Y'all Did I Ever Mention That I Explained My Draconity To My Partner? Because Fun Fact That Conversation

Y'all did I ever mention that I explained my draconity to my partner? because fun fact that conversation went infinitely better than I expected and looked like this.

Me, nervous as fuck but starting to drop hints: "Yeah, there's this community of people I found through the witchcraft community that just... don't feel human*. Like there's a ton of different ways to go about it, spiritual versus psychological reasoning- but they just don't identify with humanity, and usually have some sort of animal or mythical creature they feel they are."

My partner: "OH OH I KNOW THAT ACTUALLY actually I follow someone, it's so cool to watch how they've trained to move in a less human way and stuff- I mean hell if I don't feel human sometime, I get it-"

Me: "So... the reason I brought that up was to gauge how open you would be... uh.... because I'm a dragon."

My partner: "FUCK YEAH DRAGONS THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE I'm a dog."

So, I learned something new about my partner, and I think I found the funniest possible response to me coming out as otherkin. Which is to just one up me XD

No seriously, I feel this- one of my closest friends knows. Neither of us ever.. SAID it, I'll probably mention it next time I meet up with them, but I explained alterhuman identities and once they were understanding said that it's a special interest I've kept quiet about. Same thing I said the same weekend about dragons. They know damn well what I mean, I know that they know, I just haven't said it out loud yet.

Thing is, they THREW A PLUSHIE AT ME and said "bitch!!! You have friends who are weird too and understand!!! Shut!! Your mouth!!! Tell me more about the cool dragon people in your phone!!"

And they have openly joined in on the jokes about me being "the thing that lurks in the depths." I feel like I fucking won friendship what the hell

teaching some people abt alterhumans rn, theyre so understanding its actually insane

YES I was talking to my mom today about how therian/otherkin Tumblr is just... Such a safe place for me. And how I'm able to talk about a part of myself I didn't understand for so long, and how no one here thinks I'm delusional for it they just GET IT. Witchy Tumblr and otherkin Tumblr have been so helpful because I can just casually talk about being a dragon spiritually and how that effects me and even!!! Make stupid little jokes about it!!!

Idk Im so used to the attitude most people take when I make gay or witchy jokes of "not everything has to be gay/witchy" like I'm only allowed to interact with that aspect of my identity in a Serious MannerTM that it's so nice to be able to be a dumbass here. I can just meme about how I'm an aquatic dragon who's always dehydrated XD

therian Tumblr

thank you for giving me a place to truly be me, i love you all so much and will happily give each of you loving bites

Today I just realized something and the irony of it is not lost on me. I am an aquatic dragon. In this lifetime, though, I just so happen to also be chronically dehydrated.

I hate it here /j

my deities @ me after things get less chaotic. Because it will get less chaotic, right-

grabs your hand. you've had enough plot and exposition and character development lately im taking you to the beach episode

Me: hi

The two ancient dragons I work with: hi?? do you need help?? protection from mean people??? help with a spell???

Me: .....is it okay if I'm just one of you, like not a human who feels like one of you, I'm just one of you now. one of the bois. like can we just pretend I'm not stuck in this tiny crappy lil body.

Dragons: yeah???? we never implied you weren't one of us??? that's a you thing you should work on why you felt like honey-

Me: shhHHHHHHH COOL ily that's all I needed <3

i just find it funny that i work with ancient gods and i could ask for success or fame and all i do is be a little weirdo with them

me: hi

the deities: whatever you need child? help with trauma? money? love? support?

me: can i identify as a raccoon if i still identify as a rat

the deities: sure you can
