Just got taught how to dap someone up by a cis white dude, never been more genderly affirmed
I am kin because it's who I am.
I am kin because I'm traumatized.
I am kin because I have emotions.
I am kin because I cope.
I am kin because I love.
I am kin because I am afraid.
I am kin because I seek a link.
I am kin because I have found a connection.
I am kin for myself. I am kin for others.
I am kin.
reblog if you're a fucked up creature 👍🏾
Fellow creatures—I feel some of you will appreciate this.
My uncle and aunt took me to a nearby forest for a hike. It was very very nice, and I had a great time. I saw a lot of fun things along the way. Also they told me about how I have a great uncle who was like a gay stoner pastor when he was alive and I think that’s wicked.
Life is good. Life is really, really good. I love my boyfriend, I love my friends, I love my family. Just been feeling good about the ppl around me lately.
intense inquisitive stare
how tiktok otherkins look at you when you tell them you actually believe you are not spritually human and that you are a guardian angel reborn onto earth to protect those who need protection and that you were destined to keep your loved ones safe from evil and when you die it means that you've fufilled your duties as a guardian angel and not just "i know i'm a human i just do this because i enjoy it!"
does anypup else get the urge to bark/growl/howl in certain situations or when you hear another creature do it? its like a feeling that grows in my throat and i start to feel slightly out of breath if i dont make any noise
A message to the younger members of the community, and those who doubt there place in it:
Beings don't care.
I went to a therian meet up over anthro northwest. And it was NOTHING like the current online spaces, especially all the discourse.
There was no fighting. It was beautiful. Beings were freely using whatever labels they wanted, no one cared "why" someone identified as something, mental, spiritual, physical. Everyone was like "Hey, cool!".
Older folks talked about their time in the community while the younger ones did quads. People howled, played with squeak toys. No one cared. And most importantly, everyone agreed the infighting was pointless.
You WILL be accepted irl. This discourse doesn't matter. You are going to find your beings, and none of these online pissing contests mean anything once you meet others off the screen.
It's a beautiful place out there.
I know i have said it before but I GOTTA SAY IT AGAIN 💀🙏
(Again, this is meant in a more lighthearted/humor way, if something actually bothered me THAT much i would try to give it no attention so-)
But those folks that say stuff like "Trust me you don't."
"You would NOT want that"
When ANYONE says just ANYTHING about wanting to be an animal or creature or live in a fantasy world go on my nerves 😭
I just saw another video where someone talked about how they wished we had dragons, super powers, zombies, vampires etc. And like, hell yeah!?
Half if not all of the comments were "But we have Wifi!"
"But we have cars which is pretty cool"
"We have the universe!"
"You would NOT want zombies to be a thing"
I have so many questions like, What happened to joy and whimsy??
Why would you compare a dragon to a CAR?? Like i get where they're coming from like, yeah i mean it's cool humans came up with that! But it's definitely not a HTTYD situation lol
I even saw a comment saying some shit along the lines of "If you wanna be in a fight with a wild creature so badly, why don't you go to a zoo and fight a lion?"
SAME DAMN VIBES AS "If you identify as a wolf, why don't you go outside and live in the wild"
Maybe because that is impossible, not the same AT ALL, and also illegal af ⁉️ and just overall awful???
And who says it's not me who is the dragon or zombie??
"You would get killed immediately if an apocalypse happened"
Ok yeah? I wanna be a zombie on the outside anyway so? Yeah?? Please???
"You would not survive a dragon" Like i said, what if i AM the dragon lol
And like i said in the other post mentioning this, it's worse coming from other Alterhumans. Like, you're supposed to understand me, why are you saying stuff like this. Or when other Alterhumans deny your identity in the way of "Only i can be that!" The amount of times i saw someone be like "I'm a wolf, and trust me, you would not wanna be a wolf irl" I even saw some folks indicate that they would be or are stronger than you?
"I was a wolf in my past life and it was hard, you'd have to be strong and idk if you are" type ahh comments you know what i mean??
