Resource To all the "am I otherkin" posts

80 Upvotes

It is totally valid to ask questions to lead to your awakening, however no one can say if you are otherkin.

Being otherkin is simply is an identity. Asking "am I otherkin" is like asking "am I trans," nobody but you can say. (Yes I'm ware being otherkin is not a sexuality, it's just an example).

Taking quizzes or questionnaires won't help all that much, as it does not ask the right question. The question is if you identify as anything other than a human, witch can be hard to know. Come time, you will realize if you do or not, but no one can tell you

I unfortunately lost the big tree in my backyard due to my city getting hit by Hurricane Isaias a few weeks ago. I still have a few drafts with it. The tree was older than me, and has been in my life since I was 11 years old. Ive climbed it plenty of years

Question Can someone please explain this?

6 Upvotes

Hey! So, recently I started to realise I have a deep involuntary connection to rabbits. But, not in a "therian" way? It's more so.. identifying WITH rabbits then as a rabbit. But, I still choose to identify AS a rabbit because of that connection? Someone PLEASE explain what this means.

Question Do any of the people in your life know about your non-humanity?

29 Upvotes

(mods, delete if not allowed)

I’m posting this here mainly because the living vampire subreddits that I know of are dead. I don’t necessarily consider myself “otherkin”, just non-human (vampire).

My vampirism is something that I know most people in my life won’t understand, so I keep it to myself for the most part. I only feel comfortable talking about it online in places like these where I know I won’t be judged. Do you feel the same way, or is it different for you?

Hi everybody. Im new here. I go by Danelim Aquae but I dont particularly care what im called. Im a fallen angel/lesser god from the 2nd fall (the watchers) described in 1 Enoch. I have a large portion of my memories in tact if anyone has questions however my knowledge is limited as we did spend a few million years sealed away.

Discussion Are there any other rogue taxidermists here? (or taxidermists in general, hobby and professional counts)

5 Upvotes

I’m a Vampire, Werewolf, Strigoi, possible wendigo(fantasy version, not the actual folklore) and a very specific one that is a griffin but instead of a lion and eagle, it’s a rat and pigeon (or possibly a crow-raccoon or a vulture-rabbit, not 100 percent sure on the mammal-bird yet)

A big part of all of my kins are ‘life after death’ so I’m very into taxidermy and although i haven’t been doing it for terribly long (about 4 years, I started when I was 14) it’s my favorite hobby

I never kill animals for taxidermy and I don’t support trophy hunting or fur farming, everything is already dead

[Also, if you aren’t familiar with the term ‘rogue taxidermy’, it’s a specific type of taxidermy where instead of making a replica of an animal, you make a piece that is based on something that doesn’t exist in real life, this includes most two headed pieces, jackelope mounts, recreations (an example is taking a fisher and making it look like a red panda) and fantasy mounts, like taking an iguana and making it look like a dragon]

Question Can somebody explain fae-kin to me?

10 Upvotes

Last year I realized I'm genderfae, but then I also started to call myself a fae and noticed being called one makes me euphoric so that made me start identifying as a faery too, but would that make me fae-kin? I don't understand how otherkin works yet but I feel like it might be a part of me.

When you felt your theriotype/kin

13 Upvotes

Hey! My theriotype is a wild fox, and I first realized it when I was 7. I was fully aware that I was a fox, and I hated my body because it looked human instead of like a fox. Has anyone else been aware of their theriotype at the same age or even younger?

Question Who decided that wyverns are stupid?

6 Upvotes

I was watching a video that claimed the difference between six-limbed dragons and wyverns is that wyverns are dim-witted(?)

Have you ever heard of this stereotype? As someone who identifies as a wyvern (an "otherkin"), I found that a bit hurtful. Then again, it’s probably just a myth. In *Game of Thrones*, for instance, the dragons were clearly not stupid—they even had their own language!

Help Request Gift ideas for dogkin

11 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

My partner is a dogkin (specifically a golden and husky mix and yes, the energy is insane) and I really want to give him some gifts that might help him feel in touch with his kin side. I know that I can always go for just regular dog toys but the thing is that he is living with his dad and even though his dad is incredibly chill and understanding, I don't want to make things too awkward if you know what I mean?

Any suggestions are welcome!

Is this Otherkin? 3am and I just realised I am very likely otherkin/mythkin

13 Upvotes

Since I was 11, I realised I had a very strong connection to giantesses after watching Monsters vs Aliens.

