Hey Bill! What are your thoughts on otherkin? I'm specifically dragonkin. Can it be jarring encountering people who on the surface seem human but their soul is something completely unexpected?

Hey I've seen all kinds! I'm a flatlander triangle who ascended, then died, and is now living in the head of a human. I'd say your soul in a human body isn't so far-fetched, along with other flavors of being not-completely-human.

If you want to know if I've dealt with otherkin before, I can't remember very much. Recently I've seen fictionkin, but only in that they identify with a character as a concept or past life. I don't remember if I've tried to possess one.

The thing is though, I'd probably not notice. A lot of people don't remember their past lives, and if they do, their mental self is still human. And that's normally what I deal with in the mindscape and possession--how someone views themselves in their mind.

For any nonhumans struggling with species dysphoria, I want to help you all as much as I can. I've been experiencing it all week. It can be quite exhausting and put you in a lot of distress, in my case. X(

Here are some tips I'd recommend to help:

1. Mimic the diet of your kintype/theriotype. You are a shark? Eat seafood. A dragon? Maybe try to burn some food a little (or turn it black like my own preference if you want). You kin a character from [Insert source]? Try recreating foods/dishes from their world or dimension.

2. Listen to relatable music. I'd recommend making a playlist of any songs that feel species affirming/euphoric, or even echo that dysphoria further, therefore turning it relatable. (Few of my favorites are Bones by Imagine Dragons, Control by Halsey, Ancient Dreams in a Modern Land by MARINA, Momento Mori by Fish in a Birdcage, among other songs that feel therian coded to me).

3. Do vocals. Howling, barking, screeching, or roaring are very relieving if you are in the correct space to do them! If you are in a quite space or do not want to out yourself to anyone, try purring, growling, hissing, or other unnoticeable sounds. You have an object kintype? Mimic the sounds of the object, like beeping, clicking, etc. (I personally make microwave sounds just because it is fun). Recite voice lines of your kintype from the source they are in. Mimic their voice and volume to match.

4. Move and physically act like your kintype/theriotype. Quadrobics, mimic the flapping of wings, walk bidepedally, whatever you do, turn your mannerisms and motion to reflect your kintype/theriotype.

5. Dress like your kintype/theriotype. Is your kintype a character? Cosplay them, or mimic their clothing style, clothing color, hairstyle, etc. If they have tattoos, scars, or patterns on their body, copy them on your physical form with paint or pens. (PLEASE USE NON TOXIC MATERIALS. STUFF SAFE FOR YOUR HUMAN SKIN.) Are you a species of animal(s)? Dress in your species' colors, or, once again, paint or color yourself like it/them. Are you perhaps any other form of creature or object? You can use the same tips as the others, and another idea that works for all is that you can buy costume pieces of your kintype/theriotype. Masks, headbands, just normal clothing in general, the options really are infinite.

6. Express your dysphoria through artwork. I love doing art when I am heavily species dysphoric. Drawing, crafting masks, origami, painting, collages, all are forms of art. If you are skilled in music, then you could even create some songs of your own!

7. Go out and explore nature. This one is mainly targeted towards therians, whose types are grounded on the life on earth rather than other dimensions or universes, but just like the other methods, it can be universally used by any types of nonhumans. Collecting things is my favorite way of exploring nature. Collect rocks, shells, sticks, leaves, bugs, plants, anything that makes you feel more comfortable in your own (unfortunate) physical body. Stay grounded in the world around you and you may find the dysphoria slips away. Hiking and going on short walks can also help, building a den, smelling the scents of the outdoors. All great ideas that I personally recommend.

8. Write about your feelings. Whether you are good at expressing yourself through poetry, you keep a diary/journal, or you can project onto OCs for new backstory lore like I do, writing can truly help with any dysphoria. Not only that, but it is sometimes refreshing to come back later and read about what you were feeling before. It can serve as a great reminder that you are a powerful being and you will always overcome the feelings if you try.

9. Research about your kintype/theriotype. It does not matter if you are an animal, concept, or object from earth, a being from fantasy, or a character from the greatest book or show, you learn something new every day. So why not learn about yourself? Read books or watch animal documentaries of your theriotype(s), same thing for you otherkins and your fantasy species. Fictionkins can look up facts about themself as a character, their book, show, game, etc.

10. Talk and interact with other alterhumans/nonhumans. Remember, we are a community, and while you are experiencing horrible episodes of species dysphoria, there are many other beings going through the exact same thing at the exact same time. So why not talk to them about it? Share your experiences, help eachother cope, you may even connect with more individuals that way, building more relationships with others and meeting new beings.

11. Past life meditation. If you are a nonhuman who has a past life/lives, you may find comfort in meditation, where you can truly tap into what you once were, and still are in this life as well. Look to the forgotten, and turn in to remembered. Open up your past and live over again.

12. Listen to sounds. Nature sounds, voices of other characters you know from your world, vocals or sound effects of your kintype. These are all good options to turn to if you want to feel at ease with yourself.

13. Let your emotions out. Sometimes this is all you really need to do when species dysphoria hits hard. Cry, bite things, claw at pillows, LET IT OUT. There is absolutely no problem in being yourself and expressing your heavy emotions in your own, unique, nonhuman way. You may find you feel much better after.

