• Alterhuman (general)
  • My experience as an alterhuman is quoiluntary in nature. On the spectrum of voluntariness and involuntariness, my experiences vary greatly, thus I label my alterhumanity as entirely quoiluntary.
• Fictionfolk (general)
  • As fictionfolk, I am: fictionkin, fictionhearted, talehearted, an archetroper whose tropetypes are based within fictional media, someone with fictional hearthomes, and someone whose fictionhood influences my spirituality. I am also a world-hopper, in which my connection to fictional worlds allows me to oversee them subconsciously.
• Transspecies
  • I use this label because most, if not all...

Olumide (they/them/he/him)

• pronounced as “OH-loo-ME-day”
• settled form: honey badger

• Aesop (c. 620 – 564 BCE)
  • Mostly psychological in nature. Some imagithropy was involved, specifically in connection with my Fate/Nasuverse fictomere.
  • Faithood— the overlapping experience between facthood and fictionhood— is essential to how and why I am Aesop. Although there are historic accounts pertaining to me as an individual, I'm often fictionalized in one of two ways: either modern historians find discrepancies on ancient accounts of me and speculate whether or not I was real at all, suspecting I may have been a conjured figure to attribute many stories to (such as the figure Uncle Remus, for example) or I am literally fictionalized in that several modern adaptations of my stories depict me as a fictional old, oftentimes black man sharing my fables to an invisible ...

• Umamusume (both the species and the work of fiction)
  • Occasionally, I experience being an Umamusume. Other times, I simply connect with Umamusume and its many stories as a non-thoroughbred horse. I like to joke that its adaptations make me feel like a dad glued to his tv screen, watching his team play. The factheartedness I feel towards this world's racehorses (ex: Gentildonna, Verxina, Still in Love, etc) factors in this vaguetype as well. I created an umasona to help navigate my complex feelings towards Umamusume, existing both as an OC and a fictionflicker to me. I also experience paratype-like feelings towards Umamusume as a species; Umamusume feel distinctly connected to my identity as a horse seeing that this species concept helped improve my relationship with equinehood, esp...

• denpa
• toon

• The Winged Lion (Delicious in Dungeon)
  • Partially psychological, partially metaphysical. This is one of two fictotypes where I’m a walking spoiler.
  • At a certain point, I experienced all the events of my source as it happened (albeit subconsciously) except I found my way out of limbo by becoming “meta”. In other words, I escaped the narrative, avoiding the outcome of experiencing a parallel life where I am devoid of desire and sitting idly in an empty dimension for eternity.
• Kerberos / "Kero-chan" (Cardcaptor Sakura)
  • Partially psychological, partially formed from imagithropy.
  • Canon-ambivalent. There’s slight divergences from CLAMP’s canon in the canon I’...

  • Also known as Magitek.

• The Grandcypher (Granblue Fantasy)
  • Draconic. Exclusively spiritual in origin (parallel life). Canon-ambivalent. I'm still a sentient ship. The only major difference in canon is that Djeeta is my captain, not Gran.
• RLS Galeon (Treasure Planet)
  • Exclusively psychological in origin.

• Magica by Yuzuko Hoshimi
• The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood
• Mahoutsukai no Yoru/Witch on the Holy Night
• The Ghost in the Shell (Multimedia)
  • Applies to all adaptations except for the 2017 live action film. I resonate with Mamoru Oshii's 1995 and 2004 film adaptations the most.
• Discworld (Novels)
  • Applies to all novels within this series.
• Ultraman
  • I’m hearted towards all adaptations of Ultraman and Ultraman as a general concept.
• Redwall (Novels)

• The Pokémon World
  • Although I'm both a pokemon and an otherhuman within this fictomere, I've never lived in the Pokémon World. However, I've felt close to this world since I was a child.
• Light Flight (Flight Rising)
  • Technically, The Light Flight isn’t a place but a collective of dragons with sworn allegiance to the Lightbringer and similar values around truth and knowledge. Their society is based within the Sunbeam Ruins, which is a sub-hearthome of mine. That said, I identify with this community and consider my ideal place of being.
  • I’ve identified with them and their clan for quite a while, especially as a dragon myself, but I am not a dragon from Flight Rising in particular.

