As a dragon, matriarchy feels natural and logical to me. Patriarchy seems bizarre and alien. Why should the sex associated with anger, outbursts, aggression, decreased emotional intelligence, and decreased communication skills be in charge of every?

guys im not misandrist im just hyenamaxxing okay? im just matriarchpilled

As a reptilian alien, I hate the trope of entire races or species being evil. As a scaly, slithery, reptilian thing, I should get to see myself represented as the hero, or at least as a neutral citizen worthy of basic empathy, just like anyone else. Just because most humans would find me creepy and repulsive without my human mask doesn’t mean I deserve to be seen that way.

Does anyone else who is otherkin find human faces super alien and uncanny looking? Legit they almost kind of creep me out.

I know some dragon kin really lean into the theme of hoarding treasure, subjugating cities, and generally spreading suffering. Personally, I consider it a hurtful stereotype and absolutely hate it. You are thinking of royalty, rich people, and government officials, not giant flying lizards with elemental powers.

As a spiritual dragon kin, being a dragon isn’t a past life thing. I’m still a dragon. My soul/higher self always was and always will be a dragon. There is absolutely nothing past tense about it. I remain alive and well as a dragon in the dragon realm, even as I live this human life on earth. To think of that version of me as a past self who has died would make me incredibly sad. More so than the death of my human body.

hate it when alterhumans assume “spiritual therian” automatically means “had past lives”

there are other kinds of spirituality!! you can be spiritual and not believe in past lives, or not believe you had one! your spirituality is YOUR spirituality and you can define it however you want. if being a spiritual therian is a label that you believe suits you, then it’s your label.

Me, a dragon watching Ninjago: “Yeah! Die dragon hunters!”

I finally have a dream about being a dragon and the plot is that I’m rushing to the toilet at Walmart because I’m having a dragon poop emergency? Are you kidding me?

Alterhumanity and Sexuality

Otherkin question here. Is there a discrepancy between your sexual orientation as a human versus your kintype? I don't have any real interest in human men, pretty much exclusively sticking to women, but when it comes to male dragons, I seem to very much be boy crazy. It feels like my human self is lesbian, but my dragon self is something very different. I don't know why.

I once pooped my pants in class in elementary school because I was so afraid of getting in trouble for going to the bathroom. I wasn’t even offered a change of pants. My mom called the school and gave them hell.

my sister's coworker got called into her son's elementary school because the kid had asked to go to the bathroom, the teacher told him no and to wait until next break, so he went to pee in the classroom dustbin. i hope she gave them the full karen and the teachers went crying to reddit about unmanageable parents because wtf is this really? why does seemingly every school have at least a few teachers obsessed with lording over the kids through bathroom break micromanagement? it doesn't even matter. at work or even in college you just go piss, no one cares. fuckin weirdos

I know it’s taboo to compare being trans to being otherkin, but truly they are two parts of my experience I can’t separate. They come with so much of the same pain. Having to hide my true self, being seen as a freak by the outside world, never feeling quite right in my body. I’ve never been a woman trapped in a man’s body. I am a female dragon trapped in a male human body.

As a scalie, I have decided that since y’all furries keep putting fur on absolutely everything, I’m going to start adding scales to random mammals. Enjoy my scaly reptile puppy.

As I have come into deeper union with my true/spirit self as an ice dragon, I have found myself more and more resilient to the cold. It's actually been kind of nice considering the recent blizzard. Anyone else have similar experiences?

I'm a light element dragonkin - "Stepping Stars" by David Arkenstone, "Be Comfortable, Creature" by Explosions in the sky, any song by April Rain

So much new age and post rock! It really gives me that untethered feeling of floating through the stars.

had a fun idea, rb/comment/tag this with what you ID as and what songs/bands give you species euphoria

i'll start: (were)wolfkin - fangs by the lycan bite, howl by florence + the machine, that unwanted animal by the amazing devil, up the wolves by the mountain goats

Being dragonkin is avidly reading Wings of Fire even though dark and gritty stories of war and bloodshed aren’t really your thing because there aren't really other series available that truly center dragons. Seriously, I wish we had even a quarter of the quantity or variety of media humans have.

I had another dragon dream. It was about as silly as the last one. A trio of dragons went on an adventure. The leader was a female named Cavalier. They ended up in Quahog where Peter Griffin jumped onto Cavalier's back to try to ride her. She violently bucked him on. Peter's body was mangled on impact with the sidewalk, but he laughed and said "worth it." Then the three dragons had dinner with the Griffin Family.

Any time we see teal:

My girlfriend: “the color of my dragon form!”

Me: “ROCK RAIDERS!”

Yes, I am in a very neurodivergent, therein relationship.
