Memories of the Forestials

English

In the silence of the night,

Our tired eyes burn bright,

How hard it is for you and me

To make the world what it used to be.

 

Ringing rivers by the woods,

Sighing forests by the lakes,

Humans haven’t understood,

Burning life in their mistakes.

 

Native caves are cooling down,

Losing order, comfort, charm,

And new minds in crowded towns

Forge their chains, to our alarm.

 

No more wild and fearsome packs,

All nocturnal shrines are gone,

Alien deathland giving cracks,

Lifeless strongholds save no one.

 

But in darkness of my heart,

Burning fire is still alive.

My night is mixing up with light,

My day with starry blackness rife.

 

While I’m staying here with you,

Shimmering of stars will reach,

And between times, old and new,

I will build a sturdy bridge.

 

Decorate this world I will

With a pinch of years gone by,

So that friends remember still

What they’ve promised me and why.

 

I will mark the path of truth,

And I’ll spread my leather wings,

We can’t bring back our world,

So the new one’s to begin.

Russian

Вспоминания Лесных

Горят в тиши ночной

Усталые глаза.

Как трудно нам с тобой

Вернуть наш мир назад…

 

Теперь звенящих рек

И леса у озёр

Не любит человек,

Бросая жизнь в костёр.

 

Остыл родных пещер

Порядок и уют,

А новые умы

Оковы нам куют.

 

Нет больше диких стай,

И нет ночных святынь.

Чужим стал этот край

Безжизненных твердынь.

 

Но в сердце у меня

Ещё горит огонь –

Смешенье ночи дня

И светлости ночной.

 

И вот пока я здесь –

Не стихнет трепет звёзд,

А между всех времён

Сооружу я мост.

 

Украшу этот мир

Щепоткой прошлых лет,

Чтоб добрые друзья

Хранили свой обет.

 

Намечу верный Путь,

И крылья распахну –

Тот мир нам не вернуть,

Сначала я начну.

Do you remember those days, 
 so dear now they've gone, 
 when kin were like a family 
 and not so withdrawn? 
 And we didn't all agree, 
 we didn't all get along, 
 we squabbled, we fought, 
 but we kept going strong. 

There were glades of fae and satyrs, 
 who'd beckon you come in, 
 pixies who growled, while 
 dragons smiled and grinned. 
 What's changed over time, 
 and what's been the cost? 
 What have we gained, 
 and what have we lost? 

Lists weren't abandoned, 
 or deleted outright. 
 Folks didn't stop talking 
 over one little fight. 
 New kin weren't dissected, 
 like lab specimens, 
 to see if they're trolling or 
 if they're genuine. 

There were glades of fae and satyrs, 
 who'd beckon you come in, 
 pixies who growled, while 
 dragons smiled and grinned. 
 What's changed over time, 
 and what's been the cost? 
 What have we gained, 
 and what have we lost? 

Where are the satyrs, 
 space-elves and sidhe? 
 Brrrnn, multiples, 
 hosts and Tuatha DD? 
 And the cloak-winged dragons 
 who danced on the wind? 
 Do you think we'll 
 ever see them again? 

There were glades of fae and satyrs,

How to Accept Yourself in Your Current Life

Accepting Your Current Self -- Illustration

English

When we realize that we were once an intelligent being different from humans, we tend to drift away to those distant times when things were simpler and much different. This happens for two reasons: the previous body had a number of advantages over humans, and we simply already know how to live in that other body. Even in the same lifetime, we may have a more localized situation where, in the face of difficulties, we do all kinds of things to escape back to a carefree childhood. So the fierce rejection of the current body is the same thing, but on a slightly different level. Yes, we were once animals and other humanoids and maybe even nature spirits, but that doesn’t devalue the life we have now – it enriches it.

Think about it, you’re not just a human, you’re a human who grew up based on a beast/fairy/elf/dragon/whatever. That is, not just a human, but a human with an interesting foundation, which already makes you quite unique. Other people have grown up based on something else. Some are still quite young spiritually, and up until recently were something like an animal. Today they may be a petty thief on the streets, but they’re doing something very important: gaining experience. What they decide to do with that experience is their own personal choice. What you do with your life’s experience is much more important, because you are the one writing your own story.

But I am not going to wiggle around and say that everything always depends on us, that the future is not determined… There is such a thing as destiny, but you will only encounter this phenomenon if you live long enough in this incarnation. What does it have to do with? Your own choices. Whether what your subconscious is striving for is beautiful and ethical is a secondary question, but if it is a sincere desire to have a certain experience, you will never get away from it. It’s just that you can get from point A to point B faster or slower, by a crooked path or a smooth one, beautifully or not so much…

Nevertheless, there is often a desire to express one’s point of view on the general idea of the dragons, for example. All of us have incarnated somewhere, had some unique experiences that we can’t wait to tell others about. The best way to do this is to express ourselves through creativity. This will help developing a range of skills and maybe even getting a good job. With a lot of experience under our belt, we have the power to create something outstanding based on it, which will only bring us joy. No matter how you spin it, creativity is a kind of love, a song of the soul, singing about the beautiful world around us and what it could potentially become. It is better to create and love with all your heart than to sit quietly in a corner and hate everyone because “things are not the way they used to be…”.

Accepting yourself as you are now will give you all the strength you need to move on, to learn and to evolve. Whether you are a man or a woman, whether you are light or dark skinned – it’s not important. What is important is to remember that whatever image you wear now is the choice of your soul. Of course, it may seem to you now that you did not choose it at all, and that it is too difficult to live this way, and in general, “I was born in the wrong place”. But it doesn’t work that way. As your real past life memories come back to you, you will see that you are logically continuing the same journey from lifetime to lifetime. Your current incarnation is a logical continuation of the previous one.

When you look back, remember that your past is only a beautiful spring that propels you forward. No one and nothing forbids you to be yourself today and do what you personally find interesting and enjoyable. The body is a tool for interacting with the world. There is nothing beyond the boundaries of embodiment. It is empty there. There is absolutely nothing there except an invisible, intangible memory. In order to read that memory and add to it, you need a living body. It may be a physical body or a less tangible body, but it will be some living form of being none the less.

Those we call Gods today are beings spiritually much older than you and me. Their experience is so rich and their understanding so deep that entire worlds fit within them. Nature can be thought of as the physical body of the Gods, with smaller and simpler beings living inside of it. Think about it, one day you are going to be that big too! Isn’t that a wonderful future – to become a whole world? In principle, if you start putting effort into creativity right now, you can begin building your own world already and make it as beautiful as you are!

