Fuck I Should Probably Post Some Of My Art Here Shouldn't I...

Unhinged 30 Days of Otherkin Challenge: DAYS 10-11

DAY 10: describe the vegetation around your kintype's feet

Frozen. Are there even plants down there? They've probably been buried in snow for so long they died, if there were any. I'd love to go somewhere tropical though.

Day 11: what's the most specific or unusual shift (if you experience them) you've experienced

Snout shifts! It feels fucking WEIRD. It makes me want to lift up my upper lip as if I were baring my fangs. It happened right in front of my sister and it took all of my willpower to hold myself back from doing that. It also makes my nose itch a lot. But I also have CONSTANT wing shifts. They never go away, only become somewhat fainter every now and then.

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 :)))

shh, little thing. how long have you been pretending to be human?

stop that. the beast inside you is cooped up and wants out. don’t deny what you are. we both know it even if you don’t want to admit it to yourself yet.

i can tell. i can see how you look at your hands and flex your fingers, and how you walk around on your toes with your legs close together so your hips sway like they would if you had a tail. i know those feelings - the crushing feeling that something just isn’t there. i felt that too once.

stop hiding from it. embrace it. you were made to spit fire and smoke and rip your enemies in half. creatures like us were never meant for office work or traffic jams or taxes. give in to the dragon inside you. let it out.

build a nest. drop to all fours. sharpen your claws. tear apart the knights who come to slay you in your teeth. shed your soft, delicate human skin in exchange for sleek, glossy scales too strong to be sliced by any blade. feel your back split open as your bones move and your folded wing-limbs emerge and breathe for the first time.

unfurl your wings and feel the sun on them.

fly.

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

Had to go on an investigation to find out wtf this meant

Apparently I'm The Liquids™️

I imagine some trans person or enby changing their name like.

-> Goes to Wiktionary.org -> Clicks "Random entry" -> My name is now ጭምብል

My name is Ninian

Today I feel like a broken mirror, reflecting the moonlight

Sometimes I am a monster whose claws tear all they touch

And sometimes I am a place to lay down your head and rest

But always I am trying my best

I ask the world, "Who am I, really?"

And the answer is a broken mirror, reflecting the moonlight

i came across this post which is about a poetry template made for kids to get creative with words. its a cool poem, and altho it was obviously made for little kids i think a lot of alterhumans could also have fun with it! heres my entry, feel free to write your own in the reblogs or in a separate post ^^

My name is Talon

Today I feel like a swirling void floating aimlessly

Sometimes I am an inhuman creature whose shape is not its own

And sometimes I am a gentle beast that closes its eyes and stretches its wings under the warm sun

But always I am me.

I ask the world, “Does anything matter?”

And the answer is

a swirling void floating aimlessly.

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.

Cold! As an aquatic ice dragon, that's literally my habitat! Either oceans or lakes.

Unhinged 30 Days of Otherkin Day 2: warm or cold ocean water?

It's honestly a tie! I love frosty cold water in rivers, but at the same time I adore the heat of a hot springs..

..Though, oceans are not quite something I enjoy. The massive expanse of water unsettles me a bit.

#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
