The present personal narrative
So, I've had a hell of a past couple weeks and feel the need to spill a couple things in my own personal style.
I am not the me I used to be, but not even the gods know why I've reeked of coyote so long - not most of them anyway.
I participate in magic while knowing it has no scientific basis, yes I believe it can change my life, and no I do not dismiss the science. There's a few threads involved, but note how the implied correlation between placebo and lack of any effect from any source is as foolish as it is dismissive.
More than one thing can be true at a time, and if you don't believe I can give you new limbs, new realities, change your image and form for even a fleeting moment... then damn do I have some surprises to show you.
I accept friends without causality and stories without sense, because hey it makes sense to someone in some language.
What I don't accept is riddles caged in sadism and abuse, even and especially if they're spoken as a grave warning for me to not do something I'd already decided against the year prior, from someone pretending to be one of my headmates (yes this actually happened.)
But if a predator tries to name and claim me, it's a simple catch to flip the tables and claim it for my own. Don't underestimate a fox in a labcoat - we got a strong pull.
So who IS Kyresti? (Rev. Sep 2019, part 1/2)
So, a little background about me:
There's a few things that don't change.
-I'm on the high-functioning end of the autism spectrum.
-I've been a furry since 2000, otherkin since 2002, though the minor details went through a laundry list of changes.
-I'm pansexual and a devout relationship anarchist. In more confining/conventional structures I lean almost entirely aromantic.
-I'm post-traumatic on multiple fronts and coping in strange but effective ways. The species stuff is at least partly connected, and yes I'm open about that. 💚
-I'm demifluid with my resting state trending towards androgyny.
-Collectively we're a median system with expression thereof varying markedly (think Garnet from SU but somewhat less stable as a fusion). As Kyresti I'm the hypervisor, permanent observer, and near-permanent body controller.
So who IS Kyresti? (Rev. Sep 2019, part 2/2)
And here's the more contemporary quirks-mode aspects.
-As of last year? I am post-GRS, outie to innie but with complicated feelings on the outcome and a frequent desire for 'mixed characteristics' (Yes it IS possible, I think for all but at least for pre-op AMAB types. Message me and I can refer you to surgeons who know that technique.)
-As of about the beginning of this 2019? I'm half gray fox, half coyote, therian partly by choice.
-Devoutly transhumanist and a vocal proponent of morphological freedom. Your body, your wants, your business, and fuck the haters!
-Actively trying to self-teach from a wide swath of science and engineering disciplines to help make that real (It's gonna be a while though, this is kind of a lot.)
-Lover of academia as a haven for progress and research, sworn enemy of academia as an institution of gatekeeping, debt-slavery and corporate cronyism.
-Semi-solitary eclectic pagan, moderate intensity chaos mage, childe (in the Vampire sense) of Coyote. And yes I DO mean that clever yet often careless, no-shits-given oversexed asshole of a trickster god.
-Student of Fox (predominantly Red) for his light-heart and razor wit, and yes there IS a spiritual component to my therian crap why do you ask. XD
Thinking about something I'd read fairly recently, don't remember the source. And I can tell you from experience there's exceptions and quirks, but it's been mostly true for me.
Neurotypicals are generally instinctly good at understanding eachother, autistics are generally good at understanding eachother. It's when the two types interact that things get hard to translate.
Also a bit of a follow-up: How much benefits do you get in terms of insurance, vacation days, etc?
Foxes
I'm sure a good handful of my followers will appreciate this short.
Internal headcanon, kinda shitposting but idk bored, passing sexual refs
If anyone ever tried to pull the whole 'against evolution' shit on my debauchery or my oral fixation?
Consider I started out in the fandom part avian. Stayed that way over a decade. And though I still havn't played catch-up with the art, I've gone back to that in different ways.
You ever see what a bird can do with their beak? You ever see how they bond? Take that and apply sapience. There's something to be said for silver tongue helping hold a flock together.
That's not what that term means? Well fuck if I care. :p
Howdy. I'm Lighty. Mid-30s, former drifter, unapologetically trans, altersex/ambisex. Long story short, part grey fox, part coyote, bit of weird shit thrown in.
Radical transhumanist fae critter in rose-tints. Not affiliated with the Unseelie court or the Korps, but not afraid to play it a little scary. No edge intended. Just a weary critter trying to bring some cheer to a world turned crapsack by colonialism.
Therian partly by choice, slapdash animist, autodidact, aspiring mad scientist and metalbender.

Minors (17 or younger) please do not interact. No hostility intended, just don't want to deal with the liability.
And in general, if we havn't established a rapport, please introduce yourself BEFORE sending follow reqs. Sick of people not reading this, and I'm here to make friends, not content.
(Everybody deserves an identity, nobody deserves one forced on them. And not everyone keeps that of the community they were raised in.)
