I do not bring death, but I am there to mourn the lost

I do not bring darkness, but I take comfort in its solitude

Is it my fault that those who come near me may choose their own destruction when I don't will it?

I choose to dress for myself, to sing for myself, to live for myself.  I choose to love myself.

But there are those who blame my mere existence for their troubles and their wrongs.  They come to me and say I am at fault that their ship is on the rocks.  I did not guide their ship or beckon them to my shore.  I want nothing to do with such people, yet they still come to me.

Leave me be.  Leave me in the darkness to mourn my lost siblings you have hunted and killed.  Leave me to live what remains of my life as I choose.

I want nothing of the death you bring

I have been in a fallow season for a while.  After these past 9 months on disability, I had hoped I would be coming out of it soon. 

I had thought that I had come to terms with the isolation and loneliness.  And I had thought I had turned a corner for the better.  But the latest report is that this period will continue for at least another 7 months.  And it feels devastating.

I have tried to use this time for introspection and for some self-growth.  I have tried to be positive through it all.

But I miss the sun and the wind and the water and the rain oh so terribly.  I long for the community I once had and can only hope I will have again.

The parts of me that are other are feel so trapped and restless in this confined body.  The parts of me that need to swim and fly and dance and run are now even more restricted in this broken human form.  Yet they are the parts I find myself trying to escape to for refuge more and more each day.

I long for all my parts to be whole again.  To be able to live entirely again.

But until that time, there is nothing I can do.  I am still.

This song was based on original lyrics, written by me in April 2011: https://www.otherkin.net/posts/whats-changed/

However, it was set to music and performed by an AI, Suno.  This allowed me to share it in a format that I simply wouldn't have been able to otherwise, and personally I think this is the best version of the song, and came out remarkably consistent with my original vision for it.  However, I will also be posting an acapella version in my own voice, with the melody as I had originally imagined it when writing the song.  You can find that here: https://www.otherkin.net/posts/whats-changed-acapella-version-de497393/

Once again just before I go to bed. Today's prompt is:

I'm not sure I ever even formally introduced myself here yet. That might change. I'm still working on some posts and articles. I write quite a bit, mostly on my tablet. I then transplant posts here. It helps to preserve more of my writings.

So... My account isn't exactly new, but I haven't been active here enough to make my presence known, so hi. The one speaking here is Guilherme and I'm part of the Fragments System (we are currently accepting being called Prometheus). I'm the main fronter along with Gabriel, but I still appear here more often.

Trying out one of these prompts myself:

If your source material continued, changed significantly, or was rebooted — has that happened? And if so, what did it mean for your identity?

im cyber, im just saying hi with this post !! :D im an angel :D 

Hello All, I’ve known I was a God for most of my Mortal vessels life. I suppose I wanted to sag Hi so I can get to know other Gods

Who I am is actually of little concern here. Know me personally, and know who I am.

It has been quite some time since I last engaged in writing of this sort. I find myself out of practice, and unsure of what I want to say.

My name is Alaereth Seriasin. I am currently incarnated on a world known to my people as Yyl'Nector.

As Earth reckons time, it has been over a decade since I was last able to make consistent, reliable contact with my host, Jarin. From my own subjective experience, it has been closer to a year, perhaps a year and a half.

you are awesome and appreciated :) u deserve to have a good day :)

I saw a post with the prompt thing, so I wanted to try it, too. My first prompt is:

Day 2 prompt:

Before I get to the prompt, I want to let you know that I can't be here every day. I will be here for 7 days every other week. Anyways, today's prompt is:

This thought has stewed in my mind for quite a bit now; and I don't think I'd be the same had I not grown around other, much smaller cats. I feel like there's definitely some behaviours that rubbed off on me, even though i can't quite put my claw on it. It's like getting raised with cats made me lose my bite, if that makes sense. It made me mellow out, which I don't consider a bad thing. That being said I'd be interested in hearing other folks' experience surrounding pets or other animals you might've been close with when younger, and how it did or did not affect your behavior or even your identity

My bad if this is worded poorly I just got back home and my thoughts are all scattered :x

Guys I lost the drawing from my pfp and I want to remake it but I can't draw to save my life. I traced N's body and added random components for the og to make my oc. Got any tips that might help me?

Just before bedtime rq:
