Constellations, packs, prides, oh my

greetings, havent posted in a bit due to things happening in everyday life; i come back to ask, what does a pack, a pride, a constellation or other have to be for you? who do you consider part of the group, is it strictly family-based, strictly alter/nonhuman, does it have to be a certain amount of folks, does everyone need to be the same 'type or clade, what do you do together (if anything), does everyone know eachother, etc etc. if you dont have a pack or are more on the solitary side, would you enjoy being in one anyway?

Personally, my constellation as of now consists of my mate and my biological little brother, all alterhuman and with 'types unrelated to mine. i would consider some irl/online human friends part of it as well, but in a more distant way if that makes sense. they may not be part of the core constellation but they are welcome anytime to join us for things.

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.

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.

On death and darkness

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

On Otherkin & Therian Curios, Relics & Artifacts

Post type: Photo

One topic I had been meaning to write more on is the usage of natural materials (bones, skins, stones and etc) in the otherkin and therianthropy exploration process. This is a topic I and my system have decades of experience on, having utilized natural materials in our personal explorations, our art and our magic for almost three decades now. I am, however, out of practice with writing and producing long form content, something I used to be very good at. Time and covid have left me rusty, and I'm working on changing that.

Changes and culture shock

Kaziel 🌐
Post type: Text

I must admit, I'm experiencing some degree of culture shock in easing myself back into otherkin/therianthropy "community" spaces. The landscape has changed, and I am unsure if it's changed for the better, to be honest. In addition, in (re)joining certain social media groups and having to explain and justify my claims to people who were in kindergarten back when I was first deep in research and self discovery is...something, that's for sure.

Drink the Moon's Luck

The hoot of the owl we'll follow with care
Jack o' Green, Will o' Wisp, Robin and Puck
She'll lead us a goat-path no mortal should dare:
Come, off to the woodland to drink the moon's luck!
The tracks of Tod-Low'ry shall show us the way
Jack o' Green, Will o' Wisp, Robin and Puck
To glades which are hidden in harsh light of day:
Come, off to the woodland to drink the moon's luck!
We'll rade on the ridge at the top of the hill
Jack o' Green, Will o' Wisp, Robin and Puck
And humans shall find the wind suddenly chill:
Come, off to the woodland to drink the moon's luck!
Singing fey music from moonrise 'til dawn
Jack o' Green, Will o' Wisp, Robin and Puck
And as sudden we came, we'll sudden be gone:
Come, off to the woodland to drink the moon's luck!
We'll steal through the forest, which often at night
Jack o' Green, Will o' Wisp, Robin and Puck
Holds many a wonder for fairy delight:
Come, off to the woodland to drink the moon's luck!
The meadow-brook's waters to touch and to taste
Jack o' Green, Will o' Wisp, Robin and Puck,
With twilight upon us I bid ye make haste!
Come ye, o follow, to drink the moon's luck!