Как принять себя таким, какой вы есть сейчас

Когда нас настигает понимание, что когда-то мы были разумным существом, отличным от человека, то стремимся умчаться в те далёкие времена, когда всё было проще и по-другому. Это происходит по двум причинам: другое тело имело ряд преимуществ в сравнении с человеком и мы просто-напросто уже знаем, как жить в том другом теле. Даже в одной и той же жизни у нас может возникнуть более локальная ситуация, когда мы, столкнувшись с трудностями, всеми правдами и неправдами пытаемся сбежать обратно в беззаботное детство. Так вот, яростное отторжение текущего тела – это то же самое, но в несколько других масштабах. Да, когда-то мы были животными, и другими гуманоидами, а может и вовсе природными духами, но это не обесценивает ту жизнь, которая у нас есть сейчас, это делает её богаче.

Вдумайтесь, вы – не просто человек, а человек, который вырос на основе зверя/феи/эльфа/дракона/ещё кого-нибудь. То есть, не просто человек, а человек с интересной основой, что уже делает вас весьма индивидуальным. Другие люди тоже выросли на основе чего-то. Кто-то ещё совсем молод душой, и лишь недавно был чем-то вроде животного. Сегодня он мелкий ворижка на улицах, но он занимается очень важным делом: получает опыт. Что он решит с этим опытом делать дальше – это уже его личный выбор. Что со своим многожизненным опытом будете делать вы – это уже поважнее, потому что свою историю вы пишете сами.

Не буду, однако, сейчас кривить душой и говорить, что всё всегда зависит от нас, что будущее не определено… Что-то вроде судьбы всё-таки есть, но столкнётесь вы с этим явлением только когда поживёте подольше в этом воплощении. С чем это связано? С вашим собственным выбором. Красиво и этично ли то, к чему стремится всё ваше подсознание – вопрос второй, но если это – искреннее желание получить определённый опыт, то вы вряд ли от этого куда-либо денетесь. Просто из точки А в точку Б можно прийти быстрее или медленнее, криво или ровно, красиво и не очень…

Тем не менее, нередко возникает желание выразить свою точку зрения относительно общего представления о тех же драконах. Все мы где-то воплощались, получали какой-то уникальный опыт, о котором нам теперь не терпится рассказать другим. Самый лучший способ делать это – выражать себя через творчество. Это и поможет развить ряд навыков, а может даже и получить хорошую работу. Имея за плечами огромный опыт, мы в силах создать на его основе нечто грандиозное, что будет нам только в радость. Всё же, творчество – это тип любви, песнь души, воспевание прекрасного мира вокруг нас, как и того, чем он мог бы стать. Лучше творить и любить всем сердцем, чем тихо сидеть в углу и всех ненавидеть, потому что теперь “всё не как тогда”…

Принятие себя таким, какой вы есть сейчас, даст вам все необходимые силы идти дальше, познавать и развиваться. Мужчина вы или женщина, белый или темнокожий человек – это не важно. Важно помнить, что в какой бы образ вы ни были облачены сейчас – это выбор вашей души. Конечно же, может быть теперь вам кажется, что вы этого вообще не выбирали, и что так жить слишком сложно, и вообще “я не там родился”. Но так не бывает. Когда ваши настоящие воспоминания начнут возвращаться к вам, вы увидите, что из жизни в жизнь логически продолжаете одно и то же путешествие. Ваше текущее воплощение является логическим продолжением предыдущего.

Оглядываясь назад, помните, что это лишь прекрасная пружина которая толкает вас вперёд. Никто и ничто не запрещает вам сегодня быть самими собой и делать то, что вам лично интересно и нравится. Тело – это инструмент взаимодействия с миром. За гранями воплощения нет ничего. Там пусто. Там совершенно ничего нет, кроме незримой, неосязаемой памяти. Чтобы читать эту память и дополнять её вам нужно живое воплощение. Это может быть физическое тело, или тело менее осязаемое, но в любом случае это будет какая-то живая форма бытия.

Те, кого мы сегодня называем Богами – это существа духовно намного более старшие, чем мы с вами. Их опыт настолько богат а понимание настолько глубоко, что внутри них помещаются целые миры. Природу можно считать физическим телом Богов, внутри которого живут существа поменьше и попроще. Подумайте, ведь когда-нибудь вы тоже будете такими же большими! Разве это не прекрасное будущее – стать целым миром? В принципе, вплотную занявшись творчеством, вы можете начать строить свой мир уже сейчас, и пусть он будет таким же прекрасным, как и вы сами!

Past Lives and Current Brain

Past and Present Brains -- Illustration

English

It is possible that we may sometimes be able to remember past lives as they were, but it would be foolish to argue with the fact that remembering is done through the brain that we have now. This brain has been developing its own associative map since childhood, and, in most cases, this very map will be used to decode the memories of past lives. From my own lengthy experience, I can summarize that the most reliable memories come in dreams. There, you can see images about which the current brain knows nothing, and then find these items in the Wikipedia and marvel at the fact that such things actually existed. If the objects you are looking for do not appear in the World Encyclopedia, the only thing left to do is to draw them… And it is possible that there is a huge benefit to doing so. After drawing some objects from dreams about past incarnations, one can compare them with the data received in dreams by other otherkin of the same type. Sometimes, a memory is triggered by something you have seen, heard, or read. But there’s a good chance that such memories are running through our current associative map. When I practiced conscious dreaming some time ago, I discovered that the associative map is very important because disembodied objects often don’t have images of their own, and the brain picks the most appropriate one to understand what it is dealing with.

The difference in associative maps in otherkin, even of the same type, can lead to different descriptions of the same phenomena or past events. Information in the spiritual world is stored in a certain universal format that can be decoded by different types of brains, but each brain will do it in its own way, so this should be taken into account when discussing past incarnations. Observing myself, I can also say that the longer one lives and the more one remembers, the less there is that sense of wonder and unexploredness that we often experience in childhood. The brain fills up with data and – maybe – it even runs out of space?.. This is not for sure, as I am still observing myself and cannot say this with 100% certainty. After all, the brain is capable of forgetting things that have not been used for a long period of time and are of little importance. This means that even if the space in the brain is finite, we can expect that, as we get older, only the most important information, relevant to this incarnation, will remain there. What happens when the brain is 100% full, I don’t know, but memory loss may begin, as it does with old people. Perhaps, our natural limit of staying in one incarnation is determined by our brain capacity (think of elongated human skulls found by archaeologists. Maybe, the owners of these skulls lived longer than normal humans?). In any case, all that remains is to observe ourselves and others and draw the appropriate conclusions.

