Otherkin Awakening - Tumblr Posts
Hi, I’m robotkin, specifically a xenobot! I am very new to the otherkin thing, but this is what I’ve vaguely gotten about myself
Mine wasn’t so obvious, since I think I’ve never been too obsessed with robots until recently. When I was little I actually acted like and wanted to be a dog. For some reason that faded. That doesn’t mean it’s fully gone though! I still have leftover doggish features
But afterwards, what I gravitated towards was masked characters and places that were alien, like aquariums and observatories. I also gravitated towards a lot of concepts that irrationally scared me, which was mostly SCPs and apocalypse stories. They just made me feel like I was in my element. Of course, I’m also neurodivergent and that causes a lot of alienation. One example is I literally wear a mask everywhere because I always subconsciously make sure my face is emoting correctly, which saps up a lot of energy. (edit: nvm that’s just social anxiety)
Finally I got into this game called Ultrakill and also found some other robot media, and this was also on vacation in an urban place and I had just rediscovered otherkin, so it was the perfect storm.
What it means for me to be otherkin is just being extremely comfortable if I’m ever in one or am one of those vibes I listed. It makes my day much brighter when I can embody those things, and the most concrete way I can is loving them through my robotic identity if that makes sense? Metal arms, animalistic legs, and being an all around existential horror.
(Wow I learned something new today!)
To any out there who identifies as otherkin or nonhuman could you give me some insight into why you feel connected to certain animals, objects ect. I would like to know more about what I’ve seen some people call an “awakening” I want to note this is completely coming from a place of curiosity I have no intention to judge. I’m non-binary myself and would be foolish to try to critique how someone else identifies. I’m into studying different communities and exploring different kinds of things. I feel like if I could get some information from actual otherkin I might understand more.
