Polymorph Kin - Tumblr Posts

I know which kin is strongest when I get a bout of species dysphoria surrounding that kin

The polymorphism has retaken the wheel, y'all

Over here we have:

Cloud of smoke with ever changing form. Vampirism. Werewolf. Literal god of hell

Being polykin is so bizarre, like yes I am an immortal being who has lived for millions of years, I'm a chaotic robot clown, and I'm a cute little cat ^-^

Okay so I have a lot to say about this (not aimed at you OP)

'Validity' doesn't exist in terms of identity. I hate that validity culture has polluted the OTHERKIN COMMUNITY of all communities; it's a parasite that does nothing but cause infighting and distract people from actual issues.

Who cares if someone kins Rainbow Dash for fun? Who cares if their kintype is a sparkly pink wolf? Who cares if they can influence shifts or can't experience shifts at all? Someone's experience is their own and is wonderfully unique and real. Being 'valid' has nothing to do with that.

Communities are supposed to uplift each other, damn it, not make certain individuals of said community feel even more isolated.

I see a lot of posts listing experiences we have as alterhuman/therian/otherkin/nonhuman folk and exclaim that every one of them is valid.

Which they are.

Why does it bother me? Because I hate to see that this is needed at all. That we need to slap a “valid” sticker on our experiences.

It doesn’t matter whether or not we, (as individuals), decide they are or aren’t valid.

it doesn’t matter. What happens will happen regardless of whether or not you have an opinion on how “valid” it is.

So what if you’re nonhuman but also human? That’s an experience, it won’t magically stop happening because someone goes “nyeeeh”. (Just an example. You can insert whatever gatekeepers like to complain about and it would still work).

It’s saddening, more than anything. The fact gatekeepers think they can push people out for having different events happen to them ended up making us feel the need to say “hey, your experiences are real and they don’t make you lesser than those who have more common experiences”.

Imagine saying to someone that is crying that it’s okay to cry even though you and/or others aren’t. Of course it is. It should go without saying.

But these are just some Kxena thoughts, hopefully I was able to put them clearly into words heheh

I don’t believe uplifting posts are bad in the slightest, it’s just saddening to see we need them at all. Keep on lifting each other up! We all deserve to feel accepted and respected in this community. Write some words of kindness today!

Imagine a massive dog approaches you and just fucking goes 'miaw :3'

Growing up alterhuman is isolating, even when you have friends who pretend to be animals with you. Because that's all it is to them: pretending.

I'm someone who has felt some level of nonhuman for a huge chunk of their life; much like other kids, I would 'pretend' to be an animal or mythical creature. However, there was always an underlying sense of reality when I would 'pretend' to be a wolf, a leopard, a tiger, a mermaid, or even an ordinary housecat. As I grew, the feeling lingered, and at around 12 or 13 I discovered the otherkin community through cringe compilations.

I immediately felt a kinship to the community and couldn't understand what was so cringe about them. I found myself looking into the community, and I 'came out' as a vampire at 13. It was treated simultaneously as just a phase and something worrying. I started wearing tails at 14 everywhere I went, as I had developed two wolf forms. I stopped doing anything like this around the time when quarantine started.

I am now an adult, 19 years of age, and still nonhuman. I came into understanding of my polymorph identity at 17, and have stuck with it while gathering forms that I also consider to be kintypes; I consider myself to be canine therian despite not identifying as a dog all the time, for example. I still identify as a vampire. It is still isolating.

It is isolating because I know there are people who will see me and say, 'aren't you too old to play pretend like that?' as if I chose to have a lingering sense of nonhumanity from childhood. As if I chose this unshakable disconnect from humanity. As if I am playing pretend. I wish it were that simple, a game of play pretend. But no, this is a part of my identity, and I feel so othered sometimes because ""normal"" adults don't do this. I am a freak adult just as I was a freak child. But I also feel at peace, because I have this part of me and I have community. I know there are adults out there like me. 'Normalcy' isn't some superior state of being and being a 'freak' ain't all that bad.

So yeah, I guess where I'm trying to go with this is that otherkin adults aren't immature for their identities. We deserve to be taken as seriously as the adults who identify as human. We deserve to exist without ridicule, much like otherkin kids deserve the same.

hullo,, thought I'd share my Phighting polymorph Mimic forms cause they ar interesting !! :D

ive really only gotten medkit and subspace so far,, I used to get Banhammer every once ina while but some of my forms kinda just come and go ^_^

Sometimes being nonhuman feels like this:
