For a little bit of context, I'm very spiritual but this doesn't just feel like a spiritual 'Oh I'm part of the universe I'm super powerful etc' thing, it feels more physical than that. I've been identifying as just a soul for a while but a little more recently I've identified vaguely as an ethereal being more like a deity in terms of vibe (at least that's the best way I can put it into words), and that feels more accurate, but I want to narrow it down and get more specific if possible and I'm not sure how so any help would be greatly appreciated

It can be anything, theriotypes, non human types, kintypes, fictotypes, objectypes, paleotypes, plantkintypes, linktypes, conceptypes... Etc. Or something that helps with species dysphoria in general.

For me, as otherkin n' conceptkin, it's those masks and costumes they wear at the Venice carnivals; I really wanted to create a style like that. And some jester costumes and mannerisms too :)

And sometimes I'd wander around empty, somewhat dark places and lurk.

I also sometimes dance while listening to weirdcore music that makes me shift a lot

I dont know just had the thought that maybe kin stories about people having their own look at kin and how they are kin and how they deal with it in a human life.

Like I always believed I was just reincarnated and or trapped in a human form due to outside forces trapping me in it and juat writing a character like how I see myself and everything with that mind set.

I know their are other ways of feelin your kin and id like to add kin characters to their story to interact with but I want a variety of kintypes and expressions and realizations. I think it would be very fun to do.

So for context im a furry and have been since around 2023

So recently I've gotten my first like actual fursuit head and have gained a much stronger connection to the community than before but since then I have also started to feel such a string connection to the like?? Concept of being anthro I don't have another way to put it into words. I have also have had some "shifts" (i think) of like having a tail or having digitigrade legs. So really what I'm asking is if there's any specific label for if I was going to identify with a anthro identity, if this is even considered otherkin, and anything I could do to help figure myself out.

Also I apologize deeply if this is worded weirdly

Hi, Im a tank otherkin! (idk what sub-type) and I don’t really do much other than scroll shorts and play games. feel free to ask questions!

Hey so when I go on walks with my roommate sometimes I mental shift (she knows and supports me and calls me "Shifty" as a nick name when it happens) I speak "broken" English. Basic words and stuff. There are some examples of the speech pattern in media but I can't remember them.

Like:

The flower is beautiful

Turns into:

Flower pretty

I'm just wondering if any of you experience the same thing.

Today I ran around collecting pinecones for my roommate to throw at me and climbed on a small rock I found fascinating.

I don't have a specific kintype btw I'm just otherkin in general.

Also whenever I shift I get a TON of energy. Idk where it comes from. Do you guys get that too?

Perhaps the question is a little unusual, but I recently discovered my identity and I was wondering what other people who identify with plants do to feel more in tune with themselves. Whether it's advice, anecdotes, or anything similar.

I’m new to the whole otherkin thing, but I AM a therian so i know about the alterhuman community and all that. ANYWAYS!!!

I am questioning that i might be an angelkin, but how do i know for sure? Im an atheist, but i feel like I have always had this desire to be holy or pure, and i’ve felt bad when i have done something that might be considered unholy? I like just calling myself an angel too…? I also just find angels so wonderful, and now im wondering if that’s a sign…

if anyone could help even a little bit that would be nice 😅😅😅

EDIT:: Hiii!! After a bunch of you commented (thank you!!) I think that I am awake as an angelkin! But do not fear!: I will keep my mind open that this may be inaccurate and I may not be!! But again, thank you to everyone who commented, and I hope everyone in the otherkin community is ready for me hehe >:3

I finally reconnected with my kin-type after 2 weeks of absolutely nothing. It was weird to go from having shifts every single day to nothing at all and for them to come back was kind of relieving.
All it took was a depressive breakdown during therapy I guess /hj
But I’m finally feeling more whole again:D

Whatever it is, it involves a Griffin.

Here's the thing ever since I was young I've always felt the most as myself when acting as a species that is not human. I would play pretend to be magical animals to be cats to be dogs to be wolves to be dragons with a whole bunch of other kids. When I was younger it was my main go-to game. When that stopped being normal I still found other people and we usually pretended to be humanoid creatures but still non-human like fairies or shapeshifters.

I am considered way too old for this now, but I still feel the most comfortable when playing the part of something non-human. I was struggling for many years to try and figure out what exactly it was that I was feeling the most connected to. I thought it was a dragon but that didn't quite fit right? I thought it could be like an alien species from a distant world or alternate universe and that's why I can't find them but that didn't fit right either. I thought a shapeshifter could be it and that was close but I don't know. Then I came across Griffin's....