Common Associations and the Shared Mental Space

It is also worth noting that the perception of some ideas and concepts changes over time. Connecting to certain areas of the shared mental space can produce completely different results in the current incarnation compared to the previous one. For instance, the perception of fairies was one thing and the word ‘fairy’ referred to a particular phenomena before the Celts were Christianized, but then things turned around and the word ‘fairy’ now means something completely different. The same can be said about almost all mythical creatures, the common understanding of which used to mean something that then changed a lot. When we say “I am a fairy”, we unconsciously put ourselves in the same basket with everything that is considered a fairy today, and it begins to affect us, so it is important to clearly separate the images that come to us from the shared mental space and the images that are directly connected with our own past, otherwise we can confuse ourselves, and for a long time. The best way to avoid such a mix up of information in your head is to try to remember the self-name of the peoples you used to live with, and even if they consist of completely inhuman sounds, try to find the nearest human analog. That was the only way I could get my own brain in order.

If we observe ourselves, our dreams, we will probably find that what we once were is hard to attribute directly to the legendary beings we know today. It is likely to be something similar to the myths, but just as far removed from them. A fairy, but not quite. An elf, but definitely not like the one in Tolkien’s Legendarium. Maybe there’s even a bit of a dragon there, but a different kind of dragon than commonly imagined. The world is diverse and multi-layered, and we should not forget that in addition to incarnations, there are psychotypes associated with who we are as a whole. When we incarnate many times, we become more than just one being. We become a small Universe within a larger Universe, and this Universe has its own character, which is – likely – visible on the level of communication between Universes. On top of that, we have our peculiarities of brain, upbringing and the very same associative map, and that’s why it takes so much time to sort oneself out.

Harms of Hypnosis

Something you should absolutely not do to yourself is hypnosis and self-hypnosis. Putting any program directly into the brain, past the critical evaluation of your self, leads to very bad consequences and can ruin your entire lifetime. Also, no hypnosis session has ever given me worthwhile results. But you can accidentally become a loudspeaker for disembodied spirits, which is unpleasant, to say the least. Souls that have lost their own brains sometimes accidentally fall into someone else’s subconscious, especially if it is spacious. Therefore, you should not talk to voices in your head. Especially if they are trying to scare you or get you to do bad things. Bad actors are always ready to continue the series of their foul deeds even after death, but it will be very difficult for them if there is no willing “assistant”. Your own internal dialogues are never felt as something alien, no matter what dark thoughts you might be having, but external influence is always felt as such.

The best way in this kind of situations is to ignore all such voices, to strengthen logic and common sense. If you’re going to subject yourself to regressive hypnosis in such a state, instead of your own incarnations, the attached spirit risks to push through, and then it’s all over… because he doesn’t care about your goals. You should never hurry to remember, and all too often a detailed recollection doesn’t really change your life. When you remember past lives, you begin to realize that you would have made all the same choices in this one anyway, so why a rush? The most important things from the past copy into the current brain regardless, and you continue to have the experiences you are interested in.

Прошлые жизни и текущий разум

Не исключено, что иногда нам удаётся вспомнить о прошлых жизнях всё, как оно было, но было бы глупо спорить с фактом, что вспоминание происходит через тот мозг, который у нас есть сейчас. У этого мозга с детства развивается собственная ассоциативная карта, которая, в большинстве случаев, и будет использоваться для расшифровки прошложизненных воспоминаний. Исходя из собственного многолетнего опыта могу резюмировать, что самые достоверные воспоминания приходят во снах. Там можно увидеть образы, о которых ничего не известно текущему разуму, а после найти эти предметы в той же википедии и изумиться тому, что такие вещи на самом деле были. Если же искомых предметов не оказалось во всемирной энциклопедии, их остаётся только рисовать… Но возможно, что в этом есть огромная польза. Зарисовав какие-то предметы из снов о прошлых воплощениях, можно сравнить их с данными, полученными другими азеркинами того же типа во снах. Иногда воспоминания накатывают после того, как мы увидели, услышали или прочли что-то, что разбудило эту память. Но есть все шансы, что такие воспоминания будут проходить через нашу текущую ассоциативную карту. Практикуя осознанные сны некоторое время назад, я обнаружила, что ассоциативная карта имеет огромное значение, поскольку у невоплощённых объектов зачастую не существует каких-либо собственных образов, и мозг подбирает наиболее подходящий, для того, чтобы понять, с чем он имеет дело в данный момент.

Разность ассоциативных карт у азеркинов даже одно и того же типа может приводить к разнящимся описаниям одних и тех же явлений или прошлых событий. Это стоит учитывать в обсуждениях прошлых жизней, поскольку информация в духовном мире хранится в неком универсальном формате, который способны расшифровать самые разные типы мозгов, но делать это каждый мозг будет по-своему. Наблюдая за собой также могу сказать, что чем дольше живёшь и чем больше вспоминаешь, тем меньше то чувство чудесности и неизведанности, которое мы часто испытываем в детстве. Мозг заполняется данными и, возможно, в нём даже заканчивается место?.. Это не точно, поскольку я всё ещё за собой наблюдаю, и не могу заявлять подобное со 100% уверенностью. В конце концов, мозг способен забывать данные, которые не используются длительное время и имеют низкую значимость. То есть, даже если место в мозгу конечно, мы, при должном подходе к делу, можем рассчитывать на то, что с возрастом там будет оставаться только самая важная информация, релевантная для данного воплощения. Что делать, когда мозг заполнится на 100% я не знаю, но может начаться потеря памяти, как это происходит со стариками. Возможно, что наш естественный лимит пребывания в одном воплощении ограничен именно нашим мозгом (приходят на ум удлинённые человеческие черепа, найденные археологами. Возможно, обладатели этих черепов жили дольше, чем обычные люди?). В любом случае, остаётся только наблюдать за собой, за другими, и делать соответствующие выводы.

Ассоциации общественности и общее ментальное поле

Также стоит отметить, что восприятие некоторых идей и концепций изменяется со временем. Наша связь с некоторыми областями в общем ментальном поле может давать совершенно другие результаты в текущем воплощении по сравнению с предыдущим. К примеру, восприятие фей до христианизации кельтов было одним, и словом “фея” называли одно, но потом всё сильно изменилось, и теперь слово “фея” означает что-то совершенно другое. То же самое можно сказать практически о всех мифических существах, общее понимание о которых раньше было одним, но потом сильно изменилось. Когда мы говорим “я – фея”, мы подсознательно ложим себя в одну корзинку со всем, что считается феями сегодня, и это начинает на нас влиять, потому стоит чётко отделять образы, которые приходят к нам из общего ментального поля, от образов, которые связаны непосредственно с нашим собственным прошлым, иначе можно здорово себя запутать, и надолго. Наилучший способ избежать подобного смешения информации у себя в голове – попробовать вспомнить самоназвание народа, в котором жили раньше, и даже если оно состоит из совершенно нечеловеческих звуков, можно попробовать подобрать ближайший человекопонятный аналог. Только за счёт этого мне в своё время удалось навести порядок у себя в голове.

