And Scales, Why I So Smooth ;-;

Unhinged 30 Days of Otherkin Challenge: DAY 14

DAY 14: if given a cellphone, what would your kintype do with it

I would use it to doomscroll tumblr to find cute dragon art to like, apparently. But it'd also be really useful to have a phone with google maps open while I'm flying around so I know where I'm headed. And imagine the photos I could take with it up there!

#something something on the Internet nobody knows you're a dragon

the beauty of online anonymity in the alterhuman community is that i don't know what any of you look like irl, so when i read your posts and picture you speaking them aloud, i imagine that a wolf, or a crow, or a dragon, or whatever creature you may be, is the one speaking

Had a bit of kin euphoria yesterday, and it was about something that I don't think most people would think is related to otherkin stuff.

Context— for the past few months, I've been running. One mile a day, four days per week. It started off being fucking painful and draining and awful. Took around 17 minutes to run a mile at first. I have since shaved that time down to running the mile in 11 minutes, 32 seconds. I'm proud of that.

The reason I'm working out at all is because I'm a dragon. I have always believed that the body I'm in is weak and frail, especially compared to the strength I could have as a full dragon. So in order to reclaim some of that Draconic strength... I'm going to train my body and get it to some level of actual fitness. Not feeling frail would do more to ease my species dysphoria than anything else.

And that's what happened yesterday. All of my training has been done on a treadmill, indoors (I don't get out much. I'm one of those dragons that stays in her cave every day). Yesterday was one of the first times I ran outside WITHOUT a treadmill... So I actually had a frame of reference for how fast I was running and how my body felt doing it.

It felt like I was stepping on clouds. My body felt so LIGHT. It felt easy to move. After so many years of having weak legs, and growing up being unable to run at any speed faster than a jog, I finally felt like that issue was behind me. I've gained strength. My claws aren't digging into the earth beneath my feet as I run, and I'm not feeling the wind beneath my wings. But I feel more like a dragon now than I ever have.

This is the most relatable image ever. I've been blessed with the ability to feel my wings at all times but oh my GOD they make it hard to sleep. After sleeping on my back for my whole life it is bizarre to adjust to the feeling of crushing your wings when you lay down

Technically a lot of lizards have a "3rd eye", a patch of photosensitive cells on the top of their head that's used for regulating a reptile's circadian rhythm and pineal gland functions. They can't "see" out of it, only detect light. It's really fascinating stuff!

Not too big of a stretch a dragon would have one too. I'm pretty sure I'd have one in dragon form. Perhaps yours is just further developed than a regular reptile's!

Any other dergs got an odd number of eyes? I have three

Wake up. Stretch ur wings and spine. Curl into your hoard pile and make loud growly yawning noises. Stay up for hours with your humans and then go back to sleep. Dragon life as of late. I feel good about myself.

Fuck I should probably post some of my art here shouldn't I...

I'll do it tomorrow I need sleep ... curls up on treasure hoard