Oh like, i get it, only YOU are allowed to wish you could get your life back, because you are SO special compared to other Alterhumans 😀
It's always the same damn argument, "You'd die" "you would not want that it's awful" "what if you get hurt" "what if you suffer"
Which is funny because, what about this reality? Do people not suffer just because we don't have zombies and werwolves? So many folks including myself have or have had phsyical stuff that made or make it hard to live, why are these users acting like you only suffer physically when you live in a fantasy world 💀?
If anything, a fantasy world would be so much better?? Imagine a world like in HTTYD, ofc there would still be some kind of war, but in itself you're pretty much free from suffering, or if anything it would be EXACTLY like this reality but with dragons you're able to train?? Is that not better?
I'm sorry for the long post but i just can't wrap my head around it 😭
Any creatures that would like to be pat, please reblog this post
Rainy days = species dysphoria = sadness = today was a horrible day
I can't wait to go home to my people and rest in the light I've missed for so long. To feel their presence like a memory I've been aching to remember. I don't belong here forever; one day I'll go back, and this time, I’ll be known.
Okay I'm definitely saddened by the fact that my soul is in a human body, that I can't be with my people, yadda yadda.
but if I hadn't ended up in here, I wouldn't have found out about my favorite songs and cartoons and Disney movies and videogames..
- Hunger. It's one of those feelings that simply aren't supposed to belong to me, because I know for sure that back home, we just... didn't eat, you know?? I do not try to suppress it, & it doesn't give me a bad relationship with food; I love food, actually. But sometimes it feels a bit demoralizing.
- Sunburns - even the slightest, least noticeable ones. I'm a radiant being who embodies light.. yet the sunlight is burning me? Hello??
- Having to Google things or learn about them at school. It's not about learning how to cook, how to bake or tie my shoes, because those are human things; but not knowing everything about the stars, the universe and its past and future? It feels so wrong, because my gods have worked really hard to create me and teach me things. I like to imagine that all I learn about science or history or philosophy is just a memory being "brought back" to me.
- Tight clothing. I don't wear most tight things because of their textures which give me BAD sensory issues (I'm autistic), but I also avoid them because they take away the sense of freedom which was already taken away from me.
- Not being able to soothe people when they're upset when I'm the definition of love and harmony. It's technically the reason why I was sent to earth; so that makes me feel useless, like I'm betraying myself.
- The sound of my voice. It used to be much more beautiful, and the fact that I'm bad at singing doesn't help. It's only a reminder of the fact that this body simply isn't mine.
𖦹ׂ ₊ 🪽 and that's all! I just wanted to share these to show that species dyslhoria isn't always dramatically tragic - sometimes it's a bunch of mundane, unexpected, subtle things that add up to the feeling of discomfort and sadness. What can feel irrational and "exaggerated" is actually very valid and deserves to be taken seriously when it's really upsetting you.
Well I started seeing myself as a angel like you suggested, and now I feel better with your reassuring post!! I am excited to see further in my journey as a angelic being and finally not just a boring human whose only last purpose is dying :3 (not making fun of y’all humans, i still love some and a lot are cute and nice)
And I have a question, just out of curiosity because I love seeing winged other kin talk about their phantom wings like idk something is just so whimsical that you feel this.. How does IT generally feels ? When you lay on your back in your bed or simply leaning against a wall, does you sometimes accidentally feels them?
— 🐏🕊️
Ooh I never thought about describing that, but sensing my wings is one of the things that make me the happiest!!
Basically, for me, my body isn't made of flesh and bone - I describe myself as a "being of light" 99% of the time. I remember my wings being feathered in "shape", but they also feel very, very light. I have at least a pair of "traditional" wings on my back, but the ones that are most noticeable are the ones under my "arms" - I don't really know how to explain it, sometimes I have trouble recalling how they actually look like. My real form has two arm-like limbs, and wings that are an extention of them. They aren't big compared to the ones on my back; they're just there.