Наблюдая непосредственно за собой, за своими снами, мы скорее всего обнаружим, что то, чем мы когда-то были, трудно напрямую отнести к известным ныне легендарным существам. Скорее всего, это будет что-то похожее на мифы, но и настолько же отдалённое от них. Фея, но не совсем. Эльф, но точно не такой, как в легендариуме Толкиена. А может там даже есть кусочек дракона, но какого-то другого, чем принято воображать. Мир разнообразен и многослоен, и не стоит забывать, что кроме воплощений ещё есть и психотипы, которые связаны с тем, что мы из себя представляем в целом. Воплощаясь множество раз, мы формируемся в нечто большее, чем одно существо. Мы становимся маленькой Вселенной внутри большой Вселенной, и у этой вселенной есть какой свой характер, который виден, очевидно, на уровне общения Вселенных. А ещё сверху добавляются наши особенности мозга, воспитания, и всё та же ассоциативная карта, потому раскладывание личной информации по полочкам занимает не малое время.

Вред гипноза

Что-то, что совершенно не стоит с собой делать – это гипноз и самогипноз. Ввод какой-либо программы непосредственно в мозг, мимо критической оценки личностью, ведёт к очень плохим последствиям и это способно сломать человеку всю его жизнь. К тому же, ещё ни один сеанс гипноза не приносил мне стоящих результатов. Зато можно случайно стать громкоговорителем для развоплощённых душ, что весьма малоприятно. Некоторые недавно умершие цепляются за своих родственников, друзей и знакомых. Потерявшие собственный мозг души иногда нечаянно падают в чужое подсознание, особенно если оно вместительное. Именно поэтому не стоит говорить ни с какими голосами в голове. Особенно если они пытаются вас напугать или подбить на гадости. Не чистые на руку личности готовы продолжать серию своих мерзких поступков и после смерти, но сделать это им будет очень трудно, если не найдётся готовый к действию “ассистент”. Собственные же внутренние диалоги никогда не ощущаются как нечто чужеродное, какие бы тёмные мысли вас не посещали, но внешнее влияние всегда ощущается как таковое.

Лучший способ в таких ситуациях – игнорировать всякие такие голоса, укреплять логику и здравый смысл. Если в таком состоянии полезть в тему регрессивного гипноза, вместо собственных воплощений рискует вылезти подселенец, и тогда пиши пропало… ведь ему абсолютно всё равно до ваших целей. С вспоминанием никогда не нужно торопиться, да и, зачастую, подробное вспоминание особо вашей жизни не меняет. Вспомнив прошлые воплощения, начинаешь понимать, что всё равно сделал бы все те же самые выборы в жизни, так зачем куда-то торопиться? Самое важное из прошлого в любом случае попадает в текущий мозг и вы продолжаете получать тот опыт, который вам интересен.

I Need Help Figuring Out What I Am.

Hi, as you can see, I’m very new to this forum and the otherkin/alterhuman community. I mostly came here due to the need to figure out what exactly is up with me internally. I’m hoping to be met with an open mind, knowing I didn’t come here in bad faith. So, here’s some info about me.

  • I’m not otherkin, or at the very least, don’t consider myself one.
  • I feel very strong species dysphoria despite the previous point.
  • I figured this might mean I’m some form of alterhuman, but I’m not sure.

How I experience my dysphoria will be detailed below. If anyone more familiar with the topic has a similar experience, please inform me.

I always felt a severe disconnect with humanity for as long as I remember, and while I don’t necessarily feel like humans are the worst species ever, I feel immense bodily discomfort at being reminded of my humanity. This bleeds through all aspects of my life: physical, social, emotional, mental, spiritual, gender, and sexuality.

Physically, I don’t find my body repulsive and even like how I look. Physical dysphoria however comes from my inability to shapeshift or turn invisible. It’s like I want to express and move around in ways that clothes or vehicles wouldn’t satisfy, and this causes immense distress. The inability to blend in with surroundings, shrink, or disappear raises my anxiety when a perceived threat is around. I never felt envy for humans, but I wish I had some traits octopuses have as far as disguises and signaling go. I like having a small human body, because it makes it easy to fit in smaller spaces, but the way some animals can squeeze through the tiniest gaps is still enviable. Despite this, I don’t feel particularly kin towards animals.

Socially, I’m interactive, but forming attachments to humans proved to be incredibly difficult. I found myself only capable of being attached to animals, nonhumans, or those perceived to be nonhuman. The exception to this is my mom. She’s the only human perceived as human whose welfare can make or break my day. I act friendly towards others (at least I was told), but I frankly feel hostile towards most people. It’s not in the sense of enmity. They just look appetizing…a part I usually try to ignore, but I put here for the sake of easier evaluation.

Emotionally, mentally, and spiritually, I have difficulties grasping the emotions considered to be human. I have an easier time interpreting base emotions found in most animals such as anger, fear, and contentment. I don’t understand joy. I only vaguely understand love. Jealousy is incredibly hard to understand. Complex emotions make me panic, especially when others feel them, because I don’t know what to do when they ask me for consolation. I could give advice, but I can only hope that people don’t notice how deadpan I look. I consider myself spiritual and religious, but I have little to no interest in community. I vaguely view myself as a pet to the Gods whose only purpose in the world is to enact their will. I wasn’t taught to be this way. This perspective is simply what comforts me.

Gender and sexuality is probably the biggest telltale for some people. They might not be. What I can say at least is that both aspects of myself are incredibly dehumanized by society. I’m a-spec. Agender, demiromantic, gray-bisexual. Oddly enough, the only reason why I’m aroace spectrum is because my options in mates is fairly limited. For one, I find most humans repulsive. Two, animals are not an option for consent issues. Three, I don’t feel aroace spec at all when I consume media where sapient nonhumans exist.

When I ovulate, I feel like seeking out the most virile and wild sire with sufficient intellect. I want such an individual to give me multiple litters of offspring consecutively for a short amount of time. When reality hits me that I’m limited to the human way of reproduction, my mood heavily plummets for hours or days or even weeks. At the longest, it lasted years.

This doesn’t even account for sexual attraction alone. Sometimes, I don’t even feel a partner is necessary, and I at times wish I could reproduce the same way bacteria do.

A lot of the details I wrote here are vastly different from one another. That’s why I have difficulties determining what type of alterhuman I am. I ruled out otherkin, because it felt like a wrong fit.

Hi, Question about OtherHearted/kin..

