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

Change and Loss

Word count: 1362

Expected reading time: 10-11 minutes

"If your otherkinity still serves you, it will never really leave you," is what I used to say - more as a reassurance than a statement of fact. I mean, how could I know for a fact that it was true? I didn't have any experience with losing a kintype. I still don't think I do; not really. And I always saw the idea repeated in the community - one time otherkind, always otherkind.

But I don't believe that's true anymore. I'm still a bison for sure. I've never doubted that. I'm still Ɐwhrayɐ the gnoll and I'm still Ben the shapeshifter… but I'm beginning to accept that those sides of me have changed.

"One time otherkin, always otherkin. If your otherkinity still serves you, it will never really leave you"… but what if that's not true? What if you still benefit from your kintypes, and they disappear regardless? What do you do if you lose a part of yourself, or if a part of yourself becomes unrecognizable to you? How do you keep living when you've lost yourself?

Sometime in 2023 the distress of always having to hide my true self became too much to bear alone. But I'm not a brave person. I think the better solution would've been to just bite the bullet and start expressing myself, but hindsight is 20/20. I've survived 25 years by hiding everything that makes me 'weird', and the idea of leaving my one dependable survival strategy behind was (is) terrifying. I went to a free self-help seminar ("Take control of your life!") but all it taught me is that I need a dependable support network before I can take control of my life. I went to my doctor to try and get a referral for a therapist (it's cheaper than just finding your own therapist). Instead he sent me to a psychiatrist for my 'delusions'. The psychiatrist told me my experiences, worldview, and self-perception were unusual but not harmful - they could only help if my goal was to get rid of my schizotypal traits (traits that weren't even significant enough to warrant a diagnosis). If all I wanted was to learn how to conquer my fears and express my true self, they couldn't help. It took months of visits to get the diagnosis: Traumatized by peer abuse, too poor to afford my own therapy, and too anxious and ADHD to even find a therapist in the first place.

I can't even say I was left at square one. I had started out hopeful. Nearing the end of 2023, I just felt helpless.

At the same time, my studies were drawing to a close. I completed my bachelor's degree in animal science and all it took was a diagnosis of ADHD so I could legally buy amphetamines, a compound-diagnosis of autism so I wouldn't get kicked out when I inevitably misunderstood exam questions and failed final after final, and 5½ years - almost twice the expected time for a bachelor's degree in my country.

It should've been freeing but instead it left me directionless. Helpless and directionless - that's how I entered 2024!

In the past, in the strictly structured day-to-day of school, my kintypes have been a source of comfort. Especially my Ben fictotype, which probably fell into the category of coping mechanism. I awakened in a time of intense stress and retreated to that world whenever my present life got too much. When crowds got me overstimulated or I missed an important deadline or fought with my neighbors or drifted apart from old friends, I thought about all the times Ben!me had gone through similar or worse. I cut off a friend in my present life after finding out he'd abused his ex - but in my other life I'd cut off a friend who tried to murder me, and things still turned out fine. I lived through it. I could live through it again. Every situation had a parallel in my other life.

I still don't know why that method failed me, but eventually it did. It's not that it didn't work, it was more that I suddenly had to put an effort into making it work. As if I'd always been able to enter Narnia and now suddenly I had to personally petition Aslan to let me back in. It started in the fall of 2023 but it wasn't until spring 2024 that I fully realized. Coping had never been an effort before, and the worst part is, I don't even know why it suddenly was.

My fictotype was drifting away, even when it still served me! This wasn't supposed to happen! Had I been lied to?!

I think our community has a lot of survivorship bias. Whichever mailing lists and newsgroups get archived, and whatever snailmail gets published, that's what our history is based on. The people who made archivable geocities sites get to write our story - not the people on closed forums or in private chat groups. People who leave the community don't tend to leave behind pristine essays on their fully archived websites explaining why they left. It does happen, don't get me wrong, but it's rare. And when they do leave behind messages, it's usually some variant of "I still love the community that fostered my awakening, I'm just an adult with responsibilities now and I don't have time for this."

But what about the people who don't love the community? Who 'unawakened'? Who aren't passionate enough to leave behind a final message? Do we ever hear from the otherkind who 'fizzled out' and became human - or at least lost a kintype?

You can understand my panic, right? I considered turning my fictotype into a copinglink, but my ADHD is so debilitating I barely remember to brush my teeth - no way I was gonna remember to do daily reinforcement exercises. Especially frazzled 2024 me (still frazzled as of June but I'm hanging in there!).

I was forced to accept whatever my come.

I'm still Ben, on some level, but I won't say "I'm thankfully still Ben," 'cause is it really that bad to not be Ben? Even if that facet had served me well and could still serve me? $1,000,000 could serve me well, but uselessly pining after it doesn't serve me.

I didn't prepare myself for loss because I really wasn't sure I was gonna lose a part of me - and, in any case, grieving preemptively is a waste of energy if you ask me. Instead a turned to the Bison - not my own bison theriotype, but the archetype of the Bison. When one woowoo solution fails, why not try another?

The Bison has always been a good teacher to me - better than any self-help seminar or psychiatrist. The Bison takes everything in stride. The Bison survives until it can thrive. The Bison ruminates on the present, it doesn't ponder the future. The Bison doesn't grieve or fret unnecessarily. It exists in the now. I exist in the now.

