Otherkin Discord Coven

Hey all! Just wanted to advertise the new Coven Discord!

This discord is specifically for Vampires, Vampire Familiars, Ghosts, Undead, Werewolves (+ other weres), Demons, Angels, and Dragons. These are the specific groups this discord is made for. We feel like these kins are underrepresented and we would just like to make a community for these kins!

I know its a little cringe that I'm advertising a discord server but I would really like to have a nice community for these kins.

In this server we are also a practicing witch/vampire coven and we'd like to include the above listed kins into our group. We host talks, classes, tips, streams, movie nights, vcs, and game nights. We have pluralkit and tupperbox for systems as well. Nontraumagenic systems are not welcome (sorry). This is a safe space please no drama.

I would really appreciate it if you join! There is a verification process so please don't just join and do nothing T-T. Can't wait to see you all there!

Do Vani have the capability to turn humans into monsters? Kinda like what happened to Null in "Arbitrary Sermon", or was that just coincidence?

Madeline's transformation into a monster is completely isolated from the Vani events, and is something currently known as Lycanthropy. She turned into a Were. It is happening all over the world and affecting humans one by one, but no one knows what is causing it.

Vani cannot turn people into monsters in the same way. They'd have to enthrall them to transform them into anything different, but it wouldn't be a back-and-forth transformation thing like with Lycanthropy. It would be more like a zombification process, whether they leave them dead or alive. Either way, Vani can only create mob thralls, and ONLY with the help of an Amplifier.

Weres are not only fully autonomous still but are even stronger than their human forms. They are definitely not thralls. Vani wouldn't want to make something that can rival them, would they?

Do your thing alterhumans

After all, it wasn't the best decision for a human family to move into the outskirts of a 51. But it wasn't unheard of. The prices were lower for humans, for whatever reason, so those that had nowhere else to go ended up flocking to these places, these manufactured borderlands. The only cumbersome thing was getting themselves certified as humans, but the Behrharts had went through the process uncommonly fast. It was just a simple scanner and set of photos and a new ID card for each one of them. Emily Behrhart, proud mother of four, and the kids Jake, Ruby, Winona, and Zander. Just one mother, and no other parent to speak of, which was commented on at least once through the screening process, but Emily, called "Mama Behr" by those who knew her closest, herded her little rowdy darlings (We're almost all teens, mom!) through every scanner with warlike resolve.

Surprisingly, it really wasn't too hard to get acclimated to the 51s. Sure, it might be... different, odd, et cetera, the usual holoscreens and cybernetic implants seen in normal crowds now speckled with fur and fangs and buglike, wide eyes, but it was welcoming.

That was the fault of the Weres. Emily couldn't call them all werewolves, because though most of them looked like they were mid-transformation into some sort of dog, there was the odd cat or pigeon or - never mind that, though - what was REALLY important was the party that ended up starting after a few of them hollered about the new neighbors and ending no fewer than ten hours later, well into the breaking of the morning and leaving the poor Behrharts with more brimming casserole dishes than they knew what to do with.

So, yes, the Weres. The best, or rather most friendly, cryps to have as neighbors. Emily and her brood got out of that experience with what was essentially a messy, piecemeal guide on how to survive amidst the 51s, told by the whole pack of the weres bit by bit over the course of the night.

Feed the Fae scraps and don't look too hard at the Demons. That's the first rule. If you don't feed the Fae, they'll go rummaging through your trash, and they're hell to deal with if they get trapped in the bin, which they do, frequently, even if you feed them. But they do it less if they get offerings. The Demons will thank you for that, seeing as the Fae are what they used to be.

Never let someone with fangs bite you. That too. Whether it's a Were or a Vampire or even a latent case of Zombification Syndrome the result will never be that great and you don't want to find out too late what the hell it was.

And wear a mask too. There's always something in the air.

All the insider tips tried not to blur together in Emily's brain after - she wrote them down and pinned them on the fridge, just in case. She really couldn't get just one thing out of her head, though - the invitation to join the pack. She scoffed, but her heart was warmed by the gesture. No, she was staying fully human, and her kids were too.

But even so, she had to ask.

"Are you sure you're fine living on this street?"

"Yeah, mom, don't worry about us!" was the dismissive chorus of her brood heading across the street where their new friends waved out of windows.

“Are you sure you’re fine living on this street?” “Yes mom. The werewolves across the street party too loud, but they turn it down if I ask them. Plus the vampire family next door keeps the crime rate low here”

Me: You know how when you were a kid and you’d wish that you’d get sick or injured in a way that would justify why you didn’t live up to your potential?

Everybody, apparently: No?

At the company retreat, one extremely drunk girl asked what my pronouns were. (Eventually, it took her a while to word the question.) After the whole conversation was done, she goes- "YEAHHH GURL, Get on with--with THY bad self! See what I did?? They/them/thy."

I was almost holding back tears from trying not to laugh as I told her yes that's great you nailed it honey. Thank you very much I am feeling the love.

Anyway I've been assigned Thee/Thine at Supportive Drunk Girl

i’m gonna cry it’s raining right now and i just passed by a family where both parents were without an umbrella but their kid who couldn’t have been older than like 3-4 was proudly holding this GIANT umbrella whose diameter was as tall (if not taller) as the kid. both the parents were getting absolutely drenched but u could tell the kid was just so happy to have an “adult” task and carry the umbrella themselves and i think that sacrifice is what love is all about

Can a were form ever be shorter than the original human form?

yep! just try to stay Vaguely Human Sized

like. someone can definitely be shorter as a Were, but they're never gonna be like. cat or dog or rodent sized

Yknow rewatching gravity falls makes you realize how batshit insane Ford truly was

1. Lights his face on fire instead of shaving because “it’s faster”

2. Suggests Rudolph should’ve murdered the other reindeer for making fun of him

3. Had a situationship with a triangle

in general i dont think fandom tattoos are a bad idea but i think u need to at least give yourself like a two year buffer from the end of that piece of media before you commit. like if someone told me "yeah im obsessed with hazbin hotel rn so im gonna get a hazbin hotel tattoo" id be like woah okay maybe put a pin in that idea for later. but if someone told me "yeah i read homestuck in its prime and i still love it so im gonna get a homestuck tattoo" id be like well fair enough its been like eight years. if you still like it now you'll probably still have fond memories of it in 20 years. you do you.
