Horsing Around or..... Horse

gillman My girlfriend, while laying with me in bed, had a horse tail phantom shift. This is shocking because they are an orthohuman. They have, briefly, adopted a 'linking identity on tumblr (as we both have many real-life friends who are active in the tumblr alterhuman sphere alongside me and my girlfriend wanted in on the fun), but the side-blog is rarely used. And it's for a crow linktype, not a horse!
I will admit, I enjoyed their expression as they processed what they just experienced. It's a weird sensation the first time it really happens. They had it only very briefly, but it was potent enough to make them pause.
This isn't the first time I've been with an orthohuman while they have a brief cameo. I'm not open with the nonhuman label specifically, but I won't hide my phantom sensations or connection to gillmen if the conversation deems it appropriate. At one point, I explained my simple meditation process for forcing phantom sensations a dear friend of mine. She tried it out, and ended up with phantom fairy wings for three days! She was baffled, and I just had to giggle. Many don't understand how vivid these things can be or that they're even real until it happens to them.
I explained to my girlfriend about how I developed phantom sensations and how they're not really that uncommon. It was a good, short conversation before they had to go to their office hours.
Just a moment from today I wanted to stash somewhere. Will my girlfriend end up being alterhuman in some way? I don't think so, personally. They still feel very human (compared to my nonhuman friends whom feel distinctly Animalistic). I think this was a cameo from simply being exposed to nonhuman content through me and some very strong emotions they've been feeling recently.
But who knows, really? I may be dating a horse!