I/we are a recently rediscovered plurality (a self-referred noun we’re trying out as dislike ‘system’ for us ;^^)

Our plural and “otherheartedness” is.. unique, and are curious if anyone knows of a otherhearted-type thing that might fit us/me. Asking here as really dislike most forms of social media..

So far the best way weve found to describe our identity succinctly as it is atm is “Human-identified, whom in inner-world and some external perception, can ‘shapeshift’ almost anything- or anyone- almost at will” . ‘scientifically’ we tend to describe this as likely a combination of schizotypy, hyperphantasia, plurality, and maleability..

The actual effect it results in is what feels very much like species ‘ghost sensation’ for whatever form we percieve for ourselves or our surroundings, and outside of stress or panic can control this. This can even be dysphoric , IE treating those as real has emotional effect, though since we can control it this seems to just mean euphoria if it is embraced- rather then consistent dysphoria as a symptom. …this likely applies to “forms” for things external to us, too, even inanimate things or spaces.

It is as if you had a plural person(s) who could shapeshift and control inner world at will, but could also project this externallyat will.. Tho our perceptions to be clear never change vision and only *very* rarely other sensation.

All of this put together feels like itd be at the least ‘effective’ to summarize as like. idk, ‘otherhearted/kin for magical, superpowered shapeshifter’ , if for no other reason then to better summarize our ‘vibe’. But other then creating this creature from scratch- which we arent opposed to, neccesarily..- unsure if theres a good option.

Hence asking here 💗

Thank you. -Lins&, They/them

Explaining my kintype….

It’s always been a bit confusing telling people what I am and how it works. Especially not without sounding as if I just completely made it up and haven’t been figuring this out for years. Try saying “I’m crytidkin specifically a wereraccoon/werewolf hybrid oh and I’m otherhearted, crytidhearted to be exact.” And I know what you’re thinking, but no it can make sense. As much as I’d love to tell you about my journey of discovering what I identify as that’s probably a topic for another day, this is more about how my identity is what it is and what each of the classifications mean. Some frequently asked questions I’ll be answering include:

  • you’re crytidkin and crytidhearted??
  • but there is no werewolfraccoon crytid…
  • how can you identify as something you don’t believe in?
  • What even is crytidkin?

Good questions… Let me try answering them…

Raccoons might mean nothing in crytizoology but they play a big part in crytid lore. Is there a difference? Yes! Cryptozoology is the study of cryptids wjth the aim of providing their existence. Cryptids refers to creatures of which the existence or survival of is widely disputed. For example Bigfoot, Dover Demon, Nessie, Jersey Devil, Mothman and some classic mythical creatures like unicorns, shape-shifters, vampires and dragons. I don’t believe that many of those creatures exist in this world sadly, the vast majority of them are biologically impossible. However it is important to know that some animals such as the giant squid, the okapi and the platypus were once considered crytids. So not all cryptozoology is nonsense, however it can be linked to conspiracy theories which can be harmful.Cryptid lore is much broader, it refers to the whole concept of crytids and everything associated with them. This includes mythology, folk stories, cryptidcore aesthetic, crytid themed art and crytid related fiction such as Gravity Falls, Tales From The Gas Station, SCP, Stranger Things, Demon Road, Creepypasta and Mystery Skulls. It’s more cryptid lore that I lean into than crytizoology when it comes to my identity. Alright back to raccoons! 🦝🐺Raccoons are typically nocturnal and have a tendency to get into strange places while looking for food. Not to mention all the odd noises. So it’s no surprise that they are often behind so-called ghost sightings. And they make a strong appearance in bits of cryptidcore media. There are plenty of mentions of them in season two of Full Body Chills, although they are not the subject of the scares. In Tales From The Gas Station there are mutant raccoon cryptids such as the enormous red-eyed Rocco and his brood, and in later seasons a green winged almost dragon-like raccoon called Rita. Note also that they are forest animals and dark forests are a classic crytidcore setting. In terms of raccoon themed cryptids there are quite a few, and many are hybrids. For example there’s the Cooncat of Georgia USA sited between 2013-2014. There’s also the Coonigator of Vermont (google him he’s a real sight). There’s also the Montauk Monster who turned out to be a hairless raccoon.

Wolves are another staple of cryptid lore, and I’m specifically part werewolf. So I won’t bore you with The Beasts of Bray Road and of Gévaudan – you probably already know about them. The earliest records I could find of lycanthropy was of a shepard in the Epic of Gilgamesh. The prefix “were-“, coming from the Old English word for “man” (masculine rather than generic), is also used to designate shapeshifters; despite its root, it is used to indicate female shapeshifters as well.

Humans aren’t great at finding cryptids, look at those blurry photos. It’s part of a lot of classic scary stories that people never see the creature again or that it slinks off into the night before its seen. Not to mention that an important aspect of the sub genera is the unknown. So the idea of a new or unknown crytid makes a certain amount of sense. And even if it didn’t it’s still how I feel and can’t change, but this the logical reasoning for my identity.

Although as I said I have said I don’t believe in cryptids being in this world, however if my species does exist out there I think it would be in a parallel universe. I am a strong believer in the concept of a multiverse and am open to the possibly of having lived in a universe similar to that of Tales From The Gas Station, Gravity Falls, et cetera in a previous or future life.

Otherhearted refers to the state of identifying with something rather than as it but on just as deep a level. And yes I identify as one kind of crytid but I relate to and identify with just about all of them. This includes debunked cryptids like Agnes Bowker’s Cat, I still feel a strong connection to them. They are often the ones I feel strongest about, strangely enough, which I think could be part of a parallel universe connection. Although I do find myself drawn towards odd animals and ones previously considered crytids, they don’t strike as deep a chord with me.

Thanks for letting me explain my insane sounding identity to you. I’ll be back with some slightly more interesting topics later. I’ll try to get around to topics like alterhumanity throughout history, why species dysphoria needs to be legally recognized and some living tips for myths, monsters and animals. Have an awesome night you guys!! Let me know if you too have a strange kintype you want to explain or talk about.

＼(^o^)／ big hugs for everyone!!

Hello, I’m new!

For those who doesn’t use Discord, I associate myself with dragons and elves. I question myself if I am really an otherkin, but I recall a dream I had being a faerie.. so I made a conclusion that I am not human in spirit. Nice to meet you all!

Religion and the Sha

Religion and the Sha

The Sha are a very spiritual people and hold a religion that draws heavy influence from their utilitarian natures.  

