YES I've Talked To My Mom About How, When I Can't Stim, I Often Stim In My Head. I Imagine Doing The

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

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.

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:

Tumblr

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 intuiti

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.

This is only sort of related, but the other day I was talking with my mom about being dragonkin and such.

And this woman, I love her with all my heart, had the AUDACITY to just go "Well you've been roleplaying nonhuman characters since you were in elementary school."

Cue the very long pause. Because while I'm aware that I've had a comically predictable pattern of DND characters being either "bird flavored" or aquatic (my dragon type has feathers and is aquatic) and I know I've been writing inhuman characters a lot since high school.... what was I doing THAT far back?

She just looked at me like it was obvious and went "Warrior Cats. You literally met your current partner roleplaying Warrior Cats."

IT MADE ME TRANS AND A DRAGON

reblog if reading Warrior Cat led you down the trans pipeline

I was going to make an intro post first but I'm too excited-

I HAVE. A PROJECT. AND IT IS COMING TOGETHER.

So I've wanted to make a cloak/cape type thing for a while. A sort of Sky COTL type deal- preferably a wing looking cape. This has only become more relevant recently, because now I've realized that I just. Have wings. Even if I can't feel them without focusing, they're there anyway.

This has been completely off the table for YEARS because of money. Even now, I'm doing tarot readings but that takes being seen places- I have yet to reach that. I have hope, but it's still not happening YET.

HOWEVER I was talking to someone about this, and they brought up that they know how to sew. And run our art group. So they can buy me "art supplies," even for personal projects. They're outright offering to get me fabric and teach me to sew.

So I... Might be able to make my fucking wing cape, I might be able to just WEAR WINGS??? ALL THE TIME??? This also is a great starter to learn how to make things so I can do more in the future!!