Of course, the chance that anyone reading this works with the Bison spirit is slim, but I think its teachings can help everyone - regardless of spirituality.

When turning to other worlds doesn't aid you, accept it, and turn to the present world. Let your worries pass through you, you can't see clearly when you're pent up with worry. You can't prevent the seasons from turning, all you can do is turn with them. Accept your lack of control, instead of trying to grasp at the uncontrollable. Sometimes change is unexpected, and you may not like it, and it might not even open up new doors for you. Not all change is good. But you cannot prevent every unwanted change, and you have to keep living regardless.

My fictionkinity doesn't have the intensity of my first few years post-awakening, but it also doesn't have the casual reassuredness of decade-old kintypes. It comes and goes, and when it comes it's like a whisper. And one day it might become too quiet for me to notice. One day it might not return.

But I think I can live with that.

N Harmonia with a weredragon s/o headcanons

•••

Extremely self indulgent set of headcanons that probably no one but me relates to. This is gonna be for a Noivern-shifter reader specifically (because… that one’s the closest to how my kintype looks) but. you can picture it as a different dragon if you like

Warnings: None!

-He kinda starts to suspect something’s off pretty soon after he meets you. He’s perceptive like that.

-The way you seem to complain about your back hurting and scratch at it a lot (your wings wanting to come out)

-How you eat kinda messily, and mostly gravitate towards meat.

-Your sharper looking eyes, teeth, and nails

-How your hearing and smell seems more sensitive than most

-He doesn’t prod you about it though. He just thinks you have interesting quirks! If anything, he kind of likes it. You remind him of a Pokemon. (Except for whenever you’re having back pains, he worries when that happens.)

-Surprise bitch you are one

-When you first transform in front of him, it’s likely to protect him from an aggressive Pokemon he can’t manage to calm down himself.

-Once the threat is handled and you shift back, you freak out. You’re terrified he sees you as a monster now.

-Of course, he doesn’t, he’s just had his mind blown is all. He wasn’t even aware something like you existed.

-Before he can stop you though, you dart away into the woods to hide.

-He quickly starts searching for you, asking his Pokemon friends to help him look.

-When he finds you, you’re still in your dragon form, curled up under your wings and crying inside a cave. His heart breaks when he sees this.

-He makes his way inside and places a gentle hand on your wing, and starts speaking softly to you.

“Oh Y/N, you didn’t think I would hate you for this, did you?”

“It’s okay. I don’t think you’re a monster. If anything, I think it’s marvelous. I still want to be your friend.”

-You lift your wing to look at him, and he moves his hand up to stroke your head softly. You can’t help but press your head to his chest and cry in relief, letting him hug you as you slowly change back into a human.

-When you’ve realized you have feelings for him, you try to impress him by bringing him shiny things and doing fancy display dances with your wings.

(like this)

-He thinks it’s sweet, but doesn’t understand the gesture right away. (And his Zoroark thinks your dancing looks ridiculous.)

-You try more human approaches. Asking him on dates, giving him flowers- it still goes over his head. Arceus help you both.

-To your embarrassment it takes a blatant, fully worded confession from you while riding the Ferris Wheel with him for it to finally sink in.

-Things go uphill from there though! He likes you back and you two become official

-Of course, the dragon shenanigans don’t stop there

-You like to hang out in a sort of half-dragon half-human form a lot and he really likes this, because this way you can wrap your arms and tail around him and you’re still small enough to to lay in bed.

-He LOVES burying his face in your neck fur. It’s so warm and soft

-Sometimes you’ll hang upside down from a tree or something while holding him securely in your wings. Surprisingly, he’s pretty okay with this. He trusts you not to drop him

-You’ll carry him around on your back a lot too

-And sometimes pick him up by the back of his shirt (especially when he’s refusing to get enough sleep)

-You might’ve accidentally bitten him a few times. Not enough to draw blood or anything, just play bites for when you wanted his attention and couldn’t help yourself. He gets bitten by his own Pokémon all the time for the same reason so it didn’t bother him that bad, but you try to restrain yourself more

-Your ears are pretty sensitive, so he’ll get you special headphones for you to put on when you’re in loud or crowded places!

-He’ll also rub your back and shoulders when your wings are aching, and help you brush your fur too if you’d like

-In return you like to preen and groom his hair. Again, something his Pokemon do to him pretty frequently, so he doesn’t mind

-He finds out you can purr and while it’s a little embarrassing to you, he loves it. The sound is relaxing and helps him fall asleep when you’re cuddling

-If you’re having a day where you just don’t want to words, that’s fine. You can speak in dragon noises and he’ll still understand you

-Honestly he’s a wonderful partner to have, Pokémon or human form he still treats you like a person. He can also relate a lot to the feeling of being an outcast to society

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..

[unetherian]

Hi! I like your art a lot, could you draw a snow leopard please?

Hi!

I think this is the best digital art I've done ✨

I loved making this drawing!

[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.

FOR ALL MY ALTERHUMANS!!

Okok so, hear me out, what if for our main OC(persona ig?) we make it so they have the power to gain a feature of one of your theriotypes, or kintypes. Like one minute they could have...let's say, a wolf tail and ears, maybe even fangs if you wanted, and then they could change to like......bird wings, or they could have a whale tail. I don't know, I just thought it seemed cool. Imma draw my persona like this and I'll show you what I mean when I'm done.

[seerschaos]
