Resource To all the "am I otherkin" posts

83 Upvotes

It is totally valid to ask questions to lead to your awakening, however no one can say if you are otherkin.

Being otherkin is simply is an identity. Asking "am I otherkin" is like asking "am I trans," nobody but you can say. (Yes I'm ware being otherkin is not a sexuality, it's just an example).

Taking quizzes or questionnaires won't help all that much, as it does not ask the right question. The question is if you identify as anything other than a human, witch can be hard to know. Come time, you will realize if you do or not, but no one can tell you

Creative Looking for a Podcast cohost!

5 Upvotes

Eyoo! I am Indra, and I have been wanting to make a podcast for ages, but all of my tries have failed due to lack of self discipline. I am motivated, but I lack skills on my own. I want it to be open ended, because there are a lot of ideas.

But why am I posting this here instead of r/Podcasts or elsewhere? Well! Because I am Alterhuman, system and got stuff that "Normies" don't get necessarily without explaining the details instantly.

Topics that I have thought of include:

- Alterhumanity

- System topics

- Occult topics

- Trans topics

Etc.

The name is under works, and details can be figured out once the Podcast is taking form!

Little bit of the requirements:

- You should be creative and open for topics

- Endo Positive at least

- An adult

- Willing to actually do work together.

- Curious.

If you got curious or want to hear more, feel free to send me a DM! :3 Thank you for reading, catch you later!

Discussion Shadowkin Questions

9 Upvotes

I've been reconnecting with the shadow aspects of myself recently. It's made me remember just how much of me is defined by darkness, and how much my preferred form is shaped by the nature of a shadow. For a while now I've been trying to figure out the nature of what I am, a physical eldritch parasite, or a shadow creature that possessed this body. I think I'm leaning towards being a shadow creature originally.

But this line of thinking made me curious. What kind of forms do other shadowkin prefer? Do you prefer your original shadow body, or would you prefer something else? Is there a particular shape that you feel the most comfortable with?

I think I've been affected by the time I've spent in this human body. I've developed a preference for having a body of flesh and blood, but I would prefer to be in a body that can still reshape itself freely like I could as a shadow. I also seem to have a preference for forming long tentacles or triangular shapes.

5 Upvotes

so i recently found out that am a Fount of knowledge/Shadowmil fiction kin and rotten girl miku, but i also think im other kin of: Angel (not religious), shark, cat, doll, Catgirl,,

BUT idk if im using that term right.

idk if these is needed but ill explain,

when i feel like Angel, Its like i feel more light expect my back which gets heavier and i feel numb, it feels like im more drifting through the day,, I wear more bows/ribbons then i usually do etc etc more stereotypical angel stuff,, but this can go on for a while like this feeling like an angel thing for like a week,

When i feel like a shark, I get more hungry, and bite more things, and i do bite myself a lot,, I feel more alert and anxious, i usually have to wear more arm coverings bc of the whole biting thing,, Thankfully i haven't felt like a shark in a while,

I don't really feel like doll its more like i desperly want doll joints, like there is days were i look at hands and am confused bc why dont i have doll joints?

I dont really feel like cat, but i pet regess into a cat, And with the cat girl its more like i wish to have a cat tail and ears, I sometimes feel like i do have tail tho,

ANYWAY

base question, im a other kin or an alter human?

also here is the link the post were i found out what that im fic kin

NOTE

bc this was asked on my last vid, no im not a system nor do i have did (At least to my knowledge) I just tend to assign names, gender, etc to different personality's i have,

Question I need?

5 Upvotes
Hello. I believe this is my first post. I’d like to ask: how do you cope with otherkinphobias, as well as with internal and external aggression? I was in a chat recently where I didn’t get along with the other participants; I often struggle to control my own thoughts. I’ve also encountered insulting replies here in this group. By the way, I’m using a translation tool, so I’m not entirely sure if my phrasing is the most natural or common way to ask this. I’ve frequently run into insults and belittling behavior online (including here on Reddit), and I suspect that might happen under this post, too. To be honest, descriptions of Reddit as "the liveliest platform on the internet" or "the heart of the internet" make me feel a bit uneasy—but I’m going to post this anyway.

Discussion Why does it seem like therians are the only popluar type of otherkin/alterhuman

27 Upvotes

Any time I look for alterhuman or otherkin content. it's always therians. I'm a otherpaw so it's not like I won't watch it. But I wish the other types were more popluar. I already know that I'm a minority in the communtiy. I'm a demihuman (nekomimi). But still.

I kinda feel alone. Low-key feel like I'm still the only one feeling these experinces.

How many times am I gonna listen to streetcat by flavor Foley for some relatability??

