Hey! Just here to spread a little bit of joy!

I don't EXACTLY know what my kintype is but I've categorized it as a seaserpent/river lindworm. During the summer I got to go swimming a lot and watched Ruby Gilmen; Teenage Kraken! My wife is supportive so I got to talk to her about making gear and the fastest way to swim. This year/summer has been difficult but this is a little bit of joy that at least to me is very accessible.

To all the ocean dwellers I just wanna say: You may not find anybody talking about your kintype, you may not be supported by anyone, and you may not be able to do things other otherkin/your kintype could do. But you are a creature of the sea. Your own special self 🌊

heyy, i love this! alterhuman positivity, especially uncommon alterhuman positivity is so so important, so this is awesome!

and hey, our kintypes sound kinda similar! resident sea monster speaking ^^

Hey I’m questioning where I am in the other kin world! I love the ocean and sea animals but I don’t know what I am and even where to start. Any suggestions or tips?

hello!!! welcome to the otherkin community :D

for me, i browsed LOTS of pictures of sea animals and old drawings and stuff. and i mean LOTS

and for my hearttypes, i've always really liked those animals. I don't necessarily identify as those animals but i often find myself wishing i could turn into them or be them.

and of course browsing otherkin tumblr always helps! this place has really helped me tons :3

i wish you luck!

about the kintype

hello! so, since otherkinity (is that the correct term?) is such a broad label, i'm here to describe one of my most prominent kins, a sea monster! below the cut cuz this is kinda long

pardon how awkward this may seem, i find it hard to describe my different identities sometimes 😭 i switch back and forth between present and past tense because this identity is both spiritual and psychological.

the way i perceive myself in the sea monster sense changes based on a few factors, so by that assumption i can assume i've got 2(ish) forms.

quadruped (mostly)

one form is much like a lindworm, which is a creature in folklore often seen to be like a dragon-like snake without wings and hind legs. now, you might wonder, i did say quadruped. that's because it changes between being more like a lindworm and being more like a dragon without wings, except with a more serpentine body, much like Eastern dragons. in this form, no matter if it's more lindworm-esque or Eastern dragon-esque, i was about the size of humpback whale. during shifts in this form i more strongly desire bodies of water, leading me to believe i mostly stayed underwater while in this form.

2. biped

the bipedal form is much like how the sea monsters look in the movie 'Luca', but obviously without that Pixar style. I also have a longer snout and my legs are more digitigrade. In this form i am about 6'5. while in shifts in this form (which is uncommon, mostly happens when i'm in the shower or getting out of the pool 😅) i have no preference for land nor water, so i believe when I walked upon land this is what i looked like.

The coloration stays the same between the two forms. here's a color palette i very quickly whipped up that seems most accurate

now for diet and mannerisms!

i mainly operated on a pescatarian diet, but occasionally ate marine plants and such.

i lived on my own, traveling by myself. i lived in a small cave-like cove with a small amount of surface-level land that i could walk upon. i had a small collection of treasures and trinkets that i stole from a small human town not far from my den. i either slept in a nest made up of kelp, rocks, and sticks or in the water in my den, cozied into the sand.

hope you enjoyed reading about my kintype! let us know if you'd like more content like this :D