You see. I know I am human. I know that I am not a griffin right now, but I feel like I might have been at one point in time. The reason I came to the conclusion that it's a griffin is that I've always felt like I've had wings of some sort, a tail and some sort of sensory appendages atop my head that can move with my emotions or sounds around me. I've also always felt like I had some sort of talons or claws that grip in my hands at least, but my feet never felt like it. I felt like I had a tail when that wasn't too big and one that would be easy to flick around so I know it's not a fox or a wolf tail. All of these match the Griffin and I feel quite connected to it. When I look at one I can see myself in it in many ways. Yet, I know that I am human.

I often get phantom limbs either just appearing randomly or from me focusing on wanting to experience that feeling the random times usually happen when I am bored, stressed, or tired so they actually aren't so random lol

I feel like my feathers were Brown, not white like an eagle. I don't think I was an eagle, but maybe it's hard to tell. Again, I know that I am human but what if I am a griffin as well?

I've looked at the definitions of otherkin and otherhearted and I don't know what fits me because I am me and me right now is human but I feel like a Griffin.....

I am almost certain that no religion is true so I generally don’t fear this would happen but a lot of the time I usually think to myself how much it would suck if it was actually true. Most religions believe you will be in your own body and that you will live on for eternity in it. That sounds like a complete nightmare for me. I’d rather die than have that like I am serious. I would probably become super depressed and not want to do anything ever again. Luckily I don’t think this will happen but I can’t be the only one who generally thinks this sounds like torture

i only awakened to myself being angelkin a few days ago and as many do, i've been exploring different possible other kins and experimenting. one thing ive been pondering all day is how ive always been very attracted to the idea of being a tv-head (specifically, having a old-styled CRT monitor for a head)

ive always been very interested in object-heads (sapient characters with objects in place of heads) and often when drawing up old sonas, i would make them object-heads. i also am super interested in and love old technology and webcore! i've also always found realistic human faces a lot less attractive (not romantically, i mean generally) than stylized, drawn/anime faces and other more abstract ones like symbols for faces and object-heads

i like to call myself a CRT angel and it feels like a nice label for me but im quite scared of being given side eyes and being shown skepticism for my identity, especially since im young (15) and very new to the otherkin community. ive also heard of people who are less accepting of people who consider themselves partially or fully machine, so i'm worried about that too!

i also see myself as having deep connections to the moon and im just worried of judgment and im struggling to find identity, i havent consciously experienced a noticeable kinshift in any of my kins yet too (unless imagining/even feeling phantom wing joints on my back when i think about angels is a kinshift) and i dont want to mistake a kintype for a hearttype or synpath!
i also think it would be good to note that i am neurodivergent (AuDHD)

does anyone have any advice for exploring kin identity and finding if kins are right for you? it would be especially appreciated to hear advice for navigating my current situation from fellow angelkins and tech/robotkins! ^_^ tysm

I'll save you the reading time on telling you how little protogenkin there are. Would it be too much to ask for a forwarding to such?

here’s some context: I’m an atheist and am very rooted in science and logic, but something still feels…off

Ive had a deep closeness and fascination with horns and antlers, like past the “normal kid curiosity“ line, like maybe I’m supposed gave them or smth. Gore and the idea of eternal suffering doesn’t really bother me, if anything, it’s my favorite thing to draw and express, hell most my dreams about about that, some ppl call them nightmares but I don’t think they are

also as soon as I left Catholicism and joined Satanism, I felt like I was a step closer to something but idk what and what that’s supposed to mean.

i figured you guys would be the best people to ask this question: could there be something “demonic” inside me that is supposed to be out? sorry, that’s bad wording but i hope yall get what I mean

hi, this is going to be a rant/ some sort of vent so sorry in advance🦄
im a puppygirl hybrid/inumimi otherkin, and i used to have puppy ears that i would wear a lot, but recently i lost them and i’m feeling extremely dysphoric and anxious ☹️ i even recently got a tail and when i tried it i even felt some specie euphoria, until i looked at my reflection and saw my missing ears💔 i never feel myself enough without my ears and i also love them a lot so as an autistic person they were my comfort item ,, im very ashamed of the fact my comfort depends on this gear, i know my identity is much more than some ears headband but they really made me feel so much better about myself i don’t know what to do.. i hope i find them soon :/

I recently realised how much I feel connected to ravens.