A cornerstone of the Sha faith is that they make no attempt in espousing to have a superior or ‘the one true religion’ but that their are in-fact countless Gods and faiths that they recognize to be true, most of which they have no interest in worshiping as they only care for their gods who care for them. They believe all Gods who draw worship are on some level real and that many where actually created by their worshippers in a similar manner to which a ‘tulpa’ in Tibetan traditions draw its strength from belief. 

The Sha believe there are essentially three types of gods. 

1 The Creator. The god who is beyond existence and understanding and who has always been

2 True Gods. Gods willed into existence by the creator or born from other such gods. They don’t rely on thoughts or prayers to sustain their existence 

3 Created Gods. gods created by thoughts, prayers, belief and worship. They can actually die if they are merely forgotten over time. 

 To the Sha the Gods themselves are believed to strengthen their existence through the minds of their followers and even their antagonists’ and skeptics’ thoughts of them. It is for this reason they believe it is important to measure their thoughts and emotions and adjust accordingly. (For example they attempt to never think of Judaea-Christian archetypes of devils or evil as they certainly do not wish to fuel the existence of such a being.) However, they believe no sentient life form is completely devoid of at least the occasional negative thought so they channel their lower thoughts into a belief in the “Shadow Elf” as a means of channeling the mystical energies of darker thoughts and beliefs into something that can have a positive outcome.

Their are four major Gods or Godlike entities in the Sha Panthion 

  1. The Shadow Elf- a being created by the energy of the Sha 
  2. Yngvi The god of the Sha among other things. They believe that he is a “True God” assigned custodianship of most Elves by a higher power(possibly the creator)
  3. “The Mother” the Sha goddess of nature and knowledge. She protects plant life and blesses the Sha with a special kinship with plant life an helps them commune with ancestor trees 
  4. “The Creator” The god of gods and the supreme aspect of all creation. 

(1)

The “Shadow Elf” is not an elf but a powerful godlike entity that resides in the collective conscience of all Sha and even all who know of the “shadow elf”. It is thought that when the negative thoughts, emotions and  belief in this entity reaches critical mass it will possess and fuse with the soul of a young and vulnerable Sha who has strong negative emotions and thoughts. This results in a child who will grow to be an incredibly powerful elf capable of terrible destruction. It is for this reason that when the “Shadow Elf” manifests every member of the Sha make it their duty to guide the young demigod along a path of warmth and compassion, and redirect the child’s warlike nature into that of a protector because in much the same way an army can be used to conquer it can be also be used to protect and defend. 

Due to the nature of how the “Shadow Elf” manifests into our realm by fusing with the soul of a host Sha, it is believed every “Shadow Elf” is not only a return of the previous “Shadow Elf” but also a reincarnation of several previous hosts. Previous hosts provide the benefit being the newest host’s “Jiminy Cricket” to help counteract the negative thoughts and urges caused by the “Shadow Elf” presence (yet another measure to help mitigate the risk of corruption. Previous hosts will remain attached to the spirit of the “Shadow Elf” for several incarnations until their souls having been freed of negativity naturally detach from the “Shadow Elf” and ascend or reincarnate. 

However, the power of a “Shadow Elf” comes at a terrible price. Because life is a positive state of being, regardless of how it is spent, channeling the power of the “Shadow Elf” damages the life force of the host and channeling all of the “Shadow Elf’s” power means certain death to the host. The last “Shadow Elf “ was the legendary Last King and his death was the result of him channeling all of the dark energies within himself at once to protect his people. Since that time there have been no other “Shadow Elves” as there aren’t enough Sha left who know of the “Shadow Elf” for him to reach critical mass and manifest in a Sha in our realm.

(2)

Yngvi is the patron god of the Sha. His responsibility is to guide the souls of the Sha to other Sha. The Sha believe Yngvi helps the Sha find one another when they are lost. The Sha also believe that Yngvi help Sha souls find their way on the path of reincarnation and that he receives lost souls from “The Mother”

(3)

The Mother is a goddess of nature, knowledge and burial rites. She watches over the ancestor groves and will hold troubled souls to be collected by Yngvi. She blesses the transfer of knowledge from Sha corpses to ancestor trees. She blesses the Sha with the ability to commune with plant life and she blesses her most devoted followers the ability to access and join the collective consciousness of plant life in meditation. (These most devoted followers are often thought of as having become half plant half Sha.) It is debated among the Sha as to wether she is a “true god” or a “created god” but she is nonetheless revered by all Sha 

(4)

The creator is unique in that the creator is accepted to be the singular being beyond understanding and presumption. Therefore the Sha offer this being the greatest reverence but make no attempts describing or understanding who this being is or what  role said being plays aside from that it creates all things by force of will and the universe exists only because this being continues to will it. 

The Sha believe in both reincarnation and transcendence. 

It is believed that when a Sha dies the memories left in the body can be preserved in an ancestor tree. 

An ancestor tree is a tree grown from the corpse of a Sha. Only descendants of the corpse that nourished the tree and OwmEw can “read” memories from an ancestor tree. 

In the rare instances when a Sha soul fails to or chooses not to ascend or reincarnate they may become entangled in the tree growing from their corpse. Many choose this fate intentionally. When this occurs it is called “living with the Mother” because those in this state are one with the collective consciousness of all plant life and are also able to hear the voice of the mother directly. Sha souls entangled in this manner are also able to act as keepers of their perspective ancestor tree, allowing those who wouldn’t ordinarily be able to “read” their tree. They can even deny access to anyone they don’t wish “reading” their tree even if they are descendants or OwmEw

The OwmEw or Daughters of the Forest are the most devoted followers of “The Mother” The process of becoming OwmEw is a long and arduous process that requires much sacrifice. They first take an oath to never take the like of a plant and adopt a strictly carnivorous diet. They them pain stakingly pluck every hair from their body (Sha only grow hair on their heads and their pubic area) and plant special tiny vine seeds under their skin in place of their plucked hair. They then enter into a hibernative/meditative state and attempt to commune with the seeds germinating beneath their skin and guide the growth of each seeds roots. If they fail the roots will grow out of control and kill them. If they are successful their mind will become as one with the many vines grow from their bodies, they will gain the ability to communicate directly with the collective consciousness of plant life, receive secondhand guidance from the mother through plants, “read” ancestor trees, gain the ability to photosynthesize energy as plants do to supplant much of their carnivorous diet effectively becoming an elf-plant hybrid, and they will enjoy a position of respect and admiration from Sha society as spiritual leaders a wise women. However all of these benefits come at a cost. Over time their skin will begin to store chlorophyll causing their skin to turn green, they will become reliant upon sunlight to maintain their health, and perhaps most devastating they will loose the ability to bare children and may experience some minor alienation for not contributing to the delicate population.

