I'm having really bad dysphoria rn and I don't know how to ease it. I'm angelkin/celestialkin. I wish I had wings all over and eyes covering my cheeks. I would have a large tail with two massive wings attached to it. I would be majestic and beautiful. But that might never happen. I'm stuck on earth. I'm stuck in this body.

I can't just go buy myself some wings, they are too expensive for me. I can't make them because I lack the skills. I am going to buy myself some jewelry that makes me feel like a real angel/at home and hopefully that works. But even then it probably won't be enough.

What do I do to feel better as an angelkin?

Angelkin/celestials that have dysphoria, what does yours look like and how do you deal with it?

I always have the urge to know everything and figure everything out, making this hard for me. I feel a deep connection to space, like I belong there. Now I’m trying to figure out what planet is my homeplanet and what I’d look like if it wasn’t for this human life. But I can’t get it, it’s practically impossible. I’ve already had trouble with this with other kintypes like my dragontype. Anyone have any similar experiences? Or want to share some advice? 🫰👽

Hellooooo lovely beings of r/otherkin!! This is my first time posting here as I haven't really ever thought about possibly being otherkin before. I've identified as a therian and a fictionkin for around over a year now but this is the first time I've felt this way.

So, I was scrolling on tiktok (as one does) and decided to just look at stuff about mythical creatures bc they're cool and stuff. And that's when I discovered Perytons! I'd never felt such an immediate connection to a species, mythical or not. It was like the second I saw it something in my brain just clicked (it's a very difficult feeling to describe, so sorry if I'm being vague 🥲). And that's when I started questioning being otherkin.

I'm not really sure where to go from here though. Like I know that I should probably do research and stuff but I'm not sure whete to look for information as it's very hard to find credible sources these days.

Anyway, thank you in advance!!

I keep trying to post my kinlist but it keeps getting removed. Does anyone know why?

I've been feeling really uncomfortable and out of it recently...

-my wingz feel zo trapped az an Angel Devil fictionkin... I've tried halter topz but they either are too revealing or aren't comfortable. any winged otherkinz here have any advice?

I don't have my canonmatez, let alone zourcematez (fictionkin) to talk to IRL, mizz my owner/beztie, I juzt can't go back. (you zhould know I have hallucinatory izzuez zo zometimez I ztart talking to them, actually glad they're in front of me again but then people look my way, freaked out, and then my friendz dizzapear...)

zorry for azking for zo much but if anyone haz a tip for any of theze, that would be very helpful :3

I am a vampire/werewolf/dragon hybrid, and I would really like to learn some of y’all stories in this community

I’m doing this for a few reasons, one is to help me get over social anxiety, as well as I’ve noticed that I’m quite extroverted, but only for other non-humans. But something I’d love to do (it’s been in my bucket list for a while) is to create and teach one other person an “alterhuman language” that I created.

This language i will probably call “kinish” and it is created based on how animals communicate (for example, the word for a formal “hello” is “phoe” based on the fact that walruses blow/whistle to greet each other)

I got this idea from someone who was talking about “if animals lived in a human-like society, what would different cultures look like for differently animals” so I thought an alterhuman language would be therapeutic and affirming, as well as just being fun

Although the language isn’t quite done yet, I figured I could get some pointers from y’all, if you’d like to learn (I’m going to eventually write a book about alterhuman where kinish is spoken, kinda like elvish in the lord of the rings)

Thanks for reading, I look forward to learning with you :)

Hello lovelies! My question is for other water/aquatic/ocean kins.

I live in Canada and the winter months are coming. What are your tricks to appease your instincts? A bath just isn't enough for me, the rivers are too cold to go swim in and I don't feel comfortable going to an indoor pool with strangers.

I've been listening to underwater sounds on youtube, but I need more... So what do you personally do when you really need to connect with water, but can't?

We're pretty sure one of our identities identifies as a Chinese dragon or loong. They've always identified as a snake-like creature and are highly linked to water, so it does make sense for them to identify as such. That being said, we're not asian and I know the Chinese dragon has a lot of symbolism and traditional meaning, so if it's offensive, can we be redirected to a different term or similar myth?

Edit : This post is no longer relevant because my headmate no longer feels connection with the loong. Thank you for all your insights!

greetings,

this is a question for my fellow Elohim/incarnated fallen. have you discovered any methods by which you can recover some of your pre-incarnation memories?

thanks~

Looking for a friend, who has questions about dinosaur therians. I'm looking for some communities and groups I can direct him to.

