i was just wondering...

how many others here aren't quite human?   i mean, i know it happens, but-  i'm not human.  i don't know what i am.  heather drew a really nice picture of me in our journal (as soon as our furniture gets here, i'm sure she'll scan it and post it somewhere).  but does anyone else here have non-human features?  also, does anyone else experience a relatively smooth front transition? heather, ceri, and i have no problem switching around for some reason.

thanks in advance!

Most of my facets are human...ooorr something "close"/half that. The first one I consciously recognized (which was one of the "longest-running-this-life" and loudest) was a phoenix. With the screwy scale I've got (I'd be more of a Median system in multiple terms or "Facetting" from the Otherkin lexicon), Crystal-Star-Falling's one of the ones that caused a bit of a "what...who the f*** am I now/how much of me comes from them?" identity crisis a couple years ago ^^; So ironically, for all that she's one of only a few total nonhumans, she's hard to pick out specifically just b/c so much of her's part of "Birdy". (-.-; Hell, she's how I GOT that nickname.) Mrf. Technically I don't have very jarring transitions, but I'm not really "switching front", so much as shifting weight between facets that're loud - the few times sleep dep/alcohol/medication/etc.'ve caused an actual identity change...the "me to them" was jarring, but the blurring back was pretty slow/gradual, and I suspect the "jarring" was just that it's not -really- normal for me.

Ooh, that describes me fairly well, too. I tried to explain it once as "It's not so much "who's fronting at the moment" as "whose influence is dominant in the blurry-meld-thing at the moment", but you described it better.

Though there are a couple of people in here who are very much separate, their own distinct beings, etc. - but they never or almost never influence the "front" directly.
