never really thought about it but saw that post now im curious. how does being otherkin work (at least in your opinion) ?

thats actually a great question, and not one that is answered concisely or easily.

how us nonhumans feel about our nonhumanity differs wildly from person to person (or creature to creature, i guess). my experiences are not universal. i just felt that i should point that out before going into this.

to me at least, being otherkin is a feeling of being other. of knowing that this form, this body, this species, is not yours. i guess.

the problem that ive been having with trying to answer this is that i feel a bit detached from the otherkin label despite using it because ny nonhumanity is... complex, to say the least.

so the main thing that pushed me towards initially identifying as nonhuman was my own perception of myself. almost everytime i would try to daydream i would inevitably conjure up a self-insert character that is very much nonhuman. and it felt so much like... me, i guess.

for me right now, id say that one of the biggest factors in my nonhumanity is this massive feeling of species dysphoria, as well as not feeling like i belong in this body. its almost unbearable, given how often it occurs. even small things like taking a shower or getting ready in the morning can sometimes trigger it. and if im being honest, if i didnt have my earbuds and my playlist, i dont think i could make it through the day.

i also do get phantom limb sensations. basically, theyre sensations from body parts that dont exist. i most commonly get these in the form of phantom wings. sometimes ill just be sitting there and i can suddenly feel them open and stretch and i have to lean forward in order to not be uncomfortable from being compressed against the chair. other times ill be talking to people and try to gesture with my wings only to realize multiple seconds later that they're not there.

i also do get other kinds of phantom limbs, but they come far less often and are usually relatively tame.

i also get the instincts to do creature things sometimes. like in bed ill try to curl up into a ball only to remember i cant do that. or sometimes ill just get an incredibly strong urge to bite something or someone. or i feel like i all of a sudden need to become one with the shadows or just be on the ceiling or just be formless.

its noting that all of this is really tricky to talk about since its not something that can be put into words easily.

so i guess what im trying to say, if im saying anything at all, is that im otherkin and nonhuman because i just feel and act other, i guess. i just dont think of myself as being human.

theres also a lot of stuff that i havent mentioned such as being homesick or belief, however this is long enough as it is and my attempts to explain this have resulted in 14k+ words and no end in sight.

so yeah. its complicated, i guess

yeah i've seen these in the garden store before, maybe it has something to do with the lore of them being mischievous/irreverent? 🤔 it's funny regardless 😂

we quickly swarm the bag and grab for it creating a cartoonish cloud of dust with sparks flying out and indistinguishable yelling and when the dust clears

we’re sitting in a circle eating the gummies calmly and talking about our interests and laughing together :3
