Alien, Online [Slight Rant]

Post type: Text

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.

[2] Is there a connection between your gender identity and kintype?

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:

Being raised around animals

Post type: Text

This thought has stewed in my mind for quite a bit now; and I don't think I'd be the same had I not grown around other, much smaller cats. I feel like there's definitely some behaviours that rubbed off on me, even though i can't quite put my claw on it. It's like getting raised with cats made me lose my bite, if that makes sense. It made me mellow out, which I don't consider a bad thing. That being said I'd be interested in hearing other folks' experience surrounding pets or other animals you might've been close with when younger, and how it did or did not affect your behavior or even your identity

My bad if this is worded poorly I just got back home and my thoughts are all scattered :x

Pondering...

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.

Tips on journaling?

Post type: Text

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

Presentation? Reaching out?

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

— Me, hehe

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.

Your "awakening"

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.

Rarely a mammal, but this mammal in particular

Rarely do I identify with anything mammalian. Usually it is (closer to) avian, or reptilian, if it is something that is "alive" and not android or replicant. But, when I do, it is the bear in particular. A common pattern that has stayed with me, to varying degrees, across multiple lifetimes.
