#cryptidkin tips

[monsterkin-culture-is]

Cryptidkin tips/help? A lot of the stuff I can find that helps me is long term [like quadrobics, which I'm not able to practice much to get good at] or very niche [going on anon on other blogs so that I'm hard to identify]

- @buggiest-cryptid [actual sideblog asks should be a thing]

Heya!! Sorry for the delayed response!! I'll start with my generic tips and then try and think of some more specific advice for your situation. Also dw I'm hopeless at quadrobics haha! And yes I NEED sideblog asks. My general do-it-at-home kin tips I give on all of these are: - Create a playlist. This can be songs with the same aesthetic/vibe as your kintype, songs that trigger kinshifts or literally just a bunch of songs you like to listen to a lot! - Create a moodboard for your kin! A 3x3 tumblr style square is ideal because you can use it as the cover for your kin playlist on spotify. Honestly just typing in your kintype and then aesthetic into Google will find images but I mostly recommend Pinterest if you don't already use it. - Make a Kinsona/OC of your kin species. This is mostly just for fun but roleplaying as that character can help you connect to your kintype. - Go on hikes and explore nature! Even if your kintype isn't from your local wildlife, it's still a good way to relax. - Wear clothing the same colour as your kintype. Knitwear is great for replicating fur. - Design a kin pride flag! There are many umbrella flags already existing but make your own! It can just be for personal use. I recommend using Photopea or Canva.

Cryptidkin Specific Tips:

Pick your cryptid name: Every cryptid has a name: the jersey devil, bigfoot, mothman etc. Make your own for your kintype! Honestly I think I'm actually going to do this now, I always like the "titles" that come in ID packs.

DIY Gear: I'm basing this off of the pfp on your linked account! Antennae can be created using pipecleaners and then attached to your hair using hairclips or by gluing to a hairband. Horns can be attached the same way and created using tinfoil and then taped over to smooth the shape (ideally masking tape so you can paint them!). Scarves are perfect to replicate ruffles of fur & fingerless gloves make good paws (your fingertips can look like claws). These should be a little easier to obtain given we're coming into winter. Arm & leg warmers are also recommended. I actually have 2 pairs of paw print fingerless gloves! I saw you're bug themed so an alternative to an exoskeleton could be leather jackets? I'm not as sure about that though!

Watch Ghosthunting & Cryptid Conspiracy Vids: They're just fun tbh! I like watching shows and videos surrounding my kintypes to connect & they often trigger positive kinshifts.

Themed Foods: Gummy snakes can pass as worms or... well... snakes. Good potential alternatives to raw meat can be jerky, dried fruits, rare/medium rare steaks and safe raw fish! I also recommend red tongue-staining lollipops and red/pink chocolate for the idea of blood. Please don't take these at face value though - research before eating anything!

Get involved in the voidpunk community: This is partially a general kin tip but it especially applies to monsterkins & cryptidkins. The voidpunk community really embrace the idea of alterhumanity and many create voidsonas to represent their inner-selves. I'm not the best person to explain it but I recommend taking a look through the tags!

Sorry, this is all I can think of for now! I hope some of these are helpful!

About me

Welcome to my nonhuman space! You can call me Randi. I've been awakened and in the community for about a year now (yippee!!). I'm a cladotherian (lagomorphs) but specifically identify with hares, I'm also a deitykin for abrahamic angels! I considered a black jaguar/panther as a theriotype for awhile, I'm still thinking on that one.

Slightly more about me here

Fun facts below cut

Age: 17

Pronouns: they/it

I'm an INFP, a cancer, and I have green eyes

I enjoy art of all kinds, I do performance arts and I draw. I admire musical talent greatly. I'm very fond of baking and cooking for myself and those around me. I'm a (very baby) hellenic pagan. I love typing quirks, its like a treat for my eyes. I love songs that make no sense and songs that tell stories. I like having plants and animals to tend to. I love spring and summertime, it makes me feel very alive. My favorite scent is sweet pea, I also like citrus and anything bready. I like knowing things, everything, gossip, trivia, anything but math really. I only don't like math because I don't know how to read it.