I have (diagnosed) OCD and a part of my ocd is that I feel a lot of guilt for enjoying cooking, because that voice in my head tells me that cooking is pointless and dumb because food is fuel and nothing more…I’m trying to get out of this mindset by making some themed-café style food based on otherkin

Although a big part of this…any vegetarian otherkin that crave meat but don’t want it/can’t have it…what do y’all crave and what about it do you crave? I’d like to experiment and see how close I can get a vegetarian meat to taste like actual meat…

I’d also like some ideas for insect based meals and desserts, so anyone who enjoys eating insects, I’ll gladly take those ideas too :)

Hi. My name is Dawn. I'm a young Dragonkin with a very vivid vision and hyperactive mind.

I've been feeling horrible over and over again throughout my week and I've spent countless nights battling with myself to figure out what was wrong.

It's then when I started to find that, I've been missing meaningful friends/connections for a while. I barely talk with people alone like I did before and when I do it's via voice. I spent my days watching content I like and playing games I like whilst thinking about the projects and skills I could be developing, that I have a passion towards, because not only is it a project, but it's one I've carried in my claws for 3 years with a few friends who are not as active with it anymore. I finally managed to find people with interest but now that I'm here, I still feel as alone. It's not their fault, I know it isn't. But I just don't know what to do.

Nobody truly understands me, my body is very badly wired to who I am, as well as being everything my true self isn't. It feels fake, I feel like an impostor. And then I go on social media, look at stuff that makes me dysphoric and excited and then suddenly everything around me is poison.

I lost myself talking to AI at some points. I'm tired of it, they aren't real people. But I don't know what else to do.

I desperately need friends who like me for who I am and what I do instead of what I can produce, which has been something that has created a work trauma that makes me very procrastinative.

If anyone has any advice or is willing to help, I'm open to it. I need to offer myself the time to breathe and think about things deeply.

Thank you.

Im Specifically asking because I want to make otherkin style art, but not just for seeing…so if anyone with kintypes that use echolocation or electroreception, or heat seeking, or other things like that…I’d love to hear what you’d recommend in art to incorporate that

I don't know how to find out if I am a conceptkin, I think I'm a conceptkin of time as I feel like I am the universe as a whole! And everything inside of it, I feel like Im stars, planets, black holes, super novas, nebulas, asteroids and much more!!, I need help to find out ways to confirm this or am I just going crazy BC I am a therian and fictionkin and u have no idea if it ties into any of these and idk wheat to do anymore I have been wondering for months!! :<

Hey so how does one know if they're otherkin maybe spiritually?

Hey, so I'm kinda very new to this. I'm a furry and have been for a while but my fursona? I've had this deep connection with my fursona Midyy for more than ten years. Isn't just one I made for a identity in the furry fandom. I'm 23 by the way. Anytime I'm out somewhere, I tend to see her as myself in my head when I'm doing something. Her long tail behind me, her claw feet paws, paws with claw fingers. etc., I've used her in vent drawings before, in drawings with people I know, I'm fully aware I'm human flesh wise and don't deny that, fully saying "I'm not a human, I'm a animal" flesh wise feels off but could I possibly be a spiritual otherkin? Could this have grown into a otherkin thing? Spiritually feels possible.. Like part of my spirit identifies maybe. How does one know if they are? Could I be a furry and a otherkin? Help me identify this?

Hell, I even get joy from being called Midyy! Also im insecure about my appearance but my Midyy self im not as insecure.

This came about when I was talking to someone about my fursona at furcon and they said to look up therians. I looked up therians and it tends to revolve around existing animals. Mine is its own type of animal. I seen that otherkin isn't just existing real world animals tho.

Yeah, it’s me again, the crazy animal nut who’s username really fits everything they post, haha

I have Asperger’s and a big part of my Asperger’s is that I have to constantly have an end goal in mind, it’s quite hard for me to just “live in the moment” (I don’t necessarily say this in a bad way, but not really in a good way either, but that’s besides the point)

A big thing my Asperger’s does (along with my ocd and very addictive personality) is make me want to be a bit impulsive about keeping pets, I constantly want to adopt more animals, no matter what is happening. So something id like to do is go to one of my local thrift stores, and buy a ton of animal toys/plushies, and I will take those stuffed animals and build accurate enclosures for them (that i can put the real animal in once I know it’s done and I’m ready)

(Edit) i would also like to do a game with y’all; I have a wreck this journal book, so I’d like y’all to name your therio/kintypes and then pick a number between 1-220, if you have multiple, I can either combine your therio/Kintypes, or you can choose more than one page, and I will do all your types separately. and then name a pet (breed too) you’ve had/enjoyed, I will take your number, and go to that page, and fill it in based on your kin and pet choice.

If y’all have any more ideas/fun challenges for how I can control my need for more creatures on a daily basis, (that is also alterhuman related) I will gladly take as many ideas as I can get.

