#ghost other kin

Tiktok nonhumans have to be ragebait at this point.

Where do they get their information from? Like seriously. Do they do no research at all?

Physical therians obviously exist. Being a therian IS BEING AN ANIMAL. IT IS BEING NON HUMAN. You can’t ostracize anyone who’s just… being a genuine therian? Using the label the way they’re supposed to?

I think it has to do with the fact tiktok likes to take communities and water them down to just an aesthetic. I’ve noticed a trend where people on tiktok seem to only care about the looks of these communities, and not about the actual meaning or lifestyles of them. They’ll refuse to do actual research and put any effort into understanding it, and then have the gall to police and shun the people who use the labels and ACTUALLY know what they mean. I’m tires of seeing “therians KNOW they aren’t animals!!” “People who say they’re not actually human are so weird!!” type of content everywhere on that side of tiktok. It’s so frustrating and so tiring to be searching for nonhuman content and only coming across these types. 90% of nonhuman tiktok just a watered down aestheticized roleplay-adjacent version of it full of people who refuse to research and treat anyone who’s a genuine nonhuman like they’re crazy or weird.

Maybe I’m being too harsh. I dunno. I’m just upset about this.

(Also yes! I know there are plenty of therians/otherkins there who know what they’re talking about! I don’t mean every nonhuman on tiktok, just these specific kinds.)

*because I don’t like to be perceived and that seem cool yeah

**Because I am a forever changing creature, I demand to be formless because I’m both everything and nothing, I can’t be defined or destroyed, never caught or set in stone - forever a tale carried on by mouth until inevitably fading into history and obscurity.

if you have any cool powers is subjective entirely on your own experience in media representations of that creature. You think vampires are immortal and can turn to bats? Well if you choose that then you are too. You think they can actual live in the daylight and eat garlic? Well so can you. You think they cant? Well, then you cant. It’s simple, really.

Hello!

Can I have tips for bansheekin plz?

Thank you and have a nice day.

Tips for banshees!

pt: Tips for banshees! end pt

get yourself a special comb to keep with you or comb your hair with

sing!! a lot! practice things like projection and sounding haunting

practice wailing/banshee screaming as well!

adding onto the above, make sure to properly learn vocal safely like warmups, cooldowns, and proper technique. you don’t want to hurt your vocal folds!

dye your hair silvery colours like greys, whites, silvers, or just a more silvery version of any colour you like!

red hair is also a common colour for banshees if you prefer!

many myths of banshees describe them wearing grey cloaks and green dresses, so incorporate those colours and items into your wardrobe!

find modern day media with banshees in it, like Dungeons and Dragons!

learn more about the history of the banshee! learning about irish culture, folklore, and language is deeply fascinating!

hope these are useful! - 👾

Hey @ non-religious angelkin: what's that like?

By which I mean...do you relate your angel-ness to something other than religion? Do you treat the religion from which your type of angel originates as mythology/fictional rather than your actual beliefs? Especially for angelkin who used to be religious and were angelkin when they were religious but aren't religious anymore.

I left Christianity a few years ago and was angelkin under its framework but lost touch with that since I left it and didn't feel like I could still be an angel but didn't really identify with being a fallen angel because, in the tradition I grew up with, that's fully synonymous with "demon" and I don't feel connected to demons (at least currently; my system recently split alters who might cause that to change but it can't be counted on).

I'd like to reconnect with being angelkin, but since it was always tied up in religion to me, I don't really know how to do that anymore or if that's even possible. I'm not an angel of God anymore and can't be ever again but I don't know if I fully identify with being an angel of Satan either. So if anyone knows anything about being angelkin outside of being religious or having positive associations with God, I'd like to hear about that.

im reaching new and concerning levels of understanding watanuki on a personal level

[abyssembraced]

so for that meme. ghost reaching the abyss for the first time.

Send me a quote/scene from my muse’s canon, and I'll explain what went through their head during it! (Accepting!)

The door before them crumbled into particles of light. With the mark of King seared into them, no secrets could remain sealed.

A platform ahead, ending in open air. They stepped onto it. Cold metal, unlike the fossils and stone that preceded it. They looked down.

Dark. Their pale shell the only illumination offered. Deep. Couldn't see the bottom.

A calling, below.

They descended.

Platform to platform. Into the depths. Pits of spikes. Broken shells of fallen bugs. Shadow Creepers crawling about (harmless. Source of SOUL if necessary). Corpses increasing in number.

...Familiar.

They've been here before. But when? They didn't know. Yet the calling in their core persisted. They continued on.

Misjudged distance. Missed the next platform. Desperate flutter of wings. Reaching out with claw. Missed. Falling. Familiar.

Impact with ground. Floor of shells. Rise. Careful not to stumble. Familiar.

A shadow emerged from the depths. Living darkness took shape into a creature.

Familiar. Familiar.

So, so familiar. They knew this being, this darkness. Why this was, they did not know (could not recall?), yet it was an undeniable fact, the truth of which they felt with utmost certainty. This being and them, they were... Alike.

There was a word to be used. They did not know it.

They had felt like this once before, had they not? That broken, Infected vessel of Lightseeds had evoked a similar sensation of Alikeness. Albeit lesser, far lesser, than what they felt toward the shadow before them now. Obscured by the Infection back then, perhaps, or for some other reason.

They stood still, watching, as the other, in turn, took proper notice of them. As it floated toward them, drawing ever closer.

PAIN.

An explosion upon their shell, their insides, their mind. Emotions transferred to them from the Alike. Feelings of... Bad. They did not know the words.

Enemy. Danger. Fight back.

The fighting stopped. The being's form split apart by their blade, curling into an orb of shadow once more. Returning to the earth.

Silence.

...

Their nail is returned to their back.

A calling, below. Deeper. Yet there was no distance left to fall. Perhaps, if they pressed onward, some tunnels would lead them further down.

They continued on.