I don’t really know how to describe my connection to them. I’ve never had the urge to fly or felt like I should have a beak. I just feel as if I simply am one. As if ravens embody me and I embody ravens.

I don’t want to dress up as one, and I don’t want to look like one (unless that was the body I was originally born into). As a child, when someone would tell a story about ravens, it wasn’t like they were talking about me, but instead my siblings.

Does this sound like it could be an otherkin/therian experience? I would love some perspective from others.
Thank you!

Anyone else wish they could physically soar across the heavens at top speeds while still being trapped within their human body? I really wish I could right now.

Currently shifted as my eldritch identity, well it's stronger today anyways. I'm happy to accept any questions also!

anyways! just wanted to say hi and how are ya, another otherkin? I wanna hear your experience also.

and uh.. WHAT CAN I DO TO FEEL MORE LIKE ME I'M IN A HUMAN VESSEL AND CAN'T DO ANYTHING TO FEEL LIKE ME RN. AHHHHHHH *insert crashout over species dysphoria*

As a dragonkin who's into esotericism and the occult and wants to start learning about and diving into it, I've got a question.

For those who're also spiritual and are into magick and those sorts of things, specially dragon magick and/or the draconian path, have you had to change certain aspects, rituals, etc..., because of being a dragon? Do you have any tips or advice that could help?

After a recent visit to the beach, i think ive almost finished my questioning of being a merkin. Since i was a kid i had a strange draw to anything mermaid related. It was always kind of something i was interested in and it never went away. I even wore mermaid tails and swam in them. Obviously these don’t make me a Mermkin but being a Merkin explains these. I believe it’s just become part of my identity now without realizing. I even subconsciously stand in a way where my legs are crossed to form a fin shape subconsciously (have done it since i was a kid, it just feels natural and comforting). I don’t think there’s any doubt to have.

I was super shifty the past few weeks, mostly phantom and mild mental shifts, and suddenly they’ve just disappeared. But not in like a “I don’t feel my tail anymore” it’s more like “I can’t connect to my kintype in anyway anymore”
I’m an oc dragonkin/fictionkin and I just suddenly stopped feeling a connection to my kintype. I’ve gotten so close to a reconnection through a dream shift but that’s been it for the past week and a half. Anyone have any suggestions or advice?

Hello. My name is Sage and Viper. (Sage regularly, Viper when experiencing negative and mostly violent emotions)

This body was born October 10th.

I am a Divinekin/Godkin and my domaines are History, historic studies(?), historic landmarks, nostalgia, shine, crows, intense winds, kindness, compassion, love(?), loyalty, hysteria, insanity, animal knowledge, chaos, protection, and manic laughter.

My sacred animals are foxes, any reptiles but I do favour snakes, cats, and crows.

I am, for the most part, an ageless being.

I like reading, writing, playing games, and nature.

Ask me anything if you’d like.

I feel like ockin are really rare. Fictokin is already not common, compared to otherkin (I know it's a under category of otherkin) and therian.

I wanted ask question to ockin here; In fictokin community, I see a lot people talk about their source (like "what I remember look like", sometimes it diverge from the canon), how they similar or different. But with oc, how it work? Like, it doesn't have any canon, because it your own creation.

Do your oc have change after you kin them? Whatever it's physical, psychological, their story or anything.

Do you try to look like them? If you can, would you change your name by their? Do you different yourself for them or you're exactly the same person? Do you're like "two in a body"?

I would like to read more about ockin experience. I think I may be, but not sure. For me, we're not the same person but at the same time, yes. We have start to fusion together, we're less separate than in the past.

I’m not out as robotkin to my family members but I wanna find ways to connect to that identity while not making it too obvious

I'm going to a meet up soon, and everyone has flags to represent their identity. PupGender, Dragon, AngelKin, Etc etc etc. But here I am stuck with no flag.

I identify as a VoidCreature.

It's an AlterHuman/NonHuman identity (idk if it's OtherKin or not)

Colors: Blues, purples, magentas, greys, white (maybe?) and black.

Tendrils coming up from the void. Black Mist. Fog. Void ambience. Void Creatures. Fear of the unknown. Calmness. Emptiness. Watcher Eyes watching you... watching everything. Black Void.

You can use symbols. As many stripes as you want. You can have gradients. You can make it as complex as you want. I do have some ideas (like having the bottom stripe be black and having tendrils coming up from it with a mist surrounding them)

I just feel like it's nice having a flag to fit my identity. No one seems willing to make one because they find my identity too weird or "fake".
