So I’m join this subreddit for my friend who can’t get Reddit so any questions for her?

Hihi!!

Sorry if this is jumbled but I am very tired and recovering from heatstroke!

SO I've always felt somewhat connected to canines, my theriotypes over the years have mostly included foxes and canines but as of the past two years have not included canines, but now I'm questioning it again.

I don't know if I feel completely CONNECTED to German Shepherds but I love the aesthetics, the shape and life and identify as German Shepherd in the same way I would a lion. But I feel deeply connected to Lions unlike German Shepherds. It's like I experience all the longing of a theriotype for German Shepherds EXCEPT for the deep connection.

Is this otherhearted or what? Because I do think I identify AS a German shepherd, it's just not a very deep connection.

I’ve been questioning deitykin for a LONG while, and sometimes I feel like I can confirm it because I get dysphoria for it, I feel closer to the identity, etc. but then by the next day or week, it’s just gone altogether

And then it comes back a few weeks later??

It’s been like this for a few months now, and I know I have something to do with deities, but it’s just that sometimes I get very heavy dysphoria for being a deity/god and identify as one, and other times that identity just doesn’t seem to exist in me at all??

So I am Therian and Otherkin, but I also have this feeling I relate to and hold a deep connection with a lot of other animals too but they're not theriotypes.

For instance, I have a deep connection with equines, owls, reptiles, rodents and canines but I don't feel that I identify AS them in the same way I identify as a Lion or Lynx.

I know otherhearted is a term that kinda fits, but I don't heart specific animals, more like relating and having a deep connection to most animals on earth. Is there a term for that?

Does anyone know of any fluid terms for otherkin identities? Like contherian and suntherian where they’re integrated into you as a single entity but you experience mental shifts that don’t happen all the way, like you don’t really fully shift into your kintype and then it can happen the other way too, where you feel much more human at times but not completely…? Does that make sense?

Basically the title. Just wanna know where I fit in in this regard. I know therians and otherkins tend to fall under living creatures regardless if they are real or not. I also have a somewhat hazy understanding of how all this works.

But yes I am a plushie, I fully identify as one from gender to species. Please if you can help me understand that would be great!

How old were u when u felt first hate for ur human physical shape?

I, a tank, have been feeling a lot of dysphoria. I just can’t stand having a head instead of a turret, legs instead of tracks, ETC. I just need some tips on how to help this.

So I’ve never made gear before and I’m not really crafty, but I like the idea of constructing a pair of wings that could extend kind of from a ^^ to a \/ (preferably independently)

These would work mechanically obviously, but I’m not trying to do anything crazy or fancy. I just want to know if anyone has done anything like this and if so, what was used and how did it work?

after reading a small bit about balrogs in the Silmarillion, I felt a fiery aura around me very slightly.

yeah, I am indeed a fire demon (and potentially a balrog? The Silmarillion is making me kinsider being a balrog)

Ty!! And I hope to make some friends here ᓚ₍⑅^..₎♡

So after a few weeks of meditations and working with guides/spirits. I discovered i have a kitsune past. Over the last week ive been working more with Inari and learn shintoism. Im more on the spiritual side of things and like to blend otherkin with mysticism. I feel so very connected and happy for this discovery. Thank you for reading and have a blessed day.

Since there are so many proposals or partly no proposals for flags used for our communities, labels, how do we go about it?

I mean, ofc everyone should be free to use flags for themselves. Meanwhile, it be nice to have more recognisable flags

I get really shifty at night, which always confuses me since I’m a dragon kin and there’s really nothing about my environment that would elicit a strong mental shift. Is this normal for anyone else?

Hiraeth, pronounced "here-eye-th", is a Welsh word that has no translatable equivalent, that describes an inexplicable yearning for a home, time, or place to which you cannot return, going beyond homesickness, encompassing ancestral grief, nostalgia, or a deep longing for an era or a version of reality that is irretrievably lost. A feeling of profound incompleteness or longing.

I know I'm not alone in feeling this, though I'm unsure how many have this gem of a word tucked into their personal dictionaries.

What does home feel like to you? Do you think your interpretation/expression of it is attainable in this world? Remember; there are no wrong answers.

I’m a conceptkin of magic, every mythical creature, most of my fictionkins are magic or non human in some way, I’m questioning deitykin, and I’ve always just loved/wanted magic in general, and it gets physically painful sometimes, like right now😭

Whenever I get dysphoria like this, it feels like actual torture to look at my room/the world/my own body (especially my hands), I get all panicked and hyperventilate, my body physically aches and I get nauseous, etc. a lot of the time, I can’t do anything but sleep so it goes away

Sometimes I start shaking and I can’t even look around my own room without crying (or almost crying), which makes it worse because I hate the sound of my own voice and how I can’t do anything “magical” with it (and just how it sounds so weak and human in general)

I can barely look at objects because I’ll realize how I can’t make them float or grow or smth and that also makes it worse

It’s pure torment to even just exist during these💔

And it’s not even dysphoria for any certain thing I identify as, just not having magic in general

Im sure it’s probably normal, but still, who else here gets dysphoria like this?? I know there’s someone, and how do you deal with it😭

And to everyone with dysphoria, I wish you the best <3

I, personally never really had any, nor much phantom shifts. I'm a fae, and I fit into the identification, but never had any. Is that normal? Or am I delusional and faking?

So I've only recently discovered Otherkin, (I have a cousin and friends within the alterhuman community so it's nothing new to me, but otherkin was a new term I've found), and I have now been questioning if I'm a sirenkin. For the past couple months (That's just when I started noticing it, probably not when it started) I've been feeling... different. I feel better at night and in water, been wanting to swim a TON, feel like I can't breathe without drinking water frequently And have had an urge to sing nearly constantly. So I started to do research and came across otherkin. I'd also like to mention, that I do have a specific form in mind. I think. Once I started to notice the other things I also started imagining a very particular siren in my mind. Now I do lots of character creation, so this was nothing new, but it was different. Usually when I imagine a character design something starts up my imagination. But this was just out of nowhere. The form I have in mind is a large deep sea creature, arms and legs, but with a long tail, ear fins, needle-like teeth, unhingable jaw, Gills, spiny fins along the arms, legs, back and tail, webbed fingers and feet, claws, an angeler fish lure, and multiple octopus arms (better known as tentacles) sprouting from the back. Definitely some sort of eldritch-horror from the deeps, and definitely not just a normal siren. But no matter how much research I do that's the closest thing I can get to what I'm imagining. I do also have instances of a phantom pain like feeling, but without the pain bit? Like I can feel my tail or tentacles even though they aren't physically there? I would also like to mention I've had many moments where I feel almost dysphoric about my height. As if I were meant to be much larger, but I'm average height?? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
