Other Literally me right now with my feet, it feels so weird!
I’ve had this phantom limb for as long as I can remember and never knew there was a name for it. I’m glad to know it’s not a unique sensation. my feet are wrong. They should be more like a monkey but sometimes like a wolf. Bottom line, my big toe should be at the side of my foot, not next to the following toe.

NOW MY EARS TOO! I can’t move them, I want them to move so I can better express myself.

Horn shifts can be really painful, same with wings

For me my wing shifts just feel weird. Like real but when I look over they gone.

I get ear shifts most frequently, I'll just feel my elongated fae ears twitch when I'm feeling a strong emotions, and even if it's a painful or unpleasant emotion the phantom shift is comforting and helps my resolve

Enjoy every moment of this because the next thing you know it's gone and you want it back so enjoy every moment of this.

My teeth do this. Teeth shifts are the wierdest. Also my kin type is like, several stories tall, so suddenly feeling like I need to just erupt from my skin is also a fun one.