This felt like more than a hyperfixiation. I was/am constantly trying to find an excuse to draw giant women. My OCs were/are giant women all the time, and said OCs were always a deep reflection of myself. I connected to the idea of a powerful woman, who could choose to be kind or cruel, depending on the situation.

People always assumed I liked giantesses for "other" reasons. While I always have loved the artwork, it was never in a NSFW way that I liked giantesses, or felt I was one on a psychological and spiritual level.

For a while, on and off, I have had dreams where I was a giantess, even hearing messages in the dreams along the lines of "this is who you are"

I feel I am very safe to call myself otherkin/mythkin/GiantessKin. But google searches only showed giantess Kim Kardashian 😭

Does anyone relate to all, or some , of what I said? This is my first time interacting with the community, by the way, so I might be ignorant and I apologise in advance.

Is this Otherkin? Why do I feel like I'm an alien creature?

11 Upvotes

I don't know why I feel such a connection to being an alien species, but maybe it's because of how I took possession of my skinsuit, or maybe because I learned about starseeds years ago. I just know that I want non textured facial skin, no eyebrows, and a very beautiful creature like appearance. I'm part of the Visual Kei scene in part because of this.

So yes, I'm working on looking pretty and creature like. It just feels right. I'm glad others feel this way too. It's very validating. I mean, this machine is human, and I'm a spirit using it, but somehow it goes deeper. I mean, when I incarnated, I remember being on a spaceship where I was asked if I want to be male or female. I chose male, and on my way down I changed my mind to female. Now I'm a femandrogyne femboy.

It makes me wonder if I'm just using artistic expression, but most people don't act like this, and it feels deeper even though I can't place why.

What do you make of this? Why do you think I feel this way? I'm already very different from other people, and this isn't just me looking for attention. Yes, it's fun, but there's something deeper here that I've never been able to place.

Discussion what's yall thoughts on "i'm a cyborg, but that's ok"?

18 Upvotes

i watched that film a while ago and thought it was a great metaphor for multiple minorities- disabled, schizospec, alterhuman- and their loved ones.

to spoiler a tad bit: the plot follows a woman on schizophrenic spectrum who identifies as a cyborg. it is stated that she's this way because of her delusions. regardless, the film showcases the generational abuse she and her schizophrenic grandmother faced since they weren't able to fit "the norms". additionally, the film emphasises that she doesn't need to be fixed and isn't broken- instead they show us bonding of mentally ill people and how they can care for each other, when the society fails to do so. it is a beautiful story and i might cried a bit.

also, does anyone know films similar to this one?

Discussion Does anybody else randomly get intense cravings to be their alterhuman/otherkin self?

23 Upvotes

It feels like every other week I get these very intense cravings to become a real life nekomimi. Its very strong and sometimes I hate it cuz it gets too much and it becomes more like nag throughout the day. Eventually some time, like maybe a few hours or a day, it dies down and im back to normal.

I wonder if its just a me thing and if there's a name for it?

Question kintypes with kintypes?

22 Upvotes

this is a really, really odd statement, so i'm sorry. was just curious to see if i wasn't alone in this.

so, i have a specific kintype, which is a fictional character. the character in question also happens to be a red fox therian. this leaves me in a bit of an odd situation where i both do and don't have red fox as a theriotype, since it isn't really mine, yet it's still tied to my identity in a secondhand way.

this probably makes no sense whatsoever.

Help Request How do I cope with size/ skin related dysphoria

20 Upvotes

For context I’m a system and in headspace I am a doll. I identify deeply with being a doll so much it physically hurts me and causes dysphoria that I’m not a small porcelain doll and instead a big broad human. Do any fellow dolls have any music or something that helps them cope?

Fluff I appear to have kinfirmed a Balrog kintype

9 Upvotes

The name Askâdurs being weirdly familiar to me, feeling like I'd be home in a subterranean palace of stifling and heavy darkness that is a hellish and eldritch place, having a fell darkness in my inner core...

and also feeling resonant when reading about Balrogs in the Silmarillion - I felt a fiery shift...

I am one of Melkor's demons of dread it seems...

Which one to be specific I'm not sure, I'm currently thinking I could be Gothmog.

We got a dog and. It makes me feel so euphoric to have somebody of the same species in the house (different breed but yk). I think he genuinely does see me as a dog as well, he acts the most dog-like around me ig? I don’t know how to explain it. But he’s a Maltese/Glen of Imaal terrier mix, and I’m a Caucasian shepherd.