the sounds of waves drifting across the stormy seas of my mind

the distant smell of saltwater mixing with the lakes frothing, teaming with iridescent cold blooded creatures

the feeling something is missing something stolen without a sign something, im sure as my own mind is mine, my skin feels like something other then what my heart in my mines eye sees,

stranded, the feeling of being stranded on the land in a world of strange customs and styles that seem alien and absurd in some way even as i seem to have grown up with them

feeling as if becoming what i do not see in the mirror will somehow make the hole in my chest disappear

twisting the movement of my ankles locking together as i swim… why do eyes stray to my direction as my body moves under the waves, why do my legs twist in a way that feels and seems impossible and at the same time instinctive and natural as soon as i touch the water

is my picture in my soul and in my heart of what i am when im under the sea just my imagination or is it something more… for i to have ….to be a creature of the lakes and seas… to play in the waves and dine on the scaled creatures that swim along side me and act as my playfellows playing endless games of chase… why is it i can almost feel no, i do feel a tail instead of these flimsy legs when the liquid envelopes me as i dive into the murky depths of a strangely comforting and familiar world

I am a Time Lord (my story and my true identity)

Unlike some of the members of the Otherkin community I have seen, I felt comfortable at first, when I was a child. I was born human, therefore I was human. Makes sense, right?

But then, I started watching Doctor Who. I didn’t connect with the character of the Doctor, but like him I was very interested in physics and had an extended knowledge of quantum mechanics, and I tended to see other humans as people who cared too much about their emotions and not enough about logic. I always had a great sense of protector, and I would do almost anything to protect my friends, or any humans in the street that is being harassed, attacked or just being lost.

But up to that point, it was just a cool resemblance between me and the Doctor. It was a cool thing. I became obsessed with the show, and at that point, something faint in my chest followed me around, begging to come out, as if a spiritual second heart was faintly beating, calling to its people.

But everything changed when I saw the first episode featuring the Time Lord society. I saw them and immediately felt a connection to them. They weren’t the Doctor’s people. They were my people. And not only did I feel this Gallifreyan patriotism, I also felt angry at them. Gallifrey was ruled by a bunch of incompetent, lying, manipulative old men in funny hats that only seek to make profit off of their starving people. I felt like I needed to protect the oppressed people, my people, stuck in the deserts of Gallifrey.

Even though my body is human, my mind is 100% Time Lord. I’ve always been attracted by advanced physics and the possibility of time travel, and as I read more about the History of Gallifrey, I felt that was way more relevant than the idiotic things we learn in History class.

As of right now, I never expressed my true self to anyone. Time Lords are used to blend in with humans, and I’m a pretty good actor. But my second heart was pounding, pleading and begging for me to tell someone about who I really am. I am 16 now, twice the age of maturity of a Time Lord, and I don’t have any mature Time Lords to get me through my ceremony, so I will have to do it myself. I sadly cannot look through the time vortex to test my dedication, but the concept of time itself has made me scared and curious all my life, and so as a replacement and to prove my worthiness I will accept the inevitability of time (especially without a TARDIS or any regenerations) and therefore face time itself. I shall therefore claim the surname of Commander and, since no one can assign me, I will assign myself to the Prydonian Chapter, that of leadership, quick decision making and extrovertedness.

I’ve never even explored the concept of Otherkin before that point, and I still had a strong prejudice against you guys until I did some research and realised I was part of the community. Hopefully you can all welcome me to this wonderful community!

(As a side note, these Time Lord robes are really cool, I just might purchase some to wear)

Daughter of Diversity

So…this might take a bit of explaining. My name is Ami and Ami is the name my parents gave me; just not my biological parents.

Just for make things clear from the beginning, I’m also a trans girl as well, although I feel the two are only related by coincidence.

So, I’ve known I was different, ever since as far as I can remember. My entire life up to 2015 has been figuring out who I am, and that journey still isn’t over, even if I do feel I’m aware of all the most important things. I know, based on what I say, you may feel I’m also deitykin but I don’t feel that. As a teenager, I recognised I didn’t feel human; at least, not in a way I could relate to others. But I have always had an almost obsessive love of water. Films that featured water in any kind of important context were very gripping for me. It would have to be more than just an athlete splashing their face after a long run but I especially found myself drawn to water wizards and water elemental life and gods of water and anything else of that nature. Inversely though, while I did appreciate films involving seas and oceans, it wasn’t the same. I more appreciated them from a distance. I kind of feel I was lucky in that I’ve always been a bit on the creative side and, over time, as I’ve grown to be more accepting of myself, I’ve increasingly incorporated my search for myself into what I write, especially with Naiads, fresh water nymphs. I was especially fascinated to find that, even if by different names, there were myths about them from all over the world in every continent. But even the myths didn’t feel, precise; very close but…not right. And so I used my writing to explore them more and more and, in time I managed to describe, generally, how I felt about myself, except I didn’t feel it personally. I felt it in the sense of, these are my people. It’d be wrong to say I’ve rewritten the mythologies. For me it’s more the mythologies were written by humans and aren’t really all that reliable. You’d still easily recognise the naiads as I see them but, I feel I filled in the holes and corrected the biases. But I still didn’t feel it explained me fully and that’s where…religion…came into it. I came into the pagan umbrella as an independent in 2006 and I’ve always felt drawn to Iris and Arke above all others, although I consider myself very omnitheistic. But my heart told me that while they were referred to as gods of the rainbow, the rainbow was just the visual part of the spectrum that represented their true responsibility; diversity. Iris was felt to be the chief god of diversity and Arke was her second but…I felt more drawn to Arke than to her sister. In time, with myths being very vague, and in some cases, disagreeing with each other, about their origins, my own heart filled in the blanks and made the compromises again. And then one day, I can’t explain this bit even to myself but I came to feel that Arke was one of three mothers; all wed to each other. I also felt that somewhere out there, I have two human siblings, a brother and a sister. However, while all three of my parents were gods, Eris and another god from another pantheon, my siblings and I aren’t. I feel that we were conceived in Tartarus and due to the nature of our relationship, we had to be born together. And they wouldn’t allow Arke a temporary release for it. Because of that, we were born in Tartarus. My feeling is that you can’t be a dead god and you can’t be born living in the Underworld. We were raised by our grandparents, Elektra and her first husband in the Underworld but every spirit should experience life at some point and so we did. I was born as though I was human and I’ve been raised as though I was. But I never have been. While my siblings took our other two parents’ species, I took Arke’s.

My biggest shame though is my fear. Ever since I hit 20 in 1997, I’ve been happy and willing to accept who I am, as and when that awareness came to me but, after a one time coming out about being otherkin to my care coordinator in Luton and seeing his reaction as well as the reaction of the rest of the team when he told them, and there was also another case in a very small trans community I was part of which had an equally bad reaction, I’ve always kept my awareness to myself and to my novels.

