[cotta-therian]

My contishifted (shift that "appears and disappears" frequently) wings will finally be free 🙏

[ettle]

@misotofu and some others said it looked like wings could emerge from Grian's sweater gap. News is, you were correct!

[unholyxvoid]

Do any other non/alterhumans just look at the mirror sometimes and be like:

"This ain't me..."

Or is it just me😭

relieving wing related dysphoria

something that I see many winged folks experience, including myself, is wing related dysphoria. more specifically, dysphoria relating to not being able to fly or not having wings physically. all my life this is a struggle I've dealt with, and I understand how painful it is. there are ways to relieve it though! here's some things that I've come up with and suggest to those who are struggling:

create mood boards, wallpapers, stim boards, and pinterest boards relating to the sky, your wings, theriotype, shifted form, etc

dive into media that has winged people/creatures (maximum ride, the maleficent movies, the croaking, just to name a few)

play games that let you fly, either with or without wings. bonus points if you're able to do it in VR (roblox, minecraft, feralheart, aer memories of old, superflight, fugl, etc)

practice lucid dreaming or astral projection

blankets!! especially weighted blankets, this can mimic the feeling of having wings

create or buy cosplay wings that look like your own (either typical cosplay wings worn with a harness/straps, or a backpack with wings, or a shawl in the shape of wings)

wear the colors of your wings, theriotype or shifted form

surround yourself with wing related themes or themes related to your theriotype or shifted form (buttons, pins, stickers, doodles, plushies, etc)

wear wing related accessories (rings, necklaces, hair pins, wings you can put on the laces of your shoes, etc)

if you're able to, get wings tattooed on your back or get a tattoo related to your theriotype or shifted form

if you're able to, participate in sky/air related sports or activities (skydiving, wingsuit flying, paragliding, hang gliding, etc)

draw/doodle your wings, theriotype or shifted form!!

meditate and visualize your wings. feel their weight, see their colors and textures, etc.

connect and talk to others who have wings if you need support and are looking for folks who have had similar experiences

carry around a backpack and make sure to give it some weight! having a backpack of a similar weight to my phantom wings tends to make my phantom wings go away, if you're looking to stop your phantom wings from existing for a bit for any reason

collect feathers that look like yours if you have feathered wings

connect with nature! this helps ground me and feel more connected to my natural self. I suggest going outside on a windy day or climbing trees.

stick your head/arms out of the car when you're going somewhere! this is one of my favorite things to do and it mimics what I imagine flying to feel like (pro tip, don't do this if you're driving)

make your room feel like the environment you belong in (using nature or wind ambient sounds, fans to get air flowing, that sort of thing)

watch flying POV videos

I'm sure there are more things that I could add, but I think that this is all my brain can think of at the moment. feel free to add onto the list if there's anything else that any of you want to add if I missed anything!

DO YOU GET WHAT I'M SAYING?!

[talon-dragonbeast]

a poll for the wing-havers

for me, my back has always felt much more sensitive than the rest of my body, to the point of feeling uncomfortable being touched there. sometimes when people touch my back i jump as a reflex, but not if they touch the rest of my body. i wanted to know if this is a common experience in wingedkin, so please answer the poll to satiate my neverending hunger for knowledge :}

[wingedevan]

something something how it feels to be a non - religious angelkin something something

[kalvanreaped]

Also regular stretching doesn't cut it, I need to stretch my wings.

[shapifizie]

Personally I’m a stuffed animal hoarder

[rabidf0x]

made this little moodboard based off my kintype

Also I'm bored so if anyone wants to request one I'd be happy to

[rareblackcat]

I feel my wings and they are soft and heavy. They warm up my body and surround me. They aren't completely there in the way my phantom limbs are usually there but the weight and warmth is. It's one sense causing another i think. Probably the warmth of my pajamas.

[corvidthedragon]

I miss being a dragon :(

don’t get me wrong, being a human and having so many opportunities because of that is great and all, but I just feel so wrong right now. I need to spread my wings and fly through the mountains, express my emotions and bare my teeth without feeling weird, curl up with my tail over my snout. I love my body but I yearn for more than just fragile skin and stiff joints. I need my horns, my wings, my talons back. anyways thanks critters on my phone for stopping by and reading this little rant 👍

[kaliga-magna]

Majestic Angel comes down into a room full of fragile ceramics and immediately accidentally breaks everything by spreading their wings

AESTHETICKIN

Where one is and/or identity very closely intertwined with things they find beautiful

This can be...

One's kin aesthetic is very engraved in their otherkin form

One may be fictionkin and kin the character's beauty or just appearance, mannerisms can be included

A close object you find very intriguing in appearance and weirdly find it relating (objectkin if you will)

A particular aesthetic which you feel is you or represents you in a way

But anyone can use this if they feel their experience matches the label, as long as you use it in good faith

Being otherkin is very complex so no judging!
