funny as hell when i'm just laying down and THAT'S when i shift. now i'm laying down but as an animal. okay

What would the future look like for otherkin?

Think about it…Let’s say three hundred years from now?

-Would we be noticed and accepted by human society? Would our identities finally be valid and not seen as a joke?

-What about body modifications? Could someone actually become a werewolf in the future?

-What if they reserved more land to be ‘habitats’ for therians and otherkin to live near so they can be surrounded by nature?

I really hope the future can look something like this

I am literally just a creature what do you expect me to do?!

@auri-suonen

you gotta stop, man

I can’t help but feel like my species somehow has a connection with swamp witches

This is how I think it would go

The witch would live in a cottage by a bog and I would protect them from witch hunters

I was almost like a familiar to them and while I’m not a fan of humans, Witches seemed to be nicer and more understanding towards me than most people

I kinda miss that feelings of knowing just ONE human but they gave me food so it was suddenly cool that I was hanging out with them

But idk shit about my kintype so I could be wrong about all of this

Pro tip: Turn the lights off when you shift

You won’t see your stupid human shadow

Hi! If you’re still taking requests could you please do a “How I look with she/they in my bio” with a wolf?

I’m always taking requests :)

If you need a different type of wolf don’t be shy to ask me

Stimboard for my hearthome

I miss it dearly

How to tell your human friend you’re Otherkin

Having alterhuman kids must be so weird like

“I actually gave birth to a coyote, Yeah the doctors got it wrong.”

A long post about my hearthome

Context- I must explain first… If you are an alterhuman that’s not familiar with my blog, I gotta explain I’m a turtle spirit/god

So take that information now because this post will make so much more sense if you know that about me lol

also please excuse spelling errors

————————————————

Intro-I don’t think of myself as a past life aterhuman, but I am for sure a spiritual alterhuman.

In short, my experience is knowing my species identity not as a “I was once this” but rather “I was supposed to be this”

My hearthome is a similar thought. I know I was supposed to be born (or hatched) there but something failed in a cycle of either reincarnation or karma.

I am certain that I belong there but I’ve never actually been to the place. All I get are glimpses of it.

————————————————

What it looks like- My hearthome is just one big  continent on an otherwise completely oceanic planet, with a few small islands scattered around the sea. It’s very similar to Earth’s Pangea.

I was supposed to be from one of the small islands but we’ll get back to that later…

The continent itself is very jungle-like and possesses bioluminescent rivers and ponds. Most of the architecture was built similarly to early eastern Asian architecture. As for the islands, most remained untouched but others were formed into small villages of huts and treehouses.

————————————————

Who lived there- There are a variety of creatures that inhabit the world but the major ones are humans, animals, and ‘animal gods’ or demigods.

Demigods are usually half animal/half humanoid but some demigods were even created to be a place of elements. (oceans, forests, mountains, stars, etc)

I am a demigod from this world and I mostly resemble a green sea turtle but sometimes I see myself as a red eared slider, I’m not actually sure

All demigods or elemental beings were created by dragons, who were complete gods. Some dragons became teachers for the newly spawned demigods to show them their ways and philosophies but very rarely.

They have to have a very big plan for you if they are going to teach you forbidden knowledge when you were just born.

————————————————

What was the culture like- Now that you know some information about the main continent, I would like to shift the subject to my island home. The name of the island was never told to me but I do know about the practices and beliefs we share.

Opalite is extremely important to us. My clan uses them to create  spears, bowls, and jewelry. The way we get these gems is not really possible in the current world I live in, because opalite here needs to be crafted by a human, but in my hearthome, the gems would be formed from the sand and would scatter the ocean floor until someone swam to the bottom to retrieve a piece. Grabbing your first opalite is very much of a ride of passage for my village.

Unlike the people/creatures on the continent who honor dragons, we chose another creature to be our symbol, Orcas. We know the significance of the dragons of course but we put more praise in the creatures we see everyday, rather than dragons that only resided in the main areas of the world.

