Brightest

I make things when I am bored and/or angsty.

Little side thing away from questioning for something more formally written-- 

This is something I originally wrote for my personal website. Since it covers an important part of my journey in the community, I wanted to have it here as well.

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:

I'm Liryen. Although I've been on the very fringes or peripheral edges of this community for some time, it's been a very long time now since I have been "active" in any meaningful sense of the word. Life has been keeping me busy, and my life has also changed a great deal. 

When I first started feeling like I might be a dragon when I was a young adult, one of the first questions I asked myself was:

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!

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.

Hello again!!

I find websites like Otherkin.net allow me to express myself easily without having to "dress up" online. Such a simple method of communication away from the goal of likes, follows and general engagement. That is the difficulty I have on Instagram and YouTube. It's all so... energetic. Colorful, jumpy, loud. As I get older I thrive better in the quieter sections of the community. 

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.

Finally back in a more nature-y area, and I feel so much better. I think being disconnected from any forest areas really makes me prone to lower moods. 

Reaching out of my swampy waters to wave hello! I am glad to be here! I am testing out how posting works and the like. 

Howdy! My name is Lupine of the Leaf Cooperative (my daemon and I). I have many alterhuman identities and many thoughts about them and alterhumanity as a whole, even if I forget to write those down. (Don't be like me--journal consistently!)

Knotted cord with K2 azurite stone and beads carved from European wolf bone, with a pendant featuring the therianthropy theta delta symbol with a wolf's face at the center.  Made for wolf and dog therians. Natural materials such as fur and bone have long been used to assist a shapeshifter into achieving their shift or growing closer to their animal-nature.

Hello! Today, I come with my drawing that I made recently. A little fun fact: the 'original' title was meant to be "Stop seeing with your eyes, start looking with your souls" [but in Polish]. However, it was a bit too long, so I changed it to something more simple.

It has been quite a long while since I last participated in anything even remotely relating to the otherkin community. I had started, more or less, in 2005. After quite a few many years, I opted out for a time.

People often speak of many otherkin, therian or alterhuman "identities", but I never found that wording as something I could identify with, personally. For me, I have one single identity, as one single person. However, that identity has many facets. All those facets are interconnected parts of a whole. They all relate to and with each other, all share a single crystal lattice. Angel and dragon, goshawk and bear. Even the cyborg.

Howdy! 
I am Krin (he/him/his). I am 20 yrs old and have been awakened / in the therian community since late 2019. I have had my ups and downs in discovering myself since I first joined, but it has been a marvelous time getting to know who I am in my roots.

I am currently in my second year university, studying electrical engineering as a transfer student from preforming arts. I have been a cellist for over 9 years. and an artist for over 10. 

I am alternative, neurodivergent, and queer. I love to participate in up-cycling and alt fashion.. though I usually opt for comfort. I am covered in tattoos and piercings. All of which I love. 

I am an animal nerd at heart and am passionate about keeping the world clean and safe for ALL, not just humans.

My two identities are woolly mammoth and diamondback rattlesnake. I have a feeling I have at least one other theriotype but have yet to give myself time to explore or question it. 

I moved here from instagram at a hope of a different pace and to meet new alter humans. I needed a more relaxed blogging site as instagram felt too cluttered and popularity based rather than individual experiences and just enjoying the community we have. 

I am looking forward to meeting people! feel 

hangs my feet over the edge of the void and glares down with unease as I try to comprehend how this site works
