Monster-untamed - Welcome To The Pond - Tumblr Blog
“You’re really wise beyond your years. You remind me of a turtle from some old fable”
Inbox is finally empty after a year of it being full
I miss my horse. I haven’t seen him in two weeks because of the weather
Meeting of the Minds in the Outer Banks.
I changed my blog vibe back to its original aesthetic
I felt stuck in a rut with my old pfp, since it’s how people recognize me on here but I don’t really identify as a swamp monster as much (I actually believe I was wrong about that type)
I had my pfp set as Leonardo when I first started this blog so that’s what I’m doing again :} I keep forgetting that this is my blog

Humans are derived fishes. The skeleton of a human (A) compared with the skeleton of a derived tetrapodomorph fish (B), with the fish skeleton scaled to the size of the human’s and oriented in a humanlike pose (and with a humanlike skull). Red shading indicates dermal bone and, in fishes, the dermal fin rays. (From Long 2011 © John A. Long.)

New intro time
Hey everyone :) You can call me Fisher on this ol’ alterhuman blog of mine. I have another name but Fisher works here
I identify as…
-biped turtle spirit/demigod (think of a tortle from D&D)
-regular/non-anthro turtle, (red eared slider) & tortoise (American tortoise)
-fictionkin but it’s not really mentioned on this blog but my sideblog is full of it. Good luck finding it lol
If you want the specifics, I am physically nonhuman. I’m not physically a turtle. My turtle identity is spiritual with some physiological aspects. My physical identity is linked to my fictionkin species/race
I like the labels alterhuman, nonhuman, otherkin and transspecies, or just my species name :) but at the end of the day I don’t really care
Queer identity:
bigender / achillean / pansexual my pronouns are he/it/thing and anything else that makes me drift from what a ‘human’ gender is
I’m also trying out west/west pronouns so I’d love if you could use that so I can see if I like ‘em :)
Other parts of me:
Age is weird as a turtle. I’m in my one hundreds for sure (which is basically 40 for my kind) but I am bodily 19 so keep that in mind when interacting
I’m a cowboy…There’s really no other way to say that. I’m from Texas and I’m practicing horse keeping and hopefully one day steer wrestling or anything in rodeos. I really love rodeo sports and I’m very glued to cowboy culture :)
I’m diagnosed autistic and dyslexic
Special interests are Film History, World Religion, and Prehistoric Anthropology (cavemen r awesome)
I wrote a long post about my hearthome. You can read it here
I have an instagram but I don’t really post much, I mostly just follow people. I also have a carrd but it’s very messy and under construction. I will link it here when I’m done :}
You might know me from my old blog @thefailedexperiment and to that I salute you
Did August just suck ass for anyone else?
Is the green creature in that video post you rb'd you? /slash jay
- You know who:)
I am alien….The green alien
