Luna Moon

Hello and welcome to our new blog! We have crawled through various online communities for years and now find ourselves here. Last year when cohost closed we planned on staying in the "down low" for a while. We actually started therapy again for the first time in about 10 years the day cohost closed for posting. A lot about us has changed since then, or at least we feel like we have expanded as a person. Since starting therapy and being able to accept myself more, I have come to be more aware that I am therian and plural, and have been my whole life. I had known I was plural at various parts of my life, but by the nature of the illness, I was always in denial. I could not begin to process how much this already was a part of my life. Much of my disassociation and amnesia was written off as exclusively caused by ADHD that I never thought anything more of it. My wife also recently found out she is plural too, so it explains why she never found anything "off" about some of behaviors. In part of discovering we were plural, we also discovered we were therian. As much as I have been terminally online long before I should have been using the internet to socialize, I actually wasn't really familiar with therianthropy and other forms of nonhumanity. I had heard really basic and often times incorrect definitions of them, but at those times I didn't really fully relate. Now that I better understand what nonhumaity can look like, and I can accept myself as plural (and just be more accepting of myself in general), I have changed a bit as a whole. We are still the same system we always were, we have the same memories and main interests that we did before, but it feels like we downloaded some new DLC while also meticulously organized our body and mind.

We are still getting to know ourselves as we are now. We are hoping to be able to use this blog to share our experience both to help others and to help ourselves. Last year someone (maybe more than one person?) in our system was making blogs on neocities and nekoweb. These sites really helped us be more comfortable with being ourselves! However, something has changed and I don't feel like I should be the one editing those sites. I am do not plan to delete them, nor am I ashamed of them, it is just that they don't feel like they belong to me. So for now I am leaving them behind. I considered making a webpage again, but tbh it is too cumbersome for what I am looking to do. Since starting therapy I uhhhh kinda started losing the mental capacity to code. I probably could if I really put my nose down to it, but man I just think this is a better choice for what I am looking to do. 

So what will I probably do here? 
If you somehow already know me and are familiar with my old websites, basically expect the same sort of content 

• Talking about fun things like AuDHD, general neurodivergeny, cPTSD recovery, now with a side of getting to talk about those in relation to being plural and therian 
• Talking about my crafts (mostly knitting and crochet) and my garden 
• Talking about paganism and witchcraft 
• My own written tutorials related to anything above
• Reviewing/analyzing the occasional book, movie, analog horror, toy, or whatever thing I feel like writing about 
• Blogging about just regular old day to day life 
• Occasional fic if I ever feel brave enough to share/commit to actually writing down the stories in my head
• Oh yeah and we are going to be starting to medically transition soon (assuming doctors/insurance work with me), so we will probably talk about our experience with that
