WAIT Holy Shit I Never Posted This

WAIT holy shit I never posted this

HEY YEAH BY THE WAY I used flight rising's predict morphology thing to try and make what I look like. I sort of just went through it intuitively, since i didn't have much more than a vague shape and color, and I swear to you I got emotional the more things began to click.

And by the end, I was looking at... basically me. I think I only have one pair of wings, so maybe take the second pair away or turn them into fins. Add antlers and take away the feathers around the head, probably elongate the snoot a little, I think take away the little clawed wings, and there ya go that's me.

tbh the white patterns are specifically, I think, meant to look watery so I'm not sure that it's like... A solid pattern. I think it's meant to ripple and reflect like the surface of water. I don't think my form IS water, but I think it looks like it quite a bit.

Absolutely exhausted today (/POS) so low effort posts only for me BUT I'm so unreasonably stoked you guys. I feel the need to explain the otherkin tag at the beginning of the post; my kind are oceanic, so what I got IS related to it I swear.

My area has a local witchy market that I went to today, and UGH it was so fun. The last time I went everything I got was for my deities, but this time I figured... Well, I've been actively working on self-love and acceptance a lot lately. So I got things for me, with the exception of one crystal for my familiar bc they don't have anything on my altar so I told them to nudge me towards anything they liked.

I am nothing if not predictable; it's all ocean themed. I got a few crystals that reminded me of the ocean (except the rose quartz), a shell, a piece of coral... And now's where I tw it for dead things.

BIG HUGE WARNING, DEATH MENTION/ANIMAL DEATH MENTION.

I got possibly the coolest thing I own; a little friend. More specifically, an octopus in a jar. The other specimens were 30 dollars, which I couldn't justify- but they had one little guy left, who was 25 instead. That makes a big enough difference in my head. I know it might be odd that a dead octopus would feel comforting to an otherkin whose kind were protectors of the ocean, but as someone who works with Hades, I find a comfort in the darker things sometimes.

TW OVER YOU CAN READ SAFELY NOW

So now I suppose I have to clear off some space for a self-love altar, but that comes tomorrow. For now, I'm just happy to have found some things to connect me to who I am, even when I can't go see the ocean.

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

you are not you.

and yet i still see you.

i see the wings beneath your clothes, rustling and trying to get used to being so small.

i see the horns beneath your hair, threatening to grow and point towards the skies like they did before.

i see the claws beneath your nails, wanting to poke free and scratch at the bark of the nearest tree.

i see the pads on your hands, soft and invisible, waiting to touch the snow of tundras again.

you are not you.

and yet i still see you.

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

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
