Who Else Is Looking Forward To Laying In The Sun All Day When Summer Comes? Reptile Nonhumans Come Bask

who else is looking forward to laying in the sun all day when summer comes? reptile nonhumans come bask in the sun with me, we'll lay on the rocks together

Hey!! Just came to this blog and I'm loving it. I'd have to ask though. Dragons huh. How do you work/worship them? And uhm, from which mythology are they? Bc like I don't understand that. I've been doing research but didn't know what to type in the search thingy lmao

Heyo! Yes, dragons! :D I personally ended up working with a dragon who my mom works with, and then my familiar sort of just popped in one day lol. I'll have to post more about how dragons have shown up in my life, and if more pop in I'll post about that too if they're comfortable. If you're talking about what the whole practice looks like... Well, I don't actually know yet. Part of how I avoided looking at my own draconic nature was, unintentionally, avoiding working with the dragons in my life. I haven't built that part of my practice up at all, but I'll be posting more about it as I do!

As for what mythology dragons are from- absolutely everywhere, to the point that it's debated where the first myth came from because different cultures came up with them independently. I haven't done research into the mythology of dragons myself, since I haven't had the time since I decided to really work with them, but after a quick google search, here's what Wikipedia has to say: "Draconic creatures appear in virtually all cultures around the globe and the earliest attested reports of draconic creatures resemble giant snakes. Draconic creatures are first described in the mythologies of the ancient Near East and appear in ancient Mesopotamian art and literature."

You might've already read that yourself, but I thought I'd post it anyway. Maybe if I manage to hyperfixate sometime and do a proper deep dive on dragon mythology when I have the time/energy I'll reblog this with more info. However personally, my work with dragons will rely so heavily on UPG and my own experiences- I feel like most people use their own experiences more than mythology from what I've seen.

Really, as far as I'm aware, the answer as to "how to work with dragons" is "however you feel works for you and the dragons you end up working with."

Intro post

Hello! My name is Frog. Don't ask me why I'm not frogkin, but my name is Frog, I don't know. /silly

If you're coming from my main blog:

Yup, this is the "super secret" otherkin account of @tadpoles-and-daydreams. I decided to make a separate account and blog for dragonkin and dragon work rambles, since... well, to be honest I just wanted to separate my blog for witchcraft writing, tarot, etc. from this. This is a more personal blog in which I mostly reblog and post random little memes and tidbits, heavy UPG, dragon work, and what the hell does it look/feel like finding out your soul is draconic anyway?

And just in case: if you're coming from my main blog and are unfamiliar with any of the shit I'm talking about here in terms of otherkinity, dragonkin, being a dragon- please feel free to send in asks. I plan on writing more in-depth in a bigger post about what it is, what it's like, how I found out about it, etc. etc. but that will take a lot of time and energy that I currently don't have. Further down, though, I give the best TL;DR I can!

If you have no clue what the fuck the main blog is:

I talk about my experiences as a witch and meme about the funny side of witchcraft over there. Go there and check out my tarot readings if you want a dragon to throw some cards at you, or if you want to hear more about my craft outside of dragon work! I write a lot as a witch over there so if you like my witchy posts here, it's worth checking out.

My special interests include: Writing, Genshin Impact (I don't associate with most of the fandom they scare me), music, anime, the ocean, and "weird miscellaneous facts."

Dragonkin, specifically an amphitere.

local funny little witch man, I work with primarily with my deities and dragons and get bullied by a deck of cards a lot.

My familiar- though I hesitate to use that word due to its connotations as an "assistant" rather than a partner in my practice- is the one who kickstarted this by implying my energies were draconic in nature.

For everyone, regardless of how you found me:

This is where I plan to blog about my experiences when it comes to working with dragons, and fucking being one apparently. I want a safe space to write about my experiences, no matter how much I change. I feel like I've only dipped my toes into a vast ocean, a whole new aspect of my identity and my craft. I decided that I wanted to be able to write completely transparently about it- fears, mistakes, flaws and all- without it reflecting majorly on my main blog/my professionalism as a tarot reader who's just starting out.

So expect it all; the funny, the cool as fuck, the ranty posts, everything. This is just as much a tumblr blog as it is a journal, for me. I heavily value transparency, and that's something I can't be in public as an otherkin.

So I'll do it here instead. ^-^

Important posts:

A post I plan to update continuously of everything I know about my kintype:

The current closest reference I have for what I look like as a dragon, although admittedly not fully accurate:

YES I've talked to my mom about how, when I can't stim, I often stim in my head. I imagine doing the stimming motion, the image pops up in my head very literally.

Even though I don't get really strong shifts yet, because I don't feel like I've REALLY tapped into this part of me, I often still get the IMAGE. I shudder and get the image of my wings shuddering with me. I stretch and my wings stretch. I can stim with my wings a little bit, even though I honestly haven't learned how because my very literal mind is like "but do wings move like that though?"

I wish I could find a less infantilizing way to say this, but I feel like a fuckin' toddler who just discovered their hands. "HOLY SHIT WHAT DO THESE DO????"

i love tail and ear shifts so much cus even tho they aren’t ’actually there’ i still see them as another way to stim :3

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.
