What aspect of shifting related to your otherkin, therian, or nonhuman identity do you think deserves more discussion?

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.

Very recently, one of my two major "source" fictions released a new comic in the franchise. I have the book, but I haven't taken a look at it yet, nor am I in any rush to do so. Honestly, at this stage in my journey, I am more intrigued with whether any sort of "source" fiction contains themes that line up with dreams I've had, synchronicities, events that might have taken place in my life, et cetera.

Today I started a Blade Runner marathon, both movies plus the spinoffs. I don't consider Blade Runner to be a "source" material for me. However, there are a lot of similarities and parallels to the world I remember in my own memories, and I would probably be considered a "replicant" in the sense that I had enough human features: I could bleed, feel pain, and I did look human "enough".

Currently rewatching the entire Blade Runner series, including spinoffs. Although Blade Runner wouldn't be considered my "source fiction", it did come from the same inspirational wellspring. I do see a lot of parallels and similarities in the fiction to the world I remembered as an android or cyborg. It is one reason why I often use "replicant" in posts relating to this topic.

Guess what I discovered ?? This website haha ^_^

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?

unsure if that is the right term. forgive me.

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. 

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?

I saw a few posts online depicting detailed care guides for their species / theriotypes, and it inspired me to start planning my own! I wanted this care guide to be about my Xenomorph fictype (?) since my canine theriotype has been quite dormant for the summer. This will grow into either a couple of slides on Instagram, or just a proper blog post. 

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. 

Day 2 prompt:

Hello! I'm Hazel, 24 (he/they). For awhile I identified with xenomorphs / aliens, but lately it's evolved into a much more complicated identity that I'd like to explore further. I'm autistic and struggle with a lot of self shaming, which I'm hoping that connecting with this side of myself will help boost my own self confidence. I'm still getting used to talking (typing) about my identity, but it's a mixture of psychological and physical (?), and was most likely brought on by my autism + physical ailments that left me feeling disconnected from humans. 

Is the character you identify as the same entity as the character in the source material, or a version, an echo, or something related but distinct?

Unlike some of the members of the Otherkin community I have seen, I felt comfortable at first, when I was a child. I was born human, therefore I was human. Makes sense, right?

It took twenty years to find your shadow
'Fore she sewed it on,
And you're much too big to fly by now.
Poor Tinkerbell is gone.
The Lost boys are now all grown up
And looking to get hired.
You could be like them you know,
If combed and re-attired.
Your impudence has never dulled,
Your tongue could split a hair.
To make sure Time won't come too close
you slice it through the air.
Boy, why are you crying?
is Neverland so far?
Or have you forgotten how to fly
and there's no route by car?

There's a little black sword in my hand today
It's the same old thing as yesterday
There's a pair of trav'lers bound for Tanelorn
The Eternal Champion's again reborn

It seems like no matter what subculture you're a part of, there's always somebody who's supposedly stranger. Lots of folks think Otherkin are pretty weird - but even some Otherkin think that Mediakin (a.k.a. Otakukin or Otakin) are beyond unusual.
