probably Jamison tbh- Look, the guy's intelligent af, but he's kind of naive and very curious, so he definitely would open the creaky door, follow the weird voice, investigate, all of that.
Though if cornered he might not give up quite yet and instead try flirting. I mean, it's sth that happens in the story -he gets cornered by a monster and he just figures out he might as well try.
At first glance, it's quite a nice site, bit of a mix between Tumblr ^ Twitter, nice layout, quite intuitive, and the community seems nice enough.
However, there are two(ish) things that stood out to me and made me decide to not stick with it and not recommend it.
First, they allow AI art, and though it has to be labelled, there is so much that it floods the timeline. Fun fact, I don't see much AI on Tumblr apart from the bot invasions of certain tags from time to time. on the few hours I spent on Aethy, one post out of three was AI generated. That is just too much, it means a lot of users are using AI and posting that there, and as an artist that makes me feel quite unwelcomed.
Second, while I appreciate how the content warnings are implemented, something gave me pause: alterhumanity was considered a sensitive topic. Mind you, religion was too, but no other identity was. And that felt... off. Religion and beliefs can be sensitive subjects because of trauma yes, but censoring an identity that isn't spiritual in nature feels off. Then there's also the whole "all kinks, even the weirdest ones" while banning pro-para, like... Kinks are paraphilias? That makes no sense.
And I think I might have an idea why.
I wanted some opinions, so i looked it up online.
And I discovered that Aethy's mod team was deleting criticism and banning people who posted it, and answered quesries about it very rudely and with more banning. Then I discovered that mods are saying that pro-para is a label used by abusers, so everyone who uses that label must be an abuser. That makes no sense, and sounds like people who campain for censorship online saying that predators use profiction communities so the whole community grooms children.
In conclusions, the mods' rules are vague to let them moderate by personal liking rather than abiding by "safe community for adults who enjoy kink".
So yea, would not recommend it.
