A Short Introduction For Those From My Main Blog Who Would Be Interested In This One

A short introduction for those from my main blog who would be interested in this one

I spent hours writing this post. These feelings are hard to articulate, something soul-deep that I know I’ve barely stepped into. The length of this post doesn’t reflect that, but believe me; I edited and re-edited so many times. Then, I realized as I was writing this post that I was no longer writing about my feelings on being a dragon and working with them, I was writing a post trying to justify and explain it. So let’s start again.

Hi. Most people who see this will be seeing it on my main blog, @tadpoles-and-daydreams. This is a blog built more around UPG, personal identity, and dragon work than my main one. This is… sort of an intro post. Not to me, you already know me- but to this part of me.

On my main blog, I don’t talk about my familiar. Here, I’ll refer to them as… well, admittedly the only current name I have for them. “Friend.” I’ll make another post about them and how we met sometime. They showed up in my life, told me I need to value my inner child essentially, and then promptly stepped back. I didn’t talk to them for weeks. I felt bad. I was talking with my deities and doing other things, but Friend- and the other dragon who works with my family as a whole- just completely weren’t a part of my craft. For Friend this was new, but I’ve been intending and intending to work with the other dragon I know for most of my practice. I’d always wanted to work with dragons, but just… never had.

Now I know why; because it feels like home. I wasn’t ready to go home.

“Home,” in this case, is a part of my identity that I’ve kept hidden even from myself. Home looks like wings of fins and feathers, swimming through the water or air, being one with the sea and protecting every creature within it like your own kin because they are. Home, to me, is learning about what my soul truly is; a dragon. I’m in a human body, yes. Whatever your beliefs are around life, mine are that I’ve chosen to incarnate as a human in this lifetime for whatever reason. It doesn’t change what my soul is, in its truest form, and it hasn’t changed no matter how much I tried.

I have repressed this long and hard. I’m a high-masking autistic, and I learned very quickly in my childhood that there are right and wrong ways to be. I was never, ever, the right way to be. I never will be, either; not in the eyes of most people. The “right” way to be certainly doesn’t involve being a dragon.

So I’m going to be “wrong,” as enthusiastically and loudly as possible, on this little corner of the internet. I’m finally coming home; to myself, and to my dragons. We have one hell of a journey ahead.

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

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

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!!

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.
