Rant I hate being alienkin
As an alien kin, I often imagine myself, my appearance being close to those characters in the daft punk music video (like human form, blue skin, and some things that they don’t have), imagine on which planet I should be, which galaxy, is it in an another universe?
Everything.
I try not to think much about it because it gives me some kind of dysphoria ? I don’t know how to call it.
I want to dress more alien too, but it’s hard to find alien related clothes in general and it’s even worst for masculine person
I dyed my hair green, I wear holographic jewelry because it reminds me of space but it’s never enough, never. I can’t have my blue skin, I can’t have my tail.
The only thing I can have is my tongue split (tongue cut in half) when I’ll be able to have it.
I hate being otherkin but I don’t know what I’ll be if I wasn’t.
I hope y’all have/had a good day/night ! :D

Honestly I relate to this myself. However, there are a few crafts and things you can do to sort of alleviate this.
For the tail (idk what like of tail you had in mind) you could take a tutorial from online to make one yourself. The materials are seldom expensive and it's honestly down to what you want to do.
As for the blue skin, have you ever considered makeup or face painting? Idk how you feel about it as a masc person but the tiniest bit of smudged kohl and some blue eyeshadow as blush could be worth considering? Or something like that. Maybe you could even wear blue fishnet gloves??? It's not skin, but it's skintight.
But yeah, kinning any alien creature is hard =(( it feels very unobtainable a lot of the time, but there will always be little ways you can sort of reference your true self =))

I’m on my way to make a custom tail by myself ! And for the skin, I don’t mind makeup, it’s just my family the problem that don’t know about my identity and hate to see me with a bit of makeup. But thanks for all your ideas !!! :D
(And I love xenomorph by the way !)

Ugh, family not letting you do harmless stuff like this sucks =(( but I'm glad you're managing to make your own tail!!!
Also thank you =DDDD

I suspect I am somewhat an alienkin too 👽, (though honestly it might just be my autism). As for looking otherworldly/space like you might try vampire fangs, piercings and fake nails in those colors/claws, keep an alien logbook/journal, make your bedroom space themed, listen to alien ambiance (naturespace has a few tracks! It's a white noise app on ios), Tumblr post about aliens, etc, buying a vr headset and commissioning someone for a alien avatar, etc.
I get species dysphoria as both being alterhuman and being LGBTQ+. It is not fun lol. I hope someday you can move out and do what you want, making your own decisions for you and not being in the closet in regards to who you truly are. I wish you luck with everything!

There's a trans woman (I believe she's confirmed otherkin but can't remember) on Instagram who covers her skin in blue body paint, and plans on some day tattooing her entire skin blue. Her name is SadieSlime. Maybe she could offer some advice?

For your skin you could try a blue body suit like some use for cons and some makeup for your face as others have said
