Been a while. But I've been feeling more dog-like as of late. Some of it stems from spending time with my partner, and I love that so much. They amplify my experiences greatly, and I really want to tell them about how I feel identity wise.

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.
Often my experience as an "alterhuman" is one where the past, present and future converge into one. Pictured is my black bearskin cloak, with my Eurasian bear claw pendant. But the claw holds a strange secret.
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.

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.
Hi, as you can see, I'm very new to this forum and the otherkin/alterhuman community. I mostly came here due to the need to figure out what exactly is up with me internally. I'm hoping to be met with an open mind, knowing I didn't come here in bad faith. So, here's some info about me.