Groups Dragonkin, learned as a consequence of spiritual healing and scientific research

16 Upvotes

Hello 👋 about 2 years ago I was doing spiritual/energy healing work with someone I knew at the time for making progress on healing myself from scoliosis, and through various means I had fairly overt indication of having a dragon form (and I'm only now hearing about otherkin as a topic); visual light-scales and my hands "shape-shifting" (visually), sensationally the jaw/snout and tail.

There's more related to this topic, but those are the most overt experiences. I'm interested in my dragon form, at least as of now, only due to it being an inseparable necessity for my body to heal its structural impairments, and I was hesitant on even engaging with the idea of having a dragon-form/soul/overlay/history until there were years of wacky spiritual/physics experiences, and a load of information on sciences, spirituality, and history (of a lot).

I'd love to chat other people who are also pragmatic about this, and it'd be awesome to find someone who also (seemingly) has ancient-mythology connections. Would be even cooler if you're also in the Central Florida area :)

Question From early mailing lists to ephemeral spaces: Are we losing our collective archives?

13 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

Thinking back to the roots of the community—from the early 90s mailing lists, Usenet groups (like AHWW), and niche archives that documented non-human experiences—so much foundational writing and history ended up disappearing when older hosts went offline or domains expired.

Today, a huge portion of alterhuman discourse lives inside private Discord servers or centralized social platforms that could be deleted or purged overnight.

On one hand, private and ephemeral spaces protect members' anonymity, which is essential given online scrutiny. On the other hand, we risk our lineage and shared essays vanishing every few years without an immutable archive.

Do you think having a permanent, decentralized, public record benefits the community's longevity, or is impermanence and strict privacy the safer path for non-human identities?

Discussion New to this community

For years now I've felt.. inhuman. I've felt more akin to a robot, machine, or AI than I have to humanity and I'm only just now finding out about the Otherkin community and other communities. However I've looked through here and I don't think i've quite found someone that has expressed similar feelings to me, and I'm wondering if this would be the right place for me to be.

I do believe I identify closer to that of an AI, i'm just a tad confused as to how all this works. Forgive me if what i'm saying sounds out of place! <3

Fluff New to otherkin communtiy after finding out that im a Catgirl/Nekomimi

22 Upvotes

I prefer identifying with the specific word Nekomimi. I wish to be reincarnated as a nekomomi. I wanna wear gear all day and everyday. It's more than just cosplay, it's my dream self. I picture myself as a cat girl. Can't wait to get my own gear, I'll even get some temporary fangs!! 🐾

I don't feel feline on the inside but I feel so attached and happy with being a nekomimi. It feels like a part of me!!

I don't behave like one though. No hissing or anything like that. But I do get phantom ears sometimes.

You can ask me questions of you want. I'm a yapper

Hello, my name is Jonas, and I kin 3 different Weezer albums. That being Songs From The Black Hole, Pinkerton, and Weezer (aka the blue album). It’s a very strange experience. Listening to a song or an album and simply thinking, “Yeah. That’s me.” It’s really not something that many people can relate to, and although it’s a strange experience, it’s also a beautiful one. To see yourself so deeply and wholly in an art form such as music, I see it as a gift. To be able to confidently express myself in this way online, I am truly grateful. I want to hear more experiences from fellow songkins or musickins. How did you discover it? How do you feel about it? What music/album/song do you kin exactly? Let’s talk about that here.

Rant My parents sense of accepted is skewed.

21 Upvotes

I have a tail and my mom bought with me cat ears (while not understanding it at all.) and a mask.

It wasn't an animal mask no it was a completly normal black mask covering my mouth and nose with a filter.

When it arived i started wearing it at home. (Its a kind of gear for me) My mom threatened that my dad would get rid of it if i wear it home and school! Even worse would it be she promised! The same person who saw me wearing a tail for MONTHS and said nothing isn't alright with me wearing a mask. Dad had a very simelar negative reaction (without the threaths) and kept asking if its because of an influencer even though i first: don't watch them, second: haven't seen one in 10 months and third: i never copied other people even less influencer. My dad keps blaming all my problems on it.

BECAUSE WELL SORRY THAT I LEARNED I CAN CARE FOR MYSELVES AND AREN'T BLIND TO IT ANYMORE DAD.

I have more such problems and i plan to talk them out with my parents like explaining alterhumanity, genderfluidity, plurality and the fact that the kid they knew didn't know who they themselves where so they should not think of my previos self (ves) as my true me.

Can you tell me how you're coming out worked and don't worry, i have a text written down as an introduction to all the conversation, and their reaction will be a test if they failed i keep stuff to myselves.

I began writing this because their sense of not allowed/accepted is weird and now everything else also came out... well we needed it.