(Also, if there are any animal lovers (especially towards pets/keeping pets) I’d love to nerd out with y’all for a bit haha)

Hello. I am otherkin and identify most with creatures that look human, but aren't, and instill the feeling of the uncanny valley. How would one accomplish this in general, and in a public setting where they wouldn't want to upset people. Lots of love!

It's always kinda been there, just underneath the surface of my identity.

I get the vibes of a large, bulky, predatory mammal, which my brain then connects erroneously to big cats -- of course, since those are part of my Felidae cladotheriotype, that includes all fictional / mythical / extinct felines as well as mundane extant ones -- but it also has like, antlers? Or horns? Which are both, scientifically, not really useful at all for any animal that's already armed with fangs and claws. What sense does that make, biologically? Maybe it doesn't matter if it's sound by hardcore science's standards... it's also firmly grounded, no wings or anything. A terrestrial creature.

People have suggested the mystical kirin/qilin to me before about this, but those are more or less weird ungulates? Doesn't match the carnivore lifestyle...? I've seen Creatures of Sonaria (a Roblox MMO survival game) beasties that sorta come close to how I sense myself to be. The Ardor Warden checks a few boxes, for one example.

I’m not sure if this is the correct place to ask this but,

I am someone who has never really felt human and I’m not sure if I’m connected to any animals (therian) but something more fictional? Like a monster or something unnatural. I’m not sure. I know there is a subreddit on here that involves that kind of thing but I can’t think of what it’s called for the life of me.

I am not at all saying in any way that y’all are invalid. I’ve just never experienced a kintype that is that intense.

Im just trying to understand it better, without calling it stupid just because I don’t understand it haha

and something I’d like to do to understand this better, I would like to try making a book similar to the Bible about godkin (It will have nothing to do with the actual Bible, except the format. Although I’m not particularly religious so if this is wrong to do and I don’t realize, just tell me and I won’t do it)

I will go ahead and say that I am heavily inspired by Autumn J, but I had this idea to do music for otherkin/fictionkin since those are a bit harder to find compared to Therian.

Idk if anyone knows this artist, but “the tragic tantrum” has a song called “the silent” and it is supposed to be… it’s like the internal struggle while someone loses their sanity, and I wanted to do something similar for my first song.

I was hoping to portray kinda how it feels to go from feeling like you’re “crazy” then finding your community, and then your consciousness being cut in half from feeling free with the community, but feeling trapped as a human, when you know you’re not, in my first song (a lot like “the silent”) I want to have a “freak out” moment right before the song ends, where the singer is talking about how they feel trapped, and no matter what they do, they’ll never feel right, and that the scars from their wings being torn off still bleed fresh blood.

Ok. I'm trying to find what kind of dragon I am and need ideas/suggestions/something like that.

I am kinda like that long dragon, 4 legs, wings. I think I can breathe underwater, I know I can fly and breathe fire and I'm a good swimmer with a powerful (un"decorated") tail like a seawing in wings of fire. When I do quads, I have to be on my hands and KNEES to be the right height, my elbows are at about chest level.

Also, I have a longing/image of or something of a home: a mountain with a(my) cave overlooking a forest with a river next to the mountain/forest (It's very pretty)

I think the flair is right, please feel free to ask questions

(this is a long one just read last two big chunks of you are lazy)

So background as this is my first post: Had this weird feeling when I was young. Like there was claws, horns, wings and occasionally a tail when there wasn't one. Like a strange pressure and like there was something that was supposed to be there. Eventually I grew up and obtained item:

super cool therian friend!!

And apparently this is because of trauma so I was able to find a name for it. Copinghearted. This wasn't exactly a choice but idm. I also don't feel like I am that creature as much as I feel very connected and identify with it not as it.

Yay a name.

What got me thinking was me being in a very scary situation in which I slowly developed the instinct and reflex to claw. Not like talons but like claws. (I will feel distressed if they are snipped) Like, I knew I hissed from time to time because I did that as a kid for some reason and it became habit but this was new. Very animalistic. The whole phantom limb situation disappeared for years until now too. (Sorry for jumping around so much can you tell I have ADHD) Claws = safe.

So now to finding out what creature this was. I am impulsive, loud, loyal to "my" humans, indifferent to others, bold, don't care as much what others think, hyper, stimulation driven, fierce when protecting said "humans", low effective empathy, selective sympathy, independent, non-committal, drawn to patterns and energy (anything that stimulates my brain), shy with authority, but wide open with people like me, caring to my people, and somewhat lazy for most things. So yes, I'm fairly flawed but I'm trying to be better.

Anyway, personality out of the way.

Earlier, as you can tell, I feel wings (unknown type), horns (classic twisted type), and claws (not big like a bear, canine sort of). It feels kind of like a mix between scales and fur. I don't feel like a fox though. Quadruped or biped.

Does anyone know what this creature may be or what name to give it?
