It's kind of a bummer how a lot of people think otherkin are a 2020s thing when it's been around since at least the 1970s
I'd like you to imagine an Elf [Tolkienesque] in bellbottoms tearing it up at a disco. That is the decade where this all started and it kicks ass
#textpost#Elves were the first documented otherkin (it's where we got the word from—the Elves)#Werewolves and vampires came a bit later and then dragons very slightly after that#But this is just what surviving records have given us. There were likely otherkin in different terms before the '70s#The Elves had a physical newsletter. Werewolves and vampires had BBS and other messaging boards that could be archived#Dragons in general just seem to be really really good at archiving data lmao
