Yes! I identified as an elf and don't anymore but it was still important to me (my anteatype). I have also decided to try the label constelic, because so many of my identities are fluid.
I just spent 6,5 years in the community trying to settle, but maybe that just isn't part of my personal experience.
Personally, I find the community need for consistency to be a detriment to my overall experiences. "Kintypes are permanent" Well buddy I think these feelings can stick around forever, but shit happens and one day you may realize you're not a dinosaur (what happened to me) and end up switching labels a whole ton. And even if you find a label now that fits, you might end up changing it again in a year and that's totally valid!
So let's ditch the narrative that you need to find your forever kintype and start embracing being /wrong/. Let's show others it's ok to question yourself every couple of years, to take breaks, to leave the community for a bit and be able to come back without judgement. The pressure to "settle" basically is just so tiring. That's how you get onto the fast track of identity burnout.

You gotta hold my hand while you're rearranging my guts. It's the polite thing to do.

My fellow fanfic authors, I'm begging on my hands and knees – and Ima hold your hand as I say this – you gotta respond to the readers that leave comments on your work.
I know social anxiety is the worst (trust, my autistic ass understands) but I promise you, nothing deters a reader from commenting more than seeing a comment section with no replies as you continue to post fanfics. Even if it's as simple as "thanks for reading!" or just some cute emojis, it'll show that you're actually engaging with your audience!
We work so hard on our writing, and those of us that post them online want it to be seen, right? Indulging in our little fandoms is how we build connections with people that feel the same way.
It might be hard or even scary, but I find the more you socialize with others (especially in a more controlled environment like a comment section), the easier it gets! 💕

I really relate to this idea of mew as an archetype, I think these things that mew resembles are the reason why I have tried to link mew.
Sorry, very vague thoughts as I am sick and a bit of a mess today.
The Dream Dragon Myth
Cross-posted from my dreamwidth, link in the title.
When others talk about resonating with films and media, there's often a divide between wilderness/nature vs city/industrial. Often nature is where the hearts lie for more feral inclined or beast-aligned folks. Dragons are usually among this group that are drawn to nature.
Through the breadcrumbs I've left myself, I can confidently say where my resonance lies in the media genre--folklore and fairytales. This also circles me back to my initial hesitance with the term folcintera. At first glance, I was unsure if it applied to me, merely seeing myself as a generic mythkind, simply a dragon.
However, after having terms to define my experience of having a kardiatype that is divinity-made-by-human and an archetype which is Mew that is a being that is mythical, little-l legendary, whimsical, mysterious, a bit mischievous and chaotic, as well as fluid, abstract both as a concept and as a creature--it all coincidentally aligns with me being a creature of dreams, chaos, vacillant in my shape, but definite in my draconity.
This realization of the self, myself, that is defined by my very own personal myth and folklore did not come from a singular instance of learning of the term folcintera, or interacting with media that are tied to fairytales or mythologies. This took time, and a certain level of self-acceptance, along with the unintended nudges from the communities around me via the discussion of alterhumanity.
I have contemplated that my otherkinity has some degree of voluntarity within. I as a species never quite make sense, even as a dragon, which tends to be from a conglomeration of other creatures. When I first had an idea of my appearance, it happened while I was within a draconic (and furry) community. I'd mentioned before that orange is as much a part of me as my draconity is. But what of all the other features that define me? From the bits I could recall of that community, the dragons are more typical of the scaled lizards with webbed wings, many have breath weapons of some sort. I remember a blue anthro dragon with military and firearm tied to the lore of their dragonsona.
Was it my desire to be different than the mainstream?
But looking back at my old drawings, most, if not all are decidedly random in their features. They'd either be some sort of snake with lots of extra, or hexapod being with claws for limbs and a pair of wings of various sorts, sometimes more, or avians with wings and legs combination, or they'd be piscine. Perhaps because of the media I grew up with, the draconic creatures are varied in their features, or perhaps due to my cultural upbringing.
I came from a background that has Buddhism, Taoism, some local folklore, and maybe Shinto or Shinto-influenced beliefs, and others that I cannot define. I grew up with my nonhumanity. I experience my life from my teens onward with the knowledge of my past life of being a dragon. I learn from a culture that acknowledges dragons as mythical and reality, and stories of dragons capable of shapeshifting, of controlling wind and rain. I read mythologies about dragons from many cultures of this world and their diversity.
When I had a complete image of myself, I was round, circular in shape, bright in colors, and dominated by orange so vibrant, you'd only possibly find it in birds, the fur of beasts, and wings of fowl. I also had a pet-like quadrupedal form, a form that is typically seen as an "eastern" dragon, and a form that is typically seen as a "western" dragon. There's not quite a point in mentioning the anthro shape, as I still do not think that is a form in itself.
There was not much separation between human vs nonhuman. I am nonhuman through and through.
As a whole, what is made up of me, my sense of self, the essence of my identity, is an amalgamation of all my experiences and knowledge, both intrinsic and potentially influenced by my surroundings. I am a dragon, it is the simple, unshakable truth. The how I am as a dragon is far more complex, it speaks of my story, my personal mythology.

Had a naughty thought for NC, so I logged on tumblr to share (not sure I'll include this in the fic but-)

You know how Dulzura and Miguel spend a lot of time in the kitchen? How Miguel especially LOVES cooking for us and when he wants to do it himself, he politely declines the help, so we just sit by, watch, and talk with him while he cooks?
And, remember how Dulzura has regular periods? Ok... you know that one phase of the menstrual cycle that has you feeling
✨️🎀things🎀✨️?
And, then, this song...
Do you see the 'vision'?
😀...😌...🤭...😩...🤰
