haaate when people get so violent abt it ... like its literally a tiny harmless thing why do they gaf??
my class was doing service work at a community farm one time and there was a centipede on the dirt and this girl just STOMPS on it like ?? i ask why and she says "it was ugly" bitch your heart is ugly for that hello??
Bug hating and violence toward bugs being the Normal Reaction sucks so much, but it also hits different on an alterhuman level. We picked up a millipede from our bathroom (silly guy somehow got in there)--and me being very closely related in an alterhuman way to these guys, I accidentally slipped into front. So I go "damn ok I'm me now" and start carrying it outside to put it in the garden.
Buuut. One of our siblings just comes up to us, sees the millipede, and starts freaking out and telling us to kill it. Like that's... I dunno! You can clearly see I'm removing it from the house, it's just an animal, fear is one thing and I understand fear! You can stay away from it if you want. But you're screaming at me to kill this random animal? And unfortunately, that caused other people in the house to also come gawk and call me a freak too.
And I'm just so tired. Can't be a centipede therian without people going "eww" and can't carry a pretty similar little guy outside to a nice spot in the garden without people wanting me to get violent. Like.. I see myself in this little thing and even if I didn't I wouldn't understand why "kill it" is the okay reaction to have. I'm arthropodhearted in general and it's so upsetting that we're expected to be okay with just killing random animals because people find them scary or gross.
I guess there's some solidarity about it between me as a therian and the concept of bugs being almost universally hated... but I honestly think people should just not start telling people to kill things they're holding, just a thought! That shouldn't need to be something to even be a concept.
Anyway I put the guy in our garden, there's plenty of nice places for it to hide out there and it won't be disturbed again.

SIGH. I need to go start an organized community again../silly
I mean, I'm not really a god per se, but I'm still a deity in some sense? We (Watchers) don't really have individual domains, but we still cover eyes/observation/games/chaos and things like that. We're very well-rounded beings, of course
I don't exactly want a full following/worshippers, but the sense of "leaving something out for (insert thing here) just to cover all bases), y'know? I'm not that big in terms of... godhood, idk. But maybe an offering here, small prayers there, just some acknowledgement. I even have two different "gendered" names, for void's sake! It's really quite easy, you know (addressing the humans here)
This makes no sense. It isn't really supposed to, btw. I'm very tired. Just having some Watcher-y feelings today, I guess
looks at my once-human but now unrecognizable hearttypes... (watchers/keepers)

I have found a survey for alterhumans, about our alterhumanity,dating,and relationships , on Reddit so I thought Iโd share it with you!
offering a virtual hug if you want one. its so horrible that roadkill has to even be a word. take your time if you need it
Tw: mentions/topics of animal death, description of gore (kinda), subjects of death, mild description of traumatic experiences, trauma art (blood and a bit of gore included)
Yesterday i saw a black cat run across the street. I knew this cat. I've seen it often running around in the bushes. I also pet it a few times.
Today around 7:40 AM it was dead. It's insides across the street all bloody. It traumatized me and I've been distressed the whole day. Couldn't focus on anything and zoomed out constantly.
Normally I don't have a problem with seeing dead things but seeing this kitten looking like it's stomach exploded gave me flashbacks of past traumas (my first 2 cats got hit by a car) and a new trauma. The whole day i was thinking about what the owners of the cat felt when their found their beloved pet like that on the street. The kitten was still very long and could've lived way longer.
But seeing this also distressed me bc i also had a dream about dead animals that night and someone trying to murder me and my family (I'm not going to describe the dream as it would be too long and probably too graphic).
I've also been thinking about death a lot recently. Not like my own death, but much rather about the death of my beloved ones. My family, friends, pets, etc. I'm not scared of my own death but I'm scared of the death of the people around me. Mainly about my pets recently because there are a lot of dead rats lying on the streets in and outside our village and a few days ago a dead dog was found in a field.
I'm so scared that moppi and Garfield could die anytime soon. They are the cats that have lived the longest with me. I've had moppi since 2017 or 2018 and Garfield around 2021 or 2022. I've bonded with them more than with my other 3 cats I've had before and I'd be lying if I'd say I don't feel some kind of guilt even though their deaths wasn't my fault. But to me it would feel like that i loved moppi and Garfield more than eddie, ignatz and รถrni even though i love them all equally the same.
But what also made it traumatic for me was that I've figured out how i died as a cat in my past live. One of my theriotypes is a black mainecoon cat. I never knew how i lost my life as one but i was pretty sure i was killed by a car or something (but never was 100% sure). I got flashbacks and memory shifts that were new to me (but not nice ones). Walking across the road, worrying about nothing until a big engine with bright lights hits you in seconds, not even having the time to run away or figuring out what is happening, until it all went black.
Theriantropy isn't always nice as a lot of people say. As you can see it can also be really traumatic depending on your experience
When I'm coping with something i draw it because i know the paper I'm drawing on won't and can't judge me for my feelings.
It's just scrabbled but it's not meant to be beautiful. It's meant to be meaningful.
I couldn't bring myself today to finish cat drawing requests or any of my art that includes cats. The only thing i was able to do today was draw this.
