The “Are you Kin” Checklist

Or are you experiencing something else?  So you think you are Otherkin? Then this is the checklist post for you! Devised to help narrow down whether or not you fit the kin experience, have a sit down and check those boxes out! Disclaimer: These checklists are a simple guide to help narrow down the different experiences criteria. It is NOT a foolproof or validity based checklist for deciding whether or not you are these things.  - - -  The Otherkin Checklist ☐ You identify as non-human either partially or fully. ☐  The identity is non-physical in nature. ☐ The identity is integral and inseparable from yourself. ☐  The experience is involuntary and not chosen.  ☐ The identity is more than relating to or sharing traits with the kintype in question. ☐ The identity is not for roleplay, for fun or for coping; it does not come and go as wanted/needed. ☐ Awakening to being Otherkin did not change who you are, rather it solidified it. ☐ You feel whole or complete in this identity and can not turn it on or off. If you have checked all or most of these boxes, you may be Otherkin. If you do not meet most or any of these experiences that are integral to being Otherkin, you are not. Continue to the next list! - - - The Fictionkin Checklist ☐ You identify as a fictional character or species from media. ☐  The identity is non-physical in nature. ☐ The identity is integral and inseparable from yourself. ☐ The identity is more than relating to or sharing traits with the fictotype in question. ☐ The experience is involuntary and not chosen. ☐ It is not something done for roleplay and not done for “fun”. ☐ The identity is not chosen for coping; it does not come and go as wanted/needed. If you have checked all or most of these boxes, you may be Fictionkin. If you do not meet most or any of these criteria that are integral to being FIctionkin, you are not. Move to the next list! - - - The Therian Checklist ☐ You identify as an animal, including those that are extinct. ☐  The identity is non-physical in nature. ☐ The identity is integral and inseparable from yourself. ☐  The experience is involuntary and not chosen.  ☐ The identity is more than relating to or sharing traits with the theriotype in question. ☐ The identity is not for roleplay, for fun or for coping; it does not come and go as wanted/needed. ☐ Awakening to being Therian did not change who you are, rather it solidified it. ☐ You feel whole or complete in this identity and can not turn it on or off. If you checked all or most of these boxes you might be a Therian. If you checked little to none of these boxes then you are most likely not a Therian. Move on to the next list! - - - The Copinglink Checklist ☐ You choose to identify as non-human, or a fictional entity. ☐ The identity is consciously created or chosen specifically. ☐ It was created as a coping mechanism. ☐ You are able decide who/what you identify as. ☐ The identity is made that can come and go as wanted/needed. If you have checked most or all of these boxes you may be a Copinglinker. If you do not meet most or any of these criteria, then probably not likely. Continue on to the next list! - - - The Otherhearted Checklist ☐ You feel a strong connection or bond to another species. ☐ You feel related to the species but do not identify as it. ☐ The feeling towards it is familial in nature, or like that of a close friend. ☐ The species is important to you and brings you a sense of familiarity. If you checked all or most of these boxes you may be Otherhearted. If you do not meet most or any of these criteria, then it is least likely conclusive to that. Move to the next list! - - - The Fictionhearted Checklist ☐ You feel a strong connection or bond to a fictional species or character. ☐ You do not identify as the fictional being in question, but identify with it. ☐ You feel a deep relation to it and it is familiar in nature, like that of a family member or close friend. ☐ The fictional being is important to you and brings you a sense of familiarity. If you have checked all or most of these boxes, you may be Fictionhearted. If you only checked a few or none at all, then you are probably not fictionhearted.  - - - Thank you for taking the time to check out this post! I hope that this has laid out a better understanding to what makes up these different experiences, and maybe given you some insight on whether you fit any of these or not. If you have any questions about information on any of these communities, I am more than happy to help! -Azaphaer

I made this post about otherkin/therian youtubers some time ago that anon might find useful!

I need help. I think I’m a wolfkin and I don’t know how to deal with it. Can you post some resources for new kins? I love your blog!

First off, I highly recommend watching PD on YouTube because believe me he covers and explains so much. There’s all sorts of blogs out there on tumblr that I’d recommend, here’s a list!

@theriannation @a-dragons-journal @angelic-virtue @kin-assistance @bowlofjuiceandtears @dreadful-monsterkin @greenteawithginsengandhoney

Most of them touch different parts of the community but are overall very helpful in understanding the whole otherkin thing. If anyone else has an otherkin/therian that’s about support or information please do reblog this! And I hope this helps you on your journey!!!

Velociraptor with an interest in space? Count me in! I had never tried drawing any type of dinosaur before, but I sure enjoyed the challenge. Thank you for requesting this OCsunday. Hope you like it!

Gentle reminder that you, too, can tag me in a drawing of your OC for me to draw fanart of!

Otherkin and dreams

I have noticed something about my kins and I’d like to know if someone else has experienced something similar but... I’ve noticed I don’t “shift”. Well, not in the sense that everyone else seems to. I can’t recall a single time I’ve felt like I become the animals I’m kin with. I really do get a strong sense of familiarity with them, but I’m always myself... I don’t know how to explain it. 

What I do experience are very vivid dreams. That’s what got me questioning about being otherkin in the first place. Some dreams are recurring, but others are like a saga, like I’m reliving my past lives in the dream realm. They all seem to happen in the same setting, like they really mirroring things that happened in real time.

So that’s what I want to ask to others who identify as otherkin... Does someone else’s otherkin experience match my own? Not experiencing shifts while awake but living your past lives exclusively in your dreams. 

The only times I ever experience some sort of species disphoria is when I wake up abruptly after a specially vivid dream of being a wolf or a snake, and for a bit I get really confused about being in a different body. However, in my dreams I never feel confused about being an animal. 

I also wake up sometimes very scared about having nightmares of my violent death as a wolf (I dream about being hunted down and as pain enters my wolf body I wake up and it costs me a lot to fall back asleep, the emotions are just so real). This is a recurring dream and it always goes down the same way.

I’d love to hear out your experiences and know if something similar has happened to you! Feel free to reach out to me in comments and my DMs!

This week’s #OCsunday was of Risk, made by @thecorviknight. 

He looks like an edgy boy with lots of feels and I really like his ear nail, I think it looks neat. I made this into more of an anthrophomorphic version of him, but I hope you like it!

If you have a problem with my post please let me know and I will take it down.

OC Sunday

I have an idea for a new section in this blog: OC Sunday! in which, every sunday I go to the #OC tag on Tumblr and pick one random post to make a drawing of! The idea is to practice my skills while giving a nice gift to a random stranger on the intternet.

 I got the idea for this after making this post. I had so much drawing Vicky that I’ve now decided it should be a regular thing on my blog! I’ll do my best to do this every single sunday. So I’ll keep you updated!

If you want me to draw your OC, tag me in a drawing you’ve made of them with the hastag #OCsunday and I’ll give it priority!

Where’s that post that taught you how to draw anatomically accurate wings!?

I made my fursona in Animal Crossing Style! Such good childhood memories...

I made this drawing of @ashpurplescalymemeandart awesome OC Vicky! I just loved the design and the fact that she built her own wings! Such a powerful metafor... 

I hope you like it!

I reimagined an old drawing that @37raichus posted on their blog a couple days ago! Unfortunately they can’t remember the original owner of the character so if you recognize it feel free to DM me so I can properly credit u! This was very much fun to draw, I love how neat the dark blue filter made it look!
