Kintypes? Silver Ice Dragon

If you reblog this, in the next 30 seconds you will become a dragon.

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.

Jet games are important enrichment for dragons.

Unhinged 30 Days of Otherkin Challenge: DAY 7

DAY 7: does your kintype migrate

HELL NO. How the heck is a dragongirl supposed to take her giant pile of treasure and riches with her if she migrates??? Do I just... Leave it behind???????

As an ice dragon.... Probably permafrost?? But I would never actually seek it out as a meal or anything obviously

Alternatively, glacial sediment. Or sand/mud from lakebeds/riverbeds/seafloors. I could see those getting in my mouth when I eat, as I'm partially aquatic and most of my hunting takes place underwater.

I would prefer not to eat dirt tho thankyou

30 days of Unhinged Otherkin Challenge Day 01: what type of dirt would your kintype eat?

Well, lets see. As a Cybertronian, we don't really "eat dirt" per se.. though, we do consume plenty of minerals and types of rock.

As a canine/feline/vulpine entity, perhaps accidental dirt...? Such as, dirt that flies up into your snout when you're digging or rolling in the mud! Yes!

Well shit I guess I'm transpecies, by this definition. Like, the whole idea of pursuing different life paths that line up with your species. I'd like to actually get in shape so I can at least have some semblance of the strength I'd have as a dragon. Can't exactly teach yourself to blast gigantic beams of ice from your throat but. You can learn to build muscle.

I dunno if id do bio-hacking but some scale tattoos would be nice

Also I'm letting my nails grow out so I have dragon claws muahaha I am a danger to society >:D

Re- your question about trans-species.

I obviously can't make a lot of physical changes as I would like to, and I think people get hung up on "surgery" when there isn't much that can currently be done. for me, being trans-species is more about making paradigm changes and pursuing certain life paths/not hiding aspects of non humanity. I'm an alien and basically I'd say my "transition" was about recognizing that aspects of my life are so terribly distressing to me because I'm just not human and then making a choice to change those things to suit being an alien. It felt like getting more serious about actually accommodating being non human.

An example- I don't have a normal circadian rhythm anymore, I hacked it over time by not forcing myself to stay in bed when I inevitably wake at 3 am. I support this with naps when I need them but my kin dysphoria lessened when I saw aspects of human living as societally constructed. It's controversial, which is why I'm on anon, but trans-species can mean a lot of things, but it for me is about making the choice to allow aspects of your kin self to be more physical or be more visible. be that body mods or some other kind of bio hacking.

Some of this, yes, is not good for the body. Like toe-walking for the feeling of digi legs for example. I make sure to stretch after spending time doing something like that. It's all a risk assessment kind of thing.

It's just people think it's about physical ears and tails but it can be about lots of aspects of one's lifestyle.

this answer was actually so fucking perfect, thank you so much, im so sorry it took me so long to respond, i had no idea what to say

i had been ever so slightly questioning if i was perhaps trans-species when id posted my question, thanks to all the answers i got ive come to the conclusion that im not as i dont have the desire to transition into my species. i already am my species :)

thank you, my fantastic alien anon, and thank you to everyone else who responded to my post for all your great answers, and please, by all means, keep sending me stuff!! i wanna learn about yall, ur so cool :)))