I was raised in a very sheltered christian household. Social media keeps me in the loop pretty well but other than that I'm not very involved with most people in my peer group. This isn't a pity brag but it did shape how I see myself and my nonhumanity. I've been treated like an animal, I've been treated like I'm not really there, I feel like I don't quite belong with people but I'm allowed to stay and play pretend for awhile.

I don't have many DNI criteria just don't hate too loud. As long as you aren't hurting me or anything else, feel free to do you. I don't feel the need to go in depth here because anyone who wants to be rude won't read this anyway.

I’m cryptidkin. I know what type of cryptid I am. But I don’t know what it’s called. I want to say w*ndigo but it isn’t and I know that. (As a w*ndigo is a spirit, not a cryptid. And isn’t something to be spoken of lightly) Like- very close in terms of MAYBE appearance. But that’s it. it isn’t a w*ndigo. More likely not-deer ish? I don’t know- closest kind of thing I’ve found is a Deer Man but that’s not right either. Like- I’ll just describe it: patchy dark fur, super tall (prob about 8/9 feet tall), long ground dragging wolf-like tail, looks like its starving with bones visible through its fur including ribs and spine, five fingered long ass claws, elk/deer skull for a head with no eyes just empty black sockets and white glowing pupils, the antlers and skull are slightly brown-ish cuz it’s old as fuck and the prong tips are black like dipped in ink. The kind of being to stare at you from behind trees or just out of reach of camp fire light, it’d probably walk on two legs, maybe four once in a while, and could probably distort its body in some way. Both top and bottom jaw, could probably unhinge and just be like a black void or something down its throat. Fangs, not blunt herbivore teeth, but actual like wolf fangs. Could someone help me figure out what fucking creature this is????

NAVIGATION › KINTYPES

♱ my nonhuman identity is extremely messy and intertwined. I am still navigating the community itself and trying to understand myself better to be able to articulate my experience. I am shapeshifterkinfluid.

★ = main types | ○ = questioning

★ demonkin ★ fallenangelkin ★ caninekin

★ synpath ○ cryptidkin ○ felinekin

note: I do not consider myself to be therian despite being caninekin because it’s not a terrestrial dog, it’s merely a favored form I often shift to. Specifically, I black haired german shepherd. (Same goes for felinekin)

PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES + PHANTOM SHIFTS

I do not experience phantom shifts very often but I do experience mental shifts frequently. That being said, I almost always see or perceive myself as having nonhuman physical characteristics. All of my kintypes are connected in some way, one of the ways is is that they all share certain physical features such as: green eyes, white strands of hair, pointed ears, fangs. i sometimes have a human body with fluffy black dog-like ears on the top of my head (think alastor from hazbin hotel). Im not sure what kin this is coming from, it may be connected to being a demon but who fucking knows atp.

NON-TERRESTRIAL CANINEKIN

FALLENANGELKIN + DEMONKIN

note: my claws only exist during demon phantom shifts. I also have a demon ‘heart’ speared tail that matches my flesh color.

i don’t have a photo that accurately portrays my wings so here’s a description: they are approximately 5 feet in diameter. dusty lightly spotted white fading down the tips which are black. they are slightly burned in areas and broken and battered everywhere else. I wouldn’t trust them to hold my weight as there are gaps of missing feathers.

SHAPESHIFTING

the way i experience being a shapeshifter is a. saying I ‘shift’ between my kintypes feels right to me because while they are all connected they all have different appearances and mental shifts that come with them. and b. along with my more talked about kintypes i also frequently identify with and as fictional characters and both fictional/real animals at seemingly random times but they are very strong. (aka being otherkith)

note: if i am misusing any terminology or you have any questions/comments/recommendations feel free to reach out!

SYNPATH/OTHERHEARTED

— Crowley (good omens)

I can’t quite tell if I identify with or as Crowley but there is definitely a connection. I believe them to be a kin or kith because their relationship with religion and how they view themselves being a demon/fallen angel is almost exactly the same as I do.

