“Really, admiral, you do not really still cling to the idea that Sir Francis...”
– Varney the Vampire, a novel from 1847. (via nonhumanquotes)
—Ladies and gentlemen, I should just like to point out that this was fifty years before Bram Stoker got his mitts on the idea, although I don’t know if the title sounded as silly to the average person then as it does to me...

sometimes my species dysphoria and gender...
kinkithandkind:
i think being fey has protected me from a lot of the body hatred i see so often in other trans people—i have nothing against being shirtless in front of other people, or even letting strangers see my body. i’m so confident in my projected image of self that being naked around other people doesn’t bother me. it’s almost like i’m subconsciously trying to emit a glamour of what I...

i went out to a diner last night.
kinkithandkind:
it was in celebration of one roommate’s birthday, and since his parents and brother came up to see him and wanted to meet us, we all went out to dinner.
one of my roommates ordered a giant breakfast plate off their all-day breakfast menu. it came with three little packages of liquid honey which she didn’t want. she gave them to me.
i am going to eat them later tonight and drink...

fifteen: your favourite non-human...
kinkithandkind:
are there any celebrities who are openly non-human? i’ve never heard of one. and i’m not very involved in the non-human community outside of tumblr, so i don’t know who is well known in the community at large.
I don’t believe there are any. Speculation sometimes goes round within the community as to who people think might be fey or otherwise non-human, but as far as I...

spruce ale is certainly interesting.
kinkithandkind:
i think i much preferred the elderberry black.
still, i suppose i’ll finish this one. i did open it, after all.
Spruce ale is something of an acquired taste, yeah. Have you tried heather ale?

Unpopular Opinion Time:
sistercrow:
TW: Discussion of suicide
Those compassion alerts that keep going around are really fucking triggering and incredibly sketchy at best.
It rubs me the wrong way that a person who is depressed suddenly has all their rights to privacy and agency stripped away and people think it is perfectly fine to start circulating alerts about them all over tumblr, to people that don’t even know...

Self Care Tip #6: Take a bath
selfcare101:
[…] Anecdotes aside, here are my tips for taking a luxurious bath:
Throw in a chunk of cocoa butter. The cooking grade stuff you find at the supermarket is great. Your skin will be silky smooth when you get out of the bath!
Sweet almond oil is also wonderful to put in the water - I recommend blending some almond oil with sweet smelling essential oils, such as lavender or...

Not necessarily those who post o/t related things, just folk who aren’t judgmental towards me for it. I need more magic on my dash.
Sorry to bother those watching these tags.
Hi there! I’m a Witch of the sort you’re lookin’ for, I think!
I formerly identified with both the Therian and Vampire communities. My view of these phenomenon has changed - but the...

friendofdorothywilde:
No, really, I’ve yet to find a social media platform I’ve liked as much as that one.
Sometimes I get such Livejournal nostalgia but it’s all sad & echoey in there now. I’d support your movement though. It could be very retro chic.
I realized how much I’ve missed Liveournal, and have been making an effort to update mine the last few...
swanblood:
Also, I keep getting these weird bumps on my arms recently.
They’re not like a rash or sore or any strange color. They’re the same color as the rest of my skin. It’s exactly like having goose bumps, except that they’re smaller and less dramatic than when I get goose bumps, and they don’t react to cold/heat (I’m usually getting them when it’s a normal temperature, not when I feel...

elfquest rambles
pulverheks:
this is where i try to articulate that elfquest has been with me for more than half my life and i’m really glad about that ok bye
This made me pause for a moment and try to think about how long ElfQuest has been with me. It’s been long enough I’m no longer exactly sure when I was introduced to it, but I think I was 11. That would mean it’s been 2/3 of my life....

Creating Space
treefae:
My partner and I live in a space that arrived available in perfect timing, as if we were meant to live in Harrisburg. We landed here with the intention to do nothing but put ourselves in a better financial situation. The situation was completely beneficial for both us and the landlord. So we moved in, struggled with a few things and went unemployed/employed on and off for the past 2...

This needs to stop…and let me tell you why! (on... →
I won’t reblog the whole post as it’s rather long, but this quote pretty much says it:
But if a martial artist who is also a contortionist can’t mimic a pose you use constantly for female fighters, there might be a problem in, you know, your choices on basic anatomy. I can’t be the only one who thinks this.

otherkin safe space/community center/whatever
jarandhel:
silveth:
People of all sorts of religions, cultures, and subcultures wear clothing or accessories or engage in activities in public that visibly identify what they are and make others around them aware of it. Why should otherkin not be allowed?
For the same reason that SCA folks don’t go in full garb to restaurants, Furries don’t go to them in fursuits,
…They do,...