Anyway, that’s my story. That’s me.

Oh. If I can add one thing to this. I don’t feel being the daughter of a god makes me special. I believe being me makes me that as it does everyone. Besides, I’ve never considered gods to be rulers of the universe so much as its servants; its carers.

New and hoping not to be judged

Hi, I’m new and really actually very nervous about this because I have only talked about it with a few people. Some of whom have thought I was crazy, others, not so much.

I feel like I am or was or…something. Anyway, for the sake of getting through this, I’ll use present tense. I feel as if I am the embodiment of fate. I know that even among otherkin, that may sound crazy. But I thought I might get some opinions as to if that’s even possible or if I really may just be crazy. But I have felt very alone. For most all of my life. It’s hard to be the only one to feel not human, in those around me. So if anyone is interested in talking or friendship, I’m also interested in that as well.

Introduction

Hello! My name is Stuart, or Blue, whichever is easier. I am a fallen angel and also 2D from Gorillaz. I also happen to be a system. I discovered my otherkinity (is that a word) back in 2018 during a meditation session. I saw an image of an eye opening and then a bunch of 2D memories. How did you find out about it? I’d love to hear. Also, any other angels here?

New and a bit lost

So, I hope I’m doing this right. But I’m a newbie here that identifies as a Faerykin.
I started to have a hunch as to my potential when I was around 12 or 13. I can’t exactly remember the day or time of my “awakening”. Around that time though I began to see things in nature more intuitively. I would always say that I viewed the world through the artist’s eye because of how I would appreciate the very fine details in nature that others take for granted or just don’t plain care to see. Every vein on a leaf, every speckle of shine on a rock, the character of each twig and how they bend. I felt a sense of magic and wonder in the breezy air.
Ever since I was a kid I wish I could fly through the sky, and would love staring up at the clouds letting them carry my thoughts with them. And because of my deep intuition of the earth, I do my best to care for the environment. I love fantasy and often wish I could escape from the human world to be carefree and enjoy life. Dragonflies were another indicator for me. Ever since I was little I liked dragonflies (and about two years ago I realized they were my totem animal/totem guide/spirit animal (whatever you want to call it). I’ve had various of animals that I liked growing up, but dragonflies recently came back into my life. And I read that in some folktales that dragonflies are faery steeds or that if you followed a dragonfly it would lead you to faeries. And a few times there would be dragonflies that would zip right at me or over my head. Which I found to be quite fascinating and peculiar.
When I was around 14 I realized that my shoulder blades were more sensitive than the rest of me, which only strengthened my inner intuition of my self being more than human. So I think that may have been the final switch that got turned on and discover that my spirit is of faerykind.
When I first met my boyfriend of 9 years now, I was worried that my conjecture may scare him off, make him think I’m crazy. But thankfully he wasn’t, and he even accepted that part of me even going as far as brushing my shoulder blades in affection or whenever I feel the change in season approaching or gush about nature he would chuckle and say “That’s my faery girl.”

But now that I’ve come to terms with who I am, there are still some things I want to learn. Like, do faeries have certain elemental affinities? Though I talk about the earth and nature a lot I find that it’s water and air more specifically that I’m drawn to. And do faeries really have wings or are they more like projections of energy/aura? How would I be able to tell what mine look like? Since dragonflies have always been fascinating to me I always pictured having a set of wings like theirs.

We all float down here

Soooo ladies and gentle beings of all shapes and sizes it has come to my attention that as well as being a pedantic prick I’ve also got more entities inside me than i know what to do with. Our names are Nix, Flave, Valarion, Word and “click” although you pronounce the last with just the action… Howdy

I’ve come to this online forum looking for people who live in Canberra (kinda lonely without faces) and people who have the ability to sniff out what on earth i am (lowkey no frick fracking idea). My “condition” is drawing me through circles all around the place and I’ve found myself at more than my fair share of dead ends lately. As for kinship? Nix is the creative arty type,Val is like a giant blackhole of pyschic energy, Flave is the attacker and defender of us all and “click” is the embodiment of my understanding of magic. Word is a scholar and talker.

Any questions please fire away 😀 im just lookin for a friend… or 6.

I’m new and I’m scared

Um… Hello.

I am a fictionkin like many users here, however I’m different, even among this community.

I Googled it, and it seems I’m the only one on the Internet who identifies this way, so I guess I should feel special?

But I’m really scared to come out to anyone, so I thought I could do this anonymously on this website so I could cope with myself. Advice is appreciated, but so is just tolerance. I don’t know what to expect.

I identify as a Pokémon. Specifically, an Absol. I don’t remember when I started feeling this way, but it was after I discovered that Reshiram is my spirit animal. I started finding all sorts of correlations between me and these two Pokémon. It has caused mixed feelings for me, but I accept myself as an Absol now. I have a Timid Nature (I like Sweet foods and hate Spicy foods).

I’ve had visions of my past life as an Absol, where I fell into a Genesis Portal and was reborn in a human body here, like Pokémon Mystery Dungeon in reverse. I want to go back home to the Pokémon world, but at the same time I kind of like opposable thumbs.

Please let me know if there are other Pokémon on this site, or if I’m insane and should keep to myself. Thank you and nice to meet you in advance! ❤️

Ive had dreams but they always leave me more confused and meditation is almost impossible because of my ADHD. Ive experienced phantom limbs before but i just wanted to ask for some tips and more help on here.

Phantom Limbs

So I’ve been having these feelings, often enough now of limbs, wings, tail, muzzle, talons. Anywhere else I’d seem insane… But that’s how it is and I hope that here I can say that. I can feel the way they’ll twitch at times to stimulation, the feeling of how my snout picks up more scents than a human nose ever could. I truly, deeply and utterly want the body and scales that plague me non stop, I just want somewhere to speak myself, open up and showcase just what I know I am.

Greetings!

Hey there everyone, I am kind of new here. I am a Demon type of Otherkin. I am sorry that I have not updated everyone in quite a while when I first tried to set up an account. I was very busy with my physical human life. I am known by many names, Chaos Bringer being my true name. If you want to know more, please ask or message me! My email address is public, I believe. Hope you have a great day!

New, unsure, hello!

I am 100 percent new to even the idea of this. Someone mentioned to me to check out this community because I’ve always felt out of sync with people. Also and this may sound really bad but don’t take it that way I’ve always said in my head exactly like this that I feel “above” Humans like that and never really though of the ramifications of that ,as if saying I’m not Human again don’t take it wrong. Anyway just exploring possibilities and im ridiculously open minded so hello and I hope to meet some of you at some point !
