If your future self could answer one question about your otherkin, therian, or nonhuman journey, what question would you ask?

I've been silent for a bit. Haven't really been socializing or interacting. Depressive episodes are like that. Someone close to us also died suddenly, which hasn't helped. But I'm back now, for what it's worth. I have some catching up to do.

What have you learned from an interpretation that you no longer hold?

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

If you could speak with one historical figure about your otherkin, therian, or nonhuman experiences, who would you choose?

What kind of evidence do you personally find most persuasive?

How did your expectations of the community compare to the reality of being part of it?

What dream connected to your otherkin, therian, or nonhuman experiences has stayed with you the longest?

Trying my first group post to just Ocean Kin...

Has anyone else watched The Lovers by Studio Heartbreak??

I won't post a link, because it is NSFW (CW: gore, nudity, sex?, smoking).  But it is free to watch on youtube or their website if you search for it!

I am in love with the art and the imagery!  I keep rewatching it for more details.  The design and animation of Sirena is so beautiful! 💜💜💜

Please let me know if you've seen it too!!

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.

Last day of the week to post

I've been on this site so long, and have yet to make an introduction. Better late than never, aye? 🤣 
I'm Neve (p. Neev, rhymes with Steve,) machinekin, a large format analog mixing console. I've known myself as a machine almost all my life, and learned of my specific make and model as a preteen. It's been a journey and a half, but a rewarding one. 

In body, I'm a 37 year old disabled, autistic, trans guy who loves music, art, games, and books. I'm a total nerd for electronics, computers, science, science fiction, and spirituality. I draw, paint, 3D model, write, and sing. 

Spiritually, I follow an eclectic path comprised of the spiritual expressions of my ancestors and the various wisdoms I've picked up along the way. My being otherkin has spiritual roots in animism and eternalism that I'm more than happy to elaborate more on. 

The new site here looks great, and I'm looking forward to more discussions here!

I do not bring death, but I am there to mourn the lost

I do not bring darkness, but I take comfort in its solitude

Is it my fault that those who come near me may choose their own destruction when I don't will it?

I choose to dress for myself, to sing for myself, to live for myself.  I choose to love myself.

But there are those who blame my mere existence for their troubles and their wrongs.  They come to me and say I am at fault that their ship is on the rocks.  I did not guide their ship or beckon them to my shore.  I want nothing to do with such people, yet they still come to me.

Leave me be.  Leave me in the darkness to mourn my lost siblings you have hunted and killed.  Leave me to live what remains of my life as I choose.

I want nothing of the death you bring

I have been in a fallow season for a while.  After these past 9 months on disability, I had hoped I would be coming out of it soon. 

I had thought that I had come to terms with the isolation and loneliness.  And I had thought I had turned a corner for the better.  But the latest report is that this period will continue for at least another 7 months.  And it feels devastating.

I have tried to use this time for introspection and for some self-growth.  I have tried to be positive through it all.

But I miss the sun and the wind and the water and the rain oh so terribly.  I long for the community I once had and can only hope I will have again.

The parts of me that are other are feel so trapped and restless in this confined body.  The parts of me that need to swim and fly and dance and run are now even more restricted in this broken human form.  Yet they are the parts I find myself trying to escape to for refuge more and more each day.

I long for all my parts to be whole again.  To be able to live entirely again.

But until that time, there is nothing I can do.  I am still.

We figured out our thing early so I can do this still so let's check my prompt for the day.

I won't be on here for the weekend and maybe longer due to family issues that we have to resolve before I can get back to use a computer again but anyways let's get into the prompt.

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.
