My name is Owl, and I'm a Barn Owl!
I am Nonbinary, Autistic, and a feral artist, both SFW and NSFW.
I use it/its and they/them pronouns, and usually describe my gender presentation as "androgynous, with a bit of fem flair" :>
I am also grey-asexual, demiromantic, and polyamorous!
I am very much a therian/otherkin!
This means that I am NOT a human, but a barn owl, in the same way that a transgender creature is not the gender society attempts to assign them to.
the nature of this identity varies from creature to creature, and some have different definitions for the differences between being otherkin or therian. For my part, when I say I am a barn owl, it means I fully and completely am one, there is nothing human about me. Our system has historically identified more with the "otherkin" label, whereas I personally tend to lean more torwards calling myself "therian," but both are wonderful! I may also sometimes refer to myself as transspecies.
I am a part of a plural system, and am the current host of the Moon System!
This means that I am one of several creatures who reside in one shared physical body. We refer to our collective body as "the Moon System." "host" means that I am primarily the creature who is controlling the body day to day, though the other creatures also often will take control when wanted, called "fronting." Plurality works in different ways for different systems, for us it means that, well, we are all our own complete individuals. The other system members can be found here, though as of the time of writing, I am the only one who has set up a website. We also have access to an "inworld," something some plural systems have that functions for us as an internal physical space where the creatures of a system can exist physically together!
I am an antifascist, anticapitalist, anarchist!
I spend a lot of my free time learning about leftist history, capitalism and its colonialist spread, and the history of resistance to fascism and authoritarianism. I'm hoping to be able to use this website as an excuse to get some reading I'd like to do done, and write about it!
I am a spiritual creature!
I care very deeply about life and nature, and am a spiritual creature, though I tend to keep those parts of me to myself. I have lately been trying to come out of my shell more on these topics, and intend to use this website to do more of that!
I often refer to myself as a witch, though I am not wiccan, and don't personally classify myself as neopagan. I am probably easiest described as an animist and loosely anti-realist. Our system is deeply close with the moon, the wind, and the earth. We also practice magic somewhere in the veins of chaos magic. as well, our therian/otherkin identity, our plurality, and our politics, are all very strongly intertwined with our spirituality.
I am rather new to fiction writing, but I'm hoping to start doing that more frequently with this website as well!
I plan on mostly writing things exploring themes of nonhumanity and species euphoria!
Also if it wasn't clear, I am an adult!