That's all I've got, but I hope whoever/whatever reads this far has an amazing day/night. You are an amazing being, thank you for embracing yourself and living authentically. <3

Tips for therians at school! (not all of this works/applies with all therians and that is perfectly ok.)

Clip a tail on your backpack! I haven’t gotten any harassment for it and it looks like im wearing a tail in my shadow without actually wearing one.

Kintype inspired makeup, ex: brown eyeshadow and eyeliner with some little white dots for an otter therian.

Make kintype/otherkin patches! Ive done this and its so fun.

Have a sketchbook/journal and write/draw your kintypes and alterhuman experiences.

Customize your shoes to have little paws/claws/talons or whatever your kintype has.

Get some kintype stickers and put them on your binder/journals.

Gloves with some kintype patterns or features.

Thats just a few, feel free to add any!

I Am Not Your Dragon

Ramblings about vaguely how I came across my being a dragon, and about how I don't feel like I quite fit with the rest of the draconic community.

I am not your dragon Despite the fact that I refer to myself as a dragon, and despite the fact that draconic terms do bring me euphoria as far as referral and naming go, my visage is not a familiar one to those who consider themselves experts of dragonkind. I look far different, I act far different, I do not possess the same powers, and while we may share urges I know mine come from a different place. I do not truly feel like the dragons I grew up seeing on screen or reading about in books, so much so that I was entirely unable to actualize myself as dragonkin until I broke my self imposed shackles of restrictive definitions and began to ‘research’ myself. I thought I was a wolf for many years. From my awakening age 12 to age 18, I was under the impression that I was fully a grey wolf therian. At age 18 I begin to suspect that this connection may be incorrect, as while I was particularly fond of wolves, I did not actually feel like one. Though my feelings of nonhumanity were undeniable, I had to confront the fact that I was not a wolf. And so I did some soul searching, and adjusted my label. Perhaps I was another canine? I did feel vaguely doggish. Mountain Coyote, that must be it. This was not correct either. And over yet more years I cycled through several possible theriotypes, and each one eventually fell away as incorrect (barring leopard seal, of which I am truly sure I am one and have been for years). I decided, after this frustration and still feeling like I was missing something, to start from square one. All dropped theriotypes had a sense of naturalism about them that differed from my own, and yet I still experienced feeling that grounded, ‘real animal’ feeling as opposed to the more fantastical sensations described by some of my theriomythic and otherkin peers. I did, however, finally discover those alterhumans out there who had the same feeling of being grounded in some sort of earth-esque animal biology without actually being an animal from earth at all, and that sent me down my path of discovery towards labeling myself dragonkin. I took extensive notes on what I felt my biology to be, what I remembered, what I longed for it to be. I took notes on the hearthhome that resonated in my memories and my dreams, my instincts, my behavioral shifts, and how I perceived myself. This is how I was able to draw myself recently, and this is how I was able to fully document exactly what I was. Except I couldn’t. Because nothing about me matched up with any existing kintype I could find. My designation as ‘Dragon’ was brought about via necessity of having others understand, as well as my personal resonance with the term. I do believe that if a human were to witness me as I’m meant to be, they’d classify me as such, but perhaps with a little hesitation. The reason I do not shirk the label in an attempt to create my own from my own language is because I do still think it fits, I just believe the outside listener needs to be open to accepting different looks of creature under the vast label of ‘dragon’. When other dragons say they miss breathing fire, talk about their scales and horns, describe their membranous wings, I feel like an outcast. I’m covered in fur and feathers, I’m not particularly agile on the ground, I have no breath weapon, no scales, no horns. I’m semi-aquatic, my blood is blue, my teeth are beakish and my eyes hold my power. And yet, I’m a dragon. Because I say I am. And because I feel like one. I talk of designations being brought about as necessity but in reality I’ve found that the label of dragon really does resonate with me far more than anticipated. Perhaps it was brought about by necessity, but it’s correct. I am a dragon, but I am not your dragon.

[flinnir]

is it weird to get species dysphoria from incorrectly or stylistically drawing your kintype? idk i feel pretty isolated about it.

my art style does not cater to the way my dragonself looks, and it makes me so uncomfortable and makes me want to completely quit drawing entirely. nothing i draw feels like me enough.

the dysphoria is also gender related btw. every time i draw my dragonself i keep thinking i look feminine for some reason and that makes me more dysphoric.

I need therians who own guns to make satire posts about hunting the people who make those videos / comments about us. It would A) make them realize how corny they are and B) be hella cool like. Animal with a gun. Hell yeah!

Or. Hey artists. Draw your kintypes holding the gun that could have the same effect..

[marrmora]

STIMMING

“I’m so weird, I stim over just hearing about my favorite character/kin type :(“

I flap my hands just hearing or seeing people talk about my kintypes.

I use vocal stims whenever my kintype speaks, or if the speaker talks about my kintype.

I copy how my kintypes walk and talk to ease my dysphoria.

I stim over just drawing my own kintypes, like Lance or Keith.

I flapped my hands, jumped around and just got so excited whenever @niyogreatandsmall answered the Keith and Lance ask (that was me).

I stim anytime I see drawings or theories of my kintypes.

I stim whenever I read stories of my kintypes, getting all excited just by imagining things.

Stimming is a way to express yourself! It’s okay if you stim, get all excited, or more over seeing stuff about your kintype or favorite character. It’s not weird, I promise you.

🥂