• Bestiary
  • A compendium of various animals and life forms— be them mythological, fictional or factual— with an accompanying moral or lesson ascribed to each entry
    • Personally, I'm closer to a modern bestiary. My existence compiles many a species, person and concept across fact and fiction alike, coinciding with my identity as a shapeshifter. However, there are no "morals" or "lessons" to be gleaned from my experiences; rather, there are recurring themes throughout each of my fictomeres, which connect them together and ultimately forming the being that is me. Being a bestiary is also one of two "in between forms" I experience when I'm not presently phantom-shifting (the other being my form as a human).

• エレクトロ・ワールド (Electro World)
  • Originally performed by Perfume.
  • I am Electro World on account of the song's lyrical and symbolic relevance to my relationship with my fictionhood, especially with my denpa archetropy and alienation from various fictional worlds. Although the lyrics of my 'type aren't about that specifically, I can't help but feel that my life is reflected through those lyrics. My personal history, my self-discoveries and who I am now embody this song, thus making me Electro World.

• winged human
  • Specifically the group Flying Africans, who originate from my community's folklore and oral stories. This form is able to change between a fully human form, a winged human form and an avian form at will.
• harpy
  • I’m more a humanoid harpy with bird-like legs and taloned hands, similar to the pop culture depiction of my species. I also have a partially feathered body and mane. Most of my features pull from my avian ‘types, particularly my features as a tawny eagle and a eurasian griffon vulture.
• sphinx
  • I am a winged sphinx, to be specific. That said, I am my own species of sphinx.

• Lina Inverse (Slayers)
  • This imagitype also involves a lot of conworlding. However, unlike my prior imagitype, I heavily identify with the life of Lina Inverse and the world of Slayers ! That said, under those circumstances, I'm reconstructing this fictomere around how I'd experience life in that world. Rather than starting out alongside Gourry, I travel alongside Deidre (or Dee for short), a childhood friend and sellsword. Some familiar faces from my source's canon come around in their own way, as does Naga, but since this fictomere is purely creative in origin, its background differs greatly from its source.
• Sungel (Mahou Sentai Magiranger/Power Rangers: Mystic Force)
  • I do a lot of conworlding with this imagitype. That's because I exclusively see myself in Su...

• Miracle (non-canonical; New X-Men/Academy X)
  • A parallel life that I lost connection to. Miracle's a median system of Omega-level mutants. Their shared body has stone-like skin, hardened wings and glowing eyes, appearing kind of like an animated angelic statue. They also contain a mutation that allows them to manifest anything into being so long as it has a physical presence, hence their namesake as X-Men. Miracle's secondary mutation won't work if they try to will something intangible into existence, such as changing the outcome of a fight or the future. It has to be something physical like an object or a change in their biology/genetic code. This parallel life informed me of my mutanthood, and thus much of my experience as a winged mutant ties back into that, even though ...

• Umi Ryuuzaki/Ceres and Fuu Hououji/Windam (Magic Knight Rayearth
  • Exists in relation to my identity as Hikaru Shidou, Lexus and (Combined) Rayearth. I don't identify as either of my companions but they mean the world to me. It is a connection similar to but more intimate than heartedness. Even when we're apart, they feel like a part of me.
• Nova/Regalia (Magic Knight Rayearth)
  • Exists in relation to my identity as Hikaru Shidou, Lexus and (Combined) Rayearth. Similar to Umi, Fuu and their respective Mashin counterparts, I feel immensely connected to Nova and Regalia. They're also a part of me, and quite literally at that since Nova came into being from my heart.
• Lion Ushiromiya (Umineko no naku Koro Ni)
