Literally, I Remember When I Had A Nonbinary Phase (/pos It Was A Very Important Phase!!) Before I Realized

Literally, I remember when I had a nonbinary phase (/pos it was a very important phase!!) before I realized I was just fully a guy, and the "My gender is a void," "my gender is just a lil creature," "my gender is simply a cryptid from the ocean," etc. etc. type of humor became such a staple in my own sense of humor.

Looking back, it definitely would've clued me in if I'd known about otherkin. I don't feel like it would've gone over well had I figured it out sooner, so it's okay for me personally, but it's outright comical how Very Not Subtle I was.

I believe i said this before on another account but imma say it again

If it was normalized to question your species then there would be so much more alterhumans 🙏

The amount of comments and posts i see of people saying they "miss having wings" or want fangs or are "just a floating orb" but never stating they're alterhuman, LIKE it's so many i can't even talk about them all here. I just got reminded because i saw a post of a so obviously Fictionkin person. But i didn't say anything bc they have to figure out what they identify as ofc.

But you get my point

Ayyy I can actually offer input here! Local pagan witch, and I was a witch WAY before I realized I just also happened to be a dragon. I've been actively practicing (admittedly in cycles/off and on) for about four years, and I've considered myself pagan since middle school.

My discovery or "awakening" or whatever word you'd like to use was because I started to work with my familiar, who is a dragon, and they basically.... gently implied that there might be a reason I loved dragons so much. And then left me to figure out the rest on my own. Love them, they're a bit of a cryptic bitch.

A little funny to me that I do follow a religion that suggests reincarnation is part of the afterlife (just part of it! it's complicated) but my inhumanity is 100% psychological in nature. It's interesting to me how a lot of spiritual alterhumans seem to intertwine their beliefs with their alterhumanity, I think it's so cool to connect different parts of your identity like that! It's just not me for some reason, they're pretty separate and I'm okay with it like that. I've also noticed a lot of spiritual alterhumans are pagans, which makes me curious if they were following their religion before or after discovering they were alterhuman

(I have also noticed unfortunately a lot of pagans in the community have very appropriative practices that stem from the modern wicca/witchy/neopagan movement that just cherrypicked several holidays from different cultures and then just made up whatever they wanted about them......but that is not really related to this post. maybe for another time lol)

I'm having a sort of time of really quick and intense discovery, right, and last night as I was going to bed a couple things just sort of popped into my head and they make so much sense now.

I've always slept on my stomach. I HATE laying any other way, I've never been able to articulate why it just bothers me. Now that I can borderline feel my wings, laying on my stomach goes from something I feel is important but can't articulate why to making perfect sense. I don't experience any phantom feeling or pain, but I sort of just "feel" them energetically like they're there, and I don't like when I have to have my back against something if I can feel them strongly.

The other thing I realized today; I've always felt, often, like there's something behind me. It never felt malicious or scary, I kept assuming it was one of my deities or entities that I work with because it just felt like some vague energy behind me- but I could never figure out who, or why. I eventually attributed it to the fear of something behind me, because typically that's what it's portrayed as, but I never actually felt afraid.

Well, now I know why past me couldn't figure out who it was. Surprise, it's you buddy, you've just sorta got wings. Have fun.

Heyo! I’m a bit too shy to go off anon but I do follow your other blog and opted to follow this one, but I’m actually so happy to see you’re discovering yourself and 🤝 I may not exactly be kin with anything (to my knowledge) I’ve got a deeply rooted connection with dragons & ravens (closest to say I’m otherhearted) so like idk I just got really happy for you 😭🫶

-(if I send any other asks I’ll just go by Raven anon LMAO)

I had a really exhausting day yesterday and another couple ahead of me (/pos, all good things) so I wasn't able to answer this when i saw it, but this made my night seeing it last night!

You don't have to be otherkin to be happy for us, much less to be welcome on my blog- so thank you so much for sending in this ask! It was so genuine I could tell, it made me happy :D sending all the good vibes your way

“how did you get into writing” girl nobody gets into writing. writing shows up one day at your door and gets into you

What I know so far

This is just a basic information post about EVERYTHING I know so far about my draconic nature, past lives as a dragon, etc. etc.

My soul in its truest form, my "higher self," whatever word you want to use for it, is a dragon.

I spent multiple lifetimes as a dragon, it's probably the most common form I take when it comes to reincarnation.

My soul's truest form isn't even based in earth. The only information I have is that the earth is probably "too young" and that my soul is older. Cryptic fuckin' intuition -_-

The amphitere is probably the closest to my "truest" form, or at the very least it's the form I would find most useful to remember in this lifetime since it's based on earth. "No use in yearning for something not even on this planet." This way, I can at least find things close to what feels like home.

Multiple people in this lifetime have known me in other lifetimes. More specifically, my brother (I feel the need to specify that he doesn't live with me, we didn't both grow up in a household that encouraged spirituality and such or anything) knew me as a dragon. He was human, but we both get the sense that he had multiple human lifetimes within my one lifetime as a dragon.

My mom also at least met me during that lifetime.

Appearance traits I feel I had as an amphitere: (likely blue in my case) scales, feathered wings (not blue? not sure), antlers, swimmy/fluid in motion, long snake-like body, the ability to dissolve into the ocean from a solid form. I hesitate to write this last one, as I previously have viewed dragons solely as astral plane beings who do not and never had physical forms in this realm at any point in history, but it felt like I had a solid form- and the ability to dissolve it. The strong emotions that came with the thought, of how nice it would feel to become "one with the ocean" and how much it would feel like home, was impossible to ignore.

Things that resonate strongly with me but aren't appearance: Aquatic association, protectors of the ocean and its inhabitants, storytellers.
