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.
Universe
Posts from across the community. New members are part of the Universe too — the dust and gas of the Nebula simply obscure them from view until they reach a certain luminosity. When they graduate, everything they have written shines through here.
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.
My beginnings in the otherkin community
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.
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.
Hello again!!
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 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.
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.
Big fan of this post! Also just excited to try out this feature.
Regulation Through Nonhumanity
Little side thing away from questioning for something more formally written--
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.
If your source material continued, changed significantly, or was rebooted — has that happened? And if so, what did it mean for your identity?
Just a simple discussion question—what experiences/instincts/feelings made you discover that you're alterhuman? That you're your species in particular?
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.
Yo does anyone have any ideas to cure my boredom on here especially after my anxiety spiked? (not talking about it just fam stuff)
Day 2 prompt:
Hello hello!!! First time poster here :D
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.
What time of day seems most conducive to shifts related to your otherkin, therian, or nonhuman experiences?
Loved this!