Hey do you have any tips for a shapeshifter/crypidkin? Thanks

Shapeshifterkin/cryptidkin tips!

get lots of different ears, horns, tails, wings, fangs, claws, masks, antenna, hooves, and pretty much any other gear! switch it up lots when your cryptid appearance changes!

learn about how contouring with makeup can change your face, and have fun with it!

listen to different playlists that “feel” more like different forms of yours

practice many different kinds of vocals, and mimic many different creatures your cryptidforms look like!

find different styles and ways of dressing that mimic some of your shifted forms!

learn about any cryptids that are rumoured to live in your area!

decorate your living space to reflect any kind of den or lair you had!

use different themed pronouns for different cryptid forms!

give yourself some kind of cryptid name! (they usually use a location and monstrous title, but can also be a descriptive name! examples include the jersey devil, loch ness monster, and moth man!)

draw your kintype appearance(s) in a sort of sketchy, creepy, vague “cryptid” or “found footage” style!

get/make cryptid themed clothes and jewellery!

collect or make cryptid themed books, trinkets, art, and decor!

begin a little collection of strange things you find in nature, from bones to fangs to bugs or cool rocks, feathers, pressed flowers, snakeskins, etc! (please be safe and make sure you sanitize/take care of everything!)

enjoy! -mono

cryptidkin tips:

ways to ease species dysphoria:

- if you like staying up late, sleeping under or howling at the moon can make you feel like nocturnal monster

- dark, earthy colours help you blend in with dark forests and woodlands

!but make sure you were neon colours if you are roaming in shooting areas to be visible to hunters!

- big glasses, face masks or hats hide your human features and make you look more mysterious

- using gear from multiple species (e.g deer antlers, wolf tails, cat paws) can create the feeling of chaotic monstrosity

- contact lenses and makeup can transform your face into your true species, especially special effects

kintype euphoria-

- hang out in your habitat in gear if you can

- conduct research on your kintype���s history and mythology

- find others of your kin online and make friends

- make pinterest boards for your kintype

- listen to scary stories or theories about your kintype

- draw your theriotype or create picrews close to it

^^ tw: gore, blood, body horror, violence

Help for cryptids trying to find themselves:

No cryptid, wether you are as famous as ‘Bigfoot’ or as obscure as a creature only elders in small towns speak of in whispers, is not worthy to be treated as the creature of the night they are in their heart. Stay strong my darling, finding yourself is hard but accepting you as your true self is easier than figuring out who you are. And I love you if you know who you are or not. Stay safe my love and keep on scaring locals, spooking newspapers, shocking podcasts and inspiring fellow kin of the dark woods.

HI UH. IM THE OP OF THE CLAWS POST. WHAT IF I TOLD YOU THEYRE SUPER EASY & CHEAP TO MAKE. (Sorry I saw your tags and was like. Hmm >:))

Basically all you need is a hot glue gun/glue sticks, a smooth glass/stone surface (basically something you can peel the glue off of), a glove of some kind, preferably elbow length. you can use inexpensive ones from any kind of costume store (mine were from when I worked at spirit).

Basically all you gotta do it like. Design what you want the claws to be shaped like, and then use the glue to essentially make two “halves” of the claw, if that makes sense. You can use. A finger dipped in water to very carefully smooth/shape as desired. You affix the two halves of the claw together around the tip of the finger w more glue (although you’d use something like a pen to hold the finger of the glove out instead of your hand bc you may get burned if you’re gluin it directly to your finger)

You can use the hot tip of the gun to clean up the seams on the claw, you’d add a little more glue to the finger area or the glove around where you attached the claw. Wait for it to cool just enough so you won’t burn yourself. Then put your hand in the glove all the way and shape the pliable glue around your fingertip so your claws won’t slip off your fingertips when you’re doin things and gesturing dramatically!

^ (here’s the worlds worst diagram but I hope it makes some sense </3)

HOLY SHIT THANK YOU SO MUCH DUDE THAT'S SO RAD I'M GONNA DO THIS

*cries in cryptidkin*

[starscatteredsky]
