i was wondering if any of your kintypes effects how you eat? whether it's what you eat or how. 

Howdy! I am curious how everyone in this community came to the conclusion of what species, being or thing they are / identify as, the process of conforming certain parts of your identity. Your "awakening", if you will.

howdy! I go by a few names, mainly Ricky but also Alucard or Boothill. My current body is 25, female (although this means little to me) and I’m taken by my soulmate with whom I’ve lived all my past lives with. My soul is deeply intertwined with hers.

it's a bit difficult for me to know what to type, but i'd like to try. hello, i am rook. ive been... human for 18 years. i use it/its and object related terms (think "that thing").

im new to serious kinning, but not the idea of it. most of my kintypes are centered on past lives. or current lives. unsure. i am also a zombie in this life. i am not alive. i don't believe i am? anyway.

i consider all the undead my bretheren. 

i am experiencing a heavy dose of shame, but after years of researching the community and grappling with my own feelings, ive decided to indulge. 

i am also questioning therianthropy. some sort of rodent, i believe.

lovely to be here.

Hello! I’m Louis, or Encore, either works for me! A mutual of mine shared this website elsewhere, and that is how I got here. I thought, as I’ve seen others do, it would be worth me making a little introduction in the hopes of finding others with a shared idenity.

I'm not sure why I have chosen to do this, but, despite having some second thoughts about the privacy aspect of this, something tells me it's important to do so.

i am thinking. so i suppose i will ramble. warning for dark themes? i speak to myself about illness and the struggles of the undead

I've had a digital journal all about the various things i go through as a nonhuman being for quite a while now, but unfortunately i find myself writing less and less. I don't feel like it's a lack of motivation or anything, rather i just cant find anything to write about? I wish to keep adding stuff so I can look back on it later on, and it's a little frustrating to just have nothing to add to put on the blank page :x

I'd like to know if 1: you have a journal/log of sorts you write in and 2: how you manage to keep updating it on a regular/semi-regular basis

Just a simple discussion question—what experiences/instincts/feelings made you discover that you're alterhuman? That you're your species in particular? 

I got diagnosed around 14, and while it my scoliosis is not debilitating, the locker rooms in school reminded me that my skeletal structure was vastly different from the average human. This caused a great rift of dissociation between my mind and body, as if an impossibly thick cloud of fog formed between them. 

A thing that brings me a lot of joy in my life and really makes me appreciate my nonhuman identity is when I suddenly get a massive influx of feelings towards one specific past life because of a positive trigger.

I am aware that not all alterhumans were born with their identity, so this question is targeted to those who noticed traits of them being nonhuman during childhood. Here's a part of my story:

Hi :0
Beastie you can call me. I've been searching for a nice quiet place to discuss with other alter/nonhuman beings and I just happened to stumble here via Gillman's personal site. Tumblr wasnt doing it for me at all, and I preferred not interacting via my already established account out of "privacy", and I happen to find the community there to not be my thing anyway (too many kids for me too :x). I've always been fond of forums even though they aren't quite of my time lol, and this seems close enough to the atmosphere I've been searching for. I hope I'll find my place here.

Hit me up! While mildly anxious to talk to new folks online, I don't bite and if you click with me I'll never shut up, lol

Does your kintype have an influence on your gender identity? Maybe you disconnect your gender from your kitnype's gender? Or your gender identity changes during shifts? If you feel like you have an answer to any of these questions, feel free to share your thoughts. Like in my previous post, I'll also write about my experience:

Hello! My name is Xeep or Lucian, I am bodily 17. My pronouns are xe/they > he [I am a xenic individual]. I am an alien in every way, labels that describe my expreinces well are otherkin, holothere and transspecies. I have known about my identity since early childhood but discovered the alterhuman community about 4 or 5 years ago. I have a typing quirk where I replace 's' with 'z', but that occurs during intense shifts. I never do that as a joke. I'll  provide translations to anyone who needs them, or just some time later. I also have other alterhuman identities. More: I like art and poetry, hate social norms, love and feel connected to nature, and daydream about fictional characters. I'm plural and my "alien-ness" affects many of our alters, as it's the most important identity.

Hello everyone! My name is Dreki, and I'm a 26 winters old dragon currently residing in Germany.
I've been part of the otherkin community for several years now and identify specifically as a wind dragon. My draconity is a big part of who I am, although I'll save the story of how I came to understand and identify as a dragon for a separate post.

Outside of my otherkin identity, I'm a nurse. Caring for others is something that's always been very important to me. I'm generally a rather quiet and shy dragon at first, but I love getting to know others once I get comfortable with them.

Over the past few years, I've become involved in building communities for alterhumans. I'm one of the beings behind Eurokin, a European alterhuman community I created some time ago, and I've helped create and manage several other online spaces where alterhumans can share and talk about their experiences. I've also had the opportunity to meet fellow dragons in person dragon through Gathers hosted by Dragonkin.EU, which has been one of the most rewarding parts of being involved in the community. 

If you would like to find me elsewhere, I'm mostly active on Discord on the servers mentioned above. I also have a personal website and a blog on Tumblr.

I'm looking forward to reading all the writings posted here and seeing what this little community is like, as I've never been active on a forum before ^^'

See you around! Aru!

What time of day seems most conducive to shifts related to your otherkin, therian, or nonhuman experiences?

I don't know how this works. I'm trying to connect with people like me and make friends. If y'all got any ideas for me to find my people, I'd like to hear them.

I've been thinking if I should write something about why I'm specifically a wind dragon, and not some other kind of dragon. Usually, dragons are portrayed as huge, fire-breathing beasts, and I never really saw myself like this (← Considering that, I could also write a post about why I don't identify with most dragons, but that's for another time). I could have also had any other, different element, but I know why my aligned is the wind and air.

Just a tad bit curious... Is there anyone else on here that's also part of the emotional support stuffed animal community?