Makes sense now, knowing that I’m orcahearted

The food we prepare on the island is always amazing. We usually hunt our own fish and grow our own fruits. Most of the fruits that exist on the island sadly don’t exist on this world.

Surfing and sailing is how my village got around to other islands or to the continent, but mainly we did it for fun.

Clothing is usually loose and silky. Mainly lots of beads, gems, and lightweight fabric. Shoes aren’t worn unless you are traveling a long distances, then you would wear geta shoes or something of the sort.

Our music is what I miss/yearn for the most. I wish I could describe it but it’s like it doesn’t want to translate into human words. I don’t think I can verbally illustrate it in a way that gives it justice. It feels like water…? It makes you feel like water is rushing around you, like you are in the center of a river made only of sound.

I think I should stop here, as I am loosing my words…

————————————————

I apologize if this one was an info dump but I appreciate you reading through all this, even if you are one of the sneaky critters that skipped to the end.

I wish I knew more. I wish I could truly be there but that’s not possible. All I have are visions that I hold close to my chest that I now share with you :)

There should be a month in the alterhuman community that is dedicated to stories, poetry, and art about our experiences

What if I put my heat lamp next to your heat lamp?

Just curious about something

have started to consider if im possibly timekin or timelink. the lines are blurred, but even if im not 'kin (in that way, anyways) i may develop a time related linktype anyways.

im not sure if theres an actual word for it. i used 'timekin' for this post due to it being a broad word, but for me itd be more like yearkin. im considering/questioning the years 2017-2019 (approximately) personally.

i havent been able to find any documentation on this, identifying as an amount of time. a specific day, week, year, decade, century, era. is there anyone else out there?

just because someone has a lesser understood, rarer, or often mocked 'type does not mean they are faking or trolling.

someone who is an ant is not trying to get attention by "picking something uncommon" someone who is a character from a satirical media does not mean they are faking it someone who is starhearted is not trying to be special

and these are just a few examples. you cannot assume whether someone is being genuine or not through their 'type.

just because someone has a popular, common, or well-liked 'type does not mean they are faking or trolling.

someone who is a popular character from a popular media is not trying to get attention by "picking something popular" someone who is a wolf is not "fake" for being a "popular species" someone who is planthearted is not trying to be special

and these are just a few more examples. you cannot assume whether someone is being genuine or not through their 'type!

I think I might be some sort of otherkin, like a NPC or something that has shapeshifting qualities?

that is so incredibly awesome and interesting! hope you well on your journey discovering yourself.

i am something with shapeshifting qualities as well, its a very interesting experience.

I'd love to hear about your experiences as songkin/conceptkin! Like, what's it like? Also don't forget you're amazing ✨

old ask from last year i forgot to respond to.. apologies! i hope this can answer your questions, i wasnt sure how to answer it. the question confuses me

being songkin is cool, or at least i think so. i like it a lot, music is a HUGE part of my life and i would not be who i am without it. music is something i listen to constantly, anytime i can, it is always surrounding me. i think it makes sense that im am a song myself as well. i cant really remember how i found out, it was likely a "wait, this feels like me. it feels right to call myself this song" and that was that. i like listening to that song, its a really good one. also one of my only forms i am comfortable with referring to with third person pronouns. i love that whole album! i am demo 4 of the mind electric. mental shifts are weird, i just want to call myself demo or demo4, sometimes dem, in those moments and listen to hawaii part II again. ive tried to draw a humanoid version of that form of myself but im yet to make it feel right lol. i just want to draw myself and use that as icons but its difficult when i have no visible form.. besides the album cover art

being conceptkin is actually both pretty similar and pretty different from that. i am christmas, sometimes call myself the concept of christmas or the christmas spirit. mental shifts for this one are usually very strong and last a while, i like to look at christmas-y things, listen to christmas music, and wear christmas clothing. i do have a humanoid form i represent myself with during christmas shifts though, since its easier for icons and artwork. but also i am a reindeer, the christmas kind of reindeer, which is heavily tied to me being christmas. i wouldnt be a reindeer if i wasnt also christmas!

and thank you, you are amazing as well im sure :-)
