#otherkin symbol

[generalstore-emote]

Remake of those nonhuman symbol emotes.

From start to end; otherhearted, turned a, therian, alterhuman/alt key, otherkin.

I think we need a more specific and recognizable symbol for the otherkin community. Seven pointed stars are already used by lots of other communities and have a ton of different meanings. Even the fairy star specifically is not mainly used by the otherkin community. If I search for the meaning of a seven pointed star or the fairy star specifically, the otherkin community is never mentioned. If I see someone in public with a fairy star, I have no way of knowing if they are otherkin or if they are using it for some other spirituality or meaning, or even if they just like the look of a seven pointed star.

I like the fairy star symbol, I even made a necklace for myself with the fairy star layered over my soul, but it just isn't useful in the way that it could and should be.

My suggestion is to combine the fairy star with another symbol to make it more specific. Customize it a bit to make a new otherkin star, instead of just using that preexisting symbol.

I don't know much about symbolism so I don't know of any specific symbols that would work well for this, but I think something representing connection, maybe a connection between worlds or something, would be good. Even as a mostly psychological fiction kin, i feel my identity is very much due to a connection with that other world and that other life, and I think that is a common theme with this community. I don't know if that represents the otherkin community overall though, so I would really love to get suggestions from you all! I will keep trying to think of possible combinations and hopefully soon I will be making another post with rough drafts but getting ideas from other people would help a lot.

New otherkin term I coined: Instakin

Its basically when you know you are a certain animal/character the minute you first see their appearance. Like you look at a photo or video clip of them and immediately go "Yep.that's me" . From the start, you've allways felt like you are them. Even if you didn't fully realize it at first.

Here's the flag for the label, along with a desaturated version of it + the symbol

Hi everyone, I'm finally getting around to a coining post for the placekin symbol!

I made this symbol around a year ago, but I never officially established it as a symbol for placekin. So, here I am doing it now!

Placekin Symbol

Each aspect of the symbol represents something different:

Outer circle with cross: Represents several things, such as the Sun-Cross, Quatered Cross, and the Glyph of Earth. Represents the power of the sun, the unity of elements, and is made of the Cross of Matter and the Circle of Spirit, representing the unity between earth, matter, and spirit.

Location Marker: Represents the identity as a place

Upside Down Triange w/ Horizontal Line: Represents Earth, elementally

Borromean Rings: Strength in Unity

It is up to the individual to decide if they would like to use this symbol to represent their placekin identity or not!

Weirdly religious undertones? In MY kin experience? It’s more likely than you think.

[truthsoarer]

I was a bit silly....

Here I am now, with 23 symbols on my wardrobe and making more. So... Here they all are! I have to separate them into a few posts, don't mind that

Nonhuman | Alterhuman | Otherhearted

Otherkin | Anthro (not sure)

Alterhuman | Otherlink | objectkin/objectum

Fictionkin | Copinglink

CORRECT ME IF ANYTHING IS WRONG PLEASE!

Website Update and Announcement For Major Project

Our website, The Chimeras Library, has been updated.

Changes include:

An Updated "Symbols Found In The Alterhuman Communities" which now includes the symbols for endels, archetropes, and conceptkin!

An overhauled "A Deeper Look Into Cladotherianthropy."

Added a Spanish translation of  "A Timeline of the Therianthrope Community." Translated by the alterhuman aike.

Added a Spanish translation of "A Timeline of the Fictionkin Community." Translated by the alterhuman aike.

Added a Spanish translation of "A Timeline of the Alterhuman Community." Translated by the alterhuman aike.

Added a Spanish translation of "A Timeline of Plant-Identified People in the Otherkin Communities." Translated by the alterhuman aike.

We're also happy to announce a major project we hope to be sharing in the near future.

The Chimeras Archive.

The Chimeras Archive will consist of an ever updating link to a Zotero account hosting citations for the over 500 items of various media related to the alterhuman community, mentioning alterhumans, or of interest to alerhumanity.

Categories that will be included: academic books, dissertations, journal articles, academic lectures, theses, non-academic books, documentaries, lecture or convention panels, magazine articles, zines, TV broadcasts, newspaper articles, radio broadcasts, podcasts, novels, comics, games, movies, plays, and more.

The Chimeras Archive is an updated version of a project we have been working on for the past decade. We are committed to collecting materials as they relate to alterhuman and sharing their existence with others. This includes not only collecting the citations of these many different kinds of media but also acquiring physical/digital copies of these materials.

Unlike our other projects which have designated versions published in pdf form. Our plan is to instead run a live and updating Zotero listing and a document where the same information will be listed in written form.

As this is a massive overhaul of our existing project, the completion into these two formats is taking a significant amount of time please see our "Academic Publications, Non-Academic Publications, Media, Art, and Fiction Related To Nonhumanity" for the previous rendition of this project in the mean time. We plan on releasing links to our Zotero and the live document in the near future once we have had a chance to better layout the groundwork for them.
