User:Vagabondsun
vagabondsun is the internet moniker of mordecai midas (often shortened to just mord), a little animal that lives inside this website and runs on a hamster wheel to make it go.
yes, it's important to me that both my username and name are spelled in lowercase in all contexts. i use it/its + he/him pronouns, i'm in my late 20s, and i've been in the alterhuman communities for a bit over 15 years now. i am some kind of celestial creature that could ostensibly be called a dragon but which often takes the shape of other things. generic 'panther' is a common one, it's been a deer for the past while, and i'm seeing how fox might feel next. i'm the shard of a sun god or two and embody Pirate and Warlock as archetypes in ways that i'm told normal humans do not tend to. my spirituality, politics and relation to the world around me are strongly embedded in my alterhumanity.
having been around for so long, i've seen some things and know some things. i'm interested in bringing that information to a wider, ostensibly younger audience - not as a scolding greymuzzle, but as a person who genuinely loves and cares about the unique culture we've inherited and grown. here's to preserving and passing on what remains of our past while embracing the direction of the communities of the future.
asides from being an avid editor, my main job here is to manage the web server and all the technical, behind the scenes stuff that that entails. i'm not technically an admin, but by virtue of sharing a brain and a body and a life with the guy who is, inevitably i'm going to do some of his job and he's going to do some of mine. so you can give me a shout for adminy things as well.
i also edit alterhuman-related articles on the other site, and i'm the mod of the wiki_editors community on pillowfort.
COI disclaimer
i am a relatively prolific writer on alterhuman topics, including the following sources used on this wiki:
- glamourbombing
- You are the sum of your friends
- Here (were, are, will be) Dragons
- Otherkinity isn't LGBT+ but Alterhumanity is Queer
- 6 years of dragons on the Alt+H Discord server
- an untitled essay about archetypal identities
- the hart jumping out of my chest
- words coined on the alt+h discord server
- transspecies: two flags and an FAQ
- ⎇ (a proposal to use the alt key as an alterhuman symbol)
- small thoughts on a more personally useful shortform definition of 'alterhuman' that i've been rolling around in my head
(for attribution purposes, as i said, my name is spelled in all lowercase. in articles, please subsequently refer to me with my forename, not my surname as is standard in academic writing.)