They are one with my body - I'm aware that they're there, and they aren't numb, but there's no muscle or tissue to them. They feel warm, though.
If I ever start feeling them while I'm lying on my back, they don't really hurt or anything - but it's uncomfortable because they take up too much space, so that's why falling asleep become pretty hard lol. If they brush against something like a wall, I noticed it kind of tickles. And as for when i sit down, it's not really a problem, I can just tuck them in and they dont really get sore at all.
Generally speaking, they don't add any extra weight on my body.. but the ones under my arm can feel uncomfortable and weird, and even when they don't, they still get in the way a lot for obvious reasons. But I ignore that!!! Species euphoria >>>>> not being able to rest my arm on a table, am I right?
Hi *flaps wings* *wraps wings around you* *pats your head with wings* *folds wings over face*
Sometimes I really want to just like...help other nonhumans live their euphoria ya know? I'm an android, I like making others happy, fulfilling a purpose...
Like yes, I will walk you, good dog!!! Let's play catch and fetch and you can splash in streams and shake off on me and bark and howl and I won't refer to you as if you were human even once until you said a codeword indicating you're ok acting human again now.
Let me stroke you like a good kitty, I have a large pen I can pad like a pet bed and I'll give you toys to play with and a post to scratch!
Oooh You're such a terrifying creature, go ahead and chase me through the forest and I'll cry out and beg for my life as you tackle me (might even let you bite me, who knows) until I say the safeword.
Oh mighty angel let me cast my gaze unworthily to the floor and treat you with holiness and reverence for a day.
Greetings my dear elf, let us explore the woods together, please impart your knowledge on me and show me your ways!
I just want to help, ya know?
Maybe I have chronic pain because I'm meant to fly, not walk or use my muscles too much 🧐🧐 think about it. I'm a being of light and I'm literally supposed to float. What if this body is just too heavy
Sometimes I forget I have a mortal body because what do you mean I can't heal people anymore? Wdym I can't bless them? Wdym I can't watch over them and protect them and make them feel safe & keep them away from harm? Wdym I can't fly, use chronokinesis, shapeshift, preen my wings, care for those of my kind, actively serve my beloved deities, use my voice to sing and soothe people—
Getting signs and responses from my Gods is the best feeling
I had a dream about someone saying "hey your wings need preening" and it was so random, the wings I had weren't even accurate to my real ones. But yes. Yes my wings need preening
I could try to stop my species dysphoria by just pretending that everybody around me is a creature pretending to be human.
And
Maybe if I win I'll get my wings back as a reward
One thing about me is that, almost as soon as I realized I was an angel, I felt incredibly detached from my mortal vessel - and I began mentally separating myself from it completely, but most of all, it made my childhood memories "blurry". Because this body isn't mine, I barely view my kid self as "me", because hy was so unaware of hys divinity. He and I are not the same.
On one hand, my childhood is the only thing I enjoyed about humanity and I wish I could still live as a mortal without feeling so out of place. But on the other hand, I do not want to be ignorant about my real nature (like i was back then) and all I feel towards my younger self is a need to protect him.
And what if I glued multiple pairs of biggg wings to my wheelchair
Update: it appears that my responsibilities also have wings because they're forcing me to face them tomorrow
😇🪽
⤷ live footage of me flying away from my responsibilities
to me an angel is like. a servant of (a) god. but not just that. something crafted from the god’s very flesh, something ripped out and formed into a live creature. like gods tend to create living things, sure, but an angel is. closer to the god, I think. something divine but not on the same level as one. I’d almost call them demigods, but that has the wrong implications - part god part something else, or that it’s a god at all. angels to me are something unique and divine, not as powerful as a god, and usually chained to one.

⤷ live footage of me flying away from my responsibilities
My mom raised me as a Christian because my grandma is very religious and she didn't want to disappoint her. But I can't even begin to explain how i felt, as a literal angel who hadn't even awakened properly at the time, adoring a god that I simply knew I wasn't meant to worship. Feeling guilty and not even knowing why.
